Description

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

  Conventionally, when game media such as medals and coins are inserted by the player and the start lever is operated, rotation of a plurality of reels having a plurality of symbols arranged on each surface is started, and the stop button is operated. There is known a so-called pachislot machine, in which rotation of a plurality of reels is stopped and a privilege is given according to a combination of displayed symbols.

  In such a game machine, when an operation to the start lever (hereinafter referred to as "start operation") is detected by the start switch, random numbers are extracted and lottery is performed (hereinafter, the result of this lottery is referred to as "internal winning". Control the drive of the stepping motor to start the rotation of a plurality of reels, and detect the operation on the stop button (hereinafter referred to as “stop operation”) with the stop switch, the stepping motor Drive control, and control to stop the rotation of the plurality of reels based on the internal winning combination.

  In recent years, there has been known a gaming machine which terminates an advantageous state advantageous to a player based on the fact that the number of difference sheets in the advantageous state has reached a predetermined number (Patent Document 1).

  In the gaming machine shown in Patent Document 1, the player inserts the game into the game from the number of game media (the number of payouts) paid out to the player by winning establishment (display of the combination of symbols relating to the provision of game media). Since it is calculated by subtracting the number of game media (the number of inserted media), it is considered to be one of the indicators for measuring the degree of acquisition of the number of game media by the player.

  However, in the gaming machine shown in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that the game obtained in the advantageous state becomes monotonous, since there is no change in the profit obtained in the advantageous state.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of changing the end time of the advantageous state in the gaming machine whose advantageous state is controlled by the difference number. I assume.

The gaming machine according to the present invention comprises symbol display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R and display windows 4L, 4C, 4R) for variably displaying a plurality of symbols in a plurality of columns, and an internal winning combination determining internal winning combinations Determination means (for example, internal lottery processing by the main CPU 51), and symbol fluctuation start control means (for example, reel rotation start processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 51) for starting fluctuation of symbols displayed on the symbol display means; Symbol fluctuation stop control means (for example, reel stop control processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 51) for stopping fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means, and displayed on the symbol display means by the symbol fluctuation stop control means Means for giving profit according to the combination of stopped symbols (for example, the main CPU 51). Game processing unit), wherein advantageous state control means (for example, sub CPU 81) is controlled to an advantageous state (for example, the second AT period) in which the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous for the player is informed. And the difference number storage means (for example, the second AT management difference number counter) for storing the difference number in the advantageous state, and in the advantageous state, a combination of symbols relating to the application of the game medium is displayed on the symbol display means Difference number updating means (for example, the process shown in S489 in FIG. 65) for updating the difference number stored in the difference number storage means based on the provision of the game medium by the profit giving means In the advantageous state, the difference sheet number is updated by the difference sheet number updating unit, and the difference sheet number stored by the difference sheet number storage unit becomes a predetermined value. Based on the advantageous state end determining means (for example, the process shown in S 491 of FIG. 65) for determining the end of the advantageous state, and in the advantageous state, the predetermined right (for example, And the right number determining means (for example, the process shown in S 486 in FIG. 65) for determining whether or not to give or not), and the difference number is updated by the difference number updating means for the predetermined right. When the change rate is changed, a specific value (for example, 1/2) not including 0 is associated as a change rate for changing the value to be updated. If it is assigned, the difference sheet number is calculated with the specific value to update the difference sheet number stored in the difference sheet number storage unit (for example, the process shown in S488 of FIG. 65 is performed). It features.

  In the present invention, whether or not the advantageous state is ended is managed by the number of difference sheets (for example, the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter) in the advantageous state (for example, the second AT period). Here, in the advantageous state, when a predetermined right (for example, “special card (difference sheet subtraction throw)”) is given, a change rate (for example, 1⁄2) associated with the predetermined right The value by which the difference sheet number is updated is changed by. Therefore, even when the advantageous state is managed by the difference sheet number, it is possible to change the end time of the advantageous state.

  In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention is a special state control means (for example, sub-control) for controlling in a special state (for example, the first AT period) in which a procedure of stop operation advantageous to the player different from the advantageous state is notified. It is determined that the special state is ended when the CPU 81), the additional lottery means (for example, the process shown in S456 in FIG. 64) for executing the additional lottery in the special state, and a predetermined ending condition is satisfied. The special state end determining means (for example, the process shown in S 467 in FIG. 64) is further included, and the advantageous state control means determines that the special state end is to be ended by the special state end determining means. It controls in the said advantageous state, The said predetermined value is characterized by being determined based on the lottery result by the said additional lottery means.

  In the present invention, it is decided to shift to the advantageous state through the special state (for example, the first AT period), and the predetermined value of the number of difference sheets which will end the advantageous state depends on the lottery result of the extra lottery in the special state. It may be determined. In this case, since the predetermined value itself of the number of difference sheets that the advantageous state ends is also changed, it is possible to further change the end time of the advantageous state.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the special state includes a first special state (for example, a first AT period (normal)) and a second special state (for example, a first AT period (during a JAC)) The lottery means makes a transition from the first special state to the second special state from the first special state (for example, the lottery of the additional type “differential number addition”) which randomly judges whether the difference number is to be added or not. A second lottery (for example, a sort of “push order JAC” or “decision JAC” sort) for lottery whether or not the procedure of the stop operation is notified, and when shifting to the second special state, Furthermore, it is characterized in that it is possible to execute a third lottery (for example, the process of S 565 in FIG. 69) of extracting the number of difference sheets to be added.

  In the present invention, in the special state, a predetermined value of the number of the difference sheets which ends the advantageous state may be extracted by a plurality of lottery triggers. In this case, it is possible to diversify the lottery in the special state to further change the end time of the advantageous state.

  According to the present invention, in the gaming machine in which the advantageous state is managed by the difference number, it is possible to change the end time of the advantageous state.

  Hereinafter, a pachi-slot machine which is a specific example of a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings. First, referring to FIG. 1, a functional flow of the pachi-slot machine of the present embodiment will be described.

[Function flow of Pachislot machine]
As shown in FIG. 1, in a pachislot machine (for example, pachislot machine 1 described later), medals are inserted by the player and a start lever (e.g. start lever 16 described later) is operated. One value (hereinafter, random number value) is extracted from random numbers in the range of numerical values (for example, 0 to 65535).

  The internal winning combination determining means (for example, the main CPU 51 described later) performs lottery based on the extracted random number value, and determines an internal winning combination. That is, the internal winning combination determination means is a predetermined among the plurality of combinations based on the detection of the start operation of the unit game for the start lever by the start switch (for example, the start switch 16S described later) Determine the internal winning combination by winning probability.

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

  Also, the pachislot machine can perform control to stop the progress of the game. Such control is referred to as "freeze" or "lock". For convenience, the control to stop the progress of the game executed at the start of the game is called "lock at the start of the game", and the control to stop the progress of the game executed at the end of the game is "lock at the end of game" Call. That is, "lock at game start" means that the operation to the stop button (for example, the stop button 17L, 17C, 17R described later) is not effective in a predetermined period after the start lever is operated. The control is to stop the progress of the game in the sense, "lock at the end of the game" is the operation to the bet button or the operation to the start lever in a predetermined period after the stop button is operated Is a control in which the progress of the game is stopped in the sense that it does not become effective. Of course, the trigger for "freeze" or "lock" is not limited to the above. For example, after the start lever 16 is operated and one of the stop buttons is operated, then in a predetermined period, It is possible to carry out control in which the operation of is not effective.

  The internal winning combination determining means performs lottery based on the extracted random number value, and determines whether to perform "freeze" or "locking" instead of the internal winning combination or with the internal winning combination. It is also good. Also, at that time, whether a plurality of random number values are extracted, an internal winning combination is determined based on one of the random number values, and “freeze” or “lock” is performed based on the other one random number value It may be determined whether or not.

  Subsequently, after the reels (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R described later) are rotated, when the player presses the stop button, the reel stop control means (for example, a motor drive circuit 62 described later) The stepping motors 61L, 61C, and 61R described later perform control to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel based on the internal winning combination and the timing when the stop button is pressed.

  Here, in the pachislot machine, basically, control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel within a prescribed time (190 msec or 75 msec) after the stop button is pressed. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols moving with the rotation of the reel within the prescribed time is referred to as the “number of sliding symbols”. If the prescribed period is 190 msec, the maximum number of sliding symbols is determined to be four symbols, and if the prescribed period is 75 msec, the maximum number of sliding symbols is determined to be one symbol. The maximum number of sliding symbols is not limited to these, and can be set as appropriate.

  The reel stop control means uses the specified time when the internal winning combination which permits the display of the combination of symbols related to winning is determined, the pay line (hereinafter referred to as “the combination of symbols is activated. The rotation of the reel is stopped in the range of the maximum number of sliding pieces so as to be displayed as much as possible along the "effective line".

  On the other hand, for combinations of symbols whose display is not permitted by the internal winning combination, reels are used in the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols so as not to be displayed along the effective line using the above-mentioned prescribed time Stop rotating.

  Further, when the determined internal winning combination changes the combination of symbols displayed according to the predetermined stop operation order, the reel stop control means also determines the predetermined stop operation order. Control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel with reference.

  Thus, 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.

  That is, when the reel stop control means stops the fluctuation of the symbols, the prize determination means determines the winning or non-winning of the winning combination based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the activated line.

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

  In the present embodiment, the first stop operation of the reel performed first when all the reels are rotating is the first stop operation, and the second stop operation performed after the first stop operation is the second stop operation, the first stop operation. The second stop operation performed after the second stop operation is referred to as a third stop operation.

  Further, in the pachislot machine, various effects are performed by the effect executing means (informing means) in the above-described series of flows. These effects are displayed on a display device (for example, a liquid crystal display device 11 described later), light output performed by a lamp (for example a lamp group 21 described later), and speakers (for example, speakers 20L and 20R described later) It is performed by the output of the sound performed by these, or these combination.

  When the player operates the start lever, in addition to the random number value used to determine the internal winning combination as described above, other lottery processing, for example, a random value for effect (hereinafter, random number for effect) is extracted Ru.

  When the effect random number value is extracted, the effect content determination means (for example, a sub CPU 81 described later) randomly determines what is to be executed this time out of a plurality of types of effect content associated with the internal winning combination.

  When the effect content is determined, the effect execution means is interlocked with each opportunity such as when the rotation of the reels is started, when the rotation of each reel is stopped, and when the determination of the presence or absence of winning is performed. Perform the effect.

  As described above, in the pachislot machine, the player has an opportunity to know or predict the determined internal winning combination (in other words, the combination of the symbols to be aimed) by executing the presentation contents corresponding to the internal winning combination. It is provided to improve the player's interest.

[Transition of gaming state]
Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the gaming state of the pachislot machine 1 will be described. The main CPU 51 is configured to change, as the gaming state of the pachislot machine 1, two gaming states, a general gaming state (RT0 gaming state or RT1 gaming state) and a BB gaming state (RB gaming state).

<Transition of general gaming state>
As shown in FIG. 9, the main CPU 51 takes one of the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state as a general gaming state. In the RT0 gaming state, when the bonus combination (BB in this embodiment) which is the bonus operating role is internally won, the gaming state is shifted to the RT1 gaming state.

  The RT0 gaming state is a replay low probability state (a low RT gaming state) in which the winning probability of the replay role that is the player of the replay is relatively lower than that of the RT1 gaming state. The RT1 gaming state is a replay high probability state (high RT gaming state) in which the winning probability of the replay role is relatively higher than that of the RT0 gaming state.

  Here, there is no direct transition from the RT1 gaming state to the RT0 gaming state, and winning in the BB in the RT1 gaming state, transitioning to the BB gaming state, and ending the BB gaming state results in the RT0 gaming state again. It will be migrated.

  In addition, BB is always in a state of internal winning between internal winning and winning. Hereinafter, this state is referred to as “BB carryover state”. That is, in the present embodiment, the RT1 gaming state and the BB carry-over state are equivalent to each other.

  Note that the RT1 gaming state is not an RT managed by the number of games, but is a gaming state in which transition is made only when transition conditions as described above are satisfied. In that sense, the RT1 gaming state is infinite RT.

<Transition of BB gaming state>
In addition, when the BB is won, the main CPU 51 shifts the gaming state to the BB gaming state. In the present embodiment, the BB gaming state is always controlled in the RB gaming state, and when the BB ending condition is satisfied, specifically, the specified number of sheets in the BB gaming state (75 in the present embodiment) When there is a payout of medals exceeding), the BB gaming state and the RB gaming state are ended, and the gaming state is shifted to the RT0 gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the internal lottery table for general gaming state described later, in the RT1 gaming state, any internal winning combination is determined by lottery. That is, a unit game which is in the BB carryover state and is not won in any small part or replay role is generated only in a unit game internally won in BB. The internal winning combination can be roughly divided into a replay role, a minor role, and a bonus role, but as shown in FIG. 19 described later, in the present embodiment, the replay role or minor role is more than BB. It is configured to be preferentially stopped.

  Therefore, when BB is internally won but BB can not win in the unit game, until a predetermined initialization condition is satisfied (for example, all memory due to backup error of main RAM 33 at the time of power on) Region initialization) RT1 gaming state will continue.

  Note that the transition of the gaming state is not limited to the one described above. For example, by providing a plurality of combinations of symbols of bell lip to be described later, the symbols of one bell lip can be different by changing combinations of symbols to be prized according to the stop operation sequence at the time of winning regular lips 1 to 4 or bell lip 1 to 4 to be described later. When the combination of has won, it is possible to shift to the above-mentioned RT1 gaming state, and when the combination of symbols of other bell lip is won, it is possible to shift to the above-mentioned RT0 gaming state.

  In this case, when the sub CPU 81 is controlled to the advantageous gaming state, a stop operation order in which a combination of symbols of one bell lip is to be won is notified first, and by performing the stop operation according to the notification, The RT0 gaming state is shifted to the RT1 gaming state. Then, in the RT1 gaming state, the stop operation order in which combinations of other symbols of the bell lip do not win is notified, and the stop operation order in which the payout of medals is increased most is notified for each small winning combination. In the same way, it is possible to configure an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

<Internal lottery table>
In the plurality of internal lottery tables shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, lottery values and data pointers for each gaming state are associated with winning numbers. The internal lottery table is usually stored in the main ROM 52 for each setting value (for example, setting values 1 to 6) of the pachislot machine 1. However, in the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, description will be made using one internal lottery table.

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

  Therefore, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the probability that assigned data (that is, a data pointer) is determined. When the number of times the process of determining whether the result of subtraction has become negative exceeds the number of winning numbers, the result of the internal lottery process becomes "lost".

  In addition, the winning probability of each winning number can be represented by “lottery value corresponding to each winning number / number of all random number values that may be extracted (65536)”. In the present embodiment, by using a plurality of types of internal lottery tables, the type of the internal winning combination determined and the winning probability are changed, and as a result, the expectation held by the player is made rough.

  The data pointer is data acquired as a result of lottery performed with reference to the internal lottery table, and is data for specifying an internal winning combination defined by an internal winning combination determination table described later.

  That is, the data pointer is data used to determine the storage area type and 1-byte data in the small winning combination / replay combination determination table shown in FIG. 17 and the internal bonus combination determination table for bonus shown in FIG. . As the data pointer, the small winning combination / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer are individually defined corresponding to each winning number.

  The method of internal lottery processing is not limited to the method described above. For example, a lottery random number value extracted from a predetermined numerical value range “0 to 65535” corresponds to a lottery number corresponding to each winning number The internal lottery may be performed by sequentially adding up with the values and determining whether the result of the addition has reached a predetermined value (for example, has reached a predetermined value or more for each winning number).

(Internal lottery table for general gaming state)
As shown in FIG. 15, the internal gaming table for the general gaming state referred to in the general gaming state defines the lottery value of each winning number in the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state. In the general gaming state internal lottery table, winning numbers “1” to “45” in the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state are respectively associated with the small winning combination / replay data pointers “1” to “45”. Note that “(between BB flags)” in the RT1 gaming state is synonymous with the “BB carry-over state” described above.

  The lottery values of winning numbers “1” to “16” and “46” are different between the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state, and the lottery values of winning numbers “17” to “45” are the same. The winning number “46” is associated with “1” as a bonus data pointer, and when BB is determined as an internal winning combination, only BB is determined as an internal winning combination (single winning). It is set.

  Specifically, in the RT0 gaming state, the lottery values of winning numbers “1” to “16” are set to “8978” when added together, and the lottery value of winning number “46” is set to “5851”. ing. On the other hand, in the RT1 gaming state, the lottery values of the winning numbers “1” to “16” are added together and set to “14829”, which is set higher than when in the RT0 gaming state, and the lottery number having the winning number “46” The value is set to "0". That is, the lottery value corresponding to the difference of the winning number "46" is assigned to the lottery value of the winning numbers "1" to "16".

(Internal lottery table for RB gaming state)
As shown in FIG. 16, the internal lottery table for the RB gaming state referred to in the RB gaming state defines the lottery value of each winning number in the RB gaming state. In the internal lottery table for the RB gaming state, the winning numbers "1" and "2" are respectively associated with the small part and replay data pointers "46" and "47". In the present embodiment, since the RB gaming state is always in the BB gaming state, the internal lottery table for the RB gaming state can be reworded as an internal lottery table for the BB gaming state.

<Internal winning combination decision table for small part / replay>

  Here, as shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of symbol combinations (winning operation flags) for which winning is permitted is associated with one data pointer, so that a plurality of combinations can be made in one internal lottery process. It is possible to be permitted to win a combination of symbols (winning operation flag). These internal lottery methods are referred to as a "simultaneous winning" method and a "double winning" method.

  In the present embodiment, one combination of symbols for which winning is permitted (winning operation flag) can be defined as "internal winning combination", or winning is permitted for one data pointer. A combination of a plurality of symbols (prize operation flag) can be defined as one internal winning combination, but in FIGS. 17 to 20, the latter will be described as an internal winning combination.

Further, in the bonus internal winning combination determination table, the bonus data pointer "1" indicates "BB" as an internal winning combination, and "as a winning combination permitted symbol combination (winning operation flag)" “BB” is associated.

[Relationship between stop operation sequence and winning combination for internal winning combination]
Next, with reference to FIG. 19, the relationship between the stop operation order for the internal winning combination and the winning combination will be described.

  In FIG. 19, as the stop operation order, "left middle right" means that the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop button 17L, the stop button 17C, and the stop button 17R, and the "right and left middle" is the stop button 17L, "Middle left and right" means that the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop button 17C, the stop button 17L, and the stop button 17R. “Right and left” means that the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop button 17C, the stop button 17R, and the stop button 17L, and the “right and left middle” is the stop operation in the order of the stop button 17R, the stop button 17L, and the stop button 17C. "Right middle left" means stop button 17R, stop button 17C, it means that the order stop operation of the stop buttons 17L is made.

<Overview of Reel Stop>
In the present embodiment, a plurality of combinations of symbols for which winning is permitted is associated with one internal winning combination, and at what timing the stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R are operated (stop Depending on the operation timing) and in what order the operation is performed (stop operation order), control may be performed so that the finally displayed winning combination is also changed.

  That is, as to which symbol combination the symbol combination finally displayed on the effective line will be (in other words, as the basic information when the main CPU 51 executes the reel stop control), It is determined based on the three elements of

  The first factor is the internal winning combination determined by the internal lottery process. For example, if the result of the internal lottery process is "lost" (the value of the small combination / replay data pointer is "0"), a combination of symbols pertaining to any replay combination or a combination of symbols pertaining to the small combination Is never displayed on the effective line.

  The second element is the player's stop operation timing (in other words, the position of the symbol when the player operates any stop button). For example, in the present embodiment, since four symbols are determined as the maximum number of sliding symbols, even if one of the internal winning combinations is won as a result of the internal lottery process, the winning is permitted thereby. If the symbols that make up the combination of symbols being placed are arranged beyond 4 symbols, the combination of symbols for which winning is permitted may not be displayed depending on the timing of the stop operation of the player . This is called so-called "dropout", and in FIG. 19 that is described as "or lost" means that there is this "drop-out". Therefore, in the same figure, when not written as "or lost", it means that the combination of at least one of the symbols displayed among the displayed winning combinations is displayed, and there is no "dropout". .

  The third element is the player's stop operation order. For example, when the result of the internal lottery process is "normal RIP 1" (small part and replay data pointer value is "1"), regardless of the stop operation order, regardless of the stop operation timing. As shown in FIG. 19, a combination of symbols relating to any of the replay roles is displayed on the effective line. On the other hand, if the result of the internal lottery process is "middle left and right cross-up bell 1" (small part and replay data pointer value is "17"), if the stop operation order is "middle left and right", Regardless of the stop operation timing, when any combination of symbols of "Cross-up bell 1 to 9" is displayed on the effective line and the stop operation order is "middle right left", regardless of the stop operation timing The combination of symbols in any of "Middle 1st 2nd incorrect solutions A1 to 9" is displayed on the effective line. On the other hand, when the stop operation order is "left middle right" or "right and left middle", the stop operation timing is a timing that can display the symbols constituting the combination of the symbols of "upper bell 1" on the effective line. In the case where the combination of symbols of “upper bell 1” is displayed on the effective line and the stop operation order is “right / left middle” or “right middle left” only, the stop operation timing is “right 1st incorrect answer”. The combination of any of the symbols on the right 1st incorrect answer A1 to 4 "is on the effective line only when it is the timing that can display the symbols that make up the combination of any of the symbols on A1 to 4" on the effective line Is displayed.

  Here, the internal winning combination "middle left and right cross-up bell 1" (small part · replay data pointer value is "17"), "middle left and right cross-up bell 2" (small part · replay data pointer value is " 18 ")," middle left and right cross-up bell 3 "(small part and replay data pointer value is" 19 ")," middle left and right lower bell 1 "(small part and replay data pointer value is" 29 ") , “Middle left and right lower bell 2” (small part and replay data pointer “30”) and “middle left and right lower bell 3” (small part and replay data pointer “31”) are stopped Focusing on the operation order (refer to FIG. 19), it can be generically referred to as “middle left and right bell” because it is common in that similar benefits can be given.

  That is, when the result of the internal lottery process is “middle left and right bell”, seven medals are paid out regardless of the timing of the stop operation only when the stop operation order is “middle left and right”. Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "middle left and right bell", the stop operation order "middle left and right" is the procedure of the stop operation which is most advantageous for the player.

  Also, the internal winning combination "middle right left cross-up bell 1" (small part · replay data pointer value "20"), "middle right left cross-up bell 2" (small part · replay data pointer value "21 ), "Middle right and left cross-up bell 3" (small part and replay data pointer value is "22"), "middle right and left lower bell 1" (small part and replay data pointer value is "32"), "Middle right left lower bell 2" (small part · replay data pointer value is "33") and "middle right left lower bell 3" (small part · replay data pointer value is "34"), the stop operation Focusing on the order (see FIG. 19), it can be generically referred to as "middle right left bell" because it is common in that similar benefits can be given.

  That is, when the result of the internal lottery process is "middle right left bell", seven medals are paid out regardless of the timing of the stop operation only when the stop operation order is "middle right left". Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "middle right left bell", the stop operation order "middle right left" is the procedure of the stop operation which is most advantageous for the player.

  In addition, the internal winning combination "right left middle middle bell 1" (small part · Replay data pointer value is "23"), "right left middle middle bell 2" (small part · replay data pointer value is "24") , "Right and left middle middle bell 3" (small part and replay data pointer value is "25"), "right and left middle lower bell 1" (small part and replay data pointer value is "35"), "right and left middle The lower bell 2 "(small part and replay data pointer value is" 36 ") and" right and left middle lower bell 3 "(small part and replay data pointer value is" 37 ") has its stop operation order (Fig. 19) can be generically referred to as "right, left, middle, bell" because they are common in that they can provide similar benefits.

  That is, when the result of the internal lottery process is "right and left middle bell", seven medals are paid out regardless of the timing of the stop operation only when the stop operation order is "right and left middle". Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "right left middle bell", the stop operation order "right left middle" is the procedure of the stop operation which is most advantageous for the player.

  Also, the internal winning combination "right middle left middle bell 1" (small part · replay data pointer value is "26"), "right middle left middle bell 2" (small part · replay data pointer value is "27 ")," Right middle left middle bell 3 "(small part · replay data pointer value is" 27 ")," right middle left lower bell 1 "(small part · replay data pointer value is" 38 ") , “Right middle left lower bell 2” (small part and replay data pointer value is “39”) and “right middle left lower bell 3” (small part and replay data pointer value is “40”) Focusing on the stop operation order (see FIG. 19), it can be generically referred to as “right middle left bell” because it is common in that similar benefits can be provided.

  That is, when the result of the internal lottery process is “right middle left bell”, seven medals are paid out regardless of the stop operation timing only when the stop operation order is “right middle left”. Be Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "right middle left bell", the stop operation order "right middle left" is the procedure of the stop operation which is most advantageous for the player.

  Thus, based on the above-described third factor, the internal winning combination in which the player's profit changes is referred to as a so-called "push order", and in the case of a replay role, it is referred to as "push order replay". In the case of a minor, it may be referred to as a "push order minor."

  In the present embodiment, when the middle and left bells, middle right and left bells, right and left middle bells, and right middle and left bells, which are "push order small part", are determined as internal winning combinations during AT. In addition, it is decided to notify the stop operation order that seven medals will be paid out.

<Composition of push order small part>
Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the configuration of the pushing order small part in the pachislot machine according to the present embodiment will be described. Fig.20 (a) is a figure which shows the structural example of the pushing order small part in the pachislot machine which concerns on this Embodiment, (b) applies the structure of the pushing order small part in the pachislot machine which concerns on this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the example of a structure of pushing order small combination in case not.

  In (a) of FIG. 20, "middle left and right bell A" conceptually means "middle left and right cross-up bell 1 to 3" (small part and replay data pointer values are "17" to "19"). “Middle right left bell A” conceptually represents “middle right left cross-up bell 1 to 3” (small part and replay data pointer values “20” to “22”), “right left middle bell “B” conceptually represents “right and left middle bell 1 to 3” (small part and replay data pointer values are “23” to “25”), and “right middle left bell B” is “right middle The left middle bell 1 to 3 (the small pointer and replay data pointer values are “26” to “28”) is conceptually represented, “middle left and right bell C” is “middle left and right lower bell 1 to 3” The value of the small part / replay data pointer conceptually represents “29” to “31”, and “middle right left bell C” Right and left Lower bell 1 to 3 (the value of the data pointer for small part and replay is "32" to "34") is conceptually represented, "right and left middle bell C" is "right and left middle lower bell 1 to 3" ( The value of the small part / replay data pointer conceptually represents “35” to “37”, and “right middle left bell C” is “right middle left lower bell 1 to 3” (small part / replay data The value of the pointer conceptually represents “38” to “40”).

  Further, in (a) of FIG. 20, “one question” is “Middle left and right lower bell 1 to 3” (small part and replay data pointer values are “29” to “31,” as shown in FIG. ")," Middle right left lower bell 1-3 "(small part · replay data pointer value is" 32 "to" 34 ")," right left middle lower bell 1-3 "(small part · replay data pointer Values “35” to “37”) and “right middle left lower bell 1 to 3” (small combination and replay data pointer values “38” to “40”) “middle 1st 2nd incorrect solution B 1 to 9” And “right 1st 2nd incorrect solutions B1 to 6” are conceptually represented. In the same manner, "7 pressing order correct right and up 7", "7 pressing order correct middle steps", "7 pressing order correct lower 7", "7 pressing position correct upper row", "1 pressing position correct" and The "one first stop correct answer" is also a conceptual representation of the winning combination shown in FIG.

  In addition, in (b) of FIG. 20, if “right and left middle bell A” is defined as an internal winning combination, “right and left middle cross-up bell 1 to 3” is conceptually represented, and the stop operation is performed. Only when the order is "right and left middle", regardless of the timing of the stop operation, one of the "cross-up bells 1 to 9" is awarded, and seven medals are paid out. Also, if "right middle left bell A" is defined as an internal winning combination, "right middle left cross-up bell 1 to 3" is conceptually represented, and the stop operation order is "right middle left Only when it is "," it means that 7 medals are paid out in any of the "cross-up bells 1 to 9" regardless of the timing of the stop operation. In addition, if "middle left and right bell B" is defined as an internal winning combination, it is a conceptual representation of "middle left and right middle bell 1 to 3" and the stop operation order is "middle left and right". However, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the "Middle Bell" is awarded and seven medals are paid out. Also, if "middle right left bell B" is defined as an internal winning combination, it is a conceptual representation of "middle right left middle bell 1 to 3" and the stop operation order is "middle right left". However, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the "Middle Bell" is awarded and seven medals are paid out.

  Moreover, in (a) and (b) of FIG. 20, the phrase “pressing position correct” means that the timing of the stop operation was appropriate, that is, “dropout” occurred in the second element described above. It represents that the stop operation was performed without doing. For example, when the stop operation order is “left middle right” or “right and left middle”, “stop position correct answer upper row of seven” is the winning of the stop operation timing among “upper rows bell 1 to 12” ( Only when it is the timing that can be displayed on the effective line the symbols that make up the combination of the symbols pertaining to the "upper bell" that is winning is permitted) (the winning is permitted) "upper bell The symbol combination of "is displayed on the effective line, and represents that seven medals are paid out.

  In addition, in (a) and (b) of FIG. 20, "(1/4)" or "(1/2)" is a design on at least one of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. When the stop operation is performed at a predetermined stop operation timing at which one predetermined symbol is displayed on the one reel on the arrangement of the other, other predetermined not displayed depending on the predetermined stop operation timing When symbols exist, the number of predetermined symbols (in other words, the number of choices when the player selects the stop operation timing) is shown.

  For example, when "upper bell 1 to 12" is considered as one group, in the reel 3L, the "replay" symbol is arranged to be displayed on the effective line regardless of the stop operation timing, and in the reel 3R , "Watermelon A", "watermelon B" and "watermelon C" symbols (one symbol group) are arranged to be displayed on the effective line regardless of the timing of the stop operation. On the other hand, in the reel 3C, "watermelon A" (corresponding to "upper bells 1 to 3", "watermelon C (corresponding to" upper bells 4 to 6 ")," white blank "(" upper bells 7 to 9 " ), “Red 7” (corresponding to “upper bell 10-12”) is the above-mentioned predetermined symbol, and when the stopping operation is performed at the timing of stopping operation to display any of these symbols, the symbol is stopped It is arrange | positioned so that another pattern may not be displayed in operation timing. That is, in the reel 3C, predetermined symbols are arranged such that the number of choices when the player selects the stop operation timing is four (see FIGS. 10, 14a and 14b).

  Also, for example, when "middle 1st incorrect answer A1 to A4" and "medium 1st incorrect answer B1 to B4" are considered as one group, in reel 3L, "bell" and "watermelon B" symbols (one symbol group ) Is arranged to be displayed on the effective line regardless of the timing of the stop operation, and in the reel 3C, the “cherry” symbol is arranged to be displayed on the effective line regardless of the timing of the stop operation There is. On the other hand, in the reel 3R, "BAR" (corresponds to "medium 1st incorrect solution A1, A3"), "watermelon A" (corresponds to "medium 1st incorrect solution A2, A4"), "watermelon B" ("medium 1st "Red 7" (corresponds to incorrect answer B1, B3) and "red 7" (corresponds to "middle 1st incorrect answer B2, B4") are the predetermined symbols mentioned above, and stop at the stop operation timing to display any of these symbols When an operation is performed, it is arrange | positioned so that another pattern may not be displayed at the stop operation timing. That is, in the reel 3R, predetermined symbols are arranged such that the number of choices when the player selects the stop operation timing is two (see FIGS. 10, 14a and 14b).

  Here, when (a) and (b) of FIG. 20 are compared, in (a) of FIG. 20, while the number of internal winning combinations is eight, in (b) of FIG. The number of winning combinations is 12 and the number of internal winning combinations is to be increased by four. In addition, in (a) of FIG. 20, when it is desired to set the total of the lottery values of the desired push order small part to "4000" (that is, when assigning the lottery value of "1000" to the correct push order). In FIG. 20 (b), the desired lottery value described above can not be evenly assigned, while the lottery value is equally assigned to.

  As described above, according to the configuration of the push order small combination according to the present embodiment, the number of internal winning combinations is not made monotonous (the combination of the displayed symbols) in the push order small combination. By reducing the volume of data, it is possible to reduce the control burden of the internal lottery process, and furthermore, it becomes easy to assign desired lottery values evenly, so that the lottery is fair and easy to design. It will also help.

  Also, in FIG. 20A, the lottery values (for example, “250”) of “middle left and right bell C”, “middle right left bell C”, “right left middle bell C” and “right middle left bell C” Instead of making it lower than the lottery value (for example, "750") of "middle left and right bell A", "middle right left bell A", "right left middle bell B" and "right middle left bell B" C), “middle right left bell C”, “right left middle bell C” or “right middle left bell C”, even if the stop operation order becomes incorrect by any stop operation order, “dropout” "" Does not occur, "one question" will be awarded, and one medal will be paid out, but in (b) of FIG. 20, the stop operation order of the first stop operation is incorrect. As long as there is, there is always the possibility of "dropouts."

  As described above, according to the configuration of the push order small combination according to the present embodiment, in the push order small combination in which the lottery value is relatively lowered, the stop operation order is always incorrect even if the stop operation order becomes incorrect. By giving the player a minimum benefit, as a result, it is possible to reduce the bias of the benefit given to the player, which also contributes to the fairness of the game.

  As mentioned above, although the structure of the push order small combination concerning this embodiment was demonstrated using FIG. 20, the structure of the push order small combination concerning this embodiment is not restricted to this. For example, in the configuration of the push order small winning combination according to the present embodiment, when the stop operation order is "left middle right" or "left and right middle", the case where the push order is correct is not provided. It is also possible to provide a correct answer.

  In this case, "left middle right bell D" and "left right middle bell D" are defined, and when "left middle right bell D" is won, the stop operation is performed only when the stop operation order is "left middle right". Regardless of the timing, it is decided that one of the “upper bell 1 to 12” is won, 7 medals are paid out, and the stop operation order is “right to left” at the time of “right to left middle bell D”. In any case, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, one of the “upper bells 1 to 12” may be awarded, and seven medals may be paid out. Furthermore, when "left middle right bell C" and "left middle right bell C" are defined, and when "left middle right bell C" is won, the timing of the stop operation is determined only when the stop operation order is "left middle right". Regardless of the case, it is determined that one of the lower bells 1 to 3 is awarded and seven medals are paid out, and the stop operation order is “right and left middle” at the time of winning “right and left middle bell C”. As long as it is determined that any of the lower bells 1 to 3 wins and seven medals are paid out, regardless of the timing of the stop operation. In addition, the "one question", "one correct answer at the pressing position" and the "one correct answer at the first stop" may be configured in the same manner as described above.

  Also, for example, it is assumed that the medals of “7 sheets” at the correct order of push and “one sheet” are dispelled at the incorrect order of push, but at the correct order of push, the number of medals inserted is three or more. The number of medals equal to or less than the prescribed number (15) may be paid out, and the number can be set as appropriate. Further, when the pushing order is incorrect, it is sufficient if the number of medals which is one or more and less than the number of inserted medals (three) is paid out, and the number can be set appropriately. Furthermore, when the pressing order is incorrect, the number of medals less than the number of medals paid out when the pressing order is correct may be paid out.

<Stop control of reel>
The main CPU 51 executes the following processing in order to realize the above-described stop control of the reels.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines an internal winning combination in an internal lottery process (see S14 in FIG. 42) to be described later, and stores information on the internal winning combination in the main RAM 53. In S42 (see S16), various stop control information stored in the main ROM 52 is read out and stored in the main RAM 53 based on the internal winning combination.

  Here, if information stored as various stop control information is illustrated, at which symbol position on each reel at which the stop button is operated is stopped at which symbol position in relation to the above-mentioned second element ( In relation to the information specifying the number of sliding pieces directly or indirectly or in relation to the above-mentioned third element, when the stop button is operated in which stop operation sequence, which symbol combination is preferentially displayed The information etc. which prescribed | regulated directly or indirectly can be mentioned.

  Next, the main CPU 51 stops each reel based on various stop control information stored in the main RAM 53 in a reel stop control process (see S22 of FIG. 42) described later. In particular, when the internal winning combination is a "push advance role", appropriate stop control information is selected from among the stored stop control information or one stop operation is performed according to the stop operation order. After that, stop control information is generated (changed) to perform stop control.

  Depending on the stop operation timing and the stop operation order, different stop controls may be executed even if they are the same internal winning combination, but the stop control is uniquely determined in advance and the same. The same stop control is executed as long as the internal winning combination and the same stop operation timing and stop operation sequence are performed.

[Configuration of storage area allocated to main RAM]
Next, configurations of various storage areas allocated to the main RAM 53 will be described with reference to FIGS.

<Internal winning combination storage area>
The internal winning combination storing area shown in FIG. 21 is constituted by 27 storage areas of the internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 27. The internal winning combination storing area is configured to be able to store data (bits) corresponding to the combination of each symbol specified in the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, and as a result of internal lottery processing, winning is achieved. "1" is set to data (bit) according to the combination of symbols permitted, and "0" is set to data (bit) according to the combination of symbols not winning.

<Display combination storage area>
The display combination storing area shown in FIG. 22 is formed of 27 storage areas of the display combination storing areas 1 to 27. The display combination storage area is configured in the same manner as the above-mentioned internal winning combination storage area, and as a result of the internal lottery process, of the combinations of symbols for which winning is permitted, symbols that can be displayed on the effective line "1" is set to data (bit) corresponding to the combination, and "0" is set to data (bit) corresponding to the combination of symbols that can not be displayed. Also, in the display combination storing area, whenever the respective reels of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R stop, the data (bit) is updated based on the data (bit) stored in the symbol code storage area described later The combination of symbols in which "1" is set even after all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R have stopped is a winning combination. That is, the display combination storing area is used for the main CPU 51 to identify a winning combination after all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped.

<Symbol code storage area>
The symbol code storage area shown in FIG. 23 is composed of 27 storage areas of symbol code storage areas 1 to 27. The symbol code storage area is configured in the same manner as the internal winning combination storing area and the display combination storing area described above, and is effective among combinations of the symbols specified in the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 12 to 14. The data (bit) corresponding to the combination of symbols that can be displayed on the line is set to "1", and the data (bit) corresponding to the combination of symbols that can not be displayed is "0". Is set. Further, in the symbol code storage area, the data (bit) is updated each time the respective reels of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R stop.

<Holding part storage area>
In the carryover combination storage area shown in FIG. 24, data relating to the carryover combination is stored. For example, when the BB carryover state is reached (that is, when "BB" is determined as the internal winning combination), bit 0 of the carryover combination storage area is set to "1", and "BB" is won to be BB. When shifting to the gaming state, the corresponding bit is reset to "0".

<Playing state flag storage area>
The gaming state flag storage area shown in FIG. 25 stores data relating to the BB gaming state, the RB gaming state, and the RT gaming state. For example, in the BB gaming state, bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area is set to "1", and bit 1 of the gaming state flag storage area is set to "1".

  In addition, when the RT gaming state becomes the RT1 gaming state, bit 2 of the gaming state flag storage area is set to “1”, and the RT gaming state becomes the RT0 gaming state, the gaming state flag storage area Bit 2 is reset to '0'.

  In the following description, bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area is also referred to as "BB gaming state flag", bit 1 of the gaming state flag storage area is also referred to as "RB gaming state flag", and bits of the gaming state flag storage area 2 is also referred to as "RT1 gaming state flag".

<Actual stop button storage area>
In the operation stop button storage area shown in FIG. 26, the states of the stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R are stored. Bit 0 corresponds to the stop button 17L, and when the stop button 17L is operated, "1" is stored in bit 0.

  Similarly, bit 1 corresponds to the stop button 17C, and "1" is stored in bit 1 when the stop button 17C is operated. Also, bit 2 corresponds to the stop button 17R, and "1" is stored in bit 2 when the stop button 17R is operated.

  Bit 4 corresponds to the stop button 17L, and when the stop button 17L is valid, "1" is stored in the bit 4. Bit 5 corresponds to the stop button 17C, and when the stop button 17C is valid, "1" is stored in bit 5. The bit 6 corresponds to the stop button 17R, and when the stop button 17R is valid, "1" is stored in the bit 6.

  In the present embodiment, the effective stop button corresponds to the stop button 17L, 17C, 17R corresponding to the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R and capable of detecting the stop operation by the main CPU 51.

<Pressing order storage area>
The pressing order storage area shown in FIG. 27 is an area for storing information indicating the pressing order of the three stop buttons 17L, 17C, and 17R. Bit 0 corresponds to the pressing order "left → middle → right", and "1" is stored in bit 0 when the pressing order is "left → middle → right", and the other bits are "0". It is reset.

  Similarly, bit 1 corresponds to the pressing order "left → right → middle", bit 2 corresponds to the pressing order "middle → left → right", and bit 3 corresponds to the pressing order "middle → right → left" The bit 4 corresponds to the pressing order "right → left → middle", and the bit 5 corresponds to the pressing order "right → middle → left".

[Configuration of various lottery tables used for effects etc.]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 28 to 48, the configurations of various tables used for effects and the like will be described.

<CZ transition point lottery table>
FIG. 28 shows the CZ transition point lottery table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. The CZ transition point lottery table is referred to in the normal game process described later in the description of FIG. The CZ transition point is a lottery element used to determine whether a CZ transition condition for transitioning to CZ is satisfied at the end of the normal gaming cycle (see FIG. 49). In addition, "CZ" is an abbreviation for "chance zone", and this chance zone is a special period having a high probability of shifting to a first AT period to be described later than in the normal game.

  As shown in FIG. 28, in the CZ transition point lottery table, the CZ transition point is not added (not won) based on the internal winning combination determined in the normal game, and the CZ transition point is added 1 (+1 ), CZ transition point is incremented by 2 (+2), CZ transition point is incremented by 3 (+3), or CZ transition point is incremented by 4 (+4). A value has been assigned.

  For example, when the internal winning combination is "watermelon", "not winning" is determined with a probability of 20168/32768, "+1" is determined with a probability of 10000/32768, and "+2" is a probability of 2000/32768. It is determined that "+3" is determined with a probability of 500/32768, and "+4" is determined with a probability of 100/32768.

  In FIGS. 28 to 48, unless otherwise indicated, the internal winning combination "Replay" refers to "ordinary lips 1 to 4", "bell lip 1 to 4" and "fake BAR lip", and the internal winning combination "Bell" is "middle left and right cross-up bell 1 to 3", "middle right and left cross up bell 1 to 3", "right and left middle middle bell 1 to 3", "right middle left middle bell 1 to 3", "middle Left and right lower bell 1 to 3 "," middle right left lower bell 1 to 3 "," right left middle lower bell 1 to 3 "," right middle left lower bell 1 to 3 "and" strong bell ", internal winning combination" “Chance Role” refers to “Chance Lip 1”, “Chance Lip 2” and “Strong Chance Lip”, Internal winning combination “Watermelon” refers to “Watermelon”, Internal winning combination “Weak Cherry” is “Cherry” "Rip" and "weak cherry", the internal winning combination "strong cherry" is "strong “Cherry lip”, “strong cherry 1” and “strong cherry 2” are shown, but not limited thereto, for example, all or part of the internal winning combinations shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 Each lottery may be performed.

<CZ level lottery table>
FIG. 29 shows a CZ level lottery table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. This CZ level lottery table is referred to in the processing during normal game described later in the description of FIG. The CZ level is one of the lottery elements used to determine whether or not AT becomes an AT acquisition (ie, whether an AT transition condition for transitioning to the first AT condition is satisfied) in CZ (see FIG. 37). ).

  As shown in FIG. 29, in the CZ level lottery table, the CZ level is not added (not won) based on the internal winning combination determined in the normal game, the CZ level is incremented by 1 (+1), the CZ The lottery value is assigned such that it is determined that the level is incremented by 2 (+2) or the CZ level is incremented by 3 (+3).

  For example, when the internal winning combination is "chance", "no win" is determined with a probability of 29248/32768, "+1" is determined with a probability of 3000/32768, and "+2" with a probability of 500/32768. Is determined, and "+3" is determined with a probability of 20 / 32,768.

<Card lottery table>
FIG. 30 shows a card lottery table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. This card lottery table is referred to in the processing during normal game described later in the description of FIG. The card lottery table is configured to be able to determine either a lottery card or a special card. The lottery card is one of the direct lottery elements (lottery right) to be used in CZ to determine whether AT will be acquired (that is, AT transition condition for transitioning to the first AT period is established) or not. (See FIG. 37), and the special card is used to determine whether or not an AT is obtained in CZ (ie, whether an AT transition condition for transitioning to the first AT period is established) or not. It is one of the indirect (subsidiary) lottery elements that can be used (subsidiary lottery rights) (see FIG. 66).

  As shown in FIG. 30, in the card lottery table, the card is not acquired (not won) or the type of acquired card is determined based on the current number of special cards and the internal winning combination determined in the normal game. The lottery value is assigned as it is.

  For example, when the number of current special cards is 3 or less and the internal winning combination is "watermelon", "not won" is determined with a probability of 17148/32768 and "lottery card LV2" with a probability of 6000/32768. Is determined, the "lottery card LV3" is determined with a probability of 3200/32768, the "lottery card LV4" is determined with a probability of 1600/32768, and the "lottery card LV5" is determined with a probability of 800/32768, The "lottery card LV6" is determined with a probability of 200/32768, the "lottery card LV7" is determined with a probability of 80/32768, and the "lottery card LV8" is determined with a probability of 40/32768. In addition, the "special card (attack force + 1)" is determined with a probability of 800/32768, the "special card (attack force + 2)" is determined with a probability of 400/32768, and the "special card ( “Attack power + 3)” is determined, “special card (CZ level + 3)” is determined with a probability of 400/32768, “special card (re-lottery P preferential)” is determined with a probability of 400/32768, 400/32 "Special card (one annihilation avoidance)" is determined with the probability of 32768, "special card (one acquisition of attack right)" is determined with the probability of 800/32768, and "special card (attack with a probability of 200/32768" "Right acquisition twice" is determined, and "special card (3 attack right acquisition)" is determined with a probability of 100 / 32,768.

  In the present embodiment, eight types of “lottery card LV1” to “lottery card LV8” are defined as lottery cards. Here, “LV” (level) indicates the degree of expectation of whether or not to obtain AT, and is set so that AT becomes easier to be acquired (ie, the degree of expectation is higher) as the level becomes higher. ing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the special cards are “special card (attack force +1)” to “special card (attack force +3)”, “special card (CZ level +3)”, “special card (re-lottery P preferential treatment) There are nine types of “special card (one time of extinction avoidance)”, “special card (one acquisition of attack right)” to “special card (three acquisition of attack right)”.

  "Special card (Attack power +1)" to "Special card (Attack power +3)" is higher than the level of the lottery card used in the attack (AT acquisition lottery) when the attack right described later is acquired in CZ. It is a card to make AT acquisition lottery be performed with high expectation. For example, when the "special card (attack force + 1)" is associated with the "lottery card LV 1", if the attack right is acquired, the level of the lottery card is incremented by one in the attack, " The AT acquisition lottery is executed with the same expectation as the lottery card LV2.

  The "special card (CZ level + 3)" allows the AT acquisition lottery to be performed with a higher degree of expectation than the CZ level referred to in the attack (AT acquisition lottery) when the attack right is acquired in the CZ. It is a card for For example, if the "special card (CZ level + 3)" is associated with the "lottery card LV 1" and the current CZ level is 1, if the attacking right is acquired, the CZ level is The AT acquisition / lottery will be executed with the same expectation as when the CZ level is 4 with three added.

  The "special card (re-lottery P preferential)" is used to give priority to the re-lottery point when it is determined in CZ that the deletion of the later-described lottery card is made and the end of the re-lottery point to be described later. It is a card. Details will be described later in the description of FIG.

  The “special card (one time of disappearance avoidance)” is a card that makes it possible to avoid the disappearance of the lottery card if it is determined in CZ. For example, even if it is not possible to acquire the attacking right when the “special card (one time of disappearance avoidance)” is associated with the “lottery card LV1,” the “lottery card LV1 in that game” The disappearance of 'will not be determined.

  "Special card (1 time attack right acquisition)" to "special card (3 times attack right acquisition)" are cards that enable CZ to always acquire an attack right. For example, when the "special card (one attack right acquisition)" is associated with the "lottery card LV1", the attack right can always be acquired in the game, and the AT is acquired according to the "lottery card LV1". A lottery will be performed.

  The lottery card and the special card shown in FIG. 30 are merely examples, and the level of the lottery card and the role (function) of the special card are not limited thereto. For example, even if any internal winning combination is determined as the level of the lottery card, a lottery card (for example, “lottery card (LV 9)”) that will determine AT acquisition may be defined. Alternatively, as a special card, a special card (for example, “special card (attack force + 1. Acquisition of attack right once)”) in which a plurality of roles (functions) are associated may be defined.

  Further, as the level of the lottery card, a level (expected degree) to be referred to may be associated for each attack right acquisition lottery (including AT acquisition lottery) and card disappearance lottery described later. For example, as a lottery card, cards such as “lottery card (attack LV 3) (defense LV 1)”, “lottery card (attack LV 1) (defense level 3)”, “lottery card (attack LV 4) (defense LV 1)” are defined. You may do it. Then, for example, in the case of performing lottery using the “lottery card (attack LV 3) (defense LV 1)”, the attack LV is referenced in the attack right acquisition lottery (including the AT acquisition lottery), and the level of the lottery card is 3 A lottery may be performed, and in the card disappearance lottery, the defense LV may be referred to, and the lottery may be performed assuming that the level of the lottery card is 1.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 30, in the present embodiment, when the number of current special cards is four, it is assumed that lottery of whether or not to acquire special cards is not further performed. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if the number of current special cards is four, it is determined that lottery of whether to acquire a special card is performed, and as a result of the lottery, the special cards currently held If a special card that is more advantageous is acquired, the special card may be replaced and held, as in the case of the replacement of the lottery card described later.

<AT direct hit lottery table>
FIG. 31 is a diagram showing an AT direct hit lottery table stored in the sub ROM 82. As shown in FIG. This AT direct hit lottery table is referred to in the processing during the normal game described later in the description of FIG. 67, and is used to determine whether or not to shift to the first AT period without passing through the CZ in the normal game (FIG. See 49). Although illustration is omitted in FIG. 31, when "BAR Lip 1" or "BAR Lip 2" is determined as an internal winning combination, AT acquisition (at AT direct hit) will be determined. There is.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the AT direct hit lottery table is that the AT is not acquired (not won) or the AT is acquired based on the current number of periodic games and the internal winning combination determined in the normal game. The lottery value is assigned so that any of (winning) can be determined. In the present embodiment, the AT game is obtained when the number of periodic games is 1 (that is, the first game of the periodic period in the normal game) than when the number of periodic games is other (AT It is configured to increase the degree of expectation). However, the number of periodic games for which the degree of expectation for AT acquisition is high is not limited to this, and may be configured to have a high degree of expectation for odd (or even) number of games, for example. The degree of expectation may be increased in the number of games (for example, the seventh game, the 14th game, the 21st game, and the 28th game) which are multiples of the number (for example, 7).

  In FIG. 31, for example, when the current number of periodic games is 1 and the internal winning combination is "strong bell", "not won" is determined with a probability of 32518/32768, "250/32768" with a probability of " The winner is determined. Also, for example, when the current number of periodic games is other than 1 (others) and the internal winning combination is "strong bell", "not won" is determined with a probability of 32768/32768, and "winning" is determined. There is no case.

<Initial CZ level lottery table>
FIG. 32 shows an initial CZ level lottery table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. This initial CZ level lottery table is referred to in the normal game initial setting process described later in the explanation of FIG. 68, and CZ ends (CZ failure) without acquiring AT in CZ and shifts to normal game (period start ), When transitioning to a normal game after the end of the second AT period (AT end), used to determine the initial value of the CZ level in the normal game (see FIG. 49). Although not shown in FIG. 68, the CZ level is initialized even when the setting value of the pachislot machine 1 is changed (setting change), so this initial stage is the same as the above case. The initial value of the CZ level in the normal game is determined using the CZ level lottery table.

  As shown in FIG. 32, in the initial CZ level lottery table, 1 is set as an initial value of the CZ level (CZ level) in response to a trigger (setting change, cycle start, AT end) for initializing the CZ level. = 1), 2 is set as the initial value of the CZ level (CZ level = 2), 3 is set as the initial value of the CZ level (CZ level = 3), 4 is the initial value of the CZ level A lottery value is assigned such that any of what is set (CZ level = 4) is determined.

  For example, when the trigger to initialize the CZ level is "setting change", "CZ level = 1" is determined with a probability of 18768/32768, and "CZ level = 2" is determined with a probability of 8000/32768, “CZ level = 3” is determined with a probability of 4000/32768, and “CZ level = 4” is determined with a probability of 2000/32768.

<Initial card lottery table>
FIG. 33 shows an initial card lottery table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. This initial card lottery table is referred to in the normal game initial setting process described later in the explanation of FIG. 68, and CZ ends (CZ failure) without acquiring AT in CZ and shifts to normal game (period start) When the second AT period ends and the game shifts to the normal game (AT end), it is used to determine the initial state of the lottery card in the normal game (see FIG. 49). Although illustration is omitted in FIG. 68, since it is necessary to set the initial state of the lottery card even when the setting value of pachislot machine 1 is changed (setting change), the same as in the above case. The initial state of the lottery card in the normal game is determined using this initial card lottery table.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described later, four lottery cards are always stocked (stored), and in the initial state, the lottery using the initial card lottery table is performed four times. The initial state of the lottery card will be determined.

  As shown in FIG. 33, the initial card lottery table is any of “lottery card LV1” to “lottery card LV8” as an acquired card according to the timing (setting change, cycle start, AT end) of initializing the lottery card. The lottery value is assigned so that it can be determined.

  For example, when the trigger to initialize the CZ level is "setting change", "lottery card LV1" is determined with a probability of 29500/32768, "lottery card LV2" is determined with a probability of 2500/32768, and 256 / The "lottery card LV3" is determined with a probability of 32768, the "lottery card LV4" is determined with a probability of 256/32768, and the "lottery card LV5" is determined with a probability of 256/32768.

<CZ migration lottery table>
FIG. 34 is a diagram showing the CZ migration lottery table stored in the sub ROM 82. As shown in FIG. This CZ transition lottery table is referred to in the normal game processing described later in the description of FIG. 67, and based on the CZ transition point at the end of the normal gaming cycle, whether or not the CZ transition condition for transitioning to CZ is satisfied. It is used to determine whether (see FIG. 49). When the CZ transition point is 4 points or more, the transition to the CZ is always made.

  As shown in FIG. 34, the CZ transition lottery table is determined not to shift to CZ (not winning) or to shift to CZ (winning) based on the CZ transition point at the end of the normal gaming cycle. The lottery value is assigned as it is.

  For example, when the CZ transition point at the end of the normal game cycle is 0 and the internal winning combination is "Replay", "not won" is determined with a probability of 32468/32768, and "winning with a probability of 300/32768. "Is determined. In addition, when the CZ transition point at the end of the normal game cycle is 3, and the internal winning combination is "Replay", "not won" is determined with a probability of 32168/32768, and "winning with a probability of 600/32768. "Is determined.

<Special card combination lottery table>
FIG. 35 shows a special card combination lottery table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. This special card combination lottery table is referred to in the processing during CZ described later in the explanation of FIG. 66, and is used to determine which special card is to be associated with the lottery card used for AT acquisition lottery in CZ. .

  As shown in FIG. 35, the special card combination lottery table corresponds to which special card among the special cards which can be held up to four to the first to fourth lottery cards used for AT acquisition lottery in CZ. A lottery value is assigned such that any one of combination numbers “NO. 1” to “NO. 24” indicating combinations to be assigned is determined.

  For example, the combination number “NO. 1” is determined with a probability of 1373/32768, and the combination number “No. 24” is determined with a probability of 1365/32768. A lottery value may be allocated so that all combination numbers are determined with the same probability.

  In addition, for example, at the time of CZ transition, "lottery card LV1" is held as the first lottery card, "lottery card LV2" is held as the second lottery card, and the third lottery card is held. Owns the “lottery card LV3” and holds the “lottery card LV4” as four lottery cards, and further holds the “special card (attack force + 1)” as the first special card , And holds the "special card (re-lottery P preferential)" as the second special card, and holds the "special card (one time to avoid extinction)" as the third special card. When "NO. 1" is determined as the combination number when "special card (1 time of attack right acquisition)" is held as the first special card, "lottery card LV 1" and "special card" (Attack force +1) Attached, "lottery card LV2" and "special card (re-lottery P preferential)" are associated, "lottery card LV3" and "special card (one disappearance avoidance)" are associated, and "lottery card" After the LV 4 and the special card (once acquiring the attack right) are associated, the lottery in the CZ is to be executed. When the number of special cards held is less than four, for example, in the case of one, the special card is associated with the lottery card corresponding to the “first sheet” in the determined combination number, and the other A special card will not be associated with the lottery card.

<Attack table acquired lottery table>
FIG. 36 is a diagram showing the attack right acquisition / lottery table stored in the sub ROM 82. As shown in FIG. This attack right acquisition lottery table is referred to in the processing during CZ described later in the description of FIG. 66, and is used in CZ to determine whether AT acquisition lottery based on the lottery card is executed. The attack right means that the ally character is a right to attack the enemy character, and in the present embodiment, when the attack right is acquired, the ally character attacks the enemy character. While the image shown is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11, the AT acquisition lottery described later is executed, and if the result of the lottery is an AT win, the enemy character is defeated by the attack of the ally character of this time. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 and the AT is not won, an image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 indicating that the enemy character is not defeated by the attack of the ally character this time It will be. In addition, as described above, when the special card of any one of “special card (one attack right acquisition)” to “special card (three attack right acquisition)” is associated with the lottery card, Attack Right Acquisition The attack right will always be acquired without performing lottery by the lottery table.

  As shown in FIG. 36, the attack right acquisition / lottery table does not acquire an attack right (enemy attack) or an attack right is acquired based on the level of the lottery card and the internal winning combination determined in the CZ. The lottery value is assigned so that one of (friend attack) is determined.

  For example, when the lottery card level is 1 and the internal winning combination is "Replay", the "enemy attack" is determined with the probability of 31744/32768, and the "friend attack" is determined with the probability of 1024/32768. . Also, when the level of the lottery card is 7 and the internal winning combination is "Replay", "Enemy Attack" is determined with a probability of 24576/32768, and "Allied Attack" is determined with a probability of 8192/32768. . That is, the higher the level of the lottery card, the easier it is to obtain the right to attack.

<AT winning lottery table>
FIG. 37 shows an AT acquisition / lottery table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. This AT acquisition / lottery table is referred to in the processing during CZ described later in the explanation of FIG. 66, and whether or not AT becomes acquisition in CZ (that is, whether or not the AT transition condition for transitioning to the first AT period is satisfied) Used to make decisions.

  As shown in FIG. 37, the AT acquisition / lottery table indicates that the AT is not acquired (AT not winning), or the AT is acquired, based on the CZ level, the lottery card level, and the internal winning combination determined in the CZ. A lottery value is assigned such that any of what is done (AT winning) is determined.

  For example, when the CZ level is 1, the lottery card level is 1 and the internal winning combination is "Replay", "AT not won" is determined with a probability of 31768/32768, and with a probability of 1000/32768. "AT winning" is decided. Also, when the CZ level is 1, the lottery card level is 2, and the internal winning combination is "Replay", "AT not won" is determined with a probability of 31268/32768, with a probability of 1500/32768. "AT winning" is decided. Also, when the CZ level is 2, the lottery card level is 1, and the internal winning combination is "Replay", "AT not won" is determined with a probability of 31268/32768, with a probability of 1500/32768. "AT winning" is decided. Also, when the CZ level is 2 and the lottery card level is 2 and the internal winning combination is "Replay", "AT not won" is determined with a probability of 30768/32768, with a probability of 2000/32768. "AT winning" is decided. That is, the higher the CZ level, the easier the AT can be obtained, and the higher the lottery card level, the easier the AT can be obtained.

  In the AT acquisition / lottery table shown in FIG. 37, when there is a special card associated with the lottery card, a different table may be defined according to the type of the special card. For example, when the "special card (attack force + 1)" is associated with the "lottery card LV1", the level of the lottery card is incremented by 1, and the AT value is acquired by the lottery value specified in the "lottery card LV2". Instead of executing the above, it is also possible to define a lottery value as “lottery card LV1” + “special card (attack force + 1)”, and to execute AT acquisition lottery. In this case, the AT acquisition lottery may be executed with the same expectation as the “lottery card LV2”, or it may be different from the expectation in the “lottery card LV2” (the randomness value at which winning the AT is determined). AT acquisition / lottery may be performed at higher or lower).

<Lottery card disappearance lottery table>
FIG. 38 is a view showing a lottery card disappearance lottery table stored in the sub ROM 82. As shown in FIG. This lottery card disappearance lottery table is referred to in the process during CZ described later in the description of FIG. 66, and it is determined that the AT acquisition lottery based on the lottery card is not executed in CZ (ie, shown in FIG. 36 described above When the “enemy attack” is determined by the attack right acquisition lottery table), it is used to determine whether to extinguish the lottery card used for the lottery. In the present embodiment, if all of the lottery cards held by the player have disappeared before the AT is won in the CZ, the CZ fails, the CZ ends, and the game is shifted to the normal game (see FIG. See 49). In addition, as described above, when the special card of “special card (one time of disappearance avoidance)” is associated with the lottery card, the lottery card must be always selected without performing lottery using the lottery card disappearance lottery table. Annihilation will be avoided.

  As shown in FIG. 38, in the lottery card disappearance lottery table, the disappearance of the lottery card is avoided based on the level of the lottery card and the internal winning combination determined in CZ (destruction avoidance), or the lottery card A lottery value is assigned such that any of to disappear (extinction) is determined.

  For example, when the level of the lottery card is 1 and the internal winning combination is "Replay", the "disappearance avoidance" is determined with the probability of 24576/32768, and the "disappearance" is determined with the probability of 8192/32768. In addition, when the lottery card level is 8 and the internal winning combination is "Replay", "Avoidance" is determined with a probability of 32768/32768 and "disappearance" is not determined. That is, the higher the level of the lottery card, the harder it is for the lottery card to disappear.

<Re-lottery point lottery table>
FIG. 39 shows a re-lottery point lottery table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. This re-lottery point lottery table is referred to in the process during CZ described later in the description of FIG. The relottering point is determined when it is determined that the lottery card will disappear in CZ (that is, when "disappearance" is determined by the lottery card disappearance lottery table shown in FIG. 38 described above), and at the end of CZ This is one of the lottery elements used to determine whether or not an AT will be acquired (ie, whether an AT transition condition for transitioning to the first AT condition has been established) in the AT acquisition and re-lottery to be executed (Figure). 40).

  As shown in FIG. 39, in the re-lottery point lottery table, the re-lottery points are determined based on the presence / absence of preferential treatment (that is, whether “special card (re-lottery P preferential)” was associated with the extinct lottery card Not awarded (not won), re-lottery point is incremented by 1 (+1), re-lottery point is incremented by 2 (+2), re-lottery point is incremented by 3 (+3), re-lottery point Are assigned so that it is determined that 4 is added (+4) or that the re-lottery point is added 5 (+5).

  For example, in the case of no preferential treatment (no special card (re-lottery P preferential treatment)), the probability of 9826/32768 is determined as "not won", the probability of 21600/32768 is determined as "+1", 983/32768. The probability of “+2” is determined with the probability of 327/32768, the “+3” is determined with the probability of 32/32768, the “+4” is determined with the probability of 32/32768, and the “+5” is not determined. In addition, in the case of preferential treatment ("special card (re-lottery P preferential treatment)"), "non-winning" and "+1" are not determined, and "+2" is determined with a probability of 30771/32768, 1638/32768 The probability "+3" is determined, the probability 327/32768 is determined "+4", and the probability 32/32768 is determined "+5". That is, in the case of preferential treatment, the re-lottery points are more easily awarded.

<At the end of CZ AT acquisition re-lottery table>
FIG. 40 is a diagram showing a CZ end AT acquisition re-lottery table stored in the sub ROM 82. As shown in FIG. This CZ end time AT acquisition re-lottery table is referred to in the normal game processing which will be described later in the explanation of FIG. 67, and when CZ ends without acquiring AT, the first normal game (period start time) The AT acquisition and re-lottering is performed to determine whether or not an AT is acquired (ie, whether an AT transition condition for transitioning to the first AT period has been established). Note that the AT winning re-lottery may be performed in a game where CZ has ended.

  As shown in FIG. 40, the CZ end AT acquisition re-lottery table is that the AT is not acquired based on the re-lottery point and the internal winning combination determined at the start of the normal game cycle (AT not winning), Or, a lottery value is assigned such that it is determined that AT is acquired (AT winning).

  For example, when the re-lottery point is 0 to 2 and the internal winning combination is "Replay", "No AT win" is determined with a probability of 32544/32768, and "AT win" with a probability of 224/32768. Be done. In addition, when the re-lottery point is 10 or more and the internal winning combination is "Replay", "AT not won" is determined with a probability of 30720/32768, and "AT won" is determined with a probability of 2048/32768. Ru. That is, the higher the relottering point, the easier it is to obtain the AT. Furthermore, when the re-lottery point is 7 and the internal winning combination is "replay", "no AT win" is determined with a probability of 30720/32768 and "AT win" is determined with a probability of 2048/32768. . That is, even when the re-lottery point is a specific value (for example, 7), the AT is easily acquired.

<First AT period (normal) addition type lottery table>
FIG. 41 is a diagram showing a first AT period (normal) addition type lottery table stored in the sub ROM 82. As shown in FIG. This first AT period (normal) addition type lottery table is referred to in the processing during the first AT period described later in the description of FIG. 64, and is used to determine the type of addition or the like performed in the first AT period excluding JAC. . The configuration of the first AT period will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 41, the first AT period (normal) addition type lottery table is not to be added (not winning) based on the internal winning combination determined in the first AT period except during JAC, or a type such as addition The lottery value is assigned so that is determined. In FIG. 41 to FIG. 43 and FIG. 45, the internal winning combinations "Replays 1 to 8" are "Normal Lips 1 to 4" and "Bell Lips 1 to 4" (small part and replay data pointers 1 to 8). The internal winning combination "Replay 12, 13, 16" indicates "Cherry lip", "Strong cherry lip" and "Fake BAR lip" (small part replay data pointer 12, 13, 16). The internal winning combination "Replay 14, 15" indicates "BAR Lip 1" and "BAR Lip 2" (small part / replay data pointers 14, 15) (see FIG. 17).

  For example, when the internal winning combination is "Replay 1-8", "non winning" and "over zone transfer" are not determined, and "over number difference" is determined with a probability of 535 / 32,768, 31233/32768 The probability is used to determine "push order JAC", and the probability of 1000/32768 is used to determine "fixed JAC". In addition, when the internal winning combination is "strong bell", "push order JAC" and "confirmed JAC" are not determined, "not won" is determined with a probability of 30592/32768, and "probable with 2048/32768" The difference sheet number addition is determined, and the “addition zone transfer” is determined with a probability of 128/32768.

  In the present embodiment, in the first AT period, whether or not the first AT period is over is managed by the number of games (for example, 20 games) in the first AT period (normally) excluding during JAC (game number management In the second AT period, whether or not the second AT period is ended is managed by the difference number in the second AT period (difference number management). Here, with the difference number management, when any small winning combination is won in the unit game and the medals are paid out, the medals inserted in the unit game from the number of paid out sheets (for example, seven sheets) The net increase number (for example, 7−3 = 4) obtained by subtracting the insertion number (for example, 3), which is the number of sheets, is subtracted from the difference sheet counter (for example, the second AT management difference sheet counter) When the value of the difference sheet counter becomes 0 or less (or less than 0), the AT period (for example, the second AT period) is ended.

  However, the AT period management method is not limited to the above-described game number management and difference number management, and, for example, a notification frequency management method for managing the number of times that a turn order is notified, a predetermined game number It is also possible to adopt one of a set number management method of managing as one set, a continuation rate management method of managing a continuation rate at which the AT period continues, or a combination thereof. That is, in the case of "adding" to not end (continue) the "AT period", the number of games is added or the number of differences is added, and the number of times the push order is informed is added, It is assumed that the number of sets is added, the continuation rate is reset, or the continuation rate is set high, or a combination thereof.

  When the “difference sheet number addition” is determined, a difference sheet number addition lottery for managing the second AT period to be shifted after the end of the first AT period is executed (see FIG. 43). In addition, when “transition to the additional zone” is determined, the game is shifted to an additional zone to be described later from the next game, and in the additional zone, the number of games in the first AT period is added or the difference number in the second AT period is added.

  In addition, when “push order JAC” is determined, in which push order the stop operation is performed on the liquid crystal display device 11 (for example, which of the stop buttons 17L, 17C, and 17R is to be subjected to the first stop operation) Is displayed, and if the player's selected push order is a specific push order, the benefit of pushing order success and transitioning to JAC will be added. If the pushing order is different from the specific pushing order, the pushing order fails and the JAC will not shift.

  For example, when "Berlip 1" is determined as the internal winning combination, the specific pressing order is "medium first stop" (stop button 17C is first stop), and the player stops "medium first stop" When an operation is performed, a “middle step” different from the “ber lip” is displayed and it is defined that the pushing order is successful, and the player performs the stopping operation different from the “middle first stop” (for example, “ When the first left stop (the first stop of the stop button 17L) or the first stop to the right (the first stop of the stop button 17R) is performed, the "bell lip" is displayed, and the pressing order is not successful. Stipulate that In addition, when "Berlip 3" is determined as the internal winning combination, the specific pressing order is "right first stop" (stop button 17R is first stop), and the player stops "right first stop" When an operation is performed, a “middle step” different from the “ber lip” is displayed to define that the pushing order is successful, and the player performs the stopping operation different from the “first right stop” (for example, “ When the first left stop (stop the stop button 17L first) or "middle first stop" (stop the first stop button 17C) is performed, "BELL REP" is displayed and the pressing order fails. Stipulate that

  In addition, when the "confirmed JAC" is determined, the advantage of the push order success and transition to the JAC will be added regardless of which push order the stop operation is performed. When “Replay 1 to 8” is determined as the internal winning combination, and “determined JAC” is determined, the liquid crystal display device 11 displays an image that can specify the above-described specific pressing order. Then, if the stop operation is performed according to the display, the pushing order may be successful.

<First AT period (during JAC) addition type lottery table>
FIG. 42 is a diagram showing a first AT period (during JAC) addition type lottery table stored in the sub ROM 82. As shown in FIG. This first AT period (during JAC) addition type lottery table is referred to in the processing during the first AT described later in the description of FIG. 64, and is used to determine the type of addition etc performed during JAC of the first AT period. .

  As shown in FIG. 42, the first AT period (during JAC) addition type lottery table is not to be added based on the internal winning combination determined during the first AT period JAC (non winning), or a type such as addition The lottery value is assigned so that is determined.

  For example, when the internal winning combination is "Replay 1-8", "Additional zone transition", "push order JAC" and "confirmed JAC" are not determined, and "not won" is determined with a probability of 32233/32768. The "difference number addition" is determined with the probability of 535/32768. In addition, when the internal winning combination is "strong bell", "push order JAC" and "confirmed JAC" are not determined, "not won" is determined with a probability of 30592/32768, and "probable with 2048/32768" The difference sheet number addition is determined, and the “addition zone transfer” is determined with a probability of 128/32768.

<1st AT period addition difference number lottery table>
FIG. 43 is a diagram showing a first AT period added difference number lottery table stored in the sub ROM 82. As shown in FIG. The first AT period additional difference number lottery table is referred to in the processing during the first AT period described later in the description of FIG. 64, and the addition of the difference number is determined (that is, the first AT shown in FIG. 41 and FIG. When “difference number addition” is determined according to the period addition type lottery table), it is used to determine the difference number to be added.

  As shown in FIG. 43, in the first AT period additional difference number lottery table, five sheets are added as a difference number based on the internal winning combination determined in the first AT period (+5), and 10 as a difference number The number of sheets to be added (+10), the number of sheets to be added by 20 sheets (+20), the number of sheets to be added by 30 sheets (+30), the number of sheets to be added by 50 sheets A lottery value is assigned such that it is determined that (+50) or 100 (plus 100) be added as the difference sheet number.

  For example, when the internal winning combination is "strong bell", "+5" is determined with a probability of 16384/32768, "+10" is determined with a probability of 13806/32768, and "+20" with a probability of 2048/32768. It is determined that “+30” is determined with a probability of 512/32768, “+50” is determined with a probability of 16/32768, and “+100” is determined with a probability of 2/32768.

<First AT period (at JAC) Add-on difference number lottery table>
FIG. 44 is a diagram showing a first AT period (at the time of JAC) addition difference number lottery table stored in the sub ROM 82. As shown in FIG. This first AT period (JAC) additional difference number lottery table is referred to in the processing at the time of receiving a prize operation command described later in the description of FIG. 69, and it is determined that transition is made during JAC (that is, FIG. If the "push order JAC" is determined by the first AT period (normal) addition type lottery table shown in and the stop operation is performed in the specific push order described above, and if the "confirmed JAC" is determined) Used to determine the number of differences.

  As shown in FIG. 44, the first AT period (JAC) additional difference number lottery table is a difference depending on whether the determined JAC type is “push order JAC” or “confirmed JAC”. The number of sheets is 5 sheets (+5), the number of sheets is 10 sheets (+10), the number of sheets is 20 sheets (+20), and the number of sheets is 30 Is added (+30), the difference sheet is added by 50 sheets (+50), and the difference sheet is added by 100 sheets (+100) so that the lottery value is determined. It is assigned.

  For example, when the JAC type is "confirmed JAC", "+5" is determined with a probability of 16384/32768, "+10" is determined with a probability of 13806/32768, and "+20" is a probability with 2048/32768. It is determined that “+30” is determined with a probability of 512/32768, “+50” is determined with a probability of 16/32768, and “+100” is determined with a probability of 2/32768.

<2nd AT period addition type lottery table>
FIG. 45 shows a second AT period addition type lottery table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. The second AT period addition type lottery table is referred to in processing during a second AT period described later in the description of FIG. 65, and is used to determine a type such as addition performed in the second AT period. The configuration of the second AT period will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 45, the second AT period additional classification type lottery table is a lottery such that a type such as non-addition (non-winning) or addition is determined based on the internal winning combination determined in the second AT period. A value has been assigned. In addition, the type of addition “difference number addition” and “addition zone transfer” are the same as those in the first AT period.

  For example, when the internal winning combination is "strong bell", "not winning" is determined with a probability of 32384/32768, "addition of the number of differences" is determined with a probability of 128/32768, "with a probability of 128/32768" "Additional zone transition" is determined, and "special card acquisition" is determined with a probability of 128/32768. The types of special cards that can be acquired in the second AT period will be described later.

<2nd AT period addition difference number lottery table>
FIG. 46 is a diagram showing a second AT period added difference number random determination table stored in the sub ROM 82. As shown in FIG. The second AT period additional difference number lottery table is referred to in the processing during the second AT period described later in the description of FIG. 65, and when the difference number addition is determined (that is, the second AT period additional type shown in FIG. It is used to determine the number of difference sheets to be added (when “difference sheet addition” is determined by the lottery table).

  As shown in FIG. 46, in the second AT period additional difference number random determination table, even if any internal winning combination is determined, five sheets are added as a difference number (+5), as a difference number 10 sheets added (+10), 20 sheets added as a difference (+20), 30 sheets added as a difference (+30), 50 sheets added as a difference A lottery value is assigned such that it is determined that one of (+50) and the addition of 100 sheets as a difference sheet (+100) is to be performed.

  For example, "+5" is determined with a probability of 24576/32768, "+10" is determined with a probability of 7680/32768, "+20" is determined with a probability of 384/32768, "+30" with a probability of 128/32768 Are determined, and "+50" and "+100" are not determined.

<Second AT period special card lottery table>
FIG. 47 shows a second AT period special card random determination table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. This second AT period special card lottery table is referred to in the processing during the second AT period described later in the description of FIG. 65, and it is determined that the special card is to be acquired (that is, the second AT period addition shown in FIG. When "special card acquisition" is determined by the type lottery table), it is used to determine the type of special card to be acquired.

  As shown in FIG. 47, the second AT period special card lottery table is based on the internal winning combination determined in the second AT period as “special card (chance winning probability high probability)”, “special card (watermelon winning time)”. "Probability is high", "Special card (Cherry winning probability high probability)", "Special card (difference number subtraction throw)" or "Special card (difference number subtraction stop)" special cards are determined A lottery value has been assigned.

  For example, when the internal winning combination is "strong bell", "special card (chance award high probability)" is determined with a probability of 3642/32768, and "special card (watermelon winning time with a probability of 3641/32768)". “Probability)” is determined, “Special card (Cherry winning probability high probability)” is determined with a probability of 3641/32768, “Special card (difference number subtraction throw)” is determined with a probability of 10922/32768, and 10922 / The "special card (difference number subtraction stop)" is determined with the probability of 32768.

  In the present embodiment, the special cards that can be acquired during the second AT period are “special card (chance winning chance high probability)”, “special card (watermelon winning time high probability)”, “special card (cherry winning) Five types of “high probability”, “special card (difference number subtraction throw)” and “special card (difference number subtraction stop)” are defined.

  The “special card (chance winning combination high probability)” enables AT lottery to be performed with higher expectation than usual when “chance winning combination” is determined as an internal winning combination in the second AT period. Card (see FIG. 48). In addition, also in the type-of-addition sort (see FIG. 45), the type-of-addition sort lottery may be performed with a higher degree of expectation than usual. For example, when “special card (chance winning probability high probability)” is acquired, “non winning” is determined with a probability of 16384/32768, and “difference number addition” is determined with 8192/32768, and 8192 / The "special card acquisition" may be determined with the probability of 32768. Note that the method for raising the lottery value or the expectation which is changed to increase the expectation is not limited to this.

  The “special card (watermelon winning probability)” is for the AT acquisition lottery to be performed with higher expectation than usual when “watermelon” is determined as the internal winning combination in the second AT period. It is a card (see FIG. 48). In addition, also in the type-of-addition sort (see FIG. 45), the type-of-addition sort lottery may be performed with a higher degree of expectation than usual. For example, when "special card (watermelon win time high probability)" is acquired, "non winning" is determined with the probability of 28672/32768, "difference number addition" is determined with 2048/32768, and 2048/32768 The "special card acquisition" may be determined with the probability of. Note that the method for raising the lottery value or the expectation which is changed to increase the expectation is not limited to this.

  The “special card (cherry to win high probability)” is the second AT period, when “weak cherries” or “strong cherries” are determined as internal winning combinations, AT gaining lottery is performed with higher expectation than usual. It is a card for making it be known (see FIG. 48). In addition, also in the type-of-addition sort (see FIG. 45), the type-of-addition sort lottery may be performed with a higher degree of expectation than usual. For example, if the internal winning combination is "weak cherry" when "special card (cherry wins high probability)" is acquired, "not win" is determined with a probability of 28416/32768, and 2048 “Adding the difference number” is determined at / 32768, “transition to the added zone” is determined at the probability of 256/32768, and “special card acquisition” may be determined at the probability of 2048/32768. In addition, when the internal winning combination is "strong cherry", "non winning" is not determined, "difference number addition" is determined in 16384/32768, and "over zone transfer" is made with a probability of 2048/32768. It is determined that “special card acquisition” is determined with a probability of 14336/32768. Note that the method for raising the lottery value or the expectation which is changed to increase the expectation is not limited to this.

  The “special card (difference number subtraction slowing)” is a card for changing the value to be subtracted from the second AT management difference number counter in the second AT period. In the present embodiment, the value (net increase number) to be subtracted from the second AT management difference sheet counter is 1⁄2 (half) when the “special card (difference sheet subtraction throw)” is acquired. It is controlled. For example, when winning in a push order bell, "7 paid-out sheets-3 inserted sheets = 4 sheets" is normally subtracted from the second AT management difference sheet counter, but "special card (special card ( When the difference sheet subtraction throw) is obtained, “seven sheets paid out−three sheets inserted = 4 sheets × 1⁄2 = 2 sheets” is subtracted from the second AT management difference sheet counter. For this reason, when the "special card (difference number subtraction throw)" is obtained, the second AT period is substantially extended (continued).

  The mode for changing the value to be subtracted from the second AT management difference sheet counter according to the "special card (difference sheet subtraction throw)" is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of change rates (subtraction rates) may be defined, and the type of special card corresponding thereto may be defined. Specifically, "special card (difference number subtraction slow 1/2)", which is controlled so that the value subtracted from the second AT management difference sheet counter is 1/2, and the second AT management difference sheet The value to be subtracted from the counter is controlled to be 1/3, and the value to be subtracted from the "special card (difference number subtraction slow 1/3)" and the second AT management difference number counter is 1/4 The “special card (difference number subtraction throw 1/4)” is controlled so that the value to be subtracted from the second AT management difference number counter at the rate of change associated with the acquired special card It may be changed. In addition, the type of special card may be defined in which a change rate (magnification) which is disadvantageous to the player is defined. Specifically, “special card (difference number subtraction acceleration double)” may be defined, which is controlled such that the value subtracted from the second AT management difference number counter is doubled.

  In addition, by calculating the above-mentioned change rate (subtraction rate and magnification) and the value to be subtracted from the second AT management difference sheet counter, a value less than the minimum payout unit (for example, one medal) is calculated in the calculation result. If it occurs, the value less than the minimum payout unit may be discarded or advanced. In addition, a value less than the minimum payout unit is held, and a value less than the minimum payout unit is added at the next update timing of the second AT management difference sheet counter, and then a predetermined change rate (subtraction rate The magnification factor) and a value to be subtracted from the second AT management difference sheet counter may be calculated.

  In addition, whether or not the "special card (difference number subtraction throw)" disappears may be determined by lottery for each game based on the internal winning combination, and a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games) It may be made to disappear based on having played the game of. In addition, it may be made to disappear based on the occurrence of a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) of winnings for "pushing order bell". In addition, when the “special card (difference number subtraction throw)” is acquired, the number of games to be extinguished or the number of winnings of “push order bell” may be determined by lottery.

  The “special card (difference number subtraction stop)” is a card for preventing the value from being subtracted from the second AT management difference number counter in the second AT period. In the present embodiment, when the “special card (difference number subtraction stop)” is acquired, control is performed so that the value is not subtracted from the second AT management difference number counter. For this reason, when the "special card (difference number subtraction stop)" is acquired, the second AT period is extended (continue) further than when the "special card (difference number subtraction throw)" is acquired. It will be.

  It should be noted that whether or not the "special card (difference number subtraction stop)" disappears may be determined by lottery for each game based on the internal winning combination, and a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games) It may be made to disappear based on having played the game of. In addition, it may be made to disappear based on the occurrence of a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times) of winnings for "pushing order bell". In addition, when the “special card (difference number subtraction stop)” is acquired, the number of games to be extinguished or the number of winnings of “push order bell” may be determined by lottery.

  In addition, when "special card (difference number subtraction throw)" and "special card (difference number subtraction stop)" are obtained, "special card (difference number subtraction stop)" is more advantageous to the player. From the point of view, the "special card (difference number subtraction stop)" may be used with priority.

<Second AT period AT winning lottery table>
FIG. 48 shows a second AT period AT acquisition / lottery table stored in sub ROM 82. Referring to FIG. The second AT period AT acquisition / lottery table is referred to in the processing during the second AT period described later in the description of FIG. 65, and whether to transition from the second AT period to the first AT period again (that is, transition to the first AT period in the second AT period) Is used to determine whether or not the AT transition condition has been established.

  As shown in FIG. 48, the second AT period AT acquisition lottery table is a special card, such as “special card (chance winning chance high probability)”, “special card (watermelon winning time probability)” or “special card (cherry) If AT is not obtained (AT is not won), or AT is obtained (AT on the basis of whether or not the player holds “high probability of winning)” and the internal winning combination determined in the second AT period. Lottery values are assigned such that any of the winnings) is determined.

  For example, when there is no special card and the internal winning combination is the "chance player", the "non-AT winning" is determined with the probability of 26232/32768, and the "AT winning" is determined with the probability of 6536/32768. In addition, when there is a "special card (chance winning combination high probability)" and the internal winning combination is "chance winning", "AT not winning" is determined with a probability of 19696/32768, with a probability of 13072/32768. "AT winning" is decided. Further, when there is no special card and the internal winning combination is "watermelon", "AT not won" is determined with a probability of 28412/32768, and "AT won" is determined with a probability of 4356/32768. In addition, when there is a "special card (watermelon winning high probability)" and the internal winning combination is "watermelon", "AT not winning" is determined with a probability of 24056/32768 and "AT at a probability of 8712/32768. The winner is determined. In addition, when there is no special card and the internal winning combination is "strong cherry", "AT not winning" is determined with a probability of 21326/32768, and "AT winning" is determined with a probability of 11442/32768. Also, when there is a "special card (Cherry win time high probability)" and the internal winning combination is "strong cherry", "AT not win" is determined with a probability of 9884/32768, and with a probability of 22884/32768. "AT win" is decided.

[Flow of game of pachislot machine]
Next, the flow of gaming of the pachislot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 49 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of gaming in the pachislot machine according to the present embodiment.

  First, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, assuming that the player plays a game, it is roughly classified into an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player and a normal gaming state relatively disadvantageous than the advantageous gaming state. Be done.

  Further, the advantageous game state includes an additional zone which is an additional period in which the first AT period and the second AT period, which have different game characteristics, and the number of continuation of these AT periods are added. Further, the normal gaming state includes a normal gaming with a low degree of expectation for transitioning to the advantageous gaming state, and a CZ (chance zone) having a high degree of expectation for transitioning to the advantageous gaming state.

<Normal game>
In the normal game, CZ transition points, CZ levels, and lottery of cards are executed (see FIGS. 28 to 30, 32, and 33), and the lottery results are accumulated and stored. In addition, an AT direct lottery is performed (see FIG. 31), and when AT wins, it shifts to the first AT period. In the normal game, a predetermined number of games (32 games) is defined as one cycle, and when the CZ shift condition is satisfied at the end of the cycle (see FIG. 34), the process shifts to CZ.

  In addition, the CZ transition condition is satisfied by winning the CZ transition lottery which is executed when the CZ transition point is 4 points or more and the CZ transition point is 0 to 3 points at the end of the normal game cycle. Do. In addition, when the CZ transition point is 0 to 3 points, an effect (CZ transition result notification effect) which is finally shown whether or not to transition to CZ at the end of the cycle is executed over a plurality of games, The player is notified of transitioning to CZ (or not transitioning to CZ).

  In addition, the timing to determine whether the CZ transition condition is established is not limited to the end of the normal game cycle, for example, even when winning a specific internal winning combination (as one example, "watermelon") Good. Also, for example, a predetermined internal winning combination (as an example, "Bell lip 1 to 4") is won, and the stopping operation is performed in a predetermined stopping operation sequence (see FIG. 19) and a combination of predetermined symbols (as an example) , "Berlip") may be displayed. In this case, it may be determined whether to notify this predetermined stop operation order. Further, in this case, a notification may be made to allow the player to select whether or not to perform the stop operation in the predetermined stop operation order. With this configuration, the player is made to select the timing at which it is determined whether the CZ transition condition is satisfied or not based on the current CZ transition point, the current CZ level, or the information of the current possessed card. As a result, it is possible to improve the playability regarding CZ transition.

<CZ (Chance Zone)>
In CZ, an AT-acquired lottery (that is, a transitional lottery to the first AT period) is executed based on the CZ level acquired in the normal game and the level of the lottery card (see FIG. 37), and CZ success and AT win. And shift to the first AT period. It should be noted that, based on the level of the lottery card, it is randomly determined whether or not to acquire the right (attack right) for the AT acquired lottery to be executed (see FIG. 35), on the premise that the AT acquired lottery is executed. As in the first AT period, the second AT period, and the additional zone, CZ may be notified of the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous for the player, and may be a period in which the medals can be increased.

  In addition, if the AT acquisition lottery can not acquire the right (attack right) to be executed, it is determined by lottery whether or not the lottery card used for the lottery is extinguished (see FIG. 38), and is extinguished. When it is determined, the lottery card used for the lottery disappears. Here, as described above, since four lottery cards are stored at all times, in CZ, it is determined whether or not to acquire the right (attack right) to execute the AT acquisition lottery at least four times. It will be executed. When it is determined that the lottery card is to disappear, it is determined by lottery whether or not a re-lottery point is to be given (see FIG. 39).

  When a special card is obtained in the normal game, it is determined by lottery that the special card is associated with which lottery card at the start of CZ (see FIG. 35), and the above-described various lottery players are players Is controlled to be advantageous to the

  In this manner, in CZ, based on the lottery card acquired in the normal game, the lottery for whether to acquire the right (attack right) for the AT acquisition lottery to be executed is executed, and the AT acquisition lottery is executed. When the right (attack right) is acquired, the AT acquisition / lottery is further executed, and when AT wins, the CZ is successful and the first AT period is shifted. On the other hand, the AT acquisition lottery can not acquire the right to execute (attack right), or the AT acquisition lottery has acquired the right to execute (attack right), but AT won in AT acquisition lottery. If all of the lottery cards disappear, the CZ will fail and the game will shift to the normal game. In the case of CZ failure and transition to normal game, AT winning re-lottery is executed based on the re-lottery points awarded in CZ at the start of the normal gaming cycle (see FIG. 40), and AT wins When it becomes, it will shift to the 1st AT period.

  In CZ, the mode in which the AT acquisition lottery is executed, and the mode in which the lottery whether or not to erase the lottery card is executed are not limited to this. For example, the right (AT attack lottery right is executed (attack It is also possible that the AT acquisition / lottery is executed directly or the lottery of whether or not the lottery card is deleted is executed directly without performing the lottery of whether or not to acquire the rights. For example, in CZ, first, an AT-acquisition lottery may be performed, and when AT does not win, a lottery may be performed as to whether or not the lottery card is to be deleted.

  In addition, in CZ, one or more lottery cards may be used one for each game and each lottery described above may be executed, or all the lottery cards may be executed in one game. It may be used to perform each of the above-mentioned lotterys. In the former case, there is an advantage that the player's sense of expectation can be maintained by lengthening the number of games in CZ to a certain extent, and in the latter case, the lottery result in CZ can be notified promptly to the player. There is an advantage that it can be made not to feel the fatigue of the game. However, the player may be able to select the number of lottery cards (ie, the number of lottery rights) used in one game in CZ. According to this configuration, since the lottery result in CZ is notified at the timing desired by the player, it becomes possible to notify the lottery result in accordance with the preference of the player.

<First AT period>
The first AT period is a period in which the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous for the player is informed and the number of medals can be increased, except when the additional classification “push order JAC” is determined. The first AT period is composed of the first AT period (normal) and the first AT period (during JAC), and in the first AT period (normal), the additional type “push order JAC” is determined and the push order is successful. If the additional classification type “determined JAC” is determined, the first AT period (during JAC) is entered, and “pushing order bell” is repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, five times) in the first AT period (during JAC) ) Based on winning, transition to the first AT period (normal) again. In addition, when the number of games (the value of the first AT management game number counter) in the first AT period (normal) reaches a predetermined number (for example, 20 games), the first AT period ends, and the process shifts to the second AT period.

  In addition, when the additional type “difference addition number addition” is determined in the first AT period, the value of the second AT management difference number counter indicating the number of games for which the second AT period continues is added (added). In addition, when the type of addition "transition to the addition zone" is determined in the first AT period, the transition to the addition zone is made, and when the end condition is satisfied in the addition zone, the addition zone ends, and the transition to the first AT period occurs again.

<Second AT period>
The second AT period is a period in which the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous to the player is informed following the first AT period, and the medals can be increased. If a small winning combination (for example, "push order bell") is won in the second AT period, the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter is subtracted according to the difference sheet number at the time of winning, and the second AT management difference sheet counter When the value of becomes less than or equal to 0, the second AT period ends, and the game shifts to the normal game.

  In addition, when the type of addition "difference sheet addition" is determined in the second AT period, the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter is added (added). In addition, when the type of addition "transition to the addition zone" is determined in the second AT period, the transition to the addition zone is made, and when the end condition is satisfied in the addition zone, the addition zone is ended and transition is made again to the second AT period. When the AT wins in the second AT period, the second AT period is again transferred to the first AT period while maintaining the current value of the second AT management difference sheet counter, and the second AT transition difference sheet is further transferred in the first AT period. It is possible to add (add) the value of the counter.

<Additional zone>
The additional zone is a period in which the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous to the player is informed, and the medal can be increased, and the value of the second AT management difference number counter indicating the number of games continued by the second AT period is It is a period to be added (added). In the additional zone, for example, on the basis of the internal winning combination, a different number of additional lotterys are performed for each unit game. In addition, in the additional zone, a specific number of games (for example, 4 games) is set as one set, and at the start or end of one set, continuous lottery whether or not to continue the next set is executed. In this case, the additional lottery of the difference number is performed again during the next set. On the other hand, when the continuous lottery is not won, the additional zone ends and the first AT period or the second AT period is shifted.

  In addition, the above-mentioned determines whether or not to continue the set in the additional zone according to the transition opportunity (for example, the internal winning combination in which the additional type “additional zone transition” is determined ”) at the time of transition of the additional zone. The probability ("continuation rate") to win the continuous lottery of "" is determined from among a plurality of predetermined continuation rates (eg, 1%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%), It is decided to carry out continuous lottery in accordance with the continuation rate. However, the mode for determining whether or not to continue the additional zone is not limited to this. For example, it may be determined in advance how many sets are to be continued according to the transition opportunity at the time of transition of the additional zone. . Further, whether or not the additional zone is to be continued may be managed by the above-described game number management, difference sheet number management, and notification frequency management method.

  In addition, the additional benefits determined in the additional zone are not limited to those described above. For example, in the additional zone transferred from the first AT period, a lottery may be executed to increase the number of games during the first AT period (normal), or the right to perform the first AT period again from the beginning (ie, normal game or CZ) It is also possible to carry out a lottery in which the same benefit as “at win” is added. In addition, in the additional zone transferred from the second AT period, in addition to the above-mentioned benefits, a lottery may be performed to add the right to shift to the first AT period (that is, the same benefit as “at win” in the second AT period). It is also good.

[Main control processing]
Next, various processes executed by the main CPU 51 of the main control circuit 41 will be described with reference to FIGS.

<Main control process>
FIG. 50 is a flowchart showing main control processing. The main control process described below is started when the pachi-slot machine 1 is powered on.

  First, when the pachi-slot machine 1 is powered on, the main CPU 51 executes a power-on process shown in FIG. 51 (S10). In the power-on process, it is determined whether the backup is normal, whether the setting has been properly changed, and the like, and an initialization process according to the determination result is executed.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes initialization processing at the end of one game (one unit game) (S11). In this initialization process, a storage area designated in advance to be initialized at the end of one game is initialized. By this initialization process, for example, data stored in the internal winning combination storing area and the display combination storing area of the main RAM 53 is cleared.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes medal acceptance / start check processing shown in FIG. 52 (S12). In the medal acceptance / start check process, a process of detecting a medal inserted by a player and a process of detecting a start operation are executed.

  Next, the main CPU 51 extracts random number values and stores them in the random number value storage area allocated to the main RAM 53 (S13). Here, the random number value is a value used for internal lottery processing, and in the present embodiment, it is extracted from among 0 to 65535. Note that, for example, when random number values used for lock determination processing described later are required, it is also possible to extract further different random number values in this processing.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes an internal lottery process shown in FIG. 53 (S14). The main CPU 51 that executes this internal lottery process constitutes an internal winning combination determination means.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes lock determination processing (S15). In this lock determination process, the above-mentioned lottery of whether or not to perform the "lock", the lottery of whether or not to perform the "reel action", and the setting of various flags and timers necessary for executing the lock and the reel action etc. To be done. For example, when "BAR lip 1" or "BAR lip 2" is determined as the internal winning combination, it is determined to execute the lock and reel action with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/2). In addition, in the state management process described later, when the output of the external signal is started, it is decided to execute the “lock”.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes reel stop initialization processing (S16). In the reel stop initial setting process, various stop control information of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R described above are stored in the corresponding area of the main RAM 53 based on the result of the internal lottery process (internal winning combination).

  Next, the main CPU 51 generates start command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the generated start command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 53 (S17). The start command data is data that enables the sub CPU 81 to recognize, for example, the type of internal winning combination, the type of gaming state flag, the type of lock and its period, the bonus end number counter value, and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes wait processing (S18). In this weight processing, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game start (the start of the last unit game), and if it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the predetermined time has elapsed The waiting time to wait until you are digested. The predetermined time in this weight processing, that is, the weight time, is set to, for example, 4.1 seconds from the start of the last unit game.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes a game start lock execution process (S19). In this lock execution process, based on the determination result in the lock determination process in S15, the lock at the start of the game and the reel action during the lock execution (i.e., the effect by the fluctuation mode of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R), etc. Be done.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes a reel rotation start process of rotating all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R (S20). Along with the reel rotation start processing, “01110000” is stored in the operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 26). The reel rotation start control is executed by the interrupt process shown in FIG. 54 (more specifically, the reel control process shown in S324). This interrupt process is a process that is periodically executed every fixed period (1.1172 ms).

  The driving of the stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R is controlled by this interruption process, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started. Thereafter, the driving of the stepping motors 61L, 61C, and 61R is controlled by this interruption processing, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is accelerated until the rotation reaches a constant speed.

  Further, when the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R reaches a constant speed, the driving of the stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R is controlled by this interruption processing so that the reels 3L, 3C, 3R rotate at a constant speed. Maintained. When the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R reaches a constant speed and the above-described reel index is detected, the stop operation to the stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R is permitted.

  Next, the main CPU 51 generates reel rotation start command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the generated reel rotation start command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 53 S21). The reel rotation start command data is, for example, data that enables the sub CPU 81 to recognize that the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R has been started.

  By receiving the reel rotation start command data, the sub control circuit 42 can recognize the reel rotation start, and can determine the timing and the like of executing various effects.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes reel stop control processing (S22). Stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed by this reel stop control processing. Although not shown, in the reel stop control processing, the main CPU 51 generates reel stop command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42, and the generated reel stop command data is transmitted to the main RAM 53. Store in the allocated communication data storage area. The reel stop command data includes the type of reel to be stopped, the stop start position (that is, the symbol position when the stop button is operated), and the number of sliding symbols or the planned stop position (that is, the reel actually stops). The symbol position or the like is data that can be recognized by the sub CPU 81.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes a winning search process (S23). In this winning search process, after all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R have stopped, the symbol combination displayed on the activated line is compared with the symbol combination table, and the symbol combination displayed on the activated line is identified. Ru.

  Specifically, the data stored in the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 23) and the data of the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 12 to 14) are collated, and as a result of the collation, if there is a match The data corresponding to the matched symbol combination (display combination) is stored in the display combination storing area (see FIG. 22), and the payout number (disbursed number counter value) associated with the symbol combination is acquired.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes medal payout processing for paying out the number of medals according to the obtained payout number counter value as a result of the winning search processing (S24). In this medal payout process, control of the hopper drive circuit 65 and update of the number of credits are performed based on the payout number counter value.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes state management processing (S25). In this state management process, ON or OFF of the output of an external signal from the above-described external concentrated terminal board is managed. For example, when the internal winning combination is "push bell", when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined push order that does not result in the payout of "7 sheets", the output of the external signal from the external concentrated terminal board is turned on When the stop operation is performed in a pushing order that is not a payout of “7 sheets” and is different from the predetermined pushing order, the output of the external signal from the external concentrated terminal plate is turned off. When the first AT period is started, the predetermined order of pressing is notified only once under the control of the sub CPU 81, and the main AT 51 is also operated according to the stop operation according to the notification. It is recognized that it starts.

  Specifically, when the internal winning combination is "middle left and right cross-up bell 1 to 3", the predetermined pushing order is defined as "right, left and middle", and the internal winning combination is "middle left and right lower bell 1 to 3". In some cases, when the predetermined pushing order is defined as "right middle left" and the internal winning combination is "middle right left cross-up bell 1 to 3", the predetermined pushing order is defined as "right left middle" and the internal winning combination is made. When the combination is "middle right left lower bell 1 to 3", the predetermined pressing order is defined as "right middle left", and when the internal winning combination is "right left middle middle bell 1 to 3", the predetermined pushing order is defined. Is defined as “middle left and right” and “right lower middle lower bell 1 to 3”, the predetermined pressing order is defined as “middle right left”, and “right middle left lower bell 3 to 3” is predetermined Is defined as “middle left and right” and “right middle left lower bell 1 to 3” The predetermined pushing order is defined as "middle right left".

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes a game end lock execution process (S26). In the game termination lock execution process, lock or the like at the end of the game is executed based on predetermined execution conditions. For example, as described above, when the internal winning combination is "push order bell", if a stop operation is performed in a predetermined push order that does not result in the payout of "7 sheets", a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) The lock is to be performed over

  Next, the main CPU 51 generates winning operation command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the generated winning operation command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 53 (S27) . The winning operation command data is, for example, data that enables the sub CPU 81 to recognize the type of display combination, the number-of-payouts counter value, and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes bonus end check processing (S28). By the bonus end check process, a process of ending the operation of the BB is executed when the end condition of the BB is satisfied.

  More specifically, in the bonus end check process, it is determined whether or not the current payout sheet counter value is subtracted from the bonus end number counter value stored in the bonus operation check process described later. When it is determined that the value is a negative value, the BB end process is executed. In the BB end processing, the BB gaming state flag and the RB gaming state flag are turned off, and the gaming state is shifted to the RT0 gaming state.

  Although not shown, in the bonus end check process, the main CPU 51 generates bonus end command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42, and the generated bonus end command data is transmitted to the main RAM 53. Store in the allocated communication data storage area. The bonus end command data is data that enables the sub CPU 81 to recognize, for example, that BB has ended.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes a bonus operation check process (S29). In the bonus operation check process, a process of performing BB operation or the like is executed based on the combination of the symbols displayed by the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. After executing the processing of step S29, the main CPU 51 returns to the processing of step S11.

  Specifically, in the bonus operation check process, first, it is determined whether the display combination is BB. Then, when it is determined that the display combination is BB, processing at BB operation is executed. In the BB activation process, the BB gaming state flag and the RB gaming state flag are turned on, and "75" is set as the value of the bonus end number counter. Also, the carryover combination storage area is cleared (the value of bit 0 is reset to “0”). Next, if it is determined that the display combination is not BB, it is determined whether the display combination is a replay. Then, when it is determined that the display combination is replay, an automatic insertion request is made. That is, control is performed such that the number of inserted pieces (three pieces) in the unit game this time is automatically inserted in the next unit game. If it is determined that the display combination is not a replay, the process ends.

  Although not shown, in the bonus operation check process, the main CPU 51 generates bonus start command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42, and the generated bonus start command data is transmitted to the main RAM 53. Store in the allocated communication data storage area. The bonus start command data is data that enables the sub CPU 81 to recognize that, for example, BB has started.

<Power-on process>
FIG. 51 is a flow chart showing a power-on process executed in step S10 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether the backup is normal (S30). In this judgment processing, it is judged whether the backup is normal or not by error detection using a checksum value.

  For example, the main CPU 51 stores the setting value of the pachislot machine 1 and the check sum value calculated from the setting value of the pachislot machine 1 as backup data in the main RAM 53 at the time of power off, and the judgment processing at the time of power on (S30) , And reads the set value and the like stored in the main RAM 53 and the checksum value.

  Then, the main CPU 51 compares the checksum calculated from the read setting value and the like with the checksum that has been backed up, and determines that the backup is normal if the comparison result matches.

  When the main CPU 51 determines that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 51 sets the backed up setting values and the like in the main RAM 53 (S31). As a result, when the backup is normal, the setting value before the power-off is set in the main RAM 53.

  After executing the process of step S31, or when determining that the backup is not normal in step S30 (NO), the main CPU 51 is a setting change switch (not shown) provided in the cabinet 2a of the pachislot machine 1 It is determined whether or not the) is on (S32). Here, when determining that the setting change switch is on (YES), the main CPU 51 executes initialization processing at the time of setting change (S33).

  In the initialization process at the time of the setting change, for example, data stored in the internal winning combination storing area, the symbol code storing area, and the display combination storing area of the main RAM 53 are cleared, and the setting value is cleared. Note that the data stored in the carryover combination storage area may or may not be cleared.

  Next, the main CPU 51 generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the generated initialization command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 53 (S34) . The initialization command data is, for example, data that enables the sub CPU 81 to recognize the presence or absence of a setting value change and the setting value.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes setting value change processing (S35). In this setting value changing process, the setting value is selected from among 1 to 6 in accordance with the operation result of the reset switch (not shown) provided in the cabinet 2a of the pachislot machine 1, and subsequently, The set value selected when the start lever 16 is operated is decided.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the setting change switch is in the on state (S36), and repeatedly executes the process of step S36 until the determination result is not in the on state.

  Here, when the determination result that the setting change switch is not in the on state is obtained (that is, when the setting change switch is turned off from on) (NO), the main control circuit 41 performs sub-control The initialization command data to be transmitted to the circuit 42 is generated, and the generated initialization command data is stored in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 53 (S37), and the power-on process is ended.

  In step S32, when the main CPU 51 determines that the setting change switch is not turned on (NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether the backup is normal (S38). Here, if it is determined that the backup is not normal (NO), the main CPU 51 executes power-on error processing (S39).

  In the power-on error process, the main CPU 51 displays that the backup is not normal by an error display or the like. In the state of an error (backup error) where the backup is not normal, the main CPU 51 does not release the error state by the operation of the stop release switch (not shown) or the reset switch (not shown). The error state is canceled only when the setting is newly changed.

  If it is determined in step S38 that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 51 restores the state of the pachislot machine 1 to the state before the power failure based on the backup data stored in the main RAM 53. (S40), the power-on process ends.

<Medal acceptance and start check processing>
FIG. 52 is a flow chart showing the medal acceptance / start check process executed in step S12 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether there is an automatic input request (S50). That is, it is determined whether or not the player has won the replay in the previous unit game.

  In step S50, when the main CPU 51 determines that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), the main CPU 51 executes automatic insertion processing for automatically inserting the same number of medals as the medals inserted in the previous unit game (S51). Specifically, the main CPU 51 copies the automatic insertion counter to the insertion number counter and clears the automatic insertion counter.

  Next, the main CPU 51 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the generated medal insertion command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 53. A transmission process is performed (S52). Here, the medal insertion command data is data that enables the sub CPU 81 to recognize, for example, the presence or absence of medal insertion, the value of the inserted number counter, the value of the credit counter, and the like.

  In step S50, when the main CPU 51 determines that there is no automatic insertion request (NO), the main CPU 51 permits reception of medals (S53). For example, the main CPU 51 drives a solenoid (not shown) of the selector 35 to form a route so that the medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 14 can pass through the selector 35.

  In step S50, when the main CPU 51 determines that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), the reception of medals is prohibited from the previous unit game, so processing related to the reception of medals Although it is assumed that the player does not execute the game, medal acceptance may be permitted even when the player has won a replay in the previous unit game.

  After the process of step S52 or S53 is executed, the main CPU 51 sets the maximum value of the number of inserted sheets in the main RAM 53 in accordance with the gaming state (S54). In the present embodiment, 3 is set as the maximum value of the number of inserted sheets in any gaming state.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not acceptance of medals is permitted (S55). Here, if it is determined that the acceptance of medals is permitted (YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether the medals have been inserted properly or whether the MAX bet button 15A or the 1 BET button 15B has been operated. To check the medal insertion check process (S56). In this medal insertion check process, when medals are inserted properly, or when medals are inserted by operation from a credit to the MAX bet button 15A or 1 BET button 15B, depending on the number of inserted medals, The value of the insertion number counter or the value of the credit counter is updated.

  Next, the main CPU 51 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the generated medal insertion command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 53. The transmission process is executed (S57).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether medals can be inserted or credited (S58). In the present embodiment, on the condition that main CPU 51 sets the value of the number-of-sheets counter to 3 and the value of the credit counter is 50 or that the automatic insertion process of step S51 has been executed. If the condition is satisfied, it is determined that medal insertion or credit is not possible, and if the condition is not satisfied, it is determined that medal insertion or credit is possible.

  When it is determined in step S58 that the insertion of medals or the credit is not possible (NO), the main CPU 51 prohibits the reception of medals (S59). For example, the main CPU 51 forms a route so that the medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 14 is discharged from the medal payout opening 24 without driving the solenoid of the selector 35.

  If it is determined in step S55 that acceptance of medals is not permitted (NO), if it is determined in step S58 that medal insertion or credit is possible (YES), or after the process of step S59 is executed. The main CPU 51 determines whether or not the number of inserted medals is the number that can start the game. That is, in the present embodiment, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the number of inserted medals is 3 which is the maximum value (S60).

  Here, if it is determined that the number of inserted medals is not the maximum value (NO), the main CPU 51 returns to the process of step S55. On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of inserted medals is the maximum value (YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether the start switch 16S is on (S61).

  Here, if it is determined that the start switch 16S is not on (NO), the main CPU 51 returns to the process of step S55. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 6S is on (YES), the main CPU 51 prohibits medal acceptance (S62), and ends the medal acceptance / start check process.

<Internal lottery process>
FIG. 53 is a flowchart showing an internal lottery process performed in step S14 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets an internal lottery table corresponding to the gaming state in the main RAM 53 (S70). In the present embodiment, main CPU 51 sets one of the internal lottery tables shown in FIG. 15 or 16 in main RAM 53 in accordance with the gaming state.

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires random number values stored in the random number value storage area (S71). The random number value acquired here is a random number value 1. Next, the main CPU 51 refers to the predetermined area of the internal lottery table set in step S70, acquires one lottery value associated with each winning number of the corresponding setting value, and extracts the lottery value from the random number value Is subtracted (S72). That is, the main CPU 51 checks whether or not the internal winning combination associated with the winning number is determined.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the subtraction result by the process of step S72 is less than 0 (S73). Here, when the main CPU 51 determines that the subtraction result is not less than 0 (NO), the main CPU 51 updates the random number value and the winning number (S74).

  Next, main CPU 51 determines whether or not all the winning numbers in the internal lottery table being used have been checked (S75), and if it is determined that all the winning numbers have not been checked (NO) , And return to the process of step S72.

  On the other hand, when determining that all the winning numbers have been checked (YES), the main CPU 51 sets 0 as the value of the data pointer (S76). In the present embodiment, the internal gaming table for the normal gaming state is set such that the subtraction result does not necessarily become 0 or more when the main CPU 51 finishes checking all the winning numbers, so the BB gaming state Step S76 is not performed except in the case of (RB gaming state).

  In step S73, when the main CPU 51 determines that the subtraction result is less than 0 (YES), the internal lottery table set in the main RAM 53 is referred to, and from the winning number to the data pointer for the small part and replay data pointer. The value and the value of the bonus data pointer are acquired (S77).

  After executing the process of step S76 or S77, the main CPU 51 refers to the internal winning combination determination table for small winning combination / replay (refer to FIG. 17), and based on the value of the data pointer for small winning combination / replay, the internal winning combination Is acquired (S78).

  In the process of step S78, the internal winning combination determination table for small winning combination / replay is referred to, and 27 bytes indicating the internal winning combination corresponding to the value of the small winning combination / replay data pointer acquired in the processing of step S76 or S77. Data values are determined.

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the data of the internal winning combination obtained in step S78 in the internal winning combination storing area (see FIG. 21) (S79). In the process of step S79, a 27-byte data value indicating the internal winning combination determined in the process of step S78 is stored in the internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 27.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 24) is 0 (S80). If the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the carryover combination storage area is 0 (YES), it refers to the bonus internal winning combination determination table (see FIG. 18), and internally based on the value of the bonus data pointer. Obtain a winning combination (S81).

  In the process of step S81, a bonus internal winning combination determination table is referred to, and a 27-byte data value indicating an internal winning combination corresponding to the value of the bonus data pointer acquired in the process of step S76 or S77 is determined. Ru.

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the internal winning combination obtained in step S81 in the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 24) (S82). In the process of step S82, when "BB" is acquired as the internal winning combination in step S81, bit 0 corresponding to "BB" of the carryover storage area is set to "1".

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 24) is 0 (S83). In this determination process, it is determined whether or not bit 0 corresponding to "BB" in the carryover combination storage area is set to "1" in step S82.

  When it is determined in step S83 that the value of the carryover combination storage area is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether the internal winning combination is "BB" (S84). Here, when the main CPU 31 determines that the internal winning combination is "BB" (YES), it sets the RT gaming state to the RT1 gaming state (S85). Specifically, the main CPU 51 sets “1” to the RT1 gaming state flag. In the present embodiment, since the bonus combination is only "BB", the determination process may not be performed.

  If it is determined in step S80 that the value of the carryover combination storage area is not 0 (NO), if it is determined in step S83 that the value of the carryover combination storage area is 0 (YES), the internal winning combination is "BB" in step S84. (NO) or after executing the processing of step S85, the main CPU 51 updates the internal winning combination storing area based on the internal winning combination stored in the carryover combination storing area (S86) End the internal lottery process.

<Interrupt process by control of main CPU>
FIG. 54 is a flowchart showing an interrupt process under the control of the main CPU 51. This process is periodically performed every 1.1172 ms.

  First, the main CPU 51 saves the register (S320). Next, the main CPU 51 executes input port check processing described later in the description of FIG. 55 (S321). In this input port check process, for example, the presence or absence of signals of various switches and sensors connected to the main CPU 51 is confirmed.

  For example, the main CPU 51 stores information on on and off of various switches such as the start switch 16S and the stop switch 17S, and information on on and off of various sensors such as the medal sensor 35S in the main RAM 53.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes a timer update process (S322). Next, the main CPU 51 executes communication data transmission processing described later in the explanation of FIG. 56 (S323).

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes a reel control process (S324). In this reel control process, the main CPU 51 accelerates the rotation of each reel by driving and controlling each stepping motor based on the rotation start request of each reel in the reel rotation start process (S20 in FIG. 50). And execute constant-speed processing to maintain the predetermined speed by driving and controlling each stepping motor based on each reel reaching a predetermined speed (for example, 80 revolutions / 1 minute). Stop control processing (S22 in FIG. 50) is performed to stop the rotation of each reel by controlling the drive of each stepping motor based on the rotation stop request of each reel.

  Next, the main CPU 51 executes a lamp 7SEG driving process (S325). For example, the main CPU 51 displays the number of medals credited, the number of payouts, and the like on various display units. Next, the main CPU 51 restores the register (S326), and ends the regularly occurring interrupt processing.

<Input port check process>
FIG. 55 is a flowchart showing an input port check process executed in step S321 of the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU 51 shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 checks the state of each input port (S330). Next, the main CPU 51 stores the previous interrupt, that is, the state of the input port before one interrupt in the main RAM 53 (S331), and stores the current state of the input port in the main RAM 53 (S332).

  As described above, the main CPU 51 can check the states of both input ports by comparing the state of the input port before one interrupt with the current state of the input port. It is checked whether the state has changed, for example, whether the MAX bet button 15A, the 1 BET button 15B, the start lever 16 and the like have been operated.

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the on-edge state in the main RAM 53 (S333). For example, when the input data of the input port allocated to the start switch 16S is data indicating OFF before one interrupt, the main CPU 51 shifts to ON edge when the data indicates ON at present. The main RAM 53 stores on-edge information indicating that the input data of the input port allocated to the start switch 16S is data showing ON before one interrupt, but is data showing OFF at present. If there is, the main RAM 53 stores off-edge information indicating that it has shifted to the off-edge.

<Communication data transmission process>
FIG. 56 is a flowchart showing communication data transmission processing executed in step S323 of the interrupt processing under control of the main CPU 51 shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 subtracts one from the communication data transmission timer (S340). Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the communication data transmission timer is 0 (S341).

  Here, if it is determined that the communication data transmission timer is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 51 ends the communication data transmission process. On the other hand, when determining that the communication data transmission timer is 0 (YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not there is unsent data in the communication data storage area (S342).

  Here, when it is determined that there is no unsent data in the communication data storage area (NO), the main CPU 51 generates non-operation command data, and communication data in which the generated non-operation command data is allocated to the main RAM 53. It stores in the storage area (S343).

  As the no-operation command data, information on the on-edge and off-edge of various switches and information on on and off of various sensors stored in the above-described input port check process are set as parameters. As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of interrupt processing in which a command is not transmitted, and to prevent a fraudulent action on command transmission, and also to make the sub CPU 81 recognize these pieces of information, in a period during which the operation is essentially invalid. It is possible to change the effect based on an operation (for example, an operation on the MAX bet button 15A while the reel is rotating).

  In step S342, when it is determined that there is unsent data in the communication data storage area (YES), or after performing the processing of step S343, the main CPU 51 sets an initial value (for example, 14) to the communication data transmission timer. (S344).

  Next, the main CPU 51 transmits the communication data stored in the communication data storage area to the sub control circuit 42 (S345). Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether transmission of communication data has been completed (S346).

  Here, when it is determined that transmission of communication data is not completed (NO), the main CPU 51 returns to the process of step S345. On the other hand, when it is determined that the transmission of the communication data is completed (YES), the main CPU 51 updates the communication data storage area to clear (S347), and ends the communication data transmission process.

[Sub control process]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 57 to 69, various processes executed by the sub CPU 81 of the sub control circuit 42 will be described.

<Power on processing>
FIG. 57 is a flowchart showing power on processing of the sub CPU 81 at the time of power on.

  First, the sub CPU 81 executes an initialization process (S350). In this process, the sub CPU 81 performs error check on the sub RAM 83 and the like, and initializes the task system. The task system includes a lamp control task which is a task group of timer interrupt synchronization, and a sound control task.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 starts the lamp control task shown in FIG. 58 (S351). The lamp control task waits for the sub CPU 81 to receive a timer interrupt event message transmitted to the sub CPU 81 every two milliseconds, and in response to receiving this timer interrupt event message, It is a process of executing a process of controlling the lighting state.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 starts the sound control task shown in FIG. 59 (S352). In the sound control task, the sub CPU 81 controls the sound output state from the speakers 20L and 20R. Next, the sub CPU 81 starts the mother task (S 353), and ends the power on processing. In the mother task, a main substrate communication task shown in FIG. 60 and a display control task (not shown) for controlling display contents displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are activated.

<Ramp control task>
FIG. 58 is a flow chart showing a lamp control task activated in step S 351 of the power on processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 executes timer interrupt initialization processing (S360). Next, the sub CPU 81 executes lamp-related data initialization processing (S361).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes timer interrupt waiting (S 362). In this process, the sub CPU 81 executes a task group different from timer interrupt synchronization until the sub CPU 81 receives a timer interrupt event message every two milliseconds.

  As a task group different from timer interrupt synchronization, for example, there is a main board communication task which is a task group of command reception interrupt synchronization. Also, a task group (not shown) of power supply interruption synchronization, a task group (not shown) of door monitoring unit communication synchronization, etc. may be mentioned.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes a sound control task shown in FIG. 59 (S363). In this process, the task in the next priority of the task group of timer interrupt synchronization which is the same group as the lamp control task is executed.

  In the present embodiment, the priority of the task group of timer interrupt synchronization is basically in the order of the lamp control task and the sound control task. Therefore, in step S363, the sound control task at the next priority of the lamp control task is executed. In step S363, the processes of steps S372 and S373 among the sound control tasks shown in FIG. 59 are executed.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes a lamp data analysis process (S364), executes a lamp effect execution process (S365), and returns to the process of step S362.

<Sound control task>
FIG. 59 is a flow chart showing a lamp control task activated in step S352 of the power on processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 executes initialization processing of sound related data related to the sound output state from the speakers 20L, 20R (S370). Next, the sub CPU 81 executes a task in the next priority of the task group of timer interrupt synchronization which is the same group as the sound control task, that is, the lamp control task (S371).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes an analysis process of sound data (S372), performs a sound effect execution process (S373), and executes the process of step S371.

<Main board communication task>
FIG. 60 is a flowchart showing a main board communication task activated in the mother task activated in the power-on process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 executes initialization of the communication message queue (S380), and executes a check of the received command (S381).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether a command different from the previous one has been received (S382). Here, if it is determined that a command different from the previous one has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 returns to the process of step S 381.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a command different from the previous one has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 determines that the received command is a legitimate command, and creates game information from the received command and creates it The game information is stored in the sub RAM 83 (S383). Next, the sub CPU 81 executes command analysis processing shown in FIG. 61 (S384), and returns to the processing of step S381.

<Command analysis process>
FIG. 61 is a flow chart showing command analysis processing executed in step S384 of the main board communication task shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 executes effect content determination processing shown in FIG. 62 (S390), executes lamp data determination processing (S391), executes sound data determination processing (S392), and registers each determined data Then (S393), the command analysis process is ended.

<Determination content determination processing>
FIG. 62 is a flow chart showing an effect content determination process executed in step S390 of the command analysis process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether an initialization command has been received (S400). Here, if it is determined that the initialization command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes initialization command reception processing (S401), and ends the effect content determination processing. In the initialization command reception process, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the initialization command. For example, the rendering state is restored or the rendering state is initialized based on the presence or absence of the setting change. Also, for example, when there is a setting change, the initial value of the CZ level (see FIG. 32) and the initial state of the lottery card (see FIG. 33) are set.

  On the other hand, when determining that the initialization command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the medal insertion command has been received (S402). Here, if it is determined that the medal insertion command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a medal insertion command reception process (S403), and ends the effect content determination process. In the medal insertion command reception process, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the medal insertion command. For example, based on the presence or absence of the insertion of the medal, effect data for outputting the medal insertion sound is set.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the medal insertion command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the start command has been received (S404). Here, if it is determined that the start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a start command reception process described later in the description of FIG. 63 (S405), and ends the effect content determination process. In the start command reception process, effect data based on the information transmitted as the start command is set. For example, during an AT game (the first AT period, the second AT period, and the additional zone), if the internal winning combination is a push order, effect data for notifying the procedure of the stop operation that is most advantageous for the player is set. Be done.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the reel rotation start command has been received (S406). Here, if it is determined that the reel rotation start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a reel rotation start command reception process (S407), and ends the effect content determination process. In the reel rotation start command reception process, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the reel rotation start command. For example, effect data for outputting a reel rotation start sound is set.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the reel rotation start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the reel stop command has been received (S408). Here, if it is determined that the reel stop command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a reel stop command reception process (S409), and ends the effect content determination process. In the reel stop command reception process, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the reel stop command. For example, effect data for outputting a reel stop sound is set.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the reel stop command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the lock command has been received (S410). Here, if it is determined that the lock command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes lock command reception processing (S411), and ends the effect content determination processing. The lock command is transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42 when the lock is executed in the game start lock execution process (S19 in FIG. 50) or the game end lock execution process (S26 in FIG. 50). In the lock command reception process, effect data based on the information transmitted as the lock command is set. For example, effect data for displaying an image according to the type of lock and its period and the type of reel action is set.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the lock command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the winning operation command has been received (S412). Here, if it is determined that the winning operation command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a winning operation command reception process described later in the description of FIG. 69 (S413), and ends the effect content determination process. . In the winning operation command reception process, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the winning operation command. For example, effect data for outputting a payout sound corresponding to the number of payouts corresponding to the winning combination is set.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning operation command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the bonus start command has been received (S414). Here, if it is determined that the bonus start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes bonus start command reception processing (S415), and ends the effect content determination processing. In the bonus start command reception process, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the bonus start command. In the present embodiment, since AT game is configured to be relatively more advantageous than BB gaming state, unique effect data can be obtained based on the information transmitted as a bonus start command. It may be configured not to set.

  On the other hand, when determining that the bonus start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the bonus end command has been received (S416). Here, if it is determined that the bonus end command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes bonus end command reception processing (S417), and ends the effect content determination processing. In the bonus end command reception process, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the bonus end command. In the present embodiment, since AT game is configured to be relatively advantageous over BB gaming state, unique effect data can be obtained based on the information transmitted as a bonus end command. It may be configured not to set.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus end command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether a no-operation command has been received (S418). Here, if it is determined that the no-operation command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a no-operation command reception process (S419), and ends the effect content determination process.

  In the no-operation command reception process, the effect data may be varied based on the information transmitted as the no-operation command. For example, when the effect data determined in the start command reception process is effect data requiring continuous hitting of the MAX bet button 15A, the MAX bet button 15A received as a non-operation command is in the on-edge state or off edge The effect data is changed based on the state information. On the other hand, if it is determined in S418 that the no-operation command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process.

<Process when receiving start command>
FIG. 63 is a flowchart showing a start command reception process executed in step S405 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is in the additional zone (S430). When it is determined that the sub CPU 81 is in the additional zone (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes the processing in the additional zone (S431), and ends the start command reception process. In the additional zone processing, the above-mentioned additional lottery is executed, and the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter is added based on the lottery result, and processing such as determining whether to continue the additional zone is executed. . On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub CPU 81 is not in the additional zone (NO), then the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is in the first AT period (S432).

  If the sub CPU 81 determines that it is in the first AT period (YES), it executes the processing during the first AT period (S433) described later in the description of FIG. 64, and ends the start command reception processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub CPU 81 is not in the first AT period (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether it is in the second AT period (S434).

  If it is determined that the second AT period is in progress (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes processing during a second AT period (S435) described later in the explanation of FIG. 65, and ends the start command reception processing. On the other hand, when determining that the second AT period is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether or not the CZ is in progress (S436).

  If the sub CPU 81 determines that the CZ is being performed (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes an in-CZ process (S437) described later in the explanation of FIG. 66, and ends the start command reception process. On the other hand, when determining that the CZ is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 81 executes a normal game processing (S438) described later in the explanation of FIG. 67, and ends the start command reception processing.

<Process during 1st AT>
FIG. 64 is a flow chart showing a process during a first AT, which is executed in step S433 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not JAC is in progress (S450). If the sub CPU 81 determines that JAC is not in progress (ie, it is in the normal state of the first AT period) (NO), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S459. On the other hand, when determining that JAC is being performed (YES), the sub CPU 81 sets push order navigation data according to the internal winning combination (S451). The push order data set in this process is, for example, an image indicating that the stop button should be operated in the order of 17C → 17L → 17R when “middle left and right bell” is determined as the internal winning combination. This is effect data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the "push order bell" has been won during JAC (S452). If the sub CPU 81 determines that the “push order bell” has been won (YES), the sub CPU 81 updates the JAC specified number of times counter (S 453). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 performs a process of adding one to the value of the JAC specified number counter. Here, the JAC specified number counter is a counting means for counting the number of winning "pushing order bell" in the first AT period (during JAC). As described above, in the first AT period, at the time of winning the “pushing order bell”, the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous for the player is notified. You can receive a delivery of the sheet. Therefore, it can be said that the JAC specified number counter is a counting means for counting the number of winnings of "push order bell" in the first AT period (during JAC). On the other hand, if the sub CPU 81 determines that the "push order bell" has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S454.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 refers to the first AT period (during JAC) addition type lottery table shown in FIG. 42, and determines the addition type based on the internal winning combination (S454). Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether there is an addition (S455). That is, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not other than "not winning" is determined in the lottery in step S454. If the sub CPU 81 determines that there is an addition (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes an addition process according to the determined addition type (S456). On the other hand, when it is determined that the sub CPU 81 has not added (that is, “not won” is determined) (NO), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S457.

  In step S 456, if the additional type “differential number addition” is determined, the sub CPU 81 refers to the first AT period additional number difference number lottery table shown in FIG. 43 and determines the additional difference number based on the internal winning combination. A process of adding and determining the determined additional difference sheet number to the second AT management difference sheet number counter is performed.

  Further, in step S456, when the type of additional "transfer to additional zone" is determined, the sub CPU 81 performs processing to transfer from the first AT period (during JAC) to the additional zone. In this case, the process may be ended during the first AT period without performing the process after step S457. Also, the value of the JAC specified frequency counter in the first AT period (during JAC) is held as it is, and when the overlay zone ends and returns to the first AT period (during JAC), the value of the JAC specified frequency counter Alternatively, the initial value (0) may be set again to the JAC specified number counter so that the first AT period (during the JAC) can be performed from the beginning.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the value of the JAC specified number counter indicates the end of the JAC (S457). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the value of the JAC specified number counter has reached 5 (that is, the number of winning (winning) number of "push order bell" during JAC is 5 times). When the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the JAC specified number counter indicates the end of the JAC (YES), the JAC is cleared (S458), and the processing during the first AT period is ended. As a result, the first AT period (during JAC) is shifted to the first AT period (normal). On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the JAC specified number counter does not indicate the end of the JAC (NO), the processing is ended during the first AT period.

  If the sub CPU 81 determines in step S450 that JAC is not in progress (that is, it is in the normal state of the first AT period) (NO), the sub CPU 81 updates the first AT management game number counter (S459). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 performs a process of adding one to the value of the first AT management game number counter. Here, the first AT management game number counter is a counting means for counting the number of games in the first AT period (normal).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 refers to the first AT period (normal) addition type lottery table shown in FIG. 41, and determines the addition type based on the internal winning combination (S460). Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether there is an addition (S461). That is, sub-CPU 81 determines whether or not other than "not winning" is determined in the lottery in step S460. If the sub CPU 81 determines that there is no addition (that is, “not won” is determined) (NO), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S465. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 81 determines that there is additional (YES), it subsequently determines whether the additional type is JAC (S 462). That is, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the additional type “push order JAC” or the additional type “finalized JAC” is determined in the lottery in step S460.

  If the sub CPU 81 determines that the additional type is JAC in step S 462 (YES), the sub CPU 81 sets push order navigation data according to the internal winning combination and the additional type (S 463), and proceeds to the process of step S 466. . The push order data set in this process is, for example, "Bel lip 1" or "Bell lip 3" as an internal winning combination and "push order JAC" as an overlay type, the stop button 17C is selected. Select whether to stop the first stop or stop the first stop button 17R (for example, while displaying an image imitating the stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R on the display unit 11a, and imitating the stop buttons 17C and 17R This is effect data that displays an arrow on the image and further displays a character of "Please choose one" on the liquid crystal display device 11). When this image is displayed and the player stops the stop button 17C for the first time, if the internal winning combination is "BELLrip 1", the pushing order is successful and JAC is set, and the internal winning combination is "BELLIP 3". If it is "," the pushing order fails and it is not set during JAC.

  Further, as the push order data set in this process, for example, when "Bellip 1" is determined as the internal winning combination and "confirmed JAC" is determined as the superimposing type, the stop button 17C is stopped at the first position. It is effect data for displaying on the liquid crystal display device 11 an image showing that the image should be displayed, and in the case where “Bell lip 3” is determined as the internal winning combination and “fixed JAC” is determined as the additional type. These are effect data for displaying on the liquid crystal display device 11 an image indicating that the stop button 17R should be stopped first.

  If the sub CPU 81 determines in step S 462 that the additional type is not JAC (NO), the sub CPU 81 executes an additional process according to the determined additional type (S 464).

  In step S464, when the type of addition "difference in number addition" is determined, the sub CPU 81 refers to the first AT period addition difference number lottery table shown in FIG. 43 and determines the addition difference number based on the internal winning combination. A process of adding and determining the determined additional difference sheet number to the second AT management difference sheet number counter is performed.

  In addition, in step S464, when the type of additional “transfer to additional zone” is determined, the sub CPU 81 performs processing to transfer from the first AT period (normal) to the additional zone. In this case, the process may be ended during the first AT period without performing the process after step S466. In addition, the value of the first AT management game frequency counter in the first AT period (normal) is maintained as it is, and when the additional zone ends and returns to the first AT period (normal), the first AT management game The value of the number counter may be restored, or the initial value (0) may be set again to the first AT management game number counter so that the first AT period (normal) can be performed from the beginning.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 sets push order navigation data according to the internal winning combination (S465). The push order data set in this process is, for example, an image indicating that the stop button should be operated in the order of 17C → 17L → 17R when “middle left and right bell” is determined as the internal winning combination. This is effect data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the value of the first AT management game number counter indicates the end of the first AT period (S466). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the value of the first AT management game number counter has reached 20 (that is, the number of games played in the first AT period excluding 20 during the JAC period is 20). If the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the first AT management game number counter indicates the end of the first AT period (YES), the first AT period is cleared and the second AT period is set (S 467) , End the processing during the first AT period. As a result, the first AT period is shifted to the second AT period. On the other hand, also when the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the first AT management game number counter does not indicate the end of the first AT period (NO), the processing is ended during the first AT period.

  When the start of the first AT period (that is, the start of execution of the process during the first AT period) is synchronized with the output of the above-described external signal, the sub CPU 81 decides to shift to the first AT period. Even when the event is triggered, the trigger for the output of the above-mentioned external signal to be turned on (for example, “push order bell” is determined as the internal winning combination, and the stop operation is performed in a predetermined push order The start of the first AT period may be made to wait until the above is established. In this case, a period from when it is determined to shift to the first AT period to when the first AT period starts can be defined as an AT standby period (in preparation). Further, in the AT waiting period (during preparation), the type of addition may be determined as in the above-described JAC, and an addition process corresponding to the determined type of addition may be executed.

<Process during 2nd AT>
FIG. 65 is a flow chart showing a second AT period process executed in step S435 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 sets push order navigation data according to the internal winning combination (S480). The push order data set in this process is, for example, an image indicating that the stop button should be operated in the order of 17C → 17L → 17R when “middle left and right bell” is determined as the internal winning combination. This is effect data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 refers to the second AT period acquisition lottery table shown in FIG. 48, and executes AT acquisition lottery based on the type of special card (including no special card) and the internal winning combination (S481). Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the AT has been acquired (S 482). That is, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not "AT winning" has been determined in the lottery in step S481. If the sub CPU 81 determines that the AT has not been acquired (ie, "not winning" has been determined) (NO), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S484. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 81 determines that the AT has been acquired (YES), it sets the first AT period, sets an initial value (0) in the first AT management game number counter (S483), and the second AT period Finish the middle process. As a result, the second AT period is shifted to the first AT period.

  Incidentally, even if "at win" is determined in the lottery at step S481, sub CPU 81 does not shift to the process at step S483 (moves to step S484), and temporarily suspends the AT win right. The stock may be stored, and when the second AT period ends (when the processing of step S 491 described later is performed), the right to win the AT may be used to shift to the first AT period again. .

  Next, the sub CPU 81 refers to the second AT period addition type lottery table shown in FIG. 45, and determines the addition type based on the internal winning combination (S484). Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether there is an addition (S485). That is, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not other than "not winning" is determined in the lottery in step S484. If the sub CPU 81 determines that there is an addition (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes an addition process according to the determined addition type (S 486). On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines that there is no addition (that is, “not winning” is determined) (NO), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S487.

  In step S 486, when the type of addition “difference in number addition” is determined, the sub CPU 81 refers to the second AT period addition difference number lottery table shown in FIG. 46, and determines the number of addition differences in number. A process of adding the additional difference sheet number to the second AT management difference sheet number counter is performed.

  In addition, in step S486, when the additional type “additional zone transition” is determined, the sub CPU 81 performs processing for transitioning from the second AT period to the additional zone. In this case, the process may be ended during the second AT period without performing the process after step S487. Also, the special card acquired in the second AT period may be held as it is, and when the overlay zone ends and returns to the second AT period, the acquired special card may also be recovered. If you have acquired the special card “Chance winning chance high probability”, “Watermelon winning time high probability” or “Cherry winning time high probability”, extra lottery or continuous lottery will be performed with high probability even in the extra zone. It may be used as well.

  Further, in step S 486, if the additional type “special card acquisition” is determined, sub CPU 81 refers to the second AT period special card lottery table shown in FIG. 47 to determine the special card to be acquired. I do.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not there is a special card relating to subtraction of the number of differences (S487). That is, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the "special card (difference number subtraction throw)" or the "special card (difference number subtraction stop)" is held. If the sub CPU 81 determines that there is a special card relating to difference number subtraction (YES), the sub CPU 81 updates the value of the second AT management difference number counter with a subtraction rate (rate of change) according to the type of special card (S488) And the process of step S490. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no special card relating to difference number subtraction (NO), the value of the second AT management difference number counter is updated according to the above-mentioned net increase number of medals (S489).

  In step S 488, for example, when “push order bell” is determined as the internal winning combination, and “special card (difference sheet subtraction slowing)” is acquired, the sub CPU 81 sets the original net increase number “4”. On the other hand, the net increase number "2", which is the result of calculating the subtraction rate (rate of change) "× 1/2", is subtracted from the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter. Also, for example, when the “special card (difference number subtraction stop)” is acquired, the net increase which is the result of calculating the subtraction rate (rate of change) “× 0” for the original net number “4” The number “0” is subtracted from the value of the second AT management difference number counter (ie, not subtracted). Note that the mode of updating the difference number based on the subtraction rate (rate of change) is not limited to this. For example, the sub CPU 81 is an internal winning combination (for example, the above-mentioned "pushing order bell") In the case where is determined, the value of the net increase number to be subtracted from the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter is previously defined according to the presence or absence of the subtraction rate (the change rate) (that is, without calculation) The value of the specified net increase number may be subtracted from the value of the second AT management difference number counter.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter indicates the end of the second AT period (S490). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter has become 0 or less. If the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter indicates the end of the second AT period (YES), the second AT period is cleared and the normal game is set (S 491). A normal game initial setting process (S492) described later in the description of FIG. 68 is executed, and the process is ended during the second AT period. As a result, the transition to the normal game will be made from the second AT period. On the other hand, even if the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter does not indicate the end of the second AT period (NO), the processing is ended during the second AT period.

  In the present embodiment, updating of the second AT management difference sheet counter (processing of steps S488 and S489) is performed during the processing of the second AT, but the winnings will be described later in the description of FIG. 69. It may be executed in the process upon receiving the operation command. That is, in the present embodiment, updating of the difference sheet counter is performed when the game is started (when the start command is received), but performed when all reels are stopped (when the prize operation command is received) It may be With this configuration, it is possible to update the difference sheet counter according to the actual net increase number. However, in the present embodiment, an internal winning combination (for example, "push order bell") to be subjected to difference number subtraction is performed by updating the difference number counter when the game starts (before the occurrence of a prize). It is possible to prevent illegal lottery (for example, AT winning lottery and additional lottery) from being performed by intentionally dropping the game and continuing to be in the advantageous gaming state (for example, the second AT period) illegally .

<Process in CZ>
FIG. 66 is a flowchart showing the CZ in-progress process executed in step S437 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is time to shift CZ (S500). That is, the sub CPU 81 determines whether CZ is set in the processing during normal game described later in the description of FIG. 67 and it is the first game shifted to CZ. If the sub CPU 81 determines that it is not at the transition time of CZ (NO), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S 503. On the other hand, if it is determined that the CZ transition is in progress (YES), the special card combination lottery table shown in FIG. 35 is referred to, and the combination (combination number) of the lottery card and the special card is determined (S501).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes a lottery card reordering process (S502). In this lottery card rearranging process, after the lottery cards and the special cards are associated with each other, they are sorted in ascending order of the level of the lottery card, and the lottery in CZ is performed in this order. If the level of the lottery card is the same, the set order (that is, the order indicating which card is held as a card) is referred to, and the lottery card set at the top is used first. Sort order, or the order of acquisition (ie, order of acquisition time) is referred to, and rearrangement is performed so that the previously acquired lottery card is used first. It is also good. Also, the special card may be given a priority, and sorting may be performed based on the presence or absence of the special card and its priority. Further, the sorting may be performed in the descending order of the lottery card levels.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 sets information of the lottery card to be used (S503). For example, in the case where the first lottery is performed in CZ, the sub CPU 81 determines the level of the lottery card rearranged as the first and the type of the associated special card in the lottery card rearranging process in step S502 described above. Set Further, for example, the sub CPU 81 causes the lottery card set as the first to disappear in the card annihilation / lottery process in step S509 described later, and the information on the lottery card to be used is updated in the process in step S514 described later. If so, set the level of the second lottery card and the type of the associated special card.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes attack right acquisition and lottery processing (S504). In this attack right acquisition / lottery process, it is determined whether to acquire an attack right based on the level of the lottery card and the internal winning combination, with reference to the attack right acquisition lottery table shown in FIG. However, when the special card is associated, a determination (lottery) advantageous to the player is made according to the type of the associated special card. For example, when “special card (one attack right acquisition)” is associated, it is determined to acquire the attack right. In addition, special cards ("special card (1 time attack right acquisition)", "special card (2 times attack right acquisition)", "special card (3 times attack right acquisition)") used for lottery for acquiring attack right If it is used for the specified number of times, it disappears, and if the attack right acquisition lottery is executed with the same lottery card in the game exceeding the specified number of times, it is decided whether to acquire the attack right by the above-mentioned lottery. It will be done.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the attack right has been acquired (S505). If it is determined that the sub CPU 81 has not acquired the attack right (NO), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S509. On the other hand, when it is determined that the attack right has been acquired (YES), the AT acquisition / lottery process (S506) is executed.

  In this AT acquisition lottery process, it is determined whether to acquire an AT based on the CZ level, the lottery card level and the internal winning combination with reference to the AT acquisition lottery table shown in FIG. However, when the special card is associated, a determination (lottery) advantageous to the player is made according to the type of the associated special card. For example, even if the CZ level is 1, when the “special card (CZ level + 3)” is associated, the AT acquisition lottery is performed on the assumption that the CZ level is 4. In addition, special cards ("special card (attack force +1)", "special card (attack force +2)", "special card (attack force +3)"), and "special card (CZ level +3)" used for the AT winning lottery “) May be deleted when used once, or may be associated until it is determined that the lottery card itself is deleted in the card deletion lottery process of step S509 described later.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the AT has been acquired (S507). If the sub CPU 81 determines that the AT has not been acquired (NO), it ends the CZ in-process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the AT has been acquired (YES), the first AT period is set, the initial value (0) is set in the first AT management game number counter (S508), and the CZ in-process is ended. As a result, the CZ is successful, and the transition from CZ to the first AT period occurs.

  If the sub CPU 81 determines in step S505 that the attack right has not been acquired (NO), the sub CPU 81 executes card disappearance lottery processing (S509).

  In this card disappearance lottery process, it is determined whether or not the lottery card is to be eliminated based on the level of the lottery card and the internal winning combination with reference to the lottery card disappearance lottery table shown in FIG. However, when the special card is associated, a determination (lottery) advantageous to the player is made according to the type of the associated special card. For example, in the case where the “special card (one extinction avoidance)” is associated, it is determined to avoid the disappearance of the lottery card. In addition, the special card ("special card (1 time to avoid extinction)") used for the card disappearance lottery disappears when used for the specified number of times, and the card for the same lottery card disappears in the game exceeding the specified number of times When the lottery is performed, it is determined whether or not the lottery card is to be erased by the above-described lottery.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the lottery card disappears (S510). If the sub CPU 81 determines that the lottery card does not disappear (NO), the CZ in-process processing ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the lottery card has disappeared (YES), a re-lottery point lottery process (S511) is executed.

  In this re-lottery point lottery process, it is determined whether or not a re-lottery point is to be given with reference to the re-lottery point lottery table shown in FIG. However, when the special card is associated, a determination (lottery) advantageous to the player is made according to the type of the associated special card. For example, when “special card (re-lottery P preferential)” is associated, re-lottery point lottery is executed with preferential treatment. In addition, the special card ("special card (re-lottery P preferential)") used for the re-lottery point lottery disappears with the disappearance of the associated lottery card.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 clears the information of the used lottery card (S512). That is, when the disappearance of the lottery card is determined in the card disappearance lottery process of step S509, the sub CPU 81 clears the level of the lottery card and the type of the associated special card. Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the lottery card has become 0 (S513). If the sub CPU 81 determines that the lottery card is not 0 (that is, there is still a lottery card not used for lottery) (NO), the information on the lottery card to be used is updated (S514) , CZ end processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the lottery card has become 0 (YES), the sub CPU 81 clears CZ and sets a normal game (S515), and a normal game initialization process (S516) described later in the explanation of FIG. ), And end the processing in CZ. As a result, the CZ fails, and the game is shifted from the CZ to the normal game.

<Normal game processing>
FIG. 67 is a flow chart showing a normal game in progress process executed in step S438 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is a transition from CZ (S530). That is, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the CZ failure in the CZ in-process described above in the description of FIG. If the sub CPU 81 determines that it is not the time of transition from CZ (NO), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S533. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is a transition from CZ (YES), the AT acquisition lottery table at CZ end shown in FIG. 40 is referred to, and AT acquisition lottery is executed based on the relottering point and the internal winning combination. (S531). In addition, the re-lottery point used in this process will be initialized (0 clear) regardless of the lottery result of the AT acquisition lottery.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the AT has been acquired (S532). That is, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not "at win" has been determined in the lottery in step S531. If the sub CPU 81 determines that the AT has not been acquired (that is, "not winning" has been determined) (NO), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S533. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 81 determines that the AT has been acquired (YES), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S535.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes an AT direct lottery processing (S533). In this AT direct lottery processing, the AT winning lottery is executed on the basis of the number of periodic games and the internal winning combination with reference to the AT direct lottery table shown in FIG. Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the AT has been acquired (S534). That is, sub CPU81 determines whether or not "at winning" has been determined in the lottery in step S533. Further, the sub CPU 81 determines whether “BAR lip 1” or “BAR lip 2” is determined as the internal winning combination. If it is determined that the sub CPU 81 has not acquired AT (that is, "not winning" is determined, "BAR lip 1" or "BAR lip 2" is not determined) (NO), the step is taken. It moves to the process of S536. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 81 determines that the AT has been acquired (YES), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S535.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 sets the first AT period, sets an initial value (0) to the first AT management game number counter (S535), and ends the processing during normal gaming. Thus, the normal game is shifted to the first AT period.

  If the sub CPU 81 determines in step S534 that the AT has not been acquired (NO), the sub CPU 81 updates the cycle management gaming number counter (S536). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 performs processing for adding one to the value of the cycle management gaming number counter. Here, the cycle management gaming number counter is counting means for counting the number of games played in one cycle in the normal game.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the value of the cycle management gaming number counter indicates the end of the cycle (S537). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the value of the cycle management gaming number counter has reached 32 (ie, the number of games played in one cycle of the normal game is 32). If the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the cycle management gaming number counter does not indicate the end of the cycle (NO), it proceeds to the process of step S 542. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the cycle management gaming number counter indicates the end of the cycle (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes the CZ shift lottery process (S538).

  In this CZ shift lottery processing, it is determined whether or not to shift to CZ based on the CZ shift point and the internal winning combination with reference to the CZ shift lottery table shown in FIG. When the CZ transition point is 4 points or more, the transition to the CZ is always determined.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether to shift to CZ (S539). When it is determined that the sub CPU 81 shifts to the CZ (YES), the sub CPU 81 sets the CZ (S 540), and ends the processing during the normal game. On the other hand, when it is determined not to shift to CZ (NO), the initial value (0) is set in the cycle management gaming number counter (S 541), and the processing during normal gaming is ended. That is, the current cycle does not shift to CZ, and the next cycle is started. In addition, when it does not shift to CZ at the end of the cycle, information of lottery elements such as CZ transition point, CZ level, lottery card level, acquired special card, etc. is held as it is, and the next cycle is started. It will be. Therefore, even if it does not shift to CZ at the end of the cycle, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation of the CZ shift in the next cycle, and to improve the interest of the game.

  If the sub CPU 81 determines in step S537 that the value of the cycle management gaming number counter does not indicate the end of the cycle (NO), the sub CPU 81 executes the CZ shift point lottery process (S542). In this CZ transition point lottery process, the CZ transition point is determined based on the internal winning combination with reference to the CZ transition point lottery table shown in FIG. 28, and is accumulated and stored.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes a CZ level lottery process (S543). In this CZ level lottery process, the CZ level is determined based on the internal winning combination with reference to the CZ level lottery table shown in FIG. 29, and is cumulatively added.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes a card lottery process (S544). In this card lottery process, a card to be acquired is determined based on the number of special cards and the internal winning combination with reference to a card lottery table shown in FIG. In addition, since four lottery cards are always obtained from the initial state, if a lottery card is additionally obtained, it is determined by the lottery card replacing process in step S546 described later whether or not to replace the possessed lottery card. Be done. In addition, special cards can be acquired with an upper limit of four cards, and when four special cards are held, it is not decided to acquire the special cards. However, even for special cards, it is possible to obtain more than 4 cards, and when a special card is obtained, the same process as the lottery card replacement process of step S546 described later (for example, special card replacement process) ) May be executed to determine whether to replace the special card held.

  Further, in the case where it is possible to obtain cards (including a lottery card and a special card) exceeding the prescribed number (for example, four), it is possible for the player to select cards to be replaced. In particular, special cards are different types of special cards having different functions in CZ (for example, special cards used for lottery to acquire the right to attack, special cards used for lottery for AT acquisition, special cards used for lottery for card disappearance, re Since the special card used for the lottery point lottery is specified, the player's preference for lottery (for example, because the level of the lottery card is low), at the time of AT winning lottery, card disappearance lottery, or re-lottering point lottery. Also, by making it possible to adjust the possessed cards according to the game, etc., in order to be advantageous, because the level of the lottery card is high, so as to be advantageous when acquiring the attack right, etc. It is possible to improve.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the lottery card has been acquired (S545). When it is determined that the lottery card has not been acquired (NO), the processing in the normal game is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the lottery card has been acquired (YES), the lottery card replacement process (S546) is executed, and the processing in the normal game is ended.

  In this lottery card replacement process, the level of the lottery card currently held and the level of the newly acquired lottery card are referenced, and the lottery card with the largest level difference is replaced. For example, as the current lottery cards, the first "lottery card (LV1)", the second "lottery card (LV2)", the third "lottery card (LV3)" and the fourth "lottery card (LV4)" are held. If a new “lottery card (LV5)” is acquired, the level difference from the 1st to 4th lotterial cards is referred to, and the first “lottery card (LV1) with the largest level difference” And “lottery card (LV5)” are exchanged.

  Further, in this lottery card replacement process, the lottery cards are replaced with reference to the set order of the lottery cards currently held (that is, the order indicating which card is held as a card). For example, as the current lottery cards, the first "lottery card (LV1)", the second "lottery card (LV2)", the third "lottery card (LV1)" and the fourth "lottery card (LV3)" are held. When the "lottery card (LV4)" is newly acquired, as described above, the "lottery card (LV1)" having the largest level difference becomes the lottery card to be replaced. Here, since the “lottery card (LV1)” is held first and third, the set order is referred to, and the first “lottery card (LV1)” and “first set order” are set. Replacement with the lottery card (LV4) is performed.

  Further, in this lottery card replacement process, the lottery card may be replaced with reference to the order of acquisition of the lottery cards currently held (ie, the order of acquisition times). For example, as the current lottery cards, the first "lottery card (LV1)", the second "lottery card (LV2)", the third "lottery card (LV1)" and the fourth "lottery card (LV3)" are held. When the "lottery card (LV4)" is newly acquired, as described above, the "lottery card (LV1)" having the largest level difference becomes the lottery card to be replaced. Here, if the third "lottery card (LV1)" is a lottery card acquired earlier than the first "lottery card (LV1)", the order of acquisition is referred to, The third “lottery card (LV1)” and “lottery card (LV4)” may be interchanged.

  In addition, the lottery card replaced in this way is further sorted by lottery card rearranging processing (see S502 in FIG. 66) when CZ shifts. However, various types of lottery in CZ may be performed without performing the lottery card reordering process. In this case, the lottery cards replaced in the set order will be used in the same order in CZ. That is, it can also be said that the replacement of the set order is based on the use order in CZ (that is, the order in which the lottery is performed).

<Normal game initial setting process>
FIG. 68 is a flow chart showing the normal game initial setting process executed in step S492 of the second AT period process shown in FIG. 65 and S516 of the CZ in-process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 sets an initial value (0) at the CZ transition point (S550). Next, the sub CPU 81 sets an initial value (0) to the CZ level (S551). Next, the sub CPU 81 clears the lottery card and the special card (S552). Next, the sub CPU 81 sets an initial value (0) to the cycle management gaming number counter (S553).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes an initial CZ level lottery process (S 554). In this initial CZ level lottery process, the initial CZ level lottery table shown in FIG. 32 is referred to, and the initial value of the CZ level is determined based on the opportunity when shifting to the normal game.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 executes an initial card lottery process (S555), and ends the normal game initial setting process. In this initial card lottery process, the initial card lottery table shown in FIG. 33 is referred to, and the initial state of the lottery card is determined based on the opportunity shifted to the normal game.

  In the normal game initial setting process, an initial CZ transition point lottery process may be further performed in which an initial value of the CZ transition point is determined based on an opportunity of transition to the normal game.

  Further, when the trigger for shifting to the normal game is a cycle start (that is, the CZ fails and the CZ shifts to the normal game), the processing of steps S550 and S551 may be performed by lottery. . For example, when the CZ transition point holding lottery is won in step S550, the cycle in the normal game may be started without the initial value (0) being set. Further, for example, when the CZ transition level holding lottery is won in step S551, the cycle in the normal game may be started without setting the initial value (0).

<Process when receiving prize operation command>
FIG. 69 is a flow chart showing a winning operation command reception process executed in step S413 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is in the first AT period (S560). If the sub CPU 81 determines that the first AT period is not in progress (NO), the processing at the time of winning operation command reception ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub CPU 81 is in the first AT period (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether or not the additional type is "confirmed JAC" (S561). If the sub CPU 81 determines that the additional type is “confirmed JAC” (YES), the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S 564.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the additional type is not the "determined JAC" (NO), subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the additional type is the "push order JAC" (S562). If the sub CPU 81 determines that the additional type is not the “push order JAC” (NO), the processing at the time of winning operation command reception is ended. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the additional type is “push order JAC” (YES), subsequently, it is determined whether or not a stop operation is performed in a specific push order and a winning occurs ( S563). That is, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the pressing order selected by the player is the specific pressing order described above, and the pressing order is successful and a winning has occurred.

  The sub CPU 81 is stopped in a specific push order and no winnings have occurred (that is, the selected push order by the player is a push order different from the above-mentioned specific push order, and the push order is not successful. And when it is determined that a prize has occurred) (NO), the prize actuation command is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that a winning operation has occurred due to a stop operation in a specific push order (YES), JAC is set and an initial value (0) is set in the JAC specified number counter (S564).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 refers to the first AT period (JAC) additional difference number lottery table shown in FIG. 44, determines the additional difference number based on the JAC type (S565), and determines the determined additional difference number [2] It is added to the AT number difference sheet counter, and the processing at the time of winning operation command reception is ended.

[Display screen of pachislot machine]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 70 to 72, the effect screen displayed on the display unit 11a of the liquid crystal display device 11 of the pachi-slot machine 1 will be described. FIG. 70 is a view showing an example of an effect screen in a normal game of the pachislot machine according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 71 is a view showing an example of a effect screen in CZ of the pachislot machine according to the present embodiment FIG. 72 is a diagram showing an example of an effect screen in the second AT period of the pachislot machine according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 70, in the normal game, a lottery card display area 1101 for displaying a lottery card to be held and a special card display area 1102 for displaying a special card to be held on the display unit 11a of the liquid crystal display device 11; A CZ transition point display area 1103 is provided to display the current CZ transition point.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 71, in CZ, a use card display area 1104 in which a combination of a lottery card and a special card used for lottery is displayed on the display unit 11a of the liquid crystal display device 11, and the current CZ level A CZ level display area 1105 is provided to display.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 72, during the second AT period, the special card display area 1106 during the second AT period for displaying the special card held on the display unit 11a of the liquid crystal display device 11, and the second AT management difference sheet counter A difference number display area 1107 is provided to display the value of.

  In addition, these show an example of the display content of the display part 11a, and it is not restricted about these about the display content. For example, also in the normal game, the CZ level display area 1105 may be provided, or the difference number display area 1107 may be provided in the effect screen (not shown) in the first AT period.

  Also, for example, in a normal game, a specific condition (for example, that the value of the cycle management gaming number counter becomes any value of 30 to 32, that a specific internal winning combination has been established) is established Based on the above, the movable part 309 described above is moved from the initial position to the rendering position so that the arch cover 324 and the light emitting display 325 become visible, and the current CZ level is displayed according to the lighting mode of the light emitting display 325 You may do it. Similarly, the current CZ transition point may be displayed according to the lighting mode of the light emitting display portion 325.

  The lottery card display area 1101 displays the first to fourth lottery cards as schematic images on a part of the display unit 11a. In the example shown in FIG. 70, in order from the top, "lottery card (LV1)" (displayed in plain white) as the first lottery card and "lottery card (LV2)" (displayed in the vertical line pattern) as the second lottery card And “lottery card (LV1)” (displayed in plain white) as the third lottery card, and “lottery card (LV3)” (displayed in plain black) as the fourth lottery card. Note that when sorting of the lottery cards (see S502 in FIG. 66) is not performed, in this lottery card display area 1101, the order of use of CZ of the lottery cards (that is, the order in which the lottery is performed) remains unchanged. It will be displayed. That is, the lottery card display area 1101 can display the level (expected degree) associated with each lottery card and the order of use in the CZ with respect to four lottery cards.

  The special card display area 1102 displays the first to fourth special cards as a schematic image on a part of the display unit 11a. In the example shown in FIG. 70, "special card (attack force + 1)" is displayed as the first special card and "special card (one disappearance avoidance)" is displayed as the second special card in order from the top.

  Note that in the lottery card display area 1101 and the special card display area 1102, only the number of cards may be displayed in the normal game, and the contents of the cards may be displayed when shifting to CZ. For example, in the lottery card display area 1101, only the fact that four lottery cards are held is displayed, and in the special card display area 1102, two special cards are held. You may display only what you are doing. As a result, in the normal game, since it is not known from the contents of the card held that it is in a state where it is easy to shift to CZ, there may be a case where expectation of CZ shift in normal game can be further enhanced.

  The CZ transition point display area 1103 displays the current CZ transition point as a schematic image on a part of the display unit 11a. In the example shown in FIG. 70, it is displayed that the current CZ transition point is 4 by the number of circular items.

  In the used card display area 1104, in a part of the display unit 11a, the lottery card and the special card are associated by the determined combination (see FIG. 35) and rearranged (see S502 in FIG. 66) 1st to 4th Display the second used card as a schematic image. In the example shown in FIG. 71, in order from the top, a combination of “lottery card (LV1)” (displayed in plain white) and “special card (attack force + 1)” as the first used card, “seconds” as the second used card Combination of lottery card (LV1) (displayed in plain white) and "special card (1 time to avoid extinction)", third card used "lottery card (LV2)" (displayed in vertical line pattern), fourth The "lottery card (LV3)" (displayed in plain black) is displayed as the card used. As described above, when the sorting of the lottery cards is not performed, the lottery cards are displayed in the same order as displayed in the lottery card display area 1101 in the use card display area 1104. The Rukoto. In any case, the used card display area 1104 can display the level (expected degree) associated with each of the lottery cards and the order of use in the CZ for the four lottery cards.

  The CZ transition point display area 1105 displays the current CZ level as a schematic image on a part of the display unit 11a. In the example shown in FIG. 71, it is displayed that the current CZ level is 2 by the number of diamond-shaped items.

  During the second AT period, the special card display area 1106 displays the first to fourth special cards as a schematic image on part of the display unit 11a. In the example shown in FIG. 72, “special card (watermelon winning probability high probability)” is displayed as the first special card from the top, and “special card (difference number difference throw)” is displayed as the second special card. .

  The difference sheet display area 1107 displays the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter on a part of the display unit 11a.

  In addition, these show an example of the display mode of the display part 11a, and it is not restricted about these about a display mode. For example, a lottery card or a special card is an example of a display mode indicating a lottery element, and any display mode that allows the player to recognize these lottery elements may be displayed by other display modes. Good. Specifically, since the "card" is an aspect of an item, these lottery elements may be displayed by an item called accessory (equipment) of a friend character, or may be displayed by an item called a gem It is also good. Further, for example, the CZ transition point or the CZ level is an example of a display mode indicating a lottery element, and any display mode that allows the player to recognize these lottery elements can be displayed by another display mode. It may be. Specifically, these lottery elements may be displayed as direct numerical values, or may be displayed by items as described above.

  As mentioned above, although this embodiment was described, the invention concerning this embodiment is not limited to this. That is, the specific configuration of each means included in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment is not limited to the example adopted in the present embodiment described above, and does not deviate from the spirit of the invention according to the present embodiment. It is possible to change the range arbitrarily.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R and the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R are adopted as symbol display means, but instead of or in addition to this, a configuration using a liquid crystal display device It may be That is, the image of the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device may be variably displayed. Further, the display window may be a single display window 4, and a part of the symbols arranged on the peripheral surfaces of the reels 3 L, 3 C, 3 R may be displayed by the display window 4.

  Further, for example, in the present embodiment, as the internal winning combination determining means, the main CPU 51 acquires the random number value generated by the random number generator 56 and performs the internal lottery process, but instead of this, Alternatively, together with this, a random number generation circuit (not shown) built in the main CPU 51 may be used to obtain random number values.

  Further, for example, in the present embodiment, the start switch 16S for detecting the operation to the start lever 16 is adopted as the start operation detecting means for detecting the player's start operation, and the stop for detecting the player's stop operation is stopped. Although the stop switch 17S for detecting the operation to the stop button 17L, 17C, 17R is adopted as the operation detecting means, a touch panel switch may be used instead of or in addition to this.

  Also, for example, various counters and various timers managed under control of main CPU 51 or sub CPU 81 shown in the present embodiment are managed without departing from the scope of the invention according to the present embodiment. An aspect can be changed suitably. For example, various counters and various timers managed by "addition" may be managed by "subtraction", and in this case, the determination as to "is above" is "below". The determination as to whether or not the condition is “over” is read as the determination as to whether or not the condition is “less than”. Also, for example, various counters and various timers managed by "subtraction" may be managed by "addition", and in this case, the determination as to "is less than or equal to" may be " The judgment as to whether or not the above is replaced with the judgment as to whether or not the term is "less than", and the judgment as to whether or not "less than" is referred to as the judgment as to whether or not as "more than".

  Also, for example, various counters managed under the control of main CPU 51 shown in the present embodiment are managed under the control of sub CPU 81 without departing from the scope of the invention according to the present embodiment. The various counters managed by the control of the sub CPU 81 may be managed by the control of the main CPU 51 without departing from the scope of the invention according to the present embodiment.

  Further, for example, various control states managed by the control of the main CPU 51 shown in the present embodiment may be managed by the control of the sub CPU 81 without departing from the scope of the invention according to the present embodiment. The various control states managed by the control of the sub CPU 81 may be managed by the control of the main CPU 51 without departing from the spirit of the invention according to the present embodiment.

  As an example, some or all of the various lottery tables shown in FIGS. 28 to 48 are stored in main ROM 52, and some or all of the processes shown in FIGS. 63 to 69 are controlled by main CPU 51. It may be executed. That is, as shown in FIG. 49, transition control from normal game to CZ (CZ to normal game), transition control from CZ to first AT period, from first AT period to second AT period (second AT period to first AT period) Transition control, transition control from the 1st AT period or 2nd AT period to the addition zone (from the addition zone to the 1st AT period or 2nd AT period), part or all of the transition control from the 2nd AT period to the normal game is control of the main CPU 51 It should be executed by With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately prevent a wrongdoing made by the secondary control circuit (e.g., the secondary control circuit 42) being altered by the wrong means.

  In this case, the main CPU 51 executes each processing shown in FIGS. 63 to 68 (that is, processing at the start of the game) in step S17 of the main control processing shown in FIG. 50, and various necessary information based on the execution result. Is transmitted as a command (for example, a start command) to the sub CPU 81, and the sub CPU 81 performs necessary information based on the command transmitted by the sub control notification unit (for example, the liquid crystal display device 11) controlled by the sub control circuit 42. The notification of may be performed. Further, the main CPU 51 executes the processing shown in FIG. 69 (that is, the processing at the end of the game) in step S27 of the main control processing shown in FIG. 50, and commands the sub CPU 81 various necessary information based on the execution result. The sub CPU 81 transmits the necessary information based on the transmitted command by the sub control notification means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 11) controlled by the sub control circuit 42 (for example, winning operation command). You should do it. Further, the notification of the necessary information described above may be notified by main control notification means (for example, 7-segment display 6) controlled by the main control circuit 41.

  For example, the 7-segment display 6 is formed to be provided with a plurality of display areas (for example, three display areas). In the normal game, any one of “1” to “32” indicating the number of games for one cycle is displayed. If CZ is in progress, "0" (or "C") is displayed in the leftmost display area of the 7-segment display 6, and what number of the lottery card is in the central display area of the 7-segment display 6? And one of “1” to “8” indicating the degree of expectation of the lottery card is displayed in the display area on the rightmost side of the 7-segment display 6. Moreover, during the first AT period, “1” is displayed in the leftmost display area of the 7-segment display 6, and the value (or the number of JACs) of the first AT management game number counter is displayed in the other display areas. indicate. Also, during the second AT period, "2" is displayed in the leftmost display area of the 7-segment display 6, and the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter ("100" or more is displayed in the other display areas. For example, "99" is displayed. In addition, while in the additional zone, “3” is displayed in the leftmost display area of the 7-segment display 6, and the number of games per set (or the number of sets) is displayed in the other display areas. With this configuration, even when the gaming state is managed by the main control circuit 41, the gaming state is controlled by the main control notification means (for example, 7 segment indicator 6) controlled by the main control circuit 41. It becomes possible to report information appropriately.

  Further, for example, in the first AT period, the second AT period, and the additional zone (AT gaming state), in accordance with the internal winning combination, the notification of the procedure of the stop operation advantageous to the player (for example, stop operation sequence, see FIG. 19) In the case of performing (including in this case also in the case of informing in CZ), the procedure of the stop operation to be informing is displayed using each display area of the 7-segment display 6. As an example, when “Middle left and right bell” is determined as the internal winning combination, “2” is displayed in the leftmost display area of the 7-segment display 6, and in the central display area of the 7-segment display 6. “1” is displayed, and “3” is displayed in the rightmost display area of the 7-segment display 6. By configuring in this manner, even when the gaming state (for example, the AT gaming state) in which the main control circuit 41 notifies the procedure of the stop operation advantageous to the player is managed, the main control circuit 41 It becomes possible to accurately notify information of the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous for the player by the main control notification means (for example, 7 segment indicator 6) to be controlled.

  In this example, notification of necessary information is controlled by the sub control circuit 42 in a form in which the notification is performed only by the main control notification means (for example, 7-segment display 6) controlled by the main control circuit 41. The form notified only by the sub control notifying means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 11) or the main control notifying means (for example, 7 segment indicator 6) controlled by the main control circuit 41 and the sub control circuit 42 Although any of the forms notified by the sub control notification means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 11) can be adopted, at least the sub control notification means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 11) controlled by the sub control circuit 42 When adopting a form including being notified, the main control circuit 41 further causes the current gaming state (that is, whether it is AT gaming state or non-AT). As information corresponding to the normal or a game) is technique condition is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 42, a command (e.g., start command) is generated, it is sufficient and transmitted.

  Specifically, in the non-AT gaming state, the main CPU 51 determines a predetermined internal winning combination when a predetermined internal winning combination (for example, "push order small combination") is determined. Command that stores only the information indicating that (grouping information) is generated, and which internal winning combination of the predetermined internal winning combinations has been determined (for example, "middle left and right bell", "middle right left bell", A command that is not stored is generated for information (individual information) indicating which of “right, left, middle bell” and “right, middle, left bell” has been determined and the procedure of the stop operation.

  On the other hand, the main CPU 51 generates a command so that the individual information is stored when a predetermined internal winning combination (for example, "push order small winning combination") is determined in the AT gaming state. . For example, when "Middle left and right bell" is determined as an internal winning combination, the information and information indicating the procedure of the stop operation where the "seven" winnings occur (information indicating "Middle left and right") are individual Information is stored as information, and when “middle right left bell” is determined as an internal winning combination, information indicating the procedure of the stop operation in which the “7 sheets” winning will occur (information indicating “middle right left”) ) Is stored as individual information, and when “right and left middle bell” is determined as an internal winning combination, information indicating the stop operation procedure where “7 cards” will be generated (“right and left middle”) Is stored as individual information, and when “right middle left bell” is determined as an internal winning combination, information indicating that and a procedure for a stop operation in which “seven” winnings occur Information indicating “right, middle, left” is stored as individual information.

  Accordingly, when the sub CPU 81 includes the individual information in the command (for example, the start command) transmitted from the main CPU 51, the sub CPU 81 controls the liquid crystal display device 11 to notify the procedure of the stop operation according to the individual information. If the command (for example, the start command) transmitted from the main CPU 51 does not include the individual information, the notification of the procedure of the stop operation according to the individual information can not be performed. . Therefore, even if the secondary control circuit 42 is tampered with in any way, it is possible to prevent the profit from being illegally provided thereby.

  The data configurations of the grouping information and the individual information described above can be set as appropriate, but in this example, a method of transmitting the data ID (identification number) to the sub control circuit 42 can be mentioned as an example. it can. Here, data ID shown below indicates a hexadecimal number. For example, grouping information of "push order small part" is defined as data ID "80H".

  Then, for example, individual information of "middle left and right bell" is defined as data ID "03H", individual information of "middle right left bell" is defined as data ID "04 H", and individual information of "right left middle bell" is defined as data The ID "05H" is defined, and the individual information of "right middle left bell" is defined as data ID "06H". Also, as described above, in the case of providing "left middle right bell", the individual information of "left middle right bell" is defined as data ID "01H", and in the case of providing "left middle middle bell" The individual information of “Bell on the left and right” may be defined as data ID “02H”.

  Moreover, about individual information including the stop operation order, grouping information and information of the stop operation order may be combined. For example, when "push order small part" is determined as an internal winning combination and does not include individual information, data ID "80H" is defined and individual information of "middle left and right bell" is included. In the case of defining data ID "83H", in the case of including individual information of "middle right and left bell", defining data ID "84H" and in the case of including individual information of "right and left middle bell" Defines the data ID "85H", and defines the data ID "86H" when individual information of "right middle left bell" is included. Further, as described above, in the case of providing the "left middle right bell", when including the individual information of the "left middle right bell", the data ID "81 H" is defined and the "right middle middle bell" is provided. In the case where the individual information of "right and left middle bell" is included, the data ID "82H" may be defined.

  In addition, as the individual information, it may be possible to include information on the stop operation timing (the type of symbol to be pressed). For example, in the case where “BAR Lip 1” or “BAR Lip 2” is determined as an internal winning combination, and when individual information on the stop operation timing is included, the individual information on the left reel 3L is assigned data ID “10001101B The individual information on the middle reel 3C is defined as "01001001B", the individual information on the right reel 3R is defined as "00101100B", and these 3-byte information are transmitted to the sub control circuit 42 as individual information. It should be done. Here, bits 0 to 4 indicate the symbol position of the symbol "BAR" ("13" for left reel 3L, "10" for middle reel 3C, "12" for right reel 3R, see FIG. 10) It is data, and bits 5 to 7 indicate the type of reel (left reel 3L if bit 7 is "1", middle reel 3C if bit 6 is "1", right reel 3R if bit 5 is "1") Configured as Furthermore, when the first stop operation is performed on the left stop button 17L when "BAR Lip 1" or "BAR Lip 2" is determined as the internal winning combination, "BAR Lip A" is a prize. Information indicating that the first stop operation should be performed on the middle stop button 17C or the right stop button 17R is added to the grouping information or the individual information and transmitted to the sub control circuit 42. It is good if

  Thus, in this example, the main control circuit 41 controls the player according to the procedure of the stop operation in the advantageous gaming state (for example, the first AT period, the second AT period, and the additional zone) which is a state advantageous to the player. When a predetermined internal winning combination (e.g., "push order small combination") whose degree of advantage changes changes to the internal control, a stop by the auxiliary control notification unit (e.g., the liquid crystal display device 11) to the auxiliary control circuit 42 In the non-advantagement game state (e.g., normal game) which is not the advantageous game state (e.g., normal game), the informing operation information (for example, individual information) which enables the notification of the procedure of the operation is transmitted. When a predetermined internal winning combination (for example, "push order small winning combination") whose degree changes is internally won, the sub control circuit 42 is notified by the sub control notification means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 11) It is possible to provide notification disable information to disable the notification procedure of stop operation (e.g., above grouping information) to game machine and transmits the.

  In the gaming machine of this example, grouping information (that is, information indicating a specific internal winning combination which plays the same or similar role among a plurality of internal winning combinations) is taken as an example of notification unreceivable information. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the determined internal winning combination may be adopted as commonality information that can not be specified as the unreportable information. It is also possible to adopt type information that is information that can specify only the type of (for example, which type of the internal winning combination is a replay, a small winning combination, or a bonus).

  Further, in the gaming machine of this example, individual information (that is, individual internal winning combinations of a specific internal winning combination group having the same or similar role among a plurality of internal winning combinations) is provided as reportable information. Although the information to be shown and the information on the procedure of the stop operation corresponding to the individual internal winning combination have been described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and the stop operation procedure information (for example, the procedure of the stop operation can be specified) Only the information on the stop operation sequence and the stop operation timing (type of symbol to be pressed) may be adopted, and winning information (for example, information on winning number) capable of specifying the internal winning combination may be adopted. ) May be adopted.

  Furthermore, in this example, the main control notification means (for example, 7-segment display 6) whose notification of necessary information is controlled by the main control circuit 41 and the sub control notification means (for example, When the form notified by the liquid crystal display device 11) is adopted, each notification start timing includes all the following modes.

  First, in the first mode, the notification by the main control notification means and the notification by the sub control notification means are started substantially simultaneously. For example, the main control circuit 41 determines the internal winning combination based on the detection of the start operation, determines the notification content of the main control notification means on the basis of the determined internal winning combination, and determines the determined notification content Notification by the main control notification means is started. On the other hand, when a command (for example, a start command) including individual information is transmitted by the main control circuit 41, the sub control circuit 42 determines the notification content of the sub control notification means based on the individual information and Informing by the control informing means is started. Here, in this first aspect, each notification start timing is assumed to be before detection of the stop operation is permitted.

  In the first aspect, in order to synchronize the notification start timings of the notification by the main control notification means and the notification by the sub control notification means, for example, after the main control circuit 41 transmits the start command, After waiting until the notification by the sub control notification means is started by the sub control circuit 42, the notification by the main control notification means may be started, or the timing of starting the notification by the main control notification means may be determined in advance. Alternatively, the start command may be transmitted such that the timing is synchronized with the timing when the notification by the secondary control notification unit is started. Also, for example, synchronize each notification start timing as the rotation start time of each reel (when the main control circuit 41 transmits the reel rotation start command, the sub control circuit 42 receives the reel rotation start command). It may be

  According to the first aspect, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling discomfort even when the procedure of the stop operation is notified by the main control notification means and the sub control notification means.

  Next, the second mode is a mode in which the notification by the secondary control notification means is started earlier than the notification by the main control notification means. For example, the main control circuit 41 determines the internal winning combination based on the detection of the start operation, and determines the notification content of the main control notification means based on the determined internal winning combination. On the other hand, when a command (for example, a start command) including individual information is transmitted by the main control circuit 41, the sub control circuit 42 determines the notification content of the sub control notification means based on the individual information, and Notification by the sub control notification means is started based on the reception of the reel rotation start command. Thereafter, the main control circuit 41 starts notification by the main control notification means based on the detection of the stop operation being permitted.

  According to the second aspect, since the notification by the secondary control notification means, which is easy to be noticed by the player, is started earlier than the notification by the main control notification means, which is hard to be felt by the player. Convenience can be improved.

  The third mode is a mode in which the notification by the main control notification means is started earlier than the notification by the sub control notification means. For example, the main control circuit 41 determines the internal winning combination based on the detection of the start operation, determines the notification content of the main control notification means on the basis of the determined internal winning combination, and determines the determined notification content Notification by the main control notification means is started. Further, the main control circuit 41 transmits a command (for example, a start command) including individual information to the sub control circuit 42 after a predetermined time has elapsed since the notification by the main control notification means is started. When a command (for example, a start command) including individual information is transmitted by the main control circuit 41, the sub control circuit 42 determines the notification content of the sub control notification means based on the individual information and Start notification by means.

  In the third aspect, the main control circuit 41 is a specific command different from the above-described start command, and is predetermined after the main control notification means starts to notify the specific command including the individual information. It may be transmitted after the lapse of time. The transmission timing of this particular command may be after a predetermined time has elapsed since the detection of the start operation, or may be after a predetermined time has elapsed since the reel rotation start process (S20 in FIG. 50).

  In addition, in the third aspect, the sub control circuit 41 starts notification by the sub control notification means after a specific time has elapsed since the start command (or the specific command described above) including the individual information is received. You may do it. In the third aspect as well, each notification start timing is before the detection of the stop operation is permitted.

  According to the third aspect, the sub control circuit is clarified by clarifying that control related to the advantageous gaming state (for example, AT gaming state) is performed by the main control circuit (for example, the main control circuit 41). It is possible to prevent fraudulent acts (for example, the sub control circuit 42).

  The invention according to the present embodiment can be applied to pachinko machines, gaming machines, slot machines, and all other gaming machines without departing from the scope of the invention.

  For example, based on the game ball passing through the start area (for example, the start opening) provided in the game area, where the game ball can roll, the game area, and the game ball can pass, Special gaming state transition judging means (for example, main CPU) to determine whether or not to shift to a special gaming state (for example, big hit gaming state, small hit gaming state) which is advantageous to, identification information (for example, identification symbol) And variable pattern determination means (for example, main CPU) for determining the variation pattern of the identification information based on the determination result by the special gaming state shift determination means. , Effect execution means (for example, a liquid crystal display device) that performs an effect according to the determination result by the fluctuation pattern determination means, and effect control means (for example, a sub CP) that controls the effect execution means ) It can be applied in a pachinko machine equipped with.

  According to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, gaming machines according to at least the following first to fifth inventions can be provided.

[A game machine according to the first invention]
In recent years, there has been known a gaming machine which determines whether or not to shift to an advantageous state according to the determination result in a predetermined period of time each time the period period of a predetermined number of games has elapsed (for example, prior art document 1) JP-A-2014-208056).

  In the gaming machine shown in the prior art document 1, the number of times of execution of the specific effect is determined by lottery during the cycle period, and transition to an advantageous state is made in response to the specific effect being executed a predetermined number of times after the cycle period ends. And

  However, in the gaming machine shown in the prior art reference 1, it is determined whether or not to shift to the advantageous state depending on how many times the specific effect is executed, so that the expectation on the transition of the advantageous state is further enhanced. A gaming machine that can do that is desired.

  The first invention is made in view of such a point, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine which can further enhance the expectation regarding the transition of the advantageous state.

  The gaming machine according to the first invention has symbol display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R and display windows 4L, 4C, 4R) for variably displaying a plurality of symbols in a plurality of rows, and an internal winning combination determination The winning combination determining means (for example, the internal lottery process by the main CPU 51) and the symbol variation start control means (for example, the reel rotation start process and the reel control process by the main CPU 51) for starting the variation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means Symbol fluctuation stop control means (for example, reel stop control processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 51) for stopping fluctuation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means, and the symbol display means by the symbol fluctuation stop control means The profit giving means (for example, the main CPU) for giving a profit according to the combination of the stopped symbols when the fluctuation of the displayed symbols is stopped A gaming machine having a medal payout process according to 1), and an advantageous state control means for controlling an advantageous state (for example, a first AT period and a second AT period) in which a procedure of a stop operation advantageous to a player is notified In the case where there is a (for example, sub CPU 81), a normal period (for example, normal game) and a special period (for example, CZ) in which the probability of shifting to the advantageous state is higher than the normal period A special period transition determining means (for example, at the end of the normal gaming cycle), for example, determines whether to shift from the normal period to the special period based on the first lottery element (for example, CZ transition point) Means for determining an advantageous state transition determining means (e.g., a sub CPU 81) and whether to shift to the advantageous state based on a second lottery element (e.g., a lottery card) in the special period , Sub CPU 81), and the first lottery element is a point for determining whether or not to transition to the special period by the special period transition determining means, and the point for determining the number of points in the normal period The number determining means (for example, the sub CPU 81) and the second lottery element are lottery rights for determining whether or not to shift to the advantageous state by the advantageous state transition determining means, and in the normal period, And a lottery right determining means (e.g., sub CPU 81) capable of determining a plurality of lottery rights different in the degree of expectation (e.g., the level of the lottery card); the special period transition determining means is determined by the lottery factor determining means It is determined whether or not to shift to the special period with a probability according to the number of points, and the advantageous state transition determining means determines by the lottery factor determining means It is characterized by deciding whether or not to shift to the advantageous state with a probability according to the degree of expectation associated with the determined lottery right.

  In the gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention, the special period transition determining means always sets the special period when the number of points determined by the point number determining means is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (for example, 4 points). It is characterized by deciding to move to.

  In the first invention, the special period (e.g., the normal period (e.g., the normal game) and the special period (e.g., the first AT period and the second AT period) having a high probability of transitioning to the advantageous state) CZ), and in a normal period, at least a first lottery element (e.g., a CZ transition point) and a second lottery element (e.g., a lottery card) are determined, and based on the first lottery element It is determined whether or not to transition from the period to the special period, and it is determined whether to transition from the special period to the advantageous state based on the second lottery element. Therefore, with respect to the transition of the advantageous state, it is possible to diversify the lottery and to further increase the sense of expectation.

  In the first invention, the first lottery element indicates a point for determining whether or not to transition to a special period (for example, a CZ transition point), and the second lottery element is in an advantageous state. It indicates a lottery right to determine whether to shift (for example, a lottery card), and it is determined whether to shift from a normal period to a special period according to the number of points, and is associated with the lottery right It is determined whether to transition from the special period to the advantageous state with a probability according to the degree of expectation (for example, the level).

  Therefore, when the number of points is large, transition from the normal period to the special period is facilitated, and when the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right is high, transition from the special period to the advantageous state is facilitated. For this reason, regarding the transition of the advantageous state via the special period, the sense of expectation can be further enhanced.

  On the other hand, when the number of points is small, it is difficult to shift from the normal period to the special period, but in the first invention, by configuring in this way, it is possible to prevent excessive transition to the special period. . For example, if the transition to the special period is repeated, but the transition to the normal period is repeated without transition to the advantageous state because the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right is low, the interest of the player's game decreases. It is because there is a possibility of In the first aspect of the invention, it is further possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from being reduced.

  In the gaming machine according to the first invention, whether or not the advantageous state transition determining means transitions to the advantageous state further based on a third lottery element (for example, a special card) in the special period. The third lottery element determines the probability according to the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right when it is determined whether or not to transition to the advantageous state by the advantageous state transition determining means. An auxiliary lottery right for changing, and is characterized by further comprising auxiliary lottery right determination means (for example, sub CPU 81) capable of determining a plurality of auxiliary lottery rights in the normal period.

  In the first invention, the third lottery element may be further determined in the normal period, and it may be determined whether to shift from the special period to the advantageous state based on the third lottery element. Here, the third lottery element may be an element (for example, a special card) indicating an auxiliary lottery right for changing the probability according to the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right. In this case, with regard to the transition of the advantageous state, it is possible to further diversify the lottery and to further increase the sense of expectation.

[A game machine according to the second invention]
In recent years, there has been known a gaming machine which determines whether or not to shift to an advantageous state according to the determination result in a predetermined period of time each time the period period of a predetermined number of games has elapsed (for example, prior art document 1) JP-A-2014-208056).

  In the gaming machine shown in the prior art document 1, the number of times of execution of the specific effect is determined by lottery during the cycle period, and transition to an advantageous state is made in response to the specific effect being executed a predetermined number of times after the cycle period ends. And

  However, in the gaming machine shown in the prior art reference 1, it is determined whether or not to shift to the advantageous state depending on how many times the specific effect is executed, so that the expectation on the transition of the advantageous state is further enhanced. A gaming machine that can do that is desired.

  The second invention is made in view of such a point, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine which can further enhance the expectation regarding the transition of the advantageous state.

And the special period first determining means determines whether or not to shift to the advantageous state with a probability according to the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right determined by the lottery element determining means. It is characterized by deciding.

  In the second invention, the normal period (for example, normal gaming) and the special period (for example, the special period (for example, normal period) having a high probability of transitioning to the advantageous state than the normal period are not states of the advantageous state CZ), and in the normal period, the lottery right (for example, the lottery card) is determined, and in the special period, when it is determined whether or not to shift to the advantageous state, the lottery right is used. It is determined whether to shift to the advantageous state, and if it is not determined whether to shift to the advantageous state, it is determined whether to extinguish the lottery right.

  In addition, in the normal period, it is possible to determine a plurality of lottery rights different in degree of expectation (for example, level), and in the special period, the special period from the special period with a probability according to the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right It is determined whether to shift to In addition, it is determined that the special period ends when all the lottery rights expire. Therefore, with respect to the transition of the advantageous state, it is possible to diversify the lottery and to further increase the sense of expectation.

  In the gaming machine according to the second aspect of the invention, the special period third determining means determines the lottery right at a probability according to the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right determined by the lottery element determining means. It is characterized by deciding whether to make it disappear or not.

  In the second invention, in the special period, it may be determined whether or not the lottery right is extinguished with a probability according to the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right. In this case, with regard to the transition of the advantageous state, it is possible to further diversify the lottery and to further increase the sense of expectation.

  In the gaming machine according to the second aspect of the present invention, the lottery right has a first expectation (for example, a first expectation) used when determining whether to shift to the advantageous state by the special period first determining means. Attack level) and the second expectation (for example, defense level) used when deciding whether or not the lottery right is to be extinguished by the special period third deciding means are associated with each other It features.

  In the second invention, the lottery right has a first expectation (for example, attack level) used in deciding whether or not to shift to an advantageous state, and when deciding whether to extinguish the lottery right or not. And the second expectation (for example, defense level) used for In this case, since the contents of the determined lottery right can be changed more, it is possible to further diversify the lottery and improve the interest of the game.

[A game machine according to the third invention]
In recent years, there has been known a gaming machine which determines whether or not to shift to an advantageous state according to the determination result in a predetermined period of time each time the period period of a predetermined number of games has elapsed (for example, prior art document 1) JP-A-2014-208056).

  In the gaming machine shown in the prior art document 1, the number of times of execution of the specific effect is determined by lottery during the cycle period, and transition to an advantageous state is made in response to the specific effect being executed a predetermined number of times after the cycle period ends. And

  However, in the gaming machine shown in prior art document 1, it is determined whether or not to shift to the advantageous state depending on how many times the specific effect is executed, so it is determined that the specific effect is not performed a predetermined number of times In such a case, there was a problem that the interest of the game would be significantly reduced.

  The third invention has been made in view of such a point, and in a gaming machine where it is determined whether or not to shift to an advantageous state during a specific period, when it is not determined to shift to an advantageous state. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine which can suppress deterioration in the interest of a game even if it is.

  The gaming machine according to the third invention, symbol display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R and display windows 4L, 4C, 4R) to variably display a plurality of symbols in a plurality of lines, and an internal winning combination is determined The winning combination determining means (for example, the internal lottery process by the main CPU 51) and the symbol variation start control means (for example, the reel rotation start process and the reel control process by the main CPU 51) for starting the variation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means Symbol fluctuation stop control means (for example, reel stop control processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 51) for stopping fluctuation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means, and the symbol display means by the symbol fluctuation stop control means The profit giving means (for example, the main CPU) for giving a profit according to the combination of the stopped symbols when the fluctuation of the displayed symbols is stopped A gaming machine having a medal payout process according to 1), and an advantageous state control means for controlling an advantageous state (for example, a first AT period and a second AT period) in which a procedure of a stop operation advantageous to a player is notified In the case where there is a (for example, sub CPU 81), a normal period (for example, normal game) and a special period (for example, CZ) in which the probability of shifting to the advantageous state is higher than the normal period Special period transition determination means (for example, sub CPU 81) for determining whether or not to shift from the normal period to the special period (for example, at the end of the normal gaming cycle); , A lottery right determining means (eg, sub CPU 81) capable of determining a plurality of lottery rights (eg, lottery cards) different in level), and the lottery right determination in the special period Special period first determining means (for example, AT acquisition / lottery process shown in S506 of FIG. 66) for determining whether or not to shift to the advantageous state based on the lottery right determined by the means; A special period for determining whether or not the lottery right determined by the lottery right determining means is to be extinguished if the special period first determining means does not determine whether to shift to the advantageous state or not 2 points to be awarded when it is determined that the lottery right is extinguished by the second special period determination means in the special period (e.g., the card disappearance lottery process shown in S509 of FIG. 66) Special period third determining means (for example, relottery point lottery processing shown in S511 of FIG. 66) for determining the number (for example, relottery points); Special period end determination means for determining the end of the special period when it is determined to extinguish all the lottery rights by the special period second determination means (for example, as shown in S515 of FIG. 66) Processing) and advantageous state transition redetermining means (redetermining whether or not to transition to the advantageous state in the normal period, when it is determined to end the special period by the special period end determining means) For example, the process shown in S531 of FIG. 67), and the special period first determining means has the probability according to the degree of expectation corresponding to the lottery right determined by the lottery factor determining means. It is determined whether or not to shift to an advantageous state, and the advantageous state transition redetermining means determines the advantageous state with a probability according to the number of points determined by the special period third determining means. Characterized by re-determining whether to shift.

  In the third invention, the normal period (e.g., normal game) and the special period (e.g., having a high probability of transitioning to the advantageous state over the normal period) are not in the advantageous state (e.g., the first AT period and the second AT period). CZ) is provided, and in a normal period, a lottery right (for example, a lottery card) is determined, and in a special period, whether to shift to an advantageous state is determined based on the lottery right, and transition to an advantageous state If no decision is made, it is decided whether to extinguish the lottery right.

  In addition, in the normal period, it is possible to determine a plurality of lottery rights different in degree of expectation (for example, level), and in the special period, the special period from the special period with a probability according to the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right It is determined whether to shift to In addition, it is determined that the special period ends when all the lottery rights expire. Therefore, with respect to the transition of the advantageous state, it is possible to diversify the lottery and to further increase the sense of expectation.

  In the third invention, when it is determined to extinguish the lottery right, the number of points (for example, relottery points) is given, and all the lottery rights are extinguished. In the case of transition, it is redetermined whether to transition to the advantageous state with a probability according to the number of points. Therefore, even if it is not determined to shift to the advantageous state in the special period, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the interest of the game.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the third invention, the advantageous state transition redetermining means is determined to end the special period by the special period end determining means, and the first transition from the special period to the normal period is made. In the game, the lottery right determining means redetermines whether to shift to the advantageous state by the advantageous state shifting redetermining means. It is characterized in that the determination of the lottery right is not made (for example, processing during normal game shown in FIG. 67).

  In the third invention, in the first game transitioning from the special period to the normal period, it is redetermined whether or not to transition to the advantageous state with a probability according to the number of points, and it is redetermined to transition to the advantageous state In this case, a decision on the right of lottery may be made. In this case, since redetermination of whether or not to shift to the advantageous state is performed at an early stage, it is possible to further suppress deterioration in the interest of the game. Further, in this case, it is possible to prevent the lottery right from being excessively granted, and therefore, it is possible to achieve the balance between the profits of the player and the game arcade.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the third invention, the special period second determining means determines the lottery right at a probability according to the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right determined by the lottery element determining means. A first expectation (for example, attack level) used in deciding whether or not to extinguish, and for the lottery right to decide whether to shift to the advantageous state by the special period first deciding means And a second expectation (for example, a defense level) used when deciding whether or not the lottery right is to be extinguished by the special period third deciding means is associated with each other. .

  In the third invention, in the special period, it is determined whether or not the lottery right is extinguished with a probability according to the degree of expectation associated with the lottery right, and whether to shift to the advantageous state to the lottery right Matching the first expectation (for example, attack level) used when deciding the second and the second expectation (for example, defense level) used when deciding whether to extinguish the lottery right It may be In this case, since the contents of the determined lottery right can be changed more, it is possible to further diversify the lottery and improve the interest of the game.

  In the gaming machine according to the third aspect of the present invention, the special period fourth determination is performed to determine whether the special period first determination means determines whether to shift to the advantageous state in the special period. Means (for example, attack right acquisition processing shown in S 504 of FIG. 66), and the special period second determination means is shifted to the advantageous state by the special period first determination means by the special period fourth determination means It is characterized in that it is determined whether or not the lottery right is extinguished if it is determined that the determination as to whether or not to be made.

  In the third invention, it is further determined whether or not to determine whether to shift to the advantageous state, and it is determined that the determination to determine whether to shift to the advantageous state is not performed. , It may be determined whether or not the lottery right is to be extinguished. In this case, when it is determined whether or not to shift to the advantageous state, it is not determined to extinguish the lottery right, so it is advantageous despite the determination to determine whether or not to shift to the advantageous state. Even if it is not decided to shift to the state, the sense of expectation in the special period can be maintained.

[A game machine according to the fourth invention]
In recent years, there has been known a gaming machine which determines whether or not to shift to an advantageous state according to the determination result in a predetermined period of time each time the period period of a predetermined number of games has elapsed (for example, prior art document 1) JP-A-2014-208056).

  In the gaming machine shown in the prior art document 1, the number of times of execution of the specific effect is determined by lottery during the cycle period, and transition to an advantageous state is made in response to the specific effect being executed a predetermined number of times after the cycle period ends. And

  However, in the gaming machine shown in the prior art reference 1, it is determined whether or not to shift to the advantageous state depending on how many times the specific effect is executed, so that the expectation on the transition of the advantageous state is further enhanced. A gaming machine that can do that is desired.

In this case, since it is possible to indicate to the player which lottery right to be replaced is the same and to show the player the difference in the degree of expectation of the lottery right before and after replacement. It can be further improved.

[A game machine according to the fifth invention]
In recent years, there has been known a gaming machine which terminates an advantageous state advantageous to a player based on the fact that the number of difference sheets in the advantageous state reaches a predetermined number (for example, prior art document 2: JP-A-2005-124678). Issue).

  In the gaming machine shown in prior art reference 2, the difference is the number of game media paid out to the player by the winning establishment (display of the combination of symbols relating to the provision of game media). Since it is calculated by subtracting the number of inserted game media (number of inserted media), it is considered to be one of the indicators for measuring the degree of acquisition of the number of game media by the player.

  However, in the gaming machine shown in the prior art reference 2, there is a problem that the game obtained in the advantageous state is monotonous because there is no change in the profit obtained in the advantageous state.

  The fifth invention is made in view of such a point, and provides a game machine capable of changing the end time of the advantageous state in the gaming machine in which the advantageous state is managed by the difference number of sheets. With the goal.

  The gaming machine according to the fifth invention, symbol display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R and display windows 4L, 4C, 4R) to variably display a plurality of symbols in a plurality of lines, and an internal winning combination is determined The winning combination determining means (for example, the internal lottery process by the main CPU 51) and the symbol variation start control means (for example, the reel rotation start process and the reel control process by the main CPU 51) for starting the variation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means Symbol fluctuation stop control means (for example, reel stop control processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 51) for stopping fluctuation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means, and the symbol display means by the symbol fluctuation stop control means The profit giving means (for example, the main CPU) for giving a profit according to the combination of the stopped symbols when the fluctuation of the displayed symbols is stopped 1) a gaming machine having a medal payout process (1), wherein advantageous state control means (eg, sub-control means) is controlled to an advantageous state (eg, second AT period) in which a procedure of stop operation advantageous to the player is notified CPU 81), a difference number storage means (for example, a second AT management difference number counter) for storing the difference number in the advantageous state, and a combination of symbols relating to the provision of gaming media in the symbol display means in the advantageous state Difference number updating means for updating the difference number stored in the difference number storage means based on the fact that the game medium is provided by the profit giving means (for example, the process shown in S489 of FIG. 65) And in the advantageous state, the difference sheet number is updated by the difference sheet number updating unit, and the difference sheet number stored by the difference sheet number storage unit becomes a predetermined value. Based on the advantageous state termination determining means (for example, the process shown in S 491 of FIG. 65) for determining the termination of the advantageous state, and the predetermined right (for example, “special card subtraction And the right number determining means (for example, the process shown in S 486 in FIG. 65) for determining whether or not to give “slow”), and When the update is performed, a change rate (for example, 1/2) for changing the value to be updated is associated, and the difference sheet update unit is configured to update the predetermined number of rights. The difference sheet number stored in the difference sheet number storage unit is updated based on the change rate associated with the predetermined right (for example, the process shown in S488 of FIG. 65 is performed).

  In the fifth aspect of the present invention, whether or not the advantageous state is ended is managed by the number of sheets in the advantageous state (for example, the second AT period) (for example, the value of the second AT management difference sheet counter). Here, in the advantageous state, when a predetermined right (for example, “special card (difference sheet subtraction throw)”) is given, a change rate (for example, 1⁄2) associated with the predetermined right The value by which the difference sheet number is updated is changed by. Therefore, even when the advantageous state is managed by the difference sheet number, it is possible to change the end time of the advantageous state.

  In the gaming machine according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, special state control means (e.g., first AT period) for notifying a procedure of stop operation advantageous to the player, different from the advantageous state, is controlled (e.g., first AT period) , The sub CPU 81), the additional lottery means (for example, the process shown in S456 in FIG. 64) for executing the additional lottery in the special state, and ending the special state when a predetermined termination condition is satisfied. The special state end determining means (for example, the process shown in S 467 in FIG. 64) to determine is further provided, and the advantageous state control means determines that the special state end is to be ended by the special state end determining means. The above-mentioned advantageous state is controlled, and the above-mentioned predetermined value is determined based on the lottery result by the above-mentioned additional lottery means.

  In the fifth invention, it is decided to shift to the advantageous state through the special state (for example, the first AT period), and the predetermined value of the number of difference sheets which will end the advantageous state is the lottery of the extra lottery in the special state. It may be determined by the result. In this case, since the predetermined value itself of the number of difference sheets that the advantageous state ends is also changed, it is possible to further change the end time of the advantageous state.

  In the gaming machine according to the fifth invention, the special state includes a first special state (for example, a first AT period (normal)) and a second special state (for example, a first AT period (during a JAC)). The above-mentioned additional lottery means is a first lottery (for example, a lottery of the superclass type “superimposed on the number of differences”) for shifting whether or not the number of differences is to be added, and transition from the first special state to the second special state In the case of shifting to the second special state and the second special state (for example, the sort of the additional classification "push order JAC" or "confirmed JAC") and whether the procedure of the stop operation for causing is notified Furthermore, it is characterized in that it is possible to execute a third lottery (for example, the process of S 565 in FIG. 69) of extracting the difference number to be additionally added.

  In the fifth aspect of the invention, in the special state, a predetermined value of the number of difference sheets which ends the advantageous state may be extracted by a plurality of extraction triggers. In this case, it is possible to diversify the lottery in the special state to further change the end time of the advantageous state.
