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

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

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

  The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined period output from the crystal oscillator 315b as a system clock. Further, when the power is turned on, the CPU 304 transmits the frequency division data stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 306 to the counter timer 312. The counter timer 312 sets the interrupt time based on the received frequency division data. An interrupt request is transmitted to the CPU 304 at every interrupt time. In response to this interrupt request, the CPU 304 monitors each sensor and transmits a drive pulse. For example, when the clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 315b is set to 8 MHz, the frequency division value of the counter timer 312 is set to 1/256, and the data for frequency division of the ROM 306 is set to 47, the interrupt reference time is 256 × 47 ÷ 8 MHz. = 1.504 ms.

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

  The random value generation circuit 316 generates a random value used in the basic circuit 302. Random value generation in the random value generation circuit 316 can be broadly divided into two types of methods: counter mode and random number mode. In the counter mode, a numerical value that is counted up (down) at a predetermined time interval is acquired, and the numerical value is derived as a random value. There are two more methods in the random number mode. The first method in the random number mode performs a calculation by a predetermined function (for example, a modulus function) using the seed of the random number value, and derives the calculation result as a random number value. In the second method, a numerical value is read from a random number table in which numerical values in the range of 0 to 65535 are randomly arranged, and the read numerical value is derived as a random value. The random value generation circuit 316 acquires irregular values using white noise superimposed on signals input from the various sensors 318 to the sensor circuit 320. The random number generation circuit 316 uses the acquired value as an initial value of a counter that counts up (down) in the counter mode, uses it as a seed for a random value, or determines a read start position of a random number table. Use.

  In addition, the main control unit 300 includes a sensor circuit 320, and the CPU 304 is inserted from various sensors 318 (a bet button 130 sensor, a bet button 131 sensor, a bet button 132 sensor, and a medal slot 141 at every interruption time. Medal reception sensor, start lever 135 sensor, stop button 137 sensor, stop button 138 sensor, stop button 139 sensor, checkout button 134 sensor, medal payout sensor for medals paid out from the medal payout device 180, optical type of the reel 110 Sensor, optical sensor of reel 111, optical sensor of reel 112, etc.).

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

  Two medal acceptance sensors are installed in the internal passage of the medal insertion slot 141 and detect whether or not a medal has passed. Two start lever 135 sensors are installed inside the start lever 135 and detect a start operation by the player.

<Pattern arrangement>
Next, the symbol arrangement applied to each of the reels 110 to 112 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram in which the arrangement of symbols applied to each reel (left reel 110, middle reel 111, right reel 112) is developed in a plane.

  In each reel 110 to 112, a plurality of types (9 types in this embodiment) of symbols shown on the right side of the same figure are arranged in a predetermined number of frames (20 frames of numbers 0 to 19 in this embodiment). . Also, numbers 0 to 19 shown at the left end of the figure are numbers indicating the arrangement positions of symbols on the reels 110 to 112. For example, in the present embodiment, “replay symbol” is assigned to the number 0 frame of the left reel 110, “blue 7 symbol” is assigned to the number 0 frame of the middle reel 111, and “cherry” is assigned to the number 0 frame of the right reel 112. Each “design” is arranged.

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

  The winning combination of the slot machine 100 includes a special combination (special combination 1, special combination 2) and a general combination (replay combination 1 to replay combination 4, small combination 1 to small combination 16). The types of winning combinations are not limited to these combinations and can be arbitrarily adopted.

  Among the winning combinations in this embodiment, the special combination 1 and the special combination 2 are combinations that shift to a special gaming state in which a predetermined profit is given to the player. In addition, the replaying role 1 to the replaying role 4 are roles (a role to which a replay is given) that enables replaying without newly inserting medals. These winning combinations may be referred to as “acting combinations”. In addition, “winning” in the present embodiment includes a case where a symbol combination of an operating combination not accompanied by a medal payout (without medal payout) is displayed on an active line. A special combination 2 and a prize for replaying combination 1 to replaying combination 4 are included.

  The symbol combination corresponding to special role 1 (BB) is “red 7 symbol-red 7 symbol-red 7 symbol”, and the symbol combination corresponding to special role 2 (RB) is “BAR symbol-BAR symbol-BAR”. "Design".

  When the special combination 1 or special combination 2 is won internally, a special combination internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination is set to ON (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300). When this flag is set to ON, the main control unit 300 sets the gaming state to the special combination 1 and 2 internal winning state (details will be described later with reference to FIG. 7. Hereinafter, this state may be referred to as RT1. ). This flag is kept on until winning the internal winning combination, and it becomes easy to win the internal winning combination in subsequent games. That is, in a game in which the special role 1 or special role 2 is internally won, even if the special role is not won, the special combination will be in an internal state in the next game or later, and the symbol combination corresponding to the special role will be It will be easy to win all together.

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

  Re-Gamer 1 to Re-Gamer 4 are a winning combination (operating combination) that can play a game without inserting a medal (game medium) in the next game by winning, and no medals are paid out. . The corresponding symbol combinations are as shown in FIG. The re-game player may be a player who can play the next game without inserting a medal. Therefore, for example, when a re-game is won, a medal may be automatically inserted in the next game (the medal-inserted number is reset in the medal-inserted number storage area), or a re-game is won. The medals inserted in the game may be carried over to the next game as they are and used.

  A small combination 1 to small combination 16 is a winning combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning (there is a payout number), and corresponding symbol combinations and payout numbers are as shown in FIGS. It should be noted that “Cherry Symbol-ANY-ANY”, which is a symbol combination corresponding to the small role 2, is sufficient if the symbol of the left reel 110 is “Cherry Symbol”, and the symbol of the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 is any symbol. But it's okay. In addition, the “replay symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol” shown in FIG. 6 is not a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination but may be aligned when a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination is not complete, that is, when there is no winning combination. It is a certain symbol combination (spilled eyes) (see, for example, FIGS. 37 (h) and 38 (h)).

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

  The main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 is roughly classified into a replay low probability 1 state (RT0), a replay low probability 2 state (RT3), a replay high probability 1 state (RT4), and a replay high probability 2 state. (RT5), replay high probability 3 state (RT6), special combination 1-2 internal winning state (RT1), and special combination 1-2 game state (RT2). In the present embodiment, the gaming states roughly divided into seven are referred to as RT gaming states. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 300 also controls a state related to a so-called AT (assist time) (hereinafter referred to as an AT game state), and according to the AT game state determined by the main control unit 300, The first sub-control unit 400 is configured to set a gaming state. Note that the AT gaming state of the main controller 300 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a lottery table for winning combinations in each gaming state. The horizontal axis represents each gaming state, and the vertical axis represents a lottery value of a plurality of types of winning combinations provided corresponding to each gaming state. The internal winning probability of the winning combination in each gaming state described below is a random number obtained from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306 corresponding to the range of the lottery data associated with each winning combination. It is obtained by a value divided by numerical data in a numerical range (for example, 65535). For example, in the replay low probability 1 state (RT0), the lottery value of the small combination 1 is 540, and the winning probability of the small combination 1 is 540/65536 × 100≈0.8%.

  The lottery data is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each combination and lose is associated with each numerical range. As a result of executing the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the obtained random number value is a value corresponding to the lottery data corresponding to any of the combinations, and the internal lottery combination is determined. This lottery data is provided with settings 1 to 6 in which the winning probabilities of at least one combination are different, and a game shop clerk can arbitrarily select and set one of the set values. In addition, the internal winning probability shown in this figure is an example, and is not limited to this probability. Hereinafter, the RT gaming state of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

<Replay low probability 1 state (RT0)>
The re-game low probability 1 state (RT0) is a default RT-type game state (hereinafter, also referred to as “normal game state”) that is initially set immediately after the slot machine 100 is turned on. Therefore, the game state is relatively disadvantageous compared to other game states. In the replay low probability 1 state (RT0), the winning combination to be won internally is drawn by referring to the lottery table in the column “RT0” on the horizontal axis shown in FIG.

  In the replay low probability 1 state (RT0), the winning combination that is won internally is Special Role 1, Special Role 2, Replay Role 1, Small Role 1, Small Role 2, Special Role 1 + Small Role 1, Special Role 2+ Small Role 1, Special Role 1 + Small Role 2, Special Role 2+ Small Role 2, Small Role 3, Small Role 3 + Small Role 4 + Small Role 5 (LCR) (hereinafter also referred to as Small Role 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR)), Small Role 3+ Small part 6 + small part 7 (LRC) (hereinafter also referred to as small part 3 + 6 + 7 (LRC)), small part 3 + small part 8 + small part 9 + small part 10 + small part 11 (CLR) (hereinafter small part 3 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 (CLR)) Small role 3 + small role 8 + small role 12 + small role 13 + small role 14 (CRL) (hereinafter also referred to as small role 3 + 8 + 12 + 13 + 14 (CRL)), small role 3 + small role 10 + small role 11 + small role 15 ( RLC) (hereinafter also referred to as small role 3 + 10 + 11 + 15 (RLC). , There is a small combination 3+ Small Win 13+ Small Win 14+ Small Win 16 (RCL) (hereinafter, also referred to as a small win 3 + 13 + 14 + 16 (RCL).).

  If the winning combination is not won, the game is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed. In addition, the fact that the symbol combination related to winning in the winning line is not stopped may be referred to as “losing”. In addition, the fact that the winning combination has not been won may be expressed as “winning”.

  Here, “special combination 1 + small combination 1” indicates that special combination 1 and small combination 1 were simultaneously elected internally. Similarly, “special role 1 + small role 2” means that special role 1 and small role 2 were simultaneously elected internally, and “special role 2 + small role 1” means that special role 2 and small role 1 were simultaneously elected internally. “Special role 2 + small role 2” indicates that special role 2 and small role 2 were simultaneously elected internally. In these cases, it is determined whether a symbol combination corresponding to any combination is displayed according to the player's operation. More specifically, the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning line are stopped unless any of the winning combinations in the winning line is impossible.

  In the present embodiment, a “push order combination (operation order combination)” including a combination that can be awarded only when a stop operation is performed according to the correct operation sequence (correct push sequence) is provided, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination May be referred to as a “push order small combination”.

Furthermore, the game may be ended when a predetermined number of times (for example, 8 times) has been won, or when a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times) of games have been played.

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

  The main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 is roughly divided into a normal mode, an AT mode preparation state, an AT mode, and a bonus mode. The AT mode further includes an AT mode (normal state) and an AT mode (AT set addition). CZ preparation state) and AT mode (AT set addition CZ state). In the present embodiment, the AT mode roughly divided into five is called an AT gaming state,

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

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

<AT mode ready state>
The AT mode ready state is a gaming state in which an AT right is acquired and a transition to the AT mode is possible. FIG. 8 shows the AT mode (normal state) when a predetermined specific condition B is satisfied (in this example, when the symbol combination corresponding to the re-gamer 2 is displayed on the pay line L1). When the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 (or special combination 2) is displayed on the winning line L1, it is indicated that the process shifts to a bonus mode described later.

  As described above, in the transition of the RT gaming state, the condition for transitioning (promoting) from the low replay probability 2 state (RT3) to the high replay probability 1 state (RT4) is the same as the specific condition B. Since it is a case where it is satisfied (a case where the symbol combination corresponding to the re-playing combination 2 is displayed on the winning line L1), when the RT gaming state shifts (promotions) to the gaming high probability 1 state (RT4) In some cases, the AT gaming state shifts to the AT mode (normal state).

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

<AT mode (with AT set on CZ ready)>
The AT mode (AT set extra CZ preparation state) is a gaming state in which an AT set extra CZ right is acquired and a transition to an AT set extra CZ state described later can be made. In FIG. 8, when a predetermined specific condition D is satisfied (in this example, the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game player 4 is displayed on the winning line L1 in the state where the C-set right is added on the AT set) In the case), when the AT mode (AT set added CZ state) is entered and the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 (or special combination 2) is displayed on the winning line L1, the bonus mode described later is entered. It has been shown to migrate.

  As described above, in the transition of the gaming state of the RT system, the condition for shifting (promoting) from the high replay probability 2 state (RT5) to the high replay probability 3 state (RT6) is the same as the specific condition D. Since this is the case (when the symbol combination corresponding to the re-playing player 4 is displayed on the winning line L1), the RT gaming state shifts (promotes) to the gaming high probability 3 state (RT6). In some cases, the AT gaming state shifts to the AT mode (AT set addition CZ state).

<AT mode (with AT set on CZ state)>
The AT mode (AT set added CZ state) is a gaming state in a CZ (chance zone) where an AT set can be added. In FIG. 8, when the predetermined specific condition E is satisfied (in this example, when the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game player 2 is displayed on the pay line L1), the AT mode (normal state) When the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 (or special combination 2) is displayed on the winning line L1, it is indicated that the process shifts to a bonus mode described later.

  As described above, in the transition of the gaming state of the RT system, the condition for transitioning (demotion) from the replay probability 3 state (RT6) to the replay probability 2 state (RT5) is the same as the specific condition E. Since it is a case (when the symbol combination corresponding to the re-playing game 2 is displayed on the winning line L1), when the RT gaming state shifts (relegates) to the gaming high probability 2 state (RT5) In some cases, the AT gaming state shifts to the AT mode (normal mode).

<Bonus mode>
The bonus mode is a state in which the RT game state is shifted to the special role 1 or 2 game state (RT2) and the bonus game is being executed. In FIG. 8, when a predetermined specific condition G is satisfied (in this example, when more than the prescribed number of medals are paid out and there is a stock of AT rights), the mode shifts to the AT mode preparation state and is determined in advance. When the specific condition H is satisfied (in this example, when the number of medals exceeds the prescribed number and there is no AT right stock), it is indicated that the mode is changed to the normal mode.

<Push order effect of main control unit (operation condition notification effect)>
Next, a push order effect (hereinafter also referred to as “operation condition notification effect” or “push order navigation”) of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing stop data, a push order flag, an outline of reel stop control, and 7-segment data in the case of internal winning for re-game 1 + 2, re-game 2 + 3, and re-game 2 + 4.

In addition, (4) when the small winning combination 3 + 8 + 12 + 13 + 14 (CRL) is won internally, the stop data TD13 is selected, the correct push order flag is set to ON, and the first stop operation = medium and the second stop operation = right Since the third stop operation = the left is the correct operation order, the 7-segment data SEG7 suggesting that the correct operation order is middle right / left is selected.

  Also, (5) when the small winning combination 3 + 10 + 11 + 15 (RLC) is won internally, the stop data TD14 is selected, the correct push order flag is set on, and the first stop operation = right, the second stop operation = left Since the third stop operation = middle is the correct operation sequence, the 7-segment data SEG8 suggesting that the correct operation sequence is right / left is selected. In addition, when (6) small winning combination 3 + 13 + 14 + 16 (RCL) is won internally, stop data TD15 is selected, correct answer push order flag is set on, and first stop operation = right, second stop operation = medium Since the third stop operation = the left is the correct operation order, the 7-segment data SEG9 suggesting that the correct operation order is right middle left is selected.

  Here, the display mode of the 7-segment data SEG4 to 9 on the payout number display device 127 is as shown in FIG. The player can visually grasp the correct operation order from the lighting state of the payout number display device 127. In addition, as shown to Fig.12 (a), the same figure (b), in the push order production | presentation of the main-control part 300 of this embodiment, when showing the same operation order (For example, 1st stop operation is left etc.) Even so, the 7-segment lighting location is changed according to the internal winning combination. Therefore, the player can grasp not only the operation order but also the type of the internal winning combination by looking at the display mode of the payout number display 127.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 300 also includes a command including the correct operation order corresponding to the selected 7-segment data (hereinafter, a command including the operation order corresponding to the selected 7-segment data is referred to as a 7-segment data command). Is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. For example, when the re-game player 1 + 2 is internally won in the re-gaming low probability 2 state (RT3) and 7-segment data SEG1 is selected as 7-segment data, a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG1 selection is transmitted. In addition, when the re-game combination 2 + 3 is internally won in the re-gaming high probability 1 state (RT4) and 7-segment data SEG2 is selected as 7-segment data, a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG2 selection is transmitted. Further, when the re-game combination 2 + 4 is internally won in the re-game high probability 2 state (RT5) and the 7-segment data SEG3 is selected as the 7-segment data, a 7-segment data command indicating selection of the 7-segment data SEG3 is transmitted. Also, in the case of the low replay probability 1 state (RT0), when a small combination 3 + 4 is internally won and 7-segment data SEG4 is selected as 7-segment data, a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG4 selection is transmitted.

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

  In the push order effect of the sub control unit of the present embodiment, the content of the push order effect is determined based on the 7-segment data command received from the main control unit 300. Here, the push order effect of the sub-control unit refers to the effect executed by the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command from the main control unit 300 and the second sub-control unit that has received the command from the first sub-control unit 400. Both of the effects performed by 500 are included, and the sub control unit includes a first sub control unit 400 and a second sub control unit 500. Needless to say, the push order effect according to the present embodiment may be executed by one control unit.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, when a 7-segment data command indicating selection of 7-segment data SEG1 is received, effect 1-1 is selected when the mode is the normal mode, and effect is generated when the mode is the AT mode. 1-2 or production 1-3 is selected. Also, as shown in FIG. 13B, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG4 selection is received, effect 1-2 is selected regardless of the mode, and 7-segment data indicating 7-segment data SEG5 selection. When the command is received, the effect 1-3 is selected regardless of the mode.

  Here, the effect 1-1 displays the characters “1--” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, lights up the left side lamp 144, and sounds “press from the left” via the speakers 272 and 277. Is an effect that suggests that the first stop operation is on the left. The effect 1-2 is an effect that suggests that the correct operation sequence is left → middle → right, for example, by displaying the character “123” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157. 3 is an effect suggesting that the correct operation sequence is the left-to-right-to-middle operation sequence by displaying the character "132" in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 13A, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG2 selection is received, effect 2-1 is selected when the mode is the normal mode, and when the mode is the AT mode. The effect 2-2 or the effect 2-3 is selected. Also, as shown in FIG. 13B, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG6 selection is received, effect 2-2 is selected regardless of the mode, and 7-segment data indicating 7-segment data SEG7 selection. When the command is received, the effect 2-3 is selected regardless of the mode.

  Here, the effect 2-1 displays the characters “−1−” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, lights up the upper lamp 146, and sounds “press from inside” through the speakers 272 and 277. This is an effect that suggests that the first stop operation is in progress, for example, by outputting. The effect 2-2 is an effect that suggests that the correct operation order is the order of middle → left → right by displaying the character “213” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, etc. 3 is an effect suggesting that the correct operation sequence is the middle → right → left sequence by displaying the character “312” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 13A, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG3 selection is received, the production 3-1 is selected when the mode is the normal mode, and the mode is the AT mode. The effect 3-2 or the effect 3-3 is selected. Also, as shown in FIG. 13B, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG8 selection is received, effect 3-2 is selected regardless of the mode, and 7-segment data indicating 7-segment data SEG9 selection. When the command is received, the effect 3-3 is selected regardless of the mode.

  Here, the production 3-1 displays the character “--1” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, turns on the right side lamp 144, and sounds “press from the right” via the speakers 272 and 277. Is an effect that suggests that the first stop operation is on the right. The effect 3-2 is an effect that suggests that the correct operation order is the order of right → left → middle by displaying the character “231” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157. 3 is an effect that suggests that the correct operation order is the order of right → middle → left, for example, by displaying the character “321” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157.

  In the present embodiment, the second sub-operation and the third stop operation are pushed in the first sub-control unit 400 in the case where one of the re-game players is internally won during the AT mode (see FIG. 32). The second stop and the third stop distribution lottery in the internal lottery command reception process are performed, and it is determined according to the result of the lottery. In the present embodiment, in the AT mode, the same effect data is used when the operation order is the same regardless of the internal winning combination. For example, in the AT mode, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG1 selection is received by internal winning of the re-playing player 1 + 2 and 7-segment data SEG1 is selected in the AT mode, 7-segment data SEG1 is selected. When a segment data command is received, in AT mode, when a 7 segment data command indicating 7 segment data SEG1 selection is received by internal winning of re-playing combination 2 + 4, and internal segment winning 7 segment data is selected for small segment 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR) When the 7-segment data command indicating SEG4 selection is received, the effect 1-2 is selected in all cases, so the first sub-control unit 400 executes the push order effect in the same effect mode. As described above, in this embodiment, when the operation order is the same regardless of the internal winning combination, the push order effect using the same effect data is executed, and therefore the effect data of the first sub-control unit 400 is used. Can be reduced.

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

<Operation of slot machine>
Hereinafter, processing of the main control unit 300, the first sub control unit 400, and the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Main control unit main processing>
First, the main process of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit 300.

  Basic control of the game is performed mainly by the CPU 304 of the main controller 300, and the CPU 304 repeatedly executes the main process of the main controller shown in FIG.

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

  In step S102, medal insertion / start operation acceptance processing is executed. Here, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted, and the winning line display lamp 120 is turned on in response to the insertion of the medal. In addition, preparation is made for transmitting a medal insertion command indicating that a medal has been inserted to the first sub-control unit 400. When a re-game player is won in the previous game, the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game are processed, so that it is not necessary for the player to insert medals. Also, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated, and if it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the number of inserted medals is determined and a valid pay line is determined and generated by the random number generation circuit 316. Get random numbers. In step S102, the first sub control unit 400 is prepared to transmit a start lever reception command indicating that the start lever 135 has been operated.

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

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

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

<Internal winning lottery process>
Next, the winning combination internal lottery process (step S103) in the main process of the main control unit will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the flow of the winning combination internal lottery process.

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

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

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

  In step S301, it is determined whether or not a small combination 1 or a small combination 2 has been internally won. If not, the AT lottery process is terminated. If applicable, the processes after step S302 are performed. In step S302, it is determined whether the AT flag stored in the RAM 308 is on or off. If the AT flag is on (if the AT right is present), the process proceeds to step S306. If the AT flag is off (if the AT right is not present), the process proceeds to step S306. Proceed to step S303. In step S303, an AT initial lottery is performed using a random number or the like, and in the next step S304, it is determined whether or not the AT initial lottery is won. As a result of the determination, the AT lottery process is terminated in the case of non-winning, and in the case of winning, the process proceeds to step S305, and after the AT flag is set to ON, the AT lottery process is terminated. If the AT flag is set to ON in step S305, the specific condition A (acquisition of AT right) is satisfied in the mode transition described with reference to FIG.

  In step S306, an AT set extra CZ lottery is performed using a random number or the like, and in the next step S307, it is determined whether or not the AT set extra CZ lottery is won. As a result of the determination, the AT lottery process is terminated in the case of non-winning, and proceeds to step S308 in the case of winning. In step S308, it is determined whether the AT set extra CZ flag stored in the RAM 308 is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S309, and 1 is added to the stock number of the AT set extra CZ, and then the AT lottery. The process ends. On the other hand, if it is off, the process proceeds to step S310, the AT set addition CZ flag is set to on, and then the AT lottery process is terminated. If the AT set extra CZ flag is set to ON in step S310, the specific condition C (acquisition of AT set extra CZ right) is satisfied in the mode transition described with reference to FIG.

<Push order flag setting process>
Next, the push order flag setting process (step S203) in the winning combination internal lottery process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the flow of the push order flag setting process.

  In step S401, it is determined whether or not the current RT is RT3 (replay low probability 2 state). If so, the process proceeds to step S402 to perform RT3 push order flag setting processing (details will be described later). After that, the push order flag setting process is terminated. If not, the process proceeds to step S403. In step S403, it is determined whether or not the current RT is RT4 (high replay probability 1 state). If so, the process proceeds to step S404 to perform RT4 push order flag setting processing (details will be described later). After that, the push order flag setting process is terminated. If not, the process proceeds to step S405.

  In step S405, it is determined whether or not the current RT is RT5 (high replay probability 2 state). If so, the process proceeds to step S406 to perform RT5 push order flag setting processing (details will be described later). After that, the push order flag setting process is terminated. If not, the process proceeds to step S407. In step S407, it is determined whether or not the current RT is RT6 (high replay probability 3 state). If so, the process proceeds to step S408 to perform RT6 push order flag setting processing (details will be described later). After that, the push order flag setting process is terminated. If not applicable, the push order flag setting process is terminated.

<RT3 push order flag setting process>
Next, the RT3 push order flag setting process (step S402) in the push order flag setting process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the flow of the RT3 push order flag setting process.

  In step S501, it is determined whether the AT flag is on or off. If it is off (in the normal mode), the RT3 push order flag setting process is terminated, and if it is on (in the AT mode). The process proceeds to step S502. In step S502, it is determined whether or not the push order small combination has been won. If applicable, the process proceeds to step S505, and if not, the process proceeds to step S503.

  In step S503, it is determined whether or not the re-game player 1 + 2 has been internally won. If yes, the process proceeds to step S504. If not, the RT3 push order flag setting process is terminated. In step S504, stop data distribution lottery is performed using random numbers and the like, and then the process proceeds to step S505. As described above, in the stop data sorting lottery of step 504, one reel stop data is selected from the plurality of types (three types in this example) of reel stop data TD1 to TD3 shown in FIG. The reel stop data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308. In step S505, in order to perform a push order effect (promotion navigation) suggesting the correct operation order, the correct push order flag is set to ON, and then the RT3 push order flag setting process is terminated.

<RT4 push order flag setting process>
Next, the RT4 push order flag setting process (step S404) in the push order flag setting process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the flow of the RT4 push order flag setting process.

  In step S601, it is determined whether the AT flag is on or off. If it is off (in the normal mode), the process proceeds to step S608. If it is on (in the AT mode), the process proceeds to step S602. . In step S602, it is determined whether or not the push order small combination has been won. If applicable, the process proceeds to step S607, and if not, the process proceeds to step S603.

  In step S603, it is determined whether or not the re-game player 2 + 3 has been internally won. If yes, the process proceeds to step S604. If not, the RT4 push order flag setting process is terminated. In step S604, stop data sorting lottery is performed using a random number or the like, and then the process proceeds to step S605. As described above, in the stop data sorting lottery of step 604, one reel stop data is selected from the plurality of types (three types in this example) of reel stop data TD4 to TD6 shown in FIG. The reel stop data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308.

  In step S605, it is determined whether the AT set addition CZ flag is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S607, and if it is off, the process proceeds to step S606. In step S606, the RT4 push order flag is set after the wrong answer push order flag is set to ON in order to perform a push order effect (promotion avoidance navigation that avoids the symbol combination of the re-gamer 3) that suggests the incorrect answer operation order. The setting process is ended, and in step S607, the correct answer push order flag is set to ON and the RT4 key is pressed in order to perform the push order effect (promotion navigation that aligns the symbol combinations of the re-gamer 3). The order flag setting process ends.

  In step S608, it is determined whether or not the re-game player 2 + 3 has been internally won. If yes, the process proceeds to step S609. If not, the RT4 push order flag setting process is terminated. In step S609, the same stop data sorting lottery as in step S604 is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S610. In step S610, the RT4 push order flag is set after the wrong answer push order flag is set to ON in order to perform a push order effect (promotion avoidance navigation that avoids the symbol combination of the re-gamer 3) that suggests the incorrect answer operation order. The process ends.

  In this embodiment, in order to more strictly prevent an unintended promotion due to a push order mistake or the like, a configuration that performs promotion avoidance navigation even in the AT mode is adopted. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the transition is performed. When the configuration that can avoid the promotion is adopted earlier, the configuration may be such that the promotion navigation is not performed in this processing (the other push order flag setting processing is the same).

<RT5 push order flag setting process>
Next, the RT5 push order flag setting process (step S406) in the push order flag setting process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the flow of the RT5 push order flag setting process.

  In step S701, it is determined whether the AT flag is on or off. If it is off (in the normal mode), the process proceeds to step S708. If it is on (in the AT mode), the process proceeds to step S702. . In step S702, it is determined whether or not a winning combination is selected. If yes, the process proceeds to step S707, and if not, the process proceeds to step S703.

  In step S703, it is determined whether or not the re-game player 2 + 4 has been internally won. If applicable, the process proceeds to step S704, and if not, the RT5 push order flag setting process is terminated. In step S704, stop data sorting lottery is performed using random numbers and the like, and then the process proceeds to step S705. As described above, in the stop data sorting lottery of step 704, one reel stop data is selected from the plurality of types (three types in this example) of reel stop data TD7 to TD9 shown in FIG. The reel stop data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308.

  In step S705, it is determined whether the AT set addition CZ flag is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S707. If it is off, the process proceeds to step S706. In step S706, in order to perform a push order effect that suggests the incorrect answer operation order (seven avoidance navigation to avoid the symbol combination of the re-gamer 4), the RT5 push order is set after turning on the incorrect answer push order flag. The flag setting process is ended, and in step S707, a push order effect that suggests the correct operation order (7-target navigation that aligns the symbol combinations of the re-playing game 4). For example, a 7-target navigation image shown in FIG. In order to perform (push order production), after setting the correct answer push order flag to ON, the RT5 push order flag setting process is terminated.

  In step S708, it is determined whether or not the re-game player 2 + 4 has been internally won. If yes, the process proceeds to step S709. If not, the RT5 push order flag setting process is terminated. In step S709, the same stop data sorting lottery as in step S704 is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S710. In step S710, the RT5 push order is set after the wrong answer push order flag is set to ON in order to perform the push order effect (seven avoidance navigation to avoid the symbol combination of the re-game player 4) indicating the incorrect answer operation order. The flag setting process is terminated.

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

  In step S801, it is determined whether the AT flag is on or off. If it is off (in the normal mode), the process proceeds to step S808. If it is on (in the AT mode), the process proceeds to step S802. . In step S802, it is determined whether or not the push order small combination has been won. If applicable, the process proceeds to step S807, and if not, the process proceeds to step S803.

  In step S803, it is determined whether or not the re-game player 2 + 4 has been internally won. If yes, the process proceeds to step S804. If not, the RT6 push order flag setting process is terminated. In step S804, stop data sorting lottery is performed using random numbers and the like, and then the process proceeds to step S805. As described above, in the stop data sorting lottery in step 804, one reel stop data is selected from the plurality of types (three types in this example) of reel stop data TD7 to TD9 shown in FIG. The reel stop data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308.

  In step S805, it is determined whether the AT set addition CZ flag is on or off. If it is on, the RT6 push order flag setting process is terminated, and if it is off, the process proceeds to step S806. In step S806, in order to perform a push order effect that suggests an incorrect answer operation order (seven avoidance navigation that avoids the combination of symbols of the replaying player 4), the RT6 push order is set after the incorrect answer push order flag is set to ON. The flag setting process is ended, and in step S807, the correct answer pressing order flag is set to ON, and then the RT6 pressing order flag setting process is ended.

  In step S808, it is determined whether or not the re-game player 2 + 4 has been internally won. If yes, the process proceeds to step S809. If not, the RT6 push order flag setting process is terminated. In step S809, the same stop data sorting lottery as in step S804 is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S810. In step S810, in order to perform a push order effect that suggests the incorrect answer operation order (seven avoidance navigation to avoid the symbol combination of the re-game player 4), the RT6 push order is set after the incorrect answer push order flag is set to ON. The flag setting process is terminated.

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

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

  In this instruction monitor display control, 7-segment data is selected based on the internal winning combination and stop data corresponding to the correct answer push order flag or incorrect answer push order flag set to ON, and the selected 7-segment data is displayed as the number of payouts. Is set as lighting pattern data of the instrument 127 (instruction monitor). For example, when the correct answer push order flag corresponding to the re-game player 1 + 2 is set to ON and stop data TD1 is stored as stop data, it is suggested that the first stop operation in the correct operation order is left. The 7-segment data SEG1 is set as lighting pattern data of the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor). As a result, the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in the display mode indicated by SEG1 in FIG. Even when stop data TD2 or TD3 is stored as stop data, the number-of-payout display device 127 (instruction monitor) is displayed according to the display control of the push order navigation at the time of internal winning of the re-gamer 1 + 2 described with reference to FIG. ) Lighting pattern data is set.

  In addition, when the correct answer push order flag corresponding to the re-game player 2 + 3 is set to ON and the stop data TD5 is stored as stop data, it is suggested that the first stop operation in the correct answer operation order is in progress. The 7-segment data SEG2 is set as the lighting pattern data of the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor). As a result, the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor) is lit in the display mode indicated by SEG2 in FIG. On the other hand, when the incorrect answer pressing order flag corresponding to the re-game player 2 + 3 is set to ON and stop data TD5 is stored as stop data, the first stop operation in the incorrect answer operation order is left or right. The 7-segment data SEG1 or SEG3 suggesting this is set as the lighting pattern data of the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor). As a result, the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in a display mode indicated by SEG1 or SEG3 in FIG. Even when stop data TD4 or TD6 is stored as stop data, the number-of-payout indicator 127 (instruction monitor ) Lighting pattern data is set.

  Further, when the correct answer push order flag corresponding to the re-game player 2 + 4 is set to ON and the stop data TD9 is stored as stop data, it is suggested that the first stop operation in the correct answer operation order is right. The 7-segment data SEG3 is set as lighting pattern data of the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor). As a result, the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in the display mode indicated by SEG3 in FIG. On the other hand, when the incorrect answer pressing order flag corresponding to the re-game player 2 + 4 is set to ON and stop data TD9 is stored as stop data, the first stop operation in the incorrect answer operation order is left or middle. The 7-segment data SEG1 or SEG2 suggesting this is set as the lighting pattern data of the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor). As a result, the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in a display mode indicated by SEG1 or SEG2 in FIG. Even when stop data TD7 or TD8 is stored as stop data, the number-of-payout display 127 (instruction monitor) is displayed in accordance with the display control of the push order navigation at the time of internal winning of the re-gamer 2 + 4 described with reference to FIG. ) Lighting pattern data is set.

  In addition, when the correct answer push order flag corresponding to the small role 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR) is set to ON, the 7-segment data SEG4 indicating that the correct answer operation order is left middle right is displayed as the payout number display 127 ( Set as lighting pattern data for the instruction monitor. As a result, the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in the display mode indicated by SEG4 in FIG. For other push order small combinations, the lighting pattern data of the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor) is set in accordance with the display control of the push order navigation at the time of internal selection of the push order small combination described with reference to FIG. .

  Returning to FIG. 22, in step S903 of the instruction monitor display process, the instruction monitor display process ends after the push order flag is set to OFF.

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

  In step S1001, it is determined whether the correct answer push order flag is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S1002, and if it is off, the process proceeds to step S1003. In step S1002, after making a transmission request for transmitting an internal lottery command including correct answer pressing order information to the first sub-control unit 400, the internal lottery command transmission request processing is terminated.

  The internal lottery command includes internal winning information (internal winning combination information), AT-related information (AT initial lottery and AT set addition CZ lottery results, etc.), push order information (correct answer push order or incorrect answer push order) In step S1002, the display by the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor) may not be performed, and the internal winning combination is a push order small combination. Makes an internal lottery request by sending an internal lottery command that includes internal winning information (information indicating that it is simply a push order small combination, not internal winning combination information). Even if the command is obtained illegally, the push order cannot be grasped.

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

  Therefore, at the time of the third stop, if the symbol stop mode and the information transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 can be acquired, the type of push order small combination can be specified. It becomes possible to illegally acquire a single combination. The same can be said for the case where information on the correct answer push sequence is transmitted for each stop operation. For the above reason, in the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment, when the internal winning combination is a push order small combination, the internal lottery command including the internal winning information that cannot identify the internal winning combination is the first sub-control. By transmitting to the unit 400, even if the internal lottery command is illegally acquired, the type of push order small combination cannot be specified.

  When the internal winning combination is a push order replay, the push order cannot be grasped from the internal winning combination. Therefore, in step S1002, a request to send an internal lottery command including internal winning information indicating the internal winning combination is made. .

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

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

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

  In step S1102, it is determined whether or not the acquired game time monitoring timer value has exceeded 4.1 seconds. If the game time monitoring timer value has exceeded 4.1 seconds or more, the current game may be started, and the process proceeds to step S1103. On the other hand, when the game time monitoring timer value has not elapsed 4.1 seconds, the process returns to step S1101 to repeat the process. While the processing is repeated, the timer value of the gaming time monitoring timer is decremented for each timer interrupt of the main control unit 300, and when the gaming time monitoring timer becomes 0, the process proceeds to step S1103.

  In step S1103, the game time monitoring timer value is reset. Specifically, a timer value corresponding to 4.1 seconds is stored in a specific area of the RAM 308. In the present embodiment, the time when the game time monitoring timer value is set is the start timing of one game. The end timing of one game is when the next game time monitoring timer value is set. That is, one game is from setting the game time monitoring timer value to setting the next game time monitoring timer value. Further, since the game time monitoring timer value is set every time the reels 110 to 112 start to rotate, the time from when the reels 110 to 112 start rotating until the next reel 110 to 112 starts rotating. It can also be a single game. Note that the end timing of one game may be when the game time monitoring timer value becomes 0 and the game state control process ends. In addition, the start timing of one game is set when the valid start lever is accepted, and the end timing of one game is set when the valid bet button operation can be accepted. The period up to the time of accepting may be a preparation period for the next game start.

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

  In step S1106, the reel control status is set to “acceleration state (acceleration control in progress)”. The reel control status is information relating to the reel control state that is independently stored for each of the reels 110 to 112 in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. ) ”,“ Acceleration state (during acceleration control) ”,“ First constant speed state (during first constant speed control) ”,“ Second constant speed state (during second constant speed control) ”,“ Retraction state (retraction) "Controlled)" and "Brake state (during brake control)" are stored. In step S1106, the acceleration start request flag is turned ON. The acceleration start request flag is flag information stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, and is referred to in an acceleration control process described later.

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

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

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

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

  In step S1305, a reel stop preparation process is performed. In this reel stop preparation process, preparation of stop data for the rotating reel is performed. In step S1306, instruction monitor non-display processing is performed. In the instruction monitor non-display process, a process of erasing the display on the payout number display device 127 (instruction monitor) is performed with the third stop operation as a trigger.

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

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

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

  In step S1401, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is a re-game combination 2 + 4. If applicable, the process proceeds to step S1402, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1405. In step S1402, it is determined whether the AT set addition CZ flag is on or off. If applicable, the process proceeds to step S1403. If not, the process proceeds to step S1405. In step S1403, it is determined whether or not the RT gaming state is RT6. If applicable, the process proceeds to step S1404, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1405. That is, in steps S1401 to S1403, if the internal winning combination is the re-game combination 2 + 4, the AT set addition CZ flag is ON, and the RT gaming state is RT6, the process proceeds to step S1404. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1405. move on.

  In step S1404, a stop button operation command transmission request process is terminated after a stop button operation command transmission request including push order correct / incorrect information is made. In step S1405, a stop button operation command transmission request not including push order correct / incorrect information is performed. The stop button operation command transmission request process is terminated. The command requested to be transmitted is transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process of the main control unit timer interrupt process described later.

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

  The upper byte of the second command data is a fixed value (for example, 16H) indicating the command code, and the lower 6 bits b0 to b5 of the lower byte are the reel rotation control process in the latest main controller timer interrupt process. Is the symbol position information indicating the symbol position when the reel is stopped, and the other 2 bits b6 to b7 of the lower byte are the numbers of the reels (rotating cylinders) in the correct push order (correct reel number). ). Here, the information indicating the correct reel number is a numerical value (for example, 01B) indicating the left reel 110 in the case of the left reel 110, and a numerical value (for example, indicating the middle reel 111 in the case of the middle reel 111). 10B), in the case of the right reel 112, it is a numerical value (for example, 11B) indicating the right reel 112, and when it does not include correct push order information, it is a numerical value indicating that (for example, 00B). .

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

  Note that the information and transmission timing transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 are not limited to the above-described example. For example, (1) information indicating the correct operation sequence ((1- 1) Information of different modes (for example, all information of the first to third stop operations in the correct answer operation order at the start lever reception (eg, left middle right) → the first correct answer operation order after the first stop operation 1 stop operation information (example: left) → second stop operation information (example: middle) in the correct operation sequence after the second stop operation, (1-2) information in the same mode (for example, start lever reception) In the correct operation sequence, all information of the first to third stop operations (example: left middle right) → all information of the first to third stop operations after the second stop operation (example: left middle right)) (2) Information indicating correctness (correct answer, incorrect answer) of stop operation ((2-1) Correct answer operation order is 3 In this case, correctness information for the first stop operation after the first stop operation or after the second stop operation. (2-2) If the correct operation sequence is 6 choices, the first stop operation after the first stop operation Correct / incorrect information for only the first stop operation after the second stop operation, correct / incorrect information for the first stop operation and the second stop operation only after the second stop operation, and the like.

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

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

  In step S1503, AT state update processing is performed. In this AT state update process, the number of AT games is updated, specifically, the AT flag is set to OFF when the AT remaining game number is 0, and the AT flag is turned ON again when the AT set number remains. To set 50 as the initial value of the number of AT remaining games. Further, in the AT state update process, when the number of AT sets is updated, specifically, when the AT set addition CZ flag is ON and the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game player 4 is displayed in RT5, the AT set is updated. If the AT combination is added and the CZ flag is turned on and the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game player 4 is displayed in RT6, the AT set number is added and then the number of AT sets is subtracted. Further, in the AT state update process, the AT set extra CZ is updated, specifically, the AT set extra CZ flag is set to OFF when the fall to RT4, and the AT set extra CZ stock number is 1 or more at the same fall. In this case, after the number of stocks is subtracted, the AT set addition CZ flag is turned on again.

  In step S1504, a game state command transmission request is made. The gaming state command according to this example includes an RT state based on the RT state update process in step S1501, a mode state (AT mode) based on the mode update process in step S1502, and the number of AT sets and AT based on the AT state update process in step S1503. This is a continuous command including information such as the number of remaining games.

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

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

  In step S1601, timer interrupt start processing is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving each register value of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed. In step S1602, the count value of WDT 314 exceeds the initial setting value (32.8 ms in the present embodiment), and WDT 314 is periodically updated (so as not to detect a processing abnormality) so that a WDT interrupt does not occur. In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every about 2 ms, which is the period of the main control unit timer interrupt.

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

  In step S1606, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area in step S1603 are read, and the presence or absence of errors relating to medal insertion abnormality and medal payout abnormality is monitored. (Not shown) Error processing is executed. Further, the medal selector 170 (medal blocker in which a solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 339, and various 7-segment (SEG) indicators are set according to the current gaming state. In step S1607, reel rotation control processing is performed. Although details will be described later, in this reel rotation control process, rotation control of the reels 110 to 112 is performed based on the rotation control data.

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

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

  In step S1611, various processes for ending the timer interrupt end process are performed. In this timer interrupt termination process, the value of each register temporarily saved in step S1601 is set in each original register. Then, the process returns to the main control unit main process. On the other hand, in step S1612, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is saved as a return data in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and power-off processing such as initialization of input / output ports is performed. After that, the process returns to the main process of the main control unit.

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

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

  Here, the second constant speed control process is a process mainly for tracking the symbol position of the reel. In order for the main control unit 300 to grasp the symbol position of the reel, two counters, a symbol number counter and a symbol interval counter, are used. Is used to monitor the symbol position. The symbol number counter is a counter for storing and holding symbols located in the middle stage of the symbol display window 113, which is the reference position, and the symbol interval counter is the number of drive pulses per symbol (number of times of timer interrupt processing). It is. The main control unit 300 sets the number of driving pulses per symbol in the symbol interval counter, and subtracts each time the driving pulse is output, so that the symbol number counter is updated by 1 when the symbol interval counter value becomes zero. I have to.

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

  As a result of the determination in step S1701, if the operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is valid, the process proceeds to step S1702, and after performing the stop button reception process, the process proceeds to step S1703, and the operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is invalid. If there is, the process proceeds to step S1703 without performing stop button reception processing.

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

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

  After the pull-in counter setting process, the reel control status of the reel that has been stopped is updated to “stop”. Also, the stop button LED information is updated according to the stoppable reel information. This is to update the LED information of the stop button according to whether or not each reel can be stopped. As an example, blue is set for a stopable reel and the stop button is pressed. , Red is set.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In step S2002, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S2003. In step S2003, 0 is substituted into the timer variable. In step S2004, command processing is performed. Although details will be described later, in this command processing, processing corresponding to each command received from the main control unit 300 is performed.

  In step S2005, an effect control process is performed. In this effect control process, preparation (reservation) of effects is performed according to the effect reservation information in the effect reservation area provided in the RAM 408. This preparation includes, for example, performing a process such as reading the effect data from the ROM 406 and performing an effect data update process when the effect data needs to be updated.

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

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

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300. In step S2101 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the main control unit 300 is stored in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 as an unprocessed command.

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

  In step S2201, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S2002 in the first sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 30A, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Accordingly, in step S2002, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S2202, a command is transmitted to the second sub control unit 500 set in step S2008, an effect random number value is updated, and the like.

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

  In step S2101, it is determined whether or not the internal lottery command received from the main control unit 300 has been received (whether or not the internal lottery command is stored in the command storage area). After executing the lottery command reception process (details will be described later), the process ends. If not, the process proceeds to step S2103. In step S2103, it is determined whether or not the first stop button operation command received from the main control unit 300 has been received (whether or not the first stop button operation command is stored in the command storage area). After proceeding to step S2104 and executing a first stop button operation command reception process (details will be described later), the process is terminated. If not, the process proceeds to step S2105.

  In step S2105, it is determined whether or not the second stop button operation command received from the main control unit 300 has been received (whether or not the second stop button operation command is stored in the command storage area). After proceeding to step S2106 and executing a second stop button operation command reception process (details will be described later), the process is terminated. If not, the process proceeds to step S2107. In step S2107, whether or not a reel stop command (any one of the first to third reel stop commands) received from the main control unit 300 has been received (reel stop commands (first to third reel stop commands) are stored in the command storage area. After determining whether or not any one is stored) and, if applicable, proceeding to step S2108 and executing processing corresponding to each reel stop command (any one of the first to third reel stop commands). The process ends, and if not applicable, the process proceeds to step S2109. In step S2109, the command processing is terminated after executing other command reception processing.

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

  In step S2201, internal lottery command command data (internal winning information (internal winning combination information), AT-related information (AT initial lottery or AT set extra lottery result, etc.), push order information (correct push order or Various information is updated based on the information indicating the order of incorrect answering))). In step S2202, the push order information updated in step S2201 is referenced to determine whether there is correct push order information or incorrect push order information. If not, the process proceeds to step S2209. The process proceeds to S2203.

  In step S2203, the internal winning information updated in step S2201 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not any re-game player has been internally won. After proceeding to step S2208 and reserving the first to third stop push order effects based on the push order information, the process proceeds to step S2209. On the other hand, if any of the re-game players is won internally, the process proceeds to step S2204. In step S2204, the AT related information updated in step S2201 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the AT mode is in effect. If not, the process proceeds to step S2207, and the first stop only push order based on the push order information. After reserving an effect (for example, a push order effect including a push order navigation image of “1 stop” shown in FIG. 45C), the process proceeds to step S2209. On the other hand, if it is in the AT mode, the process proceeds to step S2206.

  In step S2205, after the second stop operation and the third stop operation are pressed in the second stop / third stop sorting lottery using a random number or the like, the next step S2206 is based on the lottery result in step S2205. After reserving the first to third stop push order effects (for example, the push order effects shown in FIGS. 44 (a) to (c)), the process proceeds to step S2209. In step S2209, after the other processing at the time of internal lottery command reception is executed, the internal lottery command reception processing is terminated. Note that in other processing in step S2209, an effect lottery according to the game state and mode state, an effect reservation process based on the lottery result, and the like are performed.

  Although details will be described later, in the reservation of the effect in step S2209, for example, when the re-game player 2 + 4 is internally elected during RT5 and the AT set addition CZ flag is on, seven navigations (for example, FIG. 45). Using (a), a reservation is made for performing 7-target navigation described later. In addition, when the re-game player 2 + 4 is internally won during RT6 and the AT set addition CZ flag is on, the 7-target navigation (push order challenge effect described later using FIG. 45 (b)) Make a reservation to do)).

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

  In step S2301, various information is updated based on the command data of the first stop button operation command (actual operation reel number, stop button reception symbol position, stop symbol position, correct reel number). For example, processing for storing the stop button reception position and stop symbol position in the storage area of the RAM 408 in association with the actual operation reel number, processing for storing the correct reel number in the storage area of the RAM 408, and the like are performed. In the next step S2302, a push order correct / incorrect determination process is performed. In this push order correct / incorrect determination process, whether or not the first stop operation is in the correct push order by comparing the actual operation reel number at the time of the first stop operation and the correct reel number of the first stop operation updated in step S2301. In addition, the history of the first stop operation result (left, middle, or right) and the push order determination result (correct answer or incorrect answer) is stored in the RAM 408 in time series.

  In steps S2303 to S2305, it is determined whether or not the blue 7 symbol is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 in the AT set addition CZ state, and the first stop operation is correct, and if applicable, the process proceeds to step S2306. If not, the process proceeds to step S2308. In step S2306, stop sound effect type lottery is performed. In the lottery type lottery of this example, for example, a process of selecting one stop sound by lottery from a normal stop sound and a plurality of types of special stop sounds is performed. In the next step S2307, a stop sound effect is reserved according to the type lottery in step S2306 as an effect corresponding to the first stop operation, and the process proceeds to step S2309. On the other hand, in step S2308, a normal stop sound effect is reserved as an effect corresponding to the first stop operation, and the process proceeds to step S2309. In step S2309, after the other process at the time of accepting the stop button operation command is executed, the process at the time of accepting the first stop button operation command is ended.

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

<Second stop button operation command reception process>
Next, the second stop button operation command reception process (step S2106) in the command process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing when a second stop button operation command is received.

  In step S2401, various information is updated based on the command data of the second stop button operation command (actual operation reel number, stop button reception symbol position, stop symbol position, correct reel number). For example, processing for storing the stop button reception position and stop symbol position in the storage area of the RAM 408 in association with the actual operation reel number, processing for storing the correct reel number in the storage area of the RAM 408, and the like are performed. In the next step S2402, a push order correct / incorrect determination process is performed. In this push order correct / incorrect determination process, whether or not the second stop operation is in the correct push order by comparing the actual operation reel number at the time of the second stop operation and the correct reel number of the second stop operation updated in step S2401. And a process of storing the history of the result of the second stop operation (left, middle, or right) and the result of the push order determination (correct answer or incorrect answer) in the RAM 408 in time series. In step S2403, it is determined whether or not the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the winning line L1 as a template (for example, see FIG. 39B). If yes, the process proceeds to step S2404; Proceed to

  In steps S2404 to S2405, it is determined whether or not the first stop operation and the second stop operation are correct in the AT set addition CZ state. If applicable, the process proceeds to step S2406, and if not, the process proceeds to step S2408. move on. In this example, in the case of a blue 7 symbol tempering just after shifting to the AT set CZ state, or when the pressing order is accidentally correct, the process proceeds to step S2408 (normal tempering effect). . Note that it may be configured to simply determine whether or not there is a blue 7 symbol temper and, if applicable, to proceed to the processing of step S2406 (temporary sound effect type lottery).

  In step S2406, a lottery type lottery is performed. In the lottery type lottery of this example, for example, a process of selecting one stop sound by lottery from a normal tempering sound and a plurality of types of special tempering sounds is performed. It should be noted that, in this type drawing of lottery effect, if a special stop sound is selected in the type of lottery of stop sound production (step S2306) in the first stop button operation command reception process, the special template sound is likely to be selected. It is configured. In the next step S2407, as an effect corresponding to the second stop operation, a tempered effect is reserved according to the type lottery in step S2406, and the process proceeds to step S2409. On the other hand, in step S2408, a reservation for a normal template effect is made as an effect corresponding to the second stop operation, and the process proceeds to step S2409. In step S2409, after the other processing at the time of accepting the stop button operation command is executed, the processing at the time of accepting the second stop button operation command is ended.

  In the other processing of step S2409, for example, in the AT mode, the display of the push order navigation is updated based on the reception of the second stop button operation command (for example, “2 stop shown in FIG. 44B). The processing of the effect for performing the update from the push order effect including the push order navigation image of “3 stops” to the push order effect including the push order navigation image of “3 stops” shown in FIG. . Although illustration is omitted, the first sub-control unit 400, when receiving the third stop button operation command in the AT mode, produces an effect for ending the push order navigation (for example, FIG. 44 (c)). The push order effect including the “3 stop” push order navigation image shown is deleted, and the process of the effect of displaying the image in the AT mode in FIG.

  In this example, each time the stop operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is performed (in this example, every time the first stop operation and the second stop operation are performed), the push operation is determined to be correct. Each production (in this example, a stop sound production and a tempering production) is configured to be performed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, during the second stop operation, the first stop operation and the second stop operation are performed. It may be configured to determine whether or not the pressing order is correct at the same time. With such a configuration, it is possible to simplify the processing required to determine whether or not the pressing order is correct, and to reduce the control burden.

  In addition, the effect regarding whether the stop operation is correct is not limited to the above-described example. For example, after the first stop operation, an effect suggesting whether the first stop operation is correct or incorrect (for example, OK, GOOD). , Correct answer, display of letters and symbols such as ○, sound output of sound effects, switching of background color and background image) and expectation effect whether or not the second stop mode to which a privilege is given is displayed ( Output of multiple types of sounds according to the degree of expectation, display of multiple types of colors and patterns according to the degree of expectation, and display of special characters) If the expectation is low, the normal tempering sound is output, the expectation is high, and the special tempering sound is output), and after the third stop operation, the 7-order pressing order history image shown in FIG. 46B is displayed. May be.

<Processing of Second Sub-Control Unit 500>
Next, the processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 35A is a flowchart of the main process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500, and FIG. 35B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. . FIG. 6C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500, and FIG. 4D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in step S2501 of the second sub-control unit main process, various initial settings are performed. When power is turned on, initialization processing is first executed in step S2501. In this initialization process, input / output port initialization, storage area initialization in the RAM 508, and the like are performed. In step S2502, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S2503. In step S2503, 0 is substituted for the timer variable.

  In step S2504, command processing is performed. In the command processing, the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command is received from the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. In step S2505, an effect control process is performed. For example, if there is a new command in step S2504, processing corresponding to this command is performed. This process includes, for example, performing a process such as reading effect data from the ROM 506 and performing an effect data update process when the effect data needs to be updated.

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

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

  Next, the second sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 will be described. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms), and the timer interrupt process is predetermined by using the timer interrupt as a trigger. Execute in the cycle.

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

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

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

  In step S2802, it is determined whether or not a transfer end interrupt signal from VDP 516 is input. If a transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S2803; otherwise, a transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for it. In step S2803, parameters are set based on the production scenario configuration table and attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 518 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S2801, the CPU 504 includes information on the image data constituting the display image (the coordinate axis and image size of the VRAM 518). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 516. The VDP 516 performs parameter setting according to the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S2804, a drawing instruction is performed. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 516 to start drawing an image. The VDP 516 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 504. In step S2805, it is determined whether a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 based on the end of image drawing is input. If a generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S2806; Wait for input. In step S2806, a scene display counter which is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many scene images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

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

<Reel stop control / In the case of internal winning for "Small 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR) >>
As described above, in the case of internal winning of “Position 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR)” which is a push order small combination, which symbol combination depends on the combination of the operation sequence and operation timing of the stop operation by the stop buttons 137 to 139. Whether or not to be displayed on the winning line L1 is determined.

<When the operation order is left middle right or left / right middle>
FIG. 36 shows the internal winning of “small combination 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR)” which is a push order small combination, a predetermined correct operation sequence (LCR), or a predetermined incorrect operation sequence (in this example, LRC). 5 is a diagram showing an example of reel stop control in a time series when a stop operation is performed according to FIG.

<When the operation sequence is left middle right or right / left middle / first stop = left>
For example, in accordance with a predetermined correct operation sequence (LCR) or a predetermined incorrect operation sequence (LRC), the first stop operation with the first stop reel as the left reel 110 (stop operation with the left stop button 137). In the case of the symbol combination corresponding to the small reel 3 (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol), the symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 (replay symbol), or the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 4 The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 (one of the two symbol combinations Fr4 to 5 shown in FIG. 5) (replay symbol) or the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 5 (Fr6 to Fr6 shown in FIG. 5) Left reel 1 so that the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 of the two types of symbol combinations (7) is displayed on the winning line L1. 0 of stop control is performed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 among the symbol combinations corresponding to the small role 3 is a replay symbol, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 4 (Fr4 to Fr4 to FIG. The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 in any of the two symbol combinations (5) is a replay symbol, and the symbol combinations corresponding to the small role 5 (Fr6-7 of Fr6-7 shown in FIG. 5). The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 in any of the symbol combinations) is the blue 7 symbol or the red 7 symbol. Of these three types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is the largest for replay symbols, and therefore the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is the largest. When stop control that increases (hereinafter referred to as “symbol combination priority stop control”) is performed, stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the replay symbol is displayed on the winning line L1.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the number of payouts corresponding to the small combination 3 is nine, whereas the number of payouts corresponding to the small combination 4 and the small combination 5 is one. Since the number of payouts is the largest when the replay symbol is stopped and displayed on the left reel 110, stop control (hereinafter referred to as “payout number priority stop control”) is performed so that the number of payouts is the largest. In such a case, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the replay symbol is displayed on the winning line L1.

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

<When the operation order is left middle right / first stop = left → second stop = middle>
Next, when a second stop operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed in which the second stop reel is the middle reel 111 in accordance with a predetermined correct operation sequence (LCR), Since the first stop operation and the second stop operation have been performed, the payout number priority stop control is given priority over the symbol combination priority stop control, and as shown in FIG. Stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that a symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 of the combination (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1.

<When the operation order is left middle right / first stop = left → second stop = middle → third stop = right>
Subsequently, when a third stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed in which the third stop reel is the right reel 112 in accordance with a predetermined correct operation sequence (LCR), FIG. 36 (c). As shown, the right reel so that the symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 of the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 3 (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1. 112 stop control is performed.

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

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

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 in the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 3 is a replay symbol, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 4 (Fr4 to Fr4 in FIG. 5). The symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 in any one of the two types of symbol combinations (5) is a bell symbol. Of these two types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is the largest for the bell symbol. Therefore, when the symbol combination priority stop control described above is performed, The stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so that the symbol is displayed on the winning line L1.

  Here, since the second stop operation has been performed in the order of incorrect answering, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without the payout number priority stop control, and the bell symbol is displayed on the winning line L1. The stop control of the reel 112 is performed.

<When the operation sequence is right / left / first stop = left → second stop = right → third stop = middle>
Subsequently, when a third stop operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed in which the third stop reel is the middle reel 111 according to a predetermined incorrect answer operation sequence (LRC), FIG. ), The symbol (watermelon symbol / blank 1 symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the symbol combination (replay symbol-watermelon symbol / blank 1 symbol-bell symbol) corresponding to the small role 4 is the winning line L1. Stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed as displayed above. In this example, since the watermelon symbol is within the pull-in range, stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the watermelon symbol is displayed on the winning line L1.

  As described above, when a stop operation is performed according to the incorrect operation sequence (LRC) shown in FIG. 36 (a) → FIG. (D) → FIG. The combination (replay symbol-watermelon symbol / blank 1 symbol-bell symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and one medal is paid out by medal payout processing.

<When the operation order is right middle left or right right middle>
FIG. 37 shows an internal winning combination of “small role 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR)” which is a push order, and an operation order other than a predetermined correct answer operation order (LCR) and incorrect answer operation order (in this example, LRC). In the example, it is the figure which showed an example of the reel stop control in time series when stop operation is performed by RCL or RLC.

<When the operation sequence is right middle left or right right middle / first stop = right>
For example, the first stop reel is the first reel 111 in an operation order other than a predetermined correct answer operation order (LCR) and incorrect answer operation order (LRC) (right middle left or right left middle in this example). When a stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed, a symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 in the symbol combination (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol) corresponding to the small role 3 Or a symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 (bell symbol) of the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 4 (one of the two types of symbol combinations Fr4 and 5 shown in FIG. 5) or The right symbol so that the symbol (watermelon symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 of the corresponding symbol combinations (one of the two symbol combinations Fr6 and Fr7 shown in FIG. 5) is displayed on the winning line L1. Stop control of the Le 112 is performed.

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

  Here, since the first stop operation has been performed in the order of incorrect pressing, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without the payout number priority stop control, and the bell symbol or the watermelon symbol (in this example, the watermelon symbol) Stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so as to be displayed on the winning line L1.

<When the operation order is right middle left / first stop = right → second stop = middle>
Next, when a second stop operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed in which the second stop reel is the middle reel 111, as shown in FIG. Combination (here, “watermelon design” is stopped on the winning line L1 of the right reel 112, so “blue 7 design-cherry design-watermelon design” or “red 7 design-cherry design-watermelon design”) Among them, stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the symbol (cherry symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 is displayed on the pay line L1.

<When the operation sequence is right middle left / first stop = right → second stop = middle → third stop = left>
Subsequently, when a third stop operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed in which the third stop reel is the left reel 110, as shown in FIG. The combination (here, “watermelon design” is stopped on the winning line L1 of the right reel 112 and “cherry symbol” is stopped on the winning line L1 of the middle reel 111. -When the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 in the "watermelon symbol" or "red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol") is within the pull-in range, the symbol ( In this example, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that red 7 symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1.

  On the other hand, if the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 is not within the pull-in range, as shown in FIG. , “Replay symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol”) is displayed on the winning line L1, and the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed.

  As described above, when a stop operation is performed in the operation order and operation timing shown in FIG. 37 (a) → FIG. (B) → (c), the symbol combination corresponding to the small part 5 ( Red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and one medal is paid out by medal payout processing. On the other hand, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 37 (a) → FIG. (B) → FIG. (D), the symbol combination corresponding to the spilled portion (replay symbol − (Cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and no medal is paid out by the medal payout process.

<When the operation order is middle left / right / first stop = right → second stop = left>
Next, after the first stop operation in which the first stop reel shown in FIG. 37A is the right reel 112, the second stop operation in which the second stop reel is the left reel 110 (stop operation by the left stop button 137). 37, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 5 (here, the “watermelon symbol” is stopped on the winning line L1 of the right reel 112, as shown in FIG. 37 (e). The symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 of “blue 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol” or “red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol” is within the pull-in range. In some cases, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the symbol (in this example, red symbol 7) is displayed on the winning line L1.

  On the other hand, when the symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) is not within the pull-in range, as shown in FIG. , "Replay symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol") corresponding to the left reel 110 is displayed on the winning line L1, and the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed.

<When the operation sequence is right / left / first stop = right → second stop = left → third stop = middle>
Subsequently, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel shown in FIG. 37E is the left reel 110, the third stop operation in which the third stop reel is the middle reel 111 (stop operation by the middle stop button 138). 37, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 5 (here, “watermelon symbol” stops on the winning line L1 of the right reel 112 and the left reel 110 Since the “red 7 symbol” is stopped on the winning line L1, the symbol (cherry symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 110 of the red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1. Thus, the stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed.

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

  As described above, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 37 (a) → FIG. (E) → FIG. (F), the symbol combination ( Red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and one medal is paid out by medal payout processing. On the other hand, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 37 (a) → FIG. (G) → (h), the symbol combination (replay symbol − (Cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and no medal is paid out by the medal payout process.

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

<When the operation order is middle right / left or middle / left / right / first stop = right>
For example, in the operation sequence other than the predetermined correct operation sequence (LCR) and incorrect operation sequence (LRC) (in this example, middle right / left or middle left / right), the first stop uses the first stop reel as the middle reel 111. When the operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed, the symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the symbol combination (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol) corresponding to the small role 3; Alternatively, a symbol (watermelon symbol or one blank symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 of the symbol combinations corresponding to the small role 4 (one of the two symbol combinations Fr4 and 5 shown in FIG. 5), or small Of the symbol combinations corresponding to the hand 5 (one of the two types of symbol combinations Fr6 to Fr7 shown in FIG. 5), the symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 (cherry symbol) is on the winning line L1. Stop control of the reel 111 is performed as indicated.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 among the symbol combinations corresponding to the small role 3 is a bell symbol, and the symbol combinations corresponding to the small role 4 (Fr4 to Fr4 in FIG. 5). The symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 of any of the two types of symbol combinations (5) is a watermelon symbol or one blank symbol, and the symbol combinations corresponding to the small role 5 (Fr6-7 2 shown in FIG. 5). Any of the symbols corresponding to the middle reel 111 in any of the types of symbol combinations) is a cherry symbol. Of these four types of symbols, the cherry symbol symbol has the largest number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. Therefore, when the symbol combination priority stop control described above is performed, Stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the symbol is displayed on the winning line L1.

  Here, since the first stop operation has been performed in the order of incorrect answer pressing, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the payout number priority stop control, and the cherry symbol is displayed on the winning line L1. Stop control of the reel 111 is performed.

<When the operation order is middle right / left / first stop = middle → second stop = right>
Next, when a second stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed in which the second stop reel is the right reel 112, as shown in FIG. Combination (here, “Cherry design” is stopped on the winning line L1 of the middle reel 111, so “Blue 7 design-Cherry design-Watermelon design” or “Red 7 design-Cherry design-Watermelon design”) The stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so that the symbol (watermelon symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 is displayed on the winning line L1.

<When operation order is middle right / left / first stop = middle → second stop = right → third stop = left>
Subsequently, when a third stop operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed in which the third stop reel is the left reel 110, as shown in FIG. The combination (here, “watermelon design” is stopped on the winning line L1 of the right reel 112 and “cherry symbol” is stopped on the winning line L1 of the middle reel 111. -When the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 in the "watermelon symbol" or "red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol") is within the pull-in range, the symbol ( In this example, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that red 7 symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1.

  On the other hand, when the symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) is not within the pull-in range, as shown in FIG. , “Replay symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol”) is displayed on the winning line L1, and the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed.

  As described above, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 38 (a) → FIG. (B) → (c), the symbol combination ( Red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and one medal is paid out by medal payout processing. On the other hand, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 38 (a) → FIG. (B) → FIG. (D), the symbol combination corresponding to the spilled portion (replay symbol − (Cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and no medal is paid out by the medal payout process.

<When the operation order is middle left and right / first stop = middle → second stop = left>
Next, after the first stop operation in which the first stop reel shown in FIG. 38A is used as the middle reel 111, the second stop operation in which the second stop reel is used as the left reel 110 (stop operation using the left stop button 137). 38, when the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 5 (here, the “cherry symbol” is stopped on the winning line L1 of the middle reel 111, as shown in FIG. 38 (e), The symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 of “blue 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol” or “red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol” is within the pull-in range. In some cases, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the symbol (in this example, red symbol 7) is displayed on the pay line L1.

  On the other hand, when the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 is not within the pull-in range, as shown in FIG. 38 (g), the symbol combination (in this example) , "Replay symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol") corresponding to the left reel 110 is displayed on the winning line L1, and the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed.

<When the operation order is middle left and right / first stop = middle → second stop = left → third stop = right>
Subsequently, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel shown in FIG. 38E is the left reel 110, the third stop operation in which the third stop reel is the right reel 112 (stop operation by the right stop button 139). 38, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 5 (here, the “cherry symbol” stops on the winning line L1 of the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110 Since “red 7 symbol” is stopped on the winning line L1, the symbol (watermelon symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 of the red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1. Thus, the stop control of the right reel 112 is performed.

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

  As described above, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 38 (a) → FIG. (E) → FIG. (F), the symbol combination ( Red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and one medal is paid out by medal payout processing. On the other hand, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 38 (a) → FIG. (G) → (h), the symbol combination corresponding to the spilled portion (replay symbol − (Cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and no medal is paid out by the medal payout process.

<Reel stop control / "Re-playing player 2 + 4" when winning internally>
As described above, when the “re-gamer 2 + 4” that is the replay in push order is won internally, which symbol combination is displayed on the winning line L1 according to the operation sequence of the stop operation by the stop buttons 137 to 139 No is determined.

<In case of correct answer sequence>
FIG. 39 is a diagram showing, in time series, an example of reel stop control in a case where “re-gamer 2 + 4”, which is a replay in push order, is internally won and a stop operation is performed according to the correct operation sequence determined in the lottery. is there. Here, a case will be described in which reel stop data TD7 is selected by stop data sorting lottery, and the correct operation sequence is the first stop operation with the first stop reel as the left reel 110. Here, the case where the operation order is left middle right will be described. However, since the first stop operation with the first stop reel as the left reel 110 is performed even when the operation order is left and right, the same applies. Reel stop control can be applied.

<In the case of correct answer operation order / first stop = left>
For example, if a first stop operation (stop operation with the left stop button 137) is performed with the first stop reel as the left reel 110 in accordance with the correct operation sequence (first stop = left) determined by lottery, The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 (one of the four symbol combinations Rep 2 to 5 shown in FIG. 5) corresponding to the game player 2 (replay symbol or blue 7 symbol), or replaying The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 of the symbol combinations corresponding to the role 4 (any of the eight symbol combinations Rep 7 to 14 shown in FIG. 5) (any of the blue symbol 7, the bell symbol, or the replay symbol) Is controlled so that the left reel 110 is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 among the four types of symbol combinations of Rep 2 to 5 corresponding to the replaying player 2 is the replay symbol or the blue 7 symbol, The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 of the eight symbol combinations Rep7 to 14 corresponding to 4 is a blue 7 symbol, a bell symbol, or a replay symbol. Among these three types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is the blue 7 symbols. Therefore, when the above symbol combination priority stop control is performed, The stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the winning line L1.

  Here, since the number of payouts of “re-game player 2 + 4” is 0, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the payout number priority stop control, and the first stop reel is set to the left reel 110. When an operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed, as shown in FIG. 39A, stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the winning line L1. .

  Further, the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the blue 7 symbol is stopped and the first stop operation is correct in the first stop button operation command reception processing described with reference to FIG. Reservation of stop sound is made according to the lottery type of sound production. As a result, one stop sound selected by lottery from the normal stop sound and a plurality of types of special stop sounds is output from the speakers 272 and 277.

<In the case of correct answer operation order / first stop = left → second stop = medium>
Next, when a second stop operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed in which the second stop reel is the middle reel 111, the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying combination 2 (here, the left reel 110) Since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the winning line L1, the symbol (blue 7 symbol or replay) corresponding to the middle reel 111 of any of the two combinations of Rep3 and 4 shown in FIG. Symbol) or a symbol combination corresponding to the replaying player 4 (here, the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the winning line L1 of the left reel 110, so four types of Rep7 to 9, 11 shown in FIG. 5) Control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the symbol (blue 7 symbol or bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 is displayed on the winning line L1.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 of the two types of symbol combinations Rep3 and 4 corresponding to the replaying player 2 is the blue 7 symbol or the replay symbol, Among the four types of symbol combinations Rep 7 to 9 and 11 corresponding to 4, the symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 is a blue 7 symbol or a bell symbol. Among these three types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is the blue 7 symbols. Therefore, when the above symbol combination priority stop control is performed, The stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the winning line L1.

  Here, since the number of payouts of “re-game player 2 + 4” is 0, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the payout number priority stop control, and the second stop reel is set to the second reel. When an operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed and the blue 7 symbol is within the pull-in range, the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the winning line L1, as shown in FIG. 39 (b). Thus, the stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed, and the blue 7 symbol is tempered.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 displays the blue 7 symbol as a template in the second stop button operation command reception process described with reference to FIG. 34, and the first stop operation and the second stop operation are correct. It is determined that there is, and a reservation is made for a tempered production according to the tempered type lottery. Thereby, one stop sound selected by lottery from the normal tempering sound and a plurality of types of special tempering sounds is emitted from the speakers 272 and 277. In addition, when a special stop sound is selected in the stop sound effect type lottery in the first stop button operation command reception process, it is easy to select a special tempering sound.

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

<In the case of correct operation sequence / first stop = left → second stop = middle → third stop = right>
Subsequently, when a third stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed with the third stop reel as the right reel 112, the symbol combination (here, the left reel 110 and Since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the winning line L1 of the middle reel 111, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 (replay symbol) of the one symbol combination of Rep3 shown in FIG. The symbol combination corresponding to the game combination 4 (here, since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the winning line L1 of the left reel 110 and the middle reel 111, two symbol combinations of Rep7 and 8 shown in FIG. The control of the right reel 112 is controlled so that the symbol (blue 7 symbol or watermelon symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 of any one of them is displayed on the winning line L1.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 of the one type of symbol combination of Rep3 corresponding to the replaying player 2 is a replay symbol, Rep7 corresponding to the replaying player 4, The symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 of the two types of symbol combinations of 8 is the blue 7 symbol or the watermelon symbol. Since these three types of symbols have the same number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1, the above-mentioned symbol combination priority stop control is not performed, and the replay symbol, blue 7 symbol, or watermelon Stop control of the right reel 112 is performed such that any of the symbols is displayed on the winning line L1.

  Here, when a third stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) with the third stop reel as the right reel 112 is performed and the blue 7 symbol is within the pull-in range, FIG. 39 (c) As shown, the stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the winning line L1.

  On the other hand, when the blue 7 symbol is not within the pull-in range, as shown in FIG. 39 (d), the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 of the Rep8 symbol combination corresponding to the replaying combination 4 (watermelon symbol). Is controlled to stop the right reel 112 so that is displayed on the winning line L1.

  In addition, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel shown in FIG. 39 (e) is the middle reel 111, a third stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) in which the third stop reel is the right reel 112 is performed. In the case where it is made, as shown in FIG. 39 (f), the symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 of the symbol combinations of Rep11 corresponding to the replaying combination 4 is displayed on the winning line L1. In addition, a symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 in a predetermined symbol combination (in this example, “replay symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol”) is displayed on the upper horizontal line (effect line) of the symbol display window 113. Stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so as to be displayed.

  As described above, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 39 (a) → FIG. (B) → FIG. (Blue 7 design-Blue 7 design-Blue 7 design) is displayed on the winning line L1, and a replay is given. Further, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 39 (a) → FIG. (B) → FIG. 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and a replay is given. Further, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 39 (a) → FIG. (E) → FIG. 7 symbol-bell symbol-bell symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and a replay is given.

<In case of incorrect answer operation order>
FIG. 40 is a diagram showing an example of reel stop control in a time series when the “re-gamer 2 + 4”, which is a replay in push order, is internally won and a stop operation is performed according to an incorrect operation sequence other than the correct operation sequence. It is. Here, a case will be described in which reel stop data TD7 is selected by stop data sorting lottery, and the correct operation sequence is the first stop operation with the first stop reel as the left reel 110. Here, the case where the operation order is right / left / center will be described, but the same reel stop control is performed because the operation order is incorrect even when the operation order is right / left / left, center left / right, or center right / left. Can be applied.

<In case of incorrect answer operation order / first stop = right>
For example, when a first stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed in which the first stop reel is the right reel 112, the symbol combinations corresponding to the re-game player 2 (Rep 2 to 5 shown in FIG. 5). Of the four types of symbol combinations), the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 (bell symbol, replay symbol, or blue seven symbol), or the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying role 4 (Rep 7 to Rep in FIG. 5). Right reel 112 so that the symbol corresponding to right reel 112 (any of blue eight symbols, watermelon symbols, or bell symbols) is displayed on winning line L1. The stop control is performed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 among the four types of symbol combinations of Rep 2 to 5 corresponding to the replaying player 2 is a bell symbol, a replay symbol, or a blue seven symbol. Yes, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 among the eight symbol combinations Rep7 to 14 corresponding to the replaying combination 4 is a blue 7 symbol, a watermelon symbol, or a bell symbol. Among these four types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is the blue 7 symbols, so when the symbol combination priority stop control described above is performed, The stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the winning line L1.

  Here, since the number of payouts of “re-game player 2 + 4” is 0, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the payout number priority stop control, and the first stop reel is set to the right reel 112. When an operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed, as shown in FIG. 40A, stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the winning line L1. .

  Further, the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the seven symbols are stopped and the first stop operation is incorrect in the first stop button operation command reception process described with reference to FIG. Make a stop sound reservation. As a result, a normal stop sound is emitted from the speakers 272 and 277.

<Incorrect answer operation sequence / first stop = right → second stop = left>
Next, when a second stop operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed with the second stop reel as the left reel 110, the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game player 2 (here, the right reel 112 of the right reel 112). Since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the winning line L1, the symbol (blue 7 symbol or replay) corresponding to the left reel 110 in one of the two combinations of Rep4 and 5 shown in FIG. Symbol), or a symbol combination corresponding to the replaying combination 4 (here, the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the winning line L1 of the right reel 112, so that Rep7, 9, 10, 13 shown in FIG. The stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the symbol (blue 7 symbol, bell symbol, or replay symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 of any of the four symbol combinations) is displayed on the winning line L1. Divide.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 among the two types of symbol combinations Rep 4 and 5 corresponding to the replaying player 2 is the blue 7 symbol or the replay symbol, The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 among the four symbol combinations of Rep7, 9, 10, 13 corresponding to 4 is the blue 7 symbol, the bell symbol, or the replay symbol. Among these three types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is the blue 7 symbols. Therefore, when the above symbol combination priority stop control is performed, The stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the winning line L1.

  Here, since the number of payouts of “re-gamer 2 + 4” is 0, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the payout number priority stop control, and the second stop reel is set to the left reel 110. When an operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed and the blue 7 symbol is within the pull-in range, the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the winning line L1, as shown in FIG. 40 (b). Thus, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed, and the blue 7 symbol is tempered.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 displays the blue 7 symbol as a template in the second stop button operation command reception process described with reference to FIG. 34, and the first stop operation and the second stop operation are incorrect. And make a reservation for the normal tempering effect. As a result, a normal tempering sound is emitted from the speakers 272 and 277.

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

<In the case of incorrect answer operation order / first stop = right → second stop = left → third stop = medium>
Subsequently, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel shown in FIG. 40B is used as the left reel 110, the third stop operation in which the third stop reel is used as the middle reel 111 (stop operation using the middle stop button 138). In the case where a symbol combination is made, the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying player 2 (here, the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the winning line L1 of the left reel 110 and the right reel 112, so that the Rep4 shown in FIG. The symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 (replay symbol) in one symbol combination) or the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying combination 4 (here, blue on the winning line L1 of the left reel 110 and the right reel 112) Since the 7 symbols are stopped, the symbol (blue 7 symbol or bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 of any of the two types of symbol combinations Rep 7 and 9 shown in FIG. Stop control of the reel 111 is made to appear on the prize line L1.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 out of one kind of symbol combination of Rep4 corresponding to the replaying role 2 is a replay symbol, Rep7 corresponding to the replaying role 4, The symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 of the two types of symbol combinations of 9 is the blue 7 symbol or the bell symbol. Since these three types of symbols have the same number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1, the above-mentioned symbol combination priority stop control is not performed, and the first stop is performed in the incorrect answer pressing order. Since the operation has been performed, the stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that either the replay symbol or the bell symbol (in this example, the replay symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1.

  On the other hand, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel shown in FIG. 40D is the left reel 110, a third stop operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) in which the third stop reel is the middle reel 111 is performed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 40 (e), the symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 of the symbol combinations of Rep13 corresponding to the replaying combination 4 is displayed on the winning line L1. Thus, stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed.

  As described above, when a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 40 (a) → FIG. (B) → FIG. (Blue 7 symbol-Replay symbol-Blue 7 symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and a replay is given. When a stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 40 (a) → FIG. (D) → (e), a symbol combination (replay) corresponding to the replaying combination 4 is performed by reel stop processing. Symbol-bell symbol-blue 7 symbol) is displayed on the winning line L1, and a replay is given.

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

<Transition example of RT and mode / Normal mode>
In FIG. 41, the gaming state prior to the timing indicated by symbol a is a gaming state in which the mode is set to the normal mode and RT is set to RT3 (replay low probability 2 state). As described above, RT3 (low re-probability 2 state) is an internal winning combination of “re-playing player 1 + 2”, which is a re-push order replay. The symbol combination corresponding to the game player 2 (transition replay 1) is displayed on the winning line L1, and RT is a gaming state in which the RT is transitioned (promoted) to RT4 (high replay probability 1 state).

  However, in RT3 in the normal mode (replay low probability 2 state), in the RT3 push order flag setting process described with reference to FIG. 18, it is determined that the AT flag is off, and the correct push order flag is set on. Therefore, the push order effect that suggests the correct operation order is not executed. For this reason, in the normal mode, the transition (promotion) from RT3 (low replay probability 2 state) to RT4 (high replay probability 1 state) occurs when a stop operation according to the correct operation sequence is performed by chance. Yes, for example, the imming indicated by symbol a in FIG.

  Subsequently, the gaming state from the timing indicated by reference symbol a to the timing indicated by reference symbol b in FIG. 41 is a gaming state in which the mode is set to the normal mode and RT is set to RT4 (replay high probability 1 state). is there. As described above, RT4 (high re-probability 1 state) will be re-played when “Re-Gamer 2 + 3”, which is a re-playing push order, is internally won and stopped according to the correct operation sequence determined in the lottery. The symbol combination corresponding to the game player 3 (transition replay 2) is displayed on the winning line L1, and the RT is a game state in which the RT is transitioned (promoted) to RT5 (replay high probability 2 state).

  However, in RT4 (high reprobability 1 state) in the normal mode, it is determined that the AT flag is off in the RT4 push order flag setting process described with reference to FIG. 19, and the correct push order flag is set to on. Therefore, the push order effect that suggests the correct operation order is not executed. For this reason, the transition (promotion) from RT4 (high replay probability 1 state) to RT5 (high replay probability 2 state) in the normal mode occurs when a stop operation according to the correct operation sequence is performed by chance. Yes, for example, the timing indicated by symbol b in FIG.

  Subsequently, the gaming state from the timing indicated by symbol b to the timing indicated by symbol c in FIG. 41 is a gaming state in which the mode is set to the normal mode and RT is set to RT5 (replay high probability 2 state). is there. As described above, RT5 (high re-probability 2 state) will be re-played when “Re-Gamer 2 + 4”, which is a replaying push order, is internally won and stopped according to the correct operation sequence determined in the lottery. The symbol combination corresponding to the game player 4 (transition replay 3) is displayed on the winning line L1, and the RT is shifted (promoted) to RT6 (replay high probability 3 state), while the symbol combination corresponding to the spilled eye is When displayed on the winning line L1, it is a gaming state that shifts (relegates) to RT3 (low-replay probability 2 state). In FIG. 41, at the timing indicated by the symbol c, the symbol combination corresponding to the spill is displayed on the winning line L1, and RT shifts from RT6 (replay high probability 3 state) to RT3 (replay low probability 2 state) ( Degraded).

  As described above, the timing indicated by reference symbol a to timing c in FIG. 41 is RT4 (high reprobability 1 state) or RT5 (except for the case where a stop operation according to the correct operation sequence is performed by chance. This is a period during which there is a high possibility of transition (demotion) from RT3 (replay high probability 2 state) to RT3 (replay low probability 2 state).

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

  In the AT mode according to the present example, at the timing indicated by the symbol d, RT shifts (promotes) from RT3 (replay low probability 2 state) to RT4 (replay high probability 1 state), and at the timing indicated by the symbol e. RT shifts (promotes) from RT4 (replay high probability 2 state) to RT5 (replay high probability 2 state), and RT changes from RT5 (replay high probability 2 state) to RT6 (replay high probability 2 state). (High game probability 3 state). In RT3 (replay low probability 2 state) to RT5 (replay high probability 2 state) in the AT mode, the AT flag is turned on in the RT3 to RT5 push order flag setting processing described with reference to FIGS. Therefore, when the correct push order flag is set to ON, a push order effect that suggests the correct operation order is executed. For this reason, the player can shift (promote) RT by performing a stop operation in accordance with the correct operation order suggested by the push order effect.

  As described above, RT6 (replay high probability 3 state) is an internal winning combination of “replaying player 2 + 4” which is a push replay, and a stop operation is performed according to an incorrect operation sequence other than the correct operation sequence determined in the lottery. In the case of being played, the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying player 2 (transitional replay 1) is displayed on the winning line L1, and the gaming state is a gaming state in which the gaming state is transitioned (relegated) to RT4 (replaying high probability 1 state). is there. 41, the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying player 2 (transitional replay 1) is displayed on the winning line L1, and RT changes from RT6 (replay high probability 3 state) to RT4 (replay high). The state of transition (demotion) to (probability 1 state) is shown.

<RT and mode transition example / AT mode-> normal mode>
The timing indicated by the symbol h in FIG. 41 indicates a state in which the mode has been changed from the AT mode to the normal mode while the RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) set during the AT mode is continuing. Yes.

  As described above, RT4 (high re-probability 1 state) will be re-played when “Re-Gamer 2 + 3”, which is a re-playing push order, is internally won and stopped according to the correct operation sequence determined in the lottery. The symbol combination corresponding to the game player 3 (transition replay 2) is displayed on the winning line L1, and RT is shifted (promoted) to RT5 (replay high probability 2 state), while the symbol combination corresponding to the spilled eye is When displayed on the winning line L1, it is a gaming state that shifts (relegates) to RT3 (low-replay probability 2 state). In FIG. 41, at the timing indicated by the symbol i, the symbol combination corresponding to the spilled line is displayed on the winning line L1, and RT shifts from RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) to RT3 (replay low probability 2 state) ( Degraded).

  As described above, in FIG. 41, the timing indicated by the symbol h to the timing indicated by the symbol i are from RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) to RT3 (except for the case where the stop operation according to the correct operation sequence is performed by chance. This is a period (waiting for a fall) that is likely to shift (demotion) to the replay low probability 2 state).

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

<Push order production / instruction monitor>
First, the push order navigation by the instruction monitor (payout number display device 127) will be described. As described above, the main control unit 300 performs the internal winning combination and stop data corresponding to the correct answer push order flag (or incorrect answer push order flag) set to ON in the instruction monitor display process described with reference to FIG. 7 segment data is selected based on the above, and the selected 7 segment data is set as the lighting pattern data of the instruction monitor. Thereby, the instruction monitor receives the start operation by the start lever 135 in the medal insertion / start operation acceptance process (step S102) of the main control unit main process, and then executes the winning combination internal lottery process (step S103). The display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG1 to SEG3 (7-segment display indicating 1 stop) indicating the first stop operation shown in FIG. 12A or the correct operation sequence shown in FIG. Illuminated in a display mode corresponding to the suggested 7-segment data SEG4 to SEG9 (promotion or 7-match instruction).

  However, in the RT6 push order flag setting process described with reference to FIG. 21, when the re-game player 2 + 4 is internally won and the AT set extra CZ flag is on, the correct push order or incorrect push order flag is turned on. Therefore, the instruction monitor display control (step S902) in the instruction monitor display process is not executed, and the instruction monitor remains hidden. On the other hand, even when the re-game combination 2 + 4 is internally won and the AT set addition CZ flag is ON, the push order navigation during the AT mode by the liquid crystal display device 157 described later is displayed.

  Note that the timing for starting display of the instruction monitor is not limited to this example. For example, in the reel rotation start processing (step S105) of the main control unit main processing, the timing at which rotation of all the reels 110 to 112 is started. (Timing indicated as “reel rotation start” in FIGS. 42 and 43) may be used.

<Push order effect / Liquid crystal display device / Push order effect during AT mode>
Next, a push order effect during the AT mode by the liquid crystal display device 157 will be described.

  In the internal lottery command reception process described with reference to FIG. 32, the first sub-control unit 400 performs the second stop / third stop sorting lottery during the AT mode when there is internal winning information of push order replay. Based on the result, a reservation is made for the push order effects of the first to third stops. Thereby, the liquid crystal display device 157 displays an image corresponding to the push order effect shown in the AT mode in FIG.

  Specifically, when the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG1 (first stop = left), the effect 1-2 (“123” display) or the effect 1-3 (“132”) Image corresponding to (display) (push order navigation images of 1 stop to 3 stops) are displayed. When the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG2 (first stop = medium), the effect 2-2 (“213” display) or the effect 2-3 (“312” display) is displayed. Corresponding images (push order navigation images from 1 to 3 stops) are displayed. When the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG3 (first stop = right), the effect 3-2 (“231” display) or the effect 3-3 (“321” display) is displayed. Corresponding images (push order navigation images from 1 to 3 stops) are displayed.

  Further, in the internal lottery command reception process described with reference to FIG. 32, the first sub control unit 400 performs the first to third stop push order effects when there is internal winning information of the push order small part. Make a reservation. Thereby, an image corresponding to the push order effect shown in FIG. 13B is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157.

  Specifically, when the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG4 (correct push order = left middle right), the image corresponding to the effect 1-2 (“123” display) (1 stop) When the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG5 (correct pressing order = left / right middle), the effect 1-3 (“132” display) is displayed. An image corresponding to (a push navigation image of 1 stop to 3 stops) is displayed. In addition, when the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG6 (correct pressing order = middle left and right), the image corresponding to the effect 2-2 (“213” display) (1 stop to 3 stops). Push order navigation image) is displayed and the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG7 (correct push order = middle right left), the image corresponding to the effect 2-3 ("312" display) (1st to 3rd stop push order navigation image) is displayed. Further, when the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG8 (correct pressing order = middle right and left), the image corresponding to the effect 3-2 (displayed “231”) (1 stop to 3 stops). (Push order navigation image) is displayed and the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG9 (correct push order = right middle left), this corresponds to the effect 3-3 ("321" display). An image (push order navigation image of 1 stop to 3 stops) is displayed.

  FIG. 44 (a) is a diagram showing an example of a push order navigation image of 1 to 3 stops in the AT mode. In this example, in front of the image during AT mode (AT mode background image) shown in FIG. 44 (d), the correct operation sequence depends on the image (number and display position) corresponding to the effect 1-3 ("132" display). An image indicating that the image is in the left or right direction is displayed.

  In addition, when the first stop operation is performed in the state where the push order navigation images from the first stop to the third stop are displayed, the navigation image corresponding to the first stop operation is erased, so that the second stop is performed. A 3 stop push order navigation image is displayed. FIG. 44 (b) is a diagram showing an example of a push order navigation image of 2 stops and 3 stops in the AT mode. In this example, in the state in which the 1st to 3rd stop push navigation images shown in FIG. 44 (a) are displayed, the first stop reel is moved to the left reel 110 in accordance with the correct operation sequence (in this example, left and right). Since the first stop operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed, the navigation image (image including the number 1) corresponding to the first stop operation is deleted, so that the second stop and the third stop are performed. A push order navigation image (an image indicating that the remaining correct answer operation order is in the middle depending on the number and the display position) is displayed.

  In addition, when the second stop operation is performed in the state where the 2 stop and 3 stop push order navigation images are displayed, the navigation image corresponding to the second stop operation is deleted to delete the 3 stop stops. A push order navigation image is displayed. FIG. 44C is a diagram showing an example of a three-stop push order navigation image in the AT mode. In this example, in the state where the 2 stop and 3 stop push order navigation images shown in FIG. 44B are displayed, the second stop reel is moved to the right reel 112 according to the correct operation sequence (in this example, left and right in the middle). Since the second stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed, the navigation image (image including the number 2) corresponding to the second stop operation is deleted, and the order of pushing the 3 stops A navigation image (an image indicating that the remaining stop operation is being performed depending on the number and the display position) is displayed.

<Push order navigation / Liquid crystal display / Seven-point navigation in AT mode>
Next, with reference to FIG. 45 (a), the 7-target navigation in the AT mode by the liquid crystal display device 157 will be described.

  In the internal lottery command reception process described with reference to FIG. 32, the first sub-control unit 400 wins an internal winning combination of the re-game player 2 + 4 during RT5 and the AT set addition CZ flag is on. Make a reservation for the complete navigation. As a result, the liquid crystal display device 157 has, for example, a seven-targeted navigation image as shown in FIG. 45A (in this example, the first stop operation in the correct operation sequence is on the left, and the design aimed at the left reel 110 is An image including the characters “Let's aim at the blue 7 symbol from the left” and a character indicating that it is the blue 7 symbol, and “1--” indicating that the first stop operation in the correct operation sequence is the left ) And an image indicating that the AT set is added to the CZ ready state (an image including the characters “Preparing”).

<Push Order Navigation / Liquid Crystal Display / 7-Target Navigation in AT Mode (Push Order Challenge Production)>
Next, with reference to FIG. 45B, the 7-target navigation (push order challenge effect) in the AT mode by the liquid crystal display device 157 will be described.

  When the internal lottery command reception process described with reference to FIG. 32 is performed, the first sub-control unit 400 performs internal winning of the re-game player 2 + 4 during RT6 and the AT set addition CZ flag is ON. Make a reservation to perform alignment navigation. As a result, the liquid crystal display device 157 displays, for example, a 7-target notification image as shown in FIG. 45B (in this example, “blue indicating that the design aimed at each reel 110-112 is the blue 7 design” An image including a character and a character “7 win the symbol”, an image including a display of “???” concealing the correct operation order), and an image indicating that the AT set is added to the CZ state (“in CZ”) An image containing characters) is displayed.

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

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

  Specifically, when the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG1 (first stop = left), the image corresponding to the effect 1-1 (“1--” display) (1 stop) Navigation order image) is displayed. In addition, when the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG2 (first stop = medium), the image corresponding to the effect 2-1 (“-1-” display) (the order of pressing the one stop) Navigation image) is displayed. In addition, when the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG3 (first stop = right), the image corresponding to the effect 3-1 (“−−1” display) (the order of pushing the one stop) Navigation image) is displayed.

  FIG. 45 (c) is a diagram showing an example of a one-stop push order navigation image in the normal mode. In this example, the effect 2-1 (“-1-”) is displayed before the normal mode image (normal mode background image) that is different from the AT mode image (AT mode background image) shown in FIG. Display) (an image suggesting that the first stop operation is being performed depending on the number and the display position) is displayed.

  In this example, the 7-alignment navigation and the 7-alignment navigation are performed only during the AT mode. However, these navigations and other navigations may be performed during the normal mode. .

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

  The first sub control unit 400 determines whether or not the first stop operation is in the correct pressing order in the first stop button operation command reception process described with reference to FIG. 33, and the result of the first stop operation. (Left, middle, or right) and the result of pressing order determination (correct answer or incorrect answer) are stored in the RAM 408 in time series, and then the second stop button operation described with reference to FIG. In the command reception process, it is determined whether or not the second stop operation is in the correct pressing order, and the result of the second stop operation (left, middle, or right) and the result of the pressing order determination (correct or incorrect) ) Is stored in the RAM 408 in time series.

  Specifically, referring to FIG. 46B, in the stop operations three times before and twice, it is determined whether or not the first stop operation = the order in which the left is in the correct push order and the first stop. After a process of storing the operation result and the history of the result of the push order determination (for example, first stop operation = left, push order = correct answer) in the RAM 408 in time series, the second stop operation = right is the correct push order. And a process of storing the history of the result of the second stop operation and the result of the push order determination (for example, second stop operation = right, push order = correct answer) in the RAM 408 in time series. Thus, the first stop operation = left, the second stop operation = right, the third stop operation = middle, and the push order = correct information are stored in the RAM 408.

  In the previous stop operation, it is determined whether or not the first stop operation = right is the correct pressing order, and the history of the results of the first stop operation and the determination of the pressing order (for example, the first stop operation) (Stop operation = right, push order = correct answer) is stored in the RAM 408 in time series, then it is determined whether or not the second stop operation = medium is the correct push order, and the result of the second stop operation And a history of the results of the determination of the pressing order (for example, second stopping operation = medium, pressing order = correct answer) are stored in the RAM 408 in time series, so that the first stopping operation = right, the second stopping operation = middle. , Information of third stop operation = left, pushing order = correct answer is stored in the RAM 408.

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

  Specifically, referring to FIG. 46B, for the stop operation three times before, the history information of the result of the stop operation and the result of the pressing order determination from the RAM 408 (first stop operation = left, second stop) Operation = right, third stop operation = medium, push order = correct answer), for example, a history display “3 times before, 1-3-2” is performed, and the same processing is performed for the stop operation before 2 times. I do. As for the previous stop operation, the history information of the result of the stop operation and the result of the push order determination from the RAM 408 (first stop operation = right, second stop operation = medium, third stop operation = left, push (Order = correct answer) is acquired, and for example, a history display of “one time before, 3-2-1” is displayed.

<Modification>
The configuration of the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the slot machine 100 according to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the main control unit 300 does not perform the push order correctness determination process, but transmits information on the actual operation reel number and the correct reel number to the first sub control unit 400, and based on the information, the first sub control unit 400 Although an example in which the control unit 400 performs the push order correctness determination process has been described, another control unit (for example, the main control unit 300) may be configured to perform the push order correctness determination process.

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

  In step S3004 of the push order determination process according to the modification, each time the stop operation is accepted in the reel stop process, the actual operation reel number is compared with the correct reel number to determine whether the stop operation is in the correct push order. A push order correct / incorrect determination process is performed. In the next step S1404, a stop button operation command transmission request process including the result of the push order correctness determination process in step S3004 is made, and then the stop button operation command transmission request process ends.

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

  The upper byte of the second command data is a fixed value (for example, 16H) indicating the command code, and the lower 6 bits b0 to b5 of the lower byte are the reel rotation control process in the latest main controller timer interrupt process. Is the symbol position information indicating the symbol position when the reel is stopped, and the other two bits b6 to b7 of the lower byte are data indicating the correctness of pushing order. Here, when the first stop operation and the second stop operation are correct, the data indicating the push order correct / incorrect information is information indicating the correct answer (for example, 11B (B is a binary number; the same applies hereinafter)). If either the 1 stop operation or the 2nd stop operation is incorrect, it is information indicating an incorrect answer (for example, 01B), and if it does not include push order correct / incorrect information, information indicating that (for example, , 00B).

  48 is a modification of the first stop button operation command reception process of the first sub-control unit 400 described with reference to FIG. 33, and FIG. 49 is a first example described with reference to FIG. It is a modification of the process at the time of the 2nd stop button operation command reception of the sub-control part 400.

  As shown in FIGS. 33 and 48, in the first stop button operation command reception process according to the modification, the process of step S3102 is applied instead of the push order correctness determination process (step S2302) shown in FIG. Yes. In this step S3102, on the basis of the command data of the first stop button operation command (actual operation reel number, stop button reception symbol position, stop symbol position, push order correct / incorrect information) Update.

  As shown in FIGS. 34 and 49, in the second stop button operation command reception process according to the modification, the process of step S3202 is applied instead of the push order correctness determination process (step S2402) shown in FIG. is doing. In this step S3202, on the basis of the command data of the second stop button operation command (actual operation reel number, stop button reception symbol position, stop symbol position, push order correct / incorrect information) Update. Further, here, it is determined whether or not the stop operation is in the correct push order based on the push order correct / incorrect information at the time of the first stop operation and the second stop operation, and the result of the first to third stop operations. A process of storing the history of the results of the determination of the pressing order in the RAM 408 in time series is performed.

  In this example, every time the main control unit 300 accepts a stop operation, the push order correct / incorrect information is transmitted, and the first sub control unit 400 updates the push order correct / incorrect information for each stop operation. Staged production can be performed. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, the main control unit 300 transmits push order correctness information only during the second stop operation, and the first sub control unit 400 transmits push order correctness information only during the second stop operation. It may be configured to perform the update. With such a configuration, the information transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 can be reduced, the control burden can be reduced, and the act of illegally acquiring information can be further prevented. can do.

<Invention 1>
As described above, the gaming machine (for example, the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1) according to the present invention (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “the present invention 1”) is provided with a plurality of types of symbols and is rotationally driven. A plurality of reels (for example, reels 110 to 112 shown in FIG. 1) and stop operation receiving means (for example, stop buttons 137 to 137 shown in FIG. 1) for receiving a stop operation for individually stopping the rotation of the plurality of reels. 139), display means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 157 shown in FIG. 1), first control means for controlling the progress of the game (for example, the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 3), and the first for controlling the production. And a second control means (for example, a first sub-control unit 400 and a second sub-control unit 500 shown in FIG. 3), wherein the first control means is a lottery related to an internal winning of a combination. Processing, lottery result Lottery means to be determined (for example, a winning combination internal lottery process shown in FIG. 15), and stop control means (for example, reel stop process shown in FIG. 25) for stopping the plurality of reels based on the received stop operation. , A privilege granting means (for example, AT lottery processing shown in FIG. 16) for granting a predetermined privilege (for example, RT promotion, AT right, AT set additional right), and information relating to the progress of the game are controlled by the second control. Information transmission means (for example, command setting transmission processing shown in FIG. 28), and the second control means indicates the stop operation based on the information transmitted by the information transmission means. Display control means for displaying information on the display means (for example, an effect control process shown in FIG. 30A), and the stop control means includes a first lottery result (hereinafter referred to as “first lottery result”). For example, the replay 2 + 4) is determined, and the stop operation is the first stop operation (for example, the incorrect operation sequence shown in FIG. 40 (a) → FIG. (D) → FIG. (E)). In the case of the stop operation in the middle right), the first stop mode (for example, the symbol combination of “bell symbol-replay symbol-blue 7 symbol” shown in FIG. 40E) is obtained. The plurality of reels can be stopped at the same time, the first lottery result is determined, and the stop operation is different from the first stop operation (for example, FIG. 39A). → (b) → (c) The correct operation sequence shown in FIG. (C) (stop operation in the middle left) is a second stop mode different from the first stop mode (for example, As shown in FIG. 39 (c), the above-mentioned composite is made so as to be “blue 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol”. A means capable of stopping a number of reels, and the privilege giving means is a means capable of giving the predetermined privilege when the plurality of reels are stopped in the second stop mode. In the first game in which the information transmission means is in the first game state (for example, AT mode) and the first lottery result is determined, all of the stop operations in the first game are performed. Before receiving (for example, immediately after receiving the start lever 135), it is means for transmitting information capable of specifying the first stop operation to the second control means, and the display control means is configured to transmit the first game. Information indicating the first stop operation based on the information that can identify the first stop operation transmitted by the information transmission means (for example, 7-set avoidance navigation) before accepting all the stop operations in Display on the display means In the second game in which the information transmission means is in a second game state (for example, a normal mode) different from the first game state and the first lottery result is determined. , after receiving at least a part of the previous SL stop operation that put in said second game, the which can specify correctness of stop operation information (e.g., (1) information indicating the correct operation order ((1-1 ) Information of different modes (for example, all information of the first to third stop operations in the correct answer operation order at the start lever reception (eg, left middle right) → first correct answer operation order after the first stop operation) Stop operation information (example: left) → second stop operation information (example: middle) in the correct operation sequence after the second stop operation, (1-2) information in the same mode (for example, start lever reception All information of the first to third stop operations in the correct operation sequence (example: Middle right) → all information of the first to third stop operations after the second stop operation (e.g., left middle right)), (2) information indicating whether the stop operation is correct (correct answer, incorrect answer) ((2-1) ) Correct answer information for the first stop operation after the first stop operation or after the second stop operation when the correct answer operation order is 3 choices, (2-2) If the correct answer operation order is 6 choices, the first Correct / incorrect information for only the first stop operation after the stop operation → correct / incorrect information for only the second stop operation after the second stop operation, correct / incorrect information for the first stop operation and the second stop operation only after the second stop operation) The second control means transmits to the control means, and the second control means produces an effect (for example, a first one) on whether the stop operation is correct based on the information transmitted by the information transmission means that can specify whether the stop operation is correct or not. If after 1 stop operation, is the first stop operation correct? A second stop where an effect is given (for example, OK, GOOD, correct answer, display of characters and symbols such as ○, sound effect sound, background color and background image switching) and benefits Expectation effect whether or not the mode is displayed (sound output of multiple types according to the expected level, display of multiple types of colors and patterns according to the expected level, display of special characters), second stop If it is after the operation, the expectation effect in the tempered state (the sound of the normal tempering sound is output when the expectation is low, the sound of the special tempering sound is output when the expectation is high), and after the third stop operation, FIG. 7), the stop control means determines the first lottery result, and the stop operation is the first stop operation and the When the third stop operation is different from any of the second stop operations, The plurality of reels can be stopped so as to be a third stop mode different from both the one stop mode and the second stop mode, and the second stop mode is a symbol display window. (For example, in the symbol display window 113 shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2), a predetermined symbol (for example, the blue 7 symbol shown in FIG. 4) is in the tempered state (for example, “blue 7 symbol-blue” shown in FIG. 39B). 7 symbols-(during rotation) "), the symbol combination consisting only of the predetermined symbols (for example, the symbol combination of" blue 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol "shown in Fig. 39 (c)) ) Are displayed together. In the third stop mode, the symbol display window displays a combination of symbols consisting only of the predetermined symbol after the predetermined symbol is in the tempered state. Is not stopped, and the second control When the plurality of reels are stopped in the second stop mode, the means can perform a predetermined effect in the tempered state, and the plurality of reels are stopped in the third stop mode. The game machine is a means for not performing the predetermined performance in the tempered state.

  According to the gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention, in the second game, based on the information that can be specified whether the stop operation is correct or not transmitted by the information transmitting means, it is possible to produce an effect related to the correctness of the stop operation. It is possible to produce an effect that matches the correctness of the stop operation, and to increase the variation of the effect. In addition, since it is difficult to grasp the correct operation sequence even if the information transmitted from the information transmitting means is illegally obtained, it is possible to prevent unauthorized acts and ensure security.

  The information transmitting means, after receiving at least a part of the stop operation in the second game, at least correct push order information (for example, correct reel number) indicating the correct push order of the stop operation, Stop operation information indicating the stop operation received by the stop operation receiving means (for example, actual operation reel number correct answer reel number) is transmitted to the second control means, and the second control means Stop operation determination means for determining whether the stop operation is correct based on the push order information and the stop operation information (for example, the push order correct / incorrect determination process in the first stop button operation command reception process shown in FIG. The second stop button operation command reception process shown in FIG.

  With such a configuration, whether or not the stop operation is correct can be determined in the second control unit, and the control burden on the first control unit can be reduced. In addition, since it is impossible to determine whether or not the stop operation is correct unless both the correct push order information and the stop operation information are acquired, an illegal act performed by illegally acquiring information transmitted from the information transmitting means is Can be prevented.

  In addition, when the first transmission operation is received in the second game, the information transmission means transmits the correct answer pressing order information and the stop operation information at the time of the first stop operation to the second control. When the second stop operation is received in the second game, at least the correct push order information and the stop operation information at the time of the second stop operation are transmitted to the second control unit. (E.g., (1-1) transmit information in a different mode (e.g., transmit all information on the first to third stop operations in the correct operation sequence at the start lever reception (e.g., left middle right) ) → Transmission of information on the first stop operation in the correct operation sequence after the first stop operation (example: left) → Information on the second stop operation in the correct operation sequence after the second stop operation (example: middle) Transmission), (1-2) of the same mode (E.g., sending all information on the first to third stop operations in the correct operation sequence at the start lever reception (e.g., left middle right) → after the second stop operation, the first to third stop operations All information (example: left middle right) is transmitted), (2) information indicating whether or not the stop operation is correct (correct answer, incorrect answer) is transmitted ((2-1) when the correct operation order is 3 choices, Correct / incorrect information for the first stop operation is transmitted after one stop operation or after the second stop operation. (2-2) Correct / incorrect information only for the first stop operation after the first stop operation when the correct operation sequence is 6 choices → After the second stop operation, correct / incorrect information for only the second stop operation is transmitted, and correct / incorrect information for the first stop operation and the second stop operation is transmitted only after the second stop operation).

  With such a configuration, it is possible to perform various effects corresponding to the correctness of the stop operation for each stop operation, and to reduce the control burden on the first control means. In addition, since it is impossible to determine whether or not the stop operation is correct unless both correct answer order information and stop operation information are acquired for each stop operation, an illegal operation performed by illegally acquiring information transmitted from the information transmission means. Actions can be prevented more reliably.

  In addition, the first lottery result is information (for example, internal winning information) that can specify that the re-game player (for example, re-game 2 + 4) to which the re-game is given has been internally won, and the stop control means Is a stop mode corresponding to the re-game player (for example, re-game player 2 or re-game player, regardless of whether the stop operation is the first stop operation or the second stop operation). 4 may be a means capable of stopping the plurality of reels so that a combination of symbols corresponding to 4) is obtained.

  With such a configuration, the gaming state (RT) is transitioned by winning a re-gamer, and it is suitable for a gaming table in which the internal winning probability of the re-gamer is different depending on the game state (RT). Gameability can be improved.

  In addition, correct push order information storage means (for example, RAM 408 shown in FIG. 3) capable of storing correct push order information indicating the correct push order of the stop operation is provided, and the second control means determines whether the stop operation is correct or not. As an effect related to the above, it may be a means for controlling the history display of the correct answer pressing order (for example, the display of the seven-order pressing order history image shown in FIG. 46B).

  With such a configuration, the player can freely check the history of the correct answer pressing order in the past, can provide a new way of playing in the game table with a game characteristic to hit the correct answer pressing order, The fun of gaming can be enhanced.
