Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine including a plurality of lottery states (RT) having different replay winning probabilities and controlling transition between these lottery states.

Conventionally, there is known a slot machine that includes a plurality of RTs having different replay winning probabilities and controls transition between these RTs.
And, it is known that AT is executed when staying at an advantageous RT with a high replay winning probability among a plurality of RTs, and after the AT ends, it is transferred to another RT with a low replay winning probability. ing.
In this case, conventionally, in order to make it difficult to shift to an advantageous RT during non-AT, a method of setting a penalty in a specific push order during non-AT is known. In addition, it is known that control is performed so as not to shift to an advantageous RT unless a plurality of RTs are provided and a correct answer is given in the order of pushing in a plurality of games (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2011-212474 A

Here, recently, there is a tendency that AT management (control) is not performed on the sub-control board but on the main control board.
However, when performing AT management on the main control board, if the number of replays for shifting to RT increases, the capacity of the main control board is compressed, so that there is a problem that many replays cannot be provided. .
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to reduce the types of replay for shifting the lottery state in the slot machine that shifts the lottery state (RT).

The present invention solves the above problems by the following means. The configuration of the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The present invention
Main control means (main control board 60) for controlling the progress of the game;
A role lottery means (61) for drawing a role,
As the gaming state in which the winning lottery is performed by the winning lottery means, the first lottery state (non-RT), the second lottery state (RT1), and the third lottery state (at least one replay winning probability differ) RT2)
The main control means shifts to the second lottery state when the transition condition to the second lottery state is satisfied in the first lottery state (when the special drawing is displayed), and the third lottery state in the second lottery state When the conditions for transition to the lottery state are satisfied (when replay 03 or 04 wins), control is performed so as to transition to the third lottery state,
The part lottery means performs a part lottery so as to have a case of specific winning (small part A1 to B6),
The main control means includes
The stop switch is operated in the first operation mode (incorrect pressing order and operation timing of the stop switch 42 for winning the small roles 02 to 27) in the case of the specific winning in the third lottery state. When the game is performed, the game moves to the first lottery state from the next game, and when the stop switch is operated in the second operation mode (incorrect pressing order and operation timing of the stop switch 42 for displaying a special figure), the next game When the stop switch is operated in the third operation mode (the correct push order for winning the small role 01 or the small role 28), the combination of symbols (small role) that is advantageous to the player is entered. 01 or a combination of symbols of the small role 28) and the next game also maintains the third lottery state,
When the specific winning is made under the situation of the first lottery state and the stop switch is operated in the second operation mode, the game shifts to the second lottery state from the next game,
The part lottery means performs a part lottery so as to have a case of a predetermined winning (small part C1 to C6),
When the main control means is in the predetermined lottery state in the second lottery state or the third lottery state and the stop switch is operated in an advantageous operation mode (correct answer pressing order), the next game The current replay lottery state is maintained, and when the stop switch is operated in an unfavorable operation mode (incorrect answer pressing order), the next game shifts to the first lottery state,
As a control state relating to whether or not to notify the third operation mode at the time of the specific winning, at least a non-notification control state (for example, main game state 0 (non-AT) where the frequency of notifying the third operation mode at the time of the specific winning is low) ) And a predetermined notification control state (for example, main gaming state 3 (AT)) with a high frequency of notifying the third operation mode at the time of the specific winning,
When the main control means is in the specific winning state under the condition of the predetermined notification control state and the third lottery state and the stop switch is not operated in the third operation mode, the main control means starts the predetermined notification control from the next game. Suspend the progress of the game in the state (assuming AT return),
In a situation where the progress of the game in the predetermined notification control state is interrupted and in the first lottery state, when the specific winning is achieved, the third operation mode is not notified and the predetermined winning is achieved. When an error occurs, an advantageous operation mode is notified,
In a situation where the progress of the game in the predetermined notification control state is interrupted and in the second lottery state, when the specific winning is achieved, the third operation mode is notified and the predetermined winning is achieved. When an error occurs, an advantageous operation mode is notified,
In the second lottery state, the game is operated while operating the stop switch in the third operation mode when the specific winning is achieved and operating the stop switch in the advantageous operation mode when the predetermined winning is achieved. It is characterized by the fact that the payout rate is set so as not to exceed “1” even when proceeding.

  According to the present invention, when a specific winning is made in the third lottery state, according to the first to third operation modes of the stop switch, the first lottery state or the second lottery state is shifted, Alternatively, since the third lottery state is maintained, for example, the specific win is set as a so-called push order bell, and when the winning combination of the push order is incorrect / not won, the correct answer of the push order is the first to third of the stop switches. If the operation mode is set, the lottery state can be shifted without increasing the type of replay.

In the present specification, the meanings of terms are as follows.
“RT gaming state” or simply “RT” means that the type (number) of condition devices (1BB, 2BB, replays, small roles) and the winning probabilities that are subject to lottery are unique lottery states, “RT transfer” means that the type (number) of replays to be selected and the winning probability thereof change by shifting from one RT to another RT. Therefore, the type (number) of replays and the winning probability in one RT are values specific to the RT, and the type (number) of replays and the winning probability are different between one RT and the other RT. It will never be exactly the same.

In this embodiment, RT includes non-RT, RT1, RT2, and RT3 (FIG. 21 described later). “Non-RT” does not mean that it is not included in the concept of RT, but is equivalent to “RT0”. Therefore, in this specification, “RT” includes non-RT.
In the present embodiment, the non-inside is non-RT, RT1, or RT2, and the inside is RT3. This is because the type (number) of replays to be selected for the lottery and the winning probabilities are different between the inside and the inside.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, 1BB game and 2BB game are provided as RTs during the special game. In this embodiment, neither the 1BB game nor the 2BB game performs the replay lottery, but the RT that does not perform the replay lottery is one RT. That is, an RT that is a 1BB game and an RT that is a 2BB game are provided.

The “main game state” is a concept different from RT, and indicates a so-called normal / AT precursor / AT preparation / AT.
In this embodiment, RT3 is provided as the inside, and the main game state peculiar to the inside is not provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a main game state unique to the inside may be provided.
The main game state of the present embodiment includes main game states 0 to 5 (FIG. 22 described later, details will be described later).

Note that “main game state” indicates “state related to notification (state indicating whether notification is performed) (notification control state / non-notification control state)”, “state related to AT (whether or not AT is being performed). State) (AT control state / non-AT control state) "," special mode ", etc.
In particular, the “notification control state” refers to a state in which when the condition device having a pushing order advantageous to the player is won, the frequency of notifying the pushing order is high. However, in the notification control state, the pressing order is not always notified. For example, as will be described later, when the player falls into a non-RT despite being in the main game state corresponding to the notification control state, an advantageous pressing order is not notified when a predetermined condition device is won.

  On the other hand, the “non-notification control state” refers to a state where the frequency of notifying the pressing order is low when a condition device having a pressing order advantageous to the player is won. However, the non-notification control state does not always notify the pressing order. For example, when a difference number described later falls below a predetermined number (for example, −5000 sheets), an advantageous pushing order may be notified in order to adjust a payout rate described later.

The “advantageous operation mode” of the stop switch is an operation mode in which a winning combination with a large number of payouts is won when the game result (combination of symbols stopped on the active line) varies depending on the operation mode of the stop switch, or an advantageous RT This refers to the operation mode in which the winning combination is awarded. The “advantageous operation mode” is also referred to as a correct operation mode.
The “operation mode” is a concept indicating the pressing order of the stop switch and / or the operation timing.

  In the present embodiment, there are two types of “incorrect answer pressing order” when the pressing order bell is won. Among the push order bells in the present embodiment, the small roles A1 to B6, which will be described later, will win when the stop switch is operated in the correct push order according to the push order of the stop switch, or the push order and the operation timing. It has a bell (8 or 3 bells with a large number of payouts) and a low-cost bell (1 bell with a small number of payouts) that is awarded when the stop switch is operated in the incorrect order of pressing.

  Furthermore, when the stop switch is operated in the incorrect answer pressing order when the pressing order bell is won, there are cases where the Anme Bell wins and cases where the combination is missed according to the operation timing of the stop switch. The stop appearance (a combination of symbols on the effective line) displayed when the role is missed is referred to as “spilled eye”, and in this embodiment is referred to as “special symbol (“ abbreviation of specific symbol ”).

  In addition, among the push order bells, small roles C1 to C6, which will be described later, are RT maintenance bells to be awarded when the stop switch is operated in the correct push order according to the push order of the stop switch (the number of payouts is 3), There is an RT transition (falling) bell (the number of payouts is 3) which is awarded when the stop switch is operated in the incorrect pressing order.

On the other hand, at the time of replay overlap winning (replays of replays B1 to B6 described later), a combination of different symbols is stopped and displayed according to the pressing order of the stop switches, but no overshoot occurs at the time of replay winning (“PB =” described later). 1 ").
In this case, a combination of symbols advantageous to the player, for example, a combination of symbols that shifts to an RT with a higher replay winning probability, or a push order for stopping and displaying a combination of symbols that maintain an RT with a higher replay winning probability, These are called “correct answer push order” and “promotion push order”.
On the other hand, a push order in which a combination of symbols transitioning from an RT that is advantageous to the player (for example, RT having a high replay winning probability) to an unfavorable RT (for example, RT having a low replay winning probability) is stopped and displayed is “incorrect This is referred to as “push order” and “falling push order”.

The pull-in rate (PB) is the probability that a desired symbol to be stopped on the active line can be stopped on the active line from the moment when the stop switch is operated until the reel stops (maximum number of moving frames). Show.
If the stop switch is not operated at an appropriate reel position (at an operation timing at which the target symbol can be stopped on the active line within the range of the maximum number of moving frames), the target symbol is stopped on the active line (until the effective line is reached). Inability to pull in is referred to as “PB (retraction rate) ≠ 1”.
On the other hand, regardless of the position of the reel at the moment when the stop switch is operated (regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch), the target symbol can always be stopped (drawn) on the effective line. = 1 ”.

“PB = 1” has a case where all the reels are so in the role and a case where only the specific (partial) reels are.
In the present embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames is set to “4”, and when the target symbol is arranged at an interval of 5 symbols or less, “PB = 1” is obtained, exceeding 5 symbols (6 symbols or more). When arranged at intervals, “PB ≠ 1”.

In this specification, a data value with “B” at the end (in particular, 8 bits) means a binary number. Similarly, a numerical value with “H” at the end means a hexadecimal number. Specifically, for example, a numerical value indicating “16” in a decimal number is expressed as “00010000B” or “00010000 (B)” in a binary number, and “10H” or “10 (H)” in a hexadecimal number. .
However, for binary notation other than 8-bit data values, the end of “B” is omitted. For example, “0” in a notation such as “value is“ 0 ”” actually means a binary number of “00000000B”. Therefore, a numerical value without “B” at the end does not always mean that it is not a binary number. Similarly, a numerical value without “H” at the end does not always mean that it is not a hexadecimal number.

  In the case where the game progresses as “N−1” game, “N” game, “N + 1” game,... (“N” is an integer of 2 or more), the current game is “N” game. When it is an eye, the game of the “N” game is referred to as “current game”. In addition, the game of the “N-1” game is referred to as “previous game”, and when both the previous game and the previous game are included, it is referred to as “before the previous game”. On the other hand, the game of the “N + 1” game is referred to as “next game”, and if it includes both the next game and subsequent games, it is referred to as “next game and later”.

The “rendering rate” is a value calculated by the expected medal payout number / the number of medal inserted. When “1”, the current status is maintained, and when “1” is exceeded, the number of medals increases. If the number is less than “1”, the number of medals decreases.
In addition, the “medal payout number expectation value” is calculated by the sum of “winning probability of combination × number of payouts” for all the combinations to be selected in the game.
Furthermore, the “difference number” is a value calculated by “medal payout number (expected value) −medal insertion number”. When the medal insertion number is “3”, if the medal payout number (expected value) is “3”, the difference number is “± 0”, and if the medal payout number (expected value) exceeds “3”, When the difference number exceeds “0” and the medal payout number (expected value) is less than “3”, the difference number is less than “0”.

“Bet” refers to betting a medal (game medium) to play a game. In the present embodiment, the maximum (limit) number that can be bet is always set to three. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a normal game (non-special game) is set to 3 cards, and a special game (1BB game or the like) is set to other than 3, for example, 2 cards.
“Reservation” refers to crediting a medal into the slot machine 10, unlike the “bet”. “Storage” may be used to include a bet, but in this specification, “storage” is used to mean that “bet” is not included. In the present embodiment, the maximum (limit) number that can be stored is set to “50” regardless of the gaming state or the like.

  It is equivalent that the slot machine 10 “pays” a medal to the player and that the player “acquires” a medal. Therefore, from the viewpoint of the slot machine 10, “medal payout”, and from the player side, “medal acquisition”. For this reason, there are cases called “payout (number)” and “acquisition (number)”, which have the same meaning.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment.
As a typical control board provided in the slot machine 10, a main control board 60 and a sub control board 80 are provided.
The main control board 60 has an input port 51 and an output port 52, and includes an RWM 53, a ROM 54, a main CPU 55, etc. (not meant to include only those shown in FIG. 1).
In FIG. 1, a main control board 60 and peripheral devices for game progress including operation switches such as the bet switch 40 illustrated in FIG. 1 are electrically connected via an input port 51 or an output port 52. . The input port 51 is a connection unit to which signals such as operation switches are input, and the output port 52 is a connection unit that transmits signals to peripheral devices such as the motor 32.
In FIG. 1, the peripheral device for input is indicated by an arrow from the peripheral device to the main control board 60, and the peripheral device for output is indicated by an arrow from the main control board 60 to the peripheral device. It is shown (the same applies to the sub-control board 80).

The RWM 53 is a storage medium that can store (update) various data (variables) based on the progress of the game.
The ROM 54 is a storage medium that stores programs necessary for the progress of the game, various data (for example, a data table), and the like.
The main CPU 55 refers to a CPU provided on the main control board 60, and executes programs and calculations necessary for the progress of the game. Specifically, the lottery of the role, the drive control of the reel 31, and the winning Execute payout etc.
The main CPU 55 incorporates a register. In particular, in this embodiment, a plurality (for example, A register to L register, transmission register, etc.) are provided.

On the main control board 60, an MPU including an RWM 53, a ROM 54, a main CPU 55, and a register is mounted. Note that the RWM 53 and the ROM 54 may be provided outside the MPU inside the MPU.
An MPU including an RWM 83, a ROM 84, and a main CPU 85 is mounted on a sub control board 80 described later. Note that the RWM 83 and the ROM 84 may be provided outside the one installed in the MPU.

In FIG. 1, medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 43 are sent into the medal selector.
As shown in FIG. 1, the medal selector includes a passage sensor 43a, a blocker 45, and insertion sensors 44a and 44b (but not limited to these), and is electrically connected to the main control board 60. .
When a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 43, the passage sensor 43a is first detected.

  Further, a blocker 45 is provided on the downstream side of the passage sensor 43a. The blocker 45 is for permitting / disallowing the insertion of medals, and forms a medal passage for returning the medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 43 from the payout slot when the insertion of medals is not permitted. To do. On the other hand, when the insertion of medals is permitted, a medal passage for guiding medals inserted from the medal insertion port 43 to the hopper 35 is formed.

  Here, the blocker 45 is in a state where the insertion of medals is not permitted during the game (from the start of the rotation of the reels 31 until all the reels 31 are stopped and the payout corresponding to the winning combination is completed at the time of winning the winning combination). To do. That is, the blocker 45 permits the insertion of medals at least when a game is not being performed.

  On the further downstream side of the blocker 45, input sensors 44a and 44b (optical sensors) are provided. Therefore, the medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 43 are further detected by the insertion sensors 44a (upstream side) and 44b (downstream side) after being detected by the passage sensor 43a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the main control board 60 includes a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, a (left, middle, right) stop switch 42, and a settlement switch 46 as operation switches operated by the player. Connected.
The bet switch 40 (40a or 40b) is a switch operated by the player when betting a stored medal for the current game. In the present embodiment, a 1-bet switch 40a for inserting one medal and a 3-bet switch 40b for inserting three (maximum number) medals are provided.
In addition to this, a bet switch for two bets may be provided.
In the present embodiment, as described above, the slot machine 10 is a three-sheet dedicated machine, but a 1-bet switch 40a is provided. Even if the 1-bet switch 40a is operated (turned on) three times, three medals can be inserted.

The start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reels 31 (all of left, middle and right).
Furthermore, three stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three (left, middle, and right) reels 31 and are operated by the player when the corresponding reels 31 are stopped.
Further, the settlement switch 46 is a switch operated by the player when paying out (pays out) a medal that is bet and / or stored (credited) in the slot machine 10.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a medal display device (display substrate) is connected to the main control substrate 60. In practice, a relay board is provided between the main control board 60 and the medal display device, and the main control board 60 and the relay board, and the relay board and the medal display device are connected. In FIG. 1, the illustration of the relay board is omitted.

A storage number display LED 38 and an acquisition number display LED 39 are connected to the medal display device.
The storage number display LED 38 is an LED that displays the number of medals stored in the slot machine 10, and includes a digit that displays an upper digit and a digit that displays a lower digit. That is, the storage number display LED 38 displays two digits.
Here, “digit” means a display unit (display), and in the present embodiment, it is composed of a seven segment display (so-called 7-segment).

The storage number display LED 38 displays the number of stored medals, and in this embodiment, displays a number between “00” and “50” (integer).
For example, in a state where no medals are bet and stored, the display of the storage number display LED 38 is “00”. Here, when one medal is cared for, this one medal is bet for this game. If two more cards are added, three medals are bet for the game this time (when the bet limit is three). Therefore, when up to three medals are maintained, the medals are bet and not stored. As medals continue to be maintained, medals are stored in the slot machine 10 and the number of stored medals is displayed by the stored number display LED 38.

  In this embodiment, up to 50 medals can be stored. Therefore, when the number of stored sheets reaches 50 (when “50” is displayed on the stored number display LED 38), no more medals are stored. In this state, if a medal is maintained from the medal insertion slot 43, the maintained medal is returned from the payout slot by the blocker 45.

  Here, when a winning combination (small role) wins a medal and a medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out, the medal is given in the slot machine 10 in preference to the actual payout of the medal from the payout slot. Is stored. For example, in the case where the number of pools before winning a winning combination is “10”, when an 8 winning combination (push order correct answer bell) to be described later wins, the display of the stored number display LED 38 is updated from “10” to “18”. .

  Furthermore, when the winning number of the winning combination exceeds “50”, the portion exceeding “50” is actually paid out from the payout opening. For example, if the number of stored coins is “47” before winning a winning combination, and 8 medals are paid out by winning an 8 winning combination, 3 are stored and the storing number becomes “50”, which exceeds “50”. About 5 sheets are paid out from the payout opening.

  Further, at the time of replay winning, medals are not stored and paid out, and the number of medals bet in the current game are automatically bet for replay. For example, when this game is played with 3 bets (3 cards) and replay is won, 3 medals are automatically bet. Since the automatic bet based on the replay winning is the insertion of medals for replaying, even if the settlement (return) operation is performed thereafter, the medals cannot be settled.

  According to the “Rules for Game Machine Approval and Type Approval, etc.”, if the combination of symbols corresponding to replay is stopped on the active line, it is the operation of the condition device related to replay and not “winning”. Interpreted. However, in the present application (this specification and the like), the fact that the combination of symbols corresponding to replay has stopped on the active line is referred to as “replay winning”.

The acquisition number display LED 39 is an LED that displays the number of payouts (the number of players acquired) at the time of winning a winning combination, and is composed of a digit that displays an upper digit and a digit 4 that displays a lower digit. Therefore, the acquisition number display LED 39 displays two digits, like the storage number display LED 38.
The acquired number display LED 39 is “00” when there is no medal to be paid out. For example, when eight medals to be described later win a prize and eight medals are paid out, the display of the acquired number display LED 39 is: From “00” to “08”.
Note that the acquired number display LED 39 may be controlled to be turned off when there are no medals to be paid out. Alternatively, the upper digit may be turned off and only the lower digit may be displayed as “0”.

The acquisition number display LED 39 normally displays the acquisition number, but functions as an LED that displays the content (type) of the error when an error occurs.
Furthermore, the acquisition number display LED 39 functions as an LED for displaying information on the pressing order (pressing order instruction information) that is advantageous to the player during AT or the like. Therefore, the acquisition number display LED 39 in the present embodiment is an LED that also serves to display the acquisition number, error contents, and push order instruction information. Note that an advantageous push order notification is also executed by the image display device 23 connected to the sub-control board 80.

Here, a number corresponding to an advantageous push order is referred to as a “push order instruction number”, and a push order display using the acquisition number display LED 39 by the main control board 60 is referred to as a “push order instruction information display”. The display of the pressing order by the sub-control board 80 is referred to as “(correct answer) pressing order notification”.
Although details will be described later, when the push order instruction number is “A1”, the push order instruction information is “= 1”. In the present embodiment, “=” is displayed in the upper digit so as not to be mistaken and confused with the display of the number of acquisitions. Further, the notified pressing order is “left middle right”.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the main control board 60 is electrically connected with a motor 32 of a symbol display device and the like.
The symbol display device includes reels 31 (three in this embodiment) for displaying symbols, motors 32 for driving the reels 31, and a reel sensor 33 for detecting the position of the reels 31.

  The motor 32 is for rotating the reels 31, is connected to the center of rotation of each reel 31, and is controlled by a reel control means 66 described later. Here, the reel 31 includes a left reel 31, a middle reel 31, and a right reel 31, and a stop switch 42 that is operated when the left reel 31 is stopped is the left stop switch 42, and when the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop switch 42 to be operated is the middle stop switch 42, and the stop switch 42 to be operated when stopping the right reel 31 is the right stop switch 42.

The reel 31 is ring-shaped, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination) is attached is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof. The specific arrangement of symbols on the reel 31 will be described later.
Each reel 31 is provided with one (or two or more) index. The index is provided in a convex shape, for example, on the peripheral side surface of the reel 31 and is used when detecting whether the reel 31 has passed a predetermined position, whether it has rotated one time, or the like. Each index is detected by the reel sensor 33. The signal of the reel sensor 33 is electrically connected to the main control board 60. When the index detects (cuts) the reel sensor 33, the input signal is input to the main control board 60, and it is detected that the reel 31 has passed a predetermined position.

  Further, a symbol on the reference position at the moment when the reel sensor 33 detects the index of the reel 31 is stored in the ROM 54 in advance. Thereby, the symbol on the reference position at the moment when the index is detected can be detected.

  The main control board 60 is electrically connected with a medal payout device. The medal payout device includes a hopper 35 for storing medals, a hopper motor 36 that is driven when paying out medals of the hopper 35 from a payout port, and a payout for detecting medals paid out from the hopper motor 36. Sensors 37a and 37b are provided.

The medals that are maintained and received from the medal slot 43 are formed so as to be accommodated in the hopper 35 through a predetermined passage (also referred to as “chute part”).
The payout sensors 37a and 37b are provided with a payout sensor 37a on the upstream side and a payout sensor 37b on the downstream side, similarly to the input sensors 44a and 44b.

  The payout sensors 37a and 37b are arranged at a predetermined distance, and are configured to be detected by the payout sensor 37b after a predetermined time has elapsed since the medal was detected by the payout sensor 37a. Then, based on the timing when the payout sensors 37a and 37b are turned on / off, it is determined whether or not the medals have been paid out correctly.

For example, when the signals of the payout sensors 37a and 37b are both off despite the hopper motor 36 being driven, it is determined that no medal has been paid out, and a hopper error (no medal) is detected. Is done.
On the other hand, when at least one of the signals from the payout sensor 37a or 37b remains on, it is detected that a medal jam has occurred. Only one payout sensor 37 may be provided to detect the error.

Furthermore, an external signal (outer end signal) to the external concentrated terminal board 100 is output from a part of the output port 52 (in this embodiment, the output port 5).
Here, the “external signal” is a signal to be output to the outside of the slot machine 10 (a hall computer, a data counter installed in the hall, etc.) via the external concentration terminal board 100. In the present embodiment, an external signal 3 (RB signal), an external signal 2 (BB signal), an external signal 1 (AT (RT) signal), an error that has occurred in the slot machine 10 or a power failure has occurred. An external signal, an external signal indicating opening of the front door of the slot machine 10, a medal insertion signal, a medal payout signal, and the like are provided.

In FIG. 1, the sub-control board 80 controls the selection and output of effects (information) during the game and during the game standby.
Here, the main control board 60 and the sub control board 80 are electrically connected, and the main control board 60 (control command transmission means 72 described later) is unidirectionally connected to the sub control board 80 by parallel communication. Information necessary for production output (control command) is transmitted.
The main control board 60 and the sub control board 80 are not limited to being electrically connected but may be connected using optical communication means. Furthermore, both the electrical connection and the optical communication connection are not limited to parallel communication, and may be serial communication, or serial communication and parallel communication may be used in combination.

Similar to the main control board 60, the sub control board 80 includes an input port 81, an output port 82, an RWM 83, a ROM 84, a sub CPU 85, and the like.
1 is connected to the sub-control board 80 through the input port 81 or the output port 82 as shown in FIG. However, the peripheral device for production is not limited to these.
The RWM 83 is a storage medium capable of temporarily storing data and the like captured when the sub CPU 85 controls the production.
The ROM 84 is a storage medium that stores programs such as a lottery for production, various data, and the like as production data.

  The effect lamp 21 is made of an LED, for example, and lights up in a predetermined pattern when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The effect lamp 21 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31, and a back lamp for illuminating from behind the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window). Fluorescent lamps that illuminate the symbols on the reel 31 from above, and a frame lamp that is arranged on the front surface of the front cover of the slot machine 10 and blinks when winning a winning combination.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 is composed of a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, a dot display, and the like. Game information (special game and number of games during AT, number of games acquired, etc.) is displayed.

  2 and 3 are diagrams showing data stored in the RWM 53 and their contents. The data shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are data used in the description of the present embodiment, and the data stored in the RWM 53 is not limited to these data.

In FIG. 2, “_NB_INF_OUT” is a data storage area of the external signal control number. This external signal control number is updated during the game end check process. As shown in FIG. 2, normally, it takes a value of “0 (00000000B)”. In addition, when the 1BB game ends (when the 1BB operation ends), 2BB game ends (when the 2BB operation ends), and the number of AT games is exhausted (when there is no AT stock), a value of “1 (00000001B)” is taken.
Furthermore, when the transition condition (AT start condition) from the main game state 2 (AT preparation) to the main game state 3 (AT) is satisfied, a value of “2 (00000010B)” is taken. Furthermore, when 1BB or 2BB is displayed (winning), the value is “3 (00000011B)”, and when the number of AT games is digested (when AT stock is present), the value is “4 (00000100B)”.

“_FL_INF_OUT” is a data storage area of the external signal flag. Of the 8-bit data of the external signal flag, the D2 bit corresponds to the external signal 3 flag, the D3 bit corresponds to the external signal 2 flag, and the D4 bit corresponds to the external signal 1 flag. These external signal 1 to 3 flags are turned on (“1”) and off (“0”) according to the external signal control number. Specifically, when the external signal control number is “1” (end of 1BB operation, end of 2BB operation, end of AT), the external signals 1 to 3 are all turned off.
On the other hand, when the external signal control number is “2” (when the main game state 2 shifts to 3; that is, when AT starts), the external signals 1 to 3 are all turned on.

Further, when the external signal control number is “3” (when 1BB or 2BB is displayed (winning)), the external signal 1 flag and the external signal 2 flag are turned off, and the external signal 3 flag is turned on.
Furthermore, when the external signal control number is “4” (at the end of AT and when AT stock is present), the external signal 1 flag and the external signal 2 flag are turned on, and the external signal 3 flag is turned off.

  As will be described later, the external signal 1 flag is transmitted as an AT signal to the external concentrated terminal board 100, the external signal 2 flag is transmitted as a BB signal to the external concentrated terminal board 100, and the external signal 3 flag is externally transmitted as an RB signal. It is transmitted to the concentrated terminal board 100. Therefore, the signals corresponding to these external signals 1 to 3 flag are not signals indicating that the BB is operating, the RB is operating, or the AT itself, but which of the above states is due to the on / off of these three signals. It becomes a signal which shows.

  “_TM_GAME” is a timer for monitoring the minimum game time of one game, “1836” is set as an initial value, and “1” is subtracted for each interrupt. The minimum game time of this embodiment is set to “4.1 seconds” (2.235 ms × 1836≈4100 ms).

“_NB_RT_STS” is a storage area for storing an RT gaming state number. In this embodiment, there are four types of RT gaming states, “0” (non-RT) to “3” (RT3), and data indicating which RT gaming state is the current RT gaming state. Remember.
“_NB_GAM_STS” is a storage area for storing the main game state number. In the present embodiment, there are six types of “main game state 0” to “main game state 5” as main game states, and a number indicating which main game state is the current main game state is stored. To do. For example, when the main game state is 0, “0” is stored.

  “_CT_GAM_STS” is a storage area for storing a precursor counter value and an AT counter value. In the present embodiment, during non-AT (a state in which the right to execute AT is not held) called so-called “during normal operation”, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to execute AT based on the selected condition device. When it is decided to execute AT, the precursor counter value is decided by lottery. The precursor counter value is determined as a decimal number in the range of “0” to “32”, and the determined value is stored in the storage area of the address. Then, for each game, the counter value is decremented by “1”, and when it becomes “0”, it shifts to AT preparation (game state in the previous stage of executing AT).

Further, the AT stores an initial value of the number of games played by the AT (for example, “50” in decimal) at the address. Then, for each game, the counter value is decremented by “1”, and when it becomes “0”, AT ends.
In addition, since the sign (non-AT) and the AT do not proceed at the same time, the sign counter that counts the number of sign games and the AT counter that counts the number of games in the AT are combined with one address. (The storage capacity of the RWM 53 can be reduced).

“_NB_ORD_INF” is a storage area for storing a push order instruction number. In the present embodiment, a push order advantageous to the player is assigned to a part of the winning and replay condition devices, and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a push order instruction number corresponding to the winning condition device is assigned. Obtained (selected) and stored at this address. Note that the push order instruction numbers in the present embodiment are “A0” to “A9”.
Note that “when a predetermined condition is satisfied” is when the current main game state is a push order instruction state. Accordingly, in the push order instruction state, the push order instruction number is acquired and stored in the RWM 53. However, when not in the push order instruction state, acquisition of the push order instruction number and storage (update) in the RWM 53 are not executed. .

  “_NB_ACT_GRP” is a storage area for storing the production group number. In this embodiment, when lottery of condition devices is performed, an effect group number corresponding to the selected condition device is selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 20 described later, when the selected condition device is Replay C, “3” is selected as the effect group number, and “3” is stored.

  In FIG. 3, “_FL_WIN” is a symbol combination display flag storage area. In this embodiment, 2BB is assigned to the D0 bit and 1BB is assigned to the D2 bit. For example, when it is determined that the symbol combination corresponding to 1BB has stopped, the D2 bit is set to “1”. The bit is changed from “1” to “0” when the next game starts (when the start switch 41 is operated).

“_FL_ACTION” is a data storage area of an operation state flag. In this embodiment, 2BB is assigned to the D0 bit, CB is assigned to the D1 bit, 1BB is assigned to the D2 bit, and RB is assigned to the D3 bit. In other words, the operation state flag in the present embodiment is a flag indicating the operation of the special game.
For example, during the 2BB game, the CB is configured to operate continuously. In this case, the D0 and D1 bits are “1”. 2BB and 1BB are assigned to the same bit in the symbol combination display flag and the operating state flag.

In the current rules, 1BB is referred to as “first-type accessory continuous operating device”, and 2BB is referred to as “second-type accessory continuous operating device”.
The first-type accessory continuous operating device refers to a device that can continuously operate the first-type special accessory, and the “first-type special accessory” refers to RB (regular bonus). .
Similarly, the second-type accessory continuous operation device refers to a device that can continuously operate the second-type special accessory, and the “first-special accessory” refers to a CB (challenge bonus). Point to.
That is, RB can be operated continuously during 1BB game, and CB can be operated continuously during 2BB game.

  “_FL_RET_AT” is an AT return flag. In AT (main game state 3), the RT that stays is in principle RT2 (replay high probability state), but when RT falls to non-RT or RT1 due to a mistake in pressing the stop switch 42, until RT returns to RT2. , AT is returning. This flag is turned on when the AT is returning. Control during AT recovery will be described later.

“_FL_ACT_REP” is a replay operation flag, which is turned on at the start of the game of the current game and turned off at the end of the game when the replay is won in the previous game.
In the present embodiment, the operation state flag described above is a flag related to a special game, and a replay operation flag is provided separately from the operation state flag. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to assign a replay to a specific bit of the operation state flag and use the bit as a replay operation flag.

  “_NB_CND_NOR” is a storage area for winning (small role) and replay condition device number, lottery of condition devices is performed, and values corresponding to the winning winning and replay condition device are stored in this storage area. The value stored here is used for selection of a stop position determination table used for stop control of the reel 31, AT lottery (addition during AT), selection of a push order instruction number, selection of an effect group number, and the like.

The “winning and replay condition device” means a so-called small role and a winning combination related to replay, and does not include a special combination that carries over the winning.
In this embodiment, winning and replay condition device numbers “0” to “30”, which are condition devices that do not carry the winning information to the next game, are provided. Then, for example, when the winning condition and the replay condition device number “1” are won as a result of lottery of the condition device in this game, “1” is stored in “_NB_CND_NOR”.

On the other hand, “_NB_CND_BNS” is a storage area of an accessory condition device number that can carry the winning information after the next game. In this embodiment, “0 (non- “Winning”, “1 (when winning 1BB)”, or “2 (when winning 2BB)” is stored. This value is also used for selection of a stop position determination table used for stop control of the reel 31 as described above. Further, it may be used for AT lottery (addition during AT), selection of production group number, and the like.
“_FL_PRD_LOT” is a special condition equipment operation flag. When the winning of 1BB or 2BB is not carried over, “0” is stored, and when the winning is carried over, “FF (11111111B)” is stored. Remembered.
The special combination condition device operation flag is stored in the current game if the special combination has been won by the previous game (when “1” or “2” is stored as the value of the combination condition device number) This is a flag for determining whether the game has been played or stored before the previous game), and is turned on at the end of the game when the special role is won. By providing this flag, a lottery related to the AT is executed in the game won by the special combination, but the lottery related to the AT can not be executed after the next game of the game won by the special combination. . As the equipment condition device number, “1” or “2” is stored at the time of winning the special role, so it can be determined that the special condition device number has been won by the special condition device number. Since it is not possible to determine whether or not the special combination is won in the game this time, the special combination condition device operation flag is newly provided in the present embodiment.

For example, when a condition device is drawn at the start of the game and 1BB is won, “1” is stored as the value of the above-mentioned accessory condition device number. At this time, the value of the special combination condition device operation flag remains “0”. Then, at the end of the current game (game end check process), the value of the special combination condition device operation flag is updated from “0” to “FF”.
When the next game is started, the value of the accessory condition device number is “1” and the value of the special condition device activation flag is “FF” at the start of the game. These “1” and “FF” values are maintained until the winning 1BB wins.
In the following description, when there is no particular confusion between the accessory condition device and the winning and replay condition device, they may be simply referred to as “condition devices”.

  “_BF_SUBCMD” is a storage area of the control command buffer (ring buffer), and stores a control command to be transmitted to the sub-control board 80. For example, 64 bytes are secured in this storage area. The control commands are stored in the control command buffer in the order of addresses. When a control command is stored at the final address, the next address at which the control command is stored becomes the head address.

Although illustration is omitted, the RWM 53 is provided with a storage area for a control command read pointer value, and stores which address of the control command buffer should be read. When data in the control command buffer at the address is read, it is incremented by “1”.
Similarly, the RWM 53 is provided with a storage area for the control command write pointer value and stores in which address of the control command buffer the control command should be written. When a control command is written to the control command buffer at the address, “1” is incremented.

Subsequently, a combination of the present embodiment, a combination of symbols, and the like will be described.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 4, symbol numbers are also illustrated. For example, in the left reel 31, the symbol of symbol number 0 is “replay”.
As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, each reel 31 is equally divided into 20 frames, and a predetermined symbol is displayed on each frame.
In the figure, “blank” does not mean that a symbol is not displayed at all, and a predetermined symbol corresponding to “blank” is displayed.

5A shows the positional relationship between the display window (transparent window) 11 provided on the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10 and each reel 31, and the effective line (design). FIG.
In this embodiment, three reels 31 (left reel 31, middle reel 31, and right reel 31) are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction in this embodiment. Further, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from the display window 11. Accordingly, the display windows 11 of the slot machine 10 are arranged so that a total of nine symbols (frames) can be seen. The numbers on the lower right of each symbol indicate the symbol number.

FIG. 5B illustrates the designation of symbol positions in this specification. In the present specification, for each reel 31, the symbol positions at the time of stopping as seen from the display window 11 are referred to as “upper stage”, “middle stage”, and “lower stage” in order from the top. ”,“ Middle left ”, and“ lower left ”.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5A, effective lines are set for nine symbols that can be seen from the display window 11.

  Here, the “effective line” is a symbol combination line (display line) that is a symbol arrangement line when the reel 31 is stopped, and forms a symbol combination, and a symbol corresponding to one of the roles. When the combination stops at that line, it is the line that wins the role. In the present embodiment, one effective line (a straight line passing through “left middle stage”-“middle middle stage”-“right middle stage”) is defined, and all other symbol combination lines are invalid lines. Yes.

  An invalid line is a line that is not set as a valid line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on that line, a profit corresponding to the combination is given. This line does not perform (medal payout etc.). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

  Conventionally, there are known slot machines in which the number of effective lines differs according to the number of medals inserted. For example, when the number of inserted medals is 1, the number of effective lines is set to 1. When the number of inserted medals is 2, the number of effective lines is set to 3. When the number of inserted medals is 3, the number of effective lines is set to 5. And so on. On the other hand, in this embodiment, during the game, three medals are always inserted to play the game, and in all games, one of the medals shown in FIG. There is no change in the number of effective lines. Therefore, in this specification, the term “effective line” refers to a straight middle line shown in FIG.

6 to 9 are diagrams showing combinations of combinations of types (combinations included in a condition device lottered by a combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and the like in the present embodiment. In FIG. 9, special symbols (specific symbols) 01 to 03 (spilled eyes) are also illustrated as combinations of symbols that may not be played but may be displayed when a specific condition device is won. (FIG. 29, role numbers “64” to “75” (described later)).
The roles of the present embodiment are roughly classified into special roles, replays (replaying roles), and small roles.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. When all the reels 31 are stopped, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (the combination wins, the same applies hereinafter), the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out.
However, the number of payouts at the time of winning a special role is set to 0. In replay, medals are automatically inserted (replay).

  As shown in FIG. 6, the special combination includes 1BB (first type big bonus) (type number “1”) and 2BB (second type big bonus, sometimes referred to as middle bonus (MB).) (The role number “2”) is provided. Other special roles include RB (regular bonus), SB (single bonus), etc., but are not provided in this embodiment.

The special role is a role to shift from the normal game to the special game.
When winning 1BB, there is no payout of medals in the current game, but the next game shifts to 1BB game corresponding to a special game. Similarly, when 2BB is won, the medal is not paid out in the current game, but the next game shifts to the 2BB game corresponding to the special game.
Both 1BB games and 2BB games are advantageous for the players, who can expect to win more medals than normal games (non-AT, non-special games) by setting the payout rate to exceed “1”. Game.

In addition, the replay (re-playing combination) is a combination that allows a re-playing that maintains the number of medals inserted in the current game (automatic bets on medals).
As shown in FIG. 6, the replay according to the present embodiment includes replays 01 to 06 (part numbers “3” to “8”).
Replays 01 and 02, and replays 03 and 04 are replays that shift to another RT when a prize is awarded in a specific RT. Therefore, these replays are also referred to as transition replays.

More specifically, when the replay 01 or 02 wins at RT1 or RT2, the next game is shifted to non-RT (RT moving away from RT2, which is RT advantageous to the player). For this reason, the replays 01 and 02 are also referred to as falling replays.
Further, when Replay 03 or 04 wins in RT1, the next game is shifted to RT2 (RT that is more advantageous to the player than the previous RT). For this reason, replays 03 and 04 are also referred to as promoted replays.

The replay 05 is first used as a control replay for the purpose of increasing the types of condition devices by overlapping a plurality of replays, and in this embodiment, the replay B2 in the condition device described later. , B4, and B6. When the replays B2, B4, and B6 are won, the replay 05 as the control replay does not stop at the active line.
Furthermore, the replay 05 is secondly used as a rare replay and corresponds to a replay C (replay 05) of a condition device described later. At the time of replay C winning, lottery related to AT (initial winning lottery, continuous lottery, extra lottery) is executed under certain conditions (FIGS. 16 and 17 described later).
In addition, the replay 06 is first used as a replay (replay D) having a possibility of overlapping with 1BB (FIG. 14 to be described later).
Furthermore, the replay 06 is secondly used as a rare replay and corresponds to a replay D (replay 06) of a condition device described later. When Replay D is won, a lottery regarding the AT (first lottery, continuous lottery) is executed under certain conditions (FIG. 16 to be described later).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the small combination includes small combinations 01 to 31 (portions “9” to “63”). Note that the number of payouts for the small roles 01, 30 and 31 is set to eight, and the number of payouts for the small roles 02 to 25 is set to one. Further, the payout number of the small combinations 26 to 29 is set to three.

The small roles 01 to 29 are roles included in a condition device of a so-called push order bell (small roles A1 to C6).
The small combinations 30 and 31 are used as rare small combinations, and are set to perform AT lottery or the like when winning. In particular, in the combination of symbols of the small role 30, the symbol of the left reel 31 is “cherry”.

  Special figures 01 to 03 are not the roles themselves as described above, but when the winning combination is missed when the push order is incorrect when winning the small roles A1 to B6 (when the winning combination is not won) It is a combination of symbols that appear. Further, the special figure is a combination of symbols that shifts RT (shifts to RT1 in this embodiment) when the symbol combination stops at the effective line in a specific RT (non-RT or RT2 in this embodiment). .

In each of the above-mentioned combinations, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination does not stop on the active line in the game selected for the combination, a combination that is carried over after the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined. .
The combination carried over is a special combination (1BB and 2BB in this embodiment). When a special role is won, in the game until the special role is won, the winning information of the special role is controlled to be carried over after the next game.

  On the other hand, the winning of special roles is carried over, while small roles and replays other than special roles are not carried over. In the lottery of the condition device, when winning a small combination or replay, the winning combination is valid only in the current game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game. That is, in the game won for these winning combinations, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be won, but at the end of the game regardless of whether or not the winning combination is won. The right to the elected role will cease.

  A game in which a special role is not won (a game in which a special role is not carried over) is referred to as “non-inside”. In addition, a game in which a special role has been won in a game before the previous game but the selected special role has not been won (during a game in which the special role is carried over) is referred to as “inside”. In this embodiment, the game won for the special role is included in the “non-inside” (because the special role is not carried over), but the game won for the special role is “inside”. May be included.

  At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 43, and operates (turns on) the start switch 41. When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control board 60. When receiving this signal, the main control board 60 (specifically, a reel control means 66 described later) controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31. As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 at a predetermined speed.

  Then, the player presses the stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42). When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control board 60. When receiving this signal, the main control board 60 (specifically, a reel control means 66 described later) drives and controls the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 to stop the reel 31 related to the motor 32. I do.

  Then, the game result of the current game is displayed by the combination of symbols when all the reels 31 are stopped. Furthermore, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations stops on the active line (when the winning combination of the winning combination), a medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.

Next, a specific configuration of the main control board 60 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main CPU 55 of the main control board 60 includes the following role lottery means 61 and the like. The following means in the present embodiment are exemplifications and are not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment.

The role lottery means 61 performs lottery (determination, selection) of the condition device (that is, the winning combination). Here, the “condition device” is a winning lottery object composed of one or a plurality of roles. For example, when one condition device is won (determined or selected), the winning combination included in the condition device is won.
Therefore, the combination lottery means 61 is also referred to as a condition device determination (lottery or selection) means, a winning combination determination (lottery or selection) means, and the like.

Also, “winning condition device” is also referred to as a role lottery result, a winning number, a winning result, or the like.
The role lottery means 61 includes, for example, a lottery random number generation means (hardware random number, etc.), a random number extraction means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generation means, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means. And determining means for determining whether the condition device has been won or not and determining the selected condition device. Such a lottery method is the same in the following AT lottery.

  The random number generation means generates random numbers in a predetermined area (for example, “0” to “65535” in decimal numbers). The random number is, for example, a random number for which a counter that performs 1 count at 200 n (nano) sec continues to count as a cycle in a range of “0” to “65535”. While the slot machine 10 is powered on, the random number Keep counting.

  The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined time, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) by the player. The determination means determines the condition device corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction means with a condition device lottery table to be described later. For example, if the extracted random number value belongs to the area of the winning and replay condition device number “1” (replay A), it is determined that the replay A is won.

10 to 13 are diagrams showing the types of condition devices that are selected by the combination lottery means 61 and the contents of the winning combination included in each condition device.
In the following description, the condition device will be mainly described, and details of the stop control of the reel 31 based on the pressing order and the operation timing (mesh) when the condition device is won will be described in the reel control means 66. .

The condition device according to the present embodiment includes a “conditional condition device” that is a condition device that can carry winning information to the next game, and a “winning and replay condition device” that is a condition device that does not carry the winning information to the next game. Become.
The accessory condition device corresponds to the winning of a special combination (1BB or 2BB in the present embodiment), and includes the accessory condition device numbers “1” to “2”.
The equipment condition device number “0” corresponds to a non-winning special role, the equipment condition device number “1” corresponds to 1BB winning, and the equipment condition device number “2” wins 2BB. Equivalent to.

For example, when the replay A is won, the accessory condition device number is “0”, and the winning and replay condition device number is “1”.
When 1BB is won, the accessory condition device number is “1” and the winning and replay condition device number is “0”.
Furthermore, when 1BB + Replay D is won, the accessory condition device number is “1”, and the winning and replay condition device number is “9”.
When a special combination and a small combination or replay are won, the winning of the small combination or replay is given priority in this game (the priority can be arbitrarily set). In addition, since the winning of the small role or replay is effective only in the current game, the winning is not carried over to the next game, but the winning of the special role is carried over to the next game unless winning.

Hereinafter, the winning and replay condition apparatus will be described.
The condition device number “0” corresponds to a non-winning role (so-called “losing”).
In addition, the replay A with the condition device number “1” is the single winning of the replay 01. When Replay A is won, Replay 01 wins regardless of push order (in any push order).

Replays B1 to B6 of condition device numbers “2” to “6” are duplicate winnings of a plurality of types of replays, and include at least one of replays 01 or 02 and any one of replays 03 to 04. Winning. Then, depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42, there are a case where the replay 01 or 02 wins and a case where the replay 03 or 04 wins.
For example, in the replay B1 with the condition device number “2”, the replay 03 wins in the left middle right push order, and the replay 01 wins in the push order other than the left middle right (five ways).

  In the case of replay overlap winning, there is no concept of high / low because the replay (re-gamer) wins in any push order. However, when a replay overlap win is made in RT2, a replay that maintains the current RT is won in one pressing order, and a replay that shifts (falls) RT is awarded in the other pressing order. In addition, when a replay overlap win is made in RT1, a replay that shifts (promotes) RT is awarded in one pressing order, and a replay that shifts (falls) RT is also awarded in the other pressing order.

When Replay B1 is won, the left middle right push order corresponds to the push order to shift to RT2, so it becomes the correct (promotion) push order, and the push order other than left middle right corresponds to the push order to move to non-RT. This corresponds to the order of pressing the incorrect answer (falling).
As for the replays B2 to B6 of the condition device numbers “3” to “7”, similarly to the replay B1, any one pressing order is the correct pressing order for winning the replay 03 or 04, and the other pressing order is the replay 01. Or it becomes an incorrect answer pressing order to win 02.

Replay C of the condition device number “8” is a single winning of replay 05. When Replay C is won, Replay 05 wins regardless of push order.
Similarly, the replay D of the condition device number “9” is a single winning of the replay 06. When Replay D is won, Replay 06 wins regardless of push order. These replays 05 and 06 have a role as a rare replay. In particular, in the present embodiment, the replay D (replay 06) is a replay having the possibility of overlapping with 1BB. Therefore, when the replay 06 is stopped and displayed, there are a case where the replay 06 is won alone and a case where the 1BB and the replay 06 are overlapped and the replay 06 wins in this game.

In FIG. 11, the small combinations A1 to A6 of the condition device numbers “10” to “15” correspond to a so-called push order bell, and a small combination 01 (eight-piece combination) and a small combination 02 to 25 (one-piece combination). It is a duplicate winning including.
When these condition devices are selected, according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42, when the correct answer pressing order is set, “PB = 1” and a small combination 01 which is a high-level bell (eight bells) wins. On the other hand, if the order is incorrect, the small combination 02-25 (single combination) wins according to the operation timing of the stop switch 42 (the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated). And a case where none of the small roles wins (a case where a special figure is displayed due to missing).
When the small roles 02 to 25 win, the next game shifts to non-RT. Therefore, the small combinations 02 to 25 are RT transition small combinations. When a special figure is displayed, the process proceeds to RT1.

In FIG. 12, the small roles B1 to B6 of the condition device numbers “16” to “21” correspond to the so-called push order bells as in the above small roles A1 to A6. , And double winnings including small roles 02 to 25 (single-piece roles).
When these condition devices are selected, according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42, when the correct answer is pressed, the small combination 28 that is “PB = 1” and is a high-level bell (three bells) wins. On the other hand, when the order is incorrect, the small combination 02 to 25 (single combination) wins according to the operation timing of the stop switch 42 (in the case of shifting to non-RT), and both are small. There is also a case where a winning combination is not won (a case where a special figure is displayed due to oversight and a transition is made to RT1).

Since the small roles A1 to A6 are paid out in the high-order winning prize, when the correct answer is pushed, the number of in (inserted number) is 3, and the number of out (paid out number) is 8. +5 ". Therefore, the number of medals increases when the correct answer is in the pushing order, and the condition device decreases the number of medals when the answer is incorrect (the number of payouts is 1 or 0).
On the other hand, since the small roles B1 to B6 are paid out at the time of high-rank winning, when the correct answer is pushed, the number of in (inserted number) is 3, and the number of out (paid out number) is 3. The difference sheet number is “± 0 sheet”. Therefore, when the correct answer is the push order, the number of medals is maintained as it is, and when the incorrect answer is the push order (the payout number is 1 or 0), the condition device decreases the number of medals.

In FIG. 13, the small roles C1 to C6 of the condition device numbers “22” to “27” correspond to so-called push order bells as in the small roles A1 to A6, and at least of the small roles 26 to 29. It is a duplicate winner including two.
When winning a small combination C1 to C6, depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42, any of the small combinations 26 to 29 included in the selected condition device wins in any pressing order. Regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 42, any of the pressing orders is “PB = 1”, and any of the small combinations 26 to 29 wins a prize (not missing, that is, there is no special figure display). Further, since the payout numbers of the small roles 26 to 29 are all three, when these condition devices are selected, three ins and three outs are obtained.

  Then, when winning the small combination C1 to C6, the small combination to be won depends on the pressing order of the stop switch 42. As shown in FIG. 13, when the small combination 28 or 29 wins, RT is not shifted. On the other hand, when the small combination 26 or 27 wins, it shifts to non-RT. Therefore, the small combinations 26 and 27 become RT transition small combinations.

The small combination D1 of the condition device number “28” has a role as a so-called rare small combination, and when the small combination D1 is won, a lottery regarding the AT is executed. The small role D1 is a winning combination of the small roles 30 and 31, and is set to “PB = 1” by adding the combinations of symbols of both roles.
Similarly to the small role D1, the small role D2 with the condition device number “29” has a role as a so-called rare small role, and when the small role D2 is won, a lottery regarding the AT is executed. The small role D1 is a single winning of the small role 30. Although the details of the combination of symbols of the small role 30 will be described later, since “PB ≠ 1” is arranged, when the small role D2 is won, the small role 30 can be won and cannot be won ( To have a case.
Furthermore, the small combination E having the condition device number “30” is a conditional device that is randomly selected in the RB game in the 1BB game, and is a double winning combination of the small combination 01 to the small combination 31.

FIG. 14 shows winning probabilities determined by the condition device lottery table when the condition device lottery means 61 performs the lottery, and for each RT, the item condition device, the winning and replay condition device, and the winning It is a figure which shows a probability (numerical value).
The conditional device lottery table defines the winning probability of the conditional device for each RT. The numerical value shown in FIG. 14 is a value for the number “65536”. For example, the 1BB probability number “284” displayed in the top column indicates that the winning probability is “284/65536”.

In FIG. 14, the two condition devices from the top indicate the accessory condition device numbers “1” to “2”. Further, the third and subsequent condition devices from the top indicate winning and replay condition device numbers “1” to “30”.
As shown in FIG. 14, the RT of this embodiment has non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, 1BB game, and 2BB game.

Non-RT, RT1, and RT2 are not inside, and RT3 is inside.
As a result, for non-RT, RT1, RT2 (non-inside), the special role lottery is performed, so the accessory condition device numbers “1” to “2” are drawn (probability numbers are “1” or more). Set to).
Furthermore, the accessory condition device number “1” (1BB) and the winning and replay condition device “9” (replay D) are set to have a case where the winning combination is repeated. The number of the winning combination of 1BB and Replay D is set to “163” as shown in FIG. Therefore, the number of winning numbers for 1BB alone is “284”, and the number of winning numbers for Replay D is “163”.
Also, in the RT3, 1BB game, and 2BB game, the accessory condition device is not drawn.

Non-RT, RT1, RT2, and RT3 all mean lottery states with different types (numbers) and / or winning probabilities of at least one lottery object, and therefore replays that are subject to lottery in these four RTs. The winning probabilities are different.
In RT3 which is inside, only replay A is drawn by lottery.

Further, in non-RT, RT1, and RT2, replay D is drawn by lottery. Furthermore, the replay C is drawn only at RT2.
Although details will be described later, in the present embodiment, a lottery related to AT is executed when a rare replay (Replay C and Replay D) is won, but after RT3 (inside), a lottery related to AT is not performed. .
However, if a rare play is displayed after the transition to RT3, the player may have an impression that the player has drawn the AT lottery target role under RT where AT lottery is not performed, and that the player has been wasted. is there. Therefore, after the transition to RT3, the rare replay lottery itself is not performed and the rare replay is not displayed in RT3.
In addition, in order to prevent the rare replay from being displayed after the transition to RT3, the replay C and the replay D may be set to a condition device that does not win a special role in a non-internal state (in this embodiment, the replay C is set that way). By doing in this way, when replay C or replay D is won when moving to RT3 in the interior, the condition device becomes “special role (for example, 1BB) + replay C (or replay D)”. The condition apparatus is different between the inside and the inside. The stop control of the reel 31 can be changed using such a difference in the condition device. However, as in this embodiment, when it is set so that the special winning combination is duplicated in the non-inside, the same condition device is used in the non-inside and inside, so the stop control of the reel 31 is changed. I can't do it. Therefore, as described above, after the transition to RT3, it is preferable that the rare replay is not displayed in RT3 by not performing the lottery of the rare replay itself.

When comparing non-RT and RT3, a probability value (326) corresponding to the winning of Replay D is allocated to Replay A in RT3. For this reason, when comparing non-RT and RT3, the winning probability of the combined replay is the same (probability number “9141”) for non-RT and RT3.
The reason for this setting is that the winning probability of replay (the number and type of replays to be won) can be made different between different RTs.

In non-RT, replay A and replay D are provided as condition devices corresponding to winning of replay, and other replays are not drawn.
In RT1 and RT2, replay A is not drawn, but replays B1 to B6 are drawn.
Replay C is drawn only at RT2. In RT2, the replay C lottery is performed, and when the replay C is won, a lottery regarding the AT is performed.

RT2 is set to have the highest replay win probability than other RTs (the replay sum is a probability figure of “42763” and the win probability is about “1 / 1.5”). Therefore, if the payout number at the time of replay winning is counted as “3” (the inserted number is “3”), RT2 has the highest expected value of the medal payout number than other RTs. Therefore, it can be said that RT is more advantageous to the player than other RTs. In particular, since RT2 is an RT that is controlled so as to stay in the AT, the winning probability of replay is set to be the highest.
In the 1BB game and the RB game of the present embodiment, replay is not drawn by lottery. It is also possible to draw lots of condition devices including replays in 1BB games and RB games.

The winning probabilities of the small roles A1 to C6 and the small roles D1 and D2 corresponding to the push order bells are set to the same probability in non-RT, RT1, RT2, and RT3 which are non-special games.
In the 1BB game and the 2BB game, the small combination A1 to the small combination D2 are not lottery.
In the 1BB game, only the small role E is drawn. Since the probability figure is “65536”, the winning probability is “1”.
In the 2BB game, the lottery of the condition device is not performed. However, in the 2BB game, the winning flag of all the small combinations of the small combination E, that is, the small combination 01 to the small combination 31, is turned on. Thereby, it becomes a game in which any small combination can win a prize.

Returning to FIG.
The winning flag control means 62 controls on / off of winning flags corresponding to each combination based on the lottery result by the combination lottery means 61. In this embodiment, a winning flag is provided for each combination for all combinations. When any of the condition devices is won in the lottery by the combination lottery means 61, the winning flag of the combination included in the condition device is turned on (the winning flag is set).

For example, in a non-internal game, when the replay B1 is won, the two winning flags Replay 01 and Replay 03 included in the condition device are turned on, and the winning flags of the other roles are turned off.
Similarly, in a non-inside medium game, when winning a small combination A1, five winning flags of small combination 01, small combination 10, small combination 11, small combination 18 and small combination 19 included in the condition device are displayed. The winning flag for other roles is turned off.

In addition, as described above, winnings for small roles other than special roles and replays are not carried over, so even if winning a small role or replay in this game and the winning flag for these roles is turned on, At the end, the winning flag is turned off.
On the other hand, since the winning of the special role is carried over, when the special role is won in the game this time and the winning flag related to the selected special role is once turned on, the state of being on will remain on until the special role wins. It is maintained and turned off when the special role wins.

For example, if the winning lottery means 61 wins 1BB alone, the 1BB winning flag is turned on in the current game, and if the 1BB is not won in the current game, the 1BB winning flag is kept on.
Furthermore, in the next game, when winning the small role A1, in addition to 1BB carrying over the winning, a total of six winnings including small role 01, small role 10, small role 11, small role 18 and small role 19 If the flag is turned on and 1BB does not win at the end of the game this time, the winning flag of 1BB is kept on, and small role 01, small role 10, small role 11, small role 18 and small role 19 The winning flag is turned off.

The AT lottery means 63 performs an AT lottery (initial lottery, continuation (stock number) lottery, AT lottery extra lottery) according to the main game state currently staying and the winning condition device. Is.
First, an outline of the main game state will be described. In this embodiment, as described above, non-RT, RT1 to RT3, 1BB game, and 2BB game are provided as the plurality of RTs.
Furthermore, the main game state is provided as a concept different from RT. The main game state is a concept indicating whether or not it is an AT, a special game, or the like, the transition of which is controlled by a main game state control means 70 described later.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing main game states 0 to 5 according to the present embodiment, their contents, and presence / absence of a pressing order instruction.
As shown in FIG. 15, the main gaming state 0 is so-called normal (during non-AT and when AT is not won). If the AT is won in the main game state 0, the game state becomes the main game state 1 (AT precursor), and then the main game state 2 (AT preparation) and the main game state 3 (AT) are shifted to. Specific migration will be described later.
The main game state 4 is a main game state corresponding to 1BB game, and the main game state 5 is a main game state corresponding to 2BB game.

  When the special role is won, the RT game state will transition to the inside from the next game of the game won for the special role, but the main game state will also change in accordance with the transition of the RT game state to the inside. It can be considered to shift to the main game state dedicated to the inside. However, in this embodiment, even if the special combination is won, the main game state is not shifted unless the special combination wins and shifts to the special game. In addition, the lottery regarding AT will not be performed from the next game of the game won for the special role. For this reason, for example, even in the main game state 0 (so-called normal (non-AT)), after the next game (inside) that won the special role, the rare role (AT lottery trigger role) that triggers the AT lottery ) The lottery regarding AT is not executed even if it is won.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, since the special condition device activation flag (_FL_PRD_LOT) that is turned on at the end of the game won for the special role is provided, the value of the special condition device activation flag is determined and turned on ( FF), control is performed so that a lottery related to AT is not executed even for a game in which the main game state is 0 and the game is won as an AT lottery opportunity.

  Furthermore, in FIG. 15, the “push order indication state” indicates whether or not the correct answer push order is instructed (displayed) when winning the push order bell or the like. Indicates the main game state instructing the correct push order (in the push order instruction state), and “×” indicates the main game state in which the correct push order is not instructed (not in the push order instruction state). Show.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the contents of the AT (first win) lottery and the AT continuation (stock) lottery. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the contents of an AT (number of games) extra lottery.
In FIG. 16, as shown in “(1) AT (first win) lottery”, AT (first win) lottery includes main game state 0, main game state 4 (1BB game), and main game state 5 (2BB game). Is executed.
Here, the “AT (first win) lottery” is a lottery performed when the AT is not won (does not have the right to perform AT), and refers to the lottery of the right to perform AT. .
In the AT first lottery, when the lottery is won, the continuation (stock) number is also drawn. In the AT of the present embodiment, the number of times of one (set) game is set to “50”. For this reason, when winning at the first time of AT and winning the continuation (stock) number “2”, AT of 50 games is performed twice in succession.

In the main game state 0, the AT (first win) lottery is executed when the replay C, the replay D, the small combination D1, and the small combination D2 are won. In the following description, a role that triggers an AT lottery such as the replay C, the replay D, the small role D1, and the small role D2 in the main gaming state 0 is referred to as an “AT lottery trigger role”.
16 and 17, the AT winning probability is indicated by “low”, “medium”, and “high”. Actually, as the AT lottery state, for example, low probability, normal, and high probability are provided. When the AT lottery state is low probability, the winning probability is 5 to 10%, and when the AT lottery state is normal, 8 to 15 %, When the AT lottery state is highly accurate, it is set such as 15 to 25%.

In FIG. 16 (1), since Replay C is not drawn when it is non-RT, RT1, RT3, it indicates that only RT2 has the possibility of winning Replay C and winning AT. Yes.
In addition, the replay D may be won in duplicate with 1BB. Winning this condition device will result in 1BB winning, and the game is still non-internal, so an AT lottery will be executed based on the winning of Replay D (the AT lottery will be executed in the game winning 1BB) ) The same applies to the AT continuous lottery described later.

On the other hand, when the small roles D1 and D2 are won, it is non-RT, RT1, and RT2 that have the possibility of winning the AT. On the other hand, in RT3, there is a possibility of winning the small role D1 and the small role D2, but in this embodiment, the AT lottery is not performed from the next game of the game won in the special role.
However, if the small combination D1 or D2 (small combination 30 or 31) wins when the small combination D1 and small combination D2 are won in RT3, the player expects the AT to be won.
Here, if you happen to win a special role in the previous game and become inside, the player will not notice that it is inside. There is a possibility that the winning of the small role D2 has the impression that it is a wasteful withdrawal.

Therefore, as a method for avoiding this, the following method can be cited.
As a first method, when a small role D1 or a small role D2 is won in the inside, a strong effect (a hot effect with a high expectation degree of winning) that is output when winning in a non-inside is not output. For example, it is possible to prevent the player from having an AT winning expectation degree by outputting an effect with a small expectation of winning or not outputting the winning effect itself.
In addition, when the small combination D1 or small combination D2 is won in the inside, a back lamp effect is not output so that the player is not expected to have an AT winning expectation.

In addition, as the second method, which is set in this embodiment as well, among the roles in which AT lottery is performed, the winning number of condition devices that are not drawn in RT3, such as Replay C and Replay D, is selected. For a condition device that is drawn up both in the non-inside and inside, such as the small combination D1 and the small combination D2, it is possible to set the winning number lower.
Since it is possible to change the replay winning probability by shifting from non-internal to internal, replay C and replay D are lottery in non-internal and not in internal. (Based on rules).
On the other hand, the probability of winning a small role cannot be changed between non-inside and inside. For this reason, as shown in this embodiment, the lottery numbers of the small combination D1 and the small combination D2 are set to be the same in the non-inside and in the inside.

  Furthermore, as a third method, the small combination D1 and the small combination D2 are set in a condition device that does not win a special combination with a special combination during non-inside (this is set in this embodiment). On the other hand, if the small role D1 or D2 is won when moving to RT3 in the interior, the condition device becomes “special role (for example, 1BB) + small role D1 (or small role D2)”. The condition apparatus is different between inside and inside. In this way, the stop control of the reel 31 is changed using the difference in the condition device. Specifically, when the small combination D1 or D2 is won during the non-inside, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled so that the small combination D1 or D2 (actually the small combination 30 or 31) can be won. On the other hand, when the small combination D1 or D2 is won in the inside, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the small combination D1 or D2 (actually the small combination 30 or 31) is not won.

In the main game state 4, that is, during the 1BB game, the AT (first win) lottery is executed based on the winning of the small role E (each game is won). For example, it is possible to execute a lottery with every game and a winning probability of 3%.
The same applies to the 2BB game described later, but in the 1BB game or the 2BB game, when the AT (first win) lottery is not won, only the AT (first win) lottery is executed. On the other hand, when the AT (first win) lottery is won in the 1BB game or the 2BB game, the AT continuation (stock) lottery is executed after the next game (the AT (first win) lottery is not executed).

  In addition, in the main game state 5, that is, in the 2BB game, since the lottery of the condition device is not performed, the AT (first win) lottery based on the win of the condition device is not executed, but every game is uniformly the AT (first win). Run a lottery. For example, when the start switch 41 is operated, a random value is extracted, and when the extracted random value is a random value corresponding to an AT (first win) win, it is determined that the AT (first win) is won, and the extracted random value is AT ( If it is not a random value corresponding to winning, it may be determined that it is not winning.

In FIG. 16 (2), the AT continuation (stock) lottery is executed on the condition that the AT (first win) lottery is won. Therefore, the AT continuous (stock) lottery is performed in the main game state 2 (AT preparation) and the main game state 3 (AT) in the non-special game. In the main game state 2, the game is executed based on the winning of the replay D, and in the main game state 3, the game is executed based on the winning of the replay C or the replay D.
However, none will be executed from the next game of the game won for the special role.
Further, the AT continuous lottery based on the winning of the replay C is executed only at RT2 (non-RT, the replay C is not lottery at RT1).
Furthermore, in the main game state 4 (1BB game) and the main game state 5 (2BB game), when the above-mentioned AT (first win) lottery is won, the AT continuation (stock) lottery will be performed after the next game. I do.

  The “(3) AT game number extra lottery” in FIG. 17 is executed in the main game states 2 and 3. In the lottery for the number of AT games, for example, when “20” is won, “20” is added to the number of AT games “50” to be executed first if the AT is being prepared (total “70”). Becomes). Similarly, when “20” is won by an extra lottery during AT, “20” is added to the remaining number of games of the AT currently being executed.

In the main game state 2 (AT preparation), it is executed with the winning of the small combination D1 or the small combination D2. However, even in the main game state 2, the lottery is not executed from the next game of the game won in the special role.
In the main game state 3 (AT), the game is executed in response to the winning of replays B1 to B6, replay C, small role D1 or D2. However, as described above, even in the main game state 3, the lottery is not executed from the next game of the game won in the special role.
Further, since the replays B1 to B6 are not lottery in non-RT, the lottery is not won in non-RT.
Furthermore, since the replay C is not drawn by non-RT and RT1, the lottery is not won by non-RT and RT1.

Returning to FIG.
The push order instruction number selection means 64 selects a push order instruction number based on the lottery result of the condition device by the combination lottery means 61.
FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a push order instruction number table.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, each condition device has a unique push order instruction number. For example, the push order instruction number corresponding to Replay A is “A0”, and the push order instruction number corresponding to the small combination A1 is “A7”. The push order instruction numbers include “A0” to “A9”.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing the relationship between the push order instruction number, the push order advantageous to the player, and the display contents 1 and 2. The push order instruction number “A0” does not have a push order that is advantageous to the player (the push order does not cause any advantage / disadvantage, that is, the push order does not matter).
In addition, the push order instruction numbers “A1” to “A9” each have a push order that is advantageous to the player. For example, the advantageous pushing order corresponding to the pushing order instruction number “A2” is right and left, and the advantageous pushing order corresponding to the pushing order instruction number “A9” is right first stop (right middle left or right middle). (Left).
As described above, the correct (advantageous) push order when the replays B1 to B6 are won is a push order that maintains RT (RT2) advantageous to the player or a push order that does not cause the RT to fall. Specifically, this corresponds to the pressing order in which the replay 03 or 04 is won or the pressing order in which the replay 01 or 02 is not won.

In addition, the correct pressing order when winning the small roles A1 to A6 is the pressing order for winning eight winning combinations (the pressing order not allowing one winning combination to shift to non-RT, and the pressing order not shifting to RT1 by displaying special figures) ).
Furthermore, the correct pressing order when winning the small roles B1 to B6 is the pressing order for winning the three-piece winning combination (the pressing order that does not allow the one-piece winning combination that shifts to non-RT to win, and the pressing that does not shift to RT1 by displaying the special figure) Order).
Furthermore, the correct answer pressing order when winning the small roles C1 to C6 corresponds to the pressing order (not pressing the small roles 26 or 27) that wins the small roles 28 or 29 (the pressing order that does not fall into non-RT).

In FIG. 19, “display content 1” indicates the content displayed by the control of the main control board 60, and in this embodiment is push order instruction information displayed on the acquisition number display LED 39. In the present embodiment, the push order instruction numbers “0” to “9” and “A” correspond to the display of “0” to “9” and “=” on the LED (7-segment display), respectively. When “=” is displayed, two of the seven segments (upper, middle, and lower) in the longitudinal direction (upper, middle, and lower) of the seven-segment display are turned on (in the present embodiment, the middle and lower). (See FIG. 29).
“Display content 2” indicates the content displayed by the control of the sub-control board 80, and in this embodiment, is the correct answer pressing order displayed on the image display device 23.
For example, when the winning and replay condition device “10” is won, the push order instruction number “A7” is selected, and “= 7” is displayed on the acquisition number display LED 39. Further, on the image display device 23, for example, “1 ○○” or the like is displayed on the image so that the player can understand that it is the first left stop.

  The push order instruction numbers “A10” and “A11” are not instructions of the push order itself, but are push order instruction numbers selected by the sub-control board 80 when outputting the 1BB or 2BB winning finalization effect. . For example, when outputting the 1BB winning confirmation effect, the push order instruction number “A10” is selected, and the image display device 23 displays (notifies) the image “Aim at Red 7”.

In the present embodiment, after lottery of each game and condition device, when the current game is in the push order instruction state (see FIG. 15; main game state 2 or 3 o'clock), it corresponds to the selected condition device. The push order instruction number to be acquired is acquired and stored in the RWM 53.
The push order instruction numbers “A10” and “A11” are the push order instruction numbers “A10” (when 1BB is won) or “A11” ”(During 2BB winning) may be selected, and when selected, a special combination winning effect is output to the image display device 23.

In FIG. 1, the effect group number selection means 65 is an effect group number corresponding to the selected condition device, and selects a number to be transmitted to the sub-control board 80.
As a result of lottery of condition devices, it is also conceivable that the selected condition device information itself is transmitted to the sub-control board 80. However, in this embodiment, the selected condition device information itself is not transmitted to the sub-control board 80. As a result, the sub-control board 80 cannot know the condition device number won in the current game.

  On the other hand, on the main control board 60 side, an effect group number corresponding to the selected condition device is determined in advance. Then, after lottery of the condition device, the effect group number corresponding to the selected condition device is selected, and the effect group number is transmitted to the sub-control board 80. When the sub-control board 80 receives the effect group number selected in the current game, the sub-control board 80 can select and output the effect corresponding to the effect group number.

FIG. 20 shows an effect group number table.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, each condition device has a unique production group number. For example, the production group number corresponding to winning of the small roles A1 to A6 is defined as “5”.

Therefore, the main control board 60 selects “5” as the effect group number when winning the small combination A1 as a result of the lottery of the condition device. Then, the information of the selected effect group number “5” is transmitted to the sub control board 80.
When receiving the information that the production group number is “5”, the sub-control board 80 can know that one of the small roles A1 to A6 (push order bell) has been won in the current game. Thereby, the winning effect of the bell can be output. However, even if the sub-control board 80 receives the information indicating that the effect group number “5” has been won, the correct push order cannot be known unless the push order instruction number corresponding to the correct push order is received. . In this embodiment, the push order instruction numbers corresponding to the correct push order (push order instruction numbers “A7” to “A9”) are stored in the sub control board during the main gaming state 2 (AT preparation) or 3 (AT). 80, but not during non-AT (push order number “A0” is sent). Therefore, during the AT, the sub-control board 80 can output the fact that the small roles A1 to A6 (push order bell) are won and the correct answer push order corresponding to the push order instruction number as an effect. On the other hand, during the non-AT, the sub-control board 80 is limited to the effect of winning one of the small roles A1 to A6 (bell) and cannot output the correct pressing order as the effect.

Even if the same push order instruction number is transmitted to the sub-control board 80, different effects can be output due to different effect group numbers. For example, the push order instruction number when winning the replay B1 is “A1” (left middle right), and the push order instruction number when winning the small role C1 is “A1” (left middle right) In either case, the same push order instruction number is transmitted to the sub-control board 80.
However, when the replay B1 is won, the production group number “2” is transmitted, and when the small role C1 is won, the production group number “7” is transmitted. For this reason, when the production group number “2” is transmitted, for example, it is possible to notify the correct pressing order using blue indicating replay. When the production group number “7” is transmitted, for example, a bell It becomes possible to notify the correct answer pressing order using yellow indicating.

  In FIG. 1, the reel control means 66 starts rotation of all (three) reels 31 when a rotation start command for the reels 31 is received, particularly when the start switch 41 is operated in this embodiment. To control. Furthermore, after the lottery of the condition device is performed by the combination lottery means 61, the reel control means 66 refers to the ON / OFF of the winning flag in the current game, and the stop position determination table corresponding to the ON / OFF of the winning flag. When the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined and the motor 32 is driven based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated. Control is performed so that the reel 31 is stopped at the determined position.

  For example, in a game in which at least one winning flag is turned on, the reel control means 66 selects a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination (the combination with the winning flag turned on) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The reel 31 is stopped and controlled so as to be able to stop on the active line, and the reel 31 is stopped and controlled so as not to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the winning combination (the combination whose winning flag is off) on the effective line. .

Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops or the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving frames (symbols)). Means within range.
In this embodiment, the reel 31 is rotated at a speed of about 80 rotations per minute at a constant speed.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 is stopped is set within 190 ms. Thereby, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops is set to four frames.

  For example, in FIG. 4, when the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first “watermelon” of the left reel 31 is located in the middle left stage, that four frames ahead, that is, up to the fifth “replay” is left. It becomes a symbol that can be stopped in the middle. Therefore, at the above-described operation timing, the symbols of No. 1 (bita stop) to No. 5 (4 frames) are symbols that can be stopped at the middle left.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above, and it is also possible to set the maximum number of moving frames to 4 frames from the symbol next to the symbol positioned on the active line at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. In this case, for example, when the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first “watermelon” of the left reel 31 is located in the middle left stage, from the next symbol, that is, the second “cherry”, Up to the 6th “watermelon”, which is the 4 frames ahead, is a symbol that can be stopped in the middle left. Therefore, at the above-described operation timing, the symbols Nos. 2 to 6 are symbols that can be stopped at the left middle stage.
In the following description, it is assumed that the maximum number of moving frames is 4 frames from the symbols positioned on the effective line at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated.

  First, at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected, if any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 is a symbol to be stopped at a predetermined effective line, the stop switch 42 is operated. In addition, the design is controlled to stop at a predetermined effective line.

  That is, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop control of the reel 31 is stopped until the reel 31 is stopped when the symbol related to the winning combination does not stop at a predetermined effective line. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range, the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled to stop as much as possible on the predetermined effective line (retraction stop control).

Conversely, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective line, the reel 31 is stopped when the reel 31 is stopped. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range of 31 stop control, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is controlled so as not to stop on the effective line (kicking stop control).
Furthermore, in a game in which a plurality of winning combinations are won, the priority order of winning combinations is determined in advance according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42, the operation timing of the stop switch 42, and the like. The highest priority drawing pull-in control is performed.

Furthermore, the reel control means 66 detects the pressing order (operation order) of the stop switch 42. The reel control means 66 detects which one of the left, middle and right stop switches 42 is operated when the stop switch 42 is operated by the player.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is input to the reel control means 66. By discriminating this signal, the reel control means 66 detects which stop switch 42 has been operated. Then, stop control of the reel 31 corresponding to the operated stop switch 42 is executed.

  Further, the reel control means 66 includes a stop position determination table for each condition device. The stop position determination table defines the stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. In each stop position determination table, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first symbol (“watermelon” in the case of the left reel 31) passes through the middle stage, how many symbols are controlled to move. The stop position is determined in advance, such as how many symbols are stopped at the middle stage.

Here, the symbol arrangement in the present embodiment will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 4, in all the reels 31, four “replays” are arranged at intervals of five symbols. As a result, the “replay” of each reel 31 has a “PB = 1” arrangement.
Similarly, in all the reels 31, four "bells" are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols. As a result, the “bell” of each reel 31 has a “PB = 1” arrangement.
Similarly, in all the reels 31, four “watermelons” are arranged at intervals of five symbols. As a result, the “watermelon” of each reel 31 has the “PB = 1” arrangement.

Here, the symbol constituting the symbol combination of replays 01 to 06 is any one of “watermelon”, “replay”, and “bell”. Accordingly, when the replay is won, the target symbol can always be stopped on the active line, so “PB = 1”.
In addition, since the combination of the symbols of the small role 01 and the small roles 26 to 29 includes any one of “bell”, “watermelon”, and “replay”, the small role 01 and the small roles 26 to 29 also have “ PB = 1 ”.

  In all the reels 31, any one of “red 7”, “blue 7”, “white 7”, and “black BAR” is arranged at intervals of 5 symbols. Therefore, in the total of these four symbols, “PB = 1” is arranged. That is, any one of “red 7”, “blue 7”, “white 7”, or “black BAR” is arranged at intervals of 5 symbols.

Hereinafter, the stop position determination table corresponding to each condition device will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, the stop position determination table at the time of winning and replay condition device winning will be described.
The non-winning table is used in a game when a winning combination is not won, and defines a combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped so that a combination of symbols corresponding to any winning combination does not stop on the active line.

  The replay A table is used when replay A is won (replay 01 is a single winner), and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, the reels are set so that the replay 01 is stopped on the active line regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. 31 stop positions are defined. The symbols of the reels 31 related to the replay 01 and replays 02 to 06 described later have a “PB = 1” arrangement in all the reels 31. Accordingly, the replay that is always won at the time of winning the replay (when a plurality of replays are duplicated, one of the replays that is won repeatedly) always wins.

  The replay B1 table is used in the game at the time of replay B1 winning, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, the replay 03 is stopped at the effective line in the push order “left middle right”, and other than “left middle right” In the pressing order, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay 01 is stopped on the active line (see FIG. 10).

First, in the game using the replay B1 table, at the time of the first left stop (in the correct push order), the “bell” is stopped in the middle left. Next, at the time of the second middle stop (at this time, the correct answer in the pressing order is confirmed), the “replay” is stopped at the middle middle stage. At the time of the third stop on the right, the “bell” is stopped in the middle right. As a result, Replay 03 is won.
On the other hand, after the first left stop, at the time of the second right stop (the incorrect answer in the pressing order is determined at this time), the “watermelon” is stopped in the middle right. Then, at the middle third stop, the “bell” is stopped at the middle middle stage. As a result, the replay 01 is won.

On the other hand, in a game in which the replay B1 table is used, at the time of the middle first stop (at this time, the push order is incorrect), the “bell” is stopped at the middle middle. After that, the “bell” is stopped at the middle left when stopping left, and the “watermelon” is stopped at the middle right when stopping right. As a result, the replay 01 is won.
In a game using the replay B1 table, when the first stop on the right (the push order is incorrect at this point), “watermelon” is stopped in the middle right. Thereafter, the “bell” is stopped at the middle left when the left stop is performed, and the “bell” is stopped at the middle middle when the middle is stopped. As a result, the replay 01 is won.

The replay B2 table is used in the game at the time of replay B2 winning, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is “left and right middle”, the replay 03 is stopped at the active line, and the pushing order other than “right and left middle” At this time, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay 01 is stopped at the active line (see FIG. 10). The replay B1 winning combination includes a replay 05, but the replay 05 is not won in a game in which the replay B2 table is used.
In a game using the Replay B2 table, when the push order is “middle left and right”, “bell” is stopped at the middle left when stopped left, “bell” is stopped at the middle right when stopped right, and “replay” is stopped at the middle stop. ”Is stopped in the middle and middle stages. On the other hand, except for the pressing order “left / right middle”, “bell” is stopped at the middle left when stopped left, “bell” is stopped at the middle middle when stopped, and “watermelon” is stopped at the middle right when stopped right.

The replay B3 table is used in the game when the replay B3 is won, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, the replay 03 is stopped at the active line in the pushing order “middle left and right”, and the pushing order other than “middle left and right” At this time, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay 02 is stopped at the active line (see FIG. 10).
In a game in which the replay B3 table is used, “replay” is stopped in the middle left at the middle first stop (in the correct push order). Next, at the time of the second stop at the left (at this time, the correct order of pushing is confirmed), the “bell” is stopped at the middle left. At the time of the third stop on the right, the “bell” is stopped in the middle right. As a result, Replay 03 is won.
On the other hand, after the middle first stop, at the time of the second right stop (the incorrect answer in the pressing order is confirmed at this time), the “replay” is stopped in the middle right. Then, at the time of the third stop on the left, “Replay” is stopped at the middle left. As a result, Replay 02 is won.

On the other hand, in a game in which the replay B3 table is used, at the time of the first stop at the left (at this time, the push order is incorrect), “replay” is stopped at the middle left. After that, “replay” is stopped in the middle middle when stopping in the middle, and “replay” is stopped in the middle right when stopping right. As a result, Replay 02 is won.
In a game in which the replay B3 table is used, at the time of the first stop on the right (at this time, the push order is incorrect), the “replay” is stopped at the middle right. Thereafter, “replay” is stopped at the middle left when stopping left, and “replay” is stopped at the middle middle when stopping midway. As a result, Replay 02 is won.

  The replay B4 table is used in the game when the replay B4 is won, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, when the pressing order is “middle right left”, the replay 03 is stopped at the active line, and the pushing order other than “middle right left” At this time, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay 02 is stopped at the active line (see FIG. 10). The replay B4 winning combination includes a replay 05, but the replay 05 is not won in a game in which the replay B4 table is used.

  In a game using the Replay B4 table, when the push order is “middle right / left”, “replay” is stopped at the middle / middle level during middle stop, “bell” is stopped at the middle right when stopped right, "To the left middle. On the other hand, except for the pressing order “middle right left”, “replay” is stopped at the middle left when stopped left, “replay” is stopped at the middle middle when stopped, and “replay” is stopped at the middle right when stopped right.

  The replay B5 table is used in the game at the time of replay B5 winning, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, when the push order is “middle right”, the replay 04 is stopped at the effective line, and the push order other than “middle right” At this time, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay 01 is stopped at the active line (see FIG. 10).

In the game using the replay B5 table, when the first stop on the right (when the correct answer is pushed), the “watermelon” is stopped at the middle right. Next, at the time of the second stop at the left (at this time, the correct order of pushing is determined), the “watermelon” is stopped at the middle left. Then, during the middle third stop, “Replay” is stopped at the middle middle stage. As a result, the replay 04 is won.
On the other hand, after the first stop on the right, at the time of the second stop (the push order incorrect answer is confirmed at this time), the “bell” is stopped in the middle and middle stages. Then, at the time of the third stop on the left, the “bell” is stopped at the middle left. As a result, the replay 01 is won.

On the other hand, in a game using the replay B5 table, when the first left stop (the answer is incorrect in the pressing order at this time), the “bell” is stopped in the middle left. After that, the “bell” is stopped at the middle middle when the vehicle is in the middle stop, and the “watermelon” is stopped at the middle right when the right is stopped. As a result, the replay 01 is won.
In a game in which the replay B5 table is used, at the time of the middle first stop (at this time, the push order is incorrect), the “bell” is stopped at the middle right. Thereafter, the “bell” is stopped at the middle left when the left stop is performed, and the “watermelon” is stopped at the middle middle when the middle is stopped. As a result, the replay 01 is won.

The replay B6 table is used in the game at the time of replay B6 winning, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, the replay 04 is stopped at the active line when the push order is “right middle left”, and other than “right middle left” In the order of pressing, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay 01 is stopped at the active line (see FIG. 10). The replay B6 winning combination includes a replay 05, but the replay 05 is never won in a game using the replay B6 table.
In a game in which the replay B6 table is used, in the push order “right middle left”, “watermelon” is stopped at the middle right when stopping right, “replay” is stopped at the middle middle when stopping right, and “ Stop "Watermelon" in the middle left. On the other hand, except for the push order “right middle left”, “bell” is stopped at the middle left when stopping left, “bell” is stopped at the middle middle when stopping middle, and “watermelon” is stopped at the middle right when stopping right .

  The replay C table is used in the game when the replay C is won, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the replay 05 is stopped on the active line regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42 (see FIG. 10). The stop position of the reel 31 is determined. As shown in FIG. 6, the replay 05 has a combination of symbols matching “watermelon” and has a combination of symbols of a rare small role, but it is actually one of the replays.

  The replay D table is used in the game when the replay D is won, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, so that the replay 06 is stopped on the active line regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42 (see FIG. 10). The stop position of the reel 31 is determined. As shown in FIG. 6, the replay 06 has a chance-like stop form that becomes a “watermelon” slippage (a slippage after the “watermelon” balance), but is actually one of the replays.

Next, the stop position determination table at the time of winning the small role (push order bell) will be described.
In the present embodiment, the small combinations A1 to A6 are duplicate winnings (so-called push order bells) of the small combination 01 which is an eight-piece combination and the small combinations 02 to 25 which are one-piece combination. Thus, the following method is mentioned as stop control of the reel 31 when a plurality of small combinations having different payout numbers are won in duplicate.
As the first priority, when all of the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination (of the reel 31) can be stopped on the active line, the reel 31 is stopped at that position.

Next, when it is not possible to “stop all of the symbols that make up the winning symbol combination on the active line” (when the first priority cannot be adopted), the second priority is set to “number priority” ”Or“ number priority ”, the reel 31 is controlled to stop.
Here, the “number priority” is to stop (pull in) the symbol of the reel 31 constituting the symbol combination with the largest number of symbols to be paid out among the combinations of symbols selected in duplicate. Say. For this reason, when winning a small combination 01-25, the small combination 01 corresponds to a combination of symbols having the largest number of payouts.
On the other hand, “number priority” means that the symbols on the reel 31 are stopped on the effective line so that the number of combinations of symbols that can be stopped on the effective line is maximized.

For example, when winning the small combination A1 and making the first left stop, it is not possible to simultaneously stop all the left reels 31 related to the winning combination on the active line. Since there are a plurality of types of symbols on the left reel 31 of the small roles 01, 10, 11, 18, and 19, there is only one effective line, so only one type of symbol can be stopped on the effective line. is there.
Therefore, when the small combination A1 to A6 is won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop according to either the number priority or the number priority. In the present embodiment, the reels are controlled to stop with priority on the number of sheets when the correct answer is in the pressing order, and the reels 31 are controlled to stop with priority on the number when the answer is incorrect in the pressing order. When the reels are stopped and controlled with priority given to the number, the eight-piece combination is not awarded, and one-piece combination can be won (so that it may be missed).

Here, the case of winning the small role A1 will be described as an example.
As shown in FIG. 11, when winning the small combination A1, the small combinations 01, 10, 11, 18, and 19 are overlapped and the combinations of symbols are as follows.
Small role 01: "Replay"-"Bell"-"Replay" (8 photos)
Small part 10: "Red 7"-"Replay"-"Red 7" (1 sheet)
Small part 10: "Red 7"-"Replay"-"Blue 7" (1 sheet)
Small part 11: "Red 7"-"Replay"-"White 7" (1 sheet)
Small part 11: "Red 7"-"Replay"-"Black BAR" (1 sheet)
Small part 18: "Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Bell" (1 sheet)
Small part 18: "Red 7"-"Blue 7"-"Bell" (1 sheet)
Small part 19: "Red 7"-"White 7"-"Bell" (1 sheet)
Small part 19: "Red 7"-"Black BAR"-"Bell" (1 sheet)

  When priority is given to the number of sheets at the first left stop (in the correct push order), the left reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the small role 01 is won. Therefore, when the left reel 31 is stopped, “replay” is enabled. Stop at line (middle left). Since the reel 31 is controlled to stop in the middle and the right stop, priority is given to the number of reels. Therefore, the “bell” is stopped at the effective line (middle middle) at the middle stop, and the “replay” is activated at the right line (middle right) at the right stop. To stop.

  On the other hand, when priority is given to the number at the middle first stop (when pressing order is incorrect), if “Replay” is stopped at the active line, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped at the active line is four. And become the maximum. Therefore, when the number priority is performed at the time of the middle first stop, the “replay” (the symbol related to the small role 10 or 11) is stopped at the active line (middle middle). After the middle first stop, at the time of left and right stop, if the symbol related to the small combination (small combination 10 or 11) that can be won by the number priority can be stopped on the effective line, the symbol is stopped on the effective line. When the symbol cannot be stopped at the active line, the symbol is stopped so that any special symbol stops at the active line.

In addition, when priority is given to the number at the right first stop (when pressing order is incorrect), if the “bell” is stopped on the active line, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped on the active line is 4. And become the maximum. Therefore, when priority is given to the number at the first stop on the right, the “bell” (the symbol related to the small part 18 or 19) is stopped at the effective line (the middle right). After the first stop on the right, at the time of the left and middle stops, if the symbol related to the small combination (small combination 18 or 19) that can be won by the number priority can be stopped on the effective line, the symbol is stopped on the effective line. When the symbol cannot be stopped at the active line, the symbol is stopped so that any special symbol stops at the active line.
In the present embodiment, at the time of the first stop, it is set so that the symbol “PB = 1” is drawn in both the correct answer in the pressing order and the incorrect answer at the time of the first stop.
The above-described stop control of the reel 31 is common when winning the small roles A1 to A6.

  Although details will be described later, there is no RT transition when the small combination 01 is won by the correct pressing order when winning the small combination A1 to A6. On the other hand, when a single winning combination is won due to an incorrect answer in the pressing order, when the player is staying at an RT other than the non-RT, the next game is shifted to the non-RT. Further, when a special figure is displayed due to an incorrect answer in the pressing order, when staying in an RT other than RT1 (including non-RT), the game shifts to RT1 from the next game.

The small role A1 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role A1, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is the first left stop (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 01 is won When the pressing order is middle first stop (when pressing order is incorrect), the small role 10 or 11 is won or the role is lost, and when the pressing order is right first stop (when pressing order is incorrect) The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small combination 18 or 19 is won or the combination is lost (see FIG. 11).
First, in a game in which the small role A1 table is used, at the time of the first left stop (in the correct push order), the “replay” is stopped in the middle left with priority on the number. Thereafter, at the time of middle and right stop, “bell” and “replay” are stopped at the middle middle and right middle, respectively. Thereby, the small role 01 wins.

In the game using the small role A1 table, at the time of middle first stop (when the push order is incorrect), “Replay”, which is a symbol related to the small role 10 or 11, is stopped at the middle and middle levels due to the number priority. (PB = 1).
In addition, at the time of the left stop after the middle first stop, when “red 7” that is the symbol related to the small role 10 or 11 can be stopped at the left middle stage, “red 7” is stopped at the left middle stage. As shown in FIG. 4, since the left reel 31 has one “red 7”, when the left reel 31 is randomly stopped, “red 7” is stopped at the middle left. The probability of being “1/4” is “1/4”. On the other hand, when “Red 7” cannot be stopped at the middle left, “Bell” is stopped at the middle left.
Furthermore, at the time of the right stop after the middle first stop, the symbols “red 7”, “blue 7”, “white 7”, and “black BAR” relating to the small role 10 or 11 are stopped in the middle right. As described above, the sum of these four symbols is “PB = 1” arrangement (5 symbol intervals of 4 symbols), so that any of these symbols can always be stopped in the middle right.

Further, in the game using the small combination A1 table, at the time of the first stop on the right, the “bell” which is the symbol related to the small combination 18 or 19 is stopped in the middle right (PB = 1). Next, at the time of the left stop after the first stop on the right, when “Red 7”, which is a symbol related to the small part 18 or 19, can be stopped at the middle left, “Red 7” is stopped at the middle left, If “7” cannot be stopped at the middle left stage, “Bell” is stopped at the middle left stage.
Furthermore, at the time of the middle stop after the first right stop, any one of “red 7”, “blue 7”, “white 7”, and “black BAR” is stopped in the middle middle stage.

As described above, in the game using the small combination A1 table, the small combination 01 wins (PB = 1) at the time of the first left stop (in the correct push order).
Further, at the time of the middle first stop, “red 7”-“replay”-“red 7 / blue 7 / white 7 / black BAR” (“/” indicates “or”. The same shall apply hereinafter) is the effective line. Stop and win a small role 10 or 11 (probability “1/4”), or special figure 02 “Bell”-“Replay”-“Red 7 / Blue 7 / White 7 / Black BAR” Stops (probability “3/4”).
Furthermore, at the time of the first stop on the right, “Red 7”-“Red 7 / Blue 7 / White 7 / Black BAR”-“Bell” will stop at the active line and will be awarded the small role 18 or 19 ( Probability “1/4”), or “bell”-“red 7 / blue 7 / white 7 / black BAR”-“bell”, which is special figure 01, stops (probability “3/4”).

The small role A2 table is used in the game when winning the small role A2, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is the first left stop (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 01 is won, When the pushing order is middle first stop (when pushing order is incorrect), the small role 12 or 13 is won or the role is lost, and when the pushing order is right first stop (when pushing order is wrong) The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small combination 20 or 21 is won or the combination is lost (see FIG. 11).
In a game using the small combination A2 table, the stop control of each reel 31 at the time of the first left stop is the same as that of the small combination A1 table.

In the game using the small role A2 table, “replay” is stopped at the middle / middle stage during the middle first stop (PB = 1). Furthermore, at the time of the left stop after the middle first stop, when “Blue 7”, which is a symbol related to the small role 12 or 13, can be stopped at the left middle stage, “Blue 7” is stopped at the left middle stage. As shown in FIG. 4, the left reel 31 has one “blue 7”. Therefore, when the left reel 31 is randomly stopped, “blue 7” is stopped at the left middle stage. The probability of being “1/4” is “1/4”. On the other hand, when “blue 7” cannot be stopped at the left middle stage, “bell” is stopped at the left middle stage.
Furthermore, at the time of the right stop after the middle first stop, the symbols “red 7”, “blue 7”, “white 7”, and “black BAR” relating to the small role 12 or 13 are stopped in the middle right. In this case, “PB = 1” as in the above-described small combination A1 table.

Further, in the game using the small role A2 table, at the time of the first stop on the right, the “bell” which is the symbol related to the small role 20 or 21 is stopped in the middle right (PB = 1).

Furthermore, at the time of the first stop on the right, “Blue 7”-“Red 7 / Blue 7 / White 7 / Black BAR”-“Bell” will stop at the active line and will win the small role 20 or 21 ( Probability “1/4”) or “bell”-“red 7 / blue 7 / white 7 / black BAR”-“bell” as special figure 01 stops (probability “3/4”).

The small role A3 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role A3, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is medium first stop (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 01 is won, When the push order is the first stop on the left (when the answer is incorrect), the small role 02 or 03 is won or the role is lost. When the push order is the first stop at the right (when the answer is incorrect) The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small combination 20 or 21 is won or the combination is lost (see FIG. 11).
In a game using the small combination A3 table, the stop control of each reel 31 at the time of the middle first stop is the same as that of the small combination A1 table.

Further, in a game using the small role A3 table, at the time of the first left stop, the “bell” that is a symbol related to the small role 02 or 03 is stopped in the middle left (PB = 1). Further, at the time of the middle stop after the first left stop, if “red 7” that is the symbol related to the small part 02 or 03 can be stopped at the middle middle stage, “red 7” is stopped at the middle middle stage. As shown in FIG. 4, since one “red 7” is provided in the middle reel 31, when the middle reel 31 is randomly stopped, “red 7” is stopped at the middle middle stage. The probability of being “1/4” is “1/4”. On the other hand, when “Red 7” cannot be stopped in the middle / middle stage, “Replay” is stopped in the middle / middle stage.
Furthermore, at the time of the right stop after the first left stop, the symbols “red 7”, “blue 7”, “white 7”, and “black BAR”, which are related to the small role 02 or 03, are stopped in the middle right. In this case, “PB = 1” as in the above-described small combination A1 table.

  At the time of winning the small roles B1 to B6, as in the case of winning the small roles A1 to A6, a plurality of types of small roles having different payout numbers are repeatedly selected, which corresponds to a so-called push order bell. However, the small roles B1 to B6 are a winning combination of a small role 28 having a payout number of 3 and a small role 02 to 25 having a payout number of 1. Also in this case, as in the case of winning the small roles A1 to A6, the small role 28 is won by the number priority in the correct answer in the pushing order, and the small roles 02-25 can be won in the number priority in the incorrect answer in the pressing order. (Similar to winning the small roles A1-A6, it may be missed.)

  The small role B1 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role B1, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is the first left stop (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 28 is awarded, When the pressing order is middle first stop (when pressing order is incorrect), the small role 10 or 11 is won or the role is lost, and when the pressing order is right first stop (when pressing order is incorrect) The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small combination 18 or 19 is won or the combination is lost (see FIG. 12).

  Similarly, the small role B2 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role B2, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is the first left stop (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 28 is displayed. When the winning order is middle first stop (when pressing order is incorrect), the small role 12 or 13 is won or the role is lost, and when the pressing order is right first stop (incorrect pressing order) ) Is a position where the reel 31 is stopped so that the small role 20 or 21 is won or the combination is missed.

  The small role B3 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role B3, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is middle first stop (at the time of pushing order correct answer), the small role 28 is awarded, When the push order is the first stop on the left (when the answer is incorrect), the small role 02 or 03 is won or the role is lost. When the push order is the first stop at the right (when the answer is incorrect) The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small combination 22 or 23 is won or the combination is missed.

  The small role B4 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role B4, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is the middle first stop (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 28 is won, When the push order is the first stop on the left (when the answer is incorrect), the small role 04 or 05 is won or the role is lost. When the push order is the first stop at the right (when the answer is incorrect) The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small combination 24 or 25 is won or the combination is missed.

  The small role B5 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role B5, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is the first stop right (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 28 is awarded, When the pressing order is the first stop on the left (when the answer is incorrect), the small role 06 or 07 is won or the role is lost. When the pressing order is the middle stop (when the answer is incorrect) The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small combination 14 or 15 is won or the combination is lost.

  The small role B6 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role B6, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is the first right stop (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 28 is awarded, When the pressing order is the first stop on the left (when the answer is incorrect), the small role 08 or 09 is won or the role is missed. When the pressing order is the middle first stop (when the pressing order is incorrect) The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small combination 16 or 17 is won or the combination is missed.

In the above small combination B1 table to small combination B6 table, the control is performed so that the small combination 28 is won at the time of correct pressing order. That is, “replay” is stopped at the left stop, “watermelon” is stopped at the middle stop, and “watermelon” is stopped at the effective line (middle stage) at the right stop.
On the other hand, the incorrect push order in the small combination B1 table to the small combination B6 table is the same as the incorrect push order in the small combination A1 table to the small combination A6 table, respectively. Specifically, for example, the middle first stop in the game using the small role B1 table is the same as the middle first stop in the game using the small role A1 table. Further, the first right stop in the game using the small combination B1 table is the same as the first right stop in the game using the small combination A1 table.
Furthermore, RT transition at the time of pushing correct answer and incorrect answer is the same as that at the time of winning the small roles A1 to A6.

The winning combination C1 to C6 is a duplicate winning that includes any one of the small roles 26 or 27 and any one of the small roles 28 or 29.
The small roles C1 to C6 include (1) a case where at least two of the small roles 26 to 29 are included, and (2) a case where at least two of the small roles 26 to 29 and a single role are included. .
And in the case where at least two of the small roles 26 to 29 are included (the small role C1 and the small role C3), since each includes only the three-piece role, a predetermined symbol ( Control) to stop at the active line.

For example, the small role C1 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role C1, and when the pushing order is left middle right within the range of stop control of the reel 31 (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 29 is won When the pressing order is other than left middle right (when the pressing order is incorrect), the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small role 27 is won.
As described above, since both of the small combinations 29 and 27 are “PB = 1”, the small combination 29 or 27 can always be awarded according to the correct answer / incorrect order.

In the game using the small role C1 table, “watermelon” is stopped at the middle left when the left first stop is performed, and “replay” is stopped at the middle middle when the second middle stop (when pushing correct answer). To control the small role 29 to win. On the other hand, at the time of the second right stop after the first left stop (when the push order is incorrect), the “bell” is stopped at the middle right and the small role 27 is won.
Therefore, in the small combination C1 table, three combinations are awarded both in the correct answer order and in the incorrect answer order. When the correct answer is in the push order, there is no RT transition. However, when the push order is incorrect (when the small role 27 is won), the transition from the next game to the non-RT occurs when the RT stays other than non-RT.

The small combination C2 table, the small combination C4 table to the small combination C6 table will be described later.
The small role C3 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role C3, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, when the push order is middle left and right (when the push order is correct), the small role 28 is awarded and the push order When is other than middle left and right (when the pressing order is incorrect), the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small role 26 is won.
In the game using the small role C3 table, “watermelon” is stopped at the middle left when middle first stop, and “replay” is stopped at the middle left when second left stop (in the correct push order). To control the small role 28 to win. On the other hand, at the time of the second right stop after the middle first stop (when the push order is incorrect), the “watermelon” is controlled to stop in the middle right and the small combination 26 is won.

The small role C2 winning is a double winning of the small roles 27 and 29 and the small role 02.

Small part 27: "Watermelon"-"Bell"-"Bell": 3 pieces Small part 29: "Watermelon"-"Replay"-"Replay": 3 pieces Small part 2: "Bell"-"Red 7"-" Red 7 ”: 1 sheet.
Then, in the case of winning the small combination C2, C4 to C6 in the present embodiment, control is performed so that the small combination included in the condition device is won by the number priority, regardless of whether the correct answer pressing order or the incorrect answer pressing order. . However, according to the order of pressing the stop switch 42, the type of the three-piece combination to be awarded is varied.

First, the small role C2 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role C2, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is right and left (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 29 is awarded. When the pressing order is other than left and right (when the pressing order is incorrect), the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small role 27 is won.
Therefore, the stop control of the reel 31 is the same as the small role C1 table. In the small role C2 table, the target symbol is stopped on the effective line with priority given to the number of sheets in both the correct answer in the pressing order and the incorrect answer in the pressing order.

The small role C4 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role C4, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is middle right and left (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 28 is awarded and the pushing order When is other than middle right and left (when the pressing order is incorrect), the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small role 26 is won.
The small role C5 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role C5, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is right / left middle (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 28 is awarded and the pushing order Is set to a stop position of the reel 31 so that the small role 26 is won when the other than the middle left and right (when the answer is incorrect).

The small role C6 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role C6, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, when the pushing order is right middle left (when the pushing order is correct), the small role 28 is awarded and pushed. When the order is other than right center left (when the pushing order is incorrect), the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small role 26 is won.
As described above, in the small combination C4 table, the small combination C5 table, and the small combination C6 table, the small combination 28 is awarded in the correct answer pressing order, and the small combination 26 is awarded in the incorrect answer pressing order.

  The small role D1 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role D1, and determines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the small role 30 or 31 can be won within the range of stop control of the reel 31. Here, since the symbol of the left reel 31 of the small role 30 is “cherry”, the left reel 31 is “PB ≠ 1”. Similarly, since the symbol of the left reel 31 of the small role 31 is “blank”, the left reel 31 is “PB ≠ 1”. However, since any one of “cherry” and “blank” obtained by adding them is arranged at four places at intervals of 5 symbols, “PB = 1” is added. Therefore, in a game in which the small combination D1 table is used, either the small combination 30 or 31 can always be won. The symbols of the small roles 30 and 31 and the right reel 31 are “ANY” (optional).

The small role D2 table is used in a game at the time of winning the small role D2, and determines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the small role 30 can be won within the range of stop control of the reel 31. As described above, since the small combination 30 is “PB ≠ 1,” there are cases where a prize is won and cases where a prize is not won.
The small role E table is used in the game when the small role E is won, and the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that any of the small roles 01 to 31 can be won within the range of stop control of the reel 31. Is. In the present embodiment, in a game in which the small combination E table is used, the small combination 01 is controlled so that the small combination 01 is won by priority regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

The 2BB in-game table is used in 2BB games, and wins any of the small role 01, the small role 30, and the small role 31 (all 8 winning combinations) and also wins any of these three roles. When it is impossible, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the winning combination is not won.
Here, in the 2BB game of this embodiment, the lottery of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 is not performed. However, as in the case where the small combination E table is used, all winning flags of the small combinations 01 to 31 are turned on.

  Further, in the 2BB game of the present embodiment, for the left reel, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops is set within 75 ms. As a result, the maximum number of smooth frames in the 2BB game is set to “1”. For reels 31 other than the left reel 31, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops is within 190 ms, and the maximum number of sliding frames is within “4”, as in the case other than 2BB game. Is set.

For the left reel 31, when the left reel 31 is stopped within 75 ms from the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated, as described above, for example, in FIG.
(1) When the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first “watermelon” on the left reel 31 is located in the middle left, the first “watermelon” and the second “cherry” next to it. Set to a symbol that can be stopped on the active line,
(2) At the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the next pattern of the first “watermelon” located on the active line, that is, the second “cherry” and the next third “black BAR” And setting to a symbol that can be stopped on the active line.
When the latter is adopted, the center and right reels 31 are set to a maximum of 4 frames on the basis of the symbol next to the symbol positioned on the effective line when the stop switch 42 is operated.

In a game using a 2BB table, when the left reel 31 is stopped, any one of “replay” (small role 01), “cherry” (small role 30), and “blank” (small role 31) is displayed in the middle left. When it is possible to stop, one of these symbols is stopped.
When “replay” is stopped in the middle left when the left reel 31 is stopped, “bell” and “replay” are stopped on the active line when the middle and right reels 31 are stopped, respectively, and the small role 01 is won. Further, when “cherry” is stopped at the middle left when the left reel 31 is stopped, the winning of the small role 30 is determined at that time. Similarly, when “blank” is stopped in the middle left when the left reel 31 is stopped, the winning of the small role 31 is confirmed at that time.
In addition, when any of the “replay”, “cherry”, and “blank” cannot be stopped at the left middle stage when the left reel 31 is stopped, each reel 31 is set so that a winning combination is not won in this game. Stop.

The 1BB table is used when a game is performed when the equipment condition device number “1” is won (1BB alone is won), or when 1BB is won before the previous game and is not won in the current game, and the reel 31 is stopped. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB is stopped on the effective line and the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than 1BB is not stopped on the effective line. It is a thing.
Since the symbol of 1BB is “red 7” in all the reels 31 (PB ≠ 1), “red 7” cannot be stopped at the effective line unless it is pushed.

Similarly, the 2BB table is used when a game is performed when the equipment condition device number “2” is won (2BB alone is won), or when 2BB is won before the previous game, and this game is not won, and the reel 31 Within the range of the stop control, the combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB is stopped on the effective line and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than 2BB is not stopped on the effective line. The combination is determined.
Since the symbol of 2BB is “blue 7” in all the reels 31 (PB ≠ 1), “blue 7” cannot be stopped at the effective line unless it is pushed.

  In addition, although detailed explanation is omitted, in games where special roles and small roles or replays are won repeatedly (including the case where special roles were won before the previous game and small roles or replays were won this time) Stop control.

For example, first, priority is given to stopping the symbols of both the special roles and small roles or replays that have been won on the active line, and if both symbols cannot be stopped on the active line, the winning is selected Stop control that gives priority to stopping a small role or replay symbol on the active line can be mentioned. The stop control that stops both the special role and the small role or replay on the active line is up to the second stop, and at the third stop, the special role, the small role or the replay is controlled to win. Multiple winning combinations will never be awarded.
Secondly, priority is given to stopping the symbols of both the special roles and small roles or replays that have been elected to the active line, and if both symbols cannot be stopped to the active line, they are selected. There is a stop control (opposite to the above) that gives priority to stopping the symbol of the special role on the active line.

Third, although priority is given to stopping the winning small role or replay symbol on the active line, when stopping the winning small role or replay symbol on the active line, If the winning special symbol can be stopped at the same time on the active line, stop control can be given to stop at that position.
In addition, when a special role and a small role or replay of “PB = 1” are won simultaneously (when simultaneously winning), both the symbol of the selected special role and the symbol of the small role or replay are displayed. It is not necessary to perform control for stopping on the effective line, and it is also possible to perform control so that only the small role or replay symbol of “PB = 1” is stopped on the effective line. Therefore, since the replay is “PB = 1”, it is also possible to execute stop control for winning only the replay 06 when 1BB and replay D in the embodiment are overlapped.

Returning to FIG.
The winning determination means 67 determines whether or not the combination of symbols on the reel 31 stopped on the active line matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped (whether any combination has won a prize). Or not). The winning determination means 67 determines the symbol on the active line by detecting, for example, the angle when the motor 32 is stopped, the number of steps, and the like.

  The payout means 68 determines that the winning combination determining means 67 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped coincides with the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations, and the winning combination is made. Depending on the winning combination, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player, or credits are added. Further, at the time of replay winning, control is performed so that the number of medals inserted in the current game is automatically inserted without paying out medals.

The RT game state control means 69 determines whether or not the RT transition condition is satisfied when each game and all the reels 31 are stopped. When it is determined that the RT transition condition is satisfied, the RT transition is performed. It is something to control.
FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an RT transition diagram in the present embodiment. As described above, the RT of this embodiment includes non-RT, RT1 to RT3, 1BB game, and 2BB game. As shown in FIG. 14, the type (number) of condition devices to be selected and the winning probability thereof are different for each RT.

  In the present embodiment, the RT transition timing is set when a combination of symbols is stopped or displayed, or when an RT transition combination is won, that is, when all stops (when all reels 31 are stopped). Therefore, in FIG. 21, for example, during RT1, when Replay 03 wins when all reels 31 are stopped, RT shifts from RT1 to RT2 at the time of all stops. The transition from non-RT, RT1, or RT2 to RT3 may be performed based on the winning of the special role, or based on the fact that the special role was not won in the game won for the special role. You may make it perform. In the present embodiment, the transition to RT3 is made based on the fact that the special combination is not won in the game won for the special combination.

Non-internal games correspond to non-RT, RT1, and RT2. Further, the inside game corresponds to RT3.
During the execution of AT, which will be described later, the slot machine 10 is controlled so that it stays at RT2, but when a player presses the stop switch 42 in the wrong order, it stays at non-RT or RT1. There is also a case.

Further, even during non-AT, there is a case where the process shifts to RT2.
First, all of the non-RT, RT1, and RT2 are non-inside games, and in these non-inside games, a lottery of condition item condition devices is performed. When the special combination is won in these RTs and the special combination is not won, the RT gaming state control unit 69 determines that the RT transition condition is satisfied, and shifts to RT3 corresponding to the internal middle game. .

  It is also possible to transition to RT at the moment of winning the special role and define the game won for the special role as an internal game. However, in the present embodiment, as described above, since the RT transition condition is at all stops, the game is a non-internal middle game from the time of winning the special role (moment) until the current stop of all games. When all the games in the winning combination are stopped (when no special role has been won), the game moves to an internal game. In addition, when a special role is won in a game that has been won as a special role, the game shifts to a special game (1BB game or 2BB game) at the time of all stops of the current game, so in this case, it does not go through RT3 (internal game) .

RT3 continues until the winning special role wins. When the RT game state control means 69 determines that 1BB or 2BB has won in RT3, the RT game state control means 69 determines that the RT transition condition is satisfied, and shifts to 1BB game or 2BB game, respectively.
When transitioning to 1BB game, it continues until the end condition of 1BB game is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the end condition for the 1BB game is set to pay out more than 264 medals. In the 1BB game, the small role E wins every game and pays out 8 games (winning of the small role 01) every game. Therefore, in the 34th game, the number of payouts exceeds 264.
The RT game state control means 69 determines whether or not more than 264 medals have been paid out in each game and 1BB game. It is determined that it is satisfied, and control is performed so as to shift to non-RT from the next game.

The same applies to the 2BB game. When shifting to 2BB game, it continues until the end condition of 2BB game is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the end condition of the 2BB game is set to pay out more than 55 medals.
The RT game state control means 69 determines whether or not more than 55 medals have been paid out in each game and 2BB game. When it is determined that more than 55 medals have been paid out, the RT game state control means 69 determines the end condition of the 2BB game. It is determined that it is satisfied, and control is performed so as to shift to non-RT from the next game.
Note that the game is also started from non-RT when the RWM 53 is initialized.

  In the non-RT, the RT gaming state control means 69 continues non-RT until a special figure is displayed. In non-RT, a small combination A1 to small combination B6 are drawn, and if any of these condition devices is won and the selected small combination is missed in this game, a special figure is displayed. When the special figure is displayed, the RT gaming state control means 69 determines that the RT transition condition is satisfied, and shifts to RT1 from the next game.

  RT1 is continued until (1) replay 03 or 04 is stopped and displayed, (2) replay 01 or 02 is stopped and displayed, and (3) small roles 02 to 27 are stopped and displayed. In RT1, when the replays B1 to B6 are won and the replay 03 or 04 is stopped and displayed by operating the stop switch 42 in the correct pressing order, the process shifts to RT2 from the next game. In addition, when the replays B1 to B6 are won in RT1 and the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect pressing order, and the replay 01 or 02 is stopped and displayed, the next game shifts to non-RT. Furthermore, when one of the small roles 02 to 27 is stopped and displayed by winning the small role A1 to the small role B6 in RT1 and operating the stop switch 42 in the order of the incorrect answer, the next game is started. , Transition to non-RT.

RT2 is continued until (1) a special figure is displayed, (2) replay 01 or 02 is stopped and displayed, and (3) small roles 02 to 27 are stopped and displayed. In RT2, when any of the special drawings (Special Drawings 01 to 03) is stopped and displayed by winning the small combination A1 to small combination B6 and operating the stop switch 42 in the order of incorrect answer pressing, the next time From game, transition to RT1.
In addition, when the replays B1 to B6 are won in RT2 and the replay 01 or 02 is stopped and displayed by operating the stop switch 42 in the incorrect answer pressing order, the next game shifts to non-RT. Furthermore, when one of the small roles 02 to 27 is stopped and displayed by winning the small roles A1 to C6 in RT2 and operating the stop switch 42 in the order of incorrect answer pressing, from the next game, Transition to non-RT.

In the above RT transition, the transition between non-RT, RT1, and RT2 is repeated during non-internal and non-AT. However, RT2 does not shift unless the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order of “1/6” when the replays B1 to B6 are won in RT1. Further, after the transition to RT2, when the replay B1 to B6 is won or the small switch A1 to C6 is won and the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of incorrect answer pressing, the transition is made to non-RT or RT1. For this reason, during non-AT, the probability of staying in RT2 is small (the probability of staying is the lowest). Therefore, many non-internal and non-AT stay in non-RT or RT1.
In this embodiment, the penalty is not set in a specific push order during non-AT, and it is not set so that it does not shift to RT2 unless it passes through a plurality of RTs from RT1, but RT2 during non-AT. It is difficult to move (stay). In this embodiment, since it is not necessary to have a plurality of RTs before shifting from RT1 to RT2, the type of replay for shifting RTs can be reduced as compared with the prior art. Thereby, the main capacity can be reduced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the small combination A1 to B6 is won, the transition is made to non-RT when one winning combination is won, and to RT1 when the special figure is displayed. That is, a plurality of RT transition destinations are set in accordance with the stop event when the push order is incorrect when the push order is won. By setting in this way, it is possible to prevent the number of replays for shifting RT from being increased. Thereby, the main capacity can be reduced.

In FIG. 1, the main game state control means 70 determines whether or not the transition conditions for each game and the main game state are satisfied. It is something to control. Although the main gaming state and the RT are related, they shift independently.
FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the main game state.
Here, the “main game state” is also described in the explanation of FIG.
Main gaming state 0: Normal Main gaming state 1: AT precursor Main gaming state 2: AT preparation Main gaming state 3: AT
6 types of main game state 4: 1BB game main game state 5: 2BB game.
Although it is possible to assign the main gaming state in the 1BB or the main gaming state in the 2BB, this is not set in this embodiment. That is, even if the special combination is won while staying in the main gaming state 0 to 3, the main gaming state is not shifted, and the main gaming state is shifted when the selected special combination wins.

The main game state 0 (normal time) is a game in which the AT is not won (the number of AT stocks = “0”).
When the AT is won in the main gaming state 0, the main gaming state control means 70 determines the number of AT precursor games by lottery. The number of precursor games is determined using a random number within a range of “0” to “32”. The number of precursor games may be determined by the main game state control means 70 or when the AT lottery means 63 described above is won by the AT lottery.

  If the AT is won in the main game state 0 (normal time), the next game shifts to the main game state 1 (AT precursor). Then, the player stays in the main gaming state 1 for the number of games determined at the time of winning the AT (the number of precursor games) (except when the special role is won). Therefore, the main game state control means 70 counts the number of games and games (subtracts the number of precursor games) when shifting to the AT precursor. When “the number of precursor games =“ 0 ””, the game shifts to the main game state 2 (AT preparation) from the next game.

The main game state 2 continues until the AT start condition is satisfied or the special combination is won. In the present embodiment, the main game state control means 70 shifts from the next game to the main game state 3 (AT) when the AT start condition is satisfied in the main game state 2.
In AT preparation which is the main game state 2, it is a push order instruction state (FIG. 15). Therefore, basically, in the main gaming state 2, when a condition device having a correct answer pressing order is selected, the correct answer pressing order is notified. Therefore, when replays B1 to B6 are won, the correct answer push order for winning replay 03 or 04 is notified, and when the small roles A1 to C6 (push order bell) are won, the correct answer push order (push to win the higher order) Order, push order that does not cause RT to fall down).

Here, various AT start conditions that satisfy the transition from the main gaming state 2 to the main gaming state 3 can be set. For example, the following contents can be given.
First, it is determined that the AT start condition is satisfied when the player stays at RT1 in the main game state 2 and wins replays B1 to B6 at RT1 and wins replay 03 or 04. When Replay 03 or 04 wins in RT1, RT2 is started from the next game. This is because RT2 is set to have a higher replay winning probability than other RTs, and is an RT to be stayed when performing AT.

  However, when one of the replays B1 to B6 is elected in the main game state 2 and the correct answer pressing order for winning the replay 03 or 04 is notified, but the stop switch 42 is not operated in accordance with the correct answer pressing order. Even so, it is preferable to shift to the main gaming state 3 from the next game and start AT.

  Basically, in the main game state 2, since the correct answer pressing order of the small roles A1 to C6 is notified, the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order only when the small roles A1 to C6 are selected, and the replay B1 This is because it is possible to deliberately do not operate the stop switch 42 in the correct pushing order when winning B6 (in the main game state 2, the number of AT games is added when winning the small role D1 or small role D2 This is because it is advantageous to stay for a long time because the lottery is performed.) Unless the replay 03 or 04 wins, if it is set not to start the main game state 3, that is, AT, it becomes possible to stay in the main game state 2 for a long time. In order to prevent this strategy, in this embodiment, when the main game state is 2 and RT1, the replay B1 to B6 winning (regardless of the replay 03 or 04 winning) will satisfy the AT start condition. .

When the main game state 2 is RT1 and the stop switch 42 is not operated in the correct push order as described above, the replay 01 or 02 wins and the next game shifts to non-RT. Therefore, in this case, the main gaming state 3 and the non-RT state are set.
On the other hand, it is conceivable that the correct push order is not notified when winning the small roles A1 to C6 in the main game state 2, but if this is done, it is considered that there is no concern of not intentionally shifting to the main game state 3. .

In addition, when transitioning to the main gaming state 2, there may be a case of non-RT or RT2.
If it is non-RT when the game state is changed to the main game state 2, first, it is necessary to display a special figure in order to change to RT1. Therefore, when winning the small roles A1 to B6, the correct pressing order is not notified, and the probability that a special figure is displayed is increased. In addition, it is possible to raise the probability that a special figure will be displayed by alerting | reporting the incorrect answer pressing order at the time of small part A1-B6 winning. However, the incorrect pressing order notified here is the pressing order to shift from non-RT to RT1, but the pressing order that is disadvantageous to the player (the pressing order in which eight winning combinations do not win, the three winning combinations do not win) In order, the notification may not be permitted. Further, when winning the small roles C1 to C6, the correct pressing order is notified. This is because the special figure is not displayed when winning the small roles C1 to C6. Of course, the correct pressing order may not be notified even when the small roles C1 to C6 are won.

Therefore, normally, it waits until a special chart is displayed in non-RT, and when the special chart is displayed and moves to RT1, as described above, it waits until replay B1-B6 is won, and replay B1-B6. Is won, the correct push order for replay 03 or 04 is notified, and the next game shifts to the main game state 3.
Furthermore, when the game state has already shifted to the main game state 2, when it is already RT2, the main game state 3 (AT) can be started immediately. The AT is started.

  Furthermore, in the main game state 2, the small roles A1 to C6 are elected and the correct pressing order is notified, but when the stop switch 42 is operated in a pressing order different from the correct pressing order, it is determined that the AT start condition is satisfied. To do. For example, if the small combination A1 to C6 is won in the main gaming state 2 and RT1, and the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of the incorrect answer and the small combination 02 to 27 wins, the game shifts to the non-RT from the next game. However, in this case, it takes a certain number of games to guide to RT2 again (while staying in the main gaming state 2). Furthermore, the fact that the stop switch 42 was not operated in the correct push order despite displaying the correct push order is due to the player (the stop switch 42 is intentionally pressed in the incorrect push order). Since it may have been operated), the AT is started without any relief.

  As is apparent from the above, the AT start condition is not set to have shifted from RT1 to RT2. If the stop switch 42 is always operated in the incorrect pressing order when the replays B1 to B6 are won, it will not shift to RT2, and therefore it will not intentionally shift to RT2 (intentionally continue to stay in the main gaming state 2) ) Is possible.

When the AT start condition is satisfied in the main game state 2, the next game shifts to the main game state 3 (AT).
The main game state 3 continues until the number of AT games is consumed. When the number of AT games is exhausted and the AT stock number is “0”, the state shifts to the main gaming state 0.
Since the main game state 3 is AT, as shown in FIG. 15, it is a push order instruction state. Therefore, when the small roles A1 to C6 are selected, the correct answer pressing order is notified, and when the replays B1 to B6 are selected, the replay 03 or 04 is won (the replay 01 or 02 is not won (the RT is not dropped)). Announces the pressing order.

  However, because the stop switch 42 was not operated in the correct pressing order when winning the small roles A1 to B6 due to an operation error of the stop switch 42 by the player, when the special figure is displayed, the game will fall to RT1 from the next game. . In RT1, when the replays B1 to B6 are won, the correct answer pressing order for winning the replay 03 or 04 is notified, so if the stop switch 42 is operated in accordance with the correct answer pressing order, the replay 03 or 04 is won and the next game is started. It is possible to return to RT2.

  Also, since the stop switch 42 was not operated in the correct pressing order when the small roles A1 to C6 were won, the stop switch 42 was operated in the correct pressing order when the small roles 02 to 27 were displayed or when the replay B1 to B6 were selected. If replay 01 or 02 is displayed because it was not played, the next game shifts to non-RT. If it shifts to non-RT, until the special figure is displayed, the correct pressing order is not notified at the time of winning the small roles A1 to B6. If a special figure is displayed at the time of winning the small roles A1 to B6, the game shifts to RT1 from the next game. The method for shifting from RT1 to RT2 is the same as described above.

  In the main game state 0 (normal), main game state 1 (AT precursor), main game state 2 (AT preparation), main game state 3 (AT), if 1BB or 2BB is won, the main game state will be Although the main game state is maintained, RT shifts from the previous RT to RT3, and is in 1BB or 2BB. Therefore, even if the player wins 1BB or 2BB in the main game state 3 (AT) and moves to RT3, that is, inside, the AT (main game state 3) is continued unless the winning 1BB or 2BB wins. However, the subtraction of the number of AT games stops.

Further, when transitioning to RT3, as shown in FIG. 21, there is no transition to RT with a specific replay or a specific small role. When transitioning to RT3, the user stays at RT3 until the winning 1BB or 2BB wins.
When the winning 1BB wins, the game moves to the main gaming state 4 (during 1BB gaming). When the 1BB game is executed and the 1BB game is ended, as shown in FIG. 22, when there is no AT stock, the game shifts to the main game state 0, and when the AT stock exists, the game shifts to the main game state 2. . Note that RT returns to non-RT when returning to either of these main gaming states 0 or 2 (FIG. 21).

  The same applies to 2BB. When the winning 2BB wins, it shifts to the main gaming state 5 (during 2BB gaming). When the 2BB game is executed and the 2BB game is finished, as shown in FIG. 22, when there is no AT stock, the game shifts to the main game state 0. When the AT stock is held, the game shifts to the main game state 2. . In addition, RT returns to non-RT even if it returns to either of these main game states 0 or 2.

During 1BB or 2BB games, AT lottery is executed, so even if 1BB or 2BB does not have AT stock before winning, it has AT stock at the end of 1BB or 2BB games There is.
In addition, when 1BB or 2BB is won during main game state 1 (AT precursor), main game state 2 (AT preparation), or main game state 3 (AT), after the end of 1BB game or 2BB game, it will be uniform , Transition to the main gaming state 2 (AT preparation). Therefore, even when 1BB or 2BB is won in the main gaming state 1 (AT precursor) and the number of precursor games is not consumed at that time, the remaining precursor game number is cleared (“0”). Same).

In addition, when 1BB or 2BB is won during the main game state 3 (AT) and the game shifts to the 1BB game or the 2BB game, the game shifts to the main game state 2 after the end of the 1BB game or the 2BB game. When returning to (AT), the remaining AT game number is digested again (the remaining number of games is subtracted). However, not limited to this, when 1BB or 2BB is won during the main game state 3 (AT) and the game shifts to the 1BB game or the 2BB game, the game returns to the main game state 3 after the end of the 1BB game or the 2BB game. In some cases, the initial number of AT games may be set again (the AT game number may be reset).
As described above, during the 1BB game and the 2BB game, the AT stock lottery is performed. Therefore, when these stock lotteries are won, the number of winning stocks is added to the AT stock number at that time.

  After the end of the 1BB game or the 2BB game, the game is uniformly shifted to non-RT (FIG. 21). Therefore, in the case of having an AT stock, when a transition is made to the non-RT and main game state 2, first, a special figure is displayed and control is performed to shift to RT1. Therefore, the correct pressing order is not notified when the small roles A1 to B6 are won. When winning the small roles C1 to C6, the correct pressing order is notified. And if a special figure is displayed in non-RT, it will transfer to RT1 from the next game. After shifting to RT1, the correct answer pressing order is notified when the small roles A1 to C6 are won. This is to prevent falling from RT1 to non-RT. In RT1, the player waits until the replays B1 to B6 are won, and when the replays B1 to B6 are won, the correct answer push order for winning the replay 03 or 04 is notified, and the next game shifts to the main game state 3, that is, AT. . When replay 03 or 04 wins, the process proceeds to RT2.

If the player stays in the main gaming state 3 and RT2 and is performing AT, and the player falls to non-RT or RT1 due to an operation error of the stop switch 42, the number of AT games is not RT or RT1. You may make it digest even between.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when it falls to non-RT or RT1 during AT, subtraction of the number of AT games is interrupted between non-RT and RT1. That is, if the player falls to non-RT or RT1 due to a mistaken operation of the stop switch 42 during AT, the number of AT games is subtracted until returning to RT2 (RT suitable for performing AT). Is set to “AT returning (main game state 3)”.

In the case of AT return and non-RT, when the small roles A1 to B6 are won, the correct pressing order is not notified. This is because a special figure is displayed to shift to RT1. In the case of AT return and non-RT, even though the small roles A1 to B6 are won and the correct push order is not notified, the player accidentally operates the stop switch 42 in the correct push order to Even when winning a winning combination 01 or 28, or operating the stop switch 42 in the incorrect order of pressing and winning winning a small role 02 to small role 27, the status of returning to AT is maintained (non-RT is also maintained) ).
In the present embodiment, the winning order of the small roles A1 to B6 where the special figure may be displayed is set higher than the winning probability of the small roles C1 to C6 where the special figure is not displayed. It is set so that the probability that a special figure is displayed at the time of winning the bell (small roles A1 to C6) is high.

In the case of AT return and non-RT, when the small roles A1 to B6 are won and a special figure is displayed, the process proceeds to RT1, but the AT return is maintained.
In non-RT, the replays B1 to B6 are not lottery.
Furthermore, in the case of AT return and non-RT, when the small roles C1 to C6 are won, the correct pressing order is notified. Here, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct answer pressing order, the AT is restored and the non-RT is maintained. On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 is not operated in the correct push order even though the correct push order is notified, the correct push order is notified although the correct push order is notified on the slot machine 10 side. This means that the stop switch 42 was not operated in this case, so in this case, the remedy for the player after that is terminated and forcibly returned to the AT (although the correct push order is notified, The reason why the stop switch 42 is not operated in the correct pressing order many times is because there is a possibility that there is some wrong intention.) In the case of AT return and non-RT, the push order is incorrect when the small roles C1 to C6 are won, and even if the small role 26 or 27 wins, there is no RT transition. Therefore, it becomes AT and non-RT from the next game.

  In the case of AT return and RT1, when the replays B1 to B6 are won, the correct answer pressing order (the pressing order for winning the replay 03 or 04) is notified. Further, with the winning, the AT is returned to the AT from the time of AT return. Here, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order, the replay 03 or 04 wins, so the next game will be AT and RT2.

  On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of incorrect answer pressing, the replay 01 or 02 wins and becomes non-RT from the next game. Therefore, the next game in this case is AT and non-RT.

  In the case of AT return and RT1, when the small plays A1 to C6 are won before winning the replays B1 to B6, the correct pressing order is notified. This is because if the small switch A1 to C6 is won and the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of incorrect answer and any of the small roles 02 to 27 wins, the game shifts to non-RT.

  However, before winning the replays B1 to B6, the small roles A1 to C6 were won and the correct answer pressing order was notified. However, if the stop switch 42 was not operated in the correct answer pressing order, Return. That is, when the stop switch 42 is not operated in the correct answer pressing order even though the correct answer pressing order is notified on the slot machine 10 side, it is forcibly returned to the AT. Note that if the small combination A1 to C6 is won and the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect answer pressing order during the return to AT and RT1, and any of the small combinations 02 to 27 wins, the next game becomes non-RT. Therefore, the next game in this case is AT and non-RT.

  In addition, the stop switch 42 is not operated in the correct pressing order even though the small roles A1 to B6 are won and the correct pressing order is notified before the replays B1 to B6 are selected in the RT1 and at RT1. When the special figure is displayed, the next game remains RT1. Therefore, the next game in this case is AT and RT1.

  It should be noted that when the AT is returning to non-RT or RT1, the payout rate does not exceed “1” (the difference number does not exceed “0”). For example, during AT return and non-RT, a special figure is displayed, so that the correct pressing order is not notified when the small roles A1 to B6 are won. In addition, when the small roles C1 to C6 are selected, the correct pressing order is notified. However, when these condition devices are selected, the payout number is 3 regardless of whether the pressing order is correct / incorrect, so the difference is positive. There is no.

Furthermore, during the AT return and RT1, the correct answer pressing order is also notified when the small roles A1 to B6 are won. The number of payouts is 8 for the correct answer in the pushing order when winning the small roles A1 to A6, and the payout number is 3 for the correct answer in the pushing order when winning the small roles B1 to B6.
Here, in the game at the time of replay winning, when the inserted number is 3 and the paid-out number is 3, the expected number of payouts when the correct push order is notified at the time of push order bell winning in RT1 is as follows.
Replay B1 to B6, Replay D: Expected number of payouts “0.41868”
Small roles A1-A6: Expected number of payouts “1.54541”
Small roles B1 to B6: Expected number of payouts “0.35706”
Small roles C1 to C6: Expected number of payouts “0.08240”
Small roles D1, D2: Expected number of payouts “0.00024”

In RT1, the combined number of replays B1 to B6 and replay D is “1470 × 6 + 326 = 9146” as shown in FIG. Therefore, the winning probability is “9146 / 65536≈0.13956”. Therefore, the expected number of payouts is “0.13956 × 3 = 0.48868”.
The total value of the expected number of payouts for each combination is the expected value of the number of payouts at RT1 during return from AT, and the total is “2.404”. Therefore, the expected number of differences per game (expected number of payouts−inserted number) is “−0.596 (sheets)”, which is not positive. As a result, even if the correct pressing order is notified at the time of winning the small roles A1 to C6 in RT1, the difference number can be kept negative, so that it is not more advantageous during the AT return than during the AT. .

In addition, when the special combination is won during the AT return or when the number of AT games is added and the lottery is won, the following control is performed.
FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of when a special role is won during AT or during return to AT, or when an AT lottery is won. In FIG. 23 and FIG. 24 to be described later, 1BB is given as an example of winning the special role, but the same applies to 2BB.
First, FIGS. 23A and 23B are diagrams showing an example of 1BB winning notification timing when 1BB is won during AT or during AT return and the process shifts to RT3 (inside).

  When 1BB is won in the main game state 3, the subtraction of the AT game number is stopped. In the main game state 3 (during AT), the number of remaining AT games is displayed on the image display device 23, but when the subtraction of the AT game number is stopped when 1BB is won, 1BB has been won. Will be understood by the player. Therefore, when 1BB is won during the main game state 3 (AT), subtraction of the AT game number as control is stopped, but the remaining game number on the image display is subtracted as it is when it is stopped. And have. When the number of games is subtracted as it is on the image display, it becomes a fake.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (a), when 1BB is won in the main game state 3 (RT2), the game shifts to RT3 (inside) from the next game. When shifting to RT3, the subtraction of the number of AT games stops. When 1BB is won, the output of the continuous effect is started, and the fact that 1BB has been won is notified at the end of the continuous effect. The number of games from winning 1BB to starting the output of continuous production is arbitrary, but it may be set to 1-3 games, for example.

  The example of FIG. 23B shows an example in which the player falls to non-RT or RT1 due to an operation mistake of the stop switch 42 of the player in the main gaming state 3 (RT2). Even if the game state falls from RT2 to non-RT or RT1, the main gaming state 3 is continued, but subtraction of the AT game number and subtraction of the remaining game number on the image display are stopped, and the AT is being restored. An example of winning 1BB during the return to AT is shown. If 1BB is won in non-RT or RT1, the next game shifts to RT3.

  Therefore, in this case, the process does not return to RT2. Also, if it is originally, when returning to RT2 during AT recovery, the subtraction of the AT game number and the subtraction of the remaining game number on the image display are resumed. However, when a transition is made from non-RT or RT1 to RT3 (without going through RT2), the subtraction of the AT game number and the subtraction of the remaining game number on the image display remain stopped. In such a case, when 1BB is won, 1BB is immediately notified without performing a continuous performance. The 1BB winning notification is shown to be performed in the game won by 1BB (non-RT or RT1), but may be performed after the next game shifts to RT3.

FIGS. 23C and 23D show an example in which an extra lottery is performed for the number of AT games during AT or during AT return, and this extra lottery is won.
In the example of FIG. 23C, the number of AT games is added in the main game state 3 (AT) and the lottery is won. In this case, the extra effect is started from the game won in the extra lottery. Then, after performing an extra effect composed of one to several games (in the case of an effect over two or more games, it may be a continuous effect), and then the number of additional games is notified. The number of games from winning the extra lottery until starting the extra presentation is arbitrary, but for example, it may be set to 1 to 3 games. Further, the number of added games may be divided and notified. Furthermore, an extra effect (notification of the number of extra games) may be performed in the final game of the AT.

On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 23 (d), while falling to non-RT or RT1 during AT and returning to AT (returning to RT2, subtracting the number of AT games and remaining games on the image display) In this example, the rare role is won and the additional lottery is performed as a result of the extra lottery before the subtraction of the number is resumed. In such a case, no extra effect is performed during return from AT. The extra effect may be performed after returning to the AT. In this case, after returning to AT, the number of added games may be notified at a predetermined timing, or after a continuous effect (a prelude effect of several games), an additional effect (notification of the number of added games) may be performed. Furthermore, an extra effect (notification of the number of extra games) may be performed in the final game of the AT.
It should be noted that during the return to AT, even if a rare role is won, an additional lottery may not be performed.

FIG. 24 shows an example in which the number of AT games is fixed to “50”, the number of AT games is not added, and there is a continuous lottery. Further, FIG. 24 shows the number of AT games (the number of games being executed) displayed on the image display device 23 (“sub game” “AT game number display” in the figure).
First, in FIG. 24 (a), when the remaining number of AT games is "3", that is, when the number of AT games is "48", the continuous production (AT continuous production) is started and the AT stock is provided. This is an example in which an effect is output (whether or not the AT of the “50” game is executed again). If the number of AT stock is “0”, the “50” game (the last game of the AT) outputs an effect that the AT stock is not present (to end the AT) and ends the AT. To do. On the other hand, when the AT stock number is “1” or more, an effect that the AT stock is held is output by the “50” game (the final game of the AT), and after the “50” game ends, the game is again performed. The first game of the next AT is started.

FIGS. 24B and 24C show an example in which 1BB is won during AT and the process moves to RT3.
As shown in FIG. 24 (b), when 1BB is won in the “44” game of the AT and the game shifts from the “45” game to the RT3, when the 1BB win effect is output after the RT3 transfer, the “48” game There is a risk that it will be covered with a continuous production (AT continuation production) scheduled to be output. For this reason, in the example of FIG. 24B, even if 1BB is won, 1BB winning notification based on the winning of 1BB is not performed, and in the continuous effect (AT continuous effect) output after the “48” game, 1BB winning notification is performed (for example, 1BB winning notification is performed in the “50” game (AT final game)). In the example of FIG. 24B, when the number of AT stocks is present, the AT continuation notification may be performed simultaneously with the 1BB winning notification, or only the 1BB winning notification is performed, and the AT continuation effect is performed thereafter (for example, 1BB). It may be done at the end of the game.
In the example of FIG. 24B, after winning 1BB, the number of remaining AT games on the image display is subtracted (the number of AT games (the number of games executed) is added) The subtraction of the number of AT games within the control stops simultaneously with the transition to RT3.

  FIG. 24C shows an example in which 1BB is won in the “30” game of AT and the game moves from RT “31” to RT3. As described above, when the number of AT games is not close to the end, 1BB winning notification is performed based on 1BB winning (for example, at the start of a game won by 1BB, at the end of a game won by 1BB, or 1BB can be displayed. 1BB winning notification is given at the start of the game.) In addition, when 1BB winning notification is made based on 1BB winning, the subtraction of the AT game number is stopped, the subtraction (update) of the AT remaining game number displayed on the image display device 23, and the AT game number Addition (update) of (number of running games) is also stopped. It should be noted that, after the AT starts, by what game 1BB is won, the control of FIG. 24 (c) is performed, and after what game 1BB is won, the control of FIG. 24 (b) is performed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), when 1BB is won after the “44” game (including the “44” game), the control of FIG. 24 (b) is performed. If “1BB” is won by the “43” game, the control shown in FIG.

FIG. 24D shows an example in which a push order error occurs in the “45” game and falls to RT1 (which may be non-RT. The same applies to FIG. 24E described later).
In this case, as described above, since AT recovery is in progress, the subtraction of the number of AT games and the subtraction of the remaining number of games displayed on the image display device 23 are stopped and displayed on the image display device 23. The addition of the number of AT games (the number of games being executed) is also stopped at “45”. Then, an example is shown in which 1BB is won when RT1 is returning to AT and the process moves to RT3. In this case, in the 1BB winning game, the 1BB winning notification is immediately made (for example, at the start of the game won by 1BB, at the end of the game won by 1BB, or at the start of a game in which 1BB can be displayed). 1BB winning notification is performed.)
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), even if 1BB is won after the "44" game (including the "44" game), 1BB winning notification based on the 1BB winning is immediately performed. First, in the continuous production (AT continuation production) output after the “48” game, the 1BB winning announcement is made simultaneously.
However, as shown in FIG. 24 (d), even when 1BB is won in the “45” game, if it is returning to the AT, 1BB winning notification is immediately made. This is because if 1BB is won during AT return, it cannot return to AT (RT2) in subsequent games. Even if the AT is returning, if 1BB is won after the “44” game (including the “44” game), the 1BB winning notification based on the 1BB winning is not immediately performed, and “48” This is because if the 1BB winning notification is made simultaneously in the continuous effect (AT continuing effect) output after the game, the 1BB winning notification will not be performed forever.

  FIG. 24 (e) shows that the push order error occurs in the “45” game, falls to RT1, then returns to AT (RT2), subtracts the number of AT games, and is displayed on the image display device 23. The subtraction of the remaining number of games and the addition of the number of AT games displayed on the image display device 23 (the number of games being executed) resumed, but an example of winning 1BB in the “47” game is shown. Yes. When winning 1BB in the “47” game, the internal subtraction of the AT game number stops. However, as in FIG. 24B, when the number of AT games at the time of shifting to RT3 is “45” or more, subtraction (update) of the number of remaining AT games on the image display device 23 and image display are performed. The addition (update) of the number of AT games (the number of games being executed) displayed on the device 23 continues. In addition, even if 1BB is won, 1BB winning notification based on the winning of 1BB is not performed, and 1BB winning notification is simultaneously performed in the continuous performance (AT continuing effect) output after the “48” game (for example, “ 50 ”game (AT final game), 1BB winning notification will be made.)

  When the subtraction of the AT game number is stopped and 1BB game is subsequently executed, AT (main game state 3) based on the remaining AT game number is resumed after the end of 1BB game. The same applies when a 2BB game is executed.

In FIG. 1, the external signal transmission means 71 transmits an external signal to the external concentration terminal board 100. This external signal is a signal indicating AT start, AT end (without AT continuation), AT end (with AT continuation), special game start, and special game end.
FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining external signal transmission by the external signal transmission means 71. As shown in FIG. 25, each game and game end check process (described later) is performed, and the external signal control number (“_NB_INF_OUT”, see FIG. 2) is updated during the game end check process. The external signal control number is one of “0” to “4”. As shown in FIG. 25, a predetermined value is stored when there is a change in state, and “0” is stored otherwise. Remembered. For example, “2” is stored when the main game state 2 shifts to the main game state 3.

  Further, when the start switch 41 is operated, the external signal flag (“_FL_INF_OUT”, see FIG. 2) is updated. As shown in FIG. 25, the external signal flag includes an external signal 1 flag to an external signal 3 flag. On / off of the external signal 1 flag to the external signal 3 flag differs depending on the value of the external signal control number. For example, as shown in FIG. 25, when the external signal control number is “3”, the external signal 1 flag is “off”, the external signal 2 flag is “off”, and the external signal 3 flag is “on”. . In this case, the D2 bit of the external signal flag is “1 (on)”, and the other bits are “0 (off)”. When the external signal flag is set, the external signal control number is cleared (set to “0”).

  As will be described later, the main control board 60 executes an “interrupt process” every 2.235 ms in parallel with the game progress main process in addition to the “game progress main process” which is a process of repeating each game. In this interrupt process, the lighting control of the medal display device (7-segment), the drive control of the reel 31, and the like are performed. One of the processes performed in this interrupt process is the transmission of an external signal. As described above, when the external signal flag is determined, the external signal transmission unit 71 transmits the external signal of the bit corresponding to the external signal flag from the output port (“5” in the present embodiment). For example, as described later, when only the external signal 3 flag (D2 bit) is “1”, the signal is “00000100”. Further, when the external signal output from the output port 5 is input to the external concentration terminal board 100, the signal is transmitted to the hall computer.

  The external signal 1 flag, the external signal 2 flag, and the external signal 3 flag are output to, for example, a data counter as an AT signal, a BB signal, and an RB signal, respectively. The AT signal, the BB signal, and the RB signal indicate allocation to bits that have been conventionally used, and do not mean that the RB signal is output after the RB game is started. By turning on / off the AT signal, the BB signal, and the RB signal, the signal indicates the above-described distinction between AT start, AT end (without AT continuation), AT end (with AT continuation), special game start, and special game end. .

  More specifically, since the external signal control number is “3” at the time of 1BB or 2BB display, only the external signal 3 flag is “1 (ON)”, so that the level output of the RB signal is obtained. On the other hand, when the main game state 2 is shifted to the main game state 3 (at the start of AT), the external signal control number is “2”, so that the external signal 1 flag, the external signal 2 flag, and the external signal 3 flag are all. “1 (on)”. In this case, as shown in FIG. 25, the external signal 1 flag (AT signal) and the external signal 2 flag (BB signal) are level output, and the external signal 3 flag (RB signal) is pulse output. FIG. 25 shows an example when the RB signal is a pulse output and the BB signal is a level output. In this example, the BB signal rises almost simultaneously with the fall of the RB signal. (If the RB signal and the BB signal rise at the same time, either data signal may not be received on the data counter side. , Not trying to stand up at the same time.) However, it is not limited to this.

In FIG. 1, the control command transmission means 72 of the main control board 60 transmits information (control command) necessary for the effect output from the sub control board 80 to the sub control board 80.
FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating an example of a control command transmitted by the control command transmitting unit 72. The control command is not limited to that shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 26, the control command includes a first control command and a second control command. Each of the first control command and the second control command is 8-bit 1-byte data. One control command is a pair of the first control command and the second control command. Further, the first control command is data indicating the type of control command, and the second control command is data indicating a parameter (variable). In FIG. 26, parameters (variables) are indicated by “##”.

For example, in the case of a control command indicating an RT gaming state number, since the first control command is “33 (H)”, it is “00110011 (B)”. Further, the parameter of the RT gaming state number is a value stored in “_NB_RT_STS”, and for example, when it is RT1, “00000001 (B)”. Therefore, the 2-byte data obtained by combining these, “00110011/00000001” (“/” indicates the interval between the first control command and the second control command, and is not actually present) is the RT gaming state number. The control command is transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub control board 80.
As for the push order instruction number, effect group number, accessory condition device number, and main game state number, the first control command is the type data shown in FIG. Are all data stored in the RWM 53.

When the condition device having the correct push order is selected in the main game state 2 or 3 (push order instruction state), a push order instruction number corresponding to the correct push order is acquired and stored in the RWM 53. On the other hand, the push order instruction number is not acquired and stored in the RWM 53 except when the condition device having the correct push order in the main game state 2 or 3 is selected. Here, when the data of the push order instruction number of the RWM 53 is cleared, “A0” is set. Therefore, the data of the push order instruction number of the RWM 53 is “A0” except when the condition device having the correct push order in the main game state 2 or 3 is selected. When the push order instruction number is “A0”, the actual data value of the RWM 53 is “10100000 (B)”.
The control command indicating that the push order instruction number is “A0” is “00111001/10100000” because the first control command is “39 (H)”.

“## (*)” of the second control command in the first stop switch operation, the second stop switch operation, and the third stop switch operation, as shown in FIG. 26, the stop symbol number indicates the lower 5 bits. The number indicates the upper 3 bits. When the stop symbol number is “12” (decimal number), for example, “01100 (B)” is obtained, and when the stop frame number is “3” (decimal number), for example, “011 (B)” is obtained. The second control command is “01100011 (B)”.
Furthermore, the second control command in the first reel stop, the second reel stop, and the third reel stop is “FF (H)” (“11111111 (B)”).

In FIG. 1, the sub CPU 85 of the sub control board 80 includes effect output control means 91.
As described above, the effect output control means 91 is a control command transmitted from the main control board 60, specifically, a main game state number, an RT game state number, a push order instruction number, an effect group number, an accessory. Based on each control command such as the condition device number, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what effect is output (how the lamp 21 is operated) Specific effects such as lighting, blinking or extinguishing, what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, and the like are determined by lottery.

Then, the effect output control means 91 controls the output of the effect lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 according to the determination. Further, during the special game or AT, the acquired number of games, the number of games (the number of remaining games, the number of games being executed) and the like are displayed as images. Further, during AT, the correct answer pressing order is notified (image display).
In addition, since the information of “A0” is transmitted as the push order instruction number during non-AT, the sub control board 80 does not notify the correct push order during non-AT. However, it is possible to notify the pressing order of “left middle right” as a mere effect when a condition device unrelated to the pressing order, for example, Replay A is won.

  Furthermore, it can be said that the control command of the production group number does not include information on which condition device is actually won, but includes rough winning information. For example, when the control command corresponding to the production group number “5” is received, the sub-control board 80 cannot know which of the small roles A1 to A6 is won. However, it can be known whether one of the small roles A1 to A6 is won. Therefore, it is possible to output effects such as displaying the symbol of “bell” or lighting the frame lamp with “yellow” which is the corresponding color of “bell”.

  Further, the sub control board 80 receives the push order instruction number transmitted from the main control board 60. Here, when in the push order instruction state (main game state 2 or 3), the push order instruction number corresponding to the correct push order is transmitted, but when it is not in the push order instruction state, regardless of the selected condition device. The transmitted push order instruction number is “A0” (no push order). Then, in the case of the main game state 2 or 3 that is the push order instruction state, the effect output control means 91 receives the correct answer corresponding to the received push order instruction number when it receives other than the push order instruction number “A0”. Announces the pressing order. For example, when winning a small role A1 in a game in the main game state 3 (AT) and receiving a control command corresponding to the push order instruction number “A7”, the correct answer push order “left first stop” Alternatively, a content such as “1- ○-○” that the player can easily know the correct pressing order is notified.

  In the present embodiment, the main control board 60 displays the push order instruction information separately from the notification of the correct push order by the sub control board 80 in the main game state 2 or 3 which is the push order instruction state. The push order instruction information is displayed by the acquisition number display LED 39 in the medal display device. For example, in the main game state 3, when the small role A1 is won as described above, the push order instruction information “= 7” corresponding to the push order instruction number “A7” is displayed on the acquisition number display LED 39.

27 and 28 show the timing of transmitting the control command of the push order instruction number, the effect group number, and the accessory condition device number, the display of the push order instruction information by the acquisition number display LED 39 (display on the main side), the image It is a time chart which shows alerting | reporting of the correct answer pushing order by the display apparatus 23 (notification by the sub side). 27 and 28, four examples 1 to 4 are shown.
27 and 28, first, when the start switch 41 is operated by the player, the condition device lottery is performed by the role lottery means 61, and the effect group number corresponding to the selected condition device is determined. Further, when in the main game state 2 or 3 (push order instruction state), a push order instruction number corresponding to the selected condition device is determined.

  Further, the main control board 60 transmits a control command of the push order instruction number, the effect group number, and the accessory condition device number to the sub control board 80. In the case of the main gaming state 2 or 3, the sub control board 80 notifies the correct pressing order based on the received pressing order instruction number. On the other hand, when the main control board 60 is in the main game state 2 or 3, the main control board 60 displays the push order instruction information corresponding to the determined push order instruction number.

  In “Example 1” in FIG. 27, when the push order instruction number is determined, first, the push order instruction information is displayed by the main control board 60. Thereafter, the push order instruction number is transmitted, and then the effect group number and the accessory condition device number are transmitted. Next, the sub-control board 80 determines that the start switch 41 has been operated in response to the reception of the accessory condition device number, and notifies the correct pressing order based on the received pressing order instruction number. Both the display of the pressing order instruction information and the notification of the correct pressing order are performed until the reel 31 reaches the constant speed rotation.

  Further, the notification of the correct pressing order by the image display device 23 is performed until the third (last) stop switch 42 is operated. When the third stop switch 42 is operated, the control command is transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub-control board 80 as described above, so that the sub-control board 80 receives the control command and thereby receives the third stop. It can be determined that the switch 42 has been operated. When the third stop switch 42 is operated, the notification of the correct pressing order by the image display device 23 is terminated. Of course, effects other than the correct answer pressing order, for example, image display (character display etc.) peculiar to AT are continued.

  Further, the display of the pressing order instruction information by the acquisition number display LED 39 is performed until the winning determination is performed on the main control board 60. The display of the acquisition number display LED 39 after the display of the pressing order instruction information is “00” (the upper digit and the lower digit are “0”), “* 0” (the upper digit is turned off (*), and the lower digit is “ 0 ”is displayed),“ ** ”(the upper and lower digits are turned off),“-”, and the like.

  In “Example 2” of FIG. 27, after the push order instruction number is transmitted to the sub control board 80 by the main control board 60, the push order instruction information is displayed by the acquisition number display LED 39, and then the production group number and the accessory condition Send the device number. After receiving the production group number and the accessory condition device number, the sub control board 80 notifies the correct pressing order.

  In “Example 3” of FIG. 28, after the main control board 60 transmits the push order instruction number, the production group number, and the accessory condition device number, the sub control board 80 displays the correct push order on the image display device 23. After that, the main control board 60 displays the push order instruction information at the moment (or immediately before) the reel 31 is rotated at a constant speed. In Example 1 and Example 2 above, the display of the push order instruction information by the main control board 60 is performed at a timing earlier than the notification of the correct push order by the sub control board 80. On the other hand, in Example 3, the notification of the correct pressing order by the sub-control board 80 is performed at a timing earlier than the display of the pressing order instruction information by the main control board 60.

  “Example 4” in FIG. 28 is a display in which the push order instruction information is displayed by the main control board 60 and the correct push order is notified by the sub control board 80 at substantially the same timing. In the case of such control, for example, the display of the push order instruction information is started after “N” ms have elapsed since the push order instruction number or the accessory condition device number is transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub control board 80. In this way, the sub-control board 80 may be controlled to start notifying the correct push order after “N” ms have elapsed since receiving the push order instruction number or the accessory condition device number.

27 and 28 show four examples, it is preferable to display the pressing order instruction information after the start switch 41 is operated until the reel 31 rotates at a constant speed. In addition, it is preferable to perform push order notification from the sub control board 80 side after displaying the push order instruction information on the main control board 60 side. By setting in this way, when an incorrect push order instruction number is transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub control board 80, or the sub control board 80 notifies a push order different from the received push order instruction number. Even in this case, since the push order instruction information by the main control board 80 is already displayed, the player notices an error in the notification by the sub control board 80 and the player is not disadvantaged. Absent.
Further, the display of the pressing order instruction information on the main control board 60 side is performed until the winning determination time, but may be performed until the third reel 31 is stopped.
Alternatively, the notification of the pressing order by the sub-control board 80 side may be performed until the winning determination time.

  Next, the case of displaying the pressing order instruction information and notifying the correct pressing order will be described more specifically. FIG. 29 is a diagram for explaining a game flow (flow from top to bottom in the figure), display of the acquired number display LED 39, and a notification example of the image display device 23. The example in FIG. 29 is the timing corresponding to “Example 1” in FIG.

First, when the start switch 41 is operated, the main control board 60 displays push order instruction information on the acquisition number display LED 39. In the example of FIG. 29, an example is shown in which the winning combination corresponding to the push order instruction number “A1” (left middle right) is won. Therefore, the acquisition number display LED 39 displays the pressing order instruction information corresponding to the pressing order instruction number “A1”, that is, “= 1”. In this example, it is assumed that the small role C1 is won.
Then, before the reel 31 reaches constant speed rotation, the image display device 23 notifies the correct pressing order. In the example of FIG. 29, “123” is displayed.

  Next, when the first (first) stop switch 42 is operated and the left stop switch 42 is operated, that is, in the correct pressing order, the portion corresponding to the correct pressing order of the image display device 23 is deleted. . Therefore, the display content is “−23”. On the other hand, when the operated first stop switch 42 is the middle or right stop switch 42, that is, in the incorrect answer pressing order, the notification of the correct answer pressing order is deleted at that time.

Next, when the second stop switch 42 is operated and the operated second stop switch 42 is the middle stop switch 42 (correct pressing order), the portion corresponding to the correct pressing order of the image display device 23 is displayed. to erase. Therefore, the display content is “−−3”. On the other hand, when the second stop switch 42 is the right stop switch 42 (incorrect answer pressing order), the notification of the correct answer pressing order is deleted at that time.
When the first stop switch 42 is on the left and the second stop switch 42 is in the middle, that is, when the correct answer push order is confirmed, the correct answer push by the image display device 23 is performed based on the operation of the third (right) stop switch 42. Clear notifications in order.

  In the example of FIG. 29, the display of the pressing order instruction information by the acquisition number display LED 39 is continued until the winning determination is made (the same applies to the example 1 of FIG. 27). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display may be erased, for example, when the correct answer pressing order is notified by the image display device 23 when the incorrect answer pressing order is reached. However, in this case, it is desirable to stop the display of the acquisition number display LED 39 after the notification by the image display device 23 is stopped. This is to prevent the push order notification from being performed on the sub-control board 80 side even though the push order instruction information is not displayed on the main control board 60 side. Of course, the display of the acquisition number display LED 39 may be stopped simultaneously with the notification by the image display device 23, or the display of the acquisition number display LED 39 may be stopped before the notification by the image display device 23.

Of course, even if the push order is incorrect, the image display device 23 may continue to notify the correct push order.
However, if the push order notification by the image display device 23 is stopped when the push order is incorrect, it is possible to switch to another effect.

  When all the reels 31 are stopped, a winning determination is performed. Here, when the small role 29 wins and three medals are paid out, the display of the acquisition number display LED 39 indicates that three medals have been paid out from the display “= 1” of the push order instruction information. It changes to “03” shown. Note that, when winning the small role C1, the three-piece role always wins. However, if the small role A1 or the like is won and the role is not winning, the display of the acquisition number display LED 39 indicates the push order. The information display changes from “= 1” to “00” (may be “**”). Note that “= 1” → “00” (“00” is displayed in order to reset the display once) from the display “= 1” of the push order instruction information to the display of the medal payout number “03”. ) → “03” may be displayed.

Alternatively, “= 1” → “**” (in order to reset the display, the upper and lower digits are turned off) → “03” may be displayed.
Further, when the player operates the bet switch 40 or inserts a medal and a bet is placed, the displayed content is changed to “00” to clear the content of the acquired number displayed on the acquired number display LED 39. (It may be “**”).

Next, information processing by the main control board 60 (main CPU 55) will be described based on a flowchart.
FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing a game progress main process in the present embodiment. This game progress main process is a process performed every game. Then, during this game progress main process, an interrupt process (FIG. 44) is performed every 2.235 ms.

In FIG. 30, a game start process is performed in step S11. Specifically, the game start process is, for example,
(1) When replay was displayed (winned) in the previous game, the replay operation state flag (_FL_ACT_REP) is set.
(2) When the previous game is a 1BB game or a 2BB game, an operation state flag (_FL_ACTION) is set.
(3) The push order instruction number (_NB_ORD_INF) is cleared.
(4) Save the main game state number in the control command buffer (_BF_SUBCMD).
(5) Save the precursor counter and AT counter (_CT_GAM_STS) in the control command buffer (_BF_SUBCMD).
Etc.

  Thereby, the main game state number, the precursor counter, and the AT counter value stored in the control command buffer are transmitted to the sub control board 80 by the interrupt process before the start switch 41 is operated. By setting in this way, the sub-control board 80 can know the main game state number of the current game to be started before the start switch 41 is operated. Screen preparation, preparation of display of the number of AT games, etc.).

  In the next step S12, game medal management processing is performed. Specifically, the game medal management process is performed when, for example, the rise of the signals of the insertion sensors 44 and 44b and the bet switch 40 and the rise of the signal of the settlement switch 46 are detected, and the insertion of the medal is detected by the insertion sensors 44a and 44b. The medal care check process is executed, and when it is determined that the medal care is normal, the bet process or the storage addition process is executed. When the rising edge of the signal of the bet switch 40 is detected, the betting process is executed. When the rising edge of the signal of the settlement switch 46 is detected, the settlement process is executed.

  In the next step S13, the main control board 60 determines whether the prescribed number (number of inserted medals) matches and the start switch 41 is operated. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number (number of inserted medals) in the game is set to 3 (both non-special game and special game). Therefore, the game is not started when the number of medals is one or two. Only when the number of bet medals (specified number) is three and the start switch 41 is operated, “Yes” is obtained in step S13. If it is determined in step S13 that the specified numbers match and the start switch 41 is operated, the process proceeds to step S14. If the specified numbers match and the start switch 41 is not determined to be operated, the process proceeds to step S12. Return and continue the medal management process.

In step S14, the medal selector blocker 45 is turned off. By turning off the blocker 45, medal acceptance is prohibited after step S14.
In the next step S15, the role lottery means 61 executes the lottery of the condition device at the timing when the start switch 41 is operated, that is, when the operation signal of the start switch 41 is received. Here, the random number value is acquired, and processing for determining whether the acquired random number value is a random value corresponding to any of the condition devices is performed using the role lottery table. Further, when the selected condition device is determined, the value corresponding to the selected condition device is stored in “_NB_CND_NOR” (winning and replay condition device number) and “_NB_CND_BNS” (object condition device number) of the RWM 53.

  In the next step S16, an external signal flag setting process is performed. This process will be described later (FIG. 31). In the next step S17, the main game state in the current game is determined by reading the main game state number stored in the RWM 53. When the main game state is 0, the process proceeds to the main game state 0 (a) of step S18 (FIG. 32), and when the main game state is 1, the process proceeds to the main game state 1 (a) of step S19 (FIG. 32). When the main game state 2 is reached, the process proceeds to the main game state 2 (a) of step S20 (FIG. 33), and when the main game state 3 is reached, the process proceeds to the main game state 3 (a) of step S21 (FIG. 33). When the main game state 4 is reached, the process proceeds to the main game state 4 (a) of step S22 (FIG. 34), and when the main game state 5 is reached, the process proceeds to the main game state 5 (a) of step S23 (FIG. 34). ).

It should be noted that “(a)” is used in the game end check process described later, because the process proceeds to a specific subroutine according to the main game state 0 to 5, respectively. It is distinguished as “(a)”.
The processing of these main gaming state 0 (a) to main gaming state 5 (a) will be described later (FIGS. 32 to 34). AT lottery is performed during non-AT, and AT continuous lottery is performed during AT. After executing these processes, the process proceeds to step S24.

In step S24, the main control board 60 executes a push order instruction number set (FIG. 35). This process is a process of selecting a push order instruction number according to the current main game state and the selected condition device. With this process, in the game displaying the push order instruction information, the push order instruction information is displayed on the acquisition number display LED 39.
Next, proceeding to step S25, the main control board 60 executes an effect group number set (FIG. 36). This process is a process of selecting an effect group number corresponding to the selected condition device.

  In the next step S26, it is determined whether or not the minimum game time has elapsed. If it is determined that the minimum game time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S27. If it is determined that the minimum game time has not elapsed, the process waits until the minimum game time has elapsed. In the present embodiment, the minimum game time is set to “4.1 seconds”. For this reason, if 4.1 seconds have not elapsed between the time when the result of step S26 of the previous game is “Yes” and the time when the game reaches step S26, 4.1 seconds have passed. Then, “Yes” is determined in step S26. For example, after “Yes” in step S26, the number of interrupts is counted, and the process waits until the number of interrupts reaches a predetermined number (in this embodiment, “1836”, 1836 × 2.235≈4100). is there.

If “Yes” is set in step S26 and the process proceeds to step S27, it is determined whether or not the main game state of the current game is the main game state 3. When it is determined that the main gaming state 3 is selected, the process proceeds to step S28, and when it is determined that the main gaming state 3 is not selected, the process proceeds to step S31.
In step S28, it is determined whether or not the special combination condition device operation flag is ON. This process is performed by determining the data value of “_FL_PRD_LOT” of the RWM 53. When it is determined that the special combination operating state flag is on, the process proceeds to step S31. When it is determined that the special combination operation state flag is not on, the process proceeds to step S29.

  In step S29, it is determined whether or not the winning and replay condition device number won in this game is “8”, “28”, or “29” (replay C, small role D1, small role D2). To do. In the present embodiment, when these three condition devices are won, a predetermined reel effect process (such as a freeze process for temporarily stopping the progress of the game) is executed at the start of the game. If “Yes” is determined in step S29, the process proceeds to step S30. If “No” is determined, the process proceeds to step S31. In step S30, the reel effect process is executed as described above. Then, the process proceeds to step S31.

  In step S31, a reel stop management process is executed. In this process, the rotation of the reel 31 is started and it is determined whether or not the stop switch 42 is operated. When it is determined that the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel 31 corresponding to the operated stop switch 42 is checked. Execute stop control. In the reel 31 stop control, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined based on the lottery result of the condition device and the position of the reel 31, and the reel 31 is stopped at the determined position. And when stop control of all the reels 31 is complete | finished, it progresses to step S32.

In step S32, a symbol display determination process is performed. Here, the winning determination means 67 determines whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination has been stopped on the active line.
In the next step S33, medal payout processing is performed according to the winning combination. In this process, when a small combination (a combination having a medal payout) wins based on the display determination in step S32, a medal payout corresponding to the winning small combination is executed. Also, at the time of replay winning, an automatic insertion of medals is executed.
In step S34, the main control board 60 performs a game end check process. This process includes an operation state flag and condition device number clearing process, an external signal control number setting process, and the like. When the process proceeds to step 34, the process proceeds to the process of FIG.

FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing the external signal flag setting process in step S16 of FIG.
First, in step S41, it is determined whether or not the external signal control number is “0”. In this process, the data value stored in “_NB_INF_OUT” of the RWM 53 is determined. When it is determined that the external signal control number is “0”, the process according to this flowchart is terminated, and when it is determined that the external signal control number is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S42.

  In step S42, an external signal flag corresponding to the external signal control number is stored. The external signal flag corresponding to the external signal control number is as shown in FIG. For example, when the external signal control number is “3”, the external signal 1 flag is off, the external signal 2 flag is off, and the external signal 3 flag is on. Therefore, the external signal flag is “0000100”. This value is stored in “_FL_INF_OUT” of the RWM 53. In step S43, "0" is set in the external signal control number. This processing is processing for setting the data value stored in “_NB_INF_OUT” of the RWM 53 to “0”. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

The flowchart on the left side in FIG. 32 shows the processing in the main gaming state 0 (a) (non-AT (normal)) in step S18 in FIG.
First, in step S51, it is determined whether or not the special combination condition device operation flag is ON. This process is performed by determining the data value of “_FL_PRD_LOT” of the RWM 53. When it is determined that the special role winning device operation lag is ON, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated, and when it is determined that the special role winning device operation lag is not ON, the process proceeds to step S52. Therefore, even in the main game state 0, control is performed so as not to execute the AT lottery when the special combination is won by the previous game, that is, when the game is in the inside.

In step S52, the winning and replay condition device number “8 (replay C)”, “9 (replay D)”, “28 (small role D1)”, or “29 (small role D2)” is won. Determine whether or not. This is because the AT lottery is executed on the condition that these roles are won. If it is determined that one of these condition devices has been won, the process proceeds to step S53. If it is determined that one of these condition devices has not been won, the process according to this flowchart ends.
In step S53, an AT lottery is executed. As shown in FIG. 16A, the AT winning probability differs depending on which condition device is won. As described above, when staying in the main gaming state 0, for example, a plurality of types of stages are provided such as low probability, normal, and high probability, and the space between these stages is determined according to the selected condition device. It is possible to go back and forth, and at the time of winning one of the above condition devices, the AT lottery may be executed with different winning probabilities depending on the current stage.

In the next step S54, it is determined whether or not a winning is made in the AT lottery in step S53. When it is determined that it has been won, the process proceeds to step S55, and when it is determined that it has not been won, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S55, “1” is added to the AT stock number. Then, the data value of “_CT_GAM_STK” of the RWM 53 is updated to “1”.
In step S56, the number of precursor games is determined by lottery. For example, any one value from “0” to “32” is selected by lottery. Further, when the number of precursor games is determined, the determined value is stored in “_CT_GAM_STS (predictor counter)” of the RWM 53 (predictor counter set). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

  The flowchart on the right side in FIG. 32 shows the processing of the main gaming state 1 (a) (during AT precursor) in step S19 of FIG. As shown in this flowchart, when in the main gaming state 1, the process is terminated without performing a lottery or the like related to the AT. That is, when staying in the AT sign, the AT lottery is not performed even if the rare role is won (of course, the AT lottery may be performed).

The flowchart on the left side of FIG. 33 shows the processing in the main game state 2 (a) (at AT preparation) in step S20 in FIG.
In the main game state 2 (at AT preparation) of the present embodiment, an AT extra lottery and an AT stock lottery are performed according to the rare role winning.
Note that the AT extra lottery is to add the number of games played at the first (first) AT. In the present embodiment, the initial value of the number of AT games is set to “50”, and when the player wins “30” in the AT extra lottery, the number of AT games is updated to “80”.

  In addition, the AT stock number lottery is a lottery in which an AT game consisting of 50 games is set as one set and the set number is added. For example, after winning “3” as the initial stock number at the time of AT winning, when winning in the AT stock lottery, “1” is added and the stock number is updated to “4”. In the present embodiment, “1” is uniformly added when a lottery of stocks is won. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and lottery of stocks and lots of stocks to be added may be executed simultaneously.

  First, in step S61, it is determined whether or not the special combination condition device operation flag is ON. This process is performed by determining the data value of “_FL_PRD_LOT” of the RWM 53. When it is determined that the special role winning device operation lag is on, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated, and when it is determined that the special role winning device operation lag is not on, the process proceeds to step S62. Therefore, even in the main game state 2, when the special game is won by the previous game, that is, when it is in the inside, it is controlled not to execute the lottery regarding AT.

In step S62, it is determined whether or not the winning and replay condition device number “28 (small role D1)” or “29 (small role D2)” is won. This is because, on the condition that these rare roles are won, the AT is added and the lottery is executed (see FIG. 17 (3)).
If it is determined that one of these condition devices is won, the process proceeds to step S63. If it is determined that one of these condition devices is not selected, the process proceeds to step S66.

In step S63, the AT is added and a lottery is executed. In the next step S64, it is determined whether or not winning is made in the AT addition lottery in step S63. When it is determined that it has been won, the process proceeds to step S65, and when it is determined that it has not been won, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S65, the AT counter value is added. This process is a process of updating the data value of “_CT_GAM_STS (AT counter)” of the RWM 53. Then, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

On the other hand, if “No” is determined in the step S62 and the process proceeds to the step S66, it is determined whether or not the winning and replay condition device number “9 (replay D)” is won.
If it is determined that the condition device has been won, the process proceeds to step S67. If it is determined that the condition device has not been won, the process according to this flowchart ends.

In step S67, AT continuous lottery is executed.
In the next step S68, it is determined whether or not a winning is made in the AT continuous lottery in step S67. When it is determined that it has been won, the process proceeds to step S69, and when it is determined that it has not been won, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S69, “1” is added to the AT stock number. This process is a process for updating the data value of “_CT_GAM_STK” in the RWM 53. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

The flowchart on the left side of FIG. 33 shows the processing in the main gaming state 3 (a) (during AT) in step S20 in FIG.
The lottery process related to the AT in the main game state 3 (during AT) shown on the right side of FIG. 33 is similar to the lottery process related to the AT in the main game state 2 (AT ready). Hereinafter, different points will be mainly described.

The process of step S81 is the same as that of step S61.
In step S82, has the winning and replay condition device number “2-8 (replay B1 to B6, replay C)”, “28 (small role D1)”, or “29 (small role D2)” won? Judge whether or not. In the main game state 3, even when the replays B1 to B6 are won, an AT is added and a lottery is performed with a very low probability (see FIG. 17 (3)). When “Yes” is determined in step S82, the process proceeds to step S83, and when “No” is determined, the process proceeds to step S86.
Since Steps S83 to S85 are the same as Steps S63 to S65 described above, description thereof will be omitted.

In step S86, it is determined whether or not the winning and replay condition device number “8 (Replay C)” or “9 (Replay D)” has been won. When it is determined that it has been won, the process proceeds to step S87, and when it is determined that it has not been won, the process according to this flowchart is terminated. As shown in FIG. 16 (2), in the main game state 2 (AT preparation), when the replay D is won, the continuous lottery is performed, but in the main game state 3 (AT), when the replay C or the replay D is won. Continue lottery. Replay C is drawn only at RT2 (see FIG. 14). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16 (2), the continuous lottery based on the winning of the replay C is not performed even in the main gaming state 3 except for RT2.
Since the next steps S87 to S89 are the same as the above-described steps S67 to S69, description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing the main game state 4 (a) when proceeding to step S22 of FIG. 30 and the main game state 5 (a) when proceeding to step S23. In the example of this flowchart, only the AT continuous lottery is performed during the 1BB game and the 2BB game. That is, when the 1BB or 2BB is won during the main game state 2 (AT preparation) or the main game state 3 (AT) and the game proceeds to the 1BB game or the 2BB game, respectively, the AT continuous lottery is executed.

  In step S101 of FIG. 34, AT continuous lottery is executed. During the main game state 4, that is, during the 1BB game, the AT continuous lottery is executed every game. Then, in the next step S102, it is determined whether or not the AT continuous lottery in step S101 has been won. When it is determined that the AT continuous lottery has been won, the process proceeds to step S103, and when it is determined that the AT has not been won, the process according to this flowchart is terminated. In step S103, “1” is added to the AT stock number. This process is a process for updating the data value of “_CT_GAM_STK” of the RWM 53, as in step S69. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

On the other hand, when the process proceeds from step S23 in FIG. 30 to step S111 in FIG. 34, the same processing as in steps S101 to S103 is executed. However, as shown in FIG. 16 (2), the winning probability of the AT continuous lottery in the main gaming state 5 is lower than the winning probability of the AT continuous lottery in the main gaming state 4.
In addition, when the main game state 0 shifts to the main game state 4 or 5, the AT initial winning lottery may be executed by the same processing as the flow shown in FIG. Also, when the first AT lottery is won, the AT stock number is set to “+1”. In addition, the AT continuous lottery is executed after the next game in which the first AT lottery is won.

FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing the push order instruction number set in step S24 of FIG.
First, in step S121, it is determined whether or not the current main game state is a main game state in which a push order instruction can be generated. In this process, the data value of “_NB_GAM_STS” in the RWM 53 is read to determine the main game state, and further, a data table showing the relationship between the main game state and the push order instruction state shown in FIG. Based on the data table (stored in the ROM 54), it is determined whether or not the main game state is a push order instruction state. When it is determined that it is in the push order instruction state, the process proceeds to step S122, and when it is determined that it is not in the push order instruction state, the process proceeds to step S127.

  In step S122, it is determined whether or not the current RT is non-RT. This process is performed by reading the RT gaming state number (_NB_RT_STS) of the RWM 53. When it is determined that it is non-RT, the process proceeds to step S125, and when it is determined that it is not non-RT, the process proceeds to step S123. In step S123, it is determined whether or not winning and replay condition device numbers “2” to “7” (replays B1 to B6) or “10” to “21” (small roles A1 to B6) are won. If it is determined that one of these condition devices has been won, the process proceeds to step S124. If it is determined that one of these condition devices has not been won, the process proceeds to step S125. In step S124, the push order instruction number is stored. This process is a process of acquiring the push order instruction number corresponding to the selected condition device and storing it in the push order instruction number (_NB_ORD_INF) of the RWM 53. Then, the process proceeds to step S127.

  When the process proceeds from step S122 or S123 to step S125, it is determined whether or not the winning and replay condition device numbers “22” to “27” (small roles C1 to C6) are won. When it is determined that one of these condition devices has been won, the process proceeds to step S126. When it is determined that one of the condition devices has not been won, the process proceeds to step S127. In step S126, the push order instruction number corresponding to the selected condition device is stored. This process is the same as step S124. Then, the process proceeds to step S127.

By the above steps S121 to S124, even if the main game state is capable of generating a push order instruction, when the player stays in a non-RT and wins a condition device (with the correct push order) that can display a special figure, Do not save the push order number.
On the other hand, when a condition device that cannot display a special drawing (with correct answer pressing order) is selected, the pressing order instruction number is stored.

  In step S127, it is determined whether or not a push order instruction display is present. This process is a process of reading the data stored in the push order instruction number (_NB_ORD_INF) of the RWM 53 and determining whether or not the push order instruction should be displayed. If it is determined that the push order instruction display is present, the process proceeds to step S128. If it is determined that the push order instruction display is not present, the process proceeds to step S129.

  In step S128, processing for displaying the push order instruction number is executed. In this process, as described above, the process for displaying the push order instruction information on the acquisition number display LED 39 is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step S129. In step S129, the push order instruction number is stored in the control command buffer. By this process, the push order instruction number is transmitted to the sub-control board 80 in the interrupt process. In the example of FIG. 35, the push order instruction number is transmitted to the sub control board 80 after the push order instruction information is displayed on the main control board 60 side.

  At the start of the game, the data of the push order instruction number of the RWM 53 is cleared, but the data when cleared is “A0”. Therefore, when the push order instruction number is not updated in step S124 or S126, the push order instruction number remains “A0”. For this reason, for example, at the time of non-winning or replay A winning, “A0” is stored as the push order instruction number in step S129.

Also, the push order instruction number of the RWM 53 is updated by the above processing in the main game state 2 or 3 (push order instruction state), and when the condition device that should display the push order instruction number is won It is. That is, if the push order instruction number is not selected, or if the condition device that should display the push order instruction number is not selected even in the push order instruction state, the push order instruction number of the RWM 53 is not updated ("A0" Remain).
However, regardless of whether or not the push order instruction number has been updated (step S124 or S126), the game and the push order instruction number are always transmitted to the sub-control board 80 (step S129).

  From the above, when the AT is not preparing or not in the AT, even if the condition device having the correct pressing order is selected, a pressing order instruction number that can specify the correct pressing order is not transmitted, so that the sub-control board 80 is illegally processed. Even if an attempt is made to obtain the correct answer pressing order, it is not possible to obtain the correct answer order, and thus the goto action can be prevented.

FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the effect group number setting process in step S25 of FIG.
First, in step S141, an effect group number table is set. This process is a process of setting the effect group number table (FIG. 20) stored in the ROM 54.
In the next step S142, the effect group number corresponding to the condition device won in the current game is stored in the effect group number (_NB_ACT_GRP) of the RWM 53.

In step S143, the effect group number is stored in the control command buffer (_BF_SUBCMD). In the next step S144, the accessory condition device number (_NB_CND_BNS) is stored in the control command buffer.
By these processes, the production group number and the accessory condition device number are sequentially transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub control board 80 (by the interrupt process). Therefore, in this example, when a special combination is won, data indicating the selected special combination, that is, the accessory condition device number itself, is transmitted instead of selecting an effect group number corresponding to the special combination winning.

FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the game end check process in step S34 of FIG.
First, in step S151, the current main game state is determined. This process is the same as step S17 in FIG. 30, and the main game state in the current game is determined by reading the main game state (_NB_GAM_STS) stored in the RWM 53. When the main game state is 0, the process proceeds to the main game state 0 (b) in step S152 (FIG. 38), and when the main game state is 1, the process proceeds to the main game state 1 (b) in step S153 (FIG. 39). ), When in the main gaming state 2, the process proceeds to the main gaming state 2 (b) in step S154 (FIG. 40), and when in the main gaming state 3, the process proceeds to the main gaming state 3 (b) in step S155 (FIG. 41). When the main gaming state 4 is reached, the process proceeds to the main gaming state 4 (b) of step S156 (FIG. 42), and when the main gaming state 5 is reached, the process proceeds to the main gaming state 5 (b) of step S157 (FIG. 42). ).

The processing of the main game state 0 (b) to the main game state 5 (b) will be described later. In each of these steps, a main game state number set and an external signal control number set are set for each main game state. Etc.
After completion of the processes in steps S152 to S157, the process proceeds to step S158.

In step S158, the replay operation state flag (_FL_ACT_REP) is cleared. When the replay is won in the current game, the replay operation state flag is set again at the start of the next game (step S11).
The same applies to other processes, but in order to clear the data (1-byte data) stored in the RWM 53, for example, the value is stored in the A register, and the A register value and "0" are stored. An AND operation is performed (which is always “0”), and data after the AND operation is stored (updated) in the RWM 53.

In the next step S159, the winning and replay condition device number (_NB_CND_NOR) is cleared. Next, the process proceeds to step S160, and it is determined whether 1BB or 2BB is displayed (winned) in the current game. Here, the value of the symbol combination display flag (_FL_WIN) of the RWM 53 is determined. For example, when the value of the symbol combination display flag is set in the A register and the result of ANDing the A register value and “00000101 (B)” is not “0” (zero flag is “1”), 1BB or 2BB is Judge that it is displayed.
When it is determined that 1BB or 2BB is displayed, the process proceeds to step S161. When it is determined that 1BB or 2BB is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S164.

  In step S161, the accessory condition device number (_NB_CND_BNS) is cleared. Further, in the next step S162, the special condition device activation flag (_FL_PRD_LOT) is cleared. In the next step S163, “0” is set to the RT gaming state number (_NB_RT_STS). In the present embodiment, the RT game state number is set to “0” for the 1BB game and the 2BB game. In this way, when the set value is changed during the 1BB game or the 2BB game, the RT can be made non-RT only by clearing the operation state flag (_FL_ACTION). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S160 that the display is not 1BB or 2BB and the process proceeds to step S164, it is determined whether or not the accessory condition apparatus is operating (1BB or 2BB was won in the current game). This process is performed by determining the data value of the accessory condition device number (_NB_CND_BNS) of the RWM 53. For example, the data of the accessory condition device number is stored in the A register, and “0” is subtracted from the A register value, and when the operation result is not “0” (zero flag is “1”), the accessory condition device is activated. It is judged that.

When it is determined that the accessory condition apparatus is operating, the process proceeds to step S165. When it is determined that the accessory condition apparatus is not operating, the process proceeds to step S166.
In step S165, the special condition machine operation flag (_FL_PRD_LOT) is set. Here, a process of updating the value of the special combination condition device operation flag to “FF (H)” is executed. As a result, after the next game, the lottery and reel effect processing related to AT are not executed. Then, the process proceeds to step S167.

In step S166, it is determined whether or not the special game is in operation (1BB game or 2BB game). This process is performed by determining the value of the operation state flag (_FL_ACTION). For example, when the operation state flag data is stored in the A register, “0” is subtracted from the A register value, and the operation result is not “0” (zero flag is “1”), any special game is in operation. It is judged that.
When it is determined that the special game is being operated, the process proceeds to step S168, and when it is determined that the special game is not being operated, the process proceeds to step S167. In step S167, RT gaming state management is executed. When the process proceeds to step S167, the process proceeds to the process of FIG. Then, after the RT gaming state management process ends, the process according to this flowchart ends.

  When the process proceeds from step S166 to step S168, it is determined whether the 1BB operation is in progress by determining the value of the operation state flag. If the D2 bit of the operating state flag is “1”, it is determined that 1BB is operating. When it is determined that 1BB is in operation, the process proceeds to step S169. On the other hand, when it is determined that the 1BB operation is not in progress, the process proceeds to step S172.

  In step S169, 1BB operation management processing is performed. Here, for example, it is determined whether or not the acquirable number in the 1BB game has been reached, and when it is determined that the number has been reached, processing for clearing the 1BB operation state flag and the RB operation state flag is executed. In the next step S170, it is determined whether or not the RB is operating. If the D3 bit of the operating state flag is “1”, it is determined that the RB is operating. If it is determined that the RB is operating, the process proceeds to step S171. On the other hand, when it is determined that the RB is not operating, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

  In step S171, RB operation management processing is performed. Here, for example, it is determined whether or not the number of games or the number of winnings at the time of RB operation has reached a specified number (for example, 2 times), and when it has been determined, processing for clearing only the RB operation state flag is executed. To do. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished. When the 1BB game end condition is not satisfied (when the 1BB operation state flag is on), the RB operation state flag is turned on again at the start of the next game (step S11).

  If “No” is determined in step S168 and the process proceeds to step S172, it is determined whether or not the 2BB operation is being performed by determining the value of the operation state flag. If the D0 bit of the operating state flag is “1”, it is determined that 2BB is operating. When it is determined that the 2BB operation is in progress, the process proceeds to step S173. On the other hand, when it is determined that the 2BB operation is not being performed, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated. In the present embodiment, when “No” is determined in step S168, the game is always in the 2BB game.

  In step S172, 2BB operation management is executed. In 2BB operation management, similarly to 1BB operation management, it is determined whether or not the acquirable number in 2BB game has been reached, and when it is determined that the number has been reached, the 2BB operation state flag and the CB operation state flag are cleared. Etc. In step S174, the value of the CB operating state flag is determined to determine whether the CB is operating. If the D1 bit of the operating state flag is “1”, it is determined that the CB is operating. When it is determined that the CB is operating, the process proceeds to step S175. On the other hand, when it is determined that the CB is not operating, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated. In the present embodiment, since the 2BB game is a game state in which the CB game is continuously operated, the CB game is always in progress when the 2BB game is being played.

  In step S175, CB operation management is executed. In the CB operation management, since the CB game end condition is satisfied based on the end of the current game, a process of clearing the CB operation state flag is executed. When the 2BB game end condition is not satisfied (when the 2BB operation state flag is on), the CB operation state flag is turned on again at the start of the next game (step S11). After the completion of the CB operation management in step S175, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing the main gaming state 0 (b) in step S152 in FIG.
First, in step S181, it is determined whether or not 1BB is displayed (in this game). When it is determined that 1BB is displayed, the process proceeds to step S182, and when it is determined that 1BB is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S185.

In step S182, “4” is set as the main game state number. That is, the main game state number is changed to a number corresponding to 1BB game. This process is a process of updating the data of the main game state number (_NB_GAM_STS) of the RWM 53 to “4”. In step S183, the external signal control number is set to “3”. This process is a process of updating the data of the external signal control number (_NB_INF_OUT) of the RWM 53 to “3”. As shown in FIG. 25, the external signal control number is set to “3” during 1BB display.
In the next step S184, when the precursor counter is set (if it is other than “0”), the precursor counter is cleared (set to “0”). Then, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

On the other hand, when the process proceeds to step S185, it is determined whether or not 2BB is displayed (in this game). When it is determined that 2BB is displayed, the process proceeds to step S186, and when it is determined that 2BB is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S189.
In step S186, “5” is set as the main game state number. That is, the main game state number is changed to a number corresponding to 2BB game. This process is a process for updating the data of the main game state number (_NB_GAM_STS) of the RWM 53 to “5” as described above. In step S187, the external signal control number is set to “3”. This process is the same as step S183 described above. Then, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

In step S189, it is determined whether or not the special combination condition apparatus operation flag (“_FL_PRD_LOT” in RWM 53) is on. Here, “Yes” is a case where a special role is won by the previous game. When it is determined that the special combination condition device operation flag is ON, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the special combination condition device operation flag is not ON, the process proceeds to step S190. In step S190, it is determined whether or not the number of AT stocks exceeds “0”. This process is performed by determining the value of “_CT_GAM_STK” of the RWM 53. If it is determined that the number of AT stocks exceeds “0”, the process proceeds to step S191. If it is determined that the number of AT stocks is “0”, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S191, “1” is set as the main game state number. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

In the processing of FIG. 38 described above, in the present embodiment, the sign counter is not other than “0” when 1BB is displayed in the main gaming state 0. For this reason, the process of step S184 is not actually executed.
However, in the second embodiment (FIG. 45) to be described later, “1BB + small role D2” is provided as the condition device. When “1BB + small role D2” is won, winning of the small role D2, that is, the small role 30, is given priority, but the small role 30 is “PB ≠ 1”. For this reason, priority is given to winning the small combination 30, but if the small combination 30 cannot be won and 1BB can be won, control is performed so that 1BB is won. For example, when the left reel 31 is stopped, “cherry” related to the small role 30 cannot be stopped on the active line, but “red 7” related to 1BB may be stopped on the active line. . If the red line 7 can be stopped on the active line even when the middle and right reels 31 are stopped, 1BB wins.

On the other hand, at the time of winning the small role D2 in the main gaming state 0, as shown in FIG. When winning the AT, as shown in step S56 in FIG. 32, a precursor counter may be set.
As described above, in the main game state 0, when “1BB + small role D2” is won, 1BB may be displayed after the precursor counter is set. In such a case, the precursor counter may be cleared in step S184.

  Also, in the flowchart of FIG. 38, the clearing process of the precursor counter is not provided at the time of 2BB display. However, if “2BB + small role D2” is provided as the condition device, a case similar to the above may occur. In this case, after the step S187, the “precursor counter clear (step S188)” is provided, and after executing the process of clearing the precursor counter, this flowchart may be terminated.

FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing the main gaming state 1 (b) in step S153 in FIG.
First, in step S201, it is determined whether or not 1BB is displayed (in this game). If it is determined that 1BB is displayed, the process proceeds to step S202. If it is determined that 1BB is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S205.

  In step S202, “4” is set as the main game state number. In the next step S203, the external signal control number is set to “3”. In step S204, the precursor counter is cleared. This is because the main gaming state 1 is an AT precursor, and therefore a precursor counter is set. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

On the other hand, if it progresses to step S205, it will be judged whether 2BB was displayed (in this game). When it is determined that 2BB is displayed, the process proceeds to step S206. When it is determined that 2BB is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S209.
In step S206, “5” is set as the main game state number. In step S207, the external signal control number is set to “3”. In step S208, the precursor counter is cleared. Then, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

  In step S209, it is determined whether or not the special combination condition device operation flag is ON. When it is determined that the special combination condition device operation flag is ON, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the special combination condition device operation flag is not ON, the process proceeds to step S210. In step S210, “1” is subtracted from the value of the precursor counter. This process executes a process of setting the value of “_CT_GAM_STS” of the RWM 53 to “−1”.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S211, and it is determined whether or not the precursor counter after the process of step S210 exceeds “0”. When it is determined that “0” has been exceeded, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated (the next game also remains in the main game state 1). On the other hand, when it is determined that the precursor counter is “0”, the process proceeds to step S212, and “2” is set as the main game state number. As a result, the main game state 1 (AT precursor) ends in the current game, and the next game enters the main game state 2 (AT preparation). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing the main gaming state 2 (b) in step S154 in FIG.
40, steps S221 to S226 are processes corresponding to steps S201 to S208 of FIG. 39 described above. However, in the main gaming state 2 (AT preparation), since the precursor counter is not set, the precursor counter clear process (the process corresponding to steps S204 and S208 in FIG. 39) is not provided. The other processes are the same as those in FIG.

In FIG. 40, when the process proceeds to step S227, it is determined whether or not the special combination condition device operation flag is ON. When it is determined that it is on, the process according to this flowchart is terminated, and when it is determined that it is not on, the process proceeds to step S228.
In step S228, it is determined whether or not the current game is RT2. This process is performed by determining the data value of the RT gaming state number (_NB_RT_STS) of the RWM 53. When it is determined that it is RT2, the process proceeds to step S231, and when it is determined that it is not RT2, the process proceeds to step S229.
If “Yes” in step S228 (when the RT of the current game is RT2), control is performed to start AT.

In step S229, it is determined whether or not the winning and replay condition device number won in this game is any of “2” to “7” (replays B1 to B6). When it is determined that any of the condition device numbers “2” to “7” is won, the process proceeds to step S231, and when it is determined that any of the condition device numbers “2” to “7” is not won. Proceed to step S230.
Here, “No” in step S228 is non-RT or RT1 because it is other than RT2. Since the winning and replay condition device numbers “2” to “7” are not drawn in the non-RT, the winning and replay condition device numbers “2” to “7” are won (“Yes” in step S229). Means winning at RT1.

  In step S230, it is determined whether or not the pressing order indicated by the pressing order instruction number matches. Specifically, the push order instruction information is displayed when the small roles A1 to C6 in RT1 or the small roles C1 to C6 in non-RT are won, and it is determined whether or not the stop switch 42 has been operated in accordance with the push order. . When it is determined that the pressing order matches, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated (the main game state 2 continues for the next game), and when it is determined that the pressing order does not match, the process proceeds to step S231. Therefore, the push order instruction information is displayed at the time of winning the small roles A1 to C6 in RT1 or the small roles C1 to C6 in non-RT, but when the push order is not followed (“No” in step S230), the next time The game is set to the main game state 3 (AT).

In step S231, “3” is set as the main gaming state. In step S232, “2” is set as the external signal control number. As shown in FIG. 25, when the main game state 2 shifts to the main game state 3, the external signal control number 2 is set.
In step S233, "+50" is set as the AT counter. This process corresponds to a process of adding “50” to the AT counter (_CT_GAM_STS) of the RWM 53. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing the main gaming state 3 (b) in step S155 in FIG.
First, in step S241, it is determined whether 1BB is displayed in the current game. When it is determined that 1BB is displayed, the process proceeds to step S242. When it is determined that 1BB is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S245.

  In step S242, “4” is set as the main game state number. Further, in the next step S243, the external signal control number is set to “3”. Next, the process proceeds to step S224, and if the AT return flag (RWM53) is set ("1"), the AT return flag is cleared (to "0"). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

In step S245, it is determined whether or not 2BB is displayed in the current game. When it is determined that 2BB is displayed, the process proceeds to step S246, and when it is determined that 2BB is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S249.
In step S246, “5” is set as the main game state number. In step S247, the external signal control number is set to “3”. Next, the process proceeds to step S248, and when the AT returning flag (RWM53) is set, the AT returning flag is cleared. Then, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

  In step S249, it is determined whether or not the special combination condition device operation flag is ON. When it is determined that it is on, the process according to this flowchart is terminated, and when it is determined that it is not on, the process proceeds to step S250. In step S250, it is determined whether or not the AT returning flag is ON. This process is performed by determining the value of the AT return flag (_FL_RET_AT) of the RWM 53. When it is determined that the AT recovery flag is on, the process proceeds to step S255, and when it is determined that the AT return flag is not on, the process proceeds to step S251.

  In step S251, “1” is subtracted from the value of the AT counter. This process is a process of “−1” the value of the AT counter (_CT_GAM_STS) of the RWM 53. In the next step S252, it is determined whether or not the value of the AT counter (the value updated in step S251) exceeds “0”. When it is determined that “0” is exceeded, the process proceeds to step S259, and when it is determined that “0” is not exceeded (that is, “0”), the process proceeds to step S253.

  In step S253, “1” is subtracted from the AT stock number. This process is a process of “−1” the value of the AT stock number (_CT_GAM_STK) of the RWM 53. In the next step S254, it is determined whether or not the AT stock number (the value after the update in step S253) exceeds “0”. When it is determined that the value exceeds “0” (when the AT continues), the process proceeds to step S262, and when it is determined that the value does not exceed “0” (that is, “0”, meaning that the AT has ended). The process proceeds to step S264.

  When it is determined in step S250 that the AT return flag is on and the process proceeds to step S255, whether or not the winning and replay condition device numbers “2” to “7” (replays B1 to B6) are won in the current game. Judge whether or not. If it is determined that one of these condition devices has been won, the process proceeds to step S258, and the AT return flag is cleared (the same processing as step S248). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

  On the other hand, when “No” is determined in step S255, the process proceeds to step S256, and it is determined whether or not the correct answer pressing order is notified in the current game. The correct push order is notified at the time of winning other than the replays B1 to B6 during the return to AT when the small roles C1 to C6 are won in non-RT or when the small roles A1 to C6 are won in RT1. When it is determined that there is a notification of correct pressing order (display of pressing order instruction information), the process proceeds to step S257, and when it is determined that there is no notification of correct pressing order (display of pressing order instruction information), the processing according to this flowchart is performed. End (the next game will also be returning to AT).

  In step S257, it is determined whether or not the notified correct pressing order matches the operated pressing order. When it is determined in step S257 that the pressing order is the same, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated (the next game is also being returned to the AT). On the other hand, when it is determined that the pressing order does not match, it means that the notified correct pressing order has not been followed. In this case, the process proceeds to step S258, the AT returning flag is cleared, and this flowchart is executed. The process ends. This is forcibly returning to AT as described above. In addition, when winning the small roles A1 to C6 during the return to AT and not following the notified correct pressing order, the next game at the time of special figure display will be AT and RT1, and any of small roles 02 to 27 The next game when will win will be AT and non-RT.

  In step S252, it is determined that the value of the AT counter exceeds “0”. When the process proceeds to step S259, it is determined whether or not the correct answer pressing order is notified (displaying the pressing order instruction information) in the current game. When it is determined that there is a notification of correct pressing order (display of pressing order instruction information), the process proceeds to step S260, and when it is determined that there is no notification of correct pressing order (display of pressing order instruction information), the processing according to this flowchart is performed. End (the next game will also be AT).

  In step S260, it is determined whether or not the notified correct pressing order matches the operated pressing order. When it is determined in step S260 that the pressing order is the same, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated (the next game is also AT). On the other hand, if it is determined that the pressing order does not match, the process proceeds to step S261, and the AT return flag is set (turned on ("1")). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished. If the game in which the correct answer push order is notified during AT and RT2 and does not follow the push order, the next game will be either non-RT or RT1 (falling from RT2), and will be returning to AT.

  When it is determined in step S254 that the AT stock number exceeds “0” and the process proceeds to step S262, “4” is set as the external signal control number. This is because, as shown in FIG. 25, when the number of AT games is exhausted and an AT stock number is available, an external signal indicating that fact is transmitted. In the next step S263, “+50” is set in the AT counter (_CT_GAM_STS), and the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S254 that the AT stock number does not exceed “0” (is “0”) and the process proceeds to step S264, “0” is set as the main gaming state number. This is because non-AT is set from the next game. In step S265, "0" is set as the external signal control number. This is because, as shown in FIG. 25, the number of AT games is exhausted and an external signal indicating that the AT stock number has become “0” is transmitted. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

FIG. 42 is a flowchart showing the main game state 4 (b) in step S156 and the main game state 5 (b) in step S157 in FIG.
In the main game state 4 (b), first, in step S271, it is determined whether or not the 1BB game is ended in the current game. When it is determined that the 1BB game has ended, the process proceeds to step S272. When it is determined that the 1BB game has not ended, the processing according to this flowchart is ended.
In step S272, it is determined whether or not the number of AT stocks exceeds “0”. When it is determined that the number of AT stocks exceeds “0”, the process proceeds to step S273. When it is determined that the number of AT stocks does not exceed “0” (is “0”), the process proceeds to step S275.

In step S273, “2” is set as the main game state number. As a result, the next game is prepared for AT. In step S274, “1” is set as the external signal control number (FIG. 25). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.
On the other hand, when proceeding from step S272 to step S275, “0” is set as the main gaming state number. Thereby, the next game becomes non-AT (normal). In step S276, “1” is set as the external signal control number (FIG. 25). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

Further, the processing of steps S281 to S286 in the main gaming state 5 (b) differs from the main gaming state 4 (b) only in the first step S281. In step S281, it is determined whether or not the 2BB game has ended in the current game. If it is determined that the game has ended, the process proceeds to step S282. If it is determined that the 2BB game has not ended, the process according to this flowchart ends.
Since the processing of steps S282 to S286 is the same as the processing of steps S272 to S276 described above, description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing the RT gaming state management in step S167 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 37, in the game end check process, when the special game is not in operation, the RT game state management in step S167 is executed.
First, in step S291, it is determined whether or not the current game is non-RT. When it is determined that it is non-RT, the process proceeds to step S298, and when it is determined that it is not non-RT, the process proceeds to step S292. The determination of RT in step S291 is performed by determining the data value of the RT gaming state number (_NB_RT_STS) of the RWM 53.

In step S292, it is determined whether or not the current game is RT1. When it is determined that it is RT1, the process proceeds to step S293, and when it is determined that it is not RT1, the process proceeds to step S295.
In step S293, it is determined whether or not replay 03 or 04 is displayed in the current game. When it is determined that the replay 03 or 04 is displayed, the process proceeds to step S294. When it is determined that the replay 03 or 04 is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S296.
In step S294, “2” is set as the RT gaming state number. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.
On the other hand, when the process proceeds to step S295, it is determined whether or not the current game is RT2. When it is determined that it is RT2, the process proceeds to step S296, and when it is determined that it is not RT2, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

In step S296, it is determined whether or not any one of replay 01 or 02 or small roles 02 to 27 is displayed. When it is determined that any of these combinations is displayed, the process proceeds to step S297. When it is determined that any combination is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S298.
In step S297, “0” is set as the RT gaming state number. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

In step S298, it is determined whether or not a special figure is displayed in the current game. When it is determined that the special figure is displayed, the process proceeds to step S299, and when it is determined that the special figure is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S300.
In step S299, “1” is set as the RT gaming state number. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

In step S300, it is determined whether or not the accessory condition device has been activated, that is, whether or not 1BB or 2BB has been won in the current game. When it is determined that the accessory condition device has been operated, the process proceeds to step S301, and when it is determined that the accessory condition device has not been operated, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated. In step S301, “3” is set as the RT gaming state number. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.
As described above, the RT game state number corresponding to the combination of the displayed symbols and the presence / absence of operation of the accessory condition device is set.

FIG. 44 is a flowchart showing interrupt processing. As described above, the main control board 60 executes the interrupt process shown in FIG. 44 at a period of 2.235 ms in parallel with the game progress main process of FIG.
First, in step S501, register value saving and duplication interrupt prohibition processing are performed as initial processing. Here, in order to use the register of the main CPU 55 used in the game progress main process for the interrupt process, the current register value is saved in the stack area of the RWM 53. Further, the interrupt prohibition flag is turned on so that the next interrupt process is not started during the interrupt process. This is because, for example, an interrupt process execution request may be made during the power-off process.

In the next step S502, it is determined whether or not a power-off is detected. Here, a predetermined bit of a predetermined input port of the main control board 60 when the power supply voltage becomes a predetermined value or less by a voltage monitoring device (power-off detection circuit) provided on the main control board 60 (not shown). Since a power-off detection signal is input to, it is detected whether or not the signal has been input.
When power-off is detected, the process proceeds to power-off processing in step S514. When it is determined that power-off is not detected, the process proceeds to step S503.

In step S503, the control counter value is updated.
In the next step S504, timer measurement is performed. This process is a process of subtracting the time set in the game progress main process. Specifically, subtraction processing of the minimum game time (4.1 seconds) set at the start of the game can be mentioned.
Next, it progresses to step S505 and LED display control is performed. Here, according to the state of the slot machine 10, a set value, a stored number, an acquired number, an error display content (error code), push order instruction information, etc. are stored, a stored number display LED 38, an acquired number display LED 39, a set value display LED. This is a process of lighting using (not shown in FIG. 1).

  In step S506, input port reading processing is performed. As a result, whether or not the operation of the bet switch 40, the start switch 41, the stop switch 42, etc. has been performed, the switch signals and the input signals of various sensors are read, and data (level data, rising data, Falling data) is generated and stored in a predetermined address of the RWM 53. In the next step S507, drive management (control) of the reel 31 is performed. This management is performed in units of 31 reels (left, middle, and right), and includes stopping, constant speed, acceleration, deceleration, deceleration start, and standby according to the operation state.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S508, where it is determined whether or not the management for all the reels 31 (step S507) has been completed. If all the reels 31 have been completed, the process proceeds to step S509. In step S509, port output processing is performed. In this process, the excitation output of the motor 32 (for reel) and the hopper motor 36 and the excitation output of the blocker 45 are performed.

In the next step S510, a control command is transmitted. This process is a process of transmitting an untransmitted control command stored in the control command buffer (_BF_SUBCMD) of the RWM 53 to the sub-control board 80.
Specifically, when the control command is set in the control command buffer, the control command is transmitted to the sub control board 80 by executing this step S510 in the interrupt processing after that point.
In the next step S511, an external signal output process is performed. In this process, the data of the external signal flag (_FL_INF_OUT) stored in the RWM 53 is written (set) to the output port 5 to transmit the external signal to the external concentration terminal board 100 (see FIG. 25). Equivalent to.

  In the next step S512, random number update processing is performed. Further, in the next step S513, as the return process, the register value saved in step S501 is restored, and the next interrupt is permitted. Specifically, the register data stored at the start of interrupt processing is restored and the interrupt prohibition flag is turned off so that the next interrupt processing can be started. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

By the above-described interrupt processing every 2.235 ms, lighting / extinguishing of the storage number display LED 38 and the acquisition number display LED 39 is controlled.
Further, when an untransmitted control command is stored in the control command buffer for each interrupt process, the transmission process is performed.

Second Embodiment
As described above, the lottery regarding the AT is not executed from the next game of the game won in the special role (game in which the special role condition device operation flag is turned on). That is, in a game won for a special combination (a game in which the special combination condition device operation flag is off), a lottery regarding AT may be executed. Here, in the first embodiment, a lottery of “1BB + replay D” is performed, and when this condition device is won, replay 06 as replay D wins in the game. Therefore, the player can expect to win 1BB in the game won by Replay 06. Replay D may be won by itself (see FIG. 14).
Replay D is set as an AT lottery opportunity (FIG. 16). For this reason, when Replay 06 wins, the player can also expect AT winning. Therefore, when Replay 06 wins, both 1BB winning and AT winning can be expected.

  In addition, the winning probability of the replay condition device can be changed as the RT changes. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the lottery of the replay D is not performed during RT3, that is, inside any special role. As a result, since Replay 06 never wins in the special role, Replay 06 won even though it was a game in the inside, which was a wasteful withdrawal to the player (originally AT It is possible to avoid making an impression that the player has won an AT lottery opportunity that can receive a lottery, but has not been able to receive an AT lottery because he has won an AT lottery opportunity in RT3 where no AT lottery is performed. .

On the other hand, in the second embodiment, in a non-internal middle game, as a condition device (a condition device in which a special role and a small role or a replay are won simultaneously), in addition to “1BB + replay D” in the first embodiment, “1BB + small role D1” and “1BB + small role D2” are provided.
In the second embodiment, the small combination D1 and the small combination D2 are AT lottery triggers (FIG. 16).
FIG. 45 is a diagram showing a winning probability determined by the conditional device lottery table in the second embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 14 in the first embodiment.

  Here, as described above, the winning probability of the replay condition device can be different between the non-internal and the inside, but the winning probability of the small role condition device is different from the non-internal and internal It is required to set the same in the middle. For this reason, unlike the first embodiment, it is not possible to prevent the small combination D1 or the small combination D2 from being drawn in the internal middle game. Accordingly, the numbers to be won for the small combination D1 or the small combination D2 in the non-inside and the inside are both set to “2”. For this reason, in the game in the inside, there is a case where the small combination D1 or small combination D2 is won and the small combination 30 or 31 wins.

In the second embodiment, when “1BB + small combination D1” or “1BB + small combination D2” is won in the non-inside, the process related to freeze is controlled to be executable.
Here, “freezing” means delaying the progress of the game by pausing it for a predetermined period. For example, the functions relating to the reception of medals, the reception of the operation of the bet switch 40, the reception of the operations of the start switch 41 and the stop switch 42 (the reception of the stop operation of the reel 31) are put in a pause state. Furthermore, the reel 31 may be used as an effect period during which the reel 31 performs an operation different from the normal operation. This operation is also called a pseudo game or a reel effect.
For example, when the start switch 41 is operated, the rotation of the reel 31 is normally started and acceleration processing is performed until the reel 31 reaches a constant speed. However, when the freeze is executed when the start switch 41 is operated, the reel 31 rotates. Not starting, and performing an operation different from the normal rotation starting operation.

In the second embodiment, when winning the small combination D1 or the small combination D2, there is a case where the winning combination is overlapped with 1BB in addition to the case of the single winning combination. For this reason, when the small combination 30 or the small combination 31 wins, there is a possibility that 1BB is won. Therefore, when the small combination D1 or small combination D2 is won, processing related to freezing can be executed, and by showing the freeze to the player, the possibility of winning 1BB is notified.
Further, when the small combination D1 or small combination D2 is won, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the first AT lottery and the AT additional lottery are performed. Therefore, in order to notify the player of the lottery results related to these ATs, it is possible to execute processing related to freezing.

In other words, even when “1BB + small role D1” or “1BB + small role D2” is won, a lottery regarding AT may be won at the same time. For example, when “1BB + small role D1” is won during the AT, there is a case where the first AT lottery or the AT extra lottery is won.
In addition, when “1BB + small role D1” or “1BB + small role D2” is won during AT, the number of AT games is subtracted as shown in FIG. Stop.

Note that a plurality of types of processing relating to freeze may be provided, and for example, the reliability of 1BB winning or AT winning may be notified by a freeze pattern.
On the other hand, when winning the small role D1 or small role 2 in the next game after the game won for the special role (game where the special role condition device operation flag is on), during non-AT (normal), AT preparation, In any case during AT, the lottery regarding AT is not executed as in the first embodiment. Then, when the small combination D1 or small combination 2 is won after the next game of the game won for the special combination (game in which the special combination condition device operation flag is on), the processing related to freezing is not executed.

When winning a small role D1 or small role D2 (including duplicate winning with 1BB) during non-inside, the effect (image display etc.) on whether or not 1BB was won and whether or not AT was won Control to output. Here, when “1BB + small role D1” or “1BB + small role D2” is won, an effect indicating that 1BB has been won is finally output.
In addition, when an AT (either first win or extra) is won, an effect indicating that it has been won in the lottery regarding the AT is finally output.
Further, when a small role D1 or D2 is won in the non-inside middle game, a back lamp effect (an effect that boosts the winning of 1BB or AT) is output.

On the other hand, even if the small role D1 or the small role D2 is won in the internal game, the effect (image display, back lamp effect, etc.) on whether or not the 1BB is won or not is output. . When the small role D1 or small role 2 is won after the next game of the game won for the special role (game in which the special role condition device operation flag is on), the lottery regarding the AT is not executed, so the small role D1 or small This is to make it difficult to notice that the combination D2 has been won (the small combination 30 or the small combination 31 is displayed).
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 45, by setting the numbers of “1BB + small role D1” and “1BB + small role D2” to “1BB + replay D” to a small value, the small role D1 or For example, the small role D2 is difficult to win. If set in this way, the winning probability in the non-inside is also reduced, but the chances of winning the small combination D1 or small combination D2 in the internal medium game can be reduced.

<Third Embodiment>
46 to 52 are diagrams showing effect group numbers (effect group number table or the like) in the third embodiment. The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the effect group number table. The production group number table of the first embodiment is as shown in FIG. As the third embodiment, first to seventh examples ((1) to (7)) are given. Among these examples, there is an example in which no production group number table is provided.

FIG. 46 is a diagram illustrating a first example of the effect group number table of the third embodiment. In this example, different effect group number tables are provided depending on the main game state.
Specifically, an effect group number table when not in the push order instruction state (main game state 0, 1, 4, 5 o'clock) and an effect group when in the push order instruction state (main game state 2, 3 o'clock) A number table.

  And the production group number table when it is not a pushing order instruction | indication state is the same as 1st Embodiment (FIG. 20). On the other hand, in the effect group number table in the push order instruction state, the effect group numbers for the condition devices having the correct push order are newly set from “11”. For this reason, for example, the replay B1 with the correct pressing order has the effect group number “11”, and the small role C6 with the correct pressing order has the effect group number “34”. In the push order instruction state (main game state 2 and 3 o'clock), since the small role E is not drawn, the production group number corresponding to the small role E is not provided (the same applies to the following examples). .) Needless to say, the production group number is not limited to this.

  Furthermore, if the correct pressing order corresponding to the effect group number is stored in the ROM 84 on the sub control board 80 side, it is not necessary to transmit the pressing order instruction number to the sub control board 80. For example, when the production group number “11” is received, the sub-control board 80 may determine that the correct answer pressing order is “left middle right”.

FIG. 47 is a diagram showing a second example of the effect group number table in the third embodiment, which is a modification of the first example.
In the second example of FIG. 47, the effect group number table when not in the push order instruction state (main game state 0, 1, 4, 5 o'clock) is the same as in the first embodiment. On the other hand, in the push group instruction state (main game state 2 and 3 o'clock), the production group number table is newly set from “128”, including the case where the condition device is not elected. , Serial number. For this reason, the production group number does not become the same number when in the push order instruction state and when not in the push order instruction state.

  Also, in this example, if the production group number is received, it can be determined whether it is in the push order instruction state or not in the push order instruction state. Specifically, if the received effect group number is “10” or less, it can be determined that it is not in the push order instruction state, and if the received effect group number is “128” or more, it is determined that the push order instruction state is present. Judgment can be made.

  Furthermore, by setting the production group number from “128”, when the production group number is 1-byte data, the production group number with the D7 bit set to “1” can be set. For example, “128” becomes “10000000”. The sub control board 80 is the effect group number in the main game state 2 or 3 (in the push order instruction state) when the D7 bit is “1” when the effect group number is received. It can be judged. In addition, when the correct answer pressing order is included, if the correct answer pressing order corresponding to the effect group number is stored, the correct answer pressing order can be determined by receiving the effect group number. For example, when the production group number is “130”, it can be determined that it is “left middle right (A1)”. For this reason, it is not necessary to transmit the main game state number and the push order instruction number to the sub-control board 80. Of course, the main game state number may be transmitted to the sub control board 80, and the sub control board 80 may determine whether or not the effect group number corresponding to the main game state number has been received (in this case, the effect group number is When it is determined that it has not been received, the pressing order may not be notified.)

FIG. 48 is a diagram showing a third example of the effect group number table in the third embodiment. In the third example, the effect group number in the push order instruction state (main game state 2, 3) is the same as the winning and replay condition device number. In this case, the effect group number table may be set to the same number as the winning and replay condition device number, but from the viewpoint of capacity reduction, the effect group number table in the push order instruction state is not provided. In the push order instruction state, the winning and replay condition device numbers may be copied and stored in the RWM 53 as effect group numbers.
As described above, the maximum value of the production group number in the push order instruction state is “29”.
Also in the case of the third example, if the correct pressing order corresponding to the effect group number is stored in the ROM 84 on the sub control board 80 side, it is not necessary to transmit the pressing order instruction number to the sub control board 80.

Further, in the effect group number table when not in the push order instruction state, the effect group number of the condition device that does not have the correct push order is the same as the effect group number in the push order instruction state. For example, the effect group number of Replay A is “1”, the effect group number of Replay D is “9”, and is the same as the effect group number in the push order instruction state.
On the other hand, in the effect group number table when not in the push order instruction state, the condition device groups with the correct push order are assigned from the number “30”. For example, the effect group numbers of replays B1 to B6 are set to “30”, the effect group numbers of small roles A1 to A6 are set to “31”,.
Further, without providing the production group number table when not in the push order instruction state, and when not in the push order instruction state, for example, basically, the winning and replay condition device numbers are copied, but the winning and replay condition device numbers are copied. Is within the range of “2” to “7”, and if it is within the range, a range that is not copied and rewritten to “30” is stored in the RWM 53 as the effect group number A determination process may be performed (a conversion program is provided). Accordingly, as in the second example, it is possible to determine whether or not the push order instruction state is set based on the effect group number without transmitting the push order instruction number.

FIG. 49 is a diagram showing a fourth example of the effect group number table in the third embodiment. In the fourth example, the method of selecting the effect group number in the push order instruction state is the same as in the third example.
On the other hand, the production group number table when not in the push order instruction state is newly set from “128” including the non-winning condition device. Thereby, similarly to the second example, it is possible to determine whether or not there is a pressing order instruction based on the effect group number without transmitting the pressing order instruction number.

FIG. 50 is a diagram illustrating a fifth example of the effect group number table in the third embodiment. In the fifth example, the same effect group number table is used regardless of the main game state.
Here, in any of the above-described examples, when the accessory condition device is selected, the accessory condition device number itself is transmitted to the sub-control board 80. As shown in FIG. 26, the main control board 60 transmits a control command “3B01 (H)” to the sub-control board 80 when, for example, the accessory condition device number “1” is selected. Thereby, it can be determined that the sub-control board 80 has won the accessory condition device number “1”.
And in each said example, the production group number with respect to an accessory condition apparatus is not provided.

  On the other hand, in the fifth example of FIG. 50, in addition to the production group numbers of the first embodiment, production group numbers “11” and “12” are provided. The production group numbers corresponding to 1BB and 2BB) were set. For example, the production group number “11” is transmitted for all the games won for 1BB and the next game after the game won for 1BB. When the sub-control board 80 receives the production group number “11” or “12”, the sub-control board 80 can determine that the accessory condition device has been won. Therefore, when set in this way, the sub control board 80 can know the information on the accessory condition apparatus number without transmitting the information on the accessory condition apparatus number to the sub control board 80.

  Here, for example, when a special combination and a combination of “PB ≠ 1” are won, or after winning a special combination (inside), a combination of “PB ≠ 1” is won, In some cases, it is possible that a small role winning simultaneously with a special role can win a prize, and in other pushing orders, a special role can be awarded (which may be designed as such). Then, when the accessory condition device number and the effect group number corresponding to the winning combination of “PB ≠ 1” are transmitted, the information regarding the pressing order is not transmitted to the sub-control board 80. However, there is a possibility that the push order for winning the special combination or the push order for winning the combination of “PB ≠ 1” is actually transmitted to the sub-control board 80.

  Therefore, as shown in the fifth example, when the special role and one of the roles are won repeatedly, or when any of the roles is won after the special role is won, the production group number “11” or “ If “12” is transmitted (the accessory condition device number is not transmitted), information other than the main game state 2 or 3 that can identify an advantageous push order can be more reliably transmitted.

FIG. 51 is a diagram illustrating a sixth example in the third embodiment. In the sixth example, only the condition device number is provided without the production group number, and the condition device number is transmitted to the sub-control board 80. The sub-control board 80 determines the effect according to the received condition device number.
Furthermore, when the push order is not instructed (in the main game states 0, 1, 4, 5), after determining the condition device number, it is converted into a condition device number in which the correct push order cannot be specified and transmitted to the sub-control board 80. To do.
First, in the push order instruction state, when the winning and replay condition device number (winning condition device) is determined, the number is stored in the winning and replay condition device number (_NB_CND_NOR) of the RWM 53. Then, this information is transmitted to the sub control board 80.

On the other hand, when it is not in the push order instruction state, when the winning and replay condition device number is determined, predetermined conversion (rewriting) is performed at a predetermined timing (for example, immediately before transmission to the sub-control board 80). As shown, the winning device of “31”, the replay A of “32”, the replays B1 to B6 of “33”,... Are converted, and the converted values are converted into RWM 53 winning and replay condition devices. Store in the number (_NB_CND_NOR). Then, the converted condition device number is transmitted to the sub-control board 80. Note that the smallest value is set to “31” at the time of conversion, as in the third example, so as not to overlap with the condition device number in the push order instruction state.
Furthermore, when the received condition device number is “30” or less, the sub control board 80 determines that the condition device number is in the push order instruction state, and the received condition device number is “31”. When it is above, it can be determined that the condition device number is not in the push order instruction state. For this reason, it is not necessary to transmit the main game state number and the push order instruction number to the sub-control board 80.

If the condition device number is converted, the condition device number itself stored in the main control board 60 is changed. As a method for avoiding this, the storage area of the original condition device number (condition device number before conversion) and the condition device number for transmission of the sub-control board 80 (condition device number after conversion) are stored in the RWM 53. And providing.
In addition, when it is difficult to provide the two storage areas, it is preferable to perform conversion at a timing that does not cause any problem even if the conditional device number itself is converted, such as after execution of a lottery regarding AT.
Furthermore, when converting the condition device number, a conversion data table may be provided, or a conversion program may be provided.

  FIG. 52 is a diagram showing a seventh example of the effect group number table in the third embodiment. The seventh example shows a modification of the sixth example. In the seventh example, the condition device number is converted only when a condition device that is not in the push order instruction state (main game state 0, 1, 4, 5) and has the correct push order is selected. In the example of FIG. 52, as in the sixth example, the smallest value after conversion is set to “31”. As a result, the condition device number when winning the replays B1 to B6 is converted to “31”, the condition device number when winning the small roles A1 to A6 is converted to “32”, and so on.

  If the condition device that does not have the correct push order is selected when it is not in the push order instruction state, the condition device number that is not converted is stored in the RWM 53 as in the push order instruction state. Transmit to the control board 80. On the other hand, when the condition device having the correct answer pressing order is selected in the case where the pressing order is not indicated, the value is converted to the value shown in FIG. 52 and transmitted to the sub-control board 80. As in the sixth example, the RWM 53 may store the condition device number before conversion and the condition device number after conversion separately.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, For example, the following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) In the present embodiment, the AT return is provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the AT return may not be provided. In this case, if there is a push order mistake during AT, RT falls from RT2 to non-RT or RT1, but AT continues as it is and subtraction of the number of AT games continues. Further, in the non-RT or RT1, the same notification as during the AT recovery shown in the embodiment is performed, and the system is guided to RT2.

(2) As a special role overlapping with a rare replay (Replay D) or a rare small role (small role D1 or D2), 1BB was given as an example. However, it is also possible to duplicate these rare roles and 2BB. Is possible. Even in the case where 2BB and a rare combination are won simultaneously, the same control as in the above embodiment can be performed.
(3) In this embodiment, after acquiring the push order instruction number, it is converted into push order instruction information (for example, “A1” is set to “= 1”) and displayed. It is also possible to display the instruction number itself. Alternatively, the selected condition device number itself may be displayed. For example, “10” may be displayed when winning the small combination A1.

(4) In the present embodiment, when the pushing order bell is selected, the stop control of the reels 31 is performed by the number priority and the number priority. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the following stop control of the reel 31 can also be adopted.
For example, the push order is 6 choices. When the first stop is incorrect, a symbol combination that satisfies the transition condition to non-RT is displayed. Further, at the time of the first stop correct answer and the second stop incorrect answer, a combination of symbols satisfying the transition condition to RT1 is displayed. Even with this setting, three patterns of non-RT transition, RT1 transition, and RT2 maintenance can be provided when the push order bell is won.

(5) Regarding the output of the external signal, the following modifications are possible.
a) When winning 1BB or 2BB, the external signal 1 flag and the external signal 2 flag may be turned off. For example, this can be realized by setting the external signal control number to 1 when 1BB or 2BB is won.
b) After winning 1BB or 2BB and notifying the winning, the external signal 1 flag and the external signal 2 flag may be turned off. For example, it can be realized by managing how many games after winning 1BB or 2BB are notified, and setting the external signal control number to 1 when the number of games is exhausted.
c) The external signal 1 flag and the external signal 2 flag may be turned off when transitioning from RT2 to non-RT or RT1 and when transitioning from RT1 to non-RT (so-called RT fall). This can be realized by setting the external signal control number to 1 at the transition to RT.

(6) In the present embodiment, when the transition from non-RT to RT1 is made, the push order bells A1 to B6 are won and a special figure is displayed. Further, as described above, informing the incorrect answer pressing order has a rule restriction.
Therefore, if there is no problem in the rules, in non-RT, when the push order bells A1 to B6 are elected, the push order (transition push order) that can display a special chart for transition from non-RT to RT1 is obtained. You may display on display LED39. Note that whether or not to notify the image display device 23 of the shift push order is arbitrary.
Further, even when the small roles A1 to B6 are won in the non-RT, the correct pressing order may be displayed on the acquired number display LED 39. In this case, the image display device 23 may not notify the pressing order.

  (7) Although the acquisition number display LED 39 is used to display the push order instruction information, the present invention is not limited to this, and another LED or an LED dedicated to display the push order instruction information may be provided. Alternatively, if there is no possibility of misunderstanding / confusing whether the storage number is displayed or the push order instruction information is displayed, it is also possible to display the push order instruction information on the storage number display LED 38. For example, if “=” is used to display the upper digits as in the present embodiment, it is considered that there is no possibility of being misidentified and confused with the number of stored items.

(8) In FIG. 24, the relationship between the AT continuation effect, the special role winning notification, and the AT continuation / AT return is explained, but it is not limited to the specific number of games shown in FIG.
For example, the specified number of games for AT is G1 (“50” in the example of FIG. 24), the number of games for starting the AT continuous effect is G2 (“48” in the example of FIG. 24), and AT is started. When the special role is won by the time the game number reaches G3 (“44” in the example of FIG. 24), the special role win is notified without waiting for the specified game number G1 to be reached. As long as the relationship of “G1>G2> G3” is satisfied, the number of games can be arbitrarily set. In addition, it is preferable that the number of games from reaching G3 to G2 is smaller than the number of games from reaching AT to starting G3.

(9) In the flowchart shown in the present embodiment, the order of processing is not limited to the order shown in the figure, and when the order of processing can be changed, the order of processing can be changed. .
(10) The embodiment and various modifications are not limited to being implemented alone, and can be implemented in appropriate combination.

<Appendix>

The means and the effect of the initial invention are as follows. However, the initial invention is not meant to be limited to the following initial inventions 1 to 10.
The invention according to the initial claim of the present application corresponds to the following initial invention 4.

1. Initial invention 1
(A) Problem to be Solved by the Initial Invention 1 The initial invention relates to a slot machine that includes a plurality of lottery states (RT) having different winning probabilities for replay and controls transition between these lottery states.
Conventionally, there is known a slot machine that includes a plurality of RTs having different replay winning probabilities and controls transition between these RTs.
And, it is known that AT is executed when staying at an advantageous RT with a high replay winning probability among a plurality of RTs, and after the AT ends, it is transferred to another RT with a low replay winning probability. ing.
In this case, conventionally, in order to make it difficult to shift to an advantageous RT during non-AT, a method of setting a penalty in a specific push order during non-AT is known. In addition, it is known that control is performed so as not to shift to an advantageous RT if a plurality of RTs are provided and the correct answer is not made in a plurality of games in the order of pushing (see, for example, JP 2011-212474 A).
Here, recently, there is a tendency that AT management (control) is not performed on the sub-control board but on the main control board.
However, when performing AT management on the main control board, if the number of replays for shifting to RT increases, the capacity of the main control board is compressed, so that there is a problem that many replays cannot be provided. .
The problem to be solved by the invention is to reduce the types of replays for shifting the lottery state in the slot machine that shifts the lottery state (RT).

(B) Means for solving the problem of the first invention 1 (the corresponding embodiment will be described in parentheses)

When the start switch of the next game is operated based on the satisfaction of the start condition of the predetermined notification control state (the transition from the main game state 2 to the main game state 3), the main control means ON information of a predetermined external signal indicating that the notification control state is present (external signal 1 flag to external signal 3 flag are ON)
It is characterized by that.

The third solution means in the first or second solution means,
The start condition of the predetermined notification control state is a winning condition satisfying the start condition of the predetermined notification control state by lottery in the role lottery means in the control state before entering the predetermined notification control state (winning of replays B1 to B6). It is characterized by

The fourth solving means is the first to third solving means,
The main control means is in a predetermined notification control state and satisfies a predetermined notification control state when a predetermined notification control state end condition is satisfied in a second lottery state or a third lottery state. OFF information of the predetermined external signal indicating the state is output.

(C) Effect of Initial Invention 1 According to the initial invention, when a specific winning is made in the third lottery state, the first lottery state or the second lottery is selected according to the first to third operation modes of the stop switch. Or the third lottery state is maintained. For example, the specific winning is a so-called push order bell, and when the winning combination of the push order is incorrect / not won, the correct push order is set respectively.

8). Initial invention 8
(A) Problems to be solved by the original invention 8 The original invention is a slot that interrupts the progress of a game in a predetermined notification control state when the lottery state (RT) falls in the predetermined notification control state (AT). It is about the machine.
In the prior art, even if an error occurs in the order of pressing the stop switch by the player during AT and the RT falls, the AT is continued. For this reason, AT is continued at RT disadvantageous to the player (low replay winning probability), and the number of AT games is also subtracted (for example, Japanese Patent No. 5766247).
However, the conventional technique has a problem in that the player's disadvantage becomes too great when a mistake in pressing the stop switch by the player occurs. In particular, in order to return to the original RT of the AT after the RT falls, it is necessary to win a rare replay, for example. However, since the chance of winning a rare replay is not so high, there is a problem that a certain number of games are required to win a rare replay.
The problem to be solved by the invention is to alleviate a disadvantage caused by a player's operation error of a stop switch in a predetermined notification control state (AT).
