Effect switch 56 and the like are provided. Hereinafter, an operation on the start switch 7 in a state in which a bet amount for starting one game is set is referred to as a “lever-on operation”. An operation of stopping the rotation of one reel while the two reels are stopped and one reel is rotating is referred to as “third stop”. The number of reels is not limited to three, and may be one or two or more. Further, although the variable display unit is shown as being constituted by physical reels, it may be constituted by an image display device such as a liquid crystal display.

  A medal insertion part 4 into which medals can be inserted is provided at the lower right of the liquid crystal display 51, and a medal payout port 9 for paying out medals and speakers 53 and 54 are provided below the front door 1b. .

  The front door 1b is provided with a game display unit 13 for notifying information on the game as an example of a notifying unit. The gaming display unit 13 displays a credit display 11 for displaying the number of medals stored as credits, a game auxiliary display 12 for displaying the number of paid out medals and an error code at the time of error, and a set bet. 1 BET LED 14, 2 BET LED 15, 3 BET LED 16 for notifying the number, an insertion request LED 17 for notifying that a medal can be inserted, a start valid LED 18 for notifying that the start switch 7 can be operated, a weight (start of the previous game) Waiting for the start of reel rotation because a certain period of time has not elapsed since the start of the replay), and a replaying LED 20 for notifying that a replay game is in progress after winning a replay. Is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, inside the slot machine 1, a game control board 40 for controlling the progress of the game and outputting various commands in accordance with the progress of the game, and a predetermined effect in accordance with the command. An effect control board 90 for controlling is provided. The game control board 40 includes a main control unit 41 that performs processing relating to the progress of the game and controls a configuration mounted or connected to the game control board 40. The effect control board 90 includes a sub-control unit 91 that performs a process of performing an effect in response to a command transmitted from the game control board 40 and controls a configuration mounted or connected to the effect control board 90.

  The main control unit 41 is constituted by a one-chip microcomputer, and has a built-in RAM 41c used as a work memory and a main CPU 41a for performing a control operation in accordance with a program. Each part of the control circuit mounted on the controller 40 is directly or indirectly controlled. When the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and the settlement switch 10 are operated, a detection signal for detecting the operation is input to the main control unit 41. The main control unit 41 detects operation of these various switches based on detection signals from these various switches.

  From the main control unit 41, a control signal for lighting control or display control of various displays included in the game display unit 13 is output to the game display unit 13.

The speakers 53 and 54 output sound based on a control signal from the sub control unit 91.

  FIG. 1B is only a part, and other components are provided inside the slot machine 1.

  When playing a game in the slot machine 1, first, a predetermined number of bets (three in the present embodiment) is set by inserting medals into the medal insertion section 4 or operating the MAXBET switch 6. Thereby, the pay line LN becomes effective, and the operation of the start switch 7 becomes effective, and the game can be started. When a medal is inserted with the bet amount set, the amount is increased to credits.

  The winning line is a line for determining whether the combination of the symbols displayed in the perspective windows 3 of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is a combination of the winning symbols. In the present embodiment, an example in which only one pay line LN is provided will be described. However, a plurality of pay lines may be provided. In addition, invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are provided to make it easy to recognize that the combination of the symbols constituting the winning is aligned with the winning line LN. The invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are not the lines for which a winning determination is made, and when a specific winning symbol combination (so-called loose eye) is aligned on the winning line LN, a predetermined symbol is displayed on any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4. By arranging the combinations, it is easy to recognize that the combinations of the symbols constituting the specific prize are arranged on the prize line LN.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state in which a bet number that allows one game to be started (a state in which the game can be started), the symbols are displayed in a variable manner by rotating the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the corresponding reels is stopped. Then, three symbols are derived and displayed as display results in the upper, middle, and lower tiers of the see-through window 3. When a prize is generated by stopping the combination of the prize symbols on the prize line LN, a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player according to the prize. At this time, when the credit is increased or the credit reaches the upper limit number (50), a medal is paid out from the medal payout exit 9.

  The winning combination of the present embodiment includes a small combination with payout of a game value (medal), a replay for giving a replay, and a special combination with a shift to a game state advantageous to the player (for example, a bonus). Etc.). Giving a replay means that the next game can be performed by automatically setting the bet amount (automatic BET) without setting the bet amount using the game value (medal, credit, etc.). It is. Giving the re-game means that the next game can be started without performing the BET operation.

  In addition, in order for each winning to occur, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the winning combination in the RAM 41c. For example, in order for a bell to win, the bell must be won. In addition, the target combination drawn by the internal lottery is called a lottery target combination or a winning combination. The winning combination consists of one or more winning combinations. The winning role includes a rare role. The rare role is a role that has a lower winning probability than a role other than the rare role. The rare role is, for example, cherry or watermelon.

  Further, the slot machine according to the present embodiment has a function of notifying information corresponding to the result of the internal lottery. The information is information that can specify an operation mode (also referred to as an operation procedure). The operation mode of the present embodiment is the operation sequence (press sequence) of the stop switch. As a modified example, the operation mode may be a concept including at least one of the operation sequence of the stop switch and the operation timing of the stop switch. In addition, such an effect for notification is referred to as a navigation effect. A period during which the navigation effect is performed is referred to as an assist time (AT). AT is an example of an advantageous state for a player.

  The AT of the present embodiment is managed by the net number of medals. For example, in the game in which the small role wins, the net additional number is obtained by reducing the “number of medals required to execute the game (that is, three)” from “the number of tokens paid out corresponding to the winning small role”. It is the number that did. For example, when an eight-prize win that pays out eight medals wins as a small win, the net increase is five.

  In the present embodiment, the AT ends when the net number of medals in the AT reaches the AT end number. The AT end number is determined by an AT lottery described later. Also, during the AT, the AT end number is displayed as the AT remaining number (sub) D (for example, a character “100 remaining”) as shown in FIG. 2B. The AT ends when the net increase number during the AT reaches the number determined by the AT lottery, that is, when the remaining AT number becomes zero. In the present embodiment, when the display result derived during the AT is derived, the display of the remaining AT number (sub) D is reduced and updated.

  In this embodiment, a state in which the AT is controlled by the AT at the RT having a high probability of winning the replay advantageous to the player is particularly called an assist replay time (hereinafter, referred to as ART). The net increase in the number of medals during the AT starts counting from the next game after the game that can be controlled to the ART. Thereby, the AT is substantially ended when the net medal increase number in the ART reaches the AT end number. Then, the ART ends when the AT ends.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 can control an AT different from an advantageous gaming state such as RT having a high winning probability of a bonus or replay. The AT is a period during which a navigation effect capable of specifying an operation mode for stopping a combination of symbols advantageous to the player on the pay line LN is executed, and is in a state advantageous to the player. For example, “1” is information that can specify “left, middle, right”, which is a pressing order for winning a promotion replay that triggers a transition to an RT having a high probability of winning a replay. , And an image capable of specifying that the stop switch 8 is operated in the order of “left, middle, right” on the liquid crystal display 51. However, an effect that teaches a design to be pushed or an effect that teaches the timing of pushing may be adopted as the AT. In other words, the AT may execute a navigation effect notifying the operation order but notifying the operation timing. In the AT, a navigation effect for notifying both the operation sequence and the operation timing may be executed.

  The main control unit 41 performs an AT lottery process to determine whether or not to control to the AT when the first rare role is won as the rare role during the non-AT period. When the rare combination is won, an additional lottery process is performed to determine whether to add the remaining number of ATs. The AT lottery process and the additional lottery process need only be executed at a predetermined timing in the progress of one game, and may be executed after the internal lottery is performed in the internal lottery process, for example. At least one of the first rare role and the second rare role may be two or more. Further, the first rare role and the second rare role may be the same or different, and some of the plurality of first rare roles may be included in the second rare role. You may.

  In the AT lottery process, it is determined whether or not to control the AT, and when it is determined that the control is performed at the AT, the AT is determined from a plurality of types of candidates for the AT end number (for example, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300). Determine the end number. The AT end number is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM of the main control unit 41.

  The main control unit 41 sets an AT flag and controls the AT when the AT start timing comes when the AT is won without winning the bonus. On the other hand, the main control unit 41 sets an AT flag when a bonus has been won and the bonus has ended when the AT has been won along with the bonus win, and controls the AT from the next game after the bonus ends. It should be noted that the timing at which the next game after the game that has won the AT starts may be used as the AT start timing. Alternatively, the AT start timing may be determined, and the AT may be won from the game that has won the AT until the AT starts. An effect may be performed to inspire whether or not it has been done.

  The AT flag is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM of the main control unit 41, and is cleared when the remaining AT number reaches 0 (when the net increase number in AT reaches the AT end number). The main control unit 41 specifies whether or not the AT is being performed based on the AT flag.

  In the additional lottery process, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to add the remaining AT number, and when it is determined that the additional AT is added, a plurality of types of candidates for the remaining AT number (20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300), the additional AT remaining number to be added to the remaining AT number is determined. The determined number of additional games is increased to the remaining AT number stored in a predetermined area of the RAM of the main control unit 41. Accordingly, the main control unit 41 adds the number of games to be controlled to the AT.

[Various display units]
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining various display units. Numerical values are displayed on the various display units shown in FIG. 2, and the numerical values are updated based on the fact that the displayed numerical value has been increased or decreased. FIG. 2A shows an example of numerical values displayed under the control of the main side (main control section 41). FIG. 2B shows an example of numerical values displayed under the control of the sub side (sub control unit 91).

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the credit display 11 displays the number of credits. In the following, parentheses after a numerical value to be subjected to update control may indicate a subject that executes the update control. For example, since the number of credits displayed on the credit display 11 is controlled to be updated by the main control unit 41, the number of credits is referred to as the number of credits (main) A. The credit indicator 11 is a 7-segment indicator and can display up to two digits. In the present embodiment, the upper limit value of which the slot machine 1 can store as a credit is 50, so that up to two digits can be displayed. However, three or more digits may be displayed. It may be a digit.

  On the game auxiliary display 12, the number of paid out medals (main) B is displayed. The game auxiliary display 12 is a 7-segment display, and can display up to two digits. Further, when the small winning combination is won, the gaming auxiliary display 12 displays a medal payout number corresponding to the small winning combination.

  Under the control of the main control unit 41, the set bet amount is notified in the 1BETLED 14, the 2BETLED15, and the 3BETLED16. Hereinafter, the number that can be displayed by lighting each of the 1 BET LED 14, the 2 BET LED 15, and the 3 BET LED 16 is referred to as a BET number (main) C.

  Next, FIG. 2B will be described. FIG. 2B shows an example of numerical values displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 by the sub control unit 91 during AT. During the AT, as shown in FIG. 2B, the remaining AT number (sub) D in the AT is displayed in the upper left area of the liquid crystal display 51. Also, as described above, when the remaining AT number (sub) D reaches 0, the AT ends. Therefore, when the remaining AT number (sub) D is increased by being added, it becomes advantageous for the player. Also, during the AT, the acquired number (sub) E of medals during the AT is displayed in the upper right area of the liquid crystal display 51. In the present embodiment, the acquired number (sub) E of medals in AT is a net increase in the number of medals in AT.

  In the lower left area of the liquid crystal display 51, the number of credits is displayed. Hereinafter, this credit number is referred to as a credit number (sub) F. The number of credits indicated by the number of credits (sub) F is the same as the number of credits indicated by the number of credits (main) A.

  In the area below the area in which the number of credits is displayed, the set number of bets (the number of bets) is displayed. Hereinafter, this credit number is referred to as a BET number (sub) G. The BET number (sub) G and the BET number (main) C are the same.

  Next, a description will be given of an increase update and a decrease update of these seven numerical values A to G. First, main processing executed by the main control unit 41 will be described. The main processes include a winning determination process, a payout process, and a game end process. The prize determination process is a process of determining whether or not a prize has occurred according to the display result derived for each reel when it is determined that the rotation of all reels has stopped. After the execution of the winning determination processing, the payout processing is executed. The payout process is a process of paying out medals when a prize is generated by the prize determination process. When the credit is less than 50, the credit is increased and updated, and when the number of credits reaches 50, a medal is paid out from the medal payout exit 9. The game end process includes a process of turning off the lit BETLED (see FIG. 6E), a process of setting a game state in preparation for the next game, and the like.

  Next, a description will be given of the updating of the number of credits (main) A and the number of credits (sub) F. The number of credits (main) A and the number of credits (sub) F are updated, for example, by the number of medal payouts corresponding to the small combination when the small combination wins. The number of credits (main) A and the number of credits (sub) F are increased and updated by the number of inserted medals when the player inserts medals from the medal insertion unit 4. The number of credits (main) A and the number of credits (sub) F are reduced and updated by the set number of bets, for example, when a BET operation (in this embodiment, an operation on the MAXBET switch 6) is executed. Is done. In the present embodiment, since the bet amount of three bets is set at a time by operating the MAXBET switch 6, the bet amount is reduced and updated by three.

  The payout number (main) B is increased and updated by the medal payout number corresponding to the small win when the small win is won. The number of payouts (main) B is turned off (not displayed) until the small role wins. For example, the state is turned off when the eight role paying out eight medals wins. Is displayed, and thereafter, the number is updated from "1" to "8". Further, in the present embodiment, the payout number (main) B is not reduced and updated. For example, when the small win is awarded and “8” is displayed as the payout number (main) B, when the light-off condition is satisfied, the payout number (main) B is turned off. The light-off condition includes, for example, a condition that is satisfied by executing a BET operation (operation on the MAXBET switch 6) for starting the next game. The light-off condition includes a condition that is satisfied when a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses without displaying the bet operation from when the payout number (main) B is displayed. As a modified example, the payout number (main) B may be updated to be reduced from “8” to “0” when the light-off condition is satisfied.

  Next, an increase update and a decrease update of the BET number (main) C will be described. First, an increase update of the number of BETs (main) C will be described. In the present embodiment, when the BET condition is satisfied, three bets are set at a time. The BET condition includes a condition that is satisfied when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated in a state where the bet amount is not set, and a condition that is satisfied when the replaying game is derived. The lighting mode of the three BETLEDs of the present embodiment is a mode in which the three BETLEDs are turned on one by one. The lighting mode is, for example, lighting the 1 BET LED 14 → lighting the 2 BET LED 15 when a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) has elapsed since the lighting of the 1 BET LED 14 → lighting the 3 BET LED 16 when a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) has elapsed since the lighting of the 2 BET LED 15. In this order, lighting control (hereinafter, referred to as sequential lighting processing) is executed. This lighting control is an update of the increase in the number of BETs (main) C.

  Next, a description will be given of how the number of BETs (main) C is reduced and updated. In the present embodiment, during the game (period from when three bets are set to execute the game to when the display result is derived), all 1BETLED 14, 2BETLED15, and 3BETLED16 light up. It is in the state that it is. Thereafter, when the display result is derived by stopping all the reels, the three BET LEDs are simultaneously turned off regardless of whether or not a winning has occurred. By turning off the light, the BET number (main) C is updated to decrease.

  Next, an update of the number of BETs (sub) G will be described. In the present embodiment, “0” is displayed as the bet amount (sub) G when the bet amount is not set. In this state, when the BET condition is satisfied, three bets are set at a time. At the same time, the sub control unit 91 increases and updates the displayed “0” to “3”.

  Next, a description will be given of how the number of BETs (sub) G is reduced and updated. In the present embodiment, during the game (the period from when the number of bets is set to execute the game to when the display result is derived), the number of BETs (sub) G is “3”. Is displayed. In this state, when the display result is derived by stopping all the reels, the sub-control unit 91 reduces the displayed “3” to “0” regardless of whether or not a winning has occurred. Update.

  Next, an increase update and a decrease update of the AT remaining number (sub) D will be described. For example, when an additional win is made during the AT and a specific condition is satisfied, the AT remaining number (sub) D is updated and increased. Further, the specific condition may be any condition, for example, an operation on the effect switch 56. In this case, the promotion condition for promoting the operation to the production switch 56 is executed, and the player who visually recognizes the promotion operation operates the production switch 56, so that the specific condition is satisfied. In addition, the specific condition may be a condition that is satisfied when a predetermined operation (for example, a third stop) is executed in a game that has been additionally won or a game after the game.

  In addition, the fact that the AT remaining number (sub) D is increased and updated substantially increases the AT period, which is advantageous for the player. For example, if an additional lottery determines that the number of remaining ATs (subs) D is 20 in addition to the number of remaining ATs (sub) D, an additional effect that displays the character "20 plus! Congratulations" is displayed when certain conditions are satisfied. Is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). Thereafter, the AT remaining number (sub) D is updated to be increased by 20. In addition, the additional notification may be performed by notifying at once the remaining number of ATs determined to be added, or may be notified separately.

  Next, a description will be given of how the AT remaining number (sub) D is reduced and updated. In the present embodiment, during AT, the pushing order is won. During the AT, in a game in which the pressing combination is won, a corresponding operation sequence corresponding to the pressing combination is notified. In the game in which the small push order has been won, when the player is operated in the notified corresponding operation order, the leading role wins regardless of the operation timing. The leading role of the present embodiment is “8-piece role”. Further, when the operation is performed in an operation order different from the corresponding operation order, when at least one stop switch is operated at a specific timing, the sub role wins, and the at least one stop switch is operated at a timing different from the specific timing. When operated, a non-winning display result that does not generate a winning is derived. The sub role may be the same as the payout number of the main role, or may be smaller than the payout number of the main role.

  In the case of such a configuration, when the leading role (eight-segment role) is derived during the AT, the AT remaining number (sub) D is reduced and updated by the medal net number increase based on the small role winning. For example, when the winning combination of eight is won, the bet number is three, so the net increase is five. Therefore, for example, when 100 pieces are displayed as the AT remaining number (sub) D, when the eight-prize combination is won, the AT remaining number (sub) D is reduced and updated to 95.

  Further, when the sub role is derived during the AT, regardless of the payout number of the sub role, the AT remaining number (sub) D is subtracted by the same number as that when the main role is derived (that is, five). Be updated. Also, when the non-prize-winning display result is derived during the AT, the AT remaining number (sub) D is subtracted and updated by the same number (that is, five) as when the leading role was derived. Explaining the reason for adopting such a configuration, the expected value of the remaining number of ATs that can be won in the AT addition during the AT is higher than the expected value of the remaining number of ATs that can be won in the first AT win during the non-AT period. There are cases where many configurations are adopted. In such a case, if, for example, the remaining number of ATs is not subtracted and updated when the non-winning display result is derived, the player intentionally derives the non-winning display result (that is, the notification). AT is intentionally operated in an operation procedure different from the operation procedure performed), so that the AT can be prolonged. Then, during the AT, since the expected value of the additional winning of the AT remaining number is high, unfair profit can be enjoyed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the AT remaining number (sub) D is subtracted and updated by the net number of the leading role (5) and the AT remaining number (sub) D, regardless of whether the secondary role is derived during the AT or the non-prize display result is derived. . Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from enjoying unfair advantage.

  Next, a description will be given of a decrease update of the acquired number (sub) E. When a display result different from the replay is derived, an operation is performed on the MAXBET switch 6 for starting a game next to the game from which the display result was derived, and thereafter, the next game is started. When the lever-on operation is performed, the acquired number (sub) E is reduced and updated by the number of bets required for one game (three in this embodiment). For example, when 100 is displayed as the acquired number (sub) E, when the operation on the MAXBET switch 6 is executed, the number is reduced from 100 to 97 and updated. Next, a description will be given of an update of the increase of the acquired number (sub) E. For example, when the display result for winning the small combination is derived, the acquired number (sub) E is updated by the number of medals paid out corresponding to the winning small combination. For example, when 97 pieces are displayed as the acquired number (sub) E, when the eight-prize combination is won, the acquired number (sub) E is increased and updated to 105 sheets. In this way, the acquired number (sub) E is updated by the net increase number by the decrease update and the increase update in one game.

[Update start timing when increasing the value, etc.]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an update start timing when a numerical value is increased. In FIG. 3, the numerical values are the number of credits (main) A, the acquired number (sub) E, and the number of credits (sub) F. Further, in the present embodiment, the incremental update of these three numerical values is started when a predetermined update trigger (specific condition) is satisfied. In the example of FIG. 3, the update opportunity is an opportunity that is established by winning a small role (eight in the example of FIG. 3). Note that the winning of the eight-sheet winning is also referred to as the deriving of the eight-sheet winning.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when eight winning combinations are derived at timing T1, a winning determination process is executed. When the winning determination processing ends at timing T2, the main control unit 41 transmits a payout start command to the sub control unit 91, as shown in FIG. The payout start command is a command by which the sub-control unit 91 can specify that the payout process has been started. At timing T3 when the sub-control unit 91 receives the payout start command, the sub-control unit 91 specifies that the payout process has been started. Thereafter, a game end process is executed at timing T4 when the payout process ends.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, the main control unit 41 starts increasing the credit amount (main) A at timing T2. In this case, the credit number (main) A is increased and updated by eight. Since the updating of the number of credits (main) A is executed in synchronization with the payout process, the updating of the number of credits (main) A ends at timing T4.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 3D and 3E, at the timing T3, the sub controller 91 executes the update of the credit number (sub) F and the update of the acquired number (sub) E. Is done. The credit number (sub) F and the acquired number (sub) E are increased and updated by eight. Further, in the present embodiment, the period for increasing the number of credits (main) A, the period for increasing and updating the number of credits (sub) F, and the period for increasing and updating the acquired number (sub) E are all the same. Suppose there is. The timing at which the update of the credit amount (sub) F and the update of the acquired number (sub) E are finished is T5. Further, the period from timing T2 to timing T3 is the same as the period from timing T4 to timing T5.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the update opportunity of 1 is established (for example, when the eight-copies combination is derived), the increase update of the credit number (main) A is started at timing T2, and the credit number (sub ) The increase update of F and the acquired number (sub) E are started at timing T3.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining how these three numerical values are updated. First, how the credit amount (main) A is updated will be described with reference to FIG. In the number of credits (main) A, “0” is displayed first, and finally “8” is displayed. From 0 to 8, it is updated one by one such as 0 to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and so on. The update of the numbers is performed in an operation mode (vertical scroll mode) in which the numbers before the update scroll down and the next numbers scroll from top to bottom. Specifically, when the display is switched from 0 to 1, the display changes from “0” to “1” after passing through a display such as (0 → 1) in the figure. In the display shown in (0 → 1), the upper half of “0” constituting the upper half of “0” in the lower half of the first digit of the credit indicator 11 is displayed with “1” in the upper half of the first digit of the credit indicator 11. The lower part of 1 constituting the lower half is displayed.

  Similarly, when the display is switched from 1 to 2, the display changes from the display of “1” to the display of “2” after the display as shown in (1 → 2) in the figure. In the display shown in (1 → 2), the upper half of “1” that forms the upper half of “1” in the lower half of the first digit of the credit indicator 11 has the upper half of “2” in the upper half of the first digit of the credit indicator 11. The lower part of 2 constituting the lower half is displayed.

  As described above, until the number “8” is displayed, the numerical values are updated one by one in a vertical scrolling mode in which the numerical values are sliding from top to bottom. In the present embodiment, the display is updated in such a manner that the next numeral is connected to the previous numeral, but the display is updated in such a manner that a gap is provided between the numerals. May be.

  Next, a manner of updating the acquired number (sub) E (the net number increased after being controlled by the AT) will be described with reference to FIGS. In the acquired number (sub) E, “490 GET” is displayed first, and finally “498 GET” is displayed. Like the credit number of the credit number (main) A, the numerical value is updated one by one, and as shown in FIG. 5, the numerical value is updated vertically (see arrow α) as if the numerical value is sliding from top to bottom. In the scroll mode. The arrow α in FIG. 5 is for explaining the vertical scrolling mode, and is not actually displayed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4C, a description will be given of how the credit amount (sub) F is updated. In the number of credits (sub) F, “0” is displayed at first, and finally “8” is displayed. Like the credit number of the credit number (main) A, the numerical value is updated one by one, and the numerical value is updated in a vertical scroll mode in which the numerical value slides from top to bottom. The vertical scroll mode is the same as that of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the period in which the three numerical values are updated by “1” is the same. Accordingly, the three numerical values are also updated and updated by the same numerical value (“8” in the example of FIG. 4). To explain with reference to FIG. 3, a period from timing T2 to T4, which is a period of the update control of the number of credits (main), and a timing T3, which is a period of the update control of the number of credits (sub) and the acquired number (sub). The period from T5 to T5 is the same.

  When the increase update control is executed, a sound corresponding to the increase update control is output from the speakers 53 and 54. For example, when an eight-prize win is won, a prize sound (for example, Durrun) corresponding to the eight-prize win is output, and a payout sound (dun) is output each time one medal is paid out. . This payout sound is output eight times.

[Update start timing when the numerical value decreases]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the update start timing and the like when the numerical value is decreased. In FIG. 6, the numerical values are BET number (main) C, BET number (sub) G, and remaining number (sub) D. In the present embodiment, the three numerical values are updated when a predetermined update trigger is established. In the example of FIG. 6, the update trigger is a trigger that is established when the eight-copies are derived, as in FIG. 3. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a case where the number of remaining AT games is not added.

  First, a description will be given of the start timing of the decrease update control of these three numerical values. As shown in FIG. 6A, when eight winning combinations are derived at timing T1, a winning determination process is executed. When the winning determination processing ends at timing T2, the main control unit 41 transmits a payout start command to the sub control unit 91, as shown in FIG. At timing T3 when the sub-control unit 91 receives the payout start command, the sub-control unit 91 specifies that the payout process has been started. Thereafter, a game end process is executed at timing T4 when the payout process ends.

  As shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D, the sub-control unit 91 starts reducing and updating the BET number (sub) G and the remaining number (sub) D at timing T3. The BET number (sub) G is updated by being reduced by three. In addition, the remaining number (sub) D is decreased and updated by five (net increase). Since the payout process is a process in which eight medals are paid out, the reduction update of the BET number (sub) G and the remaining number (sub) D ends by the end of the payout process.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6E, at timing T4 (as the first processing of the game termination processing), the main control unit 41 turns off the BETLED. The timing at which the BETLED extinguishing process ends is T5.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, a description will be given of how these three numerical values are reduced and updated. First, with reference to FIG. 7A, a description will be given of how the number of BETs (main) C is reduced and updated. In FIG. 7A, a hatched circle indicates a lit BETLED, and a non-hatched circle indicates a lit BETLED. In the present embodiment, the three BETLEDs are turned off while the three BETLEDs are turned on. By the light-off control, a decrease update of the BET number (main) C is executed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7B and FIG. 8, a description will be given of a decrease update of the BET number (sub) G. In the present embodiment, during the game (the period from when the three bets are set to execute the game to when the display result is derived), the number of BETs (sub) G is three. Will be displayed as Then, regardless of whether or not a winning has occurred, when all the reels have stopped, the BET number (sub) G initially displayed as “3” is finally displayed as “0”.

  From 3 to 0, they are updated one by one, such as 3 to 2, 2 to 1, and so on. The updating of the numbers is performed in an operation mode in which the numbers slide from right to left as shown in FIG. 8 (horizontal scroll mode as indicated by an arrow α). Specifically, when the display is switched from 3 to 2, from the display of “3”, 3 is scrolled to the left, and a display is displayed in which the left half of “2” is displayed at the right end. After switching, "2" is displayed. From the display of “2”, 2 is scrolled to the left and switched to a display in which the left half of “1” is displayed at the right end, and then “1” is displayed. In this way, until “0” is displayed, the numerical values are updated one by one in such a manner that the numerical values slide from right to left. Note that the arrow α in FIG. 8 is for explaining the vertical scroll mode, and is not actually displayed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7C, a description will be given of how the number of BETs (sub) G is reduced and updated. In the example of FIG. 6, “100” is displayed first, and finally “95” is displayed. Also, as shown in FIG. 7C, the decrease update of the remaining AT number (sub) D is performed in the horizontal scroll mode described with reference to FIG. 7B. The horizontal scroll mode is the same as that of FIG.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the case where the credit (main) A is updated and the case where the credit (main) A is updated and reduced. FIG. 9A shows a case where the credit (main) A is updated from 0 to 8 in an increasing manner. The increase / update mode of the credit (main) A shown in FIG. 9A is the same as the increase / update mode of the credit (main) A shown in FIG.

  FIG. 9B shows a case where the credit (main) B is updated to be reduced from 11 to three. The update of the credit (main) B is executed, for example, when a BET operation is executed. As described with reference to FIG. 6, since the reduced update mode is the horizontal scroll mode, the reduced update in the horizontal scroll mode is also performed in FIG. 9B.

[Combination of first and second numerical values]
In FIG. 3, two numerical values having different update timings at one update trigger (the derivation of the eight-sheet combination) are referred to as “first numerical value” and “second numerical value”. In the example of FIG. 3, the first numerical value is the credit number (main) A, and the second numerical value is the acquired number (sub) E and the credit number (sub) F.

  Next, other first numerical values and second numerical values in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 10, the update trigger, the first numerical value, the second numerical value, and “the update start timing of the first numerical value and the second numerical value” are described in association with each of the reference signs P to R. FIG. 10 also includes the contents described above.

  For example, in the example indicated by reference numeral P, the first numerical value is the BET number (main) C, and the second numerical value is the BET number (sub) G. An update opportunity for updating the first numerical value and the second numerical value is that the above-mentioned BET condition is satisfied. The BET condition includes a condition that is satisfied when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated in a state where the bet amount is not set, and a condition that is arranged by retrieving a re-game combination. For example, when the BET condition is satisfied, the main control unit 41 starts the BET processing. The bet process is a process for setting the number of bets. The main control unit 41 starts and increases the BET number (main) C, which is the first numerical value, by starting the BET processing (performs BETLED sequential lighting processing). Further, the main control unit 41 starts the BET processing and transmits a BET command to the sub control unit 91. The BET command is a command that can specify that the main control unit 41 has started the BET processing. When receiving the BET command, the sub control unit 91 increases and updates the BET number (sub) G, which is the second numerical value. Therefore, at a timing after the timing at which the main controller 41 increases and updates the BET number (main) C as the first numerical value, the sub controller 91 increases and updates the BET number (sub) G as the second numerical value. . Therefore, the timing for increasing and updating the first numerical value and the second numerical value is shifted.

  In the example indicated by reference numeral Q, the first numerical values are the number of credits (main) A and the number of payouts (main) B. The second numerical value is the acquired number (sub) E, the number of credits (sub) F, and the remaining number of AT (sub) D when additional winning is achieved. An update opportunity for updating the first numerical value and the second numerical value is to derive a small combination display result (eight-piece combination in the example of FIG. 3). The main controller 41 increases and updates the first number of credits (main) A and the number of payouts (main) B, which are the first numerical values, by executing the payout process based on the derivation of the small combination display result. Further, when receiving the payout start command (see FIG. 3B), the sub control unit 91 sets the second numerical value “the acquired number (sub) E, the number of credits (sub) F, and , AT remaining number (sub) D ”is increased and updated. Therefore, at a timing after the timing at which the main control unit 41 increases and updates the first numerical value, the sub-control unit 91 increases and updates the second numerical value. Therefore, the timing for increasing and updating the first numerical value and the second numerical value is shifted.

  The example indicated by reference numeral R is the content described with reference to FIG. As described with reference to FIG. 6, the first numerical value, the BET number (sub) C, is reduced and updated, and the second numerical value, the remaining AT number (sub) D (when AT is not won), is reduced and updated. Will be the same.

[Effects of the present embodiment]
Next, effects achieved by the slot machine of the present embodiment will be described.

  (1) It is advantageous for the player that the three numerical values described with reference to FIG. 3, that is, the credit amount (main) A, the acquired number (sub) E, and the credit number (sub) F are each increased and updated. It's an update (great for players). Hereinafter, such an update is also referred to as an advantageous update. In addition, as described with reference to FIG. 3, the timing of the start of the increase in the number of credits (main) A, which is the first numerical value, and the increase and update of the number of credits (sub) F and the acquired number (sub) E, which are the second numerical values. The start timing differs from each other. Therefore, since the timing of the incremental update of the first numerical value and the timing of the incremental update of the second numerical value are made different from each other, it is compared with a slot machine that performs the incremental update of these numerical values at the same timing. You can strongly impress. Further, since the timings of the increase update (advantageous update) of the first numerical value and the second numerical value are different from each other, it is possible to strongly impress the player that the first numerical value and the second numerical value are increasing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the control for increasing and updating the first numerical value and the second numerical value can be ended at different timings. In the example of FIG. 3, a period during which the increase update control of at least one of the two numerical values is being performed is a period from timing T2 to T5. Further, in a case where the incremental update control for each of the two numerical values is ended at the same timing, the period during which the incremental update control is being executed is a period between timings T2 and T4. Therefore, in the slot machine of the present embodiment, the period during which the incremental update control of at least one of the two numerical values is performed is compared with the slot machine in which the incremental update control of each of the two numerical values is ended at the same timing. Can be lengthened. Therefore, the player can be strongly impressed that the numerical value is increasing.

  (2) Also, the fact that the three numerical values described with reference to FIG. 6, that is, the BET number (main) C, the BET number (sub) G, and the AT remaining number (sub) D, respectively, decreases and is updated. Update that is unfavorable to the player (dislikes the player). Hereinafter, such an update is also referred to as a disadvantageous update. Also, as described with reference to FIG. 6, the first numerical value, the BET number (sub) C, is reduced and updated, and the second numerical value, the remaining AT number (sub) D (when the AT is not won), is reduced and updated. The timing is the same. Therefore, since the timings of the decrease and update of these two numerical values are the same, it is possible to strongly impress the player that the numerical values have been updated, as compared to when performing the update control of one numerical value. .

  Also, generally, when the player notices that the numerical value is decreasing, the player sees the decreasing numerical value (for example, the first numerical value) and decreases the other numerical value (for example, the second numerical value). Often, you do not notice that you are doing. Therefore, while the first numerical value is being updated and reduced, the second numerical value is already being updated and reduced, and when the decreased update of the first numerical value is completed, whether the decreased update of the second numerical value is also completed or not. Alternatively, the period of the remaining decrease update of the second numerical value can be shortened. Therefore, since the timing of the update of these two numerical values, which is disadvantageous to the player, is set to be the same, it is possible to make the decrease in the two numerical values less noticeable to the player.

  (3) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, when one opportunity (in the present embodiment, the winning of eight copies) is established, both the advantageous update and the disadvantageous update are executed. You. Therefore, various update controls can be executed at the one opportunity. Also, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the number of credits (sub) F and the number of acquired cards (sub) E increase at one timing (in the present embodiment, the timing at which the sub control unit 91 receives the payout command). At the same time, the BET number (sub) G and the AT remaining number (sub) D are reduced and updated. Therefore, various update controls can be executed at the one timing.

  (4) As described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 6, in any of the increase update control and the decrease update control, the timing of updating the numerical value by the main control unit 41 and the update of the numerical value by the sub control unit 91. Timing can be made different. Therefore, since the update control of the main control unit 41 and the update control of the sub control unit 91 can be separated, the degree of freedom in designing the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 can be increased. Further, in both the increment update control and the decrease update control, the update timing of the two numerical values updated by the sub-control unit 91 is the same. Therefore, the update control burden on the sub-control unit 91 can be reduced as compared with the case where the two numerical values updated by the sub-control unit 91 have different update timings.

  (5) Further, as shown in FIG. 3, in the advantageous update, the numerical value is updated in a vertical scrolling mode in which the numerical value slides in the vertical direction. On the other hand, in the disadvantageous update, the numerical value is updated in a horizontal scroll mode in which the numerical value slides in the horizontal direction. That is, the operation mode of updating the numerical value when the advantageous update is performed is different from the operation mode of updating the numerical value when the disadvantageous update is performed. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize whether the advantageous update or the disadvantageous update is performed.

  (6) As described in FIG. 9, even if the updated numerical value (eight in FIG. 9) is the same, when the advantageous update is to be increased from the numerical value before the update, the vertical direction is used. While the numerical value is updated in the scroll mode of, the numerical value is updated in the horizontal scroll mode in the case of a disadvantageous update in which the numerical value is decreased from the value before the update. In other words, even when the numerical value after the advantageous update is the same as the numerical value after the disadvantageous update is performed, the numerical value of the numerical value is not changed when the advantageous update is performed and when the disadvantageous update is performed. Since the operation mode of the update is different, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize whether the advantageous update or the disadvantageous update is performed.

  Even when the updated numerical values are different, the operation mode of updating the numerical values may be different between when the advantageous update is performed and when the disadvantageous update is performed.

  Also, when the advantageous update is performed, the numerical value slides in the vertical direction, but when the disadvantageous update is performed, the numerical value slides in the horizontal direction, so the player can see at a glance whether it is an advantageous update or an disadvantageous update Can be determined.

  (7) In the present embodiment, when the advantageous update is performed, sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54. By outputting such a sound (for example, a prize sound or a payout sound), it is possible to strongly impress the player with the advantageous update as compared with the disadvantageous update. Note that FIGS. 3 and 6 have described the case where both the advantageous update and the disadvantageous update are executed at one opportunity. In this case, a sound triggered by the advantageous update may be output. Further, since the disadvantageous update is being performed, the sound may not be output. On the other hand, when the disadvantageous update is performed without performing the advantageous update, no sound is output. As a result, the fact that the disadvantageous update has been performed can be made less noticeable to the player.

[Second embodiment]
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the above-described first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 9, the progress of the update is displayed both when increasing and decreasing. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the number of credits (main) A is updated from 0 to 8 in an increasing manner, “0” → “1” → “2” →. As described above, numerical values such as "1" and "2", which are in the process of updating from "0" to "8", are once displayed. Also, as shown in FIG. 9 (B), when the numerical value is updated from 11 to 8 in the credit amount (main) A, as in “11” → “10” → “9” → “8”, Numerical values such as "10" and "9", which are in the process of updating from "11" to "8", are once displayed. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, a description will be given of a case in which the update of the numerical value when the disadvantageous update is performed is performed without displaying the progress. Further, the same configurations and processes as those of the first embodiment are omitted, and different configurations and processes will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining how numerical values are updated in the second embodiment. FIG. 11A shows an update mode of a decrease update (unfavorable update) of the credit number (main) A, and FIG. 11B shows an update mode of an increase update (advantageous update) of the credit number (main) A. Show. FIG. 11 (C) shows an update mode of a decrease update (unfavorable update) of the acquired number (sub) E, and FIG. 11 (D) shows an update of an increase update (advantageous update) of the acquired number (sub) E. An embodiment will be described. Note that the update mode of FIG. 11B is the same as the update mode of FIG. 4A. Further, the update mode of FIG. 11D is the same as the update mode of FIG. 4B.

  In the first embodiment, when the disadvantageous update is performed, the numerical value is reduced by one and the numerical value is updated so as to display the progress. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11A and FIG. 11C, numerical values are displayed so that the final update result is displayed collectively from the numerical values before update without displaying the progress. Is updated. Specifically, based on the operation of the MAXBET switch 6, the credit amount (main) A is updated from "11" to "8" as shown in FIG. Further, in the example of FIG. 11A, the content is updated in a horizontal scrolling manner from “11” to “8”.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 11C, when the acquired number (sub) E is updated from “501” to “498” based on the operation of the start switch 7, “9” in the middle is obtained. "498" is displayed without displaying "500" or "500". In the example of FIG. 11C, “498” is displayed without performing the display control in the scroll mode.

  As a modified example, the numerical values may be updated from “501” to “498” in a horizontal scrolling mode in which the numerical values slide from right to left. In this case, “498” is displayed by updating the numerical value in the horizontal scroll mode without displaying “500” and “499”.

  On the other hand, when the numerical value is updated in an advantageous direction, the numerical value is updated one by one in a vertical scroll manner as shown in FIGS.

  As described above, when the numerical value is updated two or more in a favorable direction or a disadvantageous direction, if the numerical value is updated in a favorable direction, the progress of the update is displayed by updating one by one, while the disadvantageous direction is displayed. If the update is made, the final update result is displayed without displaying the progress of the update. Therefore, when the advantageous update is performed, the progress is displayed, so that the advantageous update can be more strongly impressed than the disadvantageous update.

  Also, when the idea of “displaying the final update result without displaying the progress of the update” is applied to the update in which the number of BETs (main) is reduced in FIG. The BETLED is turned off at once.

[Main Modifications]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[About 1st numerical value and 2nd numerical value]
(1) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that there are two types of numerical values (first numerical value and second numerical value) having different timings of increasing and updating by one update trigger. explained. However, the number of types of numerical values having different update timings at one update trigger may be three or more. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, the credit number (main) A is incremented and updated, the credit number (sub) F is incremented and thereafter, the acquired number (sub) E is incremented and updated. . According to such a configuration, it is possible to give a stronger impression to the player that the numerical value has been increased and updated as compared with the present embodiment.

  In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the description has been made on the assumption that there are two types of numerical values (the first numerical value and the second numerical value) with the same timing of decreasing and updating by one update trigger. However, the number of types of numerical values having the same timing of decreasing and updating by one update trigger may be three or more. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, the BET number (main) C decrease update control, the AT remaining number (sub) D decrease update control, and the BET number (sub) G decrease update control are executed at the same timing. You may make it. According to such a configuration, even when three or more types of numerical values are reduced and updated, it is possible to make the player not noticeable that the three or more types of numerical values are decreasing as much as possible. .

  (2) In the present embodiment, the description has been made assuming that the AT is managed by the net number of medals. It has been described that the AT remaining number (sub) D is displayed by such management as shown in FIG. However, the management method of the AT is not limited to this, and the AT may be managed by another method. For example, the AT may be managed by the number of games. When such a management method is adopted, for example, the number of AT remaining games (sub) may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 instead of the remaining AT number (sub) D. In addition, in such a management method, the number of AT remaining games is added when a winning is added. When the number of remaining AT games reaches zero, the AT ends. Even with such a configuration, the same effects as in the present embodiment can be obtained.

In the present embodiment, the main update timing of the numerical value by the main control unit 41 and the sub update timing of the numerical value by the sub control unit 91 are different from each other. However, the main update timing and the sub update timing may be the same. In the case of such a configuration, the update trigger or the like is indicated as [update trigger, first numerical value, second numerical value, type of update (whether increase update or decrease update), update timing]. For example, [lever-on operation, AT remaining game number (sub), acquired number (sub) E, decrease update, different timing] is the first numerical value of AT remaining game number when the lever-on operation is executed as an update trigger. (Sub) and the acquired number (sub) E which is the second numerical value are reduced and updated at different timings. The combinations are listed below.
-[Lever-on operation during AT, number of remaining AT games (sub), number of acquired (sub) E, decrease update, same timing]
-[Display result other than replay is derived, execution of MAXBET operation, number of credits (main) A, number of credits (sub) F, decrease update, same timing]
-[Derivation of display result (regardless of whether or not a prize is generated), BET number (main) C, BET number (sub) G, decrease update, same timing]
-[BET condition satisfied, BET number (main) C, BET number (sub) G, increase update, different timing]
-[Derivation of small part display result, "Number of credits (main) A, number of payouts (main) B, number of acquired (sub) E, number of credits (sub) F, AT remaining game when the rider wins" Any of the numbers "," a numerical value other than the first numerical value ", increasing update, different timing]
Even with such an update trigger, the first numerical value, the second numerical value, and the update timing, the same effects as those of the present embodiment can be obtained.

  (3) In the present embodiment, the description has been made assuming that the first numerical value increase update and the second numerical value increase update are executed at different timings. However, the first numerical value increase update and the second numerical value decrease update may be executed at different timings.

  Further, a configuration may be employed in which the first numerical value decrease update and the second numerical value decrease update are executed at different timings. This configuration will be further described. For example, by being updated in a decreasing manner, there is a first numerical value that is advantageous for the player and a second numerical value that is advantageous for the player. For example, the first numerical value is the number of games until the ceiling game number is reached. Here, the number of ceiling games is the number of games to which a predetermined privilege is given when the number of digested games reaches. The predetermined privilege is, for example, control to the AT. Thus, it can be said that the decreasing update of the first numerical value which is “the number of games until the ceiling game number is reached” is an advantageous update for the player.

  Next, the second numerical value will be described. For example, in a battle effect in which an enemy character and an ally character fight against each other, it is assumed that an advantageous privilege is provided when the ally character wins the battle. In this battle effect, when the enemy character's physical strength reaches 0, a battle win is achieved, and when the ally character's physical strength reaches 0, the battle is defeated. When such a battle effect is performed, the second numerical value may be used as the physical strength value of the enemy character. In this case, the fact that the numerical value is updated in the direction in which the enemy character's physical strength decreases means that the probability that the ally character will win and the possibility that the privilege will be given increases, so that the player This is a favorable update for.

  When the first numerical value and the second numerical value are adopted, for example, when a specific condition is satisfied, the first numerical value decrease update and the second numerical value decrease update are executed at different timings. Is also good. Here, the specific condition is satisfied when a predetermined operation (for example, a third stop) is executed in a game after the selected game, which is won by a random number lottery executed when the rare combination is won. Condition. According to such a configuration, when the specific condition is satisfied, the update control of the first numerical value and the update control of the second numerical value are started at different timings, so that a game in which these update controls are performed at the same timing. Compared to the game machine, the player can be strongly impressed that the numerical value has been updated.

  (4) Further, in the present embodiment, the description has been given assuming that the first numerical value decrease update and the second numerical value decrease update are executed at the same timing. However, a configuration may be employed in which the first numerical value increase update and the second numerical value increase update are executed at the same timing.

  This configuration will be further described. For example, there are a first numerical value and a second numerical value that are disadvantageous to the player due to being updated and increased. For example, let the first numerical value be the number of digestive games in AT. In the AT, when the number of digested games reaches a predetermined value, the AT ends. Therefore, it can be said that the increasing update of the first numerical value, which is the number of digested games in the AT, is a disadvantageous update for the player.

  Next, the second numerical value will be described. The second numerical value is the above-mentioned physical strength value of the enemy character. In this case, updating the numerical value in the direction in which the physical strength of the enemy character increases (recovers) means that the possibility that the ally character will win is reduced and the possibility that the privilege is given is reduced. This is a disadvantageous update for the player.

  When the first numerical value and the second numerical value are adopted, for example, the first numerical value increase update and the second numerical value increase update may be executed at the same timing. The specific condition is a random number lottery executed when the disadvantageous player wins, and is determined when the physical strength value of the enemy character is determined to increase and a predetermined operation (third stop operation) is executed. It may be a condition. Alternatively, the third stop operation may be a lever-on operation. According to such a configuration, when the specific condition is satisfied, the update control of the first numerical value and the update control of the second numerical value are started at the same timing. As compared with, the player can be strongly impressed that the numerical value has been updated.

  (5) Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described trigger, and any trigger may be used as long as it is near the trigger. For example, in FIG. 10, it has been described that the credit (main) A is updated at the time of deriving the small win display result. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the timing does not matter as long as the main control unit 41 performs the winning determination process and specifies the number of medals to be paid out. Specifically, the update may be performed at the timing when the MAXBET switch 8 is operated to start the next game. At this time, the number of medals bet (for example, three) bet by operating the MAXBET switch 8 from the payout of eight may be updated (that is, the number of medals to be purely increased). The winning determination process may be performed when the last operation is performed among the operations required to derive all the display results, or when the last operation is performed and all reels 2L to It may be performed when 2R stops.

  The update timing when the update trigger is the lever-on operation may be any timing as long as it is a timing near the operation. For example, the update timing may be a timing at which the rotation of three reels is started by the lever-on operation. For example, even if the lever-on operation is executed, the rotation of the three reels is not started unless the wait period has elapsed. The wait period refers to a period in which a predetermined period of time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has not elapsed from the start of the previous game, and the rotation of the reels is on standby. In view of such a situation, the trigger for updating the reference symbol R may be the trigger for the rotation of the three reels to start.

  The update timing at which the update trigger is a MAXBET operation may be any timing as long as the timing is in the vicinity of the operation. For example, by executing the MAXBET operation, the start timing of the bet amount setting may be set. The number setting end timing may be used. The update timing at which the update trigger is the derivation of the display result may be any timing as long as the timing is in the vicinity of the derivation of the display result. For example, a third timing for deriving the display result may be used. It may be a stop operation.

  (6) Further, the same number as the payout number (main) B may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In this case, the payout number (main) B can be displayed on both the game auxiliary display 12 and the liquid crystal display 51. Therefore, the payout number (main) B can be strongly impressed to the player.

  (7) In the example of FIG. 3, the timing at which the two numerical values (the number of credits (sub) F and the acquired number (sub) E) are increased and updated is the timing T3 at which the sub control unit 91 receives the payout start command. explained. However, the timing of the increased update may be when the specific condition is satisfied at the timing T3. Here, the specific condition may be, for example, a condition that is satisfied when a predetermined time (for example, one second) has elapsed.

  As a result, the timing for increasing and updating the first numerical value and the second numerical value can be made significantly different from the present embodiment. Therefore, it can be more strongly impressed that the information is updated. Further, the predetermined time may be determined by random number lottery. According to such a configuration, various update controls can be executed.

  (8) In the case where the first numerical value is updated by two or more values (for example, see FIG. 4A), the timing T3 of the start of increasing and updating the second numerical value is set to a predetermined number of the two or more values. The minute and the first numerical value may be updated. For example, when the predetermined number is “1”, the timing T3 may be the timing at which “1” is displayed on the credit (main). When the third numerical value other than the first numerical value and the second numerical value (the AT remaining number (sub) D in FIG. 3) is also increased and updated, the timing at which the third numerical value is updated is determined by the timing of updating the second numerical value or more. The timing at which the second numerical value is updated by a predetermined number may be used.

  According to such a configuration, while the start timing of the incremental update of each numerical value can be made different, the update of each numerical value can be synchronized. Therefore, each numerical value can be updated in a better appearance than when the numerical values are updated by 1 at different times.

  (9) Further, the period for updating a predetermined number (for example, 10) as a numerical value in the disadvantageous update may be shorter than the period for updating the predetermined number (for example, 10) as a numerical value in the advantageous update. For example, the period in which the first numerical value is increased by 10 in the advantageous update may be 5 seconds, and the period in which the first numerical value is decreased by 10 in the disadvantageous update may be 2 seconds. According to such a configuration, the time during which the advantageous update is performed can be lengthened, so that the player can be strongly impressed. On the other hand, since the time during which the advantageous update is being executed can be shortened, the fact that the unfavorable update is being executed can be made less noticeable to the player.

  (10) When displaying a plurality of types of numerical values (for example, first to third numerical values), at least one of the plurality of types of numerical values is displayed on the first display means, and the other numerical values are displayed. May be displayed on display means different from the first display means. Further, a plurality of types of numerical values may be displayed on one display means. In this case, the plurality of types of numerical values are displayed in different areas of one display unit.

  (11) In the example of FIG. 3, it has been described that the end timings are different because each of the three numerical values is increased and updated by the same number (“8” in the example of FIG. 3). However, regarding the increment update control of each of the three numerical values, the end timing of the increment update control of each of the three numerical values may be different regardless of the value to be incremented and updated of the three numerical values. For example, in the increment update of each of the first to third numerical values, the period in which the numerical value is incremented by “1” is set to be the same, the first numerical value is updated by “10”, the second numerical value is updated by “8”, The third numerical value is incremented and updated by “6”, the first numerical value is incremented and updated by “2”, the second numerical value is incremented and updated, and the second numerical value is incremented and updated by “2”. When the incremental update is started, the end timing of the numerical update is the same in the configuration of the present embodiment. Even in such a situation, in the present modification, the end timing of the increment update of each numerical value may be forcibly made different. For example, in the increment update of each numerical value, the end timing of the increment update of each numerical value may be made different by making the period of increment update of “1” different.

  (12) In the example of FIG. 6, it has been described that the timings at which the three numerical value decrease update controls end are different from each other. However, in the decrease update control of each of the three numerical values, the timing at which the decrease update control of each of the three numerical values ends may be the same regardless of the numerical value to be updated. According to such a configuration, regardless of the numerical value to be reduced and updated, the timing at which the reduced update control of each of the three numerical values starts is the same, and the timing at which the reduced update control of each of the three numerical values ends is the same. . For example, in the increment update of each numerical value, the timing at which the decrease update control of each of the three numerical values ends may be the same by making the period of the decrease update of “1” different. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the decrease in the three numerical values less noticeable to the player as much as possible.

  (13) In the present embodiment, the MAXBET switch 6 is exemplified as a means for setting the bet amount, but a single BET switch may be provided instead of the MAXBET switch 6 or in addition to the MAXBET switch 6. It may be. In such a configuration, the trigger for updating the reference symbol P is not limited to the operation on the MAX BET switch, but may be the operation on the single BET switch. Even with such a configuration, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained.

  (14) Also, for example, in FIG. 3, the period in which the numerical value is updated by 1 has been described as being the same as the period in which the main control unit 41 updates and the period in which the sub-control unit 91 updates. However, the period for updating the numerical value by 1 may be different between the period for updating by the main control unit 41 and the period for updating by the sub-control unit 91. According to such a configuration, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in designing the control for updating the numerical values of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91.

  (15) In the present embodiment, the remaining number of ATs (sub) D is updated by subtracting the same number of net additions as that of the leading role in the game in which the pushing order small role is won, regardless of whether or not the leading role is derived. Was explained. However, for example, when a non-prize-winning display result or a sub combination with a smaller number of payouts than the bet amount is derived, the AT remaining number (sub) D may not be subtracted. In this case, for example, in a game in which the small push order is won during the AT, the player operates in an operation order different from the corresponding operation order due to an erroneous operation of the player, so that the result of the non-winning display or the number of bets can be reduced. Even when a sub-combination with a small number of payouts is derived, it is possible to prevent the AT remaining number (sub) D from being subtracted. Therefore, a player who has performed such an erroneous operation can be rescued.

  (16) In a case where two or more types of numerical values are incrementally updated, a period during which at least one of the two or more types of numerical values is incrementally updated (advantageously updated) is referred to as an “increase period”. Further, when two or more types of numerical values are reduced and updated (unfavorable update), a period in which at least one of the two or more types of numerical values is reduced and updated is referred to as a “reduction period”. Regardless of what numerical values are used to increase and decrease the number of updates, the increase period may be longer than the decrease period. According to such a configuration, the period during which the advantageous update is performed can be made longer than the period during which the advantageous update is performed, so that the advantageous update can be more strongly impressed than the disadvantageous update.

  (17) In the case where two or more numerical values are increased and updated, of the two or more types of numerical values, a numerical value that the main control unit 41 increases and updates (hereinafter, referred to as a main-side updated numerical value) and a sub-control unit 91. Includes a numerical value (hereinafter, referred to as a sub-side update numerical value) that increases the update timing of the main control unit 41 even earlier than the update update timing of the sub-control unit 91. Good. In other words, the update update of the main control unit 41 may be executed prior to the update update of the sub control unit 91. According to such a configuration. Since the process of the main control unit 41 for controlling the progress of the game is executed with priority, the game can be stably advanced. Further, the sub-control unit 91 executes a process based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Accordingly, since the main control unit 41 can execute the update control in the flow of increasing the main-side updated numerical value → transmitting the command → the sub-control unit 91 increasing and updating the sub-side updated numerical value, smooth update control can be performed.

  (18) In the example of FIG. 6, it has been described that the BETLED extinguishing process is executed at the beginning of the game end process. However, the BETLED extinguishing process may be executed during the game end process. Even with such a configuration, since the timing of the BETLED extinguishing process in the game end process can be made variable, the degree of freedom of the designer can be increased.

  (19) Also, after updating the payout number (main) B first by the display of the game auxiliary display 12, the number of credits (main) A and the acquired number ( Sub) E may be updated. In this way, after the player confirms the number of medals to be paid out, the number of medals is increased by the number of credits and the net increase by the number of paid out medals. The player can intuitively recognize. Further, the trigger for updating the reference symbol Q may be a trigger for starting the medal payout process by deriving the small combination display result.

  (20) In the examples of FIGS. 3 and 6, it has been described that the payout start command is transmitted at the start of the payout process. However, any timing may be used as long as the timing is transmitted at a timing related to the payout process. For example, the payout start command may be transmitted as a payout command during the payout process.

[About the operation mode of updating the numerical value]
In the above-described embodiment, the operation mode of the numerical value update is the scroll mode. However, the operation mode of the numerical value update may be different between when the advantageous update is performed and when the disadvantageous update is performed. With reference to FIG. 12, a modification of the mode of updating numerical values will be described. FIG. 12 shows an update mode when the credit amount displayed on the credit amount (main) A is updated. Pattern A indicates a state of update when an advantageous update in which the number of credits is increased is performed. Pattern B indicates the state of update when a disadvantageous update in which the number of credits is reduced is performed.

  In pattern A and pattern B, pattern A is updated five times before displaying "8", whereas pattern B is updated three times. In this way, the final display result may be displayed after performing more intermediate displays when the advantageous update is performed than when the disadvantageous update is performed. By doing so, the update time is longer in the case of the advantageous update than in the case of the disadvantageous update, and the interest of the game is improved.

  Also, in pattern A and pattern B, the light is turned on from the right side in pattern A until “8” is displayed, whereas in pattern B, the light is turned on from the left side. As described above, by changing the mode of displaying numerical values between the time when the advantageous update is performed and the time when the disadvantageous update is performed, the player can determine whether the advantageous update has been performed or the disadvantageous update has been performed. It can be easily recognized.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the numerical value moves in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, but may move diagonally. In addition, although it moves vertically when the advantageous update is performed and the disadvantageous update is performed, the update is performed in such a manner that the numerical value moves from top to bottom when the advantageous update is performed. When the update is performed, the update may be performed in such a manner that the numerical value moves from bottom to top.

  Also, when updating two or more digits, when the advantageous update is performed, the numbers are updated one by one, whereas when the disadvantageous update is performed, the digits are updated one by one. Is also good. For example, to update “50” to “70”, update “50”, “51”, and “52”, whereas to update “50” to “47”, update “50”. After "57", "47" may be set.

  Further, the update speed of the numerical value may be different. For example, in the case where the advantageous update and the disadvantageous update are updated by three numbers, the period between the start of the update and the display of the final update result is shorter in the disadvantageous update than in the advantageous update. You may make it become.

[About highlighting updates]
In the above-described embodiment, while the advantageous update is performed, the sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54, whereas the disadvantageous update is performed, the sound is not output. The method of impressing the advantageous update more strongly than the disadvantageous update is not limited to this.

  For example, when the advantageous update in which the number of medals is increased is performed and the disadvantageous update in which the number of medals is decreased is performed, the sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54, but the advantageous update is the disadvantageous update. The volume may be increased as compared to. By doing so, it is possible to strongly impress the player with the advantageous update as compared with the disadvantageous update. When the advantageous update is performed, a sound that is easier to hear may be output than when the disadvantageous update is performed.

  In addition, when the advantageous update is performed, the LED provided in the gaming machine is lit, whereas when the disadvantageous update is performed, the LED is not lit, or the light amount is reduced and lit as compared to when the advantageous update is performed. It may be.

[About numerical values]
In the above-described embodiment, as the numerical values, information on the number of medals held by the player and information on the period during which the player is controlled to an advantageous state such as AT are exemplified. However, the numerical value may be any information that is represented by a numerical value that is updated in an advantageous or disadvantageous direction. For example, in a gaming machine in which a lottery is performed to determine whether or not a privilege such as an AT is to be granted when points are accumulated at a predetermined value or more, an update in which the points are increased is an advantageous update, The reduced update may be a disadvantageous update.

[About gaming machines]
In the above embodiment, the slot machine that pays out the game medium to the player according to the occurrence of the prize has been described. However, the game medium is enclosed, and the game medium is paid to the player at the time of the occurrence of the prize. A sealed slot machine that increases the number of game points (scores) without using a slot machine may be employed. The base and the drum can be distributed and the housing is common, and only the base or the base and the drum are referred to as a gaming machine. Further, the slot machine includes a game area in which a game ball can be fired to play a game, and a bet amount can be set in accordance with a game ball passing through a predetermined area provided in the game area. You may.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the slot machine 1 is used as the gaming machine has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any gaming machine capable of playing a game may be used. For example, the present invention is applied to a so-called pachinko gaming machine. You can also. For example, in a pachinko gaming machine in which a game medium (pachinko ball) is driven into a predetermined game area to play a game, the driven pachinko ball passes through a starting area provided in the game area, thereby storing numerical data on hold. At the same time, the number of times (number) of the reserved storage is displayed on the liquid crystal display as the reserved storage information. Thereafter, based on the hold storage information, the game control unit controls the first special symbol display device in the special symbol game and the second special symbol display device in the second special symbol display device. . In addition, by executing the variable display once, the display of one pending storage information is deleted. In addition, based on a random number extracted by driving the pachinko ball through the starting area provided in the game area, whether or not to generate a big hit, when a big hit is generated, after the big hit ends, the big hit will be a big hit The control is performed until the variable display is performed a predetermined number of times (hereinafter, referred to as ST number) in the probable change state in which the probability is higher than the normal state. The ST count (ST remaining count) is displayed on the liquid crystal display. Further, the number of STs is reduced by one by executing the variable display once.

  As described above, when the variable display is executed once (when the special condition is satisfied), the decrement update (unfavorable update) control for deleting the display of the one hold storage information (first numerical value) and the one ST Decrease update (unfavorable update) control for decreasing the number of times (second numerical value) is executed at the same timing. Even with such a configuration, the same effects as those of the slot machine of the present embodiment can be obtained.

  Further, in such a pachinko gaming machine, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are paid out when a pachinko ball wins a winning port including a starting winning port. The liquid crystal display includes, for example, the total number of pachinko balls paid out during the jackpot (first numerical value) and the number of pachinko balls paid out once the pachinko ball has won the winning opening (second numerical value). Is displayed. As described above, when a pachinko ball is won in the winning opening during the big hit (when the special condition is satisfied), the increase update that increases the total payout number (first numerical value) of the pachinko balls paid out during the big hit. (Advantageous update) control and increase update (advantageous update) control for increasing the number of paid-out pachinko balls (second numerical value) when the pachinko ball has won the winning port once are executed at different timings. Even with such a configuration, the same effects as those of the slot machine of the present embodiment can be obtained.

  As a numerical value in such a pachinko gaming machine, as the information on the total number of game balls paid out by winning the big winning opening during the jackpot game, as information indicating the number of times to be controlled to the positive change state or the time saving state Good. For example, if the number of game balls hit is counted and the number used is reduced from the total number of payouts during the jackpot game, the display mode may differ between the updating of the disadvantageous value and the updating of the advantageous value. I just need. In addition, for pachinko gaming machines that can add the number of time savings during the time saving state, updating the disadvantageous number when the number of time savings decreases with each fluctuation display and updating the advantageous value when adding the number of time savings Thus, the display mode may be changed.

[About gaming devices connected to gaming machines]
In addition, the technical matters relating to the updating of the numerical values described above can be applied to a gaming machine used in a game arcade (a so-called hall) in which a gaming machine such as a slot machine or a pachinko gaming machine is installed. As the gaming device, for example, a device provided for each gaming machine installed in a game arcade, and a process (for example, a medal, a pachinko ball, etc.) for enabling a game with the gaming machine is provided. And a display device capable of displaying information such as a game history of the gaming machine or a gaming machine installed in the gaming arcade.

  In this information display, for example, based on the number of remaining AT games (first numerical value) and the number of coins paid out from the gaming machine since the game arcade was opened, the number of medals used in the gaming machine is determined. Is displayed and the net increase number (second numerical value) of the gaming machine is displayed.

  Further, when the lever-on operation is executed (when the specific condition is satisfied), the subtraction update control for subtracting 1 from the first numerical value and the subtraction update control for subtracting 3 from the second numerical value are executed at the same timing. Is done. Further, when the additional winning is made and the small role wins (when the specific condition is satisfied), the first numerical value is increased by the determined number of additional games, and the second numerical value is increased. The incremental update control is executed at a different timing. As described above, even when the present invention is applied to a gaming machine different from a slot machine and various types of gaming machines, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  The embodiments disclosed this time are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.

  1 slot machine, 2L, 2C, 2R reel, 8L, 8C, 8R stop switch, 51 liquid crystal display.
