Here, with respect to the main control unit 300, if the data capacity is large, it becomes difficult to confirm the program, and there is a problem of security deterioration such as a hotbed for unauthorized modification. And the data capacity of the RAM 308 is limited. Note that the main control unit 300 corresponds to an example of a game control unit, an advantage setting unit, and an error detection unit of the present invention, and the first sub control unit 400 corresponds to an example of an effect control unit of the present invention.

<Main control unit>
First, the main controller 300 of the slot machine 100 will be described. The main control unit 300 includes a basic circuit 302 for controlling the entire main control unit 300. The basic circuit 302 includes a CPU 304, control program data, lottery data used in the internal lottery of a winning combination, and reel symbols. ROM 306 storing an array, stop positions, etc., RAM 308 for temporarily storing data, I / O 310 for controlling input / output of various devices, and counter timer 312 for measuring time, number of times, etc. And a WDT (watch dog timer) 314. Note that another storage device may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and this is the same for the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500 described later. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined cycle output from the crystal oscillator 315b as a system clock. Further, when the power is turned on, the CPU 304 transmits data for frequency division stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 306 to the counter timer 312, and the counter timer 312 calculates an interrupt time based on the received data for frequency division. Then, an interrupt request is transmitted to the CPU 304 at each interrupt time. The CPU 304 executes monitoring of each sensor and the like and transmission of a drive pulse in response to the interrupt request. For example, when the clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 315b is set to 8 MHz, the frequency division value of the counter timer 312 is set to 1/256, and the frequency division data of the ROM 306 is set to 47, the interrupt reference time is 256 × 47/8 MHz = 1.504 ms.

  The main control unit 300 includes a random number generation circuit 316 used as a hardware random number counter that changes a numerical value in a range of 0 to 65535 based on a clock signal input from the crystal oscillator 315a, and a start signal when power is turned on.

<Symbol array>
Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a description will be given of the symbol arrangement applied to each of the reels 110 to 112 described above. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an array of symbols applied to each of the reels (the left reel 110, the middle reel 111, and the right reel 112) in a flatly developed manner.

  On each of the reels 110 to 112, a plurality of types (eight types in this embodiment) of symbols shown on the right side of the drawing are arranged by a predetermined number of frames (21 frames of numbers 0 to 20 in this embodiment). Also, numbers 0 to 20 shown on the left end of the drawing are numbers indicating the arrangement positions of the symbols on the respective reels 110 to 112. For example, in the present embodiment, the frame of the left reel 110 with the number 19 is “replay symbol”, the frame of the middle reel 111 with the number 20 is “bell symbol”, and the frame of the right reel 112 with the number 18 is “watermelon symbol”. ”Are arranged respectively.

  The slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment stops the corresponding reels 110 to 112 within the maximum pull-in range (less than 5 frames in the present embodiment) from the position where the stop operation is performed in order to enhance the interest of the game. It is configured.

<Type of winning combinations>
Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure shows the types of winning combinations (including operating combinations), symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and the payout of each winning combination.

  The winning combinations of the slot machine 100 include BB1 to BB4, RB, cherry, watermelon, bell, and replay. Note that the types of winning combinations are not limited to these combinations, and may be arbitrarily adopted.

  Among the winning combinations in the present embodiment, BB1 to BB4 and RB are combinations that shift to a state in which a predetermined profit is given to the player (BB state and RB state described later; see the remarks column in FIG. 6). The replay is a role that enables a replay without inserting a new medal. These BB1 to BB4, RB, and replay may be referred to as an “operator”. The “winning” in the present embodiment also includes a case where a symbol combination of an actor without a medal payout (without a medal payout) is displayed on the activated line, for example, BB1 to BB4, RB and replay winnings are included. Note that BB1 to BB4 and RB are special roles that are carried over to the next game if the winning is not determined, and the other roles are not carried over to the next game if the winning is not determined. It is a role.

  BB1 to BB4 are roles (operating roles) that shift to the BB state upon winning. However, no medal will be paid out for winning the role. Corresponding symbol combinations are “BB1-BB1-BB1” for BB1, “BB2-BB2-BB2” for BB2, “BB2-BB2-BB1” for BB3, and “BB1-BB1-BB2” for BB4.

  RB is a hand (operating hand) that shifts to the RB state upon winning. However, no medal will be paid out for winning the role. The corresponding symbol combination is “RB-RB-RB”.

  When the BB1 to BB4 and RB are internally won, the internal winning flag corresponding to the special combination that has been internally won is set to ON (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300). When the flags corresponding to BB1 to BB4 are set to ON, the main control unit 300 shifts the state of the game to the inside BB state (RT3), and determines that the flag corresponding to RB is set to ON. The main control unit 300 shifts the state of the game to the RB internal hit state (RT2). These flags are kept on until the corresponding winning combination is won, so that the winning combinations can be easily won in the next and subsequent games. Specifically, even if a player does not win a winning combination in a game internally won for BB1 to BB4 and RB, the same state as the state where the player has been internally won for BB1 to BB4 and RB will be obtained in the next and subsequent games. Will be ready to win. The BB internal state and the RB internal state will be described later.

  Note that, when BB1 to BB4 and RB overlap with another role (watermelon or cherry) and are internally won, or when another role is internally won in the internal status, another role is constituted. Reel stop control is executed so that the symbols are arranged preferentially.

  The main controller 300 shifts the state of the game to the BB state (RT5) based on the display of the symbol combination corresponding to BB1 to BB4. Further, in this BB state, when a payout exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 315, see the remarks column in FIG. 6) is made, the state of the game is shifted to the re-game high probability state (RT1). The replay high probability state will be described later.

  The main controller 300 shifts the game state to the RB state (RT4) based on the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the RB. Further, in this RB state, when a payout exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 105) is made, the state of the game is shifted to the normal state (RT0). This normal state will be described later.

  The replay is a winning combination (operating combination) in which a game can be performed without inserting a medal (game medium) in the next game by winning, and the medal is not paid out. The corresponding symbol combination is “replay-replay-replay”.

  The replay may be any role as long as the player can play the next game without inserting a medal. Therefore, for example, when a player wins a replay, the insertion of medals may be automatically inserted in the next game (the number of inserted medals is reset in a medal insertion number storage area described later), or a game that wins a replay may be performed. The medal inserted in may be used as it is for the next game.

  Cherry, watermelon, and bell are winning combinations in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, and the corresponding symbol combinations are "cherry-ANY-ANY" for cherry, "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon" for watermelon, and "bell for watermelon". -Bell-bell ". The corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG. In the case of “Cherry-ANY-ANY”, the symbol on the left reel 110 may be “Cherry”, and the symbols on the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 may be any symbols. The bell is a winning combination when an internal win is made regardless of the operation conditions (operation timing, search order).

<Type of game state (RT)>
Next, types of game states of the slot machine 100 and their transitions will be described. FIG. 7 is a transition diagram of a game state of the slot machine 100.

  The slot machine 100 is configured to be able to switch among a plurality of different states having a total of six advantages, namely, a normal state, a replay high probability state, an inside RB state, an inside BB state, an RB state, and a BB state. By changing these states, the degree of advantage is changed and the interest of the game is improved. In the following description, this game state may be referred to as RT, and the above-mentioned normal state, re-game high probability state, RB inside hit state, BB inside hit state, RB state, and BB state are respectively described. They may be referred to as RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4, and RT5 in this order. When these RTs are switched, the corresponding lottery table is changed (described later). The RT is controlled by the main control unit 300.

  FIG. 7 shows each RT described above, and these transition conditions are indicated by arrows. When the transition condition corresponding to each arrow is satisfied, the RT transitions in the direction of the arrow. These transition conditions include, for example, winning a predetermined combination, internally winning a predetermined combination, stopping and displaying a specific symbol combination on a specific winning line, and completing a specified number of games. , And a predetermined number of payouts.

  FIG. 8A is a diagram showing a lottery table of an internal winning combination excluding replays when staying at RT0 to RT3. FIG. 8B is a diagram showing a lottery table for each RT of replay. FIG. 8C is a view showing a lottery table of the internal winning combination at the time of staying at RT4 and RT5.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the state of the game is RT0 to RT3 (sometimes referred to as staying), the internal winning combination excluding the replay is set to the set value (this execution The lottery value differs depending on the form (1 to 6 can be set). Also, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the gaming state is RT4 or RT5, the lottery value of the internal winning combination is a common lottery value regardless of the set value. As for the replay, as shown in FIG. 8B, the lottery value differs for each RT, but there is no difference in the lottery value depending on the set value.

  8 (a) to 8 (c) each show an internal winning combination (condition device) on the vertical axis, and for these internal winning combinations, a lottery corresponding to the RT or the set value shown on the horizontal axis. The value (the size of the range of the lottery data) is shown.

  In the RT described below, the internal winning probability of a winning combination is calculated from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306 by using numerical data corresponding to the range of the winning data associated with each winning combination with the random number value obtained at the time of the internal random drawing. It is determined by the value divided by the numerical data of the range (for example, 65536). For example, in the normal state, the lottery value of the bell is 5000 in any of the settings 1 to 6, and the probability of winning the bell in the normal state is 5000/65536 ≒ 7.63%.

  Regarding the difference in the internal winning probabilities, the higher the set value, the higher the advantage tends to be. More specifically, the payout rate of setting 1 to setting 3 (expected value of the number of medals to be paid out per game ÷ the number of medals used per game × 100) is less than 100%, and setting 4 to setting 6 Is higher than 100%. That is, the settings 4 to 6 are set values that are advantageous for the player.

  The lottery data is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each character range and loss are associated with each numerical range. The random number value obtained as a result of executing the internal lottery is determined to be a value corresponding to the lottery data corresponding to which combination, and an internal lottery combination (internal winning combination) is determined. Note that a game store clerk can arbitrarily select and set any one of the set values.

  Hereinafter, each RT will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

<RT0 (normal state)>
RT0 has the lowest internal winning probability of replay among RT0 to RT3 and is the most disadvantageous RT for the player.

  In RT0, the internal winning combinations include BB1, Cherry + BB1 (Settings 4 to 6), BB2, Cherry + BB2, Watermelon + BB2, BB3, Cherry + BB3 (Settings 6 only), BB4, Cherry + BB4 (Settings 2, Setting 4, Settings 6), RB, cherry + RB, cherry, watermelon, bell, and replay (FIGS. 8A and 8B). If a winning combination has not been won, the winning combination is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed. In addition, the case where the symbol combination related to the winning is not stopped in the winning line may be referred to as “losing”. In addition, the fact that the role has not been won may be expressed as "was lost".

  Note that the sign “+” used in Cherry + BB1 and the like is used to mean that different roles overlap. For example, cherry + BB1 is an internal winning combination indicating that both the cherry and BB1 have been internally won, and watermelon + BB2 is an internal winning combination indicating that both the watermelon and BB2 have been internally won.

  FIG. 7 shows that when RB is won when RT0 is set, the process shifts to RT4, and when BB1 to BB4 is won, the process shifts to RT5. In addition, it is shown that when the game that has been internally won in RB does not win, the process proceeds to RT2, and when the game that has been internally won in BB1 to BB4 does not win, the process proceeds to RT3.

<RT1 (replay high probability state)>
RT1 has a higher probability of winning a replay than RT0, and is an RT that is more advantageous than RT0.

  In RT1, the role of winning inside is BB1, Cherry + BB1 (Setting 4 to Setting 6), BB2, Cherry + BB2, Watermelon + BB2, BB3, Cherry + BB3 (Setting 6 only), BB4, Cherry + BB4 (Setting 2, Setting 4, Settings 6), RB, cherry + RB, cherry, watermelon, bell, and replay (FIGS. 8A and 8B).

  FIG. 7 shows that, when RT1 is set, when RB is won, the process shifts to RT4, and when BB1 to BB4 is won, the process shifts to RT5. In addition, it is shown that when the game that has been internally won in RB does not win, the process proceeds to RT2, and when the game that has been internally won in BB1 to BB4 does not win, the process proceeds to RT3. Further, it is shown that the game shifts to RT0 when 30 games have elapsed while RT1 is set.

<RT2 (equivalent state in RB)>
RT2 is a state in which the internal winning flag corresponding to RB is set to ON. This RT2 is more advantageous than RT0 because it is easier to shift to RT4 than RT0 and has a higher probability of winning a replay than RT0.

  Cherry + BB1 (Setting 4 to Setting 6), Cherry + BB2, Watermelon + BB2, Cherry + BB3 (Setting 6 only), Cherry + BB4 (Setting 2, Setting 4, Setting 6), Cherry + RB, Cherry at RT2 , Watermelon, bell, and replay (FIGS. 8A and 8B). In the case where an internal winning is obtained for an overlapping role with BB1 to BB4 and RB, the internal winning flags corresponding to BB1 to BB4 and RB are not changed, and the overlapping cherry or watermelon is treated as internally won. If the winning combination has not been won internally, the symbol combination corresponding to RB can be displayed by the player performing a stop operation at a predetermined timing.

  FIG. 7 shows that when a RB is won at RT2 (when a symbol combination corresponding to RB is displayed), the process shifts to RT4.

<RT3 (equivalent state in BB)>
RT3 is a state in which the internal winning flag corresponding to any of BB1 to BB4 is set to ON. This RT3 is more advantageous than RT0 because it is easier to shift to RT5 than RT0 and has a higher probability of winning a replay than RT0.

  Cherry + BB1 (Setting 4 to Setting 6), Cherry + BB2, Watermelon + BB2, Cherry + BB3 (Setting 6 only), Cherry + BB4 (Setting 2, Setting 4, Setting 6), Cherry + RB, Cherry at RT3 , Watermelon, bell, and replay (FIGS. 8A and 8B). In the case where an internal winning is obtained for an overlapping role with BB1 to BB4 and RB, the internal winning flags corresponding to BB1 to BB4 and RB are not changed, and the overlapping cherry or watermelon is treated as internally won. If the winning combination has not been won internally, the player performs a stop operation at a predetermined timing to display any of the symbol combinations BB1 to BB4 corresponding to the internal winning flag set to ON. Can be.

  FIG. 7 shows that when the player wins any one of BB1 to BB4 in RT3 (when a symbol combination corresponding to any of BB1 to BB4 is displayed), the process shifts to RT5.

<RT4 (RB state)>
RT4 is an advantageous RT in which the internal winning probability of the bell is higher than in other game states except RT5, and medals can be easily obtained.

  The internal winning combinations at RT4 are cherry, watermelon, and bell (FIGS. 8B and 8C). This bell is a winning combination regardless of the operation conditions (operation timing, operation order) when the internal winning is performed.

  FIG. 7 shows that, when a payout exceeding the specified number (105) is made at RT4, the process shifts to RT0.

  In the present embodiment, the process ends when a predetermined number of payouts are executed in the RT4. For example, the process ends when a predetermined combination (for example, a single bonus) is won, or a predetermined number of times (for example, 8). ) Or a predetermined number of games (for example, six times).

<RT5 (BB state)>
RT5 is an advantageous RT in which the internal probability of the bell is higher than in other game states except RT4, and medals can be easily obtained. This is the most advantageous RT because it continues until more payouts are made than RT4.

  The internal winning combinations at RT5 are cherry, watermelon, and bell (FIGS. 8B and 8C). This bell is a winning combination regardless of the operation conditions (operation timing, operation order) when the internal winning is performed.

  FIG. 7 shows that when payout exceeding a prescribed number is made at RT5, the process shifts to RT0. This prescribed number is 315 when the player wins BB1 or BB2 and moves to RT5, and is 210 when the player wins BB3 or BB4 and moves to RT5.

  In the present embodiment, the process ends when a predetermined number of payouts are executed in the RT5. For example, the process ends when a predetermined combination (for example, a single bonus) is won, or a predetermined number of times (for example, 8). ) Or a predetermined number of games (for example, six times).

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

<Main control unit main processing>
First, the main control unit main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control section main processing.

  As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 338 that outputs a start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 that has received the start signal performs a reset start by a reset interrupt, and executes a main control unit main process shown in FIG. 9 according to a control program stored in the ROM 306 in advance.

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

  In step S103, the presence / absence of medal insertion (care or operation of the bet buttons 130 to 132) is checked, and the pay line display lamp 120 is turned on in response to the medal insertion. When a medal is inserted, preparation for transmission of an insertion command indicating this is made. When a replay is won in the previous game, a process of inserting the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is performed, so that the player does not need to insert medals. In addition, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated in a state where a predetermined number of medals (one for RT4 and RT5, and three other medals) have been used. The determined number of medals and an effective pay line are determined, and the game is started.

  In step S105, a random number value is obtained from the random number value generation circuit 316.

  In step S107, a winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read out according to the current RT, and an internal lottery (lottery of a combination) is performed using this table and the random number value acquired in step S105. decide. As a result of the internal lottery, when one of the winning combinations (including the operating combination) is internally won, the flag of the winning combination is turned on. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S109, reel stop data corresponding to the stop operation is prepared based on the result of the internal lottery. The reel stop data is stored in the ROM 306 of the main controller 300.

  In step S111, the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started on condition that the game interval timer (subtracted in a timer update process described later) is 0, and an initial value is set in the game interval timer. In addition, when the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started, preparation is made for transmitting a reel rotation start command to the first sub-control unit 400. Thereafter, when the reels 110 to 112 reach a predetermined rotation speed, detect the optical sensors provided on each reel, and grasp the symbol position of each reel, the stop operation on the stop buttons 137 to 139 is validated. In addition, the minimum time required for one game (4.1 s in this embodiment) is secured by the above-mentioned game interval counter, and the gambling is suppressed.

  In step S113, a reel stop control process is executed. In this process, if any of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is pressed after the stop operation is validated, the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped. Specifically, each time the stop operation is performed, the stop table of the reel stop data is referred to, and the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the stop operation are stopped according to the number of drawn frames set in the stop table. Also, reel stop data corresponding to the second stop operation is prepared for the first stop operation, and reel stop data corresponding to the third stop operation is prepared for the second stop operation. In addition, for each stop operation, preparations are made to transmit a corresponding command (first to third pressing commands) to the first sub-control unit 400, and each time the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a corresponding command (first to third pressing commands) is stopped. Preparation for transmitting the first to third stop commands) to the first sub control unit 400 is performed. When all the reels 110 to 112 stop, the process proceeds to step S115.

  In step S115, a winning determination process is performed. Here, when a symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. For example, if "bell-bell-bell" is on the activated pay line, it is determined that a bell has been won. After determining the winning combination, preparations are made to transmit a winning command to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S117, if any winning combination with payout has been won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is awarded (paid out), and the number of medals is displayed using the payout number display device 127.

  In step S119, an RT update process is performed. In this process, RT is transited based on the conditions shown in the state transition diagram shown in FIG. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Thus, one game is completed. Thereafter, the process returns to step S103 and the above-described processing is repeated, whereby the game proceeds.

  Next, the details of the winning combination internal lottery (step S107) in the main control unit main processing of FIG. 9 will be described using FIG. 10A. This flowchart is a flowchart of the winning combination internal lottery (step S107) in FIG.

  First, in step S1001, which is executed first, the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read out according to the current RT, and the internal lottery (lottery of the combination) is performed using the random number value acquired in step S105 in FIG. ) To determine the internal winning combination. As a result of the internal lottery, when one of the winning combinations (including the operating combination) is internally won, the flag of the winning combination is turned on.

  In step S1003, it is determined whether the internal winning combination determined in step S1001 is one of BB1 to BB4 and RB. If this condition is satisfied, the flow advances to step S1005; otherwise, this winning combination internal lottery ends.

  In step S1005, the information in the bonus is updated. Specifically, information as to which of the internal winning combinations is BB1 to BB4 or RB and information on RT at the time of internal winning are stored in the bonus in-time information. The bonus information at that time is included in the reel rotation start command and transmitted to the first sub-control 400. After that, the special role (either BB1 to BB4 or RB) won internally will be transferred to RT4 or RT5, but in the game (RT2 or RT3) up to that time, the bonus will be within the bonus. Information is not updated. The information in the bonus is then updated once and then updated again when the special winning (one of BB1 to BB4 or RB) is internally won again after the end of RT4 or RT5.

  Next, the details of the RT update process (step S119) in the main control unit main process of FIG. 9 will be described using FIG. 10B. FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the RT update process (step S119) in FIG.

  First, in step S1101, which is executed first, RT is transited based on the conditions shown in the state transition diagram shown in FIG. At this time, information indicating which state has been shifted to which state is stored in a state shift variable. The information of this state transition variable is included in the payout completion command and transmitted to the first sub-control 400. In the present embodiment, the transition of the state based on the winning of the actor and the transition of the state with different internal winning probabilities of the replay are performed in the same process. However, the configuration is such that these processes are executed separately. Is also good.

  In step S1103, a freeze-related setting is performed based on the state transition variable stored in step S1101. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, details of the freeze processing (step S1103) in the RT update processing of FIG. 10B will be described with reference to FIG. This is a flowchart of the freeze process (step S1103) in FIG. 10B.

  First, in step S1201 executed first, a state transition variable is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S1203. The state transition variable is a variable stored in step S1101 in FIG.

  In step S1203, with reference to the state transition variable acquired in step S1201, it is determined whether RT4 or RT5 has ended (transition from the next game to an RT other than RT4 or RT5). If this condition is satisfied, the flow advances to step S1205; otherwise, this freeze processing ends.

  In step S1205, it is determined with reference to the state transition variable acquired in step S1201 whether or not RT4 has been completed. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1207; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1213.

  In step S1207, the information within the bonus is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S1209. The bonus information at that time is the information updated in step S1005 of FIG.

  In step S1209, with reference to the information in the bonus acquired in step S1207, it is determined whether or not the RB that triggered the transition of RT4 to be ended has been internally won in RT1 (not RT0). If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1213; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1211.

  In step S1211, 1 second is set to the value of the freeze execution timer (hereinafter, freeze timer), and the flow advances to step S1215.

  In step S1213, the value of the freeze timer is set to 4 seconds, and the flow advances to step S1215.

  In step S1215, the value of the freeze timer is referred to, and if this value is not 0, step S1215 is executed again. The value of the freeze timer is decremented in a timer update process described later, and when the value becomes 0, the freeze process ends. That is, the standby process is executed in step S1215 for a time corresponding to the number of seconds set in the value of the freeze timer, and the game is not operated during that time.

<Main controller 300 timer interrupt processing>
Next, the main control unit timer interrupt processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt processing.

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

  In step S201, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In the timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving the value of each register of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

  In step S203, the WDT 314 is periodically (once) so that the count value of the WDT 314 does not exceed the initial set value (32.8 ms in the present embodiment) and a WDT interrupt does not occur (does not detect a processing abnormality). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once about every 2 ms which is the cycle of the main control unit timer interrupt.

  In step S205, an input port state update process is performed. In this input port state update processing, the detection signals of the sensor circuits 320 of the various sensors 318 are input via the input ports of the I / O 310 to monitor the presence or absence of the detection signals, and the detection signals are partitioned in the RAM 308 for each of the various sensors 318. It is stored in the provided signal state storage area. Note that the state of the optical sensor is confirmed in this process.

  In step S207, various game processes are executed, and a process according to the interrupt status is executed.

  In step S209, a timer update process is performed. For example, a process of updating various timers in units of time, such as subtracting a game interval timer, is executed.

  In step S211, a command setting transmission process is performed, and various commands prepared for transmission by the main process of the main control unit 300 or the timer interrupt process are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The output schedule information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits in the present embodiment, and bit 15 is strobe information (when ON, it indicates that data is set), bit 11 14 to 14 are command types (in this embodiment, a basic command, a bet command, a start lever receiving command, an internal winning command, a reel rotation start command accompanying the start of rotation of the reels 110 to 112, and an operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139) , First to third stop commands, first to third stop commands for stopping reels 110 to 112, winning commands, payout number commands and payout completion commands for medal payout processing, status update commands), bits 0 to 0 Reference numeral 10 denotes command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type).

  In the first sub-control unit 400, it is possible to determine the effect control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300, based on the command type included in the received output schedule information, and the command type is included in the output schedule information. The effect control contents can be determined based on the information of the command data.

  In step S213, an external signal setting process is performed. In the external signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 652 separate from the slot machine 100 via the information output circuit 334.

  In step S215, a device monitoring process is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, in step S205, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area are read, and the presence or absence of an error relating to a medal insertion abnormality and a medal payout abnormality is monitored. An error process is executed (for example, an error command is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 in the error process, and an error message as shown in FIGS. 28 to 31 is displayed). Further, the medal selector 170 (a medal blocker in which a solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 336, and various seven-segment (SEG) indicators are set according to the current gaming state.

  In step S217, it is monitored whether the low voltage signal is on. If a low voltage signal has been received (power interruption has been detected), the process proceeds to step S221. If a low voltage signal has not been received (power interruption has not been detected), the process proceeds to step S219. move on.

  In step S219, a timer interrupt end process is performed. In this timer interrupt end processing, processing such as setting the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 to each original register is performed. Thereafter, the process returns to the main control unit main process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, in step S221, information (return data) that needs to be saved, such as a specific variable and a stack pointer, for returning to the state at the time of power failure when power is restored, is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and the used area of the RAM 308 is used. , A checksum value for a predetermined area including at least is stored in the RAM 308, and a power flag indicating that the power interruption processing has been performed is set to ON.

<Process of First Sub-Control Unit 400>
Next, the processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12A is a flowchart of a main process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 12B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 12C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt processing of the first sub control unit 400.

  First, in step S301, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, first, an initialization process is executed in step S301. In this initialization process, initialization of input / output ports, initialization of a storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed. In this processing, an area for storing internal winning information that is information indicating a result of an internal winning and an area for storing RT update information that is information indicating a gaming state are provided in the RAM 408, respectively.

  In step S303, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S305.

  In step S305, 0 is substituted for the timer variable.

  In step S307, a command process which is a process corresponding to each command received from the main control unit 300 is executed. The details of the command processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S309, effect control processing is performed. Here, the effect preparation is performed in accordance with the effect reservation information in the effect reservation area provided in the RAM 408. This preparation includes, for example, performing processing such as reading out the effect data from the ROM 406, and performing update processing of the effect data when the effect data needs to be updated.

  In step S311, sound control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S309. For example, if there is a command to the sound source IC 418 in the effect data read in step S309, the command is output to the sound source IC 418.

  In step S313, a lamp control process is performed based on the processing result of step S309. For example, when there is a command to the various lamps 420 in the effect data read in step S309, the command is output to the drive circuit 422.

  In step S315, a shutter control process is performed based on the processing result of step S309. For example, when the effect data read in step S309 includes a shutter control command, shutter control corresponding to the command is performed.

  In step S317, an information output process for setting to transmit a control command to the second sub-control unit 500 based on the processing result in step S309 is performed. For example, if the effect data read in step S309 includes a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500, the setting for outputting the control command is performed, and the process returns to step S303.

  Next, the command reception interrupt processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300. In step S321 of the command reception interrupt processing, the command output by the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

  Next, the first sub-controller timer interrupt processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-controller 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once every 2 ms in the present embodiment). Execute in the cycle of

  In step S331, 1 is added to the value in the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S303 in the first sub-controller main process shown in FIG. 12A, and the original value is stored in the timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S303, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S333, transmission of device data to the second sub-control unit 500 set in step S315, update processing of the effect random number value, and the like are performed.

  Next, the details of the command processing (step S307) in the first sub-controller main processing of FIG. 12A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the command processing (step S307) in FIG.

  First, in step S341 executed first, it is determined whether or not there is an unprocessed command. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S343; otherwise, this command processing ends.

  In step S343, a command process, which is a process corresponding to each command received from main controller 300, is executed. Of the processing, the processing when the payout completion command is received will be described later with reference to FIG. The processing when the bet command is received will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the details of the payout completion command processing (step S343) when the payout completion command is received in the command processing of FIG. 12D will be described with reference to FIGS. 13A, 14, and 15. FIG. 13A is a flowchart of the payout completion command processing (step S343) when the payout completion command is received in FIG. 12D. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a first display, a second display, and a display example based on notification information. FIG. 15 is used in the second display setting (step S3015) of FIG. 13A. It is a figure which shows the example of the lottery table of a setting suggestion display, and a setting suggestion display.

  First, in step S3001, which is executed first, a state transition variable included in the payout completion command is acquired.

  In step S3003, it is determined with reference to the state transition variable acquired in step S3001 whether RT4 or RT5 has ended (transition from the next game to an RT other than RT4 or RT5). If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3005; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3019.

  In step S3005, information on the number of medals obtained in RT4 or RT5 is obtained. In the present embodiment, the total number of medals acquired continues even at RT1 to which the process shifts after the end of RT5, and when the special combination is internally won at RT1, at RT4 or RT5 to which the process shifts afterward, RT1 is executed. The cumulative value of the acquired number of sheets that has been continued is taken over. This RT1 ends with 30 games, but if it is determined that the game will shift to RT4 or RT5 without shifting to RT0, it is determined to be a so-called consecutive chan and the total number of acquired cards in a period including a plurality of bonus states is displayed. The game is configured to enhance the interest of the game. Note that this accumulated value is reset at the end of RT4 (at the time of transition to RT0), but is not reset until the predetermined number of games has been exhausted from the end of RT4, so that the accumulated number of acquired cards is continued. You may. Also in this case, when the special winning is internally won before the total acquired number is reset, the total acquired number in the period of the consecutive chan is made to be succeeded to RT4 or RT5 to be shifted thereafter. May be displayed.

  In step S3007, it is determined with reference to the state transition variable acquired in step S3001 whether RT4 has been completed. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3009; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3015.

  In step S3009, the information within the bonus is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S3011. The bonus in-time information is information transmitted from the main control unit 300 by a reel rotation start command.

  In step S3011, with reference to the information in the bonus acquired in step S3009, it is determined whether or not the RB that triggered the transition of the RT4 to be ended has been internally won at RT1 (not RT0). If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3015; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3013.

  In step S3013, effect data for executing the first display is set. Specifically, effect data for displaying the number of medals acquired based on the information acquired in step S3005 is set. In the present embodiment, effect data for displaying an image of a character irrelevant to the current set value (which does not suggest the set value) is also set at the same time. FIG. 14A shows an example of the first display when 200 medals are obtained. Further, a background image corresponding to the RT after the next game is prepared. FIG. 14C shows an example of the background image at RT0, and FIG. 14D shows an example of the background image at RT1. When the first display is completed, the prepared background image is displayed. The period during which the first display is executed will be described later. Note that the background image at RT0 corresponds to an example of a normal background that is displayed most frequently.

  In step S3015, effect data for executing the second display is set. Specifically, effect data for displaying the number of medals acquired based on the information acquired in step S3005 is set. In addition, setting suggestion display indicating the current setting value is set by a lottery using a random number. FIG. 15A shows a lottery table used for this lottery. The setting suggestion display includes a display indicating that the set value is odd (FIG. 15B), a display indicating that the set value is even (FIG. 15C), and a display indicating that the set value is even. A display (FIG. 15D) indicating that it is determined that the value is 3 or more, a display (FIG. 15E) indicating that the set value is determined to be 4 to 6, and a setting value Is displayed (FIG. 15 (f)) to indicate that is determined to be 5 or 6.

  The setting suggestion display indicates that if the random number value within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 255) acquired at the time of the lottery corresponds to the range of the lottery data associated with each setting suggestion display, the corresponding setting suggestion display is displayed. Is selected.

  In the present embodiment, when the set value is 1, the probability of selecting Yoshimune (FIG. 15B, the character name in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment) is 180/256 ≒ 70%. The probability that the grandfather (FIG. 15C) is selected is 76/256 ／ 30%.

  When the set value is 2, the probability that Yoshimune (FIG. 15B) is selected is 80/256 ≒ 31%, and the probability that the old man (FIG. 15C) is selected is The probability is 176/256 ≒ 69%.

  When the set value is 3, the probability that Yoshimune (FIG. 15 (b)) is selected is 180/256 ≒ 70%, and the probability that the grandfather (FIG. 15 (c)) is selected is The probability is 25/256 ≒ 10%, and the probability that the princess (FIG. 15D) is selected is 51/256 ≒ 20%.

  When the set value is 4, the probability that Yoshimune (FIG. 15B) is selected is 80/256 ≒ 31%, and the probability that the grandfather (FIG. 15C) is selected is 80/256 ≒ 31%. The probability is 100/256 ≒ 39%, the probability that the princess (FIG. 15 (d)) is selected is 50/256 ≒ 20%, and the Yoshimune and grandfather (FIG. 15 (e)) are selected. The probability is 26/256/10%.

  When the set value is 5, the probability of selecting Yoshimune (FIG. 15 (b)) is 128/256 ≒ 50%, and the probability of selecting grandfather (FIG. 15 (c)) is The probability is 23/256 @ 9%, the probability that the princess (FIG. 15 (d)) is selected is 50/256 @ 20%, and the Yoshimune and grandfather (FIG. 15 (e)) are selected. The probability is 25/256 ≒ 10%, and the probability that Yoshimune and Hime (FIG. 15 (f)) are selected is 30/256 ≒ 12%.

  When the set value is 6, the probability that Yoshimune (FIG. 15 (b)) is selected is 26/256 確 率 10%, and the probability that the grandfather (FIG. 15 (c)) is selected is The probability is 100/256 ≒ 39%, the probability that the princess (FIG. 15 (d)) is selected is 75/256 ≒ 29%, and the Yoshimune and grandfather (FIG. 15 (e)) are selected. The probability is 25/256 ≒ 10%, and the probability that Yoshimune and Hime (FIG. 15 (f)) are selected is 30/256 ≒ 12%.

  Of the above-mentioned setting suggestion displays, the displays of FIGS. 15B and 15C indicate the setting values by changing the frequency of display according to the setting values, but do not necessarily indicate correct contents. . On the other hand, the displays of FIGS. 15 (d), (e), and (f) show information that has been determined with respect to the set values (hereinafter, may be referred to as “determined displays”).

  In determining the content of the setting suggestion display, the content is not limited to the lottery described above. For example, when a transition is made to RT5 based on the cherry + BB1 that is internally won only in the setting 4 to the setting 6, FIG. 15E is selected as the setting suggestion display, or the cherry internally won only in the setting 6 When the process shifts to RT5 based on + BB3, the process shifts to RT5 based on a special role that is internally won only at a specific set value, such as selecting FIG. 15 (f) as a setting suggestion display. In such a case, when the RT5 is completed, a confirmation display (for example, FIGS. 15D, 15E, and 15F) for the set value may be selected as the setting suggestion display.

  FIG. 14B shows an example of the second display when 200 medals are obtained. In this example, since the princess (FIG. 15D) is displayed, the player can know that the set value is 3 or more. In step S3015, as in step S3013, background images (for example, FIGS. 14C and 14D) corresponding to the RT after the next game are prepared. When the second display ends, the prepared background image is displayed. The period during which the second display is executed will be described later.

  In step S3017, display setting of notification information is performed. Specifically, information that is information for the player and that is unrelated to the advantage or disadvantage of the state of the game is displayed. For example, a display that calls attention to a game, a display related to a maker of a game console, a display related to a hall such as an event or a hall name, and a display for preventing an IC card from being forgotten when an IC card is used. is there. Note that this display is set so as to be erased after a certain time has elapsed from the display regardless of the progress of the game (a certain time is always displayed). Therefore, in any of the first display, the second display, and the background image described above, the notification information can be displayed in parallel. In FIGS. 14E to 14H, a message as an example of the notification information, which indicates that the user has forgotten to remove the IC card, is displayed in parallel with the respective displays described with reference to FIGS. 14A to 14D. An example is shown.

  In step S3019, in addition to the above-described processing, processing at the time of receiving the payout completion command is executed, and the payout completion command processing ends.

  Next, the details of the bet command processing (step S343) when a bet command is received in the command processing of FIG. 12 (d) will be described using FIG. 13 (b). FIG. 13B is a flowchart of the bet command processing (step S343) when the bet command is received in FIG. 12D.

  First, in step S3101 executed first, it is determined whether or not RT4 or RT5 using the state transition variable acquired at the time of receiving the payout completion command. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3107; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3103.

  In step S3103, it is determined whether or not a continuous effect over a plurality of games is being executed. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3107; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3105.

  In step S3105, a default background provided according to the state of the game is set.

  In step S3107, in addition to the above-described processing, processing at the time of receiving the bet command is executed, and the bet command processing ends.

<Process of Second Sub-Control Unit 500>
Next, the processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16A is a flowchart of a main process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 16B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 16C is a flowchart of the timer interruption process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 16D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in step S401 in FIG. 16A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, first, an initialization process is executed in step S401. In this initialization process, input / output port initialization, initialization of a storage area in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

  In step S403, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S405.

  In step S405, 0 is substituted for the timer variable.

  In step S407, command processing is performed. In the command processing, the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S409, an effect control process is performed. Specifically, when there is a new command in step S407, processing corresponding to this command is performed. For example, a process of reading effect data for performing image control on a background image from the ROM 506 is executed. In addition, it also includes a process of reading other effect data from the ROM 506, and performing an effect data update process when the effect data needs to be updated.

  In step S411, an image control process is performed based on the processing result of step S409. For example, if there is an image control command in the effect data read in step S409, image control corresponding to this command is performed. For example, image control relating to a display image (notification image, background image) is executed. This image control processing will be described later with reference to FIG. When this image control process ends, the process returns to the step S403.

  Next, the command reception interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub-control unit 500 detects a strobe signal output from the first sub-control unit 400. In step S415 of the command reception interrupt processing, the command output by the first sub control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

  Next, the second sub-controller timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-controller 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once every 2 ms in the present embodiment). Execute in the cycle of

  In step S417, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S403 in the second sub-controller main processing shown in FIG. 16A, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S403, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S419, processing for updating the effect random number is performed.

  Next, the image control process of step S411 in the main process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of the image control process.

  In step S421, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the display areas A and B in the VRAM 518. Thereby, one frame image stored in the display area not specified as the drawing area is displayed on the effect image display device 157. Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (the transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (the transfer destination address of the VRAM 518), and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 516 based on the position information table and the like. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 516 transfers image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518 based on a command set in the attribute register. After that, the VDP 516 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

  In step S423, it is determined whether or not the transfer end interrupt signal from VDP 516 has been input. If the transfer end interrupt signal has been input, the process proceeds to step S425; otherwise, the transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for it.

  In step S425, parameters are set based on the rendering scenario configuration table and the attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 518 on the basis of the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S421, the CPU 504 stores information on image data constituting the display image (the coordinate axes and the image size of the VRAM 518). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates), superimposition and transparency of images, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 516. The VDP 516 sets parameters according to the attribute based on a command stored in the attribute register.

  In step S427, a drawing instruction is issued. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 516 to start drawing an image. The VDP 516 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 504.

  In step S429, it is determined whether a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 based on the drawing end of the image has been input. If the generation end interrupt signal has been input, the process proceeds to step S431; otherwise, the generation end interrupt signal has been input. Wait for is entered.

  In step S431, a scene display counter that is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

<< Operation explanation of the first embodiment >>
In the slot machine 100 of the first embodiment described above, RT4 and RT5 are provided as so-called bonus states, and at the end of these bonus states, one of the first display and the second display is displayed. The configuration is adopted. Hereinafter, characteristic operations by these configurations will be described.

[When the first display is executed (first embodiment)]
The first display described above shifts to RT4 due to the internal winning of the RB at RT0, and is then displayed when this RT4 ends. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

  First, when the RB is internally won at RT0, information indicating that the RB was internally won at RT0 is stored in the bonus in-time information (step S1005 in FIG. 10A). Note that this information is held until RT4 is once completed.

  When an RB is internally won, no other special roles are internally won until the RB is won. That is, the process shifts to RT4 based on the internally won RB (see FIG. 7).

  Thereafter, when a payout exceeding the specified number is made in RT4, a process of shifting from RT4 to RT0 at the end of the game is executed (step S1101 in FIG. 10B). In this process, information on the transition from RT4 to RT0 is stored in the state transition variable. A freeze for one second is executed based on this information and the above-described bonus in-time information (step S1211 in FIG. 10C).

  On the other hand, to the first sub-control unit 400, the above-described state transition variable and information within the bonus are transmitted from the main control unit 300, and the first display is executed in accordance with the above-mentioned one-second freeze. (Step S3013 in FIG. 13A). Further, apart from the first display, notification information which is information for the player and which is not related to the advantage or disadvantage of the state of the game is displayed (step S3017 in FIG. 13A). After the freeze is over, a game operation becomes possible, and a bet operation for the next game becomes possible. At the time of this betting operation, if the first display is still ongoing, the first display is terminated and a background to be used after the end of RT4 (background of RT0) is set (FIG. 13B). Step S3105). However, the notification information is displayed until the set period elapses without ending by the betting operation.

  Hereinafter, an example of the operation when RT4 is internally won in RT0, and RT4 afterwards is completed will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 17 shows a change that occurs in the order of payout end (P1), freeze end (P2), notification information display end (P3), and first display end (P4) from the payout state in the final game of RT4 in the final game. It is shown.

  First, during the payout (from the beginning to P1), the freeze timer is not used, but the operation of the game is invalid during that time. Also, none of the first display, the notification information, and the background to be used after the end of RT4 (the background of RT0) are displayed.

  When the payout is completed (after P1), the operation is invalidated for one second using the freeze timer according to the flow described above, and the first display and the notification information are displayed (from P1 to P2). In the example of FIG. 17, the first display and the notification information are displayed as they are even after the freeze is completed (P2 and thereafter).

  Further, in the example of FIG. 17, the display of the notification information ends earlier than the first display, and when the first display ends thereafter, the background to be used after the end of RT4 (the background of RT0) is displayed. Is adopted. In FIG. 17, during the period from the start of the freeze to the end of the notification information, a first display including an image of Yoshimune (an image indicating that there is no setting value suggestion) and “GET 112 both” and “IC card removal” Notice! "Is displayed (see period a). Further, it is shown that only the first display is performed when the notification information ends (see period b), and that a background image is displayed at the end of the first display (see period c). Note that if the bet operation is performed after the freeze is completed and the display of the first display and the notification information is continued (from P2 to P3), the first display ends at the timing B1 of the bet operation. The dotted line indicates that the background is displayed. In this case, the notification information is displayed on the background to be used after the end of RT4 (the background of RT0) by the bet operation, and only the background is displayed after the display period of the notification information elapses.

[When the second display is executed (first embodiment)]
The second display described above is displayed when the first display does not satisfy the condition for selection. Specifically, it is displayed when RT5 ends, or when RT4 shifted due to the internal winning of the RB at RT1 ends. Hereinafter, description will be given based on the flowchart.

  First, when BB1 to BB4 are internally won, or when RB is internally won at RT1, such information is stored in bonus information at that time (step S1005 in FIG. 10A). Note that this information is held until RT5 or RT4, which has been transferred after winning the special combination, ends.

  If a special role is internally won, no other special roles will be internally won until the special role is won. That is, based on the special role that has been internally won, the process shifts to RT4 or RT5 (see FIG. 7).

  Thereafter, when payout exceeding the prescribed number is made in the shifted RT4 or RT5, a process of shifting to RT0 in the case of RT4 and to RT1 in the case of RT5 at the end of the game is executed (FIG. 10 (b) ) Step S1101). In this process, RT transition information is stored in a state transition variable. Based on this information and the above-mentioned bonus in-time information, a freeze for 4 seconds is executed (step S1213 in FIG. 10C).

  On the other hand, to the first sub-control unit 400, the above-described state transition variable and the information within the bonus are transmitted from the main control unit 300, and the second display is executed in accordance with the above-mentioned freeze for 4 seconds. (Step S3015 in FIG. 13A). Further, in addition to the second display, notification information which is information for the player and which is not related to the advantage or disadvantage of the state of the game is displayed (step S3017 in FIG. 13A). After the freeze is over, a game operation becomes possible, and a bet operation for the next game becomes possible. At the time of this betting operation, if the second display is still continuing, the second display is terminated, and the background to be used for the RT to be newly shifted is set (FIG. 13B). Step S3105). However, the notification information is displayed without ending, until the set period elapses.

  Hereinafter, an example of operation when RT4, which has been internally won by RB in RT1 and then moves to RT4, ends will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the operation at the time of ending RT5 is the same operation, and the description is omitted.

  FIG. 18 shows a change from a payout state in the final game of RT4 to a payout end (P1), a freeze end (P5), a notification information display end (P3), and a second display end (P4). ing. Also, the freeze end timing (P2) and the bet operation timing (B1) in FIG. 17 are shown for comparison. Further, the end timing (P4) of the second display is the same end timing (P4) as the first display in FIG.

  First, during the payout (from the beginning to P1), the freeze timer is not used, but the operation of the game is invalid during that time. Also, none of the second display, the notification information, and the background to be used after the end of RT4 (background of RT0) are displayed.

  When the payout is completed (after P1), the operation is invalidated for 4 seconds using the freeze timer according to the flow described above, and the second display and the notification information are displayed (P1 to P5). The example of FIG. 18 employs a configuration in which the second display and the notification information are displayed as they are even after the freeze is completed (P5 and thereafter).

  Further, in the example of FIG. 18, the display of the notification information ends earlier than the second display, and thereafter, when the second display ends, the background to be used after the end of RT4 (the background of RT0, the case of RT5 end) (The background of RT1) is displayed. In FIG. 18, during the period from the start of the freeze to the end of the notification information, a second display including an image of a princess (an image indicating a set value of 3 or more) and “GET 250 cars” and “Forgot to remove the IC card” are displayed. Notice! "Is displayed (see period a). In addition, it is shown that only the second display is performed when the notification information ends (see period b), and that the background image is displayed when the second display ends (see period c). Note that when the bet operation is performed at the timing B1 described in FIG. 17, the freeze is being executed in the example of FIG. 18, and thus there is no influence on the end timing of the second display or the start timing of the background display.

[Configuration of First Display and Second Display (First Embodiment)]
In the configuration of the above-described first embodiment, at the end of the bonus state (RT4 and RT5), the first display and the second display that displays more information about the game than the first display (the above example) In this case, a setting suggestion display is added). Such information about a game is important in playing a game and is of interest to a player. In executing these displays, a configuration is employed in which the first display is executed during a short freeze and the second display is executed during a long freeze. According to this configuration, for example, in FIG. 17, the first display is ended by the bet operation at the timing B1, whereas in FIG. 18, the second display is maintained even when the bet operation is performed at the same timing B1. You. In this way, a longer freeze allows the second display to be reliably displayed for a longer time than the first display, thereby making it easier for the player to grasp the information provided by the second display that interests the player. Can improve the interest of the game. In order to make the freeze at the time of the second display longer than the freeze at the time of the first display, the freeze may be realized by, for example, the length of a freeze timer, or the freeze may be continuously performed. May cause a difference in freeze time, and the configuration is not limited. For example, in a configuration in which a freeze for a predetermined period is always executed at the end of the bonus state, the first display is adjusted to the freeze for the predetermined period, while the second display is executed for the predetermined period. In addition to the above freeze, a freeze may be separately executed.

  It should be noted that the game information is not limited to the suggestion of the set value as described above. For example, when the transition probability to so-called AT (assist time) or RT (replay time) changes, the transition probability is changed. As in the suggestion, information on the degree of advantage regarding the game may be used. The mode of the suggestion at this time may be, for example, an image using, for example, displaying a character that does not normally appear, but is not limited thereto. In addition to such information on the degree of advantage, the number of medals acquired in advantageous gaming states such as the number of jackpots (bonus state), the number of consecutive chan, bonuses, and the like, the total number of medals acquired in a plurality of bonus states, and the like. It may display information. Information such as the number of jackpots, the number of consecutive chan, the number of medals acquired during the bonus, and the total number of medals acquired is information on the bonus state and corresponds to an example of history information based on the play history of the game. In the configuration in which the AT and the RT are provided, the history information on the AT and the RT (the number of ATs and RTs, the number of consecutive chan- nels of AT and RT, the number of medals obtained during AT and RT, Acquired number) may be used. That is, the information relating to the game may be any information that is useful for the player playing the game, such as information such as advantage information and history information. Note that the first embodiment is an example of a configuration in which there is information on these games, which is included only in the second display (not included in the first display).

  In the first embodiment, the notification information, which is information for the player and is not related to the advantage or disadvantage of the state of the game, is displayed in parallel with the first display and the second display. For information irrelevant to advantages and disadvantages, the player may not be very interested, but in the first embodiment, the information is displayed in parallel with the first display and the second display that the player is interested in. In some cases, notification information can be recognized. Also, while the first display and the second display are not displayed in parallel with the notification information, the configuration in which the first display and the second display are displayed in parallel with the notification information has more types. Since the information is displayed, the attention of the player can be enhanced, and as a result, the first display and the second display can be noticed in some cases. In order to obtain the effect of making it easier to grasp the information by the second display, a configuration in which this notification information is not displayed may be adopted.

  Note that, in the above example, the configuration in which the freeze time when executing the second display is longer than the freeze when executing the first display has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration in which the freeze time is shortened, and may be a configuration in which the freeze is not performed at the time of the first display.

  Further, in the first embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the first display is terminated by the operation of the player during a predetermined time after the end of the freeze, or until the predetermined time elapses after the end of the freeze, The present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the first display may be continued until the player performs an operation after the freeze ends.

  Further, the second display after the end of the freeze is not limited to the configuration in which the display is ended after a lapse of time as in the first embodiment. May be terminated. In FIG. 19, the second display end timing (P4) shown in FIG. 18 is deleted, and the second display ends at the timing B2 of the bet operation in which the second display is continued, and the next game is ended. It is shown that the display is switched to the background display. When the configuration as in this example is adopted, the second display can be continued as long as the player does not perform an operation, and the information by the second display can be more easily grasped and the interest of the game can be improved. May be possible.

  Further, the second display may be ended at the same time as the end of the freeze. FIG. 20 shows that the second display end timing (P4) shown in FIG. 18 coincides with the freeze end timing (P5). In this example, the display of the background for RT which is newly shifted to after the freeze ends is started. At this time, since the display of the notification information is continued, the notification information is displayed on the background. (See period b). Prolonging the freeze time of the second display may make it easier to recognize the second display, but may make it difficult to grasp when the freeze ends. However, by ending the second display at the same time as the end of the freeze as in the example of FIG. 20, it is possible to easily recognize that the freeze has ended.

  In the example described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 20 described above, the configuration in which the end timing of the first display and the second display is later than the end timing of the display of the notification information has been described. The configuration may be such that the end timing of the first display and the second display is earlier. Further, the end timing of the first display and the display of the notification information is not limited to the configuration in which these end timings are different, and the end timing of the display of the second display and the display of the notification information may be the same. It may be the same (P3 = P4, and the period b disappears). When the end timing of the first display and the second display and the end timing of the display of the notification information are configured to be different from each other as in the first embodiment, a change due to the end of these displays is used. The player can be alerted.

[Conditions for properly using first display and second display (first embodiment)]
In the first embodiment, at the end of RT4, if the RB that triggered the transition to RT4 has been internally won at RT0, the first display is selected, and the internal win is made at RT1, which is more advantageous than RT0. In this case, the second display is selected. This configuration can be said to be a configuration in which the first display and the second display are selectively used depending on which of RT0 and RT1 has been set most recently in the RT transition until shifting to RT4. As described above, the first display and the second display may be selectively used based on the transition of the game state.

  The above-described determination conditions for selectively using the first display and the second display are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the second display is selected when the bonus state is once terminated and the disadvantage state is reached, and then the second display is selected in the case of a so-called consecutive chan to be in the bonus state again. The display may be selected. In the configuration of the first embodiment, it is determined which of RT0 and RT1 has been set most recently in the RT transition until shifting to RT4. Of these, RT1 is set 30 times after the end of RT5. It can be said that it is configured to determine whether or not the game has shifted to RT4 based on the internally won RB in the game within 30 times from the end of RT5. In other words, it can be said that this configuration is an example of a configuration in which consecutive chan is determined based on the number of games played before the transition from RT5 to RT4. In this manner, in determining the consecutive chan, the number of games from the end of RT4 or RT5 to the transition to a new RT4 (or the internal winning for the transition role) exceeds a predetermined number of times. A configuration for determination may be employed.

  Further, for example, various conditions can be used for the determination, such as selectively using the first display and the second display based on the acquired number at the end of the same game state.

  In the first embodiment, the first display and the second display are selectively used in the RT4, while the second display is executed at the end of the RT5. The display at the end of the RT5 is not limited to this configuration, and may be, for example, the first display or another display. Also, a configuration may be adopted in which the first display and the second display are selectively used even at the end of RT5 as in the example described above. That is, it is sufficient that there is a configuration in which the first display and the second display are selectively used at least at the end of the same game state.

  Further, for example, in the first embodiment, the first display is selected at the end of RT4, and the second display is selected at the end of RT5, which is more advantageous than RT4. A configuration may be adopted in which one display is selected and the second display is selected at the end of the second gaming state which is more advantageous than the first gaming state. That is, at the end of a plurality of types of gaming states, the first display and the second display may be selectively used based on the advantages and disadvantages of these gaming states. Further, the first display and the second display are performed based on a combination of the advantages and disadvantages of the game state and the various conditions described above (for example, RT transition to the bonus state, whether or not a continuous chunk, the number of acquired sheets). The display may be selectively used.

  Further, for example, in the first embodiment, a lottery is executed at the end of RT4, and based on the result, a selection is made as to whether to execute the first display and the one-second freeze or to execute the second display and the four-second freeze. You may make it. At this time, even at the end of RT5, a similar lottery may be executed to select whether to execute the first display and the 1-second freeze, or to execute the second display and the 4-second freeze. That is, in selecting the first display and the second display, the present invention is not limited to the configuration in which specific condition determination is performed, but may be a configuration in which a lottery is performed.

  Further, in the above example, the end of the bonus state based on the special combination is employed as a trigger for displaying either the first display or the second display. The start timing of these displays is not limited to the bonus state. For example, at the end of so-called AT (assist time) or at the end of RT (replay time), furthermore, the winning probability of these ATs and RTs May be at the end of the state of rising. When the first display or the second display is displayed at the end of the AT or RT, the history information on the AT or RT (the number of AT or RT, the number of consecutive channels of AT or RT, the The number of obtained medals, the total number of obtained medals in AT or RT, etc.) may be used.

  Also, for example, in a gaming table employing an advantageous section in which an operation instruction can be executed, the second display is used when the limit of the advantageous section is reached (for example, the upper limit of the number of games or the cumulative upper limit of net medals). However, the first display may be used when the limit is not reached (for example, when the operation instruction is completed or when the game state is shifted (finished)).

[Contents of First Display and Second Display (First Embodiment)]
Hereinafter, the contents of the first display and the second display will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of a combination of the first display and the second display, and FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example different from FIG.

  In the first embodiment described above, while the acquired number is displayed in both the first display and the second display, the first display does not suggest a set value, and the second display does not indicate the set value. There is a difference in the amount of information related to the game. In this configuration, the second display includes information (setting value information) that is more advantageous to the player than the first display, and the second display includes information related to the game than the first display. , Which makes the second display more interesting to the player than the first display. In the first embodiment, since the acquired number in the second display is configured to display the total acquired number during the period in which the bonus state is consecutively changed, the acquired number in the first display is displayed. The acquired number in the second display is larger than that in the second display. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the number of acquired images in the second display may be smaller than the number of acquired images in the first display. In addition, the one with no setting suggestion and the one with setting suggestion may be used as a first display (for example, FIG. 21A1) and a second display (for example, FIG. 21A2). FIG. 21 (a1) shows an example in which the display of the acquired number and the character of Yoshimune who do not suggest the set value are displayed, and FIG. 21 (a2) shows the display of the acquired number and the set value. An example is shown in which a princess character indicating that the number is three or more is displayed. Even with such a configuration, since the second display includes more information about the game than the first display, the second display is made more interesting for the player than the first display. be able to.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the configuration in which the first display does not include the setting suggestion display is adopted. However, the configuration is not limited to this configuration, and the configuration may include the setting suggestion display. For example, by using a lottery table different from the lottery table (FIG. 15A) used in setting the second display, the first display may include the setting suggestion display. In this case, the lottery table used for setting the first display may have a lower probability of the lottery of the confirmed display (FIGS. 15D to 15F) than the second display, or may be configured not to perform the lottery. Good. FIGS. 21 (b1) and 21 (b2) show an example of a combination of the first display and the second display when this configuration is adopted. In the first display shown in FIG. 21 (b1), the display of the acquired number and the setting suggestion display indicating that one of the set values 4 to 6 has been confirmed are shown. In the second display shown in (), a display of the acquired number and a setting suggestion display indicating that one of the setting values 5 and 6 has been determined are shown. In these displays, the setting suggestion display of the second display suggests a setting value more advantageous to the player than the setting suggestion display of the first display, and the second display indicates the first display. It can be said that the display includes information more advantageous to the player than the display. Further, while the setting suggestion display of the second display includes information that the setting value is not 4, the setting suggestion display of the first display does not include this information. It can be said that there is more information about the game than one display. In addition, since the setting suggestion display of the second display has a narrower range of setting values of the suggestion target than the setting suggestion display of the first display, the second display is higher than the first display. It can also be said that the display includes information with high reliability.

  Note that the above configuration is merely an example, and the second display is more advantageous to the player than the first display in making the second display more interesting than the first display. Display, or at least one of a display having a larger amount of information than the first display, and furthermore, the second display is a display having higher reliability than the first display. May be included. For example, a first display or a second display such as a display such as "NEXT to RUSH", a display suggesting entry into AT or ART, a display suggesting a mode set internally, or the like. May be included in the first display or the second display. In this case, the first display or the second display is a display including information on a state set thereafter. The type of information included in the first display or the second display can be arbitrarily adopted.

  In setting the second display including information more advantageous to the player than the first display, for example, the second display is changed to a display including information more advantageous to the player than the first display. A configuration can be employed.

  In the first embodiment, the second display has a configuration in which the amount of information about the set value is larger than that of the first display. At this time, the target information is the information about the set value. The information is not limited, and may be any information relating to the game, such as information on the degree of advantage or history information. For example, in a configuration in which a so-called AT or RT is provided, a configuration may be employed in which a difference is provided in the information amount regarding the ease of transition to these states.

  As described above, the second display is set to a content (high reliability, high advantage, and large amount of information) that the player is more interested in than the first display, and the second display is displayed. By showing the information longer than the first display, information can be grasped and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In the above description, as information that the player is particularly interested in, for example, information on the degree of advantage such as information indicating a set value, the number of acquired sheets in the bonus state or the AT state, and the cumulative total of so-called consecutive chan in which these states are continuous Although the history information of the acquired number has been described, these pieces of information are important information for estimating whether or not the player can obtain a profit. In addition to the above-described configuration, by providing a difference between the contents of the information in the first display and the second display, the second display may be more interesting for the player than the first display. can do. Hereinafter, these configurations will be described.

  First, an example in which the first display and the second display have different setting value suggestions (setting suggestion display) will be described. For example, among the setting suggestion displays, the final display (display of FIGS. 15 (d), (e), and (f)) indicating the information that has been finalized with respect to the set value is included in the second display, while the first display shows this display. You may comprise so that a fixed display may not be included. In the fixed display, since the set value can be more accurately grasped, by using this for the second display, the interest of the game can be improved. FIG. 21 (c1) and FIG. 21 (c2) show an example of a combination of the first display and the second display when this configuration is adopted. In each of these examples, the display of the acquired number, the setting suggestion display, and the display of the total acquired number in the consecutive chan using the format of “TOTAL... Both” are included. When only the setting suggestion display is compared, the first display shown in FIG. 21 (c1) is a setting suggestion display suggesting that the set value is an even number, whereas the first display shown in FIG. The second display is a setting suggestion display indicating that the set value is determined to be 3 or more. Although the total number of acquired images in the first display is larger than that in the second display, in a configuration in which the contents of the setting suggestion display in the first display and the second display are different, the number of acquired images and the total The value of the number of sheets need not necessarily be larger in the second display. Further, the first display may display the total number of acquired images, while the second display may not display the total number of acquired images (for example, FIG. 21 (c1) is a first display, and FIG. (A2) or (b2) as the second display). Further, for example, the first display includes the setting suggestion display of FIGS. 15B to 15E, and the second display includes the setting suggestion display of FIG. 15F. It may be configured to include a setting suggestion display that is more advantageous for the player than the first display.

  Next, an example in which the acquired number is different between the first display and the second display will be described. Depending on the gaming console, the state of the gaming console, such as a difference in the set value, may be estimated depending on whether the number of acquired pieces exceeds a certain number (whether or not many profits are obtained). By configuring so that the acquired number in the second display is displayed more than the acquired number, the interest of the game can be improved. This configuration can be said to be a configuration including information indicating that a more advantageous result has been obtained in the second display. FIGS. 22 (a1) and 22 (a2) show an example of a combination of the first display and the second display in a case where this configuration is employed. It is shown that the number is larger than the number obtained in one display. In order to realize this configuration, for example, in the first embodiment, the first display is performed together with the freeze for one second at the end of RT4, and the second display is performed together with the freeze for four seconds at the end of RT5. If the acquired number does not exceed 300 at the end of RT5, the first display is performed together with the freeze for one second, and if the acquired number exceeds 300 at the end of RT5, the second display is performed together with the freeze for four seconds. Is displayed. As in these examples, in a situation where the number of obtained medals is different at the end of the game state (see the remarks column of BB1 to BB4 and RB in FIG. 6), the first display and the second display are set to freeze. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure used separately.

  Next, an example will be described in which the first display and the second display have different total acquired numbers. Depending on the gaming console, the state of the gaming console, such as a difference in set values, may be estimated depending on whether the cumulative number of cards obtained exceeds a certain number (whether or not many profits are obtained). By configuring so that the total acquired number in the second display is displayed more than the total acquired number in, the interest of the game can be improved. This configuration can be said to be a configuration including information indicating that a more advantageous result has been obtained in the second display. FIG. 22 (b1) and FIG. 22 (b2) show an example of a combination of the first display and the second display when this configuration is adopted. In the second display, 1000 or more sheets are displayed. While the total acquired number is displayed, the first display indicates that the total acquired number of less than 1000 is displayed. In this example, in each of the first display and the second display, the acquired number and the setting suggestion display are included, but the second display is not displayed except for the total acquired number. Is also good. Even with such a configuration, the contents of the first display and the second display can be made different, and the interest of the game can be improved. In the first embodiment, a configuration is used in which the so-called cumulative number of consecutive chan is obtained (step S3005 in FIG. 13). And the first display or the second display is selected, and the main control unit 300 also derives the total number of acquired sheets, and determines the time of freeze according to the value of the total acquired number of sheets. What is necessary is just to comprise so that it may be selected.

  Further, for example, by configuring the first display not to display the total number of acquired coins, while displaying the total number of acquired coins in the second display, it is possible to improve the interest of the game. . FIG. 22 (c1) and FIG. 22 (c2) show an example of a combination of the first display and the second display when this configuration is adopted. It is shown that it is displayed. In this example, a setting suggestion display is included in both the first display and the second display, but a configuration not including the setting suggestion display in the second display may be employed. Even with such a configuration, the contents of the first display and the second display can be made different, and the interest of the game can be improved. In the first embodiment, the so-called cumulative number of consecutive chan is included in the second display (step S3005 in FIG. 13). However, the number of acquired RT4 alone is separately derived, and this value is calculated. You may comprise so that it may be displayed on a 2nd display with a total acquisition number.

  Further, the first display and the second display may be a display combining information of the types described above. For example, the second display may have a larger amount of information compared to the first display, and may display advantageous information, or the second display may have a greater amount of information than the first display. May display at least advantageous information, or conversely, may display disadvantageous information having a large amount of information. Further, in the above description, the configuration in which the content of the first display and the content of the second display are divided by the setting suggestion display, the number of acquired images, or the like is described. However, these configurations may be combined, for example, the second display In FIG. 15, the case where the setting suggestion display of FIG. 15F is included and the case where the display with the acquired number of 300 or more are included may be mixed.

[Summary of First Embodiment]
As described above, with respect to the first display and the second display for displaying information related to the game, after providing a difference in the amount and content of the information, and by making these display times different, the information related to the game can be recognized. Can improve the interest of the game. In the first embodiment, the first display and the second display are configured to execute a long freeze so that the second display with more information is more easily recognized. May be configured to execute a short freeze on the display of. In the case of this configuration, it is possible to increase the concentration in a situation where the second display can be executed, and add sharpness to the game.

  According to the configuration described above, the first display and the second display are provided as displays including information on the game, and then freezes of different lengths corresponding to these display periods are executed. In some cases, the interest of the game can be improved, for example, to make it easier to recognize information related to the game, or to add sharpness to the game. In addition, it is preferable to adopt a configuration in which a long freeze is executed for the second display including more (or more advantageous) information in that the information about the game can be more recognized.

<< second embodiment >>
In the first embodiment described so far, the first display and the second display are provided as the displays including the information on the game, and then the freezes of different lengths are executed when these displays are executed. The configuration to be performed has been described. In this configuration, a freeze is used to secure a period during which the first display and the second display are displayed (prevent display from being terminated by an operation). However, the cancellation of the display by the operation of the player does not always occur. Therefore, for example, in the present embodiment, the display time of the second display may be set to be longer than the display time of the first display. In this case, the freeze time may be different as in the present embodiment, or a predetermined value may be frozen without performing the series of processes in steps S1205 to S1213 of FIG. 10B. The freeze time may be the same, such as setting a timer. Further, the freeze processing of FIG. 10B (step S1103) and the freeze processing of FIG. 10C may be deleted. Hereinafter, a configuration in which the freeze processing of FIGS. 10B and 10C is deleted will be referred to as a second embodiment, and the operation thereof will be described with reference to the drawings.

[When the first display is executed (second embodiment)]
The first display described above shifts to RT4 due to the internal winning of the RB at RT0, and is then displayed when this RT4 ends. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

  First, when the RB is internally won at RT0, information indicating that the RB was internally won at RT0 is stored in the bonus in-time information (step S1005 in FIG. 10A). Note that this information is held until RT4 is once completed.

  When an RB is internally won, no other special roles are internally won until the RB is won. That is, the process shifts to RT4 based on the internally won RB (see FIG. 7).

  Thereafter, when a payout exceeding the specified number is made in RT4, a process of shifting from RT4 to RT0 at the end of the game is executed (step S1101 in FIG. 10B). In this process, information on the transition from RT4 to RT0 is stored in the state transition variable.

  The first sub-control unit 400 receives the above-described state transition variable and bonus in-time information from the main control unit 300, and executes the first display based on the information (FIG. 13A ) Step S3013). Further, apart from the first display, notification information which is information for the player and which is not related to the advantage or disadvantage of the state of the game is displayed (step S3017 in FIG. 13A). If the first display is still in progress when the betting operation for the next game is performed, the first display is terminated and the background to be used after the end of RT4 (background of RT0) is set. (Step S3105 in FIG. 13B). However, the notification information is displayed until the set period elapses without ending by the betting operation.

  Hereinafter, an example of the operation when RT4 is internally won in RT0, and RT4 afterwards is completed will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 23 shows a change that occurs in the order of payout end (P6), notification information display end (P7), and first display end (P8) from the state of payout in the final game of RT4.

  First, during the payout (from the beginning to P6), none of the first display, notification information, and the background to be used after the end of RT4 (the background of RT0) are displayed.

  When the payout is completed, the first display and the notification information are displayed according to the flow described above (P6 and thereafter). The display of the notification information ends earlier than the first display (P7), and when the first display ends thereafter (P8), the background to be used after RT4 ends (the background of RT0) is displayed. Is adopted. In FIG. 23, during the period from the end of the payout to the end of the notification information, a first display including an image of Yoshimune (an image indicating that there is no setting value suggestion) and “GET 112 both” and “IC card removal” Notice! "Is displayed (see period a). Further, it is shown that only the first display is performed when the notification information ends (see period b), and that a background image is displayed at the end of the first display (see period c). If a bet operation is performed during the continuation of the first display and the display of the notification information (from P6 to P7), the first display ends at the timing B3 of the bet operation and the background is displayed. Is indicated by a dotted line. In this case, the notification information is displayed on the background to be used after the end of RT4 (the background of RT0) by the bet operation, and only the background is displayed after the display period of the notification information elapses.

[When the second display is executed (second embodiment)]
The second display described above is displayed when the first display does not satisfy the condition for selection. Specifically, it is displayed when RT5 ends, or when RT4 shifted due to the internal winning of the RB at RT1 ends. Hereinafter, description will be given based on the flowchart.

  First, when BB1 to BB4 are internally won, or when RB is internally won at RT1, such information is stored in bonus information at that time (step S1005 in FIG. 10A). Note that this information is held until RT5 or RT4, which has been transferred after winning the special combination, ends.

  If a special role is internally won, no other special roles will be internally won until the special role is won. That is, based on the special role that has been internally won, the process shifts to RT4 or RT5 (see FIG. 7).

  Thereafter, when payout exceeding the prescribed number is made in the shifted RT4 or RT5, a process of shifting to RT0 in the case of RT4 and to RT1 in the case of RT5 at the end of the game is executed (FIG. 10 (b) ) Step S1101). In this process, RT transition information is stored in a state transition variable.

  The first sub-control unit 400 receives the above-described state transition variable and bonus in-time information from the main control unit 300, and performs the second display based on the information (FIG. 13A ) Step S3015). Further, in addition to the second display, notification information which is information for the player and which is not related to the advantage or disadvantage of the state of the game is displayed (step S3017 in FIG. 13A). If the second display is still ongoing when the betting operation for the next game is performed, the second display is terminated and the background to be used for the RT to be newly shifted is set. (Step S3105 in FIG. 13B). However, the notification information is displayed without ending, until the set period elapses.

  Hereinafter, an example of operation when RT4, which has been internally won by RB in RT1 and then moves to RT4, ends will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the operation at the time of ending RT5 is the same operation, and the description is omitted.

  FIG. 24 shows a change which occurs in the order of payout end (P6) and notification information display end (P7) from the state of payout in the final game of RT4. Also, the end timing (P8) of the first display in FIG. 17 is shown for comparison.

  First, during the payout (from the beginning to P6), neither the second display, the notification information, nor the background to be used after the end of RT4 (the background of RT0) is displayed.

  When the payout is completed, the second display and the notification information are displayed according to the flow described above (P6 and thereafter). The display of the notification information ends at the same timing (P7) as that described with reference to FIG. 23, whereas the second display does not have a time-based end. Therefore, the second display is continued until the player performs an operation. In this example, the bet operation is performed at the timing (B4) after the display of the notification information is completed, the second display is completed, and the background to be used after the end of RT4 (the background of RT0, and the background of RT1 in the case of RT5 end). Background) is displayed. In FIG. 24, during the period from the end of the payout to the end of the notification information, a second display including an image of a princess (an image suggesting a set value of 3 or more) and “GET 250 cars” and “Forgot to remove the IC card” are displayed. Notice! "Is displayed (see period a). In addition, it is shown that only the second display is performed when the notification information ends (see period b), and that the background image is displayed when the second display ends (see period c). When the bet operation is performed while the display of the notification information is continued, similarly to the case where the bet operation is performed at the timing B1 described with reference to FIG. 23, the background to be used after the end of RT4 (the background of RT0). Is displayed, and after the display period of the notification information has elapsed, only the background is displayed.

[Configuration of First Display and Second Display (Second Embodiment)]
In the configuration of the second embodiment described above, at the end of the bonus state (RT4 and RT5), the first display and the second display that displays more information about the game than the first display (the above example) In this case, a setting suggestion display is added). Such information about a game is important in playing a game and is of interest to a player. In performing these displays, an upper limit is set for the display time of the first display, while the second display is configured to be able to display for a longer time than the upper limit. According to this configuration, the second display may be displayed longer than the first display, and the information by the second display may be more easily grasped and the interest of the game may be improved.

  It should be noted that the game information is not limited to the suggestion of the set value as described above. For example, when the transition probability to so-called AT (assist time) or RT (replay time) changes, the transition probability is changed. As in the suggestion, information on the degree of advantage regarding the game may be used. The mode of the suggestion at this time may be, for example, an image using, for example, displaying a character that does not normally appear, but is not limited thereto. In addition to such information on the degree of advantage, the number of medals acquired in advantageous gaming states such as the number of jackpots (bonus state), the number of consecutive chan, bonuses, and the like, the total number of medals acquired in a plurality of bonus states, and the like. It may display information. Information such as the number of jackpots, the number of consecutive chan, the number of medals acquired during the bonus, and the total number of medals acquired is information on the bonus state and corresponds to an example of history information based on the play history of the game. In the configuration in which the AT and the RT are provided, the history information on the AT and the RT (the number of ATs and RTs, the number of consecutive chan- nels of AT and RT, the number of medals obtained during AT and RT, Acquired number) may be used. That is, the information relating to the game may be any information that is useful for the player playing the game, such as information such as advantage information and history information. Note that the above example is an example of a configuration in which there is information related to these games, which is included only in the second display (not included in the first display).

  In the second embodiment, the notification information, which is information for the player and is not related to the advantage or disadvantage of the state of the game, is displayed in parallel with the first display and the second display. For information irrelevant to advantages and disadvantages, the player may not be very interested, but in the second embodiment, the information is displayed in parallel with the first display or the second display that the player is interested in. In some cases, notification information can be recognized. Also, while the first display and the second display are not displayed in parallel with the notification information, the configuration in which the first display and the second display are displayed in parallel with the notification information has more types. Since the information is displayed, the attention of the player can be enhanced, and as a result, the first display and the second display can be noticed in some cases. In order to obtain the effect of making it easier to grasp the information by the second display, a configuration in which this notification information is not displayed may be adopted.

  Note that the display time of the first display when the configuration of the notification information is adopted may end earlier than the notification information as in the example of FIG. 25, or may be as in the example of FIG. It may end at the same time as the notification information. In the example of FIG. 25, the first display and the display of the notification information are started (see period a), and when the first display ends, the notification information is displayed on the background (see period b). This indicates that only the background is displayed after the notification information display period has elapsed (see period c). On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 26, the first display and the display of the notification information are started (see period a), and when the display of the first display and the notification information is completed, only the background is displayed (see period c). It is shown.

  In addition, it is sufficient that the minimum display time is ensured for the notification information, and a configuration in which the display time is not limited to a constant one but may be extended may be employed. For example, when the time from P6 to P7 in FIG. 24 is set to the minimum display time, if the bet operation is performed before the display time elapses, the second display is terminated and the notification information is displayed. The display may be continued, the second display and the display of the notification information may be continued as it is after the display time has elapsed, and both displays may be terminated when the betting operation is performed. FIG. 27 shows a flow when the betting operation is performed at the same timing as the timing (B4) in FIG. 24 in a case where this configuration is adopted. In this case, the notification information that has passed the minimum display time (until P7) is displayed as it is (extension of the display time), and the display of the second display and the notification information ends at the timing (B4) of the subsequent betting operation. Is shown.

  In the situation where the first display or the second display is switched to another display by the operation of the player, for example, the game is confirmed when the information is confirmed within the display time of the first display or the second display. Is allowed, the pace of the game progress of the player can be prevented from being disturbed, and the interest of the game can be prevented from decreasing.

  The end timing of the first display and the second display may be configured to be later or earlier than the end timing of the display of the notification information. Further, the end timing of the first display and the display of the notification information is not limited to the configuration in which the end timings are different, and the end timing of the display of the second display and the display of the notification information may be the same. It may be the same. When the end timing of the first display and the second display is different from the end timing of the display of the notification information as in the examples of FIGS. Can be used to call attention to the player.

[Conditions for properly using first display and second display (second embodiment)]
In the second embodiment, at the end of RT4, if the RB that triggered the transition to RT4 has been internally won at RT0, the first display is selected, and the internal win is made at RT1, which is more advantageous than RT0. In this case, the second display is selected. This configuration can be said to be a configuration in which the first display and the second display are selectively used depending on which of RT0 and RT1 has been set most recently in the RT transition until shifting to RT4. As described above, the first display and the second display may be selectively used based on the transition of the game state.

  The above-described determination conditions for selectively using the first display and the second display are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the second display is selected when the bonus state is once terminated and the disadvantage state is reached, and then the second display is selected in the case of a so-called consecutive chan to be in the bonus state again. The display may be selected. In the configuration of the second embodiment, it is determined which of RT0 and RT1 has been set most recently in the RT transition until shifting to RT4. Of these, RT1 is set 30 times after the end of RT5. It can be said that it is configured to determine whether or not the game has shifted to RT4 based on the internally won RB in the game within 30 times from the end of RT5. In other words, it can be said that this configuration is an example of a configuration in which consecutive chan is determined based on the number of games played before the transition from RT5 to RT4. In this manner, in determining the consecutive chan, the number of games from the end of RT4 or RT5 to the transition to a new RT4 (or the internal winning for the transition role) exceeds a predetermined number of times. A configuration for determination may be employed.

  Further, for example, various conditions can be used for the determination, such as selectively using the first display and the second display based on the acquired number at the end of the same game state.

  In the second embodiment, the first display and the second display are selectively used in RT4, while the second display is executed at the end of RT5. The display at the end of the RT5 is not limited to this configuration, and may be, for example, the first display or another display. Also, a configuration may be adopted in which the first display and the second display are selectively used even at the end of RT5 as in the example described above. That is, it is sufficient that there is a configuration in which the first display and the second display are selectively used at least at the end of the same game state.

  Further, for example, in the second embodiment, the first display is selected at the end of RT4, and the second display is selected at the end of RT5 which is more advantageous than RT4. A configuration may be adopted in which one display is selected and the second display is selected at the end of the second gaming state which is more advantageous than the first gaming state. That is, at the end of a plurality of types of gaming states, the first display and the second display may be selectively used based on the advantages and disadvantages of these gaming states. Further, the first display and the second display are performed based on a combination of the advantages and disadvantages of the game state and the various conditions described above (for example, RT transition to the bonus state, whether or not a continuous chunk, the number of acquired sheets). The display may be selectively used.

  Further, for example, in the second embodiment, a lottery may be executed at the end of RT4, and a selection may be made between the execution of the first display and the execution of the second display based on the result. At this time, at the end of RT5, a similar lottery may be executed to select whether to execute the first display or the second display. That is, in selecting the first display and the second display, the present invention is not limited to the configuration in which specific condition determination is performed, but may be a configuration in which a lottery is performed.

  Further, in the above example, the end of the bonus state based on the special combination is employed as a trigger for displaying either the first display or the second display. The start timing of these displays is not limited to the bonus state. For example, at the end of so-called AT (assist time) or at the end of RT (replay time), furthermore, the winning probability of these ATs and RTs May be at the end of the state of rising. When the first display or the second display is displayed at the end of the AT or RT, the history information on the AT or RT (the number of AT or RT, the number of consecutive channels of AT or RT, the The number of obtained medals, the total number of obtained medals in AT or RT, etc.) may be used.

  Also, for example, in a gaming table employing an advantageous section in which an operation instruction can be executed, the second display is used when the limit of the advantageous section is reached (for example, the upper limit of the number of games or the cumulative upper limit of net medals). However, the first display may be used when the limit is not reached (for example, when the operation instruction is completed or when the game state is shifted (finished)).

[Contents of First Display and Second Display (Second Embodiment)]
Hereinafter, the contents of the first display and the second display will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of a combination of the first display and the second display, and FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example different from FIG.

  In the second embodiment described above, the acquired number is displayed in both the first display and the second display, but the first display does not suggest a set value, and the second display does not indicate the set value. There is a difference in the amount of information related to the game. In this configuration, the second display includes information (setting value information) that is more advantageous to the player than the first display, and the second display includes information related to the game than the first display. , Which makes the second display more interesting to the player than the first display. In the second embodiment, the acquired number in the second display is actually a display of the total acquired number during the period in which the bonus state is consecutively changed. The acquired number in the second display is larger than that in the second display. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the number of acquired images in the second display may be smaller than the number of acquired images in the first display. In addition, the one with no setting suggestion and the one with setting suggestion may be used as a first display (for example, FIG. 21A1) and a second display (for example, FIG. 21A2). FIG. 21 (a1) shows an example in which the display of the acquired number and the character of Yoshimune who do not suggest the set value are displayed, and FIG. 21 (a2) shows the display of the acquired number and the set value. An example is shown in which a princess character indicating that the number is three or more is displayed. Even with such a configuration, since the second display includes more information about the game than the first display, the second display is made more interesting for the player than the first display. be able to.

  Further, in the second embodiment, a configuration in which the first display does not include the setting suggestion display is employed. However, the configuration is not limited to this configuration, and a configuration including the setting suggestion display may be employed. For example, by using a lottery table different from the lottery table (FIG. 15A) used in setting the second display, the first display may include the setting suggestion display. In this case, the lottery table used for setting the first display may have a lower probability of the lottery of the confirmed display (FIGS. 15D to 15F) than the second display, or may be configured not to perform the lottery. Good. FIGS. 21 (b1) and 21 (b2) show an example of a combination of the first display and the second display when this configuration is adopted. In the first display shown in FIG. 21 (b1), the display of the acquired number and the setting suggestion display indicating that one of the set values 4 to 6 has been confirmed are shown. In the second display shown in (), a display of the acquired number and a setting suggestion display indicating that one of the setting values 5 and 6 has been determined are shown. In these displays, the setting suggestion display of the second display suggests a setting value more advantageous to the player than the setting suggestion display of the first display, and the second display indicates the first display. It can be said that the display includes information more advantageous to the player than the display. Further, while the setting suggestion display of the second display includes information that the setting value is not 4, the setting suggestion display of the first display does not include this information. It can be said that there is more information about the game than one display. In addition, since the setting suggestion display of the second display has a narrower range of setting values of the suggestion target than the setting suggestion display of the first display, the second display is higher than the first display. It can also be said that the display includes information with high reliability.

  Note that the above configuration is merely an example, and the second display is more advantageous to the player than the first display in making the second display more interesting than the first display. Display, or at least one of a display having a larger amount of information than the first display, and furthermore, the second display is a display having higher reliability than the first display. May be included. For example, a first display or a second display such as a display such as "NEXT to RUSH", a display suggesting entry into AT or ART, a display suggesting a mode set internally, or the like. May be included in the first display or the second display. In this case, the first display or the second display is a display including information on a state set thereafter. The type of information included in the first display or the second display can be arbitrarily adopted.

  In setting the second display including information more advantageous to the player than the first display, for example, the second display is changed to a display including information more advantageous to the player than the first display. A configuration can be employed.

  In the first embodiment, the second display has a configuration in which the amount of information about the set value is larger than that of the first display. At this time, the target information is the information about the set value. The information is not limited, and may be any information relating to the game, such as information on the degree of advantage or history information. For example, in a configuration in which a so-called AT or RT is provided, a configuration may be employed in which a difference is provided in the information amount regarding the ease of transition to these states.

  As described above, the second display is set to a content (high reliability, high advantage, and large amount of information) that the player is more interested in than the first display, and the second display is displayed. By showing the information longer than the first display, information can be grasped and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In the above description, as information that the player is particularly interested in, for example, information on the degree of advantage such as information suggesting a set value, the number of acquired sheets in the bonus state or the AT state, and the cumulative number of so-called consecutive chans in which these states are continuous Although the history information of the acquired number has been described, these pieces of information are important information for estimating whether or not the player can obtain a profit. In addition to the above-described configuration, by providing a difference between the contents of the information in the first display and the second display, the second display may be more interesting for the player than the first display. can do. Hereinafter, these configurations will be described.

  First, an example in which the first display and the second display have different setting value suggestions (setting suggestion display) will be described. For example, among the setting suggestion displays, the final display (display of FIGS. 15 (d), (e), and (f)) indicating the information that has been finalized with respect to the set value is included in the second display, while the first display shows this display. You may comprise so that a fixed display may not be included. In the fixed display, since the set value can be more accurately grasped, by using this for the second display, the interest of the game can be improved. FIG. 21 (c1) and FIG. 21 (c2) show an example of a combination of the first display and the second display when this configuration is adopted. In each of these examples, the display of the acquired number, the setting suggestion display, and the display of the total acquired number in the consecutive chan using the format of “TOTAL... Both” are included. When only the setting suggestion display is compared, the first display shown in FIG. 21 (c1) is a setting suggestion display suggesting that the set value is an even number, whereas the first display shown in FIG. The second display is a setting suggestion display indicating that the set value is determined to be 3 or more. Although the total number of acquired images in the first display is larger than that in the second display, in a configuration in which the contents of the setting suggestion display in the first display and the second display are different, the number of acquired images and the total The value of the number of sheets need not necessarily be larger in the second display. Further, the first display may display the total number of acquired images, while the second display may not display the total number of acquired images (for example, FIG. 21 (c1) is a first display, and FIG. (A2) or (b2) as the second display). Further, for example, the first display includes the setting suggestion display of FIGS. 15B to 15E, and the second display includes the setting suggestion display of FIG. 15F. It may be configured to include a setting suggestion display that is more advantageous for the player than the first display.

  Next, an example in which the acquired number is different between the first display and the second display will be described. Depending on the gaming console, the state of the gaming console, such as a difference in the set value, may be estimated depending on whether the number of acquired pieces exceeds a certain number (whether or not many profits are obtained). By configuring so that the acquired number in the second display is displayed more than the acquired number, the interest of the game can be improved. This configuration can be said to be a configuration including information indicating that a more advantageous result has been obtained in the second display. FIGS. 22 (a1) and 22 (a2) show an example of a combination of the first display and the second display in a case where this configuration is employed. It is shown that the number is larger than the number obtained in one display. In order to realize this configuration, for example, in the second embodiment, the first display is performed at the end of RT4 and the second display is performed at the end of RT5. The first display is performed when the number does not exceed the number of sheets, and the second display is performed when the number of acquired sheets exceeds 300 at the end of RT5. As in these examples, in a situation where the number of obtained medals is different at the end of the game state (see the remarks column of BB1 to BB4 and RB in FIG. 6), the first display and the second display are selectively used. do it.

  Next, an example will be described in which the first display and the second display have different total acquired numbers. Depending on the gaming console, the state of the gaming console, such as a difference in set values, may be estimated depending on whether the cumulative number of cards obtained exceeds a certain number (whether or not many profits are obtained). By configuring so that the total acquired number in the second display is displayed more than the total acquired number in, the interest of the game can be improved. This configuration can be said to be a configuration including information indicating that a more advantageous result has been obtained in the second display. FIG. 22 (b1) and FIG. 22 (b2) show an example of a combination of the first display and the second display when this configuration is adopted. In the second display, 1000 or more sheets are displayed. While the total acquired number is displayed, the first display indicates that the total acquired number less than 1000 is displayed. In this example, in each of the first display and the second display, the acquired number and the setting suggestion display are included, but the second display is not displayed except for the total acquired number. Is also good. Even with such a configuration, the contents of the first display and the second display can be made different, and the interest of the game can be improved. In the second embodiment, a configuration is used in which the so-called total acquired number of consecutive chan is derived (step S3005 in FIG. 13). However, in the case of the above-described configuration, according to the value of the total acquired number. In this case, any one of the first display and the second display may be selected.

  Further, for example, by configuring the first display not to display the total number of acquired coins, while displaying the total number of acquired coins in the second display, it is possible to improve the interest of the game. . FIG. 22 (c1) and FIG. 22 (c2) show an example of a combination of the first display and the second display when this configuration is adopted. It is shown that it is displayed. In this example, a setting suggestion display is included in both the first display and the second display, but a configuration not including the setting suggestion display in the second display may be employed. Even with such a configuration, the contents of the first display and the second display can be made different, and the interest of the game can be improved. In the second embodiment, the so-called cumulative number of consecutive chan is included in the second display (step S3005 in FIG. 13). However, the acquired number of RT4 alone is separately derived, and this value is calculated. You may comprise so that it may be displayed on a 2nd display with a total acquisition number.

  Further, the first display and the second display may be a display combining information of the types described above. For example, the second display may have a larger amount of information compared to the first display, and may display advantageous information, or the second display may have a greater amount of information than the first display. May display at least advantageous information, or conversely, may display disadvantageous information having a large amount of information. Further, in the above description, the configuration in which the content of the first display and the content of the second display are divided by the setting suggestion display, the number of acquired images, or the like is described. However, these configurations may be combined, for example, the second display In FIG. 15, the case where the setting suggestion display of FIG. 15F is included and the case where the display with the acquired number of 300 or more are included may be mixed.

[Summary of Second Embodiment]
As described above, with respect to the first display and the second display for displaying information related to the game, after providing a difference in the amount and content of the information, and by making these display times different, the information related to the game can be recognized. Can improve the interest of the game. In the second embodiment, a long display time (continued until a bet operation is performed) is set for the first display and the second display so that the second display having more information is more easily recognized. However, a configuration in which a shorter display time is set for the second display than for the first display may be adopted. In the case of this configuration, it is possible to increase the concentration in a situation where the second display can be executed, and add sharpness to the game.

  According to the configuration described above, the first display and the second display are provided as the displays including the information on the game, and the display periods are made different, so that the information on the game can be easily recognized. In some cases, the interest of the game can be improved, such as playing the game or sharpening the game. In addition, it is preferable that the second display including more (or more advantageous) information be displayed longer than the first display in that the information regarding the game can be more recognized.

≫When an error occurs≫
In the above description, the configuration for performing the first display, the second display, and the display of the notification information (the first embodiment and the second embodiment) has been described. On the other hand, in some gaming tables, the operation is interrupted when various inconveniences (errors) are detected. Such errors include, for example, a selector and sensor error caused by inserting a goto device from the medal slot 141, and an error that occurs when a hole is drilled from outside the slot machine 1 to affect the main control board. . Since these errors can occur at any time, if any display (for example, effects or video) is being performed on the effect image display device 157, an error notification is appropriately executed by interruption. Here, when the display time is provided for the various displays described above (the first display, the second display, and the display of the notification information), a configuration is adopted in which the lapse of the display time is determined regardless of the occurrence of an error. Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which the elapse of the display time is interrupted between the occurrence of the error and the cancellation.

  FIG. 28 shows a case where the display time of both the first display and the notification information remains unchanged if an error occurs while both the first display and the notification information display are being executed in FIG. It is a figure showing an example when the composition which passes is adopted. In this figure, it is shown that the first display is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error (E1), and then the first display is executed again after the error is released and until the remaining display time elapses. (From E2 to P8). On the other hand, the broadcast information is interrupted due to the occurrence of the error (E1), and the end timing (P7) is reached during the occurrence of the error, so that the broadcast information is not restarted even if the error is cleared. Note that FIG. 28 shows an example in which the error is canceled before the display time of the first display becomes 0. However, as shown in FIG. 29, the display time of the first display becomes 0. If the error is released after the error, the first display is not executed and the background image is displayed. If a display time is also provided for the second display, a configuration in which the display time elapses during the occurrence of an error can be adopted. In FIGS. 28 and 29, while an error occurs (see period e), a display indicating that an error has occurred is executed. However, a similar display is executed in the following embodiments.

  In FIG. 28, a case is described in which a configuration is adopted in which the display time elapses for both the first display and the display of the notification information during the occurrence of the error. However, the display time does not elapse internally during the occurrence of the error. Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which the lapse of the display time is restarted (the operation is restarted) from the point in time when the problem is solved. In this case, since the display of the notification information does not affect the progress of the game, a configuration in which the display time of the notification information elapses may be employed. FIG. 30 shows an example in which this configuration is adopted. In this example, the first display is interrupted by the occurrence of an error (E1), and then the first display is executed again by the cancellation of the error (E2). During the occurrence of the error, the display time of the first display is changed. Does not elapse. For this reason, it is shown that the end timing of the first display is delayed by the suspended period (shift from P8 to P8 '). On the other hand, the display of the notification information is interrupted by the occurrence of the error (E1), but the display time elapses even during the occurrence of the error. In this example, since the error was released after the end timing (P7) of the notification information, it is shown that the notification information does not resume after the error is released.

  28 to 30 have described examples in which the display time is handled differently during the occurrence of an error. On the other hand, in FIG. 24, a configuration in which the display time is not provided for the second display has been described. May be displayed. FIG. 31 shows a case in which, in FIG. 24, when an error occurs during the execution of both the second display and the display of the notification information, the display time of the display of the notification information is directly passed. It is a figure showing an example of. FIG. 31 shows that the second display is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error (E1), and then, when the error is released, the second display is executed again (E2). Further, it is shown that the second display is displayed until a bet operation as an end condition is performed (B4). On the other hand, the broadcast information is interrupted due to the occurrence of the error (E1), and the end timing (P7) is reached during the occurrence of the error, so that the broadcast information is not restarted even if the error is cleared. Note that a configuration may be adopted in which the display time of the notification information does not elapse during the occurrence of an error. It should be noted that when the second display interrupted due to the occurrence of the error is to be re-executed after the error is cleared, the configuration described in FIG. It can also be realized by a configuration applied to the second display.

  Also, as a configuration different from the examples of FIGS. 28 to 31, when an error occurs during the display period of the first display (or the second display), the first display is performed again when the error is subsequently released. A configuration may be adopted in which a normal screen (for example, a background image) is displayed without executing (or terminating) the second display. In this configuration, the operation when the error is cleared after the display time of the original first display becomes 0 is the same as that in FIG.

  In adopting the above-described configuration, if an error occurs during the display period of the first display, the first display is not executed again at the time of the subsequent error cancellation (the first display is not executed). If an error occurs during the display period of the second display, the second display may be executed again when the error is subsequently canceled. With this configuration, the player can be made aware of the second display even when an error occurs. If an error occurs during the display period of the first display, the first display is not executed again when the error is released. A configuration in which the display time elapses (see FIGS. 28 and 29) may be employed.

  The screen indicating that an error has occurred (hereinafter, error screen) may be configured to switch from the screen displayed immediately before to the error screen, or the screen displayed immediately before may be set as a lower layer, An error image (for example, an error message or a character displayed at the time of an error) may be displayed as an upper layer for this layer. That is, a screen in which the error image overlaps the screen displayed immediately before may be used as the error screen. In this case, the first display and the second display displayed in the lower layer may be configured so that the display can be switched (switched in a fixed time or switched by a player operation) regardless of the error cancellation state. . Further, the above configurations may be combined according to the content of the error. For example, a pattern in which the entire screen is switched when an error occurs as in the example of FIG. 28 is performed when a relatively serious error (for example, the progress of a game or a game operation is impossible) occurs, while an error image is displayed. However, a pattern that overlaps with the immediately preceding screen may be performed when a relatively minor error such as the opening of a door (for example, the progress of a game or a game operation is possible) occurs.

  Note that the error is not limited to the type of error, but a configuration may be adopted in which the above-described operation is performed for an error that is canceled by an operation of a store clerk.

≫In case of power failure 断
28 to 31, the operation in the case where an error has occurred has been described. However, in the case where a power failure such as a power failure (hereinafter, “power loss”) occurs and the power is restored (hereinafter, “power recovery”) thereafter Also, the same configuration as when an error occurs can be employed. However, the game can be restarted immediately after the error is cleared, but after the power is restored, a period of the recovery process is required before not only the game operation but also the operation including the effect can be restarted. Therefore, when adopting the same configuration as that in the case where an error has occurred, the operation after the above-mentioned error cancellation may be applied to the operation after the recovery processing. For example, when a display time is provided for each of the above-described various displays (first display, second display, and display of the notification information), a configuration in which the lapse of the display time is determined regardless of the presence or absence of power interruption. A configuration may be employed in which the display time elapses during the period from power interruption to power restoration (or from power interruption to the end of restoration processing after power restoration). Further, when the display time is not provided, the display interrupted by the power interruption may be restarted after the end of the restoration process after the power restoration. Further, when the display is interrupted due to a power interruption, a normal screen (for example, a background image) may be displayed without restarting the display after the restoration process after the power recovery is completed.

  FIG. 32 adopts a configuration in FIG. 24 in which, when a power failure occurs during both the second display and the display of the notification information, the display time of the display of the notification information elapses as it is. It is a figure showing an example of the case. FIG. 32 shows that the second display is interrupted due to the occurrence of power interruption (D1), and thereafter, when the power is restored (D2) and the restoration process is completed, the second display is executed again. (D3). Further, it is shown that the second display is displayed until a bet operation as an end condition is performed (B4). On the other hand, the notification information is interrupted due to the occurrence of the power interruption (D1), and the end timing (P7) is reached during the subsequent recovery processing, which indicates that the notification information does not resume even after the recovery processing is completed. Note that a configuration may be adopted in which the display time of the notification information does not elapse from the power interruption to the completion of the recovery processing. Note that, as shown in FIG. 32, nothing is displayed during the power interruption (see period d), and a display indicating that the restoration process is being performed from the power recovery until the restoration process is completed (see period f). (Hereinafter, restoration display) is executed, but the same display is executed in the following embodiments.

  FIG. 33 is an example of a case in which a configuration is adopted in which a configuration in which a background image is displayed after power is restored when a power failure occurs during both execution of the second display and display of the notification information in FIG. FIG. In FIG. 33, the display of the second display and the notification information is interrupted due to the occurrence of the power interruption (D1), and thereafter, when the power is restored (D2) and the restoration process is completed, the display interrupted by the power interruption is executed again. However, it is shown that the background image is displayed (D3).

  In FIG. 33, the second display and the background image are displayed when the recovery processing is completed. However, when the recovery processing is completed, a demonstration video or the like may be displayed. The background image may be displayed in response to the occurrence of the background image. Further, the same configuration may be adopted when not only the second display but also the first display is interrupted by a power interruption. In the case where the display interrupted due to the power interruption is not executed again after the power is restored, by applying to both the first display and the second display, it is difficult to estimate the presence or absence of a setting change or the like while the store is closed. There is.

  Also, in the case where the time from power interruption to power restoration is very short (instantaneous power failure), such as when the power supply voltage drops momentarily due to a lightning strike or the like, the case where the second display is interrupted is shown in FIG. The second display may be restarted after the restoration process is completed as in the example of the above. In addition, when the second display is restarted by this configuration, the display may be switched to another display in response to a player operation, or the display may be switched to another display immediately after the second display is restarted. On the other hand, the first display may be configured not to redisplay the first display irrespective of the momentary stop.

  The contents displayed during the recovery processing are not limited to the contents, such as a display indicating that data is being read. Also, a configuration may be adopted in which a demonstration video is played after the restoration processing is completed. Note that the demo video is switched to a screen (for example, a first display, a second display, or a background image) displayed during a game by a player's operation such as an insertion operation. In the configuration where the demo video is played after the restoration process is completed, the demo video will be displayed after the restoration process is completed, regardless of whether the first display or the second display is prepared after the restoration process. Become.
