  Hereinafter, a pachislot machine showing one embodiment of a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, a pachislot machine having a function of ART (simulated bonus) will be described.

<Function flow>
First, referring to FIG. 1, the functional flow of the pachislot machine will be described. In the pachislot machine of the present embodiment, a medal is used as a game medium for playing a game. In addition to the medals, for example, coins, gaming balls, point data or tokens for gaming may be applied as gaming media.

  When a player inserts a medal into a pachislot and the start lever is operated, one value (hereinafter, a random value) is extracted from random numbers in a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 65535).

  The internal lottery means performs lottery based on the extracted random number value to determine an internal winning combination. By the determination of the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols permitting display along an effective line (winning determination line) described later is determined. In addition, as a classification of the combination of the symbol, there are a thing related to the "winning" in which a bonus such as payout of medals and operation of replay (replay) is given to the player and a thing related to other so-called "loss". Provided.

  In addition, when the start lever is operated, rotation of the plurality of reels is performed. Thereafter, when the player presses the stop button corresponding to the predetermined reel, the reel stop control means and the special game stop control means select the corresponding reel based on the internal winning combination and the timing when the stop button is pressed. Control to stop the rotation.

  In the pachislot, basically, control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel within a specified time (190 msec) after the stop button is pressed. In this embodiment, the number of symbols moving with the rotation of the reel within this specified time is called "the number of sliding pieces", and the maximum number is determined to be four symbols.

  The reel stop control means, when an internal winning combination permitting combination display of symbols related to winning is determined, the combination of the symbols is along the effective line within a prescribed time of 190 msec (for four symbols of symbols) Stop rotation of the reel so that it is displayed as much as possible. Also, the reel stop control means uses the specified time to stop the rotation of the reel so that the combination of symbols whose display is not permitted by the internal winning combination is not displayed along the effective line.

  In this manner, when the rotations of the plurality of reels are all stopped, the prize determination means determines whether or not the combination of the symbols displayed along the activated line relates to a prize. If it is determined that the combination of symbols relating to a prize is made by the prize determination means, a bonus such as payout of medals is given to the player. In the pachislot machine, the above-described series of flow operations are performed as one game (unit game).

  In the pachislot, in the above-described series of operations, various effects are displayed by using the display device to display an image, output light from various lamps, output sound from a speaker, or a combination of these. To be done. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, for example, various reel effects are also provided for informing an ART winning or the like during an acceleration period of the reel at the start of the ART game, as described later.

  Further, in the pachislot, when the start lever is operated, random numbers for presentation (hereinafter, random numbers for presentation) are extracted separately from the random numbers used to determine the internal winning combination described above. When the effect random number value is extracted, the effect content determination means randomly determines the effect content to be executed this time out of a plurality of types of effect content associated with the internal winning combination.

  When the contents of the effect are determined, the effect executing means interlocks with respective triggers such as, for example, the start of rotation of the reels, the stop of the rotation of each reel, and the determination of the presence or absence of a prize, to execute corresponding effects. Thus, in Pachislot, there is an opportunity or an opportunity to know the determined internal winning combination (in other words, the combination of the symbols that the player should aim for) by executing the presentation content associated with the internal winning combination. It is provided to the player, and the interest of the player can be improved.

  The main ROM 52 includes control programs for various processes (see FIGS. 87 to 112 described later) executed by the main CPU 51, data tables such as an internal lottery table (see FIGS. 6 to 59 described later), and the sub control circuit 42. The data etc. for transmitting various control instructions (command) with respect to are stored. The main RAM 53 is provided with storage areas (see FIGS. 60 to 66) for storing various data such as an internal winning combination determined by execution of the control program.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a clock pulse generation circuit 54, a frequency divider 55, a random number generator 56 and a sampling circuit 57 are connected to the main CPU 51. Clock pulse generating circuit 54 and frequency divider 55 generate clock pulses. The main CPU 51 executes a control program based on the generated clock pulse. Further, the random number generator 56 generates a random number (for example, 0 to 65535) within a predetermined range. Then, the sampling circuit 57 extracts one value from the generated random numbers.

  Various switches and sensors are connected to the input port of the microcomputer 50. Main CPU 51 receives input signals from various switches and the like, and controls the operation of peripheral devices such as stepping motors 61L, 61C and 61R.

  The stop switch 17S (stop operation detection means) detects that the player has pressed the left stop button 17L, the middle stop button 17C, and the right stop button 17R (stop operation). The start switch 16S (start operation detection means) detects that the player has operated the start lever 16 (start operation). The settlement switch 14S detects that the settlement button has been pressed by the player.

  The medal sensor 35S (input operation detecting means) detects that the medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 11 has passed through the inside of the selector 35. Further, the bet switch 12S detects that the player has pressed the bet button (the MAX bet button 12 or the 1 BET button 14).

  Further, as peripheral devices whose operation is controlled by the microcomputer 50, there are three stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R (variation display means), a 7-segment display 6, and a hopper 33.

  The motor drive circuit 62 controls the drive of three stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R respectively provided corresponding to the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R. The reel position detection circuit 63 detects, for each reel, a reel index which indicates that the reel has made one rotation, by an optical sensor having a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion.

  Each of the three stepping motors 61L, 61C, and 61R has a configuration in which the momentum is proportional to the number of pulse outputs, and the rotation axis can be stopped at a designated angle. Further, the driving force of each stepping motor is transmitted to the corresponding reel through a gear having a predetermined speed reduction ratio. Then, each time a pulse is output to each stepping motor, the corresponding reel rotates at a fixed angle.

  The main CPU 51 detects the reel index of each reel and then counts the number of times the pulse is output to the corresponding stepping motor, whereby the rotation angle of each reel (specifically, the number of symbols of the reel) Manage only what).

  Here, management of the rotation angle of each reel will be specifically described. The number of pulses output to each stepping motor is counted by a pulse counter (not shown) provided in the main RAM 53. Then, every time the pulse counter counts the output of a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times) necessary for the rotation of one symbol, the value of the symbol counter (not shown) provided in the main RAM 53 is “1 "Is added. A symbol counter is provided for each reel. Then, the value of the symbol counter is cleared when the reel position detection circuit 63 detects a reel index.

  That is, in this embodiment, by managing the value of the symbol counter, it is managed how many symbol rotation operations have been performed since the reel index is detected. Therefore, the position of each symbol on each reel is detected on the basis of the position where the reel index is detected. In the present embodiment, as described above, the maximum number of sliding symbols is set to four symbols, so that, for example, when the stop button corresponding to the predetermined reel is pressed during the game, the display window 4 is The symbol of the predetermined reel located in the corresponding area on the winning determination line of and the symbol existing in the range up to the fourth point become the symbol that can be stopped in the area. In addition, also when stopping and displaying a specific symbol combination in various reel effects described later, the reel index is detected for each reel in the same manner as the method described above, and the specific symbol is displayed based on the detection result. Stop it.

  The display unit drive circuit 64 included in the main control circuit 41 controls the operation of the 7-segment display 6. The hopper drive circuit 65 controls the operation of the hopper 33. The payout completion signal circuit 66 manages detection of the medals performed by the medal detection unit 33S provided in the hopper 33, and checks whether the medals discharged from the hopper 33 to the outside have reached a predetermined number of payouts.

<Structure of data table stored in main ROM>
Next, configurations of various data tables stored in the main ROM 52 will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, here, the configuration of various data tables necessary for the basic operation of the game will be mainly described, and the configuration of various data tables necessary for various reel effects, random acceleration processing, etc. to be described later will be described. This will be described appropriately in the description.

[Symbol arrangement table]
First, the symbol arrangement table will be described with reference to FIG. The symbol arrangement table is data for specifying the position of each symbol in the rotational direction of each of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R, and the type of symbol arranged at each position (hereinafter referred to as symbol code (FIG. 6) Define the correspondence with the symbol code table of

  In the symbol arrangement table, when the reel index is detected, the position of the symbol arranged in the middle region of each reel in the frame of the display window 4 is defined as “0”. Then, in each reel, "0" to "20" corresponding to the symbol counter are designated as symbol positions in the order of proceeding in the direction of rotation of the reel (direction of arrow A in FIG. 6) with reference to symbol position "0". Assigned to a symbol.

  That is, by referring to the symbol counter values ("0" to "20") and the symbol arrangement table, the symbols displayed in the upper, middle and lower regions of each reel in the frame of the display window 4 Can identify the type of For example, when the value of the symbol counter corresponding to the left reel 3L is "7", in the upper, middle and lower regions of the left reel 3L in the frame of the display window 4, "#" A symbol corresponding to "Apple 1", "Bell 1" at symbol position "7" and "Replay 2" at symbol position "6" is displayed.

[Symbol combination table]
Next, the symbol combination table will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 20. The symbol combination table defines the correspondence between the combination of symbols predetermined according to the type of benefit, the display combination (storage area) and the number of payouts.

  In this embodiment, when the combination of the symbols displayed by the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R along the effective line (center line) matches the combination of the symbols specified in the symbol combination table. It is determined to be a prize. Then, when it is determined to be a winning, the player is given a privilege such as the payout of medals and the operation of replay. If the combination of symbols displayed along the effective line does not match any of the combinations of symbols specified in the symbol combination table, it becomes a so-called "loss". That is, in the present embodiment, the symbol combination of "loss" is defined by not defining the symbol combination corresponding to "loss" in the symbol combination table. The present invention is not limited to this, and an item of "loss" may be provided in the symbol combination table to directly define "loss".

  The various data described in the display combination column in the symbol combination table is data for identifying the combination of symbols displayed along the effective line. The "data" in the display combination column is represented by 1-byte data, and a unique symbol combination (content of display combination) is assigned to each bit in the data.

  Further, the data of “storage area” in the display combination column is data for specifying a display combination storage area (see FIG. 60 described later) in which the corresponding display combination is stored. In the present embodiment, 42 display combination storage areas are provided. And in this embodiment, the bit pattern (data pattern of 1 byte) is the same, and the display combination with different contents is managed as another display combination according to the difference of "storage area".

  The numerical values described in the payout amount column in the symbol combination table indicate the number of medals to be paid out to the player. In the combination of symbols to which one or more numerical values are given as data of "the number of payouts", the medals of the same number as the numerical values are paid out. In the present embodiment, the display combination on which such medals are paid out is generically referred to as "small combination".

  In the present embodiment, for example, the display combination (one of “C_CL bell 01” to “C_XU bell 12 shown in the symbol combination table in FIGS. 7 to 20) according to“ bell ”is determined as the display combination. Occasionally, nine medals are paid out for the number of inserted three medals. Also, for example, when the display combination according to “apple” (one of “C_CL apple 01” to “C_XU apple 08” shown in the symbol combination table of FIGS. 7 to 20) is determined as the display combination. The payout of six medals is performed for the inserted number of three medals.

  Further, in the present embodiment, for example, any of the combinations of symbols relating to the display combination relating to replay as the display combination (“C_RT1 Lip 01” to “C_Normal Lip 24” shown in the symbol combination table of FIGS. Replay is activated when a decision is made.

  The display combination according to “R_RT1 transition 1” to “R_RT1 transition 32” shown in the symbol combination table of FIGS. 7 to 20 could not stop and display the symbol combination according to the “special bell” on the effective line. It is a part displayed when (done), and a display part that becomes a trigger when the RT gaming state shifts to the RT1 gaming state (general gaming state) described later. Therefore, when the symbol combination corresponding to any of "R_RT1 transition 1" to "R_RT1 transition 32" is stopped and displayed on the activated line, the RT gaming state shifts to the RT1 gaming state described later. .

[RT transition table]
Next, the RT transition table will be described with reference to FIG. The RT transition table defines the correspondence between the transition condition of the RT gaming state and the RT gaming state of the transition source and the transition destination.

  In the present embodiment, eight types of states of RT0 gaming state to RT7 gaming state are provided as the RT gaming state, in which the type of internal winning combination of replay and the winning probability thereof are different from each other. And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, that the symbol combination which concerns on a predetermined | prescribed combination is stop-displayed on an effective line becomes a transition opportunity between RT gaming states. Specifically, the symbol combination of the role according to "special bell spill", or various Replay ("Replay 1" ~ "Replay 6", "Replay 8", "Replay B", "Replay R" and "Replay P" When the symbol combination of the combination (hereinafter referred to as "replay combination") related to ")" is displayed, the RT gaming state shifts.

  The symbol combination of the combination related to the "special bell spill" which becomes the transition timing of the RT gaming state is any of "R_RT1 transition 1" to "R_RT1 transition 32" defined in the symbol combination table of FIG. 7 to FIG. Symbol combination. In addition, the symbol combination of the replay combination serving as the transition trigger of the RT gaming state is any symbol combination of "C_RT1 Lip 01" to "C_RT7 Lip 12" defined in the symbol combination table of Figs.

  In the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 (main CPU 51) controls the transition of the RT gaming state with reference to the RT transition table, but for details of the transition flow of the RT gaming state, A more specific description will be given later with reference to FIG. Also, in the following, the RT gaming state is simply referred to as "RT state". Therefore, the RT0 gaming state to the RT7 gaming state are also referred to as the "RT0 state" to the "RT7 state", respectively.

[Internal lottery table]
Next, the internal lottery table will be described with reference to FIGS. The internal lottery table includes small part / replay data pointers “0” to “52” associated with winning numbers “0” to “52” in each RT state, and the small part / replay data pointer, respectively. Define the correspondence with the lottery value when is determined.

  The small part and replay data pointer is data acquired as a result of lottery performed with reference to the internal lottery table, and is an internal winning combination defined by an internal winning combination determination table (see FIGS. 26 to 36) described later. Is data for specifying. The lottery value defined corresponding to the winning number (small part / replay data pointer) “0” in the internal lottery table shown in FIGS. 22 to 24 is a lottery value related to “lost”. Further, the lottery value defined corresponding to winning numbers “1” to “30” (abbreviated “F_rip 0” to “F_rip G9”) is a lottery value relating to the replay role, and winning numbers “31”. The lottery value defined corresponding to “52” (abbreviated “F_bell ALL” to “F_apple”) is a lottery value relating to a small winning combination.

  In the present embodiment, as is apparent from comparison of the lottery values defined in the column of each RT state in FIGS. 22 to 24, the lottery value relating to the small winning combination is the same regardless of the RT state. However, the setting of the lottery value (the type of the winning replay player and the lottery value thereof) related to the replay player differs depending on the RT state. The setting contents of the lottery value relating to the replay combination in each RT state will be described in more detail later with reference to FIG. 67 together with the transition contents of the RT state.

  In the internal lottery process of the present embodiment, first, random number values extracted from a predetermined numerical value range (for example, 0 to 65535) are sequentially subtracted by lottery values defined corresponding to the respective winning numbers. Next, it is determined (internal lottery) whether the result of subtraction has become negative (whether so-called "worried" has occurred). Then, if the result of subtraction becomes negative (a "digit" is generated) at a predetermined winning number, it means that the winning number has been obtained, and the data pointer assigned to the corresponding number is acquired.

  Therefore, in the internal lottery process of this embodiment, the probability that the assigned data (data pointer) is determined is higher as the winning number is larger and the numerical value specified as the lottery value is larger. In addition, the winning probability of each winning number can be represented by “lottery value defined for each winning number / number of all random values that may be extracted (random number denominator: 65536)”.

  Specifically, for example, when the current RT state is the RT1 state, the probability that a winning number “0” (abbreviated “loss”) is won and “0” is acquired as a small commercial / replay data pointer ( The probability of winning internally for "lost" is "34256/65536" (see FIG. 22). Also, for example, when the current RT state is the RT1 state, the probability that the winning number “2” (abbreviated “F_Rip G1A”) is won and “2” is acquired as the small part and replay data pointer is It becomes "5/65536" (see FIG. 22). Furthermore, for example, when the current RT state is the RT1 state, the probability that the winning number “31” (abbreviated “F_bell ALL”) is won and “31” is acquired as the small commercial player data pointer is It becomes "819/65536" (see FIG. 23).

[Lottery value change table]
In the present embodiment, the setting of the winning probability (expected value) of the small part and replay data pointer “2” (the winning number “2”) in the RT1 state can be changed in advance. FIG. 25 shows a lottery value change table (lottery value setting change means) used when changing the setting of the lottery value in the RT1 state.

  In the example shown in FIG. 25, the lottery value in the RT1 state can be set to any one of setting 1 to setting 6. The lottery value in the RT1 state of setting 1 in FIG. 25 corresponds to the lottery value described in the column of the RT1 state in the internal lottery table shown in FIGS.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery value of the small part / replay data pointer "2" (the winning number "2") is linearly increased with the increase of the set value (1 to 6). Specifically, in this example, the lottery value change table is set so that the lottery value increases by 5 when the setting value is increased by 1.

  In this embodiment, the gaming state is described later in the “normal gaming state” (RT1 or RT7 state) by changing the setting of the winning probability of the data pointer “2” (the winning number “2”) for the small winning combination / replay in advance. A left reel constituting a display combination (in the present embodiment, a combination corresponding to the abbreviation “F_rip G1A” in FIG. 25) serving as a trigger for shifting to “pseudo-bonus” (RT5 state: ART state) described later Main specific symbols of 3 L (in this embodiment, "apple 2" at symbol position "5" in Fig. 6, "red 7" at symbol position "4" and "apple 2" at symbol position "3") The probability of being displayed in the middle region of the left reel 3L can be changed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the additional lottery table (see FIG. 73 described later) referred to in the later-described “simulated bonus” game is linked to the setting value of the lottery value change table in the RT1 state, The winning probability of the additional lottery changes in accordance with the setting value. Specifically, on the extra lottery table described later, the winning lottery probability of the extra lottery in the game of the “pseudo bonus” (the occurrence of “super effect (reel effect) described later (reel effect) with the increase of the setting value (1 to 6) Frequency) increases.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, by changing in advance the setting of the winning probability of the small part and replay data pointer "2" (the winning number "2"), the transition to the "pseudo-bonus" (ART state) described later It is possible to change the probability that the specific symbol of the left reel 3L is displayed, which constitutes a display combination to be a trigger, and to win the winning probability of the additional lottery in the later-described “simulated bonus” game (“additional effect” Frequency of occurrence of reel effect can be changed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to predict the numerical value of the current setting by grasping the frequency at which the specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the left reel 3L in the “pseudo-bonus” described later.

[Internal winning combination decision table]
Next, the internal winning combination determination table will be described with reference to FIGS. The internal winning combination determination table defines the correspondence between the small winning combination / replay data pointer and the internal winning combination. That is, when the small winning combination / replay data pointer is determined, data of the internal winning combination is uniquely acquired by the internal winning combination determination table.

  “Internal winning combination” in the internal winning combination determination table is data for identifying a combination of symbols on the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R which permits display along the effective line. "Internal winning combination" is represented by 1-byte data in the same manner as "display combination" in the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 7 to 20, and a unique symbol for each bit in the 1-byte data. A combination of is assigned. In addition, when the data pointer for small part and replay is "0", the content of "internal winning combination" becomes "loss", but this is defined by the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 7 to 20. Indicates that display of all symbol combinations is not permitted.

  FIGS. 26 to 36 are diagrams showing the configuration of the internal winning combination determination table for the small winning combination / replay in the present embodiment. The internal winning combination determination table defines the small winning combination and the replay combination for internal winnings for “1” to “52” of the small winning combination / replay data pointer. That is, the internal winning combination determination table defines the correspondence between the small winning combination / replay data pointer and the internal winning combination relating to the payout of the medal or the internal winning combination relating to the operation of the replay.

  The “o” mark in the internal winning combination determination table indicates an internal winning combination to be won in the acquired small part and replay data pointer. For example, when "2" is acquired as a small part / replay data pointer, "C_RT3 Lip 01" to "C_RT3 Lip 46" and "C_BB Lip 01" to "C_BB Lip 13" as internal winning combinations. Will win a duplicate. Also, for example, when “31” is acquired as a small part / replay data pointer, “C_CL bell 01” to “C_CL bell 08” and “C_XU bell 01” to “C_XU” as internal winning combinations. "Bell 12" wins duplicates.

[Roller stop number selection table]
Next, with reference to FIG. 37, the rotation stop number selection table will be described. The rotation stop number selection table defines the correspondence between the small part and replay data pointer and the rotation stop number. The spinning stop number is data used when acquiring various data required in the reel stop initial setting process described later.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation stop number selection table defines different rotation stop numbers for each of the small winning combination / replay data pointers. For example, when the small part and replay data pointer is "3", the rotation stop number "3" is selected.

  In the present embodiment, the example of defining the different rotation stop numbers for each small part and replay data pointer is shown as the rotation stop number selection table, but the present invention is not limited to this. The data may be reduced by defining the same rotation stop number for different small role / replay data pointers.

[Reel Stop Initial Setting Table]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 38 to 40, the reel stop initial setting table will be described. The reel stop initial setting table defines the correspondence between the rotation stop number and various data used in the pull-in priority order table selection process described later and the process of determining the number of sliding symbols of each reel described later. Specifically, the reel stop initial setting table includes a rotation stop number, determination data by depression order (draw-in priority table number and draw-in priority selection table number), irregular push table number selection value (in irregular push) The table selection data and the change status), the table change data upon forward press, the table selection data upon forward press, and the correspondence relationship between the table change initial data select value (table number and change status) upon forward press are defined.

  The drawing priority selection table number and the drawing priority table number are data used for the drawing priority table selection process. For example, in the reel stop initial setting table, if the draw-in priority table number corresponding to the rotation stop number is defined, the draw-in priority table number defined in the draw-in priority table (see FIG. 57 described later) is specified. It is possible to obtain data on the priority of the corresponding display combination. Further, in the reel stop initial setting table, if the draw-in priority table number corresponding to the rotation stop number is not defined, the draw-in priority table selection table (see FIGS. 54 to 56 described later) is referred to and drawn. The drawing priority order table number is determined based on the drawing priority order selection table data corresponding to the priority order selection table number.

  The forward push table change data, the forward push table selection data, and the table number of the forward push table change initial data selection value are referred to as a stop table (see FIGS. 41 and 42 described later) when the forward push is performed. And FIG. 47 to FIG. 51) are designated. In the present specification, “forward press” is a stop operation when the first stop operation (the first stop operation) is performed on the left reel 3L, specifically, This corresponds to the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of pushing the left middle and the right middle and the left and right middle.

  The irregular pressing table selection data is data for specifying a stop table (see FIGS. 52 and 53 described later) to be referred to when the irregular pressing is performed. In the present specification, “anomalous push” is a stop operation when the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C or the right reel 3R, and “middle left and right”, “middle right left”, “middle right left” This corresponds to the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of pressing the right middle left and the right middle left.

  In the present embodiment, basically, after the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S, the rotation of the corresponding reel is controlled to stop within 190 msec. Specifically, it corresponds to the value obtained by adding one of the number of sliding symbols “0” to “4” to the value of the symbol counter corresponding to the relevant reel when the stop operation is detected. The symbol position is determined as a symbol position at which the rotation of the reel is stopped (this is referred to as a "scheduled stop position"). The symbol position corresponding to the value of the symbol counter corresponding to the corresponding reel when the stop operation is detected is the symbol position at which the stop of the rotation of the reel is started, which is referred to as "stop start position".

  That is, the number of sliding symbols is the amount of rotation of the reel from when the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S to when the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped. In other words, it is the number of symbols passing through the middle step area of the corresponding reel of the display window 4 in the period from when the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S to when the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped. This is grasped by the value of the symbol counter updated after the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S.

  Referring to the stop table, the number of sliding symbols is obtained according to the stop start position of each reel. In the present embodiment, the number of sliding symbols is acquired based on the stop table, but this is a temporary one, and the acquired number of sliding symbols does not immediately determine the planned stop position of the reel.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when there is a more appropriate number of sliding symbols than the number of sliding symbols (hereinafter referred to as “sliding number determination data”) acquired based on a stop table described later, a drawing priority order table described later The number of sliding symbols is changed with reference to (see FIG. 57 described later). The sliding piece number determination data is referred to in order to determine the search order when comparing the priorities for each symbol from the stop start position to the symbol position four symbols ahead, which is the maximum sliding symbol number.

  In the present embodiment, the stop table to be referred to is used properly depending on the forward press and the irregular press. In the case of the forward press, the stop table for the first press at the first stop (see FIGS. 41 and 42 described later) and the stop table for the second and third stops at the forward press (see FIGS. 47 to 51 described later) Refer to On the other hand, if the irregular pushing is performed, the irregular pushing time stop table (see FIG. 52 and FIG. 53 described later) is referred to.

[Stop table for first stop at first press]
Next, with reference to FIG. 41 and FIG. 42, the stop table for first-pressing first stop will be described. In the forward press first stop stop table, the stop start positions “0” to “20” of the left reel 3L, the number of sliding symbols determination data, and the number of sliding symbols in each of the forward press table selection data “00” to “07” Define the correspondence with the change status. The change status is used when referring to a forward push control change table (see FIGS. 43 to 46 described later) described later.

  Here, as an example, the above-mentioned specific symbol (symbol position "5" in FIG. 6) of the left reel 3L in the case where the small commercial player / replay data pointer "2" (winning number "2") is won A stop operation of “2”, “red 7” at symbol position “4” and “apple 2” at symbol position “3” will be described.

  When the small commercial player data replay data pointer "2" (winning number "2") is acquired, the rotational drum stop number "2" is acquired from the rotational drum stop number selection table shown in FIG. In this case, as shown in the reel stop initialization setting table of FIG. 38, the table selection data “02” upon forward pressing is acquired. That is, the small part / replay data pointer "2" (the winning number "2") is acquired (a winning combination corresponding to the abbreviation "F_rip G1A" is won), and the first stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L. If it has been performed, the sliding symbol number determination data described in the column of the forward pressing table selection data “02” in the forward pressing first stop stop table of FIG. 41 is referred to.

  In this case, for example, when the stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L at the timing of the symbol position “4” (when the stop button is pressed), the sliding symbol number determination data is “0” (the sliding symbol number is “ 0)), and when the stop operation is performed, the symbol ("red 7") located on the determination line is stopped and displayed. Also, for example, when the stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L at the timing of the symbol position "5", the number of sliding symbols determination data becomes "0" (the number of sliding symbols is "0"), and the stop operation is performed. At this time, the symbol ("apple 2") located on the judgment line is stopped and displayed. Furthermore, for example, when the stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L at the timing of the symbol position “3”, the number of sliding symbols determination data becomes “2” (the number of sliding symbols is “2”), and the stop operation is performed. At this time, the symbol ("apple 2") two symbols ahead of the symbol ("apple 2") located on the judgment line is stopped and displayed.

  That is, when the small part / replay data pointer "2" (winning number "2") is acquired and the first stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L, the above-mentioned specific symbol is positioned on the determination line When the stop operation is performed at the timing, the corresponding specific symbol is always stopped and displayed.

[Order change control control table]
Next, the forward press control change table will be described with reference to FIGS. 43 to 46. FIG. Note that FIG. 43 is a control table for changing the forward press when the table change data for forward press is "00", and FIG. 44 is a table when the table change data for forward press is "01". It is a control change table. Further, FIG. 45 is a control table for changing the forward push when the table change data for the forward push is “02”, and FIG. 46 is a time when the table change data for the forward push is “03” It is a control change table.

  The forward push control change table defines the correspondence between the change target position (the planned stop position of the left reel 3L), the change status, and the forward press second and third stop stop table numbers. For example, the table change data at the time of forward push acquired based on the reel stop initialization setting table (see FIGS. 38 to 40) is “00”, and the stop table for first push at first push (see FIGS. 41 and 42). When the change status acquired on the basis of is “0” and the planned stop position of the left reel 3L is “18”, the control table for control of forward pressing shown in FIG. 43 is referred to, At the time of forward pressing, the stop table numbers for the second and third stops become “11 (line B)”. When no change table data is registered in the target position in the forward push control change table, the stop table number is not changed.

[Stop table for 2nd and 3rd stops when pressing forward and stop table with irregular pressing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 47 to FIG. 53, the stop table for the second and third stops at the time of forward pressing and the stop table for the irregular press will be described. The first and second stop tables and the abnormal stop table define one byte of stop data according to each of the symbol positions “0” to “20”.

  In addition, the stop table for the second and third stops at the time of forward pressing shown in FIG. 47 is referred to when the stop table number for the second and third stops at the time of forward pressing is “00”. The forward pressing second and third stopping stop tables shown in FIG. 48 are referred to when the forward pressing second and third stopping stop table numbers are “15”. The forward push second / third stop stop table shown in FIG. 49 is referred to when the forward press second / third stop table number is “12”. The forward push second / third stop stop table shown in FIG. 50 is referred to when the forward push second / third stop stop table number is “19”. In addition, the stop table for the second push and the third stop for the forward push shown in FIG. 51 is referred to when the stop table number for the second stop and the third stop for the forward push is “20”.

  The irregular pushing time stop table shown in FIG. 52 is referred to when the irregular pushing time table selection data is “00”. Further, the irregular pressing time stop table shown in FIG. 53 is referred to when the irregular pressing time table selection data is “01”.

  The stop data specified in the stop tables of the second and third stop tables for forward press and the irregular press stop table is appropriate as the position where the symbol position to which it is associated is to stop the rotation of the reel. It has the information of whether or not. Then, this stop data is information on whether or not the corresponding symbol position is suitable as a position to stop the rotation of the reel, and a row of bits corresponding to the row of “A line” in each stop table and a row of “B line” Allocate to the bit corresponding to. Further, the stop data is defined by assigning information as to which of the two types of information to be adopted to the bit corresponding to the “line change” column in each stop table.

  In other words, the forward press second and third stop tables and the irregular press stop table define a plurality of ways of determining the position at which to stop the rotation of the reel. Therefore, even if the stop start position is the same symbol position, it is possible to make the position at which the rotation of the reel is stopped different, based on the stop position at the first stop and the like. By adopting such a configuration, compression of information can be achieved.

  The determination of the number of sliding symbols determination data is performed as follows. First, according to the type of stop button in which the stop operation is detected, it is designated which of the eight bit strings (the data in the leftmost column in the figure corresponds to the bit 1) constituting the stop data. For example, when the middle stop button 17C is pressed, a column of "middle reel A line data" of bit 4 is designated.

  Then, with reference to the designated bit string, it is sequentially searched whether "1" is defined as the corresponding data for each symbol position from the stop start position to the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols. As a result of this search, the difference from the stop start position to the symbol position for which "1" is defined as the corresponding data is calculated, and the difference is determined as the number of sliding symbols determination data.

  Note that whether to change the reference bit string from the "A line" column to the "B line" column refers to the "line change" column, and "1" is specified in the data corresponding to the stop start position. It is decided by whether it is done or not. Then, when it is determined that a line change is to be performed, the column "B line" is designated thereafter and the above search is performed. Then, sliding piece number determination data is acquired based on the search result.

[Import priority table selection table]
Next, the drawing priority order table selection table will be described with reference to FIGS. 54 to 56. FIG. The drawing priority order table selection table shown in FIG. 54 is a table to be referred to when the left reel 3L is stopped for the first time, and the drawing priority order table selection table shown in FIG. 55 is the first middle reel 3C. This table is referred to when stopped, and the pull-in priority order table selection table shown in FIG. 56 is a table referred to when the right reel 3R is stopped for the first time.

  Each drawing priority order table selection table defines the correspondence between the combination of drawing priority order selection table data and the pressing order of the stop button and the drawing priority order table number in each combination. Note that the drawing priority order table number defined in each drawing priority order table selection table is data for acquiring information on the priority of the display combination specified in the drawing priority order table (see FIG. 57 described later). is there.

  Further, the drawing priority selection table data specified in each drawing priority table selection table is determined based on the drawing priority selection table number acquired with reference to the reel stop initialization setting table of FIGS. 38 to 40. Be done. Specifically, the lower two digits of the three-digit drawing priority selection table data correspond to the drawing priority selection table numbers. Then, the first digit of the leading priority selection table data corresponds to the type of the first stopped reel.

  In the present embodiment, when the left reel 3L is stopped for the first time, the upper one digit of the pull-in priority order selection table data is set to “1”, and when the middle reel 3C is stopped for the first time, the pull-up priority order The upper one digit of the selection table data is "2", and when the right reel 3R is stopped for the first time, the upper one digit of the leading priority selection table data is "3". Therefore, for example, in the case where the left reel 3L is stopped for the first time and the lead-in priority selection table number acquired by referring to the reel stop initial setting table is “11”, the lead-in priority selection table data is “ If the right reel 3R is first stopped and the draw priority selection table number acquired by referring to the reel stop initial setting table is “11”, the draw priority selection table data is “311”. It becomes ".

  Here, an example of the reference procedure of the lead-in priority order table selection table (decision procedure of the lead-in priority order table number) will be described. The pull-in priority order table selection table is executed each time the reel is stopped. For example, when the left reel 3L is stopped for the first time and the pull-in priority selection table number acquired by referring to the reel stop initial setting table is “11”, the pull-in in the pull-in priority table selection table shown in FIG. The information described in the column of priority selection table data “111” is referred to.

  Next, the type of reel subjected to the second stop operation is determined, and information in the column of pressing order "1-X-2" in the drawing priority order selection table data is referred to. The pressing order "1-X-2" indicates that the left reel 3L and the right reel 3R are stopped in this order. At this time, when the second stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R, since it corresponds to the pressing order “1-X-2” (pushing order correct), the drawing priority order table number “01” is acquired. Be done. On the other hand, when the second stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, the drawing priority order table number "02" is acquired because it does not correspond to the pressing order "1-X-2" (pushing order incorrect answer). Be done.

  After that, when the third stop operation is performed, the type of reel at that time is determined, and the information in the column of pressing order “1-3-2” of the drawing priority selection table data is referred to. The pressing order “1-3-2” indicates that the left reel 3L, the right reel 3R, and the middle reel 3C are stopped in this order. At this time, when the third stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R, the drawing priority order table number "02" is displayed because the pressing order does not correspond to the "1-3-2" (pushing order incorrect answer). Acquired (the pull-in priority table number acquired at the time of the second stop operation is maintained). On the other hand, when the third stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, since it corresponds to the pressing order “1-3-2” (pushing order correct), the drawing priority order table number “01” is acquired. (The pull-in priority table number acquired at the time of the second stop operation is maintained).

[Import priority table]
Next, with reference to FIG. 57, the pull-in priority order table will be described. The pull-in priority order table defines the correspondence between pull-in data for each storage area type and the predetermined priority thereof in each of the pull-in priority table numbers “00” to “02”.

  In addition to the number of sliding pieces obtained based on the stop table, the drawing priority order table is used to search whether there is a more appropriate number of sliding pieces. The priority order is data that defines the order in which the stop display (pulled in) is preferentially given among the types of combinations of symbols related to winning. In addition, each pull-in data is 1 similarly to the “internal winning combination” in the internal winning combination determination table shown in FIGS. 26 to 36 and the “display combination” in the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 7 to 20. It is represented by byte data, and a unique symbol combination is assigned to each bit in the 1-byte data.

  In the present embodiment, first, the number of sliding symbols is acquired based on the above-described forward-pushing first stop table (see FIGS. 41 to 42). However, if there is a more appropriate number of sliding pieces in addition to the number of sliding pieces, the number is changed to the appropriate number of sliding pieces. That is, in the present embodiment, the more appropriate number of sliding symbols is determined based on the priority of the combination of symbols for permitting the stop display by the internal winning combination regardless of the number of sliding symbols acquired by the stop table.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 57, not only the priority of the internal winning combination differs according to the drawing priority table number but also the number of divisions of the priority. Specifically, if the drawing priority order table number is "00", the number of divisions of the priority is set to 1, and if the drawing priority order table number is "01", the number of divisions of the priority order is set. It is assumed that the number of divisions of the priority is 3 when the number 2 is a pull-in priority order table number "02". Here, in order to simplify the description, the priority in the case where the pull-in priority table number is “01” will be described, and the description of the priority in the other pull-in priority table numbers will be omitted.

  When the pull-in priority order table number is "01", the priority order "1" is "C_RT1 RIP 01" to "C_RT1 RIP 08", "C_RT3 RIP 01" to "C_RT3 RIP 46", "C_RT4 RIP 01". ~ The pull-in data corresponding to “C_RT4 Lip 42”, “C_PB Lip 01” to “C_PB Lip 09”, “C_RT7 Lip 01” to “C_RT7 Lip 12”, and “C_XD Bell 01” to “C_XD Bell 12” It is prescribed. “R_RT1 transition 1” to “R_RT1 transition 32”, “C_RT5 Lip 01” to “C_RT5 Lip 18”, “C_Normal Lip 01” to “C_Normal Lip 24”, and “C_RT1 Lip 1” to “R_RT1 Shift 1” to the priority “2”, and The retraction data corresponding to “C_CL bell 01” to “C_CL bell 08” is defined.

  Then, when the draw-in priority order table number is "01", the stop display (draw-in) of the symbol combination corresponding to the internal winning combination defined in the priority order "1" is from the stop display of the other symbol combinations. Is also done preferentially.

[Search order table]
Next, referring to FIG. 58, the search order table will be described. The search order table is an order (hereinafter referred to as “search order”) to be preferentially applied from a range of numerical values predetermined as the number of sliding symbols (“0” to “4” when the maximum number of sliding symbols is 4) ").

  The search order table defines sliding piece number determination data obtained based on the above-described stop table, and its search order. That is, in the present embodiment, the order of numerical values to be preferentially applied is determined based on the sliding piece number determination data. Further, the search order table is provided on the assumption that there is a plurality of sliding pieces having the same priority, and is configured to apply a higher order search order.

  In the present embodiment, as described in the priority attraction control process of FIG. 104 described later, each numerical value is searched sequentially from the lower search order “5” of the search order table, and the search order “1” is supported. The number of sliding pieces is given priority from the numerical value of

[Symbol-corresponding winning operation flag data table]
Next, with reference to FIG. 59, the symbol-corresponding winning operation flag data table will be described. The symbol corresponding prize operation flag data table defines the correspondence between the reel type and the data of the internal winning combinations that can be displayed according to the symbol of each reel displayed on the prize judgment line. That is, by referring to the symbol corresponding prize operation flag data table, it is possible to determine the internal winning combination that can be displayed at that time. The symbol-corresponding winning operation flag data table is provided corresponding to the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 7 to 20).

  For example, when the symbol "red 7" is stopped and displayed on the winning determination line of the left reel 3L, in the storage areas 1 to 42 corresponding to the symbol code "00000001" (red 7) in the reel type "left", A "1" is stored in the bit corresponding to the internal winning combination that can be displayed. The data defined in the symbol-corresponding winning operation flag data table is ANDed with the data stored in a symbol code storage area (see FIG. 64 described later) and stored.

<Configuration of Storage Area Provided in Main RAM>
Next, configurations of various storage areas provided in the main RAM 53 will be described with reference to FIGS. 60 to 66. FIG. Although not described here (not shown), the main RAM 53 also stores storage areas such as effect random numbers, various control data, various flags, and various counters used in various reel effects and random acceleration processing described later. Provided.

[Display combination storage area]
First, the configuration of the display combination storing area will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the display combination storage area is configured by display combination storage areas 1 to 42 each represented by 1-byte data.

  In each of the display combination storing areas 1 to 42, when "1" is set (stored) in a predetermined bit, a combination of symbols corresponding to the predetermined bit is displayed on the effective line Indicates On the other hand, when all the bits are “0”, it indicates that the combination of symbols relating to winning is not displayed on the effective line.

  Further, the main RAM 53 is provided with an internal winning combination storing area (not shown). The internal winning combination storing area is configured similarly to the display combination storing area shown in FIG. In the internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 42, when "1" is set to a plurality of bits, display of a combination of symbols corresponding to each bit is permitted. Also, when all the bits are "0", the content of the internal winning combination is "loss".

[Playing state flag storage area]
Next, the configuration of the gaming state flag storage area will be described with reference to FIG. The gaming state flag storage area stores a gaming state flag consisting of one byte. In the present embodiment, the type of RT state is assigned to each bit in the gaming state flag.

  In the gaming state flag storage area, when “1” is stored (stands up) in a predetermined bit, it indicates that the operation of RT corresponding to the predetermined bit is being performed. For example, when "1" is stored in bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area, it indicates that the current RT state is the RT7 state.

[Operation stop button storage area]
Next, the configuration of the operation stop button storage area will be described with reference to FIG. The operation stop button storage area stores an operation stop button flag consisting of one byte. In the operation stop button flag, the operation state of the stop button is assigned to each bit.

  For example, when the left stop button 17L is the stop button pressed this time, that is, the operation stop button, “1” is stored in bit 0 of the operation stop button storage area. Also, for example, in the case where the left stop button 17L is not yet pressed, that is, a valid stop button, “1” is stored in the bit 4. The main CPU 51 identifies the stop button pressed this time and the stop button not yet pressed based on the data stored in the operation stop button storage area.

[Pressing order storage area]
Next, the configuration of the pressing order storage area will be described with reference to FIG. The pressing order storage area stores a pressing order flag consisting of one byte. In the pressing order flag, the type of pressing order of the stop button is assigned to each bit. For example, when the pressing order of the stop button is “left middle right”, “1” is stored in bit 0 of the pressing order storage area.

[Symbol code storage area]
Next, with reference to FIG. 64, the configuration of the symbol code storage area will be described. In the symbol code storage area, the symbol code (symbol code storage area 1) of the symbol of the reel most recently stopped and operated and the displayable combinations (symbol code storage areas 2 to 43) are stored for each valid line. Ru. In addition, after all the reels stop, the symbol code corresponding to the display combination is stored in the symbol code storage areas 2 to 43.

  In this embodiment, when the stop control position is determined, the winning operation flag data corresponding to the symbol (code) of the stop control position is read out from the symbol corresponding winning operation flag data table (see FIG. 59), and the winning operation flag AND the data with the data already stored in the symbol code storage area. Then, the logically ANDed data is stored in the symbol code storage area shown in FIG. When a plurality of valid lines are provided, symbol code storage areas equal in number to the number of valid lines are provided.

[Pattern stop position storage area]
Next, the configuration of the symbol stop position storage area will be described with reference to FIG. The symbol stop position storage area stores, for each unit game, the symbol position of each reel stopped and displayed on the effective line (center line).

  For example, when the symbol combination ("clown"-"clown"-"apple 1") related to "C_PB lip 02" is stopped and displayed, as shown in Fig. 65, the left reel in the symbol stop position storage area The symbol position "13" is stored in the storage area corresponding to 3L, the symbol position "14" is stored in the storage area corresponding to the middle reel 3C, and the symbol position "1" is stored in the storage area corresponding to the right reel 3R. Is stored.

[Import priority data storage area]
Next, with reference to FIG. 66, the configuration of the leading priority data storage area will be described. The drawing priority order data storage area includes a left reel drawing priority order data storage area, a middle reel drawing priority order data storage area, and a right reel drawing priority order data storage area. That is, in the pull-in priority order data storage area, a storage area of priority order data is provided for each type of reel.

  In each drawing priority order data storage area, drawing priority order data determined according to each symbol position “0” to “20” of the corresponding reel is stored. In the present embodiment, by referring to the drawing priority order data storage area, it is searched whether there is a more appropriate number of sliding symbols in addition to the number of sliding symbols determined based on the above-described stop table.

  The contents of priority attraction-in data stored in the attraction priority data storage area differ depending on the type of the attraction priority table number in the attraction priority table (refer to FIG. 57) referred to in determining the attraction priority data. . Further, the higher the value of the attraction priority data, the higher the priority. On the other hand, the retraction priority data with the lowest priority is prohibited from stopping.

  By referring to the retraction priority data, it is possible to relatively evaluate the priorities among the symbols arranged on the circumferential surface of the reel. That is, the symbol for which the largest value is determined as the attraction priority data is the symbol with the highest priority. Therefore, it can be said that the drawing priority order data indicates the order between the symbols arranged on the circumferential surface of the reel. When there are a plurality of symbols having the same value of the draw-in priority order data, one symbol is determined according to the search order defined by the above-mentioned search order table (see FIG. 58).

  Although detailed description is omitted in this specification, various table data (for example, a navigation table etc.) necessary for various rendering operations are also stored in the sub ROM 82, and various storage areas necessary for the sub RAM 83. Are provided appropriately.

<Transition flow of RT state>
Here, the transition flow of the RT state and the features of each RT state will be described more specifically with reference to FIG. Further, in FIG. 67, in addition to the transition flow of the RT state, the transition flow of the gaming state such as the “normal state” or the “simulated bonus” is also described.

[Relationship between RT status and gaming status]
In this embodiment, as described in the RT transition table of FIG. 21, eight RT states of RT0 to RT7 are provided as the RT states, in which the types of internal winning combinations related to replay and their winning probability differ from each other. . And, as shown in FIG. 67, in this embodiment, the gaming state is different for each RT state.

  Specifically, the RT0 state corresponds to the RT state set when the pachislot 1 is activated, and the state of the game played at this time is referred to as the "initial state" (general game). In the RT1 state, a game similar to a normal game is played in appearance, and here, the game state at this time is referred to as a "normal state". In the RT2 state, a game is performed in which the transition role (replay role) to the later-described "simulated bonus" (ART) is won with high probability, and here, the gaming state at this time is referred to as "simulated bonus high probability state". .

  In the RT3 state, the replay players associated with "C_BB Lip 01" to "C_BB Lip 13" described in the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 7 to 20) (a transition player to a "pseudo bonus" described later) win with high probability. A game to be played is performed, and here, the gaming state at this time is referred to as "simulated BB flag interval". In the RT4 state, the replay role (the transition role to “pseudo bonus” described later) according to “C_RB RIP 01” to “C_RB Lip 13” described in the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 7 to 20) wins with high probability. A game to be played is performed, and here, the gaming state at this time is referred to as "simulated RB flag interval".

  In the RT5 state, the ART function operates to play a game that is advantageous to the player. Here, the gaming state at this time is referred to as a "simulated bonus". In the RT6 state, when the replay role related to "Replay 4" described later mainly wins in the "simulation bonus" and the gaming state falls from the "simulation bonus", the gaming state is again "simulation bonus" The game is returned to the game mode, and here, the game state at this time is referred to as "simulated bonus relief state".

  Also, in the RT7 state, a game in which the replay player wins with high probability is performed. In the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, as described later, when the play combination has won a predetermined number of times (for example, five times) consecutively in the RT0 state, the RT1 state, and the RT7 state, the RT state is shifted to the "pseudo bonus" Perform navigation to shift to RT2 state with high probability. Therefore, the RT7 state is a state where it is easy for the replay player to win a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times) and the transition to the “pseudo bonus” is determined. Here, the gaming state in the RT7 state is “chance zone ".

  Furthermore, in the following, in the “initial state” (RT0 state), the “normal state” (RT1 state) and the “chance zone” (RT7 state), since a game similar to a normal game is played in appearance, these games The state is generically called "normal game state". In the present embodiment, in the game of the “normal game state”, when a stop operation is performed by an irregular push, a penalty (for example, ART does not win, navigation does not operate, etc.) is given.

  In addition, in the “simulated bonus high probability state” (RT2 state), “simulated BB flag” (RT3 state) and “pseudo RB flag” (RT4 state), the game has a high probability of transition to “pseudo bonus” As they are known, these gaming states are also collectively referred to as "ART preparation state". Furthermore, in the "simulated bonus" (RT5 state) and the "simulated bonus rescue state" (RT6 state), the ART is activated with high probability, so these gaming states are collectively referred to as "ART state" Also called special gaming state). Hereinafter, the game contents of each RT state (game state) will be described in more detail.

[RT0 state (initial state)]
As shown in the internal lottery table of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, among various winning numbers (small part and replay data pointers) for which a lottery value larger than 0 is specified in the RT0 state column, the replay role and RT The winning numbers corresponding to the roles serving as state transition triggers are “1” (abbreviated “F_lip 0”) and “40” to “51” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right, respectively. S Bell 4 ").

  The role corresponding to the abbreviation “F_lip 0” (toward winning number “1”) is a replay combination specified as “C_normal lip 01” to “C_normal lip 24” in the symbol combination tables of FIGS. 7 to 20. It is. Hereinafter, these replay roles corresponding to the abbreviation “F_lip 0” are referred to as “replay 0”.

  “Replay 0” is a replay role that does not perform transition of the RT state. Therefore, as shown in the RT transition table of FIG. 21, the winning of “Replay 0” (display of symbol combination of “Replay 0”) does not become a transition trigger of the RT state. In the RT0 state, the lottery value of the replay combination is defined only in the field corresponding to "replay 0", and only "replay 0" is the lottery target of the replay combination.

  In addition, the part corresponding to the abbreviation “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4” (winning numbers “40” to “51”) is “R_RT1 transition point” in the symbol combination table of FIGS. It is a role defined as 1 "to" R_RT1 transition 32 ". Hereinafter, these roles corresponding to the abbreviations “F_left S-bell 1” to “F_right S-bell 4” will be referred to as “special bell drop”. In the present embodiment, "special bell missing" is a role that becomes a transition trigger of RT status regardless of RT status, and the symbol combination of "special bell missing" is stopped and displayed on the effective line (center line). If so, the RT state transitions to the RT1 state (if the current RT state is the RT1 state, the RT1 state is maintained).

  Therefore, in the RT0 state, when the symbol combination of "Replay 0" is displayed on the activated line (when "Replay 0" is won), the RT state is maintained in the RT0 state. On the other hand, in the RT0 state, when the symbol combination of "special bell missing" is displayed on the activated line (when "special bell missing" is won), the RT state shifts from the RT0 state to the RT1 state. (See Figure 21).

[RT1 state (normal state)]
(1) Type of Replay Combination to be Internally Winned First, the type of the replay combination to be internally won in the RT1 state will be described. As shown in the internal lottery table of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, in the column of the state RT1, the lottery values relating to the replay role are abbreviated as “F_rip G1A”, “F_rip G1B”, “F_rip G2A”, “F_rip” It is specified in the field corresponding to G2B "," F_ Lip G8_1XXA "to" F_ Lip G8_XX1 ", and" F_ Lip G9 "(Toward numbers" 2 "to" 5 "and" 22 "to" 30 ") . That is, in the RT1 state, the internal winning combination associated with the replay defined by the small winning combination / replay data pointers “2” to “5” and “22” to “30” becomes the lottery target of the replay combination.

  As shown in the internal lottery tables of FIGS. 22 to 24, “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) which becomes a transition timing of the RT state even in the RT1 state. The lottery value is specified in the column of), and "special bell dropout" is also subject to lottery.

  Replays common to the abbreviations "F_rip G1A" and "F_rip G1B" (small part and replay data pointers "2" and "3") are defined in the internal winning combination determination table of FIGS. 26 to 36. As such, they are replay roles according to “C_RT3 lip 01” to “C_RT3 lip 46” and “C_BB lip 01” to “C_BB lip 13”. Note that the replay player who wins with the abbreviation “F_rip G1A” (small combination / replay data pointer “2”) is only the common replay player described above. Further, under the abbreviation “F_rip G1B” (small part / replay data pointer “3”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 01” is also won twice in addition to the common replay role described above. That is, between the abbreviations “F_rip G1A” and “F_rip G1B”, it is different whether or not the replay combination according to “C_maintenance lip 01” is won in addition to the common replay role.

  Hereinafter, the replay role relating to “C_RT3 lip 01” to “C_RT3 lip 46” is referred to as “replay 1”, and the replay role relating to “C_BB lip 01” to “C_BB lip 13” is referred to as “replay B”. Also, in the following, a group of replay roles relating to “Replay 1” and “Replay B” that commonly wins in common with the abbreviation “F_rip G1A” or “F_rip G1B” will be referred to as “Replay G1”.

  Note that "Replay 1" and "Replay B" both serve as a transition trigger of the RT state, and when the symbol combination of "Replay B" is displayed, the RT state shifts to the RT 5 state. On the other hand, "Replay 1" is a replay role displayed when the symbol combination related to "Replay B" can not be displayed (when "Replay B" is dropped), and the symbol combination related to "Replay 1" is "Replay 1". If displayed, the RT state transitions to the RT3 state.

  Replays common to the abbreviations “F_rip G2A” and “F_rip G2B” (small part and replay data pointers “4” and “5”) are specified in the internal winning combination determination table of FIGS. 26 to 36. As such, they are replay roles according to "C_RT4 Lip 01" to "C_RT4 Lip 42" and "C_RB Lip 01" to "C_RB Lip 13". Note that the replay role winning in the abbreviation “F_rip G2A” (small combination / replay data pointer “4”) is only the common replay role described above. In addition, under the abbreviation “F_rip G2B” (small part and replay data pointer “5”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 01” is also won twice in addition to the common replay role described above. That is, between the abbreviations “F_rip G2A” and “F_rip G2B”, it is different whether or not the replay combination according to “C_maintenance lip 01” is won in addition to the common replay role.

  Hereinafter, the replay role relating to “C_RT4 lip 01” to “C_RT4 lip 46” is referred to as “replay 2”, and the replay role relating to “C_RB lip 01” to “C_RB lip 13” is referred to as “replay R”. Also, in the following, a group of replay roles relating to “Replay 2” and “Replay R”, which are commonly won in common with the abbreviation “F_rip G2A” or “F_rip G2B”, is referred to as “Replay G2”.

  Note that "Replay 2" and "Replay R" both play a role of an RT state transition trigger, and when the symbol combination related to "Replay R" is displayed, the RT state shifts to the RT 5 state. On the other hand, "Replay 2" is a replay role displayed when the symbol combination related to "Replay R" can not be displayed (when "Replay R" is dropped), and the symbol combination related to "Replay 2" is If displayed, the RT state transitions to the RT4 state.

  The replay role common to the abbreviations “F_rip G8_1XXA” to “F_rip G8_XX1” (small commercial data replay data pointers “22” to “29”) is specified in the internal winning combination determination table of FIGS. 26 to 36. Thus, the replay role according to "C_RT6 Lip 01" to "C_RT6 Lip 16", "C_RT7 Lip 01" to "C_RT7 Lip 12", and "C_Normal Lip 01" to "C_Normal Lip 24" ("Replay 0") It is.

  Note that the replay player who wins under the abbreviation “F_rip G8_1XXA” (small pointer / replay data pointer “22”) is only the above-mentioned common replay player. Under the abbreviation “F_rip G8_1XXB” (small part / replay data pointer “23”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 01” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. Under the abbreviation “F_rip G8_1XXC” (small combination / replay data pointer “24”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 02” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. Under the abbreviation “F_rip G8_213A” (small part / replay data pointer “25”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 03” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. Under the abbreviation “F_rip G8_213B” (small part / replay data pointer “26”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 04” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. Under the abbreviation “F_rip G8_231A” (small combination / replay data pointer “27”), the replay combination according to “C_maintenance lip 05” is won in addition to the common replay combination described above. In the abbreviation “F_rip G8_231B” (small combination / replay data pointer “28”), the replay roles pertaining to “C_maintenance lip 01” and “C_maintenance lip 02” are won in addition to the common replay role described above. . Then, under the abbreviation “F_rip G8_XX1” (small part / replay data pointer “29”), in addition to the common replay role described above, the replay roles according to “C_maintenance lip 01” and “C_maintenance lip 03” are duplicated To win. That is, among the abbreviations “F_rip G8_1XXA” to “F_rip G8_XX1”, the types of replay roles according to “maintenance rep” which is a winning combination other than the common replay role are different.

  Hereinafter, the replay role relating to “C_RT6 lip 01” to “C_RT6 lip 16” is referred to as “replay 4”, and the replay role relating to “C_RT7 lip 01” to “C_RT7 lip 12” is referred to as “replay 8”. Also, in the following, a group of replay roles relating to “Replay 0”, “Replay 4” and “Replay 8”, which are commonly won in common with the abbreviation “F_rip G8_1XXA” to “F_rip G8_XX1”, is referred to as “Replay G8” Name.

  Note that both “Replay 4” and “Replay 8” are roles that trigger transition to the RT state, and when the symbol combination relating to “Replay 4” is displayed, the RT state transitions to the RT 6 state. On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to “Replay 8” is displayed, the RT state shifts to the RT 7 state.

  The replay role corresponding to the abbreviation “F_rip G9” (small part / replay data pointer “30”) is, as defined in the internal winning combination determination table of FIGS. It is a replay role according to C_PB Lip 09 and “C_RT5 Lip 01” to “C_RT5 Lip 18”. Hereinafter, the replay role relating to “C_PB lip 01” to “C_PB lip 09” will be referred to as “replay P”, and the replay role relating to “C_RT5 lip 01” to “C_RT5 lip 18” will be referred to as “replay 6”. Also, in the following, a group of replay roles relating to “Replay P” and “Replay 6”, which is won by the abbreviation “F_rip G9”, is referred to as “Replay G9”.

  Note that both “Replay P” and “Replay 6” are roles that trigger transition to the RT state, and when the symbol combination relating to “Replay P” is displayed, the RT state transitions to the RT5 state. Further, when the symbol combination relating to “Replay P” is not displayed (when dropped), the symbol combination relating to “Replay 6” is displayed, and the RT state shifts to the RT 5 state.

(2) Winning Probability of Replay Part Next, the win probability in the RT1 state of various replay players described above will be described. As described above, in the RT1 state, the replay role included in the replay role group of any of “Replay G1”, “Replay G2”, “Replay G8” and “Replay G9” is internally won.

  And, as shown in the internal lottery table of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, the winning probability (high probability) of “Replay G8” (abbreviated “F_rip G8_1XXA” to “F_rip G8_XX1”) is “Replay G1” or “Replay G1”. It is set to be higher than the winning probability (low probability) of G2 "(abbreviated" F_ lip G1A "," F_ lip G1 B "," F_ lip G2 A "," F_ lip G2 B "). In the present embodiment, the winning probability (very low probability) of “Replay G9” (abbreviated “F_rip G9”) is “Replay G1” or “Replay G2” (abbreviated “F_rip G1A”, “F_rip G1B”). “F_lip G2A”, “F_rip G2B”) is set to be lower than the winning probability (low probability).

(3) Transition Operation of RT State and Playing State Next, the transition operation of the RT state with the RT1 state as the transition source will be described. First, in the RT1 state, it is considered that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G1”, that is, the case where “Replay 1” and “Replay B” are double wins.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" etc.) related to "Replay B" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (when "Replay B" is won), RT The state transitions from the RT1 state to the RT5 state. As a result, the gaming state shifts from the “normal state” to the “simulated bonus”. At this time, an ART of 100 games is given.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to “Replay B” can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when “Replay B” is missed), the symbol combination relating to “Replay 1” (eg “Red 7”-“-”) "Red 7"-"Replay 1" etc. is stopped and displayed on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT1 state to the RT3 state, and the gaming state shifts from "the normal state" to "between pseudo BB flags".

  Next, in the RT1 state, it is assumed that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G2”, that is, the case where “Replay 2” and “Replay R” are double wins.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "Red 7"-"Red 7"-"BAR", etc.) related to "Replay R" is stopped and displayed on the active line (when "Replay R" wins), the RT state Transitions from the RT1 state to the RT5 state. As a result, the gaming state shifts from the “normal state” to the “simulated bonus”. At this time, ART of 50 games is given.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to "Replay R" can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when "Replay R" is dropped), the symbol combination relating to "Replay 2" (e.g. "Red 7"-"-") "Red 7"-"Bell 1 etc." is stopped and displayed on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT1 state to the RT4 state, and the gaming state shifts from "the normal state" to "between simulated RB flags".

  Next, in the RT1 state, it is assumed that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G8”, that is, the case where “Replay 0”, “Replay 4” and “Replay 8” are won twice.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "Replay 1"-"Replay 1"-"Replay 1" etc.) related to "Replay 0" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (Replay role related to "Replay 0" is won Then, the RT state does not shift, and the RT1 state is maintained.

  Also, in this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "Bell 1"-"BAR"-"Bell 1" etc.) related to "Replay 4" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (when "Replay 4" wins), The RT state shifts from the RT1 state to the RT6 state, and the gaming state shifts from the "normal state" to the "simulated bonus relief state".

  In the present embodiment, the symbol combination (for example, "Bell 1"-"BAR"-"Bell 1" etc.) related to "Replay 4" causes the left reel 3L to be stopped for the first time when the stop button is pressed in order. In the order of pushing, symbol combinations are set such that stop display becomes difficult. Therefore, when displaying the symbol combination relating to "Replay 4", the push order navigation of the stop button is required.

  In the present embodiment, when the gaming state falls from "simulated BB flag" or "simulated RB flag" to "normal state" and then wins the replay role of "replay G8" in "normal state", Perform push order navigation to display the symbol combination related to "Replay 4". Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the symbol combination relating to "Replay 4" is displayed, the gaming state substantially falls from "between the pseudo BB flags" or "between the pseudo RB flags" to the "normal state" Limited to

  In the case where the symbol combination relating to "Replay 4" is displayed after the gaming state falls from "due to simulated BB flag" to "normal state", and the gaming state shifts to "dummy bonus rescue state" (ART state) Is awarded an ART of 100 games. In addition, after the gaming state falls from “simulated RB flag” to “normal state”, the symbol combination relating to “Replay 4” is displayed and the gaming state is shifted to “simulated bonus relief state” (ART state) Will receive an ART of 50 games.

  Also, in the RT1 state, win a replay role related to "Replay G8", and symbol combinations related to "Replay 8" (for example, "Bell 1"-"Replay 1"-"Apple 1" etc.) stop on the effective line When displayed ("Replay 8" wins), the RT state shifts from the RT1 state to the RT7 state, and the gaming state shifts from the "normal state" to the "chance zone".

  Next, in the RT1 state, it is considered that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G9”, that is, the case where “Replay P” and “Replay 6” are double wins.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "clown"-"clown"-"clown" etc.) related to "Replay P" is stopped and displayed on the active line (when "Replay P" is won), the RT state is The state changes from the RT1 state to the RT5 state, and the gaming state changes from the "normal state" to the "simulated bonus". At this time, an ART of 250 games is given.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to “Replay P” can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when “Replay P” is missed), the symbol combination relating to “Replay 6” (eg “Clown”-“Bell” 1)-"Apple 1" etc. is displayed stopped on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT1 state to the RT5 state, and the gaming state shifts from the “normal state” to the “simulated bonus”. At this time, an ART of 250 games is given. That is, in the RT1 state, when winning the replay role of "Replay G9", the gaming state shifts from "normal state" to "simulated bonus" regardless of the displayed replay role, and the ART of 250 games is Granted.

  Next, it is assumed that “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) is won in the RT1 state. In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "Bell 1"-"Bell 1"-"Apple 1", etc.) related to "Special bell missing" is stopped and displayed on the effective line in the RT1 state ("Special bell missing" The "RT" state does not shift, the RT1 state is maintained, and the "normal state" is maintained.

[RT2 state (pseudo bonus high probability state)]
(1) Types of Replay Combinations for Internal Wins First, the types of replay players for internal wins in the RT2 state will be described. As shown in the internal lottery table of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, in the column of the state RT2, the lottery values relating to the replay role are abbreviated as “F_rip G1A”, “F_rip G1B”, “F_rip G2A”, “F_rip” G2B "and" F_rip G7_123 "to" F_rip G7_321 "(the winning numbers" 2 "to" 5 "and" 17 "to" 21 ") are defined in the fields corresponding to them. That is, in the RT2 state, the internal winning combination associated with the replay defined by the small winning combination / replay data pointers “2” to “5” and “17” to “21” becomes the lottery target of the replay combination.

  As shown in the internal lottery tables in FIGS. 22 to 24, “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) which becomes a transition timing of the RT state even in the RT2 state. The lottery value is specified in the column of), and "special bell dropout" is also subject to lottery.

  Replays common to the abbreviations “F_rip G7_123” to “F_rip G7_321” (small part and replay data pointers “17” to “21”) are specified in the internal winning combination determination table of FIGS. 26 to 36. As such, it is a replay role according to “C_RT1 lip 01” to “C_RT1 lip 08” and “C_RT2 lip 01” to “C_RT2 lip 08”.

  In addition, the replay role winning for the abbreviation “F_rip G7_123” (small combination / replay data pointer “17”) is only the above-mentioned common replay role. Under the abbreviation “F_rip G7_132” (small part / replay data pointer “18”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 01” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. Under the abbreviation “F_rip G7_2XX” (small part / replay data pointer “19”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 02” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. Under the abbreviation “F_rip G7_312” (small combination / replay data pointer “20”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 03” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. Then, under the abbreviation “F_rip G7_321” (small combination / replay data pointer “21”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 04” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. That is, among the abbreviations “F_rip G7_123” to “F_rip G7_321”, the types of replay roles according to “maintenance rep” which is won in duplicate other than the common replay role are different.

  Hereinafter, the replay role relating to “C_RT1 lip 01” to “C_RT1 lip 08” is referred to as “replay 5”, and the replay role relating to “C_RT2 lip 01” to “C_RT2 lip 08” is referred to as “replay 3”. Furthermore, in the following, “Replay 3” and “Replay 5”, which are commonly won in common for the abbreviations “F_rip G7_123” to “F_rip G7_321” (small part and replay data pointers “17” to “21”) The group of such replay role is referred to as "replay G7".

  It should be noted that "Replay 3" and "Replay 5" both serve as a transition trigger of the RT state, and when the symbol combination relating to "Replay 3" is displayed, the RT state shifts to the RT2 state. However, when the symbol combination relating to "Replay 3" is displayed in the RT2 state, the RT2 state is maintained. When the symbol combination relating to "Replay 5" is displayed, the RT state shifts to the RT1 state.

(2) Winning Probability of Replay Part Next, the win probability in the RT2 state of the various replay players described above will be described. As described above, in the RT2 state, the replay role included in the replay role group of any of “Replay G1”, “Replay G2” and “Replay G7” is internally won.

  In the present embodiment, “Replay G1” (abbreviated “F_Rip G1A” and “F_Rip G1B”), “Replay G2”, defined in the RT2 state column, as shown in the internal lottery tables in FIGS. The respective lottery values of “abbreviated“ F_rip G2A ”and“ F_rip G2B ”and“ Replay G7 ”(abbreviated“ F_rip G7_123 ”to“ F_rip G7_321 ”) are set to relatively large values. That is, in the RT2 state, any winning probability of "replay G1", "replay G2" and "replay G7" is set to be a high probability.

(3) Transition Operation of RT State and Playing State Next, the transition operation of the RT state with the RT2 state as the transition source will be described. First, in the RT2 state, it is considered that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G1”, that is, the case where the replay roles pertaining to “Replay 1” and “Replay B” are twice won.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" etc.) related to "Replay B" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (when "Replay B" is won), RT The state transitions from the RT2 state to the RT5 state. As a result, the gaming state shifts from the "simulated bonus high probability state" to the "simulated bonus". At this time, an ART of 100 games is given.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to “Replay B” can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when “Replay B” is missed), the symbol combination relating to “Replay 1” (eg “Red 7”-“-”) "Red 7"-"Replay 1" etc. is stopped and displayed on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT2 state to the RT3 state, and the gaming state shifts from the "simulated bonus high probability state" to "between simulated BB flags".

  Next, in the RT2 state, it is considered that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G2”, that is, the case where “Replay 2” and “Replay R” are double wins.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "Red 7"-"Red 7"-"BAR", etc.) related to "Replay R" is stopped and displayed on the active line (when "Replay R" wins), the RT state Transitions from the RT2 state to the RT5 state. As a result, the gaming state shifts from the "simulated bonus high probability state" to the "simulated bonus". At this time, ART of 50 games is given.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to "Replay R" can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when "Replay R" is dropped), the symbol combination relating to "Replay 2" (e.g. "Red 7"-"-") "Red 7"-"Bell 1 etc." is stopped and displayed on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT2 state to the RT4 state, and the gaming state shifts from the "simulated bonus high probability state" to "between simulated RB flags".

  Next, in the RT2 state, it is considered that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G7”, that is, the case where “Replay 3” and “Replay 5” are double wins. In this case, in the present embodiment, the pushing order navigation of the stop button is performed so that the RT state does not shift (fall) to the RT1 state.

  Specifically, in the RT2 state, when winning the replay role of "Replay G7", the symbol combination according to "Replay 3" is stopped and displayed on the effective line (the symbol combination according to "Replay 5" Is performed in order to prevent stop display on the effective line). In this push order navigation, a push order of 5 options is notified. When the player presses the stop button in accordance with the push order navigation, and the symbol combination relating to "Replay 3" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of push order correctness), the RT2 state is maintained. The game state also maintains the "simulated bonus high probability state".

  However, if the player does not follow the push order navigation, and the symbol combination relating to "Replay 3" is not stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of push order incorrect answer), the symbol combination relating to "Replay 5" Is stopped on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT2 state to the RT1 state. That is, the gaming state falls from the "simulated bonus high probability state" to the "normal state".

  Next, consider the case where “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) is won in the RT2 state. In this case, in the RT2 state, pushing order navigation is performed so that the symbol combination relating to the "special bell missing" is not stopped and displayed on the effective line. That is, also in this case, the push order navigation is performed so that the RT state does not shift (fall) to the RT1 state.

  However, if the player presses the stop button without following the push order navigation, and the symbol combination relating to “special bell missing” is stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of push order incorrect solution), RT The state transitions to the RT1 state. That is, the gaming state falls from the "simulated bonus high probability state" to the "normal state".

[RT3 state (between pseudo BB flags)]
(1) Types of Replay Combinations for Internal Wins First, the types of replay players for internal wins in the RT3 state will be described. As shown in the internal lottery table of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, in the column of the state RT3, the lottery value relating to the replay role is specified in the column corresponding to the abbreviation “F_rip G1B” (winning number “3”) . That is, in the RT3 state, the internal winning combination associated with the replay combination (“Replay 1” and “Replay B” included in “Replay G1”) defined by the small part and replay data pointer “3” is the replay combination. It becomes a lottery subject.

  As shown in the internal lottery tables of FIGS. 22 to 24, “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S-bell 1” to “F_right S-bell 4”) which becomes a transition timing of the RT state even in the RT3 state. The lottery value is specified in the column of), and "special bell dropout" is also subject to lottery.

(2) Winning Probability of Replay Part Next, the win probability in the RT3 state of various replay players described above will be described. As described above, in the RT3 state, the replay roles ("Replay 1" and "Replay B") included in the replay role group of "Replay G1" are internally won.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in the internal lottery tables of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, the lottery value of the abbreviation “F_rip G1B” defined in the column of the state RT3 is set to a large value. That is, in the RT3 state, the winning probability of “Replay G1” (abbreviated “F_rip G1B”) is set to be a high probability.

(3) Transition Operation of RT State and Playing State Next, the transition operation of the RT state with the RT3 state as the transition source will be described. First, in the RT3 state, it is assumed that the replay player of “Replay G1” is won, that is, the replay player of “Replay 1” and “Replay B” wins twice.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" etc.) related to "Replay B" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (when "Replay B" is won), RT The state transitions from the RT3 state to the RT5 state. As a result, the gaming state shifts from "simulated BB flag" to "simulated bonus". At this time, an ART of 100 games is given.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to “Replay B” can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when “Replay B” is missed), the symbol combination relating to “Replay 1” (eg “Red 7”-“-”) "Red 7"-"Replay 1" etc. is stopped and displayed on the effective line. In this case, the RT3 state is maintained, and the gaming state is also maintained between "simulated BB flags".

  Next, consider the case where “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) is won in the RT3 state. In this case, in the present embodiment, the pushing order navigation is performed so that the symbol combination relating to the "special bell missing" is not stopped and displayed on the effective line. That is, in the RT3 state, when the “special bell missing” is won, the push order navigation is performed so that the RT state does not shift (fall) to the RT1 state.

  However, if the player presses the stop button without following the push order navigation, and the symbol combination relating to “special bell missing” is stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of push order incorrect solution), RT The state shifts from the RT3 state to the RT1 state. That is, the gaming state falls from "due to simulated BB flag" to "normal state".

[RT4 state (between pseudo RB flags)]
(1) Type of Replay Part Winning Internally First, the type of replay part winning internal in the RT4 state will be described. As shown in the internal lottery table of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, in the column of the state RT4, the lottery value relating to the replay role is specified in the column corresponding to the abbreviation “F_rip G2B” (winning number “5”) . That is, in the RT4 state, the internal winning combination associated with the replay role ("Replay 2" and "Replay R" included in "Replay G2") defined by the small part and replay data pointer "5" is the replay role. It becomes a lottery subject.

  As shown in the internal lottery tables of FIGS. 22 to 24, “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) which becomes a transition timing of the RT state even in the RT4 state. The lottery value is specified in the column of), and "special bell dropout" is also subject to lottery.

(2) Winning Probability of Replay Part Next, the winning probability in the RT4 state of the various replay players described above will be described. As described above, in the RT4 state, the replay roles ("Replay 2" and "Replay R") included in the replay role group of "Replay G2" are internally won.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in the internal lottery tables of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, the lottery value of the abbreviation “F_rip G2B” defined in the column of the state RT4 is set to a large value. That is, in the RT4 state, the winning probability of “Replay G2” (abbreviated “F_rip G2B”) is set to be a high probability.

(3) Transition Operation of RT State and Playing State Next, the transition operation of the RT state with the RT4 state as the transition source will be described. First, in the RT4 state, it is considered that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G2” (abbreviation “F_rip G2B”), that is, the case where “Replay 2” and “Replay R” are double wins.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "red 7"-"red 7"-"BAR", etc.) of the replay role according to "Replay R" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (if "Replay R" is won) , RT state transitions from RT4 state to RT5 state. As a result, the gaming state shifts from "between simulated RB flags" to "simulated bonus". At this time, ART of 50 games is given.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to "Replay R" can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when "Replay R" is dropped), the symbol combination relating to "Replay 2" (e.g. "Red 7"-"-") "Red 7"-"Bell 1 etc." is stopped and displayed on the effective line. In this case, the RT4 state is maintained, and the game state is also maintained between "simulated RB flags".

  Next, consider the case where “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) is won in the RT4 state. In this case, in the present embodiment, the pushing order navigation is performed so that the symbol combination relating to the "special bell missing" is not stopped and displayed on the effective line. That is, in the RT4 state, when the "special bell missing" is won, the push order navigation is performed so that the RT state does not shift (fall) to the RT1 state.

  However, if the player presses the stop button without following the push order navigation, and the symbol combination relating to “special bell missing” is stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of push order incorrect solution), RT The state shifts from the RT4 state to the RT1 state. That is, the gaming state falls from "due to simulated RB flag" to "normal state".

[RT5 status (simulated bonus)]
(1) Type of Replay Part Winning Internally First, the type of replay part winning internal in the RT5 state will be described. As shown in the internal lottery table of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, in the column of the state RT5, the lottery values relating to the replay role are abbreviated as “F_rip 0”, “F_rip G4_L” to “F_rip G4_R”, “F_rip” G6 ”and“ F_rip G9 ”(toward winning numbers“ 1 ”,“ 10 ”to“ 12 ”,“ 16 ”and“ 30 ”) are defined in the fields corresponding to“ G_6 ”and“ F_lip G9 ”. That is, in the RT5 state, the internal winning combination relating to the replay defined by the small part and replay data pointers “1”, “10” to “12”, “16” and “30” is the lottery target of the replay role. Become.

  As shown in the internal lottery tables of FIGS. 22 to 24, “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) which becomes a transition timing of the RT state even in the RT5 state. The lottery value is specified in the column of), and "special bell dropout" is also subject to lottery.

  Replays common to the abbreviations “F_rip G4_L” to “F_rip G4_R” (small part / replay data pointers “10” to “12”) are specified in the internal winning combination determination table of FIGS. As such, it is a replay role according to “C_RT6 Lip 01” to “C_RT6 Lip 16” and “C_Normal Lip 01” to “C_Normal Lip 24”. That is, “Replay 0” (“C_Normal Lip 01” to “C_Normal Lip 24”) and “Replay 4” (“C_RT6 Lip 01”) to “F_ Lip G4_L” to “F_ Lip G4_R” are common. C_RT6 Lip 16 ") wins the duplicate. In the following, a group of replay players relating to “Replay 0” and “Replay 4” that wins the duplicate win is referred to as “Replay G4”.

  Note that the replay player who wins with the abbreviation “F_rip G4_L” (small combination / replay data pointer “10”) is only the above-mentioned common replay player. Under the abbreviation “F_rip G4_C” (small part / replay data pointer “11”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 01” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. Then, under the abbreviation “F_rip G4_R” (small combination / replay data pointer “12”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 02” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. That is, between the abbreviations “F_rip G4_L” to “F_rip G4_R”, the types of replay roles according to “maintenance rep” which is duplicated other than the common replay role are different.

  The replay role corresponding to the abbreviation “F_rip G6” (small part / replay data pointer “16”) is “C_BB Lip 01”, “C_Maintenance Lip 01” to “C_Maintenance Lip 05”, and “C_Normal”. It is a replay role according to Lip 01 "to" C_Normal Lip 24 ". Hereinafter, the replay role relating to “C_Maintenance Lip 01” to “C_Maintenance Lip 05” will be referred to as “Replay 7”.

  That is, "Replay 0", "Replay 7" and "Replay B" are won in duplicate under the abbreviation "F_rip G6" (small part / replay data pointer "16"). However, with regard to "Replay B", only the replay role related to "C_BB Lip 01" in which the symbol combination is "Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Red 7" ("Red 7 set") is won. Also, in the following, a group of replay roles relating to “Replay 0”, “Replay 7”, and “Replay B”, which are the duplicate wins, is referred to as “Replay G6”.

  Note that "Replay 7" is a role displayed when the symbol combination relating to "Replay B" ("C_BB Lip 01") can not be displayed on the active line in the RT5 state, and "Replay 7" is displayed. When such a symbol combination is displayed, the transition of the RT state is not performed.

(2) Winning Probability of Replay Part Next, the win probability in the RT5 state of the various replay players described above will be described. As described above, in the RT5 state, one of “Replay 0” (abbreviated “F_rip 0”), “Replay G4”, “Replay G6” and “Replay G9” (abbreviated “F_rip G9”) is included. The replay player wins the inside.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in the internal lottery tables of FIGS. 22 to 24, the lottery value of the abbreviation “F_lip 0” defined in the column of the state RT5 is set to a large value. That is, in the RT5 state, although not shown in FIG. 67, the winning probability of “Replay 0” (abbreviated “F_rip 0”) is set to be a high probability. Further, the lottery values of the abbreviations “F_rip G4_L” to “F_rip G4_R” defined in the column of the state RT5 are also set to relatively large values. That is, in the state of RT5, the winning probability of "Replay G4" is set to be a high probability.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in the internal lottery tables of FIGS. 22 to 24, the lottery values of the abbreviations “F_rip G6” and “F_rip G9” defined in the column of the state RT5 are “replay G4”. It is set to a value much smaller than that of That is, in the state of RT5, the winning probabilities of "Replay G6" and "Replay G9" are both set to be extremely low.

(3) Transition Operation of RT State and Playing State Next, the transition operation of the RT state with the RT5 state as the transition source will be described. First, consider the case where “Replay 0” is won in the RT5 state.

  In this case, if the symbol combination related to "Replay 0" (for example, "Replay 1"-"Replay 1"-"Replay 1" etc.) is stopped and displayed on the activated line (if "Replay 0" is won), RT5 The state is maintained, and the gaming state also maintains the "simulated bonus".

  Next, in the RT5 state, it is assumed that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G4”, that is, the case where “Replay 0” and “Replay 4” are duplicated, is won.

  In this case, in the present embodiment, the pushing order navigation is performed so that the symbol combination related to "Replay 0" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (the symbol combination related to "Replay 4" is not displayed stopped on the activated line) Is done. That is, push-by-step navigation of the stop button is performed so that the RT state does not shift to the RT6 state. In this push order navigation, a push order of 3 options is informed. When the player presses the stop button in accordance with the push order navigation, and the symbol combination relating to "Replay 0" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of push order correctness), the RT5 state is maintained, The game state also maintains the "simulated bonus".

  However, if the player does not follow the push order navigation and the symbol combination relating to “Replay 0” is not stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of push order incorrect answer), the symbol combination relating to “Replay 4” Is stopped on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT5 state to the RT6 state. That is, the gaming state shifts from "simulated bonus" to "simulated bonus relief state".

  In the present embodiment, in the RT5 state, the push order navigation line is lined so that the symbol combination relating to the “bell” is stopped and displayed on the effective line even when all the minors relating to the “bell” are won It will be.

  Next, in the RT5 state, when a replay role of "Replay G6" is won, that is, a case in which "Replay 0", "Replay 7" and "Replay B" (only "C_BB RIP 01") win a duplicate. Think.

  In this case, when the symbol combination ("Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Red 7") related to "Replay B" (abbreviated "C_BB Lip 01") is stopped and displayed on the effective line ("Replay B" When the player wins), the RT5 state is maintained, and the game state also maintains the "simulated bonus".

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination ("Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Red 7") related to "Replay B" (abbreviated "C_BB Lip 01") could not be stopped and displayed on the effective line ("Replay B" If you miss the symbol), the symbol combination related to "Replay 0" (for example, "Replay 1"-"Replay 1"-"Replay 1" etc.) or the symbol combination related to "Replay 7" (for example "Red 7"- "Red 7"-"Apple 1" etc. are displayed stopped on the effective line. In either case, the RT5 state is maintained, and the game state also maintains the "simulated bonus". That is, when the replay role of “Replay G6” is won in the RT5 state, the “simulated bonus” (RT5 state) is maintained regardless of the type of the replay role displayed.

  Next, in the state of RT5, it is assumed that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G9”, that is, the case where “Replay P” and “Replay 6” are duplicated, is won.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "clown"-"clown"-"clown" etc.) related to "Replay P" is stopped and displayed on the active line (when "Replay P" is won), the RT5 state is The game state is maintained, and the "simulated bonus" is maintained.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to “Replay P” can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when “Replay P” is missed), the symbol combination relating to “Replay 6” (for example, “Apple 1”-“ "Bell 1"-"Apple 1" and the like are stopped and displayed on the activated line (when the replay role according to "Replay 6" is won). In this case, the RT5 state is maintained, and the game state also maintains the "simulated bonus". That is, in the RT5 state, when a replay role of "Replay G9" is won, the "simulated bonus" (RT5 state) is maintained regardless of the type of replay role displayed.

  Next, it is assumed that “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) is won in the RT5 state. In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "Bell 1"-"Bell 1"-"Apple 1", etc.) related to "special bell missing" is stopped and displayed on the effective line in the RT5 state ("special bell missing) The RT state shifts from the RT5 state to the RT1 state). That is, the gaming state falls from the "simulated bonus" to the "normal state".

[RT6 status (simulated bonus relief status)]
(1) Types of Replay Combinations for Internal Wins First, the types of replay players for internal wins in the RT6 state will be described. As shown in the internal lottery table of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, in the column of the state RT6, the lottery value relating to the replay role is abbreviated “F_rip G5_213” to “F_rip G5_XX1” (the winning numbers “13” to “15” It is specified in the column corresponding to). That is, in the RT6 state, the internal winning combination associated with the replay defined by the small winning combination / replay data pointers “13” to “15” becomes the lottery target of the replay combination.

  In addition, as shown in the internal lottery table of FIGS. 22 to 24, “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4” as an RT state transition trigger also in the RT6 state). The lottery value is specified in the column of), and "special bell dropout" is also subject to lottery.

  Replays common to the abbreviations “F_rip G5_213” to “F_rip G5_XX1” (small part and replay data pointers “13” to “15”) are defined in the internal winning combination determination table of FIGS. 26 to 36. As such, it is a replay role according to "C_RT1 Lip 01" to "C_RT1 Lip 08" and "C_RT5 Lip 01" to "C_RT5 Lip 18". That is, “Replay 5” and “Replay 6” are won in common under the abbreviation “F_rip G5_213” to “F_rip G5_XX1”. In the following, a group of replay players relating to "Replay 5" and "Replay 6" which are winnings in duplicate will be referred to as "Replay G5".

  In addition, the replay role winning for the abbreviation “F_rip G5_213” (small combination / replay data pointer “13”) is only the above-mentioned common replay role. Under the abbreviation “F_rip G5_231” (small combination / replay data pointer “14”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 01” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. Then, under the abbreviation “F_rip G5_XX1” (small part / replay data pointer “15”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 02” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. That is, between the abbreviations “F_rip G5_213” to “F_rip G5_XX1”, the types of replay roles according to “maintenance rep” which is duplicated other than the common replay role are different.

(2) Winning Probability of Replay Part Next, the win probability in the RT6 state of the various replay players described above will be described. As described above, in the RT6 state, it is included in either "Replay 5"("C_RT1 Lip 01" to "C_RT5 Lip 08") or "Replay 6"("C_RT5 Lip 01" to "C_RT5 Lip 18"). The replay player wins the inside.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in the internal lottery tables of FIGS. 22 to 24, the lottery values of the abbreviations “F_rip G5_213” to “F_rip G5_XX1” defined in the column of the state RT6 are set to relatively large values. It is done. That is, in the RT6 state, the winning probability of “Replay G5” is set to be high.

(3) Transition Operation of RT State and Playing State Next, the transition operation of the RT state with the RT6 state as the transition source will be described. First, consider the case in which the player plays a replay role "Replay G5" in the RT6 state.

  In this case, when the gaming state is in the ART gaming period (for example, when the gaming state is shifted to the "simulated bonus relief state" of the "simulated bonus" during the ART operation), the "replay 6" is made. A push order navigation is performed so that such a symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the effective line. That is, push-by-step navigation of the stop button is performed so that the RT state does not shift to the RT1 state. In this push order navigation, a push order of 3 options is informed. When the player presses the stop button in accordance with the push order navigation, and the symbol combination relating to "Replay 6" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of push order correctness), the RT state is from the RT6 state. RT5 state transitions. That is, the gaming state shifts from "simulated bonus relief state" to "simulated bonus".

  However, if the player does not follow the push order navigation, and the symbol combination related to "Replay 6" is not stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of incorrect push order), the symbol combination related to "Replay 5" Is stopped on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT6 state to the RT1 state. That is, the gaming state falls from the "simulated bonus relief state" to the "normal state".

  Next, consider the case where “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) is won in the RT6 state. In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "bell 1"-"bell 1"-"apple 1", etc.) related to "special bell missing" is stopped and displayed on the effective line (when "special bell missing" wins) And RT state transitions from RT6 state to RT1 state. That is, the gaming state falls from the "simulated bonus relief state" (ART state) to the "normal state".

[RT7 status (chance zone)]
(1) Type of Replay Part Winning Internally First, the type of replay part winning internal in the RT7 state will be described. As shown in the internal lottery table of FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, in the column of the state of RT7, the lottery values relating to the replay role are abbreviated “F_ Lip G1A”, “F_ Lip G1 B”, “F_ Lip G2 A”, “F_ Lip G2B "," F_rip G3_213 "to" F_rip G3_321 ", and" F_rip G9 "(the winning numbers" 2 "to" 9 "and" 30 ") are defined in the fields corresponding to them. That is, in the state of RT7, the internal winning combination associated with the replay defined by the small winning combination / replay data pointers "2" to "9" and "30" becomes the lottery target of the replay combination.

  In addition, as shown in the internal lottery table of FIGS. 22 to 24, “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S-bell 1” to “F_right S-bell 4”) serving as a transition trigger of the RT state also in the RT7 state. The lottery value is specified in the column of), and "special bell dropout" is also subject to lottery.

  Replays common to the abbreviations “F_rip G3_213” to “F_rip G3_321” (small part and replay data pointers “6” to “9”) are defined in the internal winning combination determination table shown in FIGS. 26 to 36. It is a replay role according to “C_RT1 Lip 01” to “C_RT1 Lip 08”, “C_RT2 Lip 01” to “C_RT2 Lip 08”, and “C_Normal Lip 01” to “C_Normal Lip 24”. That is, “Replay 5”, “Replay 3”, and “Replay 0” are won in common among the abbreviations “F_rip G3_213” to “F_rip G3_321”. In the following, a group of replay roles relating to “Replay 5”, “Replay 3” and “Replay 0”, which are winning in duplicate, will be referred to as “Replay G3”.

  In addition, the replay role winning in the abbreviation “F_rip G3_213” (small combination / replay data pointer “6”) is only the above-mentioned common replay role. In the abbreviation “F_rip G3_231” (small combination / replay data pointer “7”), the replay role according to “C_maintenance lip 01” is won in addition to the common replay role described above. In the abbreviation “F_rip G3_312” (small part / replay data pointer “8”), the replay pertaining to “C_maintenance lip 02” and “C_RT5 lip 01” to “C_RT5 lip 18” other than the common replay role described above The role is won twice. Then, under the abbreviation “F_rip G3_321” (small combination / replay data pointer “9”), the replay combination according to “C_maintenance lip 03” is won in addition to the common replay combination described above. That is, among the abbreviations “F_rip G3_213” to “F_rip G3_321”, the types of replay roles according to “maintenance reps” that mainly win a duplicate other than the common replay role are different.

(2) Winning Probability of Replay Part Next, the win probability in the RT7 state of the various replay players described above will be described. As described above, in the RT7 state, the replay role included in the replay role group of any of “Replay G1”, “Replay G2”, “Replay G3” and “Replay G9” is internally won.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in the internal lottery table of FIGS. 22-24, the winning probability (high probability) of “Replay G3” (abbreviated “F_rip G3_213” to “F_rip G3_321”) is “replay”. It is set to be higher than the winning probability (medium probability) of G1 or “Replay G2” (abbreviated “F_rip G1A”, “F_rip G1B”, “F_rip G2A”, “F_rip G2B”). In the present embodiment, the winning probability (very low probability) of “Replay G9” (abbreviated “F_rip G9”) is “Replay G1” or “Replay G2” (abbreviated “F_rip G1A”, “F_rip G1B”). It is set to be lower than the winning probability (medium probability) of “F_rip G2A” and “F_rip G2B”.

(3) Transition Operation of RT State and Playing State Next, the transition operation of the RT state with the RT7 state as the transition source will be described. First, in the state of RT7, it is assumed that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G1”, that is, the case where the replay roles pertaining to “Replay 1” and “Replay B” are won twice.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" etc.) related to "Replay B" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (when "Replay B" is won), RT The state transitions from the RT7 state to the RT5 state. Thus, the gaming state shifts from the "chance zone" to the "simulated bonus". At this time, an ART of 100 games is given.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to “Replay B” can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when “Replay B” is missed), the symbol combination relating to “Replay 1” (eg “Red 7”-“-”) "Red 7"-"Replay 1" etc. is stopped and displayed on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT7 state to the RT3 state, and the gaming state shifts from the "chance zone" to "between pseudo BB flags".

  Next, in the state of RT7, it is assumed that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G2”, that is, the case where “Replay 2” and “Replay R” are double wins.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "Red 7"-"Red 7"-"BAR", etc.) related to "Replay R" is stopped and displayed on the active line (when "Replay R" wins), the RT state Transitions from the RT7 state to the RT5 state. Thus, the gaming state shifts from the "chance zone" to the "simulated bonus". At this time, ART of 50 games is given.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination relating to "Replay R" can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when "Replay R" is dropped), the symbol combination relating to "Replay 2" (e.g. "Red 7"-"-") "Red 7"-"Bell 1 etc." is stopped and displayed on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT7 state to the RT4 state, and the gaming state also shifts from the "chance zone" to "between pseudo RB flags".

  Next, in the state of RT7, it is assumed that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G3”, that is, the case where “Replay 0”, “Replay 3” and “Replay 5” are won in duplicate.

  In this case, when the stop button is pressed in order, the symbol combination relating to "Replay 0" is stopped and displayed on the activated line, the RT7 state is maintained, and the gaming state is also maintained the "chance zone". On the other hand, when the stop button is irregularly pressed, the push order navigation is performed so that the symbol combination relating to "Replay 3" is stopped and displayed on the effective line. In this push order navigation, a push order of 4 options is notified. That is, push-by-step navigation of the stop button is performed so that the RT state does not shift from the RT7 state to the RT1 state. When the player presses the stop button in accordance with the push order navigation and the symbol combination relating to "Replay 3" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of push order correctness), the RT state is from the RT7 state. RT2 state transitions. That is, the gaming state shifts from the "chance zone" to the "simulated bonus high probability state".

  However, if the player does not follow the push order navigation, and the symbol combination relating to "Replay 3" is not stopped and displayed on the activated line (in the case of push order incorrect answer), the symbol combination relating to "Replay 5" Is stopped on the effective line. In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT7 state to the RT1 state. That is, the gaming state shifts from the "chance zone" to the "normal state".

  Next, in the state of RT7, it is assumed that the case of winning the replay role of “Replay G9”, that is, the case where “Replay P” and “Replay 6” are won twice.

  In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "clown"-"clown"-"clown" etc.) related to "Replay P" is stopped and displayed on the active line (when "Replay P" is won), the RT state is Transition from RT7 state to RT5 state. That is, the gaming state shifts from the "chance zone" to the "simulated bonus". At this time, an ART of 250 games is given.

  On the other hand, when the symbol combination related to "Replay P" can not be stopped and displayed on the effective line (when "Replay P" is missed), the symbol combination related to "Replay P" related to "Replay 6" is combined. (For example, "Apple 1"-"Bell 1"-"Apple 1" etc.) is stopped and displayed on the activated line (the replay role according to "Replay 6" is won). In this case, the RT state shifts from the RT7 state to the RT5 state, and the gaming state shifts from the "chance zone" to the "simulated bonus". At this time, an ART of 250 games is given. That is, in the RT7 state, when winning the replay role of "Replay G9", the gaming state shifts from the "chance zone" to the "simulated bonus" regardless of the displayed replay role.

  Next, consider a case where “special bell missing” (abbreviated “F_left S bell 1” to “F_right S bell 4”) is won in the RT7 state. In this case, when the symbol combination (for example, "bell 1"-"bell 1"-"apple 1", etc.) related to "special bell missing" is stopped and displayed on the effective line (when "special bell missing" wins) And RT state transitions from RT7 state to RT1 state. That is, the gaming state shifts from the "chance zone" to the "normal state".

[Correspondence table of RT state and game state]
FIG. 68 shows the correspondence between the RT state and the gaming state described in the transition flow of the RT state in FIG. In the correspondence table shown in FIG. 68, a circle is written in the RT state column corresponding to each gaming state.

  It should be noted that "general gaming state" in FIG. 68 means "initial state" and "normal state", so in FIG. 68, a 印 mark is described in the RT0 state and the RT1 state. The "ART state" in FIG. 68 is a meaning including the "simulated bonus" of the RT5 state and the "simulated bonus rescue state" of the RT6 state, so in FIG. 68, a circle is described in the RT5 state and the RT6 state. There is.

  Also, “ART end state (AT non-operation state)” in FIG. 68 refers to a game state in which the ART game (AT function) is ended and only the high RT function (RT5 or RT6 state) is operating. Indicates Therefore, in the “ART end state (AT non-operating state)” in FIG. 68, a ○ mark is described in the RT5 state and the RT6 state.

<Replay continuous winning (activation) count function>
[Overview of Replay Continuous Prize Counting Function]
The pachislot 1 of the present embodiment has a function of counting the number of consecutive replay wins in the "normal game state". And in this embodiment, if the replay player wins (acts) a predetermined number of times consecutively, the probability of transition to the “pseudo-bonus” (ART state) becomes high “the pseudo-bonus high probability state” (RT2 state) Perform navigation to shift the game state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the “normal game state”, when the replay combination is winning a predetermined number of times (operation) continuously, the transition to the “ART state” is substantially determined.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, in the “normal game state”, the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination is counted by the replay counter. In addition, the replay role counted here is a replay role included in the replay role group of “Replay G1”, “Replay G2”, “Replay G3”, “Replay G8” and “Replay G9”. Next, with reference to the AT lottery table for shifting the RT state to the RT2 state, it is determined whether the AT is to be activated based on the value of the replay counter. Then, when winning this AT lottery, the transition navigation to the RT2 state (AT) is activated, it is possible to transition the gaming state from the "normal gaming state" to the "pseudo bonus high probability state". As a result, the probability of transition to the “pseudo bonus” becomes high.

  In the present embodiment, when the value of the replay counter (the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination) reaches a predetermined number, the transition navigation to the RT2 state (AT) is won with a probability of 100%. The lottery value of the lottery table is set. Further, in this embodiment, three types of modes having different probabilities of winning the AT lottery performed at the time of the above-described consecutive replay winning are prepared. Specifically, three types of modes, “normal mode”, “high probability mode” and “super high probability mode”, are prepared. And, in the present embodiment, a predetermined mode is selected (set) by lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the AT lottery process at the time of consecutive replays and management of the value of the replay counter (the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination) are performed by the sub control circuit 42 as described later. Therefore, various table data and replay counter, which will be described later, which are necessary for the AT lottery process at the time of continuous replay, are provided in the sub control circuit 42. Also, the value of the replay counter is cleared when the RT state is a state other than the RT0 state, the RT1 state, and the RT7 state.

[Mode lottery table]
Next, the mode lottery table used in the mode lottery process will be described with reference to FIGS. 69 and 70. FIG. 69. FIG. 69 shows the mode in which the relationship between each mode ("normal mode", "high probability mode" and "super high probability mode") and the corresponding lottery value is defined for each setting (setting 1 to setting 6). It is a lottery table, and FIG. 70 is a table showing lottery values defined in FIG. 69 by winning probability (in%). What is actually stored in sub ROM 82 of sub control circuit 42 is a mode lottery table shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 69 and 70, in the mode lottery table of the present embodiment, the lottery value is set so that the “very high probability mode” is easily won when the setting value (1 to 6) becomes large. ing.

[Overview of mode lottery processing]
In the mode lottery process using the mode lottery table of FIG. 69, first, random number values extracted from a predetermined numerical value range (0 to 127 in the present embodiment) are defined corresponding to each mode. Subtract with the lottery value. Next, it is determined whether the result of subtraction has become negative (whether so-called “worried” has occurred). Then, if the result of subtraction becomes negative in a predetermined mode (a "digit" occurs), that mode is won.

  In this embodiment, the mode lottery process is performed when the gaming state shifts to the “simulated bonus” (ART state). Then, the information regarding the type of (decided) mode determined at this time changes the gaming state to the “simulated bonus” (ART state) again after the end of the ART (after the transition to the “normal gaming state”) Is held up.

  The timing of the mode lottery process (transition trigger) is not limited to this example, and is performed, for example, at the end of the “pseudo bonus” (ART state) (when the sub control circuit 42 receives the pseudo bonus end command). May be Also, the termination trigger of the mode once held is not limited to this example. For example, after the “simulated bonus” (ART state) ends, the time when a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games) have passed may be used as an end trigger (transition trigger) of the mode. In this case, the mode may be set to the “normal mode” regardless of the current mode without performing the mode lottery.

[Replay continuous winning combination AT lottery table]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 71 and 72, a replay continuous winning AT lottery table used in AT lottery processing at the time of replay continuous winning (operation) will be described. In the replay continuous winning AT lottery table of FIG. 71, the relationship between each value (“2” to “5”) of the replay counter and the lottery value of the transition navigation winning to the RT2 state is defined for each mode. There is. Further, FIG. 72 is a table showing lottery values defined in FIG. 71 by winning probability (in%). What is actually stored in the sub ROM 82 of the sub control circuit 42 is a replay continuous winning AT random determination table shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 71 and 72, in the replay continuous winning AT lottery table of the present embodiment, the lottery value increases as the value of the replay counter increases (the probability of winning of the transition navigation to the RT2 state increases). . Then, in the “normal mode” and the “high probability mode”, when the value of the replay counter is “5” (when the replay combination is activated five times consecutively), the winning probability of transition navigation to the RT2 state is 100. %become. Further, in the "very high probability mode", when the value of the replay counter is "4" (when the replay combination is activated four times consecutively), the winning probability of the transition navigation to the RT2 state is 100%.

  That is, in the present embodiment, in the case of the "normal mode" or the "high probability mode", when the replay combination is operated five consecutive times in the "normal game state", the ART grant is substantially determined. . Further, when the mode is the "very high probability mode" and the replay combination is operated four consecutive times in the "normal game state", the grant of the ART is substantially determined.

[Outline of AT lottery processing at the time of replay continuous winning]
In this embodiment, in the AT lottery process using the replay continuous winning AT lottery table of FIG. 71, first, random number values extracted from a predetermined numerical range (0 to 255 in this embodiment) are A subtraction value defined corresponding to the current mode and the value of the replay counter is subtracted. Next, it is determined whether the result of subtraction has become negative (whether so-called “worried” has occurred). And when the result of subtraction becomes negative ("it is generated"), it means that the transition navigation to the RT2 state is won.

  In the present embodiment, the above-mentioned AT lottery processing at the time of replay continuous winning is performed in the below-mentioned processing during normal gaming state (see FIG. 117 described later) under the control of the sub CPU 81, but the present invention is limited thereto I will not. For example, the main control circuit 41 may perform the above-described AT lottery processing at the time of continuous replay winning and the management of the value of the replay counter (the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination). A specific process in this case will be described in a modification 4 to be described later.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the “normal game state”, when the replay combination is won (activated) a predetermined number of times continuously, an example in which the game state is shifted to the “pseudo bonus high probability state” (RT2 state) is described However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, in the "normal game state", when the replay combination is consecutively won a predetermined number of times, the navigation is made to shift the game state from the "normal game state" directly to the "ART state" (RT5 or RT6 state) May be Then, when the gaming state shifts to the "ART state", a predetermined symbol combination (for example, "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7") is specified in the reel acceleration process at the start of ART gaming. The reel effect may be displayed on a line (for example, a center line) of In this case, the game state may be shifted to the "ART state" (RT5 or RT6 state) by displaying a symbol combination different from the predetermined symbol combination (for example, red seven sets) by navigation.

<Additional ART game number lottery>
In the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the game of “simulated bonus” (RT5 state), the number of ART games is additionally lottery. Since this process is controlled by the main control circuit 41 (main CPU 51), various tables, various control flags, various control counters, various control data necessary for this process are stored in the main ROM 52, the main RAM 53, etc. .

[Content of addition lottery]
In the present embodiment, when the specific combination is won during the “pseudo-bonus”, the number of ART games is additionally lottery. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the small winning combination according to the "bell" (small combination / replay data pointer "31" to "39" in the internal lottery table shown in FIG. 22 to FIG. 24 ("F_bell ALL" If the winning combination corresponding to “F_Medium bell 1” to “F_Medium bell 4” and “F_right bell 1” to “F_right bell 4”) is won, the additional lottery is performed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 73, the additional lottery table (additional lottery setting changing means) of the number of ART games will be described. The additional lottery table indicates the correspondence between the value of “addition occurrence flag and type” (“0” to “11”) corresponding to the number of additional games and the corresponding lottery value.

  In the present embodiment, in the case of winning the extra lottery during the “simulated bonus”, the number of winning additional games (the value of the bonus occurrence flag and type) is won in the reel acceleration process executed at the start of the next unit game. Based on the predetermined reel effect (reel action effect and symbol display effect) is performed. That is, when the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “2” or more (when the number of ART game additions is determined), the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is set to the acceleration processing of the next unit game. Based on the predetermined reel effect is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “0” or “1”, the additional lottery is not won, and in this case, the addition of the ART game number is It does not happen. However, when the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “0”, not only the addition of the number of ART games but also the reel effect is not performed, but the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “1”. At the start of the next unit game, a different reel effect (Sorry effect: Reel action effect only) is performed different from when winning the extra lottery.

  Furthermore, in the extra-lot lottery table of the present embodiment, as in the lottery value change table in the RT1 state shown in FIG. Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 73, when the addition occurrence flag and type is “2” or more, the setting numerical value (1 to 6) increases and the lottery value also linearly increases. Set to Specifically, in this example, the additional lottery table is set such that the lottery value is increased by 20 when the setting value is increased by one.

  That is, in the present embodiment, when the set numerical value (1 to 6) increases, the winning probability (the occurrence frequency of the reel effect) of the additional lottery in the “simulated bonus” increases. In the present embodiment, the setting in the lottery value change table in the RT1 state shown in FIG. 25 is linked to the setting in the additional lottery table. Therefore, by changing the setting, it is possible to change the probability that the specific symbol of the left reel 3L constituting the main display combination that becomes the transition trigger to the "simulated bonus" is displayed, and the number of ART games added The winning probability of the lottery can be changed. In this case, it is possible to predict the current setting by grasping the frequency at which the specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the left reel 3L at the start of the game of the “simulated bonus”.

  In this embodiment, an example has been described in which the lottery value of the additional occurrence flag and type “2” or more is linearly increased with respect to the increase of the setting value (1 to 6) in the additional lottery table. The present invention is not limited to this. If the total value of the additional occurrence flag and the total of the lottery value of type “2” is set to increase for the increase of the setting value (1 to 6), the additional occurrence flag and type “2” or more The lottery value at each value of can be set arbitrarily.

  In the addition lottery process of the number of ART games using the addition lottery table of FIG. 73, first, random number values extracted from a predetermined numerical value range (0 to 65535 in the present embodiment) Subtract sequentially with the lottery value specified for each value of. Next, it is determined whether the result of subtraction has become negative (whether so-called “worried” has occurred). Then, when the subtraction result becomes negative ("a digit" is generated), the addition occurrence flag and type (number of addition games) at that time is won. The above-described additional lottery process is performed in the below-described RT game number process (see FIG. 109 described later).

<Continuous lottery of ART>
In the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming state shifts to the “simulated bonus” (RT5 state), the continuous lottery of the “simulated bonus” (ART) is performed. Since this process is controlled by the main control circuit 41 (main CPU 51), various tables, various control flags, various control counters, various control data necessary for this process are stored in the main ROM 52, the main RAM 53, etc. .

[Contents of ART continuous lottery]
In the present embodiment, the symbol combination “Replay B”, “Replay R”, “Replay P” or “Replay 6” is stopped and displayed on the active line, and the RT state is shifted to the RT5 state (“pseudo bonus”). At the same time, perform a continuous lottery of ART ("simulated bonus").

  Here, the ART continuous lottery table used in ART continuous lottery will be described with reference to FIG. The ART continuous lottery table shows the correspondence between the value ("0" to "5") of the "ART continuous occurrence flag and counter" corresponding to the number of continued sets (the number of continuous stocks) of "pseudo bonus" and the lottery value. Show.

  As shown in FIG. 74, in the present embodiment, when ART continuation occurrence flag and counter of “1” or more are acquired by ART continuation lottery, it means that ART continuation is won. For example, when the ART continuation occurrence flag and counter “3” is acquired, three sets of “false bonus” games are continued (one set is 100 games).

  In the ART lottery process using the ART continuous lottery table of FIG. 74, first, a random number value extracted from a predetermined numerical range (0 to 255 in this embodiment) is the value of the ART continuous occurrence flag and counter Subtract sequentially with the lottery value defined for each. Next, it is determined whether the result of subtraction has become negative (whether so-called “worried” has occurred). Then, if the subtraction result becomes negative ("a digit" occurs), the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag and counter (the number of continuing stocks) at that time is won. The above-described ART continuous lottery processing is performed in the later-described winning search processing (see FIG. 107 described later).

  In the present embodiment, an example in which one kind of setting of the lottery value of the ART continuous lottery table is provided has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. A plurality of sets of lottery values of the ART continuous lottery table may be provided.

<Basic configuration of reel effect>
[Overview of Reel production]
In the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, in a predetermined unit game in the "simulated bonus" (RT5 state) or the "simulated bonus rescue state" (RT6 state), the reels are accelerated during the acceleration process performed at the start of the game. Various reel effects are performed by controlling the operation. Here, configurations of a reel effect pattern commonly used in various reel effects, various excitation pattern data of reels used in each reel effect pattern, and the like will be described. The operation of various reel effects described below is controlled by the main CPU 51, and various tables, various control flags, various control counters, various control data, etc., described later necessary for the control are stored in the main ROM 52 and the main RAM 53. Ru.

  Note that the period of the acceleration processing of the reel is a period in which the player can not perform a game operation (substantially equivalent to the lock state). Therefore, since it is not necessary to separately perform lock processing in the reel effect performed during the acceleration processing period, the amount of data necessary for the reel effect can be reduced, and the processing can be simplified.

  The reel effect performed in the present embodiment is configured of a reel action effect and a symbol display effect. The reel action effect is mainly an effect of vibrating the reel, and the symbol display effect is, for example, a specific symbol combination corresponding to the transition process of the gaming state (for example, “Red 7 Match” described later, “RB” It is an effect of displaying "match" and "clown match" symbol combinations on a predetermined line. And in this embodiment, the reel effect which performs the symbol display effect after the reel action effect (the "superimposed effect" described later, the "clown dropout effect", the "simulated bonus prize masquerade effect" and the "continuation determined effect"), and the reel There are prepared two types of reel effect forms of the reel effect ("sorry effect" described later) for performing only the action effect.

[Reel effect stop symbol position table and description of effect pattern type]
Here, various reel effect patterns prepared in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the reel effect stop symbol position table shown in FIG. Reel effect stop symbol position table, the type of reel effect pattern (effect pattern type "0" to "7") and each reel at the time of the reel effect (pattern display effect) to be performed corresponding to each effect pattern type The correspondence with the symbol stop position (the position on the effective line) is shown. The numerical value of the symbol stop position of each reel corresponds to the value of the symbol position defined by the symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the contents of the effect pattern defined in the additional effect line lottery table will be described.

  “Sorry effect” corresponding to the effect pattern type “0” is, for example, a reel effect performed when the addition occurrence flag / type “1” is acquired by the addition lottery (when the number of addition games is 0). In "sorry production", only the reel action production is performed, and the symbol display production is not performed. Therefore, in the reel effect stop symbol position table, the stop symbol position of each reel is not defined in the column of effect pattern type “0”.

  The "center line red 7 all right" corresponding to the effect pattern type "1" is "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" ("red 7 all right") on the center line after the reel action stage It is a reel effect that performs symbol display effects for displaying symbol combinations (combinations of special symbols).

  The “top line red 7 all” effect corresponding to the effect pattern type “2” is the top line (the upper area of the left reel 3L, the upper area of the middle reel 3C, and the upper area of the right reel 3R) after the reel action effect It is a reel effect that performs a symbol display effect to display symbol combinations of "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" (combination of special symbols) on the connecting line).

  The “Bottom Line Red 7 Match” effect corresponding to the effect pattern type “3” is the bottom line (the lower area of the left reel 3L, the lower area of the middle reel 3C, and the lower area of the right reel 3R after the reel action effect. It is a reel effect that performs a symbol display effect to display symbol combinations of "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" (combination of special symbols) on the connecting line).

  “Cross-up line red 7 all the time” corresponding to the effect pattern type “4”, after the reel action effect, the cross-up line (lower area of left reel 3L, middle area of middle reel 3C, and upper stage of right reel 3R It is a reel effect that performs symbol display effect to display symbol combinations (combination of special symbols) of "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" on a line connecting regions.

  "Cross down line red 7 all right" effect corresponding to effect pattern type "5", after the reel action effect, cross down line (upper stage area of left reel 3L, middle stage area of middle reel 3C, and lower stage of right reel 3R It is a reel effect that performs symbol display effect to display symbol combinations (combination of special symbols) of "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" on a line connecting regions.

  The "center line clown perfect" effect corresponding to the directing pattern type "6" is a symbol combination (special "clown"-"clown"-"clown perfect" ("clown perfect") on the center line after producing the reel action. It is a reel effect that performs a symbol display effect of displaying a combination of symbols).

  And the "center line RB match" effect corresponding to the effect pattern type "7" is a symbol of "red 7"-"red 7"-"BAR" ("RB match") on the center line after the reel action effect It is a reel effect that performs a symbol display effect for displaying a combination (a combination of special symbols).

[Reel action production]
Next, the contents of the operation (rotation operation) of the reel action performed at the time of the reel action presentation will be described. In the present embodiment, three types of patterns (reel action pattern 0, reel action pattern 1 and reel action pattern 2) are prepared as reel action patterns.

  The reel action pattern 0 is a reel action pattern which is selected when the reel action effect is not performed. In this case, the reel effect is not performed, and normal acceleration processing is performed.

  The reel action pattern 1 is a reel action pattern to be performed when the “sorry effect” corresponding to the effect pattern type “0” is selected. In the reel action pattern 1, after the respective reels are vibrated, the reel effect is ended.

  The reel action pattern 2 is a reel action pattern that is performed when one of the effect pattern types “1” to “7” is selected. In the reel action pattern 2, after the vibration operation, reverse rotation operation and forward rotation operation of the reel are performed in this order, the symbol combination corresponding to the effect pattern type (for example, "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" ) Is displayed on the predetermined line, and the reel effect is ended.

  Hereinafter, various tables used to control the reel action effect will be described. The various tables described below are referred to in the game start effect control process shown in FIG. 91 described later.

[Reel action pattern table]
The reel action pattern table will be described with reference to FIG. In the reel action pattern table, reel control flag data for identifying the type of the above-described reel action pattern is defined. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 76, reel control flag data “0”, “1” and “2” are associated with reel action pattern 0, reel action pattern 1 and reel action pattern 2, respectively.

[Reel action data selection table]
Next, the reel action data selection table will be described with reference to FIG. The reel effect data selection table indicates the correspondence between the value (number) of the reel action pattern and the reel action data selection index for specifying the reel action operation to be executed. For example, when the value of the reel action pattern is “2”, the reel action data corresponding to the reel action data selection index “RESEL_SR” is selected.

  Also, for example, when the value of the reel action pattern is “0”, the reel action data corresponding to the reel action data selection index “RESEL_AC” is selected. When the value of the reel action pattern is “0”, as described above, no reel effect is performed, and normal acceleration processing is performed. Therefore, the reel action data corresponding to the reel effect data selection index “RESEL_AC” is It is data used in normal acceleration processing.

  The reel action data selection table of FIG. 77 also shows the relationship between the value of each reel action pattern and the time taken for the corresponding reel action presentation process. The time taken for the reel action presentation process is calculated by timer value × 1.1172 msec used for the reel action pattern.

[Reel action code determination table]
Next, the reel action code determination table will be described with reference to FIG. The reel action code determination table includes reel action codes (sub execution data) that constitute each reel action data selection index shown in FIG. 77 and a reel action presentation execution code (execution data) corresponding to the reel action data selection index. 7 shows the correspondence with the reel action code index for specifying.

  Here, the specified contents of the data in the reel action code determination table will be described in more detail by taking, for example, the case where the reel action data selection index is “RESEL_SR” (when the reel action pattern 2 is selected).

  When the reel action data selection index is "RESEL_SR", as shown in FIG. 78, in the column of the reel action code index, "REDAT_RVB", "REDAT_W15", "REDAT_RUP", "REDAT_RAC" and "end code" from the top A reel action code index called “.” Is defined in this order. This is the reel action code defined in “REDAT_RVB”, the reel action code defined in “REDAT_W15”, and the reel action code defined in “REDAT_RUP” when “RESEL_SR” is selected as the reel action data selection index. This means that the reel action code defined in “REDAT_RAC” and the reel action code defined in “end code” are executed in this order.

[Reel action code table]
Next, the reel action code table will be described with reference to FIG. The reel action code table shows the correspondence between each reel action code index shown in FIG. 78 and the information related to the content of the corresponding reel action presentation.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of excitation signal patterns (excitation data) of the motor relating to the acceleration condition and rotation direction of the reel at the time of the reel action presentation are provided, and combinations of excitation signal patterns different in the number of times and types of execution of each excitation signal pattern. By changing, enables various reel action rendition. Therefore, in the reel action code table shown in FIG. 79, the address of excitation data ("MGDAT_AP", "MGDAT_RM16", "MGDAT_VIBR", etc.) which is information specifying excitation data as information on the contents of the reel action presentation, and , And defines the number of effects data of each excitation data.

  As the effect frequency data, the number of executions of the corresponding excitation data, and information indicating whether or not an end code (operation end information) is included after the excitation data has been executed a prescribed number of times are defined. When a plurality of excitation data addresses are defined for one reel action code index, the excitation data (reel action code) of the excitation data address described at the top in the table shown in FIG. Is sequentially executed from the rendering operation by.

  For example, in the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action code index "REDAT_RVB", first, the excitation operation (reel action code) of "MGDAT_W1ST" is executed once, and then the excitation operation of "MGDAT_W5FR" is executed eight times. Next, the excitation operation of “MGDAT_VIBR” is performed 20 times. Then, after the excitation operation of “MGDAT_W5FR” is performed eight times, the reel action presentation corresponding to the reel action data index “REDAT_RVB” is ended.

[Excitation data table]
Next, the excitation data table will be described with reference to FIG. The excitation data table shows the correspondence between each excitation data address defined in FIG. 79 and various information related to the content of the corresponding excitation data (excitation operation).

  In the present embodiment, excitation direction (reel rotation direction) data, excitation timer value (number of times of interrupt processing), and presence or absence of an end code are defined as information related to the contents of excitation data. Further, in the case where information regarding the contents of a plurality of excitation data (excitation operation) is defined in the excitation data address, the excitation data described in the top of the table shown in FIG. 80 is sequentially executed.

  For example, in the reel excitation operation (normal acceleration processing operation) at the excitation data address "MGDAT_AP", first, the reel is rotated in the forward direction (arrow A direction in FIG. 6) during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value "6". Perform the action to make Next, an operation of rotating the reel in the forward direction is performed once during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “5”. Next, an operation of rotating the reel in the forward direction is performed once during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “4”. Next, the operation of rotating the reel in the forward direction is repeated three times during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “3”. Next, an operation of rotating the reel in the forward direction is performed once during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “2”. Next, the operation of rotating the reel in the forward direction is repeated twice during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “3”. Next, the operation of rotating the reel in the forward direction is repeated twice during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “2”. Next, an operation of rotating the reel in the forward direction is performed once during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “3”. Next, the operation of rotating the reel in the forward direction is repeated three times during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “2”. Then, finally, an operation of rotating the reel in the forward direction is performed once during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “3”. The period corresponding to the excitation timer value “1” corresponds to the period of one interrupt process, and is 1.1172 msec in this embodiment.

  Also, for example, in the excitation operation of the reel of the excitation data address “MGDAT_VIBR”, first, the reel is rotated in the forward direction during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “24”. Next, the reel is rotated in the reverse direction (the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 6) during a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “24”. Furthermore, for example, in the excitation operation of the reel of the excitation data address “MGDAT_RM16”, the operation of rotating the reel in the reverse direction is repeated eight times in a period corresponding to the excitation timer value “10”.

[One example of basic operation of reel production]
Here, with reference to FIG. 81, an example of the basic operation flow of the reel effect will be described. The operation example of the reel effect shown in FIG. 81 is an operation example of the reel effect (“addition effect” described later) performed when winning the ART game number addition lottery during “pseudo-bonus”, and the effect pattern It is an operation example of a reel effect in the case where the type is “1” (“center line red 7 uniform”).

  In the reel effect ("superimposed effect") shown in FIG. 81, after the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 ("RESEL_SR") is performed, "red 7"-"red 7"-"-" on the center line. A symbol display effect is performed to display the symbol combination of "red 7". Therefore, in the reel effect in this case, when the player operates the start lever and the unit game (acceleration processing) is started, the reel first stops for a predetermined time ("MGDAT_W1ST" and "MGDAT_W5FR"). Next, a vibration operation of the reel is performed (MGDAT_VIBR). Next, the reels stop for a predetermined time ("MGDAT_W5FR").

  Thereafter, the reel is reversely rotated (REDAT_RUP). Next, the reel is rotated forward (REDAT_RAC). Thereby, the reel action presentation corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 ("RESEL_SR") is completed.

  After the reel action effect is finished, a constant velocity process for reel effect (MGDAT_AP) is performed. Then, after the reel effect constant speed processing, the symbol display effect is performed.

  In the symbol display effect of "center line red 7 aligned", first, the symbol "red 7" is stopped (held) on the center line on the left reel 3L. In this stop operation, a reel action corresponding to “RESEL_DC” in the reel action determination table of FIG. 78 is performed. Specifically, the reverse rotation operation, the relaxation operation, and the forward rotation operation are performed in this order on the left reel 3L (the operation defined by "MGDAT_DP" in the excitation data table of FIG. 80). Control so that the symbol "Red 7" appears to stop.

  Next, in the middle reel 3C, the symbol "red 7" is stopped (held) on the center line. Then, the symbol "red 7" is stopped (held) on the center line on the right reel 3R. The respective stop operations of the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R are also executed by the reel action corresponding to "RESEL_DC", similarly to the stop operation of the left reel 3L. Then, the operation of all the reels is maintained (the signal is continuously sent to the same excitation phase). Thus, the symbol display effect ends.

  In addition, in the “addition effect”, as described later, there are cases where the reel effect is performed a plurality of times depending on the number of added games won by the addition lottery (value of the addition occurrence flag and type). In this case, after the end of the symbol display effect, it returns to the operation of the reel action effect again. Further, as described later, in the “addition effect”, the reel effect corresponding to the effect pattern type “0” is finally obtained regardless of the number of added games won in the addition lottery (value of the addition occurrence flag and type). ("Sorry production") is executed and the reel production ends. Note that FIG. 81 also shows the flow of the random acceleration process of the reels performed after the “addition effect”, but the random acceleration process will be described in detail later.

<Various reel effects>
In the present embodiment, when any of the following conditions (1) to (4) is satisfied, a predetermined time is set at the start (acceleration process) of the next unit game of the unit game (game) satisfying the conditions. Perform reel production.
(1) In the case of winning the ART game number addition lottery during "simulated bonus" (2) The part of winning number "30" (abbreviated "F_ Lip G9") is won, and "clown match" symbol combination If you can not see stop on the effective line (when the clown is dropped)
(3) After the gaming state falls from "simulated BB flag" or "simulated RB flag" (special game preparation state) to "normal state", the gaming state is "pseudo bonus relief state" (ART state) due to the remedial measure. (4) In the case of winning the ART continuation lottery carried out when the gaming state shifts to the "pseudo-bonus"

  In the following, the reel effects performed in the above cases (1) to (4) will be referred to as "superior effect", "clown dropout effect", "simulated bonus prize masquerade effect" and "continual decision effect", respectively.

[Superior production]
The "superimposed effect" is a reel effect performed when winning the added lottery of the number of ART games during the "simulated bonus". The contents of the "superimposed effect" are determined based on the value of the additional occurrence flag and type (number of additional games) won by the additional lottery. Specifically, the values (“0” to “6”) of the effect pattern type described in FIG. 75 are determined by lottery based on the values (“1” to “11”) of the additional occurrence flag and type. . Then, in the "superimposed effect", a reel effect corresponding to the value of the determined effect pattern type is performed.

  When the addition occurrence flag and type “0” are acquired by the addition lottery (when the addition lottery is not won), as shown in FIG. 73, the reel effect is not performed. Further, in the present embodiment, in the “superimposed effect”, the reel effect corresponding to the effect pattern type “7” (“matching of center lines RB”) is not performed.

  Furthermore, in the "superimposition effect", the number of times of the reel effect implemented in one acceleration processing period is not limited to one, and can be implemented a plurality of times. In this case, the number of reel effects is the value of the additional occurrence flag and type (“1” to “11”) acquired by the additional lottery and the subtraction value of the additional occurrence flag and type described later corresponding to the effect pattern type It is determined based on “0” to “5”).

  Hereinafter, various tables used to control the content of the “superimposed effect” and an operation example of the “superimposed effect” will be described. In addition, since the operation of the “overlay effect” is controlled by the main control circuit 41, various tables described below are stored in the main ROM 52.

(1) Overwriting Effect Line Lottery Table First, the additional effect line lottery table (rendering pattern determination means) will be described with reference to FIG. The additional effect line lottery table defines the lottery value of each effect pattern type (contents of reel effect) set for each value (“1” to “11”) of the additional occurrence flag and type acquired by the additional lottery. Do.

  In "superimposed effect", the type of symbol combination and the type of display line to be displayed at the time of symbol display effect are determined based on the value of the effect pattern type. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 82, as a type of display symbols in the "superimposed effect", a symbol combination of "red 7 aligned" ("red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7") Alternatively, prepare a combination of “clown matching” (“clown”-“clown”-“clown”). Also, as the display line, prepare a center line, a top line, a bottom line, a cross-up line and a cross-down line for the symbol combination of "7 items in red", and for the symbol combination in "clown items" Prepare only the center line.

  In the lottery process of the effect pattern type using the additional effect line lottery table of FIG. 82, first, random value values extracted from a predetermined numerical range (0 to 255 in the present embodiment) The lottery value of the effect pattern type set for each value of the type is sequentially subtracted. Next, it is determined whether the result of subtraction has become negative (whether so-called “worried” has occurred). Then, when the subtraction result becomes negative ("a digit" occurs), the value of the effect pattern type at that time is won. The lottery process is performed in the after-mentioned effect presentation stop position determination process (see FIG. 93 described later).

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 82, a lottery value is specified only for the effect pattern type “0” in the column of the additional occurrence flag / type “1”, and the value is “256”. Therefore, when the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “1”, the effect pattern type “0” is always won, and “Sorry effect” (reel action effect only) is performed.

  In the additional effect line lottery table shown in FIG. 82, the lottery value of effect pattern type “1” is defined when the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “3” or more, and the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is Only in the case of “3” or more, the reel effect corresponding to the effect pattern type “1” is won. Further, the lottery values of the effect pattern types “2” to “5” are defined when the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is “2” or more, and the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is “2” or more Only in the case, reel effects corresponding to these effect pattern types are won.

  Furthermore, in the additional effect line lottery table shown in FIG. 82, the lottery value of effect pattern type “6” is defined when the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “7” or more, and the additional occurrence flag and type is Only when the value is “7” or more, the reel effect corresponding to the effect pattern type “6” is won. In the present embodiment, when the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is “2” or more, the additional effect line lottery table is not to win the reel effect (“sorry effect”) corresponding to the effect pattern type “0”. It is set.

(2) Overwriting Occurrence Flag / Classification Data Subtraction Value Table Next, with reference to FIG. 83, the superposition occurrence flag / classification data subtraction value table will be described. The addition occurrence flag / classification data subtraction value table is used when determining control data (a subtraction value of addition occurrence flag / classification subtraction) for controlling the number of reel effects performed in the “addition presentation”.

  The addition occurrence flag and type data subtraction value table includes each effect pattern type (reel effect contents) and a corresponding subtraction value (one of “0”, “1”, “2” and “5”). Define the correspondence relationship. Note that the value of “corresponding subtraction game number” described in the addition occurrence flag / type data subtraction value table is a value obtained by converting the subtraction value into the number of games. Specifically, the value of “corresponding subtraction game number” is an addition occurrence flag before addition (before update) and a addition occurrence flag corresponding to after classification (after update) addition occurrence flag and addition corresponding to addition addition flag and type Corresponds to the value obtained by subtracting the number of games.

  In addition, as shown in an example of a reel effect operation described later, in the “superimposed effect”, a reel effect corresponding to the effect pattern type “0” is finally obtained regardless of the value of the additive occurrence flag and type as well, as described later. “) Is executed to end the reel effect. Therefore, the subtraction value of the addition occurrence flag / classification data subtraction value table and the lottery value of the addition effect line lottery table are appropriately set such that such reel effects are possible.

(3) Operation Overview of Overwriting Effect Next, an operation overview of the "overward effect" will be described. In "superimposition effect", first, a reel effect (first reel effect) corresponding to the value of the effect pattern type determined based on the value (initial value) of the additional occurrence flag and type acquired by the additional lottery is performed . Subsequently, the subtraction value corresponding to the content (effect pattern type) of the first reel effect is subtracted from the initial value of the addition occurrence flag / type to update the value of the addition occurrence flag / type.

  Next, the effect pattern type is determined again by lottery based on the value of the updated occurrence occurrence flag and type after the update. Subsequently, a reel effect (second reel effect) corresponding to the value of the effect pattern type determined again is performed. After that, the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is updated to “1”, and the processing for updating the additional occurrence flag and type (subtraction process) until the reel effect (“disappointment effect”) of the effect pattern type “0” is performed, Repeat the reel effect processing based on the value of the updated occurrence occurrence flag and type.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the value (initial value) of the additional occurrence flag and type acquired by the additional lottery is “1”, only “sorry effect” in the “addition effect” (only the reel action effect) ) Is done. However, when the value (initial value) of the additional occurrence flag and type acquired by the additional lottery is “2” or more, a reel effect other than “sorrow effect” (reel effect for performing symbol display effect after reel action effect) The reel effect is performed a plurality of times. The number of symbol display effects is the number of reel effects -1. Hereinafter, various specific operation examples of the "superimposed effect" will be described.

(4) Operation example 1 of additional production
First, as the operation example 1 of the “addition effect”, an operation example when the addition occurrence flag and type “3” (the number of added games is 100) is acquired by the addition lottery will be described.

  In the operation example 1, first, the reel action pattern 2 is selected as the reel action pattern. Next, based on the acquired additional occurrence flag and type “3”, when, for example, the effect pattern type “1” is determined by the lottery process of the effect pattern type, the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 After (the vibration operation of the reel, the reverse rotation operation and the forward rotation operation) is performed, the symbol display effect of "center line red 7 complete" is performed. Thus, the first reel effect is finished.

  Next, the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is updated. Specifically, in the first reel effect, “2” is obtained as the subtraction value, so the subtraction value “2” is subtracted from the initial value “3” of the additional occurrence flag and type, and after subtraction (after updating The value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “1”. In this case, the reel action pattern 1 (only the vibration operation of the reel) is selected as the reel action pattern.

  Next, a reel effect ("Sorry effect") corresponding to the updated addition occurrence flag / type "1" is performed. As a result, the second reel effect is finished, and the additional effect is also finished.

  In the operation example 1, as described above, a total of two reel effects are performed including “sorrow effect”, and the number of symbol display effects is one.

(5) Operation example 2 of additional production
Next, as the operation example 2 of the “addition effect”, similarly to the operation example 1, the operation example in the case where the addition occurrence flag and type “3” (the number of added games is 100) is acquired by the addition lottery will be described. .

  In the operation example 2, first, the reel action pattern 2 is selected as the reel action pattern. Next, when, for example, the effect pattern type “2” is determined by the lottery process of the effect pattern type based on the acquired additional occurrence flag and type “3”, the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 Is performed, the symbol display effect of "top line red 7 match" is performed. Thus, the first reel effect is finished.

  Next, the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is updated. Specifically, in the first reel effect, “1” is obtained as the subtraction value, so the subtraction value “1” is subtracted from the initial value “3” of the additional occurrence flag and type, and after subtraction (after updating The value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “2”. In this case, the reel action pattern 2 is selected as the reel action pattern.

  Next, when, for example, the effect pattern type “3” is determined by the lottery process of the effect pattern type based on the updated additional occurrence flag and type “2”, the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 After (the vibration operation, the reverse rotation operation, and the forward rotation operation of the reel) is performed, the symbol display effect of “bottom line red 7 uniform” is performed. This completes the second reel effect.

  Next, the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is updated again. Specifically, in the second reel effect, “1” is acquired as the subtraction value, so the subtraction value “1” is subtracted from the first update value “2” of the additional occurrence flag and type, and after the update The value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “1”. In this case, the reel action pattern 1 is selected as the reel action pattern.

  Next, a reel effect ("Sorry effect") corresponding to the updated addition occurrence flag / type "1" is performed. Thus, the third reel effect is finished, and the additional effect is also finished.

  In the operation example 2, as described above, a total of three reel effects are performed including the “sorrow effect”, and the number of symbol display effects is two.

(6) Operation example 3 of additional production
Next, as the operation example 3 of the “addition effect”, an operation example in the case where the addition occurrence flag and type “7” (the number of added games is 300) is acquired by the addition lottery will be described.

  In the operation example 3, first, the reel action pattern 2 is selected as the reel action pattern. Next, when, for example, the effect pattern type “6” is determined by the lottery process of effect pattern type based on the acquired additional occurrence flag and type “7”, the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 After the event, "centerline clown perfect" symbol display effect is performed. Thus, the first reel effect is finished.

  Next, the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is updated. Specifically, in the first reel effect, “5” is obtained as the subtraction value, so the subtraction value “5” is subtracted from the initial value “7” of the additional occurrence flag and type, and after subtraction (after updating The value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “2”. In this case, the reel action pattern 2 is selected as the reel action pattern.

  Next, when, for example, the effect pattern type “4” is determined by the lottery process of the effect pattern type based on the updated additional occurrence flag and type “2”, the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 Is performed, the symbol display effect of "Cross-up line red 7 alignment" is performed. This completes the second reel effect.

  Next, the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is updated again. Specifically, in the second reel effect, “1” is acquired as the subtraction value, so the subtraction value “1” is subtracted from the first update value “2” of the additional occurrence flag and type, and after the update The value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “1”. In this case, the reel action pattern 1 is selected as the reel action pattern.

  Next, a reel effect ("Sorry effect") corresponding to the updated addition occurrence flag / type "1" is performed. Thus, the third reel effect is finished, and the additional effect is also finished.

  In the operation example 3, as described above, a total of three reel effects are performed including the “sorrow effect”, and the number of symbol display effects is two.

[Clown dropout effect]
In the "clown dropout effect", the part (including "Replay P" and "Replay 6") of the winning number "30" (abbreviated "F_rip G9") is won, and the "clown match" symbol combination (special This is a reel effect to be performed when (combination of symbols) can not be stopped (displayed) on the effective line.

  In the "clown dropout effect", at the time of reel acceleration processing of the unit game next to the unit game in which the above conditions are satisfied (at the start of the "simulated bonus" game), the effect pattern type "6" ("centerline clown perfect") Perform the reel effect corresponding to. More specifically, in the "clown dropout effect", after the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 is performed in the same manner as the "superimposed effect", the "clown alignment" symbol combination is displayed on the center line Performs symbol display effects.

  It should be noted that it is determined whether or not the symbol combination of "clown match" has been dropped while the winning combination of winning number "30" (abbreviated "F_rip G9") has won (the transition to "pseudo-bonus" is determined). Is determined with reference to the value of the dropout flag stored in a predetermined storage area (storage area for penalty) of the main RAM 53 or the like. The dropout flag is a flag indicating whether or not a "clown dropout effect" is performed at the start of the next unit game.

  Here, FIG. 84 shows a table in which the contents of the drop flag are summarized. As shown in FIG. 84, in the case of winning the winning combination of winning number “30” (abbreviated “F_rip G9”), the “clown match” symbol combination is dropped (at the start of the next unit game “clown dropout effect Is performed, the value of the drop flag is set to “1”, and otherwise “0” is set.

  In addition, when performing "clown dropping effect", from the winning of the role of winning number "30" (abbreviated "F_ Lip G9") to the normal reel rotation operation (the state in which the player can stop operation) The control procedure of the reels is as follows.

  First, in the case where the symbol combination of "clown match" is dropped in a state where the winning combination "30" (abbreviated "F_rip G9") is won internally (in this case, "Replay 6" actually wins), The value of the drop flag is set to "1". Next, when the next unit game is started, the acceleration processing (inoperable state) of the reel is started, and the "clown dropping effect" described above is performed during the acceleration processing. Next, after the “clown drop-out effect” is finished, the lock operation is performed for the same period as the period performed when the symbol combination of “clown alignment” is stopped and displayed on the effective line by the player's stop operation of the reel. Next, after random processing described later is performed, the reel rotation operation shifts to a normal reel rotation operation.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role ("Replay P" or "Replay 6") related to the winning number "30" (abbreviated "F_Rip G9") is stopped and displayed on the effective line. If it is (when winning), the game of "simulated bonus" (ART) is started. However, in the present embodiment, as shown in the symbol combination tables in FIG. 7 to FIG. 20, the replay roles (“C_PB Lip 01” to “C_PB Lip 09”) and “C_RT 5” pertaining to “Replay P” and “Replay 6”. A plurality of symbol combinations corresponding to Lip 01 "to" C_RT5 Lip 18 ") are set, and symbol combinations other than the" clown matching "symbol combinations (for example," clown "-" clown "-" BAR ", etc. ) Is also set.

  That is, in the present embodiment, even when the symbol combination of "clown perfect" is not displayed, a benefit of "simulated bonus" (ART) is set to be provided. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the “fake bonus” (ART) can be easily given even to a player who is not used to watching.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the next unit game is accelerated even if the symbol combination of "clown perfect" is missed in the state of winning a winning combination "30" (abbreviated "F_ Lip G9"). In the processing, a "clown dropout effect" is performed to display the "clown perfect" pattern combination. Thus, in the present embodiment, it is possible to notify the player that the “simulated bonus” (ART) has been given even when the “clown perfect” symbol combination is dropped.

[Pseudo bonus prize masquerade effect]
"Pseudo bonus prize masquerade effect", after the gaming state falls from "simulated BB flag" (RT3 state) or "simulated RB flag" (RT4 state) to "normal state" (RT1 state), rescue measures ( When “Replay 4” wins in “normal state” by the navigation) and the gaming state shifts from “normal state” (RT1 state) to “simulated bonus relief state” (RT6 state) (thick arrow in FIG. 67) Reel effect to be performed).

  If the gaming state is shifted from the “normal state” to the “pseudo bonus relief state” due to the remedial action after the gaming state falls from “between the pseudo BB flags” to the “normal state” In the acceleration process performed at the time of game start (at the start of the next unit game of the unit game determined to shift to the “simulated bonus relief state”), the effect pattern type “1” (“center line red 7 set”) A "pseudo bonus winning fake show effect" corresponding to is performed.

  That is, in this case, a reel effect of displaying the symbol combination of "7 items in red" on the center line is performed as the "simulated bonus winning fake effect effect". In this case, in the "pseudo bonus prize masquerade effect", after the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 is performed as in the "superimposed effect", the symbol display effect of "center line red 7 set" is performed .

  On the other hand, after the gaming state falls from "simulated RB flag" to "normal state", if the gaming state is shifted from "normal state" to "simulated bonus relief state" due to the remedial measure, "simulated bonus relief state" In the acceleration process performed at the start of the game of “1”, “pseudo-bonus bonus presentation masquerade effect” corresponding to the effect pattern type “7” (“center line RB aligned”) is performed.

  That is, in this case, a reel effect of displaying the symbol combination of “RB aligned” on the center line is performed as “pseudo bonus winning concealment effect”. In this case, in the “pseudo-bonus bonus show fake effect”, after the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 is performed as in the “superimposed effect”, the symbol display effect of “center line RB match” is performed.

  As described above, in the "simulated bonus prize masquerade effect", the symbol combination to be displayed in the reel effect is changed according to the transition path (falling path) of the gaming state. In the “pseudo-bonus bonus game showing effect”, the type of the transition path of the above-mentioned gaming state is the value of the inter-flag transition discriminator stored in a predetermined storage area such as the main RAM 53 (“0” to “2” It is determined with reference to).

  With reference to FIG. 85, the correspondence between the type of transition path of the gaming state and the value of the inter-flag transition time discriminator, and the processing contents of “pseudo-bonus win show fake effect” in each transition path will be specifically described. . FIG. 85 is a correspondence table of the inter-flag transition identifier value and the processing content corresponding to each value.

  As shown in FIG. 85, the inter-flag transition identifier '1' causes the relief measure to be RT after the RT state falls from the RT3 state ("simulated BB flags") to the RT1 state ("normal state"). This corresponds to the “pseudo-bonus bonus show-off effect” performed when the state shifts from the RT1 state to the RT6 state (“the pseudo bonus relief state”). In addition, after the flag transition time discriminator “2” falls from the RT4 state (“due to pseudo RB flag”) to the RT1 state (“normal state”), the remedial measure causes the RT state to change from the RT1 state to the RT6 state ( This corresponds to the “pseudo bonus prize masquerade effect” performed when the game mode is shifted to the “pseudo bonus relief state”. The inter-flag transition time discriminator "0" corresponds to the case where the normal gaming state is maintained without falling of the gaming state.

  Therefore, when the inter-flag transition time discriminator value is “1”, first, the unit game start time after the transition to the RT6 state (the unit game following the unit game for which the transition to the RT6 state is determined) At the start of (1), the effect pattern type “1” is set, and the value of the inter-flag transition discriminator is cleared (set to “0”). Next, when the acceleration process of the reels is started, a “pseudo-bonus bonus show-off effect” corresponding to the effect pattern type “1” is performed. Specifically, after the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 is performed, a symbol display effect of "center line red 7 sets" is performed. Thereafter, "100" is set in the ART game number counter. The ART game number counter is a counter for managing the remaining unit game number (ART game number) in the gaming period “ART state”, and is stored in the main RAM 53.

  On the other hand, when the value of the inter-flag transition discriminator value is “2”, first, the effect pattern type “7” is set at the start of the unit game when transitioning to the RT6 state, and the inter-flag transition discriminator Is cleared (set to '0'). Next, when the acceleration process of the reels is started, a “pseudo-bonus bonus show-off effect” corresponding to the effect pattern type “7” is performed. Specifically, after the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 is performed, the symbol display effect of "center line RB aligned" is performed. After that, "50" is set in the ART game number counter.

  In addition, in the case of performing "simulated bonus prize masquerade effect", the control procedure of the reel from the transition time to the RT6 state to the normal reel rotation operation (the state in which the player can perform the stop operation) is as follows. It is.

  First, in the RT1 state, when the "Replay 4" wins, the RT state shifts to the RT6 state, and the game in the RT6 state is started (when the start lever is pressed), the reel acceleration process (inoperable State) is started, and during the acceleration process, the above-mentioned "pseudo bonus prize masquerade effect" is performed. Next, after the “pseudo-bonus bonus game”, the same period as that performed when the symbol combination “Red 7 Match” or “RB Match” is stopped and displayed on the activated line by the player's stop operation of the reel , Lock operation is performed. Next, after random processing described later is performed, the reel rotation operation shifts to a normal reel rotation operation.

[Continuous decision production]
"Continuous decision effect" is the start of the next set of "pseudo bonus" to be continued when winning the ART contingent lottery carried out when the gaming state shifts to "simulated bonus" (ART: RT5 state) It is a reel effect performed in the reel acceleration process of (the unit game next to a unit game won by ART continuous lottery).

  In the "continuation decision effect", a reel effect corresponding to the effect pattern type "1" is performed. That is, a reel effect of “center line red 7 aligned” is performed. More specifically, after "reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 is performed in the" continuous determination effect "as in the additional effect, a symbol for displaying the" seven red "symbol combinations on the center line Display effects are performed.

  It should be noted that, when performing "Continuous Confirmation Effect", normal reel rotation operation in the start game of the next "simulated bonus" (ART) set game from the final game of the "simulated bonus" set in which ART continuation has been determined The control procedure of the reel until (the state in which the player can perform the stop operation) is performed is as follows.

  First, in the final game (a game in which the value of the ART game number counter becomes “0”) in the “pseudo-bonus” set for which ART continuation has been determined, after the reel is stopped for the third time, the ART end lock operation is To be done. Thereafter, the player depresses the start lever to start setting of the next "simulated bonus". Then, in the first unit game of this "simulated bonus", acceleration processing (inoperable state) of the reels is started, and during the acceleration processing, the above-mentioned "continuation decision effect" is performed. Next, after the "Continuous Confirmation Effect" ends, the lock operation is performed for the same period as the period performed when the symbol combination of "Red 7" is stopped and displayed on the activated line by the player's stop operation of the reel. Next, after random processing described later is performed, the reel rotation operation shifts to a normal reel rotation operation.

<Signal output specification to external concentrated terminal board>
In the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, when the player's reel stop operation causes the "start symbol combination of simulated bonus" to be stopped and displayed on the activated line, that is, the replay role corresponding to the "start symbol combination of simulated bonus". When the player wins, an external signal is output from the main control circuit 41 to the external concentrated terminal. In addition, with "the start symbol combination of the pseudo bonus" mentioned here, the symbol combination ("red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" of "C_BB lip 01" in the symbol combination table shown in Figs. 7 to 20) : "Red 7 Aligned", "C_RB Lip 01" symbol combination ("Red 7"-"Red 7"-"BAR": "RB Aligned"), and "C_PB Lip 01" symbol combination (" A "clown"-"clown"-"clown": "clown match" is one of the symbol combinations.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 similarly sends an external signal to the external concentrated terminal even when "a start symbol combination of simulated bonus" is displayed by the various reel effects performed at the time of the above-described reel acceleration processing. Is output.

  Here, the output specification of the external signal to the external concentrated terminal board will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 86 is a table summarizing the contents of the output specification to the external concentrated terminal board.

  "Replay B prize" in FIG. 86 is a case where the symbol combination "Red 7" is stopped and displayed on the effective line by the player's reel stop operation, and "Replay P prize" is a game. It is a case where the symbol combination of "clown alignment" is stopped and displayed on the effective line by the reel stop operation of the person. In any of these cases, the main control circuit 41 outputs an external signal to a predetermined terminal (hereinafter referred to as an external signal terminal 1) of the external concentrated terminal plate, and turns the external signal terminal 1 into an ON state.

  Further, “Replay R winning” in FIG. 86 is a case where the symbol combination “RB aligned” is stopped and displayed on the activated line by the reel stop operation of the player. In this case, the main control circuit 41 outputs an external signal to a terminal (hereinafter referred to as an external signal terminal 2) different from the external signal terminal 1 of the external concentrated terminal plate, and turns the external signal terminal 2 into an ON state. Do.

  Further, “Replay B display during superimposition effect” in FIG. 86 refers to the case where the symbol combination of “seven red” is displayed on the center line by the “superimpose effect” described above, and “superimposed effect during The "replay P display" is a case where the symbol combination of "clown perfect" is displayed on the center line by the "superimposition effect". In any of these cases, after the main control circuit 41 temporarily turns off the external signal terminal 1 of the external concentrated terminal plate, the main control circuit 41 outputs the external signal to the external signal terminal 1 again for external signal use. Turn terminal 1 on. As described above, by temporarily switching the external signal terminal 1 to the OFF state, and then setting it to the ON state again, it is possible to accurately count the number of times of the reel effect in the “addition effect”.

  In addition, “display during continuous effect Replay B” in FIG. 86 is a case where the symbol combination of “Red 7” is displayed on the center line by the above-described “continuous determined effect”. In this case, the main control circuit 41 temporarily turns off the external signal terminal 1 of the external concentrated terminal plate and then outputs the external signal to the external signal terminal 1 again to turn on the external signal terminal 1. Put in a state. This makes it possible to accurately count the number of sets (the number of continuations) of the "simulated bonus" (ART).

  In addition, “the clown dropping over production replay P display” in FIG. 86 is a case where the “clown matching complete” symbol combination is displayed on the center line by the “clown dropping over performance presentation” described above. In this case, the main control circuit 41 outputs an external signal to the external signal terminal 1 of the external concentrated terminal plate to turn on the external signal terminal 1. As a result, it is possible to accurately count the number of transitions to the "simulated bonus" (ART).

  In addition, “replay B display during pseudo bonus masquerade effect” in FIG. 86 is a game by a rescue measure after the gaming state falls from “due to simulated BB flag” (RT3 state) to “normal state” (RT1 state). When the symbol combination of "7 matches in red" is displayed on the center line by "pseudo-bonus bonus show-off effect" which is performed when the status shifts from "normal status" to "simulated bonus relief status" (RT6 status) It is In this case, the main control circuit 41 outputs an external signal to the external signal terminal 1 of the external concentrated terminal plate to turn on the external signal terminal 1. This makes it possible to accurately count the number of transitions to the “simulated bonus relief state”.

  Also, in the "replay R display during simulated bonus masquerade" in FIG. 86, the game state is changed to the "normal state" (RT1 state) from "due between simulated RB flags" (RT4 state), and then the game is played with relief measures. When the symbol combination of “RB aligned” is displayed on the center line by “pseudo-bonus bonus show-off effect” which is performed when the state shifts from “normal state” to “simulated bonus rescue state” (RT6 state) It is. In this case, the main control circuit 41 outputs an external signal to the external signal terminal 2 of the external concentrated terminal plate to turn on the external signal terminal 2. This makes it possible to accurately count the number of transitions to the “simulated bonus relief state”.

<Random acceleration processing>
In the pachi slot 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, various reel effects for notification are performed during the period of the reel acceleration processing, and a specific symbol combination is aligned and displayed on a specific line. Therefore, when the game is started as it is after the reel effect, the game is started with the specific symbol combinations being arranged. In this case, it becomes easy for the player to measure the timing for stopping the symbols related to the winning combination by using the specific symbol combination aligned in the reel effect as a guide.

  In this case, the winning frequency of the winning combination (displayed between the player who is playing a game in a state in which the specific symbol combination is complete and the player who is playing a game in a state in which the specific symbol combination is not complete There is a possibility that the difference in probability) may be large, causing losses to the game arcade. Therefore, in the pachi slot 1 of the present embodiment, after the various reel effects for notification are finished during the above-described reel acceleration processing, random acceleration processing is performed on each reel to solve the above problem.

  In the random acceleration process of the present embodiment, first, a random value (one of 0 to 20 in the present embodiment) for determining the wait time to be set for a predetermined reel is acquired. Next, the rotational speed is accelerated to a constant speed in the same manner as in the normal acceleration process for a predetermined reel.

  Next, the wait time is set based on the acquired random number value. In this embodiment, a random number value × 32 × 1.1172 msec is used as a wait time. Then, the set weight time is digested. Thereafter, the target reels for the acceleration processing are changed, and the above-described operations of acquisition of random number values, reel acceleration, setting of wait time, and digestion are repeated in this order.

  In the present embodiment, the random acceleration process is ended when the above various processes are completed for all the reels, and then normal reel rotation control is performed.

First, the procedure of the main operation processing of the pachislot 1 performed by the control of the main CPU 51 will be described with reference to the main flowchart (hereinafter referred to as the main flow) shown in FIG.

  First, when the pachi slot 1 is powered on, the main CPU 51 performs initialization processing at power on (S1). In this initialization process, it is determined whether the backup has been performed normally, whether the setting has been properly changed, etc., and initialization corresponding to the determination result is performed.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs an initialization process at the end of one game (S2). In this initialization process, data in the designated storage area in the main RAM 53 is cleared. Here, the designated storage area is, for example, a storage area in which data needs to be erased for each game, such as an internal winning combination storing area and a display combination storing area.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs medal acceptance / start check processing (S3). In this process, a check of the input of the medal sensor 35S and the start switch 16S is performed. The details of the medal acceptance / start check process will be described later with reference to FIG. 88 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 extracts random number values (0 to 65535), and stores the extracted random number values in a random number value storage area (not shown) provided in the main RAM 53 (S4). Next, the main CPU 51 performs internal lottery processing (S5). In this process, the internal winning combination is determined by lottery based on the random number value extracted in S4. The details of the internal lottery process will be described later with reference to FIG. 89 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs reel stop initialization processing (S6). The details of the reel stop initial setting process will be described later with reference to FIG. 90 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs reel rotation start processing (S9). In this process, a reel acceleration process after the reel effect is mainly performed. In the reel acceleration process, the start of the rotation of all the reels is requested, and driving of the three stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R is performed by an interrupt process (see FIG. 112) which is executed in a fixed cycle (1.1172 msec). The rotation of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R is started under control. Then, each reel is controlled to accelerate until the rotational speed reaches a constant speed, and thereafter, it is controlled to maintain the constant speed. Further, in the present embodiment, in the reel rotation start process of S9, the random acceleration process after the reel effect is also performed. The details of the reel rotation start process will be described later with reference to FIG. 94 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a drawing priority storage process (S10). In this process, the main CPU 51 acquires the pull-in priority data and stores it in the pull-in priority data storage area. The details of the attraction priority storage process will be described later with reference to FIG. 96 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs reel stop control processing (S11). In this process, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped based on the timing when the left stop button 17L, the middle stop button 17C and the right stop button 17R are pressed and the internal winning combination. The details of the reel stop control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 99 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a winning search process (S12). In this process, the main CPU 51 stores data of the symbol code storage area (symbol code storage area 2 and thereafter in FIG. 64) in the display combination storage area (see FIG. 60). Further, in this process, the combination of symbols displayed on the effective line after the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R are all stopped is collated with the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 7 to 20). Then, the main CPU 51 may determine whether or not the display combination is displayed on the activated line, and may store the determination result in the display combination storage area. The details of the winning search process will be described later with reference to FIG. 107 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs medal payout processing (S13). In this process, the driving of the hopper 33 and the updating of the number of credits are performed based on the number of payouts of the display combination determined in S12, and the medals are dispensed. At this time, in the present embodiment, as shown in the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 7 to 20), the payout number of medals varies depending on the display combination, but the maximum payout number for 3 medals inserted ( Maximum payout is 9 sheets.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs RT control processing (S14). In this process, the main CPU 51 manages the RT state and its transition operation. The details of the RT control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 108 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs RT game number processing (S15). In this process, the main CPU 51 mainly controls the additional lottery process of the number of ART games performed during the “simulated bonus”. The details of the RT game number process will be described later with reference to FIG. 109 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs effect control processing at the end of the game (S16). In addition, the details of the game end effect control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 111 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs payout end command transmission processing (S17). Specifically, the main CPU 51 transmits a payout end command to the sub control circuit 42. Then, when the payout end command transmission process ends, the main CPU 51 returns the process to S2, and repeats the processes after S2.

[Medal acceptance and start check processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 88, the medal reception / start check process performed in S3 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether there is an automatic input request (S21). The presence or absence of the automatic insertion request is performed by determining whether the automatic insertion counter is "0". That is, the main CPU 51 determines that there is no automatic insertion request when the automatic insertion counter is “0”, and determines that there is an automatic insertion request when the automatic insertion counter is “1” or more.

  The automatic insertion counter is data for identifying whether or not a display combination relating to replay has been established in the previous unit game. When the display combination relating to the replay is established, medals of the number inserted in the previous unit game are automatically inserted into the automatic insertion counter.

  When the main CPU 51 determines in S21 that there is an automatic input request (when the determination in S21 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs an automatic input process (S22). In this process, the value of the automatic insertion counter is copied to the insertion number counter, and then the value of the automatic insertion counter is cleared. Thereafter, the main CPU 51 performs the process of S29 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that there is no automatic insertion request in S21 (when the determination in S21 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs medal acceptance permission (S23). In this process, the solenoid of the selector 35 (see FIG. 3) is driven, and the medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 11 is accepted. The accepted medals are counted and then guided to the hopper 33.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets the maximum value of the number of inserted sheets according to the gaming state (S24). In the present embodiment, for example, the maximum value of the number of inserted sheets is set to “3”.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the medal acceptance is permitted (S25). When the main CPU 51 determines that the medal acceptance is not permitted in S25 (when the determination in S25 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S29 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S25 that the medal acceptance is permitted (when the determination in S25 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs medal insertion check processing (S26). In this process, the main CPU 51 determines whether a medal has been inserted, and adds “1” to the inserted number counter when the medal is inserted.

  Next, the main CPU 51 transmits a medal insertion command to the sub control circuit 42 (S27). The medal insertion command is configured to include parameters for specifying the number of inserted cards and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the inserted number is the game startable number (S28). In S28, when the main CPU 51 determines that the inserted number is not the game startable number (when the determination in S28 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S25 and repeats the process from S25. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S28 that the inserted number is the game startable number (when the determination in S28 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S29 described later. In the present embodiment, for example, the game startable number is “3”.

  After the processing of S22, if S25 is NO or if S28 is YES, the main CPU 51 determines whether the start switch is on (S29). When the main CPU 51 determines in S29 that the start switch is not turned on (when the determination in S29 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S25 and repeats the processes in and after S25.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S29 that the start switch is on (when the determination in S29 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs a medal acceptance prohibition process (S30). By this process, the solenoid of the selector 35 (see FIG. 3) is not driven, and the inserted medal is discharged from the medal payout opening 18. When this process ends, the main CPU 51 ends the medal acceptance / start check process, and shifts the process to S4 of the main flow (see FIG. 87).

[Internal lottery process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 89, the internal lottery process performed in S5 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described. In the present embodiment, an internal lottery process using an internal lottery table described below is executed by the main control circuit 41. That is, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 doubles as means for executing the internal lottery process (internal winning combination determination means).

  First, the main CPU 51 sets lottery value data in the internal lottery table according to the RT state (playing state) (S41). That is, main CPU 51 determines the current RT state with reference to the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 61), and defines it in the field corresponding to the current RT state in the internal lottery table shown in FIGS. The data indicating the correspondence between the winning number and the lottery value is set.

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires random number values stored in the random number value storage area (S42). Then, the main CPU 51 sets “1” as an initial value of the winning number.

  Next, the main CPU 51 refers to data indicating the correspondence between the winning number set in S41 and the lottery value, and acquires a lottery value corresponding to the winning number, and subtracts the lottery value from the random number (S43).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the calculation result in S43 is less than 0 (negative value) (S44).

  When the main CPU 51 determines in S44 that the calculation result is not less than 0 (when the determination in S44 is NO), the main CPU 51 updates the random number value and the winning number (S45). Specifically, the value of the operation result is a random number, and the winning number is incremented by one.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not all the winning numbers have been checked (S46). When it is determined in S46 that the main CPU 51 has not checked all the winning numbers (if S46 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S43 and repeats the processes after S43.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S46 that the main CPU 51 has checked all the winning numbers (if the determination in S46 is YES), the main CPU 51 sets "0" as a data pointer (S47). That is, the main CPU 51 sets “0” as the small winning combination / replay data pointer.

  Here, returning to the description of the process of S44 again, when the main CPU 51 determines that the calculation result is less than 0 (negative value) in S44 (in the case of YES determination in S44), the main CPU 51 determines that the current The small pointer / replay data pointer corresponding to the winning number is acquired (S48).

  Then, after the processing of S47 or S48, the main CPU 51 refers to the internal winning combination determination table (see FIGS. 26 to 36), and acquires the internal winning combination based on the small winning combination / replay data pointer (S49).

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the acquired internal winning combination in the internal winning combination storage area (S50). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the internal lottery process, and shifts the process to S6 of the main flow (see FIG. 87).

[Reel stop initialization process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 90, the reel stop initial setting process performed in S6 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 acquires the number for rotating and stopping based on the internal winning combination acquired in the internal lottery process of S5 in FIG. 87 with reference to the number selection table for rotating and stopping (refer to FIG. 37). (S61).

  Next, the main CPU 51 refers to the reel stop initialization setting table (see FIGS. 38 to 40) and acquires various information corresponding to the rotation stop number based on the acquired rotation stop number (S62). . Specifically, the main CPU 51 determines determination data by depression order (draw-in priority order table number and draw-up priority order selection table number) corresponding to the acquired number for stopping rotation, irregularly-pressed table number selection value (unevenly-pushed Time table selection data and change status), forward change table change data, forward change table selection data, and forward change table change initial data selection values (table number and change status) are acquired.

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the rotating identifier “0FFH (11111111B)” in the entire symbol code storage area (see FIG. 64) (S63).

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores "3" in the stop button non-operation counter provided in the main RAM 53 (S64). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the reel stop initialization setting processing, and shifts the processing to S7 of the main flow (see FIG. 87). The stop button non-operation counter is a counter for managing the number of stop buttons for which a stop operation has not been detected.

[Game start effect control process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 91, the game start effect control process performed in S8 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described. In the game start effect control process, the reel effect process is mainly performed, and this process is executed by the main control circuit 41. That is, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 doubles as means (display row effect means) for executing the reel effect process. Further, in the game start effect control process, a process of outputting an external signal to a predetermined external signal terminal of the external concentrated terminal board is also performed in accordance with the type of reel effect. That is, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 doubles as a means (external signal output means) for outputting an external signal to the external concentrated terminal plate.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether the current RT state is the RT5 state or the RT6 state (S71). In this process, the main CPU 51 determines the current RT state with reference to the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 61).

  In S71, when the main CPU 51 determines that the current RT state is not the RT5 state or the RT6 state (when the determination in S71 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the game start effect control process, and the main flow of the process ( Move to S9 of FIG.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the current RT state is the RT5 state or the RT6 state in S71 (when the determination in S71 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the reel effect counter is "1" or more. It is determined whether or not (S72). The reel effect counter is a counter for managing the number of times of the reel effect, and is provided in the main RAM 53. When the value of the reel effect counter is “1” or more, the reel effect is performed at the start of the next game (during the reel acceleration processing). Further, when the reel effect is the “addition effect”, as described above, the number of times of the reel effect is determined according to the value of the addition occurrence flag / type.

  In S72, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the reel effect counter is not "1" or more (when the determination in S72 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the effect control process at the time of game start, and the main flow ( Move to S9 of FIG.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S72 that the value of the reel effect counter is "1" or more (when the determination in S72 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs stop position determination processing (S73). In this process, the values of the reel action pattern and the display symbol pattern (stop symbol position) in the various reel effects described above are determined. That is, in the stop position determination process, the effect pattern type of the reel effect is determined. The details of the stop position determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. 92 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 starts the reel accelerating operation based on the value of the set reel action pattern (S74).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the additional occurrence flag / type is “1” (S75). In S75, when the main CPU 51 determines that the additional occurrence flag / type is “1” (when the determination in S75 is YES), that is, when the set reel action pattern is the reel action pattern 1, the main CPU 51 Ends the game start effect control process, and shifts the process to S9 of the main flow (see FIG. 87). The determination process of S75 is performed before the process of "end code" which defines the end of the operation of the set reel action pattern.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S75 that the additional occurrence flag / type is not "1" (when S75 is NO), that is, when the set reel action pattern is the reel action pattern 2, the main After the end of the reel action effect (vibration operation, reverse rotation operation and forward rotation operation) started in S74, the CPU 51 performs constant speed processing for reel effect (S76). In this process, the main CPU 51 controls the rotation of the reels in accordance with the excitation pattern of the reels defined in the excitation data address "MGDAT_AP" in the excitation data table of FIG.

  Next, after detecting the reel index in a predetermined reel (for example, the left reel 3L), the main CPU 51 sets a stop symbol position of the predetermined reel based on the set effect pattern type value (S77). Next, the main CPU 51 holds a predetermined reel at the stop symbol position (S78). In this reel holding process, the reel is made to appear to be stopped to the player by holding the reel at the stop symbol position by continuously inputting the excitation signal to the stepping motor which rotationally drives the predetermined reel.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets a wait time of 240 msec (a time when the game operation can not be performed) for the held predetermined reel (S79). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 monitors the wait time until the wait time reaches 240 msec to 0 msec (until the wait time is consumed).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the wait time has become 0 msec (S80). When the main CPU 51 determines in S80 that the wait time has not become 0 msec (when the determination in S80 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the determination process of S80.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S80 that the wait time has become 0 msec (when the determination in S80 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether all reels are stopped (held) at corresponding stop graphic positions. It is determined whether or not it is (S81).

  In S81, when the main CPU 51 determines that all the reels are not stopped (held) (in the case of NO determination in S81), the main CPU 51 changes the reels to be stopped and returns the process to S77. The processing after step S77 is repeated. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S81 that all the reels are stopped (held) (when the determination in S81 is YES), the main CPU 51 clears the value of the set effect pattern type ( S82).

  When all reels are stopped (held) in S81 (when a specific symbol combination is displayed on a specific line by the reel effect), the main CPU 51 outputs an external signal shown in FIG. 86. According to the specification, an external signal is output to a predetermined external signal terminal of the external concentrated terminal board in accordance with the type of reel effect.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the reel effect counter is "0" (S83). In S83, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the reel effect counter is not “0” (when the determination in S83 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S73, and the process after S73 described above (reel effect process )repeat.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the reel effect counter is “0” in S83 (when the determination in S83 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the effect control process at the time of game start, and the main process is performed. Move to S9 of the flow (see FIG. 87).

[Stop position determination processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 92, the stop position determination process performed in S73 in the flowchart of the game start effect control process (see FIG. 91) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is “1” or more (S91).

  In S91, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “1” or more (when the determination in S91 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs an additional effect stop position determination process (S92) . In this process, the value of the effect pattern type (the content of the reel effect) of the reel effect to be performed when winning the additional lottery in the “simulated bonus” is determined. The details of the additional effect stop position determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. 93 described later. After the processing for the additional effect stop position determination process, the main CPU 51 performs the process of S104 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S91 that the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is not "1" or more (when the determination in S91 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines that the inter flag transition discriminator value is "0". "" Is determined (S93).

  In S93, when the main CPU 51 determines that the inter-flag transition discriminator value is not "0" (when the determination in S93 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines that the inter-flag transition discriminator value is "1" and It is determined whether it is "2". Then, when the value of the inter-flag transition discriminator value is “1”, the main CPU 51 performs effect pattern type “1” (“representation of“ center line red 7 sets ”):“ simulated bonus prize masquerade effect ” Is set, and if the value of the inter-flag transition discriminator is “2”, then the effect pattern type “7” (“reel effect for“ center line RB match ”:“ false bonus winning show effect ”) is set (S94).

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets the value of the inter-flag transition identifier to “0” (S95). Then, after the process of S95, the main CPU 51 performs the process of S102 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S93 that the value of the inter-flag transition discriminator value is “0” (when the determination in S93 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines that the ART continuation occurrence flag and counter has a value “ It is determined whether it is "0" (S96).

  In S96, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag / counter is not “0” (in the case of NO determination in S96), the main CPU 51 selects effect pattern type “1” (“center line red 7 set”) "Reel effect of" "continuous determination effect") is set (S97). The reel effect is performed in the reel acceleration process of the next game after the end of ART (starting game of continuous set of ART). Next, the main CPU 51 subtracts one from the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag / counter (S98). Then, after the process of S98, the main CPU 51 performs the process of S102 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag / counter is "0" in S96 (when the determination in S96 is YES), the main CPU 51 has a value of the drop counter "1". It is determined whether or not (S99).

  In S99, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the drop counter is “1” (when the determination in S99 is YES), the main CPU 51 selects the reel effect of the effect pattern type “6” (“center line clown perfect”) : Set the "clown dropping effect" (S100). Next, the main CPU 51 sets “0” to the value of the drop counter (S101). Then, after the process of S101, the main CPU 51 performs the process of S102 described later.

  After the processing of S95, S98 or S101, or if S99 is NO, the main CPU 51 sets the reel action pattern 2. Next, the main CPU 51 subtracts one from the value of the reel effect counter (S103).

  Then, after the processing of S92 or S103, the main CPU 51 turns on the random acceleration processing flag (S104). The random acceleration processing flag is a flag indicating whether or not the random processing is to be performed. When the random acceleration processing flag is in the on state, the random acceleration processing is performed after the reel effect. The random acceleration processing flag is stored in the main RAM 53. After the processing of S104, the main CPU 51 ends the stop position determination processing, and shifts the processing to S74 in the flowchart of the game start effect control processing (see FIG. 91).

[Stop position determination process for additional effects]
Next, with reference to FIG. 93, the stop position determination process for additional effect performed in S92 in the flowchart of the stop position determination process (see FIG. 92) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 randomly determines an effect pattern type to be set at the “addition effect” based on the value of the addition occurrence flag and type data (S111). In this process, the main CPU 51 performs lottery of effect pattern types with reference to the additional effect line lottery table shown in FIG.

  Next, based on the value of the effect pattern type determined in S111, the main CPU 51 sets information on the stop symbol position of each reel to be stopped (held) in the "superimposed effect" (S112). In this process, the main CPU 51 sets the stop symbol position of each reel corresponding to the contents of the reel effect with reference to the reel effect stop symbol position table shown in FIG. If the value of the effect pattern type is “0”, that is, if the value of the additional occurrence flag / type data is “1” and “disappointment effect” (reel action effect only) is executed, the stop is performed. The symbol position is not set.

  Next, the main CPU 51 refers to the additional generation flag and type data subtraction value table (see FIG. 83), and subtracts the subtraction value corresponding to the set effect pattern type from the value of the current additional generation flag and type. (S113). Next, the main CPU 51 updates the value of the additional occurrence flag / type subtracted in S113 as the value of the reel effect counter and the value of the new additional occurrence flag / type (S114).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the post-update addition occurrence flag / type is “1” (S115).

  In S115, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the updated additional occurrence flag / type is “1” (when the determination in S115 is YES), that is, “sorry effect” (reel action effect only) is executed. When the main CPU 51 is turned on, the main CPU 51 sets the reel action pattern 1 (S116). Next, the main CPU 51 subtracts one from the value of the reel effect counter (S117). When the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is “1”, the value of the reel effect counter is also “1”. Therefore, since the value of the reel effect counter becomes "0" by the process of S117, the "superimposed effect" is also ended after the "disappointment effect" is ended. Then, after the processing of S117, the main CPU 51 ends the processing for determining a stop position for addition effect, and shifts the processing to S104 in the flowchart of the stop position determination processing (see FIG. 92).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S115 that the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is not "1" (when S115 is NO), that is, when the symbol display effect is performed after the reel action effect, The main CPU 51 sets the reel action pattern 2 (S118). Then, after the processing of S118, the main CPU 51 ends the processing for determining a stop position for addition effect, and shifts the processing to S104 in the flowchart of the stop position determination processing (see FIG. 92).

[Reel rotation start processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 94, the reel rotation start process performed in S9 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether the random acceleration processing flag is on (S121).

  In S121, when the main CPU 51 determines that the random acceleration processing flag is on (when the determination in S121 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs random acceleration processing (S122). In this process, each reel is randomly accelerated after completion of various reel effects, and the rotation speed of each reel is made to reach a predetermined constant speed. The details of the random acceleration process will be described later with reference to FIG. 95 described later.

  After the processing of S122, the main CPU 51 turns off the random acceleration processing flag (S123). Next, the main CPU 51 updates the value of the additional occurrence flag / type to "0" (S124). As a result of this processing, the addition occurrence flag / type is reset. Then, after the processing of S124, the main CPU 51 ends the reel rotation start processing, and shifts the processing to S10 in the main flow (see FIG. 87).

  Here, returning to the process of S121 again, the process in the case where the determination of S121 is NO will be described. In S121, when the main CPU 51 determines that the random acceleration processing flag is not on (S121 is NO), the main CPU 51 sets a reel action pattern 0 (S125).

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs acceleration processing simultaneously on all reels based on the set reel action pattern 0 (S126). In this process, a normal acceleration process is performed when the reel effect and the random acceleration process are not performed. Then, after the processing of S126, the main CPU 51 ends the reel rotation start processing, and shifts the processing to S10 in the main flow (see FIG. 87).

[Random acceleration processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 95, the random acceleration process performed in S122 in the flowchart of the reel rotation start process (see FIG. 94) will be described. The random acceleration process of each reel is executed by the main control circuit 41. That is, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 doubles as means (random acceleration means) for executing the random acceleration process.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets a reel action pattern 0 (initial value of the reel action pattern) (S131). This process sets the normal acceleration process.

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires random numbers for the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel, respectively (S132). Note that the random number value for each reel acquired in this processing is a random number value for randomly determining the wait time until the acceleration processing start of each reel, and in the present embodiment, a range of 0 to 20 (one A random number value is acquired by the number of symbols provided on the reel.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs acceleration processing of the left reel 3L (S133). In this processing, acceleration processing of the left reel 3L is performed based on the set reel action pattern 0. Next, the main CPU 51 sets a wait time (period in which the game operation can not be performed) based on the random number for the left reel (S134). By this process, the digest operation of the wait time after the acceleration process of the left reel 3L is started. In the present embodiment, the left reel random number value (0 to 20) × 32 × 1.1172 msec is set as the wait time in S134.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the wait time has become 0 msec (S135). When the main CPU 51 determines in S135 that the wait time has not become 0 msec (when the determination in S135 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the determination processing of S135.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the wait time has become 0 msec in S135 (when the determination in S135 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs an acceleration process on the middle reel 3C (S136). In this processing, acceleration processing of the middle reel 3C is performed based on the set reel action pattern 0. Next, the main CPU 51 sets a wait time based on the middle reel random number value (S137). By this process, the digest operation of the wait time after the acceleration process of the middle reel 3C is started. In S137, the middle reel random number value (0 to 20) × 32 × 1.1172 msec is set as the wait time.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the wait time has become 0 msec (S138). When the main CPU 51 determines in S138 that the wait time has not become 0 msec (when the determination in S138 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the determination process of S138.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S138 that the wait time has become 0 msec (when the determination in S138 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs acceleration processing of the right reel 3R (S139). In this processing, acceleration processing of the right reel 3R is performed based on the set reel action pattern 0. Next, the main CPU 51 sets a wait time based on the random number for the right reel (S140). By this process, the digest operation of the wait time after the acceleration process of the right reel 3R is started. In S140, the right reel random number value (0 to 20) × 32 × 1.1172 msec is set as the wait time.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the wait time has become 0 msec (S141). When the main CPU 51 determines in S141 that the wait time has not become 0 msec (S141 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the determination process of S141.

  Then, when the main CPU 51 determines that the wait time has become 0 msec in S141 (when the determination in S141 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the random acceleration processing, and the processing is a flowchart of the reel rotation start processing (FIG. 94). Move to S123 in). As described above, in the present embodiment, the weight time is determined based on the random number value for each reel, and the weight time is consumed. Therefore, the acceleration operation of the reel after the reel effect is random acceleration.

[Import priority storage process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 96, the drawing priority priority storage process performed in S10 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 stores the stop button non-operation counter in the main RAM 53 as the number of searches (S151). Next, the main CPU 51 performs search target reel determination processing (S152). In this process, for example, the main CPU 51 selects a predetermined reel from the rotating reels, and determines the selected reel as a search target reel.

  For example, in S152, when all (three) reels are rotated, the left reel 3L is first determined as a search target reel. Thereafter, various processes up to S161 described later are performed on the left reel 3L, and when the process returns to S152 again, the middle reel 3C is determined as a search target reel next. Then, various processes up to S161 to be described later are performed on the middle reel 3C, and when the process returns to S152 again, the right reel 3R is determined as a search target reel next.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs pull-in priority order table selection processing (S153). In this process, the pull-in priority order table is selected based on the internal winning combination (small combination / replay data pointer) and the operation stop button. The details of the leading priority table selection process will be described later with reference to FIG. 97 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets “0” as the symbol position data, and sets “21” as the number of symbol checks (S154). Then, the main CPU 51 performs symbol code acquisition processing (S155). In this process, the symbol code corresponding to the current symbol position data located on the effective line of the search target reel is stored in the symbol code storage area. At this time, symbol codes corresponding to the number of effective lines are stored. The details of the symbol code acquisition process will be described later with reference to FIG. 98 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 updates the display combination storage area (see FIG. 60) based on the acquired symbol code and the data of the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 64) (S156). At this time, regardless of the presence or absence of the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols that can be displayed (displayable combination) is stored in the display combination storage area based on the stop symbol.

  In the present embodiment, the information on the symbol code storage area (the symbol code and the displayable part corresponding to the symbol code storage area) is updated for each stopped reel. At this time, the displayable part may be obtained from data prepared in advance that indicates the correspondence between the symbol of the stopped reel and the corresponding displayable part, or the symbol of the stopped reel And the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 7 to 20) may be collated and acquired. When the former method is used, the correspondence between the symbol and the displayable part changes for each reel.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a pull-in priority order acquisition process (S157). In this process, for the main CPU 51, priority is given to the pull-in priority for a combination in which the bit is "1" in the display combination storage area (see FIG. 60) and the bit is "1" in the internal winning combination storage area. Acquisition priority data are acquired with reference to the order table (see FIG. 57).

  In addition, when the symbol of the combination (for example, the combination according to "C_CL apple 07", "C_XU apple 07" and "C_XU apple 08": see Fig. 20) in which the winning is determined is displayed on some reels, In the case of a reel that is "ANY", it does not acquire the attraction priority data of the role. In addition, when there is a possibility that a winning combination is not determined and a winning combination not determined in the internal winning combination may be determined, the attraction priority data is set to “stop prohibition (all bits 0)”.

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the acquired retraction priority data in the retraction priority data storage area (see FIG. 66) (S158). At this time, the drawing priority order data is stored in the drawing priority order data storage area so that the value of each priority order corresponds to the bit of the storage area. Next, the main CPU 51 adds one to the symbol position data, and subtracts one from the number of symbol checks (S159).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the number of symbol checks is 0 (S160). In S160, when the main CPU 51 determines that the symbol check count is not 0 (when S160 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S155, and repeats the process from S155.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the number of symbol checks is 0 in S160 (when the determination in S160 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the number of searches has been searched (S161).

  In S161, when the main CPU 51 determines that the search has not been performed for the number of searches (when the determination of S161 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S152 and repeats the process of S152 and subsequent steps. On the other hand, when determining in S161 that the main CPU 51 has searched for the number of searches (when the determination in S161 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the pull-in priority storage process and proceeds to S11 of the main flow (see FIG. 87). Transfer to

[Import priority table selection process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 97, the drawing priority order table selection process performed in S153 in the flowchart of the drawing priority order storage process (see FIG. 96) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the drawing priority order table number is set, that is, whether or not the drawing priority order table number is directly stored in the reel stop initial setting process (S6) (S171). ). In S171, when the main CPU 51 determines that the pull-in priority order table number is set (when the determination in S171 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the pull-in priority order table selection process, and the process is stored as pull-in priority order It moves to S154 of processing (refer to FIG. 96).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the pull-in priority order table number is not set in S171 (when S171 is NO), the main CPU 51 stores the pressing order storage area (see FIG. 63) and the operation stop button. With reference to the area (see FIG. 62), the corresponding lead-in priority order table number is set (S172). After that, the main CPU 51 ends the pull-in priority order table selection process, and moves the process to S154 of the pull-up priority order storage process (see FIG. 96).

  In S172, first, the main CPU 51 refers to the pressing order storage area and the operation stop button storage area to acquire data of the pressing order and the operation stop button. Next, the main CPU 51 refers to the drawing priority table selection table corresponding to the drawing priority table selection data, and acquires the drawing priority table number based on the pressing order and the operation stop button. Thereafter, the main CPU 51 sets the acquired drawing priority order table number.

[Symbol code acquisition processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 98, symbol code acquisition processing performed in S155 in the flowchart of the retraction priority storage processing (see FIG. 96) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets valid line data (S181). In the present embodiment, the effective line is provided with one line (center line) as described above. Next, the main CPU 51 sets the check symbol position data of the search target reel based on the search symbol position and the valid line data (S 182). For example, in the case where the search target reel is the left reel 3L, since it is desired to acquire middle information of the search target reel, the check symbol position data indicating the middle is set.

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires the symbol code of the check symbol position data (S183). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the symbol code storage processing, and shifts the processing to S156 of the drawing priority storage processing (see FIG. 96).

[Reel stop control processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 99, the reel stop control process performed in S11 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described. In the present embodiment, the reel stop control process described below is executed by the main control circuit 41. That is, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 doubles as means (stop control means) for executing the reel stop control process.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether a valid stop button has been pressed (S191). In S191, when the main CPU 51 determines that the valid stop button is not pressed (when S191 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the processing of S191 and the pressing operation of the valid stop button is executed. Wait up to.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the effective stop button has been pressed in S191 (when the determination in S191 is YES), the main CPU 51 stores the pressing order storage area (see FIG. 63) and the operation stop button storage area (FIG. 62) is updated (S192). Next, the main CPU 51 subtracts one from the stop button non-operation counter (S193).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines a search target reel from the operation stop button (S194). Then, the main CPU 51 stores the stop start position in the main RAM 53 based on the symbol counter (S195).

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs sliding symbol number determination processing (S196). The details of the sliding symbol number determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. 100 described later. Next, the main CPU 51 transmits a reel stop command to the sub control circuit 42 (S197). The reel stop command transmitted in this process includes information such as the type of reel to be stopped, the number of sliding symbols, and the ON edge / OFF edge of the stop switch. The information on the ON edge / OFF edge of the stop switch may be monitored by an interrupt process described later, and the information may be transmitted to the sub control circuit 42.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines a planned stop position based on the stop start position and the number of sliding symbols determined in S196, and stores the determined planned stop position in the main RAM 53 (S198). In this process, the main CPU 51 adds the number of sliding symbols to the stop start position, and sets the result as the planned stop position.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets the planned stop position determined in S198 as a search symbol position (S199). Next, the main CPU 51 performs the symbol code acquisition process described with reference to FIG. 98 (S200). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 updates the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 64) using the acquired symbol code (S201).

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs control change processing (S202). The details of the control change process will be described later with reference to FIG. 105 described later. Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the pressed stop button has been released (S203). In S203, when the main CPU 51 determines that the pressed stop button is not released (when S203 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the processing of S203 and waits until the pressed stop button is released. Do.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the pressed stop button has been released in S203 (when the determination in S203 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs a reel stop command transmission process (S204). In this process, the main CPU 51 transmits a reel stop command to the sub control circuit 42. At this time, the data configuration of the reel stop command to be transmitted is the same as that of the reel stop command transmitted in S197. However, the information of ON edge / OFF edge included in the reel stop command transmitted in S204 is different from the information of ON edge / OFF edge included in the reel stop command transmitted in S197.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the stop button non-operation counter is “0” (S205). In S205, when the main CPU 51 determines that the inactivity counter is not “0” (S205 is NO determination), the main CPU 51 performs the drawing-in priority storing process described with reference to FIG. 96 (S206). ). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 returns the process to S191, and repeats the processes after S191.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the inactivity counter is "0" in S205 (when the determination in S205 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the reel stop control processing, and the main flow processing (FIG. 87). Move to S12 of reference).

[Sliding piece number determination processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 100, the process for determining the number of sliding symbols performed in S196 in the flowchart of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 99) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 selects line mask data corresponding to the operation stop button based on the line mask data table (not shown) (S211). In this processing, for example, when the left stop button 17L is pressed, the main CPU 51 sets “10000000” in which “1” is set to bit 7 corresponding to “left reel A line” of the stop data as line mask data. Choose Also, for example, when the middle stop button 17C is pressed, the main CPU 51 selects “00010000” in which “1” is set to the bit 4 corresponding to “middle reel A line” of the stop data as line mask data. Do. Also, for example, when the right stop button 17R is pressed, the main CPU 51 selects “00000010” in which “1” is set to bit 1 corresponding to “right reel A line” of the stop data as line mask data. Do.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the first stop (the stop button non-operation counter is “2”) (S212). When the main CPU 51 determines that the first stop is not made in S212 (when the determination in S212 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs second and third stop processing (S213). The details of the second and third stop processes will be described later with reference to FIG. 101 described later. Thereafter, the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S221 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S212 that the first stop has occurred (when the determination in S212 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether the operation stop button is the left stop button (S214).

  In S214, when the main CPU 51 determines that the operation stop button is the left stop button (when the determination in S 214 is YES), the main CPU 51 acquires the forward pressing table selection data and the symbol counter (S 215). In this process, the forward press table selection data is acquired with reference to the reel stop initial setting table (see FIGS. 38 to 40). Next, the main CPU 51 refers to the stop table for first press at the time of first press corresponding to the table selection data for first press, and acquires sliding piece number determination data and change status based on the symbol counter (S216). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S221 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S214 that the operation stop button is not the left stop button (when S214 is NO), the main CPU 51 acquires the irregular pressing table selection data, and the irregular pressing table selection An irregular push stop table corresponding to the data is set (S217). In this process, the irregular press time table selection data is acquired with reference to the reel stop initialization setting table (see FIGS. 38 to 40).

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a line change bit check process (S218). The details of the line change bit check process will be described later with reference to FIG. 102 described later. Next, the main CPU 51 performs line mask data change processing (S219). The details of the line mask data change processing will be described later with reference to FIG. 103 described later. After that, the main CPU 51 refers to the set irregular-push-time stop table and acquires slippage number determination data based on the line mask data and the stop start position (S220).

  Then, after the processing of S213, S216 or S220, the main CPU 51 performs priority attraction control processing (S221). In this process, the pull-in priority order data are compared according to each symbol position in the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols “4” from the stop start position, and the most appropriate number of sliding symbols is determined. The details of the priority attraction control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 104 described later. After that, the main CPU 51 ends the sliding symbol number determination processing, and shifts the processing to S197 of the reel stop control processing (see FIG. 99).

[Second and third stop processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 101, the second and third stop processing performed in S213 in the flowchart of the sliding symbol number determination processing (see FIG. 100) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether it is the second stop operation (S231). In S231, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is not the time of the second stop operation (when S231 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S234 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the second stop operation is being performed (S231 is a YES determination) in S231, the main CPU 51 sequentially presses the stop button (the first stop is the left reel 3L). It is determined whether or not (S232). In S232, when the main CPU 51 determines that forward pressing is not performed (NO determination in S232), the main CPU 51 performs processing of S234 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the forward pressing is performed in S232 (when the determination in S232 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs a line change bit check process (S233). The details of the line change bit check process will be described later with reference to FIG. 102 described later.

  Then, after the processing of S233, or if S231 or S232 is NO, the main CPU 51 performs line mask data change processing (S234). The details of the line mask data change processing will be described later with reference to FIG. 103 described later. Next, the main CPU 51 performs sliding symbol number search processing (S235). In this processing, with reference to the stop table (FIGS. 47 to 51), sliding piece number determination data is determined based on the stop start position.

  For example, when the line mask data is “00010000” corresponding to “middle reel A line”, the main CPU 51 refers to the column of “middle reel A line” of bit 4. Then, for each symbol position within the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols from the stop start position, a search is sequentially performed to determine whether the corresponding data is "1". Next, the main CPU 51 calculates the difference from the symbol position where the corresponding data is “1” to the stop start position, and determines the calculated value as slide number determination data. Then, after the processing of S235, the main CPU 51 ends the second and third stop processing, and shifts the processing to S221 of the sliding number determination processing (see FIG. 100).

[Line change bit check processing]
Next, referring to FIG. 102, the line change bit performed in S218 in the flowchart of the sliding symbol number determination process (see FIG. 100) and in S233 in the flowcharts of the second and third stop processes (see FIG. 101). The check process will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether the change status is “1” or “2” (S241). In S241, when the main CPU 51 determines that the change status is “1” or “2” (when the determination in S241 is “YES”), the main CPU 51 sets a corresponding line status (S242). In this process, in the present embodiment, the A-line status is set when the change status is “1”, and the B-line status is set when the change status is “2”. Then, after the process of S242, the main CPU 51 ends the line change bit check process, and the process is a flow chart of the second / third stop process (see FIG. 101) in the sliding frame number determination process (see FIG. 100). Move to the processing of S234 in).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S241 that the change status is not "1" or "2" (S241 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether the line change bit is on. (S243). In this process, the main CPU 51 refers to the row corresponding to the “middle reel line change bit” or the “right reel line change bit” in the stop table (see FIGS. 47 to 51), and the data corresponding to the stop start position It is determined whether or not it is "1". Then, when the main CPU 51 determines that the data corresponding to the stop start position is not “1”, that is, the line change bit is not on (when S243 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the line change bit check process. And the process proceeds to S219 of the sliding number determination process (see FIG. 100) or to S234 in the flowchart of the second and third stop processes (see FIG. 101).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S243 that the data corresponding to the stop start position is “1”, that is, the line change bit is on (S243 is YES determination), the main CPU 51 The line status is set (S244). The B-line status is data used to change line mask data. Then, after the process of S244, the main CPU 51 ends the line change bit check process, and the process is a flow chart of the second / third stop process (see FIG. 101) in the sliding frame number determination process (see FIG. 100). Move to the processing of S234 in).

[Line mask data change processing]
Next, referring to FIG. 103, the line mask data performed in S219 in the flowchart of the sliding symbol number determination process (see FIG. 100) and in S234 in the flowcharts of the second and third stop processes (see FIG. 101). The change process will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether the C-line status is set (S251). The setting of the C-line status is performed in the case of the forward push in the second post-stop control change process (see FIG. 106) described later.

  In S251, when the main CPU 51 determines that the C-line status is set (when S251 is a YES determination), the main CPU 51 determines whether the operation stop button at the second stop is the middle stop button or not. It discriminates (S252).

  In S252, when the main CPU 51 determines that the operation stop button at the second stop time is the middle stop button (when the determination in S252 is YES), the main CPU 51 rotates the line mask data to the right twice (S253) ). If it is a forward press and the operation stop button at the second stop is the middle stop button, the operation stop button at the third stop will be the right stop button. Therefore, the line mask data is changed from "00000010" to "10000000" by the process of S253. As a result, the sequence of bits 7 corresponding to the "right reel C line data" in the stop table for the forward press second and third stops (see FIGS. 47 to 51) is referred to. Then, after the processing of S253, the main CPU 51 ends the line mask data change processing, and the processing is the flow chart of S220 of the sliding number determination processing (see FIG. 100) or the flowchart of the second and third stop processing (see FIG. 101). Move to the processing of S235 in).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S252 that the operation stop button at the second stop is not the middle stop button (when the determination in S252 is NO), the main CPU 51 rotates the line mask data to the left twice. (S254). If it is a forward press and the operation stop button at the second stop is not the middle stop button, the operation stop button at the third stop becomes the middle stop button. Therefore, the line mask data is changed from "00010000" to "01000000" by the process of S254. As a result, the column of bits 6 corresponding to the "middle reel C line data" of the second / third stop table for stopping at the time of forward pressing is referenced. Then, after the processing of S254, the main CPU 51 ends the line mask data change processing, and the processing is the flow chart of S220 of the sliding number determination processing (see FIG. 100) or the flowchart of the second and third stop processing (see FIG. 101). Move to the processing of S235 in).

  Here, when the main CPU 51 determines that the C-line status is not set in S251 (returning to S251) (when the determination in S251 is NO), the main CPU 51 sets the B-line status. It is determined whether or not there is (S255). When the main CPU 51 determines that the B-line status is not set in S255 (when S255 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the line mask data change processing, and the number of sliding symbols determination processing (FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S220 in step 100) or step S235 in the flowchart of the second and third stop processing (see FIG. 101).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the B-line status is set in S255 (when the determination in S255 is YES), the main CPU 51 rotates the line mask data to the right once (S256). By this processing, for example, when the line mask data is "00000010", it is changed to "00000001". As a result, the column corresponding to “B line data” in the stop table (see FIGS. 47 to 51) is referred to. Then, after the processing of S256, the main CPU 51 ends the line mask data change processing, and the processing is the flow chart of S220 of the sliding number determination processing (see FIG. 100) or the flowchart of the second and third stop processing (see FIG. 101). Move to the processing of S235 in).

[Priority pull-in control processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 104, the priority attraction-in control process performed in S221 in the flowchart of the slide number determination process (see FIG. 100) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets a search order table (see FIG. 58) according to the gaming state (S261). Next, the main CPU 51 sets initial values for the search order counter and the number of checks (S262). Specifically, the main CPU 51 sets “1” as an initial value in the search order counter. Further, the main CPU 51 sets the data length of the search order table as an initial value to the number of checks. Specifically, "5" is set as an initial value of the number of checks.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets the top address of the stop order table (not shown), and adds the address of the search order table based on the sliding piece number determination data (S263).

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the value of the search order counter (S264). Next, the main CPU 51 adds the acquired number of sliding symbols to the predicted start-time stop address, and acquires pull-in priority data (S265).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the pull-in priority data acquired in S265 exceeds the previously acquired pull-in priority data (S266). In S266, when the main CPU 51 determines that the retraction priority data acquired in S265 does not exceed the retraction priority data acquired earlier (in the case of NO determination in S266), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S268 described later. Do.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S266 that the pull-in priority data acquired in S265 exceeds the pull-in priority data acquired earlier (in the case of YES determination in S266), the main CPU 51 slips acquired in S264 The number of frames is retracted (S267).

  Next, the main CPU 51 subtracts one from the number of checks and adds one to the search order counter (S268).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the number of checks is “0” (S269). In S269, when the main CPU 51 determines that the number of checks is not “0” (when S269 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S264, and repeats the processes of S264 and subsequent steps.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S269 that the number of checks is "0" (when the determination in S269 is YES), the main CPU 51 restores the number of sliding symbols retracted (S270). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the priority attraction-in control process, and also ends the number-of-sliding-pieces determination process (see FIG. 100).

Control change processing
Next, with reference to FIG. 105, the control change process performed in S202 in the flowchart of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 99) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether it is after the third stop (S281). In S281, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is after the third stop (when the determination in S281 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the control change process, and the process proceeds to S203 of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 99). Transfer to

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S281 that it is not after the third stop (when the determination in S281 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether it is after the second stop (S282). When the main CPU 51 determines in S282 that the second stop has been made (when the determination in S282 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs a second post-stop control process (S283). The details of the second post-shutdown control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 106 described later. Then, after the processing of S283, the main CPU 51 ends the control change processing, and shifts the processing to S203 of the reel stop control processing (see FIG. 99).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S282 that the second stop has not been made (in the case of NO determination in S282), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not forward pressing is performed (S284). In S284, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is not a forward push (when S284 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the control change processing and shifts the processing to S203 of the reel stop control processing (see FIG. 99). .

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S284 that the forward pressing is performed (when the S284 is a YES determination), the main CPU 51 sets the forward pressing control change table (see FIGS. 43 to 46) and the number of searches. (S285).

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires a planned stop position (S286). Then, the main CPU 51 updates the change target position according to the acquired planned stop position (S287).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the change target position updated in S287 matches the planned stop position (S288). When the main CPU 51 determines in S288 that the updated change target position does not match the planned stop position (when the determination in S 288 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether the number of searches is “0”. (S289). In S289, when the main CPU 51 determines that the number of searches is not “0” (when the determination in S289 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S287, and repeats the process from S287.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S289 that the number of searches is "0" (when the determination in S289 is YES), the main CPU 51 advances the value of the table change initial data at the time of forward pressing. The third stop table number is obtained as the third stop table number and the corresponding stop table is set (S290). Next, the main CPU 51 sets "0" in the change status (S291). Then, after the processing of S291, the main CPU 51 ends the control change processing, and shifts the processing to S203 of the reel stop control processing (see FIG. 99).

  Here, returning to the process of S288 again, when the main CPU 51 determines in S288 that the updated change target position matches the planned stop position (when the determination in S288 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines that the line change status is The forward push second / third stop table number corresponding to the value and the C line check data are acquired (S 292). Next, the main CPU 51 sets the corresponding stop table based on the forward press second and third stop table numbers for stop (S293). Then, after the processing of S293, the main CPU 51 ends the control change processing, and shifts the processing to S203 of the reel stop control processing (see FIG. 99).

[Control change processing after second stop]
Next, with reference to FIG. 106, the second post-stop control change processing performed in S283 in the flowchart of the control change processing (see FIG. 105) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not forward pressing is performed (S301). When the main CPU 51 determines that the forward pressing is not performed in S301 (when the determination in S301 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the control change processing after the second stop and also ends the control change processing.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S301 that the main CPU 51 is the forward push (when the determination in S301 is YES), whether the C-line check data is on (the change status is "3") or not It is determined (S302). The C-line check data is acquired by the process of S292 of the control change process (see FIG. 105). When the main CPU 51 determines in step S302 that the C line check data is not on (when the determination in step S302 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the control change processing after the second stop and also ends the control change processing. Do.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the C line check data is on in S302 (when the determination in S302 is YES), the main CPU 51 turns on the line change bit corresponding to the stop start position at the second stop. It is determined whether or not (S303). When the main CPU 51 determines in S303 that the line change bit corresponding to the stop start position at the second stop is not on (when the determination in S303 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the second post-stop control change process. At the same time, the control change process ends.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the line change bit corresponding to the stop start position at the second stop is on in S303 (when the determination in S303 is YES), the main CPU 51 stores the stored data. "1" is added to the second and third stop table numbers for stop, and the corresponding stop table is set (S304). Next, the main CPU 51 sets the C-line status (S305). Then, after the processing of S305, the main CPU 51 ends the second post-stop control change processing, and also ends the control change processing.

[Paid search process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 107, the winning search process performed in S12 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described. In the winning search process, a process of determining whether or not to continue the gaming in the ART state is performed by lottery, and this process is executed by the main control circuit 41. That is, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 doubles as means for executing continuous lottery of ART (special game continued lottery means).

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not a combination related to replay has won (S311). In S311, when the main CPU 51 determines that the combination relating to the replay is not winning (when the determination of S311 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S313 described later. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S311 that the role associated with the replay is winning (when the determination in S311 is YES), the main CPU 51 makes an automatic medal insertion request (S312).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is an internal winning combination relating to the abbreviation “F_rip G9” (an internal winning combination corresponding to the small combination / replay data pointer “30”. See FIG. 23) S313). In S313, when the main CPU 51 determines that the internal winning combination is not a combination relating to the abbreviation “F_rip G9” (when the determination in S313 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S317 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the internal winning combination is the combination related to the abbreviation “F_rip G9” in S313 (when the determination in S313 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines that the “clown match” symbol combination is effective. It is determined whether it is displayed on the line (S314). When the main CPU 51 determines in S314 that the symbol combination of “clown perfect” is displayed on the activated line (when the determination in S314 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S317 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S314 that the symbol combination of "clown alignment" is not displayed on the effective line (the symbol combination of "clown alignment" is missed) (in the case of NO determination in S314) The main CPU 51 updates the drop flag to “1” (S315). Next, the main CPU 51 updates the value of the reel effect counter to "1" (S316).

  After the processing of S316, if S313 is NO or if S314 is YES, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the “RT5 transition player” has won (S317). Note that the “RT5 transition role combination” is a replay role combination that is defined when the RT state is transitioned to the RT5 state (“simulated bonus”), which is defined in the RT transition table of FIG. "Replay B" ("C_BB Lip 01" to "C_BB Lip 13" in the symbol combination table shown in Figs. 7 to 20), "Replay R" ("C_RB lip in the symbol combination table shown in Figs. 7 to 20. 01 ”to“ C_RB Lip 13 ”,“ Replay P ”(“ C_PB Lip 01 ”to“ C_PB Lip 09 ”in the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 7 to 20),“ Replay 6 ”(FIGS. 7 to 20) "C_RT5 Lip 01" to "C_RT5 Lip 18" etc. in the symbol combination table shown in FIG.

  In S317, when the main CPU 51 determines that the "RT5 transition combination" has not won (S317 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the winning search processing, and the main flow (see FIG. 87). Move to S13.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the “RT5 transition player” has won in S317 (when the determination in S317 is YES), that is, when the gaming state shifts to the “simulated bonus” (ART state), the main CPU 51 Performs the ART continuous lottery process (S318). In this process, the main CPU 51 refers to the ART continuation lottery table of FIG. 74 and acquires values (“0” to “5”) of the ART continuation occurrence flag and counter by lottery.

  Next, the main CPU 51 updates the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag and counter with the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag and counter acquired in S319 (S319). Then, after the processing of S319, the main CPU 51 ends the winning search processing, and shifts the processing to S13 of the main flow (see FIG. 87).

[RT control processing]
Next, RT control processing performed in S14 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the RT control process described below is performed by the main control circuit 41. That is, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 doubles as means for executing RT control processing (replay time state control means).

  First, the main CPU 51 refers to the RT transition table (see FIG. 21) and checks transition conditions of the RT state which can be established in the RT state of the transition source (current) (S321).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the transition condition of the RT state is satisfied (S322). When the main CPU 51 determines that the transition condition of the RT state is not satisfied in S322 (when the determination of S322 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S324 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the transition condition of the RT state is satisfied in S322 (when the determination in S322 is YES), the main CPU 51 refers to the RT transition table (see FIG. 21) and transitions conditions. The RT state flag of the transition destination is set to a predetermined bit of the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 61) based on the above to update the gaming state flag storage area (S323).

  In the present embodiment, although not shown, the main RAM 53 is provided with a gaming state flag storage area storage area for storing the RT transition state. In the gaming state flag storage area storage area, information on two RT states can be stored, and information on an RT state before transition and information on an RT state after transition can be stored.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the transition of the RT state is a transition from the RT3 state to the RT1 state (S324). That is, in this process, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the gaming state has fallen from “due to pseudo BB flag” to “normal state”.

  In S324, when the main CPU 51 determines that the transition of the RT state is not a transition from the RT3 state to the RT1 state (when the determination of S324 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S326 described later. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the transition of the RT state is the transition from the RT3 state to the RT1 state in S324 (when the S324 is a YES determination), that is, the gaming state is "from pseudo BB flag" to " When the main CPU 51 has fallen to the normal state, the main CPU 51 updates the value of the inter-flag transition identifier to “1” (S 325).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the transition of the RT state is a transition from the RT4 state to the RT1 state (S326). That is, in this process, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the gaming state falls from "due to pseudo RB flag" to "the normal state". When the main CPU 51 determines in S326 that the transition of the RT state is not a transition from the RT4 state to the RT1 state (S326 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S328 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the transition of the RT state is the transition from the RT4 state to the RT1 state in S326 (when the S326 is YES determination), that is, the gaming state is "from pseudo RB flag" to " If the main CPU 51 has fallen to the normal state, the main CPU 51 updates the value of the inter-flag transition identifier to “2” (S 327).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the transition of the RT state is a transition from the RT1 state to the RT6 state (S328). That is, in this process, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the gaming state has shifted to the “pseudo bonus relief state” after falling from “the pseudo BB flag” or “the RB flag” to the “normal state”. . When the main CPU 51 determines in S328 that the transition of the RT state is not a transition from the RT1 state to the RT6 state (when the determination in S328 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S330 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the transition of the RT state is the transition from the RT1 state to the RT6 state in S328 (when the S328 is a YES determination), that is, the gaming state is "between simulated BB flags" or " If the state changes from “between RB flags” to “normal state” and shifts to “simulated bonus relief state”, the main CPU 51 updates the relief flag to “1” (S329). The relief flag is a flag indicating whether or not the RT state has shifted from the RT1 state to the RT6 state by the relief measure, and is stored in the main RAM 53. When the relief flag is “1”, the reel effect (“pseudo-bonus bonus show-off effect”) is performed in the first game in the transitioned RT6 state.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs display command transmission processing (S330). Specifically, the main CPU 51 transmits a display command to the sub control circuit 42. The display command is configured to include parameters for specifying a display combination, the number of payouts, and the like. Then, after the processing of S330, the main CPU 51 ends the RT control processing, and shifts the processing to S15 of the main flow (see FIG. 87).

[RT game number processing]
Next, the number-of-RT-games processing performed in S15 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described with reference to FIG. During the RT game number process, the additional lottery process of the ART game number using the additional lottery table is performed, and this process is executed by the main control circuit 41. That is, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 doubles as a unit (game number addition / lottery unit) for executing the additional lottery processing of the number of ART games.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether the RT state is the RT5 state (S341). In S341, when the main CPU 51 determines that the RT state is not the RT5 state (when S341 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S347 described later. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S341 that the RT state is the RT5 state (when the determination in S341 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether the value of the ART game number counter is "1" or more. It discriminates (S342). The ART game number counter is a counter for managing the number of ART games in the main control circuit 41, and is provided in the main RAM 53.

  When the main CPU 51 determines in S342 that the value of the ART game number counter is not "1" or more (when the determination in S342 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S347 described later. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S 342 that the value of the ART game number counter is “1” or more (when the determination in S 342 is YES), the main CPU 51 triggers the execution of the additional lottery. Whether or not the internal winning is judged (S343).

  In the present embodiment, in the game during the “simulation bonus”, the small part (small part and replay data pointer “31” to “51” (abbreviated to “F_bell ALL”, “F_middle bell”) related to “bell” 1) to “F_Bell 4”, “F_right bell 1” to “F_right bell 4”)), when the internal winning combination is won, the number of ART games is increased and lottery is performed. Therefore, in S343, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the small winning combination associated with "BELL" has been won internally.

  When the main CPU 51 determines in S343 that the “specific combination” has not been won internally (in the case of NO determination in S343), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S347 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S343 that the "specific combination" is internally won (if the determination in S343 is YES), the main CPU 51 selects the ART game based on the additional lottery table (see FIG. 73). A number-plus lottery is performed (S344). Through this process, values (“0” to “11”) of the additional occurrence flag and type corresponding to the number of additional games are acquired. Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the value of the additional occurrence flag / type acquired in S344 is “1” or more (S345).

  When the main CPU 51 determines in S345 that the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is not "1" or more (when the determination in S345 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S347 described later. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is "1" or more in S345 (when S345 is YES), that is, when winning the reel effect described above, the main CPU 51 The value of the additional occurrence flag and type obtained by the additional lottery in S344 is stored in the reel effect counter (S346).

  After the processing of S346, or if S341, S342, S343 or S345 is NO, the main CPU 51 performs ART game number addition processing (S347). In this process, the main CPU 51 performs addition processing of the ART game number counter according to, for example, the current winning condition, various flags, the value of the discriminator, and the like. The details of the ART game number addition process will be described later with reference to FIG. 110 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the value of the ART game number counter is “1” or more (S348). In S348, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the ART game number counter is not “1” or more (S348 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the RT game number processing, and the main flow (FIG. Move to S16 of 87).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S348 that the value of the ART game number counter is “1” or more (when the determination in S348 is YES), the main CPU 51 subtracts 1 from the value of the ART game number counter ( S 349). Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the ART game number counter (ART game number) after subtraction is “0” (S350).

  In S350, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the ART game number counter is not “0” (S350 is NO determination), the main CPU 51 ends the RT game number process and the main flow (FIG. 87). Move to S16 of reference). On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the ART game number counter is "0" in S350 (when the determination of S350 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag / counter is "1". It is determined whether or not it is above (S351).

  When the main CPU 51 determines in S 351 that the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag and counter is not “1” or more (S 351 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the RT game number processing, and the processing is the main flow. Move to S16 (see FIG. 87).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag / counter is "1" or more in S351 (when the determination of S351 is YES), the main CPU 51 sets the value of the reel effect counter to "1". (S352). Next, the main CPU 51 adds "100" to the value of the ART game number counter (S353). Then, after the processing of S353, the main CPU 51 ends the RT game number processing, and shifts the processing to S16 of the main flow (see FIG. 87).

[ART game number addition processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 110, the ART game number addition process performed in S347 in the flowchart of the RT game number process (see FIG. 109) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the combination relating to “Replay B” (“C_BB Lip 01” to “C_BB Lip 13” in the symbol combination table shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 20) is won (S361) . In S361, when the main CPU 51 determines that the part associated with "Replay B" has won (the symbol combination corresponding to the part associated with "Replay B" is stopped and displayed on the active line) (S361: YES) The main CPU 51 adds “101” to the value of the ART game number counter (S362).

  In the present embodiment, when the combination related to "Replay B" is won and "simulated bonus" is started, the number of ART games is increased by 100, however, the number of ART games is selected in S349 of the RT game processing of FIG. The value of the counter is decremented by one. Therefore, in S362, a value (101) obtained by adding 1 to the addition game number 100 of the "pseudo-bonus" (101) is added to the ART game number counter. Also, in each of the various addition processing (S364, S366, S368, S370, S372 and S374) of the ART game number counter described below, a value obtained by adding 1 to the corresponding addition game number is an ART game for the same reason. Add to the value of the number counter.

  Then, after the processing of S362, the main CPU 51 ends the ART game number addition processing, and shifts the processing to S348 of the flowchart of RT game number processing (see FIG. 109).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S361 that the part associated with "Replay B" has not won (if S361 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines the part associated with "Replay R" (FIGS. 7 and 7). It is determined whether "C_RB lip 01" to "C_RB lip 13" in the symbol combination table shown in 20 has won (S363).

  In S363, when the main CPU 51 determines that the part associated with "Replay R" has won (the symbol combination corresponding to the part associated with "Replay R" is stopped and displayed on the active line) (S363: YES) The main CPU 51 adds “51” to the value of the ART game number counter (S364). Then, after the processing of S364, the main CPU 51 ends the ART game number addition processing, and shifts the processing to S348 of the flowchart of RT game number processing (see FIG. 109).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S363 that the role associated with “Replay R” has not been won (S363 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines the role associated with “Replay P” (FIGS. 7 and 7). It is determined whether "C_PB Lip 01" to "C_PB Lip 09" in the symbol combination table shown in 20 has won (S365).

  In S365, when the main CPU 51 determines that the part associated with "Replay P" has won (the symbol combination corresponding to the part associated with "Replay P" is stopped and displayed on the active line) (S365 shows YES) The main CPU 51 adds “251” to the value of the ART game number counter (S366). Then, after the processing of S366, the main CPU 51 ends the ART game number addition processing, and shifts the processing to S348 of the flowchart of RT game number processing (see FIG. 109).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S365 that the part associated with “Replay P” has not won (S365 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines that the inter-flag transition discriminator is “2” It is determined whether or not it has been updated to "0" (S367).

  In S367, when the main CPU 51 determines that the inter-flag transition discriminator has been updated from "2" to "0" (when S367 is YES), that is, the gaming state is "from simulated RB flags" to " After falling to the normal state, if the gaming state is shifted to the “simulated bonus relief state” by the relief measure, the main CPU 51 adds “51” to the value of the ART game number counter (S 368). Then, after the processing of S368, the main CPU 51 ends the ART game number addition processing, and shifts the processing to S348 of the flowchart of RT game number processing (see FIG. 109).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S367 that the inter-flag transition discriminator is not updated from “2” to “0” (S367 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines the inter-flag transition time. It is determined whether the child has been updated from "1" to "0" (S369).

  In S369, when the main CPU 51 determines that the inter-flag transition time discriminator has been updated from "1" to "0" (when S369 is YES), that is, the gaming state is "from pseudo BB flag" to " After falling to the normal state, if the gaming state is shifted to the “simulated bonus relief state” by the relief measure, the main CPU 51 adds “101” to the value of the ART game number counter (S370). Then, after the processing of S370, the main CPU 51 ends the ART game number addition processing, and shifts the processing to S348 of the flowchart of RT game number processing (see FIG. 109).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S369 that the inter-flag transition time discriminator is not updated from “1” to “0” (S369: NO), the main CPU 51 has a drop flag “1”. It is determined whether or not "" is updated to "0" (S371).

  In S371, when the main CPU 51 determines that the drop flag is updated from "1" to "0" (the symbol combination of "pair of clowns" is stopped and displayed on the effective line) (S371 is determined as YES) The main CPU 51 adds “251” to the value of the ART game number counter (S372). Then, after the processing of S372, the main CPU 51 ends the ART game number addition processing and shifts the processing to S348 of the flow chart of RT game number processing (see FIG. 109).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the drop flag is not updated from “1” to “0” in S 371 (in the case of NO determination in S 371), the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the overlay occurrence flag and type is “ It is determined whether or not it is 2 "or more (S373). In S373, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the additional occurrence flag / type is not “2” or more (when S373 is NO), that is, when the additional lottery for the number of ART games is not won, the main CPU 51 The ART game number addition process is ended, and the process proceeds to S348 in the flowchart of the RT game number process (see FIG. 109).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is “2” or more in S 373 (when the determination in S 373 is YES), that is, when the winning lottery for ART game number is won, the main The CPU 51 adds a value obtained by adding 1 to the number of ART added games (50 to 500) corresponding to the value of the additional generation flag and type to the value of the ART game number counter (S374). Then, after the processing of S374, the main CPU 51 ends the ART game number addition processing, and shifts the processing to S348 of the flow chart of RT game number processing (see FIG. 109).

[End of game effect control process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 111, the end-of-game effect control process performed at S16 in the main flow (see FIG. 87) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the inter-flag transition identifier is “1” or “2” (S 381). When the main CPU 51 determines in S 381 that the inter-flag transition time discriminator value is not “1” or “2” (when S 381 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the game end time processing process. Then, the process proceeds to S17 of the main flow (see FIG. 87).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the inter-flag transition discriminator is “1” or “2” at S 381 (when S 381 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines that the relief flag is “1”. It is determined whether or not (S382). When the main CPU 51 determines in S 382 that the relief flag is not “1” (S 382 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the processing at the end of the game and the main flow (see FIG. 87). Move to S17.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the relief flag is "1" in S382 (if YES in S382), the main CPU 51 updates the value of the reel effect counter to "1" (S383). Next, the main CPU 51 updates the relief flag to "0" (S384). Then, after the processing of S384, the main CPU 51 ends the processing at the time of game end effect, and shifts the processing to S17 of the main flow (see FIG. 87).

[Interrupt process under control of main CPU (1.1172 msec)]

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs timer update processing (S393). In this process, the main CPU 51 performs, for example, a process of subtracting the value of the lock timer for each interrupt process. Next, the main CPU 51 performs communication data transmission processing (S394). In this process, various commands are mainly transmitted to the main control circuit 41 and the sub control circuit 42 as appropriate.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs reel control processing (S395). In this process, the main CPU 51 starts the rotation of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R when required to start the rotation of all the reels, and then rotates each reel at a constant speed, The drive control of the three stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R is performed. When the number of sliding symbols is determined, the main CPU 51 updates the symbol counter of the corresponding reel by the number of sliding symbols. Then, the main CPU 51 waits for the updated symbol counter to match the value corresponding to the planned stop position (the symbol at the planned stop position reaches the area on the effective line of the display window), and for the corresponding reel. The drive control of the corresponding stepping motor is performed so that the rotation is decelerated and stopped. Further, in the present embodiment, various reel effects (reel action effects and symbol display effects) described above are performed during reel acceleration processing of the RT5 state or RT6 state game as well as normal acceleration processing, constant speed processing and stop processing. When is set, the control processing of the reel effect is also performed.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether a command different from the previous one has been received (S403). In S403, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the command different from the previous one is not received (S403 is NO determination), the sub CPU 81 returns the process to S 401 and repeats the processes of S 401 and subsequent steps.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S403 that the sub CPU 81 receives a command different from the previous one (if YES in S403), the sub CPU 81 stores a message in the message queue based on the received command (S404). ). The message queue is a mechanism for exchanging information between processes. Then, after the process of S404, the sub CPU 81 returns the process to S401, and repeats the processes of S401 and thereafter.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is time to receive a start command (S421).

  In S421, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the start command has been received (when the determination in S 421 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs processing when receiving the start command (S 422). In this process, the sub CPU 81 extracts a random number for effect, and determines and registers an effect number by lottery based on an internal winning combination and the like. Here, the effect number is data for specifying the content of the effect to be executed this time. The details of the start command reception process will be described later with reference to FIG. 116 described later.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 registers effect data at the time of start according to the registered effect number (S423). The effect data is data specifying animation data, sound data and lamp data. Therefore, when the effect data is registered, the corresponding animation data and the like are determined, and the effect such as the display of an image is executed. Then, after the process of S423, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process, and shifts the process to S415 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 114).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S421 that the start command has not been received (when the determination in S421 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether the reel stop command has been received (S424).

  In S424, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the reel stop command has been received (when the determination in S 424 is YES), the sub CPU 81 determines the stop time according to the registered effect number and the type of the operation stop button. The effect data is registered (S425). Thereafter, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination processing, and shifts the processing to S415 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 114).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S424 that the reel stop command has not been received (when the determination in S424 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether the display command is received (S426).

  In S426, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the display command is received (when the determination in S 426 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs processing when receiving the display command (S 427). The details of the display command reception process will be described later with reference to FIG. 118 described later.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 registers effect data at the time of display according to the registered effect number and display combination (S428). Thereafter, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination processing, and shifts the processing to S415 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 114).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S426 that the display command has not been received (when the determination in S426 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether the payout end command has been received (S429). In S429, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the payout end command is received (when the determination in S 429 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs a payout end command reception process (S430). Then, after the process of S430, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process, and moves the process to S415 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 114).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S429 that the payout end command is not received (S429: NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether the pseudo bonus start command is received (S431).

  In S431, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the pseudo bonus start command is received (when the determination in S 431 is YES), the sub CPU 81 registers effect data for pseudo bonus start (S 432). Thereafter, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination processing, and shifts the processing to S415 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 114).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S431 that it is not at the time of receiving the pseudo bonus start command (when S431 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is at the time of receiving the pseudo bonus end command (S433). . In S433, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the pseudo bonus end command has not been received (when the determination in S 433 is NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination processing, and the processing is an effect registration task (see FIG. 114). Move to S415 of

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S433 that the pseudo bonus end command has been received (YES in S433), the sub CPU 81 registers effect data for the end of the pseudo bonus (S434). Then, after the process of S434, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process, and moves the process to S415 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 114).

[Process when receiving start command]
Next, with reference to FIG. 116, the start command reception process performed in S422 in the flowchart of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 115) will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the gaming state is the “normal gaming state” (“initial state”, “normal state” or “chance zone”) (S 441).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines that the gaming state is not the “normal gaming state” in S 441 (in the case of NO determination in S 441), the sub CPU 81 performs the processing of S 443 described later. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the gaming state is the “normal gaming state” in S 441 (when the determination in S 441 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs processing during the normal gaming state (S 442). The details of the processing in the normal gaming state will be described later with reference to FIG. 117 described later.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs AT processing (S443). In this process, if the gaming state is "ART preparation state" ("simulated bonus high probability state", "simulated BB flag between" or "simulated RB flag between"), the sub CPU 81 simulates the gaming state. The navigation is performed so that the symbol combination relating to the replay role ("Replay B" or "Replay R") for transitioning to the bonus "is stopped and displayed on the activated line. Further, when the gaming state is "ART state", that is, when the gaming state is "simulated bonus" or "simulated bonus rescue state", the sub CPU 81 is effective when the symbol combination of the small combination related to the payout of the medal is effective. Perform navigation so that it is displayed stopped on the line. Furthermore, in the process of S443, the sub CPU 81 manages the number of ART games grasped by the main CPU 51, and also displays the subtraction operation when subtracting the number of ART games.

  Then, after the process of S443, the sub CPU 81 ends the process at the time of start command reception, and shifts the process to S423 of the flowchart of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 115).

[Process during normal gaming state]
Next, with reference to FIG. 117, processing during the normal gaming state performed in S442 in the flowchart of the processing at the time of start command reception (see FIG. 116) will be described. In the normal game state processing, processing is performed to count the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination and manage the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination, and this process is executed by the sub control circuit 42. That is, in the present embodiment, the sub control circuit 42 doubles as a means (predetermined winning combination continuous counting number counting means) for counting the continuous winning number of the replay combination.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the internal winning combination is a replay combination (S451). Specifically, sub CPU 81, the internal winning combination, the data pointer "2" to "9" ("F_ Lip G1A" to "F_ Lip G3 _ 321") for the small part and replay in the internal lottery table of FIG. “: Replay G1”, “Replay G2”, “Replay G3”), and “22” to “30” (“F_Rip G8_1XXA” to “F_Rip G9”: “Replay G8”, “Replay G9”) It is determined whether or not the internal winning combination corresponding to any of.

  In S451, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the internal winning combination is not the replay role (when the determination of S 451 is NO), the sub CPU 81 performs the processing of S 456 described later. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the internal winning combination is the replay role (when the determination in S 451 is YES), the sub CPU 81 adds 1 to the value of the replay counter (S 452).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 refers to the replay consecutive winning time AT lottery table (see FIG. 71) based on the information of the current mode ("normal mode", "high probability mode" or "super high probability mode") and AT Perform a lottery (S453). Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether AT lottery has been won (S454).

  In S454, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the AT lottery has been won (when the determination in S 454 is YES), the sub CPU 81 turns on the ART transition navigation flag (S 455). By this processing, the sub CPU 81 sets a navigation for shifting the RT state to the RT2 state ("simulated bonus high probability state"). Then, after the processing of S455, the sub CPU 81 ends the processing during the normal gaming state, and shifts the processing to S443 of the flow chart of the start command reception processing (see FIG. 116).

  On the other hand, if the sub CPU 81 determines in S454 that the AT lottery has not won (if S454 is NO), or if S451 is NO, the sub CPU 81 sets the value of the replay counter to "0". To (S456). Then, after the processing of S456, the sub CPU 81 ends the processing during the normal gaming state, and shifts the processing to S443 of the flowchart of the processing at start command reception (see FIG. 116).

[Process when receiving display command]
Next, with reference to FIG. 118, the process at the time of display command reception performed in S427 in the flowchart of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 115) will be described. In the display command reception process, a process of comparing the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination with the number of consecutive wins of the replay combination is performed, and this process is executed by the sub control circuit 42. That is, in the present embodiment, the sub control circuit 42 doubles as a means (continuous winning number comparing means) for comparing the continuous winning number of the replay combination with the continuous winning number of the replay combination. Further, in the process at the time of display command reception, mode transition lottery processing is also performed, and this process is executed by the sub control circuit 42. That is, in the present embodiment, the sub control circuit 42 doubles as means (lottery mode selection means) for executing the mode transition lottery processing.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the gaming state is the “normal gaming state” (“initial state”, “normal state” or “chance zone”) (S461). In S 461, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the gaming state is not the “normal gaming state” (in the case of NO determination in S 461), the sub CPU 81 performs the processing of S 465 described later.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the gaming state is “normal gaming state” in S 461 (when S 461 is YES determination), the sub CPU 81 determines “simulated bonus start symbol combination” on the activated line. It is determined whether it is displayed (S462).

  In addition, "when the start symbol combination of the pseudo bonus is displayed" mentioned here means, as the display combination (winning), "the start symbol combination of the pseudo bonus" ("seven red match", "RB match" or "clown" Not only does the symbol combination of “match” be stopped and displayed on the effective line, but also includes the case where “simulation bonus start symbol combination” is displayed in the reel effect performed at the time of reel acceleration processing.

  In S462, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the "simulation bonus start symbol combination" is not displayed (when the determination of S 462 is NO), the sub CPU 81 performs the processing of S 465 described later.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the "simulation bonus start symbol combination" is displayed in S462 (if YES in S462), that is, the gaming state shifts to the "pseudo bonus" (ART state). In the case where it is determined, the sub CPU 81 performs mode shift lottery (S463). In this process, the sub CPU 81 determines the lottery value corresponding to the value of each replay counter defined in the replay continuous winning AT lottery table (see FIG. 71) ("normal mode", "high probability mode") And “very high probability mode” is determined with reference to the mode lottery table shown in FIG. That is, in this embodiment, a mode for determining the probability of winning the AT (the probability of winning the transition navigation to the RT2 state) at the time of replay continuous winning is set by this processing. Then, in the present embodiment, in the “normal gaming state” after the end of the “pseudo-bonus”, the set mode is again displayed with the symbol combination serving as the start trigger of the “pseudo-bonus” and the mode transition lottery is performed. Until maintained.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 turns off the ART transition navigation flag (S464). Then, after the processing of S464, the sub CPU 81 ends the processing at the time of display command reception, and shifts the processing to S428 of the flowchart of the effect content determination processing (see FIG. 115).

  If the determination in S461 or S462 is NO, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the display combination is the display combination related to "Replay" (S465). In S465, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the display combination is not the display combination relating to "Replay" (when the determination in S 465 is NO), the sub CPU 81 updates the value of the sub replay counter to "0" (S 469) . The sub replay counter is a counter for managing the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination in the sub control circuit 42, and is provided in the sub RAM 83. Then, after the processing of S469, the sub CPU 81 ends the processing at the time of display command reception, and shifts the processing to S428 of the flowchart of the effect content determination processing (see FIG. 115).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S465 that the display combination is the display combination relating to "Replay" (if the determination in S465 is YES), the sub CPU 81 adds 1 to the sub replay counter (S466). Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the value of the replay counter is equal to the value of the sub replay counter (S467). By this processing, it can be determined whether or not the display combination is equal to the internal winning combination.

  In S467, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the replay counter is equal to the value of the sub replay counter (when S 467 is YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the processing at the time of display command reception, and determines the processing content The processing proceeds to step S428 in the processing flowchart (see FIG. 115).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S 467 that the value of the replay counter is not equal to the value of the sub replay counter (when the determination of S 467 is NO), the sub CPU 81 performs error notification (S 468). Then, after the processing of S468, the sub CPU 81 ends the processing at the time of display command reception, and shifts the processing to S428 of the flowchart of the effect content determination processing (see FIG. 115).

<Various effects>
Here, various features of the pachi slot 1 of the present embodiment and various effects obtained thereby will be collectively described.

[Various effects obtained by reel production]
(1) Effects of “Clown Dropout Effect” and “Pseudo Bonus Prize Spoofing Effect” As described above, in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, for example, “Replay G9” (Toward number “30”: abbreviated “F_ Lip G9”) When the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role ("Replay P" and "Replay 6") included in is stopped and displayed on the activated line (when winning), the gaming state is "ART state"("simulatedbonus") Migrate to At this time, in the present embodiment, a symbol combination other than the symbol combination of “clown perfect” is also set as the symbol combination relating to the replay role included in “Replay G9”. Therefore, if the symbol combination of "clown match" can not be displayed on the effective line (when the symbol combination of "clown match" is missed) while the replay player included in "replay G9" is internally won Even if there is a symbol combination other than "clown match" related to the replay role included in "Replay G9" being stopped and displayed on the active line, the gaming state shifts to "ART state"("pseudobonus") .

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state shifts to the "ART state" in such a transition form, the reel acceleration process of the unit game (ART start game) of the unit game in which "replay G9" is won is performed. , Reel effect ("Clown dropout effect") to display the symbol combination of "clown perfect" ("simulation bonus start symbol combination") on the effective line (center line), the gaming state shifts to "ART state" Inform the player of what has been done.

  Also, in the present embodiment, as described above, the “design pattern of start of pseudo bonus” (“red 7 set”) or “simulated bonus start pattern” in a predetermined “ART preparation state” (“between pseudo BB flags” or “between pseudo RB flags”) If the symbol combination “RB aligned” is not displayed on the activated line, and the symbol combination relating to “special bell missing” is displayed on the activated line, the gaming state falls to the “normal state”. However, after that, when the symbol combination related to "Replay 4" is stopped and displayed on the effective line in the "normal state" by the rescue measure, the gaming state shifts to the "ART state" ("simulated bonus relief state") .

  And in this embodiment, when it transfers to "ART state" by such a transition form, in the reel acceleration process of the unit game (the start game of ART) of the unit game in which "Replay 4" was won, Reel effect ("pseudo bonus prize winning" to display on the center line "start symbol combination of pseudo bonus" (symbol combination of "seven red" or "same as RB") corresponding to the type of "art preparation state" before the fall The player is notified that the gaming state has transitioned to the “ART state” by performing the “spoofing effect”).

  That is, in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, even if the "start symbol combination of pseudo bonus" can not be stopped and displayed, finally, symbol combinations other than "start symbol combination of pseudo bonus" are stopped and displayed. Thus, the gaming state can be shifted to the "ART state". Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is shifted to the "ART state" due to such a transition route, "the start symbol combination of pseudo bonus" is displayed on the effective line in the reel acceleration process of the starting game of ART. The player is notified that the gaming state has shifted to the "ART state" by performing a reel effect.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, even for players who are unfamiliar with blinding, it is easy for the player to easily recognize that ART is easily given (it is hard to lose) and that the benefit of ART is given by the reel effect. Can. As a result, it is possible to play the game with confidence even for a player who is not accustomed to watching, and it is possible to suppress the decline of the willingness to play and to prevent the game separation. In addition, the decrease in the operating rate of the gaming machine can be suppressed, and the loss of the gaming arcade can be reduced.

  Further, in the “pseudo-bonus-bonuse-spoofing effect” of the present embodiment, the content of the reel effect is changed according to the type of the “ART preparation state” before the fall of the gaming state. Specifically, when the "ART preparation state" before the fall is "between the pseudo BB flags", the symbol display effect of "center line red 7 set" is performed in the "pseudo-bonus bonus show-off effect". On the other hand, when the ART preparation state before the fall is "between the pseudo RB flags", the symbol display effect of "center line RB aligned" is performed in the "pseudo-bonus bonus show-off effect".

  In this case, the player can easily grasp the type of “ART preparation state” before the fall by the reel effect, and can also confirm the contents of the ART to be awarded.

(2) Effects by "Superimposed Effect" As described above, in the pachislot 1 according to the present embodiment, the number of ART games can be obtained when the specific combination (small part of the "bell") is won in the "pseudo bonus" (ART state). Perform a lottery on top of the Then, when winning the extra lottery, the content (symbol combination and display line to be displayed) of the "super presentation effect" is determined based on the number of extra games (value of the additional occurrence flag and type).

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the player can easily confirm the number of ART games added by the “addition effect”. In addition, even if the symbols are not aligned at the start of the rotation of the reel, it is possible to easily display a predetermined symbol combination corresponding to the determined number of added games by the reel effect.

(3) Effects by "Continuous Confirmation Effect" As described above, in the pachislot 1 of this embodiment, ART continuous lottery is performed when the gaming state shifts to "pseudo bonus" (ART state), and the ART continuous lottery is performed. In the case of winning, reel effect ("continuing effect effect") is performed in the reel acceleration process at the start of setting of the next "simulated bonus" to be continued (the next unit game of the final unit game of the current ART set) , Informing the player that the continuation of ART is determined.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is not necessary to separately provide a unit game for performing a reel effect to notify that ART continuation has been determined from the end of the ART gaming period when ART continuation is determined to before the start of the next unit game. . That is, in this embodiment, the ART continuation is determined by the reel effect for the player without putting a useless unit game from the end of the ART gaming period when the ART continuation is determined to the start of the next unit game. It can be informed that you are doing.

[Effect obtained by the lottery value change table for RT1]
As described above, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the lottery value change for changing the setting of the lottery value of the small part and replay data pointer “2” (the winning number “2”: abbreviation “F_rip G1A”) A table (see FIG. 25) is provided. Based on this lottery value change table, the main specific symbols of the left reel 3L (in this embodiment, in FIG. 6) that constitute the display combination that triggers the transition from the "normal gaming state" to the "simulated bonus" (ART state). Changing the probability that "apple 2" at symbol position "5", "red 7" at symbol position "4" and "apple 2" at symbol position "3" are displayed in the middle region of left reel 3L it can.

  Then, in the lottery value change table of this embodiment, it is set such that the lottery value of the small commercial player data data pointer "2" (the winning number "2") increases as the setting value (1 to 6) increases. It is done. Further, in the present embodiment, the set value of the ART game number added lottery table (see FIG. 73) is linked to the set value of the lottery value change table, and the winning probability of the added lottery is also increased as the set value increases. The lottery value is set to increase.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, by increasing the setting numerical value, the occurrence frequency of the "superior effect" increases, and the winning probability of the part serving as the transition trigger to the "pseudo bonus" (ART state) becomes high. . In this case, it is possible to predict the numerical value of the current setting by grasping the frequency at which the specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the left reel 3L in the “simulated bonus”.

[Various effects obtained by the output specification to the external concentrated terminal board]
As described above, in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in the output specification to the external concentrated terminal board in FIG. 86, when a predetermined symbol combination ("simulation bonus start symbol combination") is stopped and displayed. Send an external signal to the external concentration terminal board. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, even when the symbol combination other than the predetermined symbol combination is stopped and displayed and the state is shifted to the ART state, the external concentrated terminal plate is externally signaled when the predetermined symbol combination is displayed by the reel effect. Send.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when the predetermined symbol combination ("the start symbol combination of the pseudo bonus") is not displayed, it is possible to accurately count the number of transitions to the ART state.

  Moreover, in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in the output specification to the external concentrated terminal board in FIG. 86, a predetermined symbol combination is given by “continuation decision effect” (reel effect) performed when continuation of ART is decided. Even when it is displayed, it transmits an external signal to the external concentrated terminal board. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to accurately count the number of ARTs without putting a useless unit game between the end of the ART game period when the ART continuation is determined and the start of the next unit game.

[Various effects obtained by ART transition based on the number of consecutive replays]
As described above, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a function of counting the number of consecutive replay wins in the “normal game state”. In the present embodiment, the probability of transition of the gaming state to the ART state ("simulated bonus") is high when the replay combination has won (acted) a predetermined number of times consecutively ("simulated bonus high probability state" (RT2) Navigation to shift the game state to state). That is, in the present embodiment, when the replay combination has won a predetermined number of times in a row (actuated) continuously, substantially, the grant of the ART is determined.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, a "chance zone" in which the replay player wins with high probability is provided as one of the "normal game states". Therefore, in the "chance zone", the player can play a game with the expectation of ART acquisition.

  In the present embodiment, in the “normal game state”, when the replay winning combination is won a predetermined number of times, the game state is shifted directly from the “normal game state” to the “ART state” (RT5 or RT6 state) Navigation may be performed. Then, when the gaming state is shifted to the "ART state", a predetermined symbol combination ("red 7 set") is displayed on a predetermined line (for example, center line) in the reel acceleration process at the start of ART gaming. Reel effect may be performed. When such a function is provided, the player is notified that the gaming state has shifted directly from the "normal gaming state" ("normal state" or "chance zone") to the "ART state" by this reel effect. It can be easily confirmed.

  Furthermore, in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, three types (lottery tables) having different probabilities of winning in the AT lottery performed at the time of continuous replay are prepared. Specifically, three types of modes, “normal mode”, “high probability mode” and “super high probability mode”, are prepared. Then, this mode selection process (mode lottery process) is performed when the gaming state shifts to the ART state. Therefore, in the “normal game state” (“normal state”) after the end of ART, the player can play a game with the expectation of ART winning.

[Effect obtained by random acceleration processing]
As described above, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, random acceleration processing is performed on each of the reels after the various reel effects for notification are finished. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the reel from rotating in a state where the specific symbol combination is aligned on the effective line after the reel effect. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the difference in winning frequency (advancing degree) of the winning combination between the players.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, in reel random acceleration processing (see FIG. 95), random values for each reel for determining the wait time to be set for each reel are collectively obtained. Do. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the processing for setting the weight time of each reel can be reduced.

[Other effects]
In the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, the secondary control circuit 42 manages information on the winning combination for each unit game, and also manages the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination (replay counter). Specifically, in the start command reception process (see FIG. 116), the information on the winning combination is confirmed, and based on the information on the winning combination, it is determined whether or not the replay combination has won a predetermined number of times consecutively. To be done. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to accurately determine the winning combination information and the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the display command reception process (see FIG. 117), the information of the display combination (winning combination) is confirmed, and the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination (sub replay counter) based on the information of the display combination. Also manage. In the display command reception process, information on the winning combination obtained in the start command reception process (replay counter value) and information on the display combination obtained in the display command reception process (sub replay counter value) The comparison is made to determine whether or not both match (see S 467 in FIG. 117). Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to determine whether or not an illegal act (goto act) has been performed between the game start time and the game end time by this determination process.

  Further, since information on the display combination (prize combination) is determined in the display command reception process, for example, winning combinations such as a combination related to the pressing order of the stop button And it is possible to judge the winnings correctly.

<Various modifications>
The configuration and operation of the gaming machine (pachislot 1) according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be included without departing from the scope of the present invention described in the claims.

[Modification 1]
In the pachi slot 1 of the above embodiment, in random acceleration processing of reels performed after reel production, all the random number values for each reel for determining the time of the weight operation performed for each reel are collectively acquired before the acceleration processing of the reels. Although an example (see FIG. 95) has been described, the present invention is not limited thereto. In the random acceleration process, for example, a random number value for reels corresponding to each acceleration process of each reel may be acquired. In the first modification, an example thereof will be described.

  The internal configuration of the pachi slot 1 in this example, the arrangement, and the configurations of various tables and various storage areas required for various processes are the same as those in the above embodiment, and therefore the description of these configurations is omitted here. In addition, since processes (operations) other than the random acceleration process in this example are the same as those in the above embodiment, the description of those processes will be omitted, and only the random acceleration process will be described.

  The random acceleration processing in this example will be described with reference to FIG. Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, the random acceleration process is performed in S122 in the flowchart of the reel rotation start process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets a reel action pattern 0 (initial value of the reel action pattern) (S471). This process sets the normal acceleration process.

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires a left reel random number value (S 472). Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, the left reel random number value is acquired in the range of 0 to 20.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs acceleration processing of the left reel 3L (S473). In this processing, acceleration processing of the left reel 3L is performed based on the set reel action pattern 0.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets a wait time (period in which the game operation can not be performed) based on the random number for the left reel (S474). By this process, the digest operation of the wait time after the acceleration process of the left reel 3L is started. Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, in S474, the left reel random number value (0 to 20) × 32 × 1.1172 msec is set as the wait time.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the wait time has become 0 msec (S475). In S475, when the main CPU 51 determines that the wait time has not become 0 msec (when the determination in S475 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the determination processing of S475.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S475 that the wait time has become 0 msec (when the determination in S475 is YES), the main CPU 51 acquires a middle reel random number value (S476). Also in this example, the middle reel random number value is acquired in the range of 0 to 20 as in the above embodiment.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs acceleration processing of the middle reel 3C (S477). In this processing, acceleration processing of the middle reel 3C is performed based on the set reel action pattern 0.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets a wait time based on the middle reel random number value (S478). By this process, the digest operation of the wait time after the acceleration process of the middle reel 3C is started. Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, in S478, a random number value (0 to 20) × 32 × 1.1172 msec for the middle reel is set as a wait time.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the wait time has become 0 msec (S479). When the main CPU 51 determines in S479 that the wait time has not become 0 msec (when the determination in S479 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the determination process of S479.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S479 that the wait time has become 0 msec (when the determination in S479 is YES), the main CPU 51 acquires a random value for the right reel (S480). Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, random numbers for the right reel are acquired in the range of 0 to 20.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs acceleration processing of the right reel 3R (S481). In this processing, acceleration processing of the right reel 3R is performed based on the set reel action pattern 0.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets a wait time based on the random number for the right reel (S 482). By this process, the digest operation of the wait time after the acceleration process of the right reel 3R is started. Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, in S482, the right reel random number value (0 to 20) × 32 × 1.1172 msec is set as the wait time.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the wait time has become 0 msec (S483). In S483, when the main CPU 51 determines that the wait time has not become 0 msec (when the determination in S483 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the determination process of S483.

  Then, when the main CPU 51 determines in S483 that the wait time has become 0 msec (when the determination in S483 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the random acceleration processing, and the processing is a flowchart of reel rotation start processing (FIG. 94). Move to S123 in).

  As described above, also in the first modification, it is possible to perform random acceleration processing on each reel after the various reel effects for notification are finished. Therefore, in the first modification, as in the above embodiment, after the reel effect, it is possible to prevent the reel from rotating in a state where the specific symbol combination is aligned on the effective line. As a result, there is no difference in the degree of advantage between the player playing a game with a specific symbol combination and the player playing a game with a specific symbol combination. be able to.

[Modification 2]
In the random acceleration processing of the above embodiment and the first modification, an example in which random numbers are acquired for each reel and the wait time of each reel is randomly set based on the random numbers has been described. It is not limited to. For example, among the wait times set for each reel, the wait time for at least one reel may be set in advance as a predetermined wait time without using a random number value.

  In the second modification, as an example, the wait time for the left reel 3L is set to the minimum wait time (0 msec), and the wait time for the right reel 3R is the maximum wait time (20 × 32 × 1.1172 msec. = 715 msec). In the second modification, the wait time for the middle reel 3C is randomly determined in the range between the minimum time (0 msec) and the maximum time (715 msec) based on the random number value.

  In the random acceleration processing of the above embodiment and the first modification, an example in which the digest operation of the wait time set for the predetermined reel is performed after the acceleration processing of the predetermined reel is completed has been described. It is not limited to this. The digesting operation of the wait time set for the predetermined reel may be performed before the acceleration processing of the predetermined reel. In the second modification, an example will be described in which the digest operation of the wait time set for a predetermined reel is performed before the acceleration processing of the predetermined reel. In the random acceleration process of the second modification described below, as in the random acceleration process of the above embodiment and the first modification, the digest operation of the weight time set for the predetermined reel is performed using the predetermined reel It may be performed after completion of the acceleration processing of

  In addition, since the internal configuration of the pachi slot 1 in this example, the arrangement, and the configurations of various tables and various storage areas necessary for various processes are the same as those of the above embodiment, the description of these configurations is omitted here. In addition, since processes (operations) other than the random acceleration process in this example are the same as those in the above embodiment, the description of those processes will be omitted, and only the random acceleration process will be described.

  The random acceleration processing in this example will be described with reference to FIG. Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, the random acceleration process is performed in S122 in the flowchart of the reel rotation start process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets a reel action pattern 0 (initial value of the reel action pattern) (S491). This process sets the normal acceleration process.

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires a middle reel random number value (S492). Also in this example, the middle reel random number value is acquired in the range of 0 to 20 as in the above embodiment.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs acceleration processing of the left reel 3L (S493). In this processing, acceleration processing of the left reel 3L is performed based on the set reel action pattern 0.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets a wait time based on the middle reel random number value (S494). By this process, the digest operation of the wait time before the acceleration process of the middle reel 3C is started. Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, in S494, the middle reel random number value (0 to 20) × 32 × 1.1172 msec is set as the wait time.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the wait time has become 0 msec (S495). In S495, when the main CPU 51 determines that the wait time has not become 0 msec (when the determination in S495 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the determination processing of S495.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S495 that the wait time has become 0 msec (when the determination in S495 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs acceleration processing of the middle reel 3C (S496). In this processing, acceleration processing of the middle reel 3C is performed based on the set reel action pattern 0.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets a weight time (715 msec) for the right reel (S497). By this processing, the digest operation of the wait time before the acceleration processing of the right reel 3R is started.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the wait time has become 0 msec (S498). In S498, when the main CPU 51 determines that the wait time has not become 0 msec (in the case of NO determination in S498), the main CPU 51 repeats the determination process of S498.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S498 that the wait time has become 0 msec (when the determination in S498 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs acceleration processing of the right reel 3R (S499). In this processing, acceleration processing of the right reel 3R is performed based on the set reel action pattern 0. Then, after the processing of S499, the main CPU 51 ends the random acceleration processing, and shifts the processing to S123 in the flowchart of the reel rotation start processing (see FIG. 94).

  As described above, also in the second modification, it is possible to perform random acceleration processing on each reel after the various reel effects for notification are finished. Therefore, in the second modification, as in the above embodiment, after the reel effect, it is possible to prevent the reel from rotating in a state in which a specific symbol combination is aligned on the effective line. As a result, there is no difference in the degree of advantage between the player playing a game with a specific symbol combination and the player playing a game with a specific symbol combination. be able to.

  Furthermore, in the second modification, the processing for setting the weight time at random (random number value acquisition processing and the like) is performed only on the middle reel 3C, so the processing amount of the random acceleration processing can be reduced. In this example, it is assumed that the wait time for the left reel 3L is the minimum wait time, the wait time for the right reel 3R is the maximum wait time, and the wait time for the middle reel 3C is randomly set. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The combination of the reel and the weight time can be set arbitrarily.

[Modification 3]
In the random acceleration processing of the embodiment, the first modification, and the second modification, the specific symbol combination is uniformed after the reel effect by absorbing the weight time set for each reel (random delay processing). Although the reel is prevented from rotating, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any method can be used as long as it can prevent the reel from rotating in a state in which a specific symbol combination is aligned after the reel effect.

  For example, after the end of the reel effect, the symbol combination on the activated line may be temporarily returned to the symbol combination stopped and displayed in the unit game one before the unit game in which the reel effect is performed. Also in this case, the same acceleration processing as the above-described random acceleration processing can be performed on each reel. In the third modification, an example thereof will be described.

  The internal configuration of the pachi slot 1 in this example, the arrangement, and the configurations of various tables and various storage areas required for various processes are the same as those in the above embodiment, and therefore the description of these configurations is omitted here. In addition, since processes (operations) other than the random acceleration process in this example are the same as those in the above embodiment, the description of those processes will be omitted, and only the random acceleration process will be described.

  The random acceleration processing in this example will be described with reference to FIG. Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, the random acceleration process is performed in S122 in the flowchart of the reel rotation start process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets a reel action pattern 0 (initial value of the reel action pattern) (S501). This process sets the normal acceleration process.

  Next, the main CPU 51 refers to the symbol stop position storage area (see FIG. 65) provided in the main RAM 53, and acquires stop symbol position information of each of the left reel 3L, middle reel 3C and right reel 3R (S502) . At this point (at the start of the game), the stop symbol position information of each reel stored in the symbol stop position storage area is the stop of the symbol displayed on the activated line after all the reels have stopped in the unit game one before. It is position information. Therefore, in the process of S502, the stop position information of the symbols of the reels stopped and displayed in the unit game immediately before the current unit game in which the reel effect is performed can be obtained.

  Next, the main CPU 51 simultaneously performs reel rendering constant speed processing on all reels (S503). Specifically, the main CPU 51 controls the rotation of each reel in accordance with the excitation pattern defined in the excitation data address "MGDAT_AP" in the excitation data table shown in FIG.

  Next, the main CPU 51 detects the reel index of the rotating predetermined reel (for example, the left reel 3L at first), and thereafter, based on the symbol stop position information of the predetermined reel in the previous unit game acquired in S502 A predetermined stop position of a predetermined reel is set (S504). Next, the main CPU 51 holds a predetermined reel at the set planned stop position (S504). In this reel holding process, the reel is made to appear to be stopped to the player by holding the reel at the stop symbol position by continuously inputting the excitation signal to the stepping motor which rotationally drives the predetermined reel.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not all the reels have been stopped (held) at the corresponding stop diagram type positions (S506).

  In S506, when the main CPU 51 determines that all the reels are not stopped (held) (when S506 is NO), the main CPU 51 changes the reels to be stopped, and returns the process to S504, as described above. The processing after step S504 is repeated. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S506 that all the reels are stopped (held) (when the determination in S506 is YES), the main CPU 51 simultaneously performs the reel action pattern 0 for all the reels. Acceleration processing (normal acceleration processing) is performed (S507). Then, after the processing of S507, the main CPU 51 ends the random acceleration processing, and shifts the processing to S123 in the flowchart of the reel rotation start processing (see FIG. 94).

  Also in the acceleration process of the third modification described above, it is possible to prevent the reel from rotating in a state in which a specific symbol combination is aligned on the effective line after the reel effect as in the above embodiment. As a result, there is no difference in the degree of advantage between the player playing a game with a specific symbol combination and the player playing a game with a specific symbol combination. be able to.

  Furthermore, in the third modification, in the random acceleration process, the symbol combination stopped and displayed in the previous unit game is displayed, and the symbol stop position of each reel is temporarily returned to the position at the time of all the reels in the previous unit game. . Therefore, in this example, it is possible to give the player a feeling as if playing a game continuously from the previous unit game.

[Modification 4]
In the above embodiment, an example in which the secondary control circuit 42 (sub CPU 81) manages the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination in the "normal gaming state"("initialstate","normalstate" and "chance zone") will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the main control circuit 41 may manage the number of consecutive winnings of the replay role. The modification 4 demonstrates the example.

  When the main control circuit 41 manages the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination, the mode lottery table shown in FIG. 69 and the replay continuous winning AT lottery table shown in FIG. 71 are stored in the main ROM 52 etc. A replay counter that manages the number of winnings is stored in the main RAM 53. Further, the management process of the number of consecutive winnings of the replay combination is performed in the winning search process.

  Next, winning search processing in this example will be described with reference to FIGS. 122 and 123. FIG. Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, the winning search processing is performed in S12 in the main flow shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether the replay player has won a prize (S511). In S511, when the main CPU 51 determines that the replay combination is not winning (when S511 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S520 in FIG. 123 described later. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the replay combination is won in S511 (when the determination in S511 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines that the replay combination is "Replay 0", "Replay G3" or "Replay G8" It is determined whether or not it is the included replay role (S512).

  In S512, when the main CPU 51 determines that the replay combination is not a replay combination included in "Replay 0", "Replay G3" or "Replay G8" (when S512 is NO), the main CPU 51 executes S519 described later. Perform the processing of On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S512 that the replay combination is a replay combination included in “Replay 0”, “Replay G3” or “Replay G8” (in the case of YES determination in S512), the main CPU 51 It is determined whether the RT state is the RT0 state, the RT1 state, or the RT7 state (S513).

  When the main CPU 51 determines in S513 that the RT state is not the RT0 state, the RT1 state, or the RT7 state (in the case of NO determination in S513), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S519 described later. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the RT state is the RT0 state, the RT1 state, or the RT7 state in S513 (if YES in S513), the main CPU 51 adds 1 to the replay counter (S514). .

  After the process of S514, the main CPU 51 determines whether the value of the replay counter is "2" or more (S515). When the main CPU 51 determines in S515 that the value of the replay counter is not “2” or more (when the determination in S515 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S519 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the replay counter is "2" or more in S515 (when the determination in S515 is YES), the main CPU 51 refers to the replay consecutive winning time AT lottery table and performs AT Perform a lottery (S516). Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether AT lottery has been won (S517).

  When the main CPU 51 determines that the AT lottery has not been won in S517 (when the determination in S517 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S519 described later. On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the AT lottery has been won in S517 (when the determination in S517 is YES), the main CPU 51 updates the value of the reel effect counter to "1" (S518).

  After the processing of S518, or if S512, S513, S515 or S517 is NO, the main CPU 51 makes an automatic medal insertion request (S519), and thereafter performs the processing of S520 described later.

  When the determination in S511 is NO, the main CPU 51 updates the value of the replay counter to "0" (S520).

  After the processing of S519 or S520, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is the combination according to "F_rip G9" (the internal winning combination corresponding to the small combination / replay data pointer "30": see FIG. 23). (S521). When the main CPU 51 determines in S521 that the internal winning combination is not a combination relating to “F_rip G9” (when the determination in S521 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S525 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S521 that the internal winning combination is a combination related to "F_rip G9" (when S521 is YES determination), the main CPU 51 determines that the symbol combination "clown match" is an effective line It is determined whether it is displayed above (S522). When the main CPU 51 determines in S522 that the symbol combination of “clown perfect” is displayed on the activated line (when the determination of S522 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S525 described later.

  On the other hand, in S522, when the main CPU 51 determines that the symbol combination of "clown perfect" is not displayed on the effective line (the symbol combination of "clown perfect" is missed) (when S522 is NO). The main CPU 51 updates the drop flag to “1” (S523). Next, the main CPU 51 updates the value of the reel effect counter to "1" (S524).

  After the processing of S524, if S521 is NO or if S522 is YES, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the “RT5 transition player” has won (S525). In S525, when the main CPU 51 determines that the “RT5 transition role combination” has not been won (when the determination in S525 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the winning search processing and the main flow (see FIG. 87). Move to S13.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the “RT5 transition player” has won in S525 (when the determination in S525 is YES), that is, the RT state shifts to the RT5 state, and the “simulated bonus” game is started. When the main CPU 51 has performed the ART continuous lottery processing (S526). In this process, the main CPU 51 performs lottery using the ART continuation lottery table shown in FIG. 74, and acquires the value (one of “0” to “5”) of the ART continuation occurrence flag and counter.

  Next, the main CPU 51 updates the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag and counter with the value of the ART continuation occurrence flag and counter acquired in S526 (S527). Then, after the processing of S527, the main CPU 51 ends the winning search processing, and shifts the processing to S13 of the main flow (see FIG. 87).

[Modification 5]
In the above embodiment, the number of ART added games is set according to the value (“0” to “11”) of the addition occurrence flag and type acquired when the addition of the ART game number is decided during the “pseudo-bonus”. The process example of determining the effect pattern type of “addition effect” based on the set number of addition games has been described. That is, in the above embodiment, an example is described in which the number of games to be added is determined when the addition of the ART game number is determined (when the value of the addition occurrence flag and type is determined). It is not limited to.

  For example, when the addition of the ART game number is decided, the contents of the reel effect (every time the value of the addition occurrence flag and type is updated) for each reel effect in the “addition effect” (without changing the number of additional games). The number of added games may be sequentially added according to the contents of the symbol display effect).

  More specifically, during the "superimposed effect", the number of ART-added games set for the currently-represented reel effect corresponding to the effect pattern type is determined before the current reel effect is performed. It may be added to the number of added games. In this case, the total number of ART games to be finally added is decided before the "disappointment effect" to be performed at the end of the "addition effect". In the fifth modification, an example thereof will be described.

  FIG. 124 shows an example of the addition occurrence flag and type data subtraction value table (additional game number determination means) used in the fifth modification. The addition occurrence flag / type data subtraction value table used in this example defines a subtraction value of the addition occurrence flag / type and the number of addition games, which are set according to the effect pattern type.

  The outline of operation of the "superimposed effect" in this example is as follows. In "superimposition effect", first, a reel effect (first reel effect) corresponding to the effect pattern type determined based on the value (initial value) of the additional occurrence flag and type acquired by the additional lottery is performed. As a result, the subtraction value and the number of added games corresponding to the content (effect pattern type) of the first reel effect are determined from the addition occurrence flag / type data subtraction value table shown in FIG. Then, the subtraction value of the addition occurrence flag / type determined in the first reel effect is subtracted from the initial value of the addition occurrence flag / type to update the value of the addition occurrence flag / type.

  Next, the effect pattern type is determined again by lottery based on the value of the updated additional occurrence flag and type. Subsequently, a reel effect (second reel effect) corresponding to the value of the effect pattern type determined again is performed. As a result, the subtraction value and the number of added games corresponding to the content (effect pattern type) of the second reel effect are determined from the addition occurrence flag / type data subtraction value table shown in FIG.

  Then, the subtraction value of the addition occurrence flag / type determined in the second reel effect (effect pattern type) is subtracted from the value of the addition occurrence flag / type corresponding to the second reel effect, and addition occurrence is generated again. Update the value of flag and type. At this time, the number of ART added games determined in the second reel effect is added to the number of ART added games determined in the first reel effect.

  After that, the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is updated to “1”, and the above-described update processing of the additional occurrence flag and type is performed until a reel effect (“sorry effect”) of the effect pattern type “0” is performed. The reel effect processing based on the value of the added occurrence flag and type and the addition processing of the number of added games are repeated for each reel effect. Therefore, the number of ART games finally added is determined at a point in time before the "disappointment production" performed at the end of the "addition production".

  Here, the procedure of the process of adding the number of added games in this example will be described more specifically while explaining an operation example of “addition effect” in the case where the addition occurrence flag and type “3” is acquired by the addition lottery. Do.

  First, when, for example, the effect pattern type “2” is determined by the lottery process of effect pattern type based on the acquired additional occurrence flag and type “3”, the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 Is performed, the symbol display effect (the first reel effect) of "top line red seven alignment" is performed. In this case, as shown in the addition occurrence flag / classification data subtraction value table of FIG. 124, “1” is acquired as the subtraction value, and “50” is acquired as the number of addition games.

  Next, the subtraction value “1” is subtracted from the initial value “3” of the additional occurrence flag and type, and the value of the additional occurrence flag and type is updated to “2”.

  Next, when, for example, the effect pattern type “3” is determined by the lottery process of the effect pattern type based on the updated additional occurrence flag and type “2”, the reel action effect corresponding to the reel action pattern 2 Is performed, the symbol display effect (second reel effect) of "bottom line red 7 uniform" is performed. In this case, as shown in the addition occurrence flag / type data subtraction value table of FIG. 124, “1” is acquired as the subtraction value, and “40” is acquired as the number of addition games. Then, the additional game number “40” acquired in the second reel effect is added to the additional game number “50” acquired in the first reel effect, and the total additional game number becomes “90”.

  Next, the subtraction value “1” is subtracted from the value “2” of the addition occurrence flag and type, and the value of the addition occurrence flag and type after the second update becomes “1”.

  Subsequently, a reel effect ("Sorry effect") corresponding to the additional occurrence flag and type "1" after the second update is performed, and the additional effect is ended. Therefore, in such an operation example, finally, the number of ART-added games is "90".

  As described above, in the fifth modification as well, in the same manner as in the above embodiment, when the winning lottery is performed during ART, even if the symbols are not aligned at the start of rotation of the reel, the predetermined symbol combination is facilitated by the reel effect Can be displayed. Furthermore, in the fifth modification, the number of games to be added is determined according to the number of reel effects in “addition effect” and the effect pattern (display symbol and display line) of each reel effect, so the contents of “addition effect” On the other hand, we can have the expectation of the number of additional games.

[Other various modifications]
In the above embodiment, in a predetermined unit game in the "ART state"("simulated bonus (RT5 state)" or "simulated bonus relief state (RT6 state)"), the reel effect is carried out at the start of the game. Although the example in which the reel effect is performed during the acceleration processing period has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reel effect may be performed also in the gaming state other than the "ART state".

  For example, in the above embodiment, the period of acceleration processing such as the next unit game of the unit game for which the transition of the gaming state to the “ART state” is determined, or the unit game for the unit game for which the addition of the ART game number is determined. Although an example in which the reel effect is performed in has been described, a predetermined reel effect may be performed in a unit game in which the transition of the gaming state to the “ART state” is determined or in a unit game in which the addition of the ART game number is determined. Furthermore, not only in the "ART state" but also in the "normal gaming state" and the "simulated bonus preparation state", corresponding reel effects may be appropriately performed according to the functions and the like provided in each gaming state.

  Further, in the above embodiment, in the reel effect other than the "superimposed effect" ("clown dropout effect", "simulated bonus prize masquerade effect" and "continuation determined effect"), a special symbol combination ("red 7 set"), " Although the example which displays "RB alignment" and "clown alignment" on an effective line (center line) was demonstrated, it is not limited to this invention. Also in the reel effect other than the "superimposed effect", a special symbol combination may be displayed on a line other than the center line (for example, top line, bottom line, cross-up line, cross-down line, etc.).
