By the way, a gaming machine as disclosed in Patent Document 1 may be provided with a predetermined lottery state in which it is determined whether or not to shift to a gaming state advantageous to a player (for example, ART game).

When such a predetermined lottery state is provided, when there is a possibility of shifting from the replay low probability state to the replay high probability state or from the replay high probability state to the replay low probability state during the predetermined lottery state, transition It is necessary to store the lottery table as described above for each game state that is likely to be played.
That is, when the winning probability of a specific winning combination (for example, a replay winning combination) fluctuates during a predetermined lottery state, there is a problem that the number of drawing tables increases and the storage area is pressed .

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and in a predetermined lottery state in which it is determined whether or not to shift to a gaming state that is advantageous to the player, the probability of winning a specific winning combination may change. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of performing an appropriate lottery without pressing the storage area even if there is .

The present invention is a symbol display means (for example, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R and the display window 4) for variably displaying a plurality of symbols in a plurality of columns, and an internal winning combination determining means for determining an internal winning combination (for example, by the main CPU 93). Internal lottery process), a symbol variation start control unit (for example, reel rotation start process and reel control process by the main CPU 93) for starting the variation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display unit, and displayed on the symbol display unit. Symbol fluctuation stop control means (for example, reel stop control processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 93) for stopping fluctuation of symbols, and a specific winning combination (for example, "RT2 maintenance lip" which is a replay winning combination) by the internal winning combination determining means. A high-probability state in which the probability of being determined is high (for example, RT2 gaming state) and a low-probability state in which the probability that the specific winning combination is determined by the internal winning combination determining means is low (for example, RT0 game). State or RT1 game state), and, based on the satisfaction of a predetermined transition condition, the probability state control means (for example, by the main CPU93) to control the transition between the high probability state and the low probability state. State management processing and bonus end check processing), and advantageous game state control means (for example, sub CPU 102) for controlling to a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) in which a procedure of a stop operation advantageous for the player is notified. , Advantageous game state lottery means (for example, the sub CPU 102) for lottery whether or not to shift to the specific advantageous game state, and the advantageous game state lottery means is the high probability state by the probability state control means. Alternatively, a predetermined lottery state (for example, item CZ) can be executed regardless of which of the low probability states is controlled, and is determined by the internal winning combination determination means in the predetermined lottery state. Based on the internal winning combination and a specific lottery table (for example, the ART lottery table in the item CZ shown in FIG. 49), a lottery is conducted as to whether or not to shift to the specific advantageous game state. , At least when the specific winning combination and a predetermined winning combination (for example, “miss”) determined with high probability in the low probability state are determined as the internal winning combination, the specific advantageous game state is transitioned to. define the lowest probability is determined (e.g., a defined lottery value in the column of "Others" in the ART lottery table in item CZ shown in FIG. 49), the probability state controlling means, the predetermined lottery state At the high probability state It is possible to shift to the low-probability state according to the predetermined transition condition when controlled to, and is controlled to the high-probability state by the probability state control means in the predetermined lottery state. In this case, the gaming machine is characterized by further comprising a specific notifying means capable of notifying a procedure of a stop operation for not shifting to the low probability state .

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, the number of lottery tables used in a predetermined lottery state (for example, item CZ) in which it is determined whether or not the game state is advantageous for the player (for example, ART game). Can be reduced and the storage area can be prevented from being pressed.

Further, according to the gaming machine of the present invention, the player is identified from a high probability state (for example, RT2 game state) in which there is a high probability that the player intentionally determines a particular combination (for example, a replay combination). Even if a low probability state in which the probability of being determined is a low probability (for example, RT0 gaming state or RT1 gaming state), it is not possible to take advantage of the lottery, so for the player Whether to shift to an advantageous game state (for example, ART game) can be appropriately drawn by lottery.

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, even in a case where the winning probability of a specific combination may change in a predetermined lottery state in which it is determined whether or not to shift to a gaming state that is advantageous to the player. Therefore, it is possible to perform an appropriate lottery without pressing the storage area .

<Latching operation detection means>
The inserting operation detecting means detects an inserting operation of a game medium such as a medal or a coin by a player. When the insertion operation of a predetermined number of game media (for example, three medals) is detected, the detection of the start operation by the start operation detection unit described later is permitted. In addition, a predetermined winning line is activated in the symbol display means described later (hereinafter, the activated winning line is referred to as "effective line"). In the present embodiment, the selector 66 that detects insertion of medals by the player and the BET switch 77 that detects operation of the BET button 22 by the player constitute insertion operation detection means. The types of game media that can be detected are not limited to medals, and include coins, tokens, game balls, electromagnetic game media having a value equivalent to these, and the like.

<Starting operation detecting means>
The start operation detecting means detects a start operation by the player. When the start operation is detected, the variable display of symbols by the symbol display means described later is started. Further, the random number value used when the internal winning combination determining means described later determines the internal winning combination is extracted from within a predetermined numerical value range (for example, 0 to 65535). In addition, the random number value for production which is used when the production control means which is mentioned later decides production is extracted from within the numerical range which is decided beforehand (for example, 0-32767). In the present embodiment, the start switch 79 for detecting the operation of the start lever 23 by the player constitutes a start operation detecting means. It should be noted that the types, the number, and the numerical range of the random number values to be extracted are not limited to this, and the random number values of the required number in the game can be extracted from within the predetermined numerical range. ..

<Means for determining internal winning positions>
The internal winning combination determination means performs a lottery based on the extracted random number value and determines an internal winning combination from a plurality of predetermined winning combinations. That is, the combination of symbols permitted to be displayed on the activated line is determined by the determination of the internal winning combination. In the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91, which refers to various tables and executes the internal lottery process based on the extracted random number value, constitutes an internal winning combination determining means. The types of symbol combinations include those related to "winning prizes" in which benefits such as payout of medals, operation of replay (replay), operation of bonuses, etc. are given to the player, and other so-called "miss". The related items are provided.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 can perform control such that the progress of the game is stopped (the game operation of the player is invalidated). Such control is called "lock" (or "freeze"). For the sake of convenience, the control for stopping the progress of the game executed at the start of the game is referred to as "game start lock", and the control for stopping the progress of the game executed at the end of game is called "lock at the end of game". Call. That is, the "game start lock" is a control in which the progress of the game is stopped in the sense that the operation to the stop button is not effective for a predetermined period after the start lever is operated, "Lock at the end of game" means that the operation of the bet button or the operation of the start lever is not effective for a predetermined period after the stop button is operated, and the game progress is stopped. Control. Of course, the trigger for the “lock” is not limited to the above, and for example, after the start lever is operated and one of the stop buttons is operated, the subsequent operation is effective for a predetermined period. It is good also as performing control which does not become.

Here, the internal winning combination determination means can perform a lottery based on the extracted random number value, and can determine whether to perform “lock” instead of the internal winning combination or together with the internal winning combination. In this case, a plurality of random number values are extracted, an internal winning combination is determined based on one of the random number values, and whether or not to perform "lock" is determined based on another one of the random number values. May be

<Design display means>
The symbol display means variably displays a plurality of symbols in a plurality of columns. That is, when the start operation is detected by the start operation detecting means, the variable display of the symbol is started, and when the stop control is executed by the stop control means described later, the variable display of the symbol is ended. In the present embodiment, the plurality of reels 3L, 3C, 3R and the reel display window 4 constitute a symbol display means. The symbol display means is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a symbol image display means (for example, an image display device) that variably displays a plurality of symbol images in a plurality of columns.

<Stop operation detection means>
The stop operation detecting means detects a stop operation by the player. When the stop operation is detected, the variable display of the symbols by the symbol display means is stopped by the stop control means described later. In the present embodiment, the stop switch board 80 that detects the operation of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R by the player constitutes a stop operation detecting means.

It should be noted that the reel stop operation performed first while all reels are rotating is the first stop operation, the stop operation performed after the first stop operation is the second stop operation, and the second stop operation is next. The stop operation performed is called a third stop operation.

<Stop control means>
The stop control means controls the stop of the variable display of the symbols on the symbol display means. That is, when a stop operation is detected by the stop operation detecting means, the variable display of symbols on the symbol display means is stopped based on the stop control information set according to the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means. Control. In the present embodiment, when the player operates the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R, various stop control information is referred to, and reel stop control processing for stopping the rotation of the corresponding reels 3L, 3C, 3R is executed. The main control circuit 91 that constitutes a stop control means.

Here, in the pachi-slot machine 1, basically, control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel within a specified time (190 msec or 75 msec) from when the stop button is pressed. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols that move with the rotation of the reel within the specified time is referred to as the “number of sliding pieces”. When the prescribed period is 190 msec, the maximum number of sliding pieces is set to 4 symbols, and when the prescribed period is 75 msec, the maximum number of sliding pieces is set to 1 symbol. The maximum number of sliding pieces is not limited to these and can be set as appropriate.

The stop control means, according to the result of the determination of the internal winning combination, regarding the combination of the symbols which are permitted to be displayed, the above specified time is used so that the combination of the symbols is displayed as much as possible along the activated line. The rotation of the reel is stopped within the maximum number of sliding pieces.

On the other hand, according to the decision result of the internal winning combination, for the combination of symbols that are not allowed to be displayed, the maximum sliding piece is used so as not to be displayed along the effective line by using the above specified time. Stop spinning the reels within a range of numbers.

In addition, the stop control means is such that the determined internal winning combination changes the combination of symbols displayed according to a predetermined stop operation order (for example, the order in which a plurality of stop buttons are operated). At some time, the control for stopping the rotation of the corresponding reel is performed by also referring to the predetermined stop operation sequence.

<Winning determination means>
The winning determination means determines whether or not there is a winning according to the combination of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means. That is, when the variable display of the symbols is stopped by the stop control means, the winning or non-winning of the winning combination is determined based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the activated line. In the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91, which refers to the symbol combination table and the like, and executes the prize search processing based on the symbol combination displayed on the symbol display means, constitutes a prize determination means.

<Profit-making means>
When the winning determination means determines that there is a winning, the profit giving means gives a profit according to the combination of the winning symbols. That is, according to the combination of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means, the corresponding profit is given to the player. In the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91 that executes the medal payout process and the like based on the result of the prize search process constitutes a profit giving means. When the profit to be given is given by the control of the sub control circuit 101, the sub control circuit 101 constitutes a profit giving means.

It should be noted that the profit given by the profit giving means is not limited to this.

As described above, in the pachi-slot machine 1, when the player's input operation is detected by the input operation detection means and the player's start operation is detected by the start operation detection means, the internal winning combination determination means etc. Is determined and the variable display of symbols by the symbol display means is started. Then, when the stop operation detecting means detects the stop operation of the player, the stop control means controls the variable display of the symbols by the symbol display means to stop, and the combination of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means is the winning determination means. When it is determined that the winning combination is a combination of symbols, the profit giving means gives a profit according to the combination of symbols. The above-described series of flows is performed as one game (unit game) in the pachi-slot machine.

<Production control means>
The effect control means carries out a lottery based on the extracted random number value for effect and other information (for example, information on the internal winning combination), and determines the one to be executed this time from a plurality of kinds of effects. Moreover, the effect control means controls the effect execution means described later so that the determined effect is appropriately executed. In this embodiment, the sub-control circuit 101 refers to various tables, determines the effect contents based on at least the extracted random number for effect, and executes the effect in accordance with the determined effect contents. Constitutes a means. It should be noted that the above-mentioned “lock” can also be one aspect of the effect. In this case, the main control circuit 91 constitutes an effect control means.

Further, the effect control means, when a predetermined notification condition is satisfied, determines an effect for notifying the player of information necessary for the game (for example, information regarding the stop operation sequence and information regarding the game history). In this case, the effect control means can also be called notification control means.

<Direction execution means>
The production execution means executes the production determined by the production control means. That is, it means various devices used for production such as a display device and a lamp for performing a visual appeal, a speaker for performing an auditory appeal, a production button for performing a tactile appeal, and the like. In the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display device 11, the LED 85, and the speakers 42, 58, 64, 65L, 65R form an effect executing means. The effect execution means is not limited to these, and may be, for example, a movable body (feature) provided at a position visible from the front side of the pachi-slot machine 1, or a plurality of reels (for example, The production may be performed by variably displaying the reels 3L, 3C, 3R) in a production mode different from the normal display mode of variable display.

Further, when the effect control means determines, by the effect control means, an effect for notifying the player of information necessary for the game (for example, information regarding the stop operation sequence and information regarding the game history), It informs the player of the information. In this case, the effect execution means can also be called notification means.

The main RAM 95 is provided with a storage area for storing various data such as an internal winning combination determined by executing the control program.

A clock pulse generation circuit 96, a frequency divider 97, a random number generator 98, and a sampling circuit 99 are connected to the main CPU 93. The clock pulse generation circuit 96 and the frequency divider 97 generate clock pulses. The main CPU 93 executes the control program based on the generated clock pulse. The random number generator 98 generates a random number within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 65535). The sampling circuit 99 extracts one value from the generated random numbers.

The main CPU 93 counts the number of times the pulse is output to the stepping motor of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R after detecting the reel index. Thereby, the main CPU 93 manages the rotation angle of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R (mainly, how many symbols the reel has rotated). The reel index is information indicating that the reel has made one rotation. This reel index is provided, for example, at a predetermined position of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R with an optical sensor having a light emitting part and a light receiving part, and the light emitting part and the light receiving part are formed by the rotation of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. It is detected by a reel position detection unit (not shown) having a detection piece interposed therebetween.

Here, the management of the rotation angle of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R will be specifically described. The number of pulses output to the stepping motor is counted by a pulse counter provided in the main RAM 95. Then, each time the pulse counter counts the output of a predetermined number of pulses (for example, 16 times) required for rotating one symbol, the symbol counter provided in the main RAM 95 is incremented by one. The symbol counter is provided for each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. The value of the symbol counter is cleared when the reel index is detected by the reel position detector (not shown).

That is, in the present embodiment, by managing the symbol counter, the number of symbols rotated after the reel index is detected is managed. Therefore, the position of each symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is detected with reference to the position at which the reel index is detected.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of sliding pieces is set to 4 symbols. Therefore, for example, when the left stop button 19L is pressed, the symbol of the left reel 3L in the middle stage of the reel display window 4 and each symbol within the range up to four symbols ahead of the symbol are displayed on the reel display window 4. The pattern can be stopped in the middle.

[Change of game state]
Next, with reference to FIG. 10, a game state of the pachi-slot machine 1 will be described. The main CPU 93, as a gaming state of the pachi-slot machine 1, a general gaming state (RT0 gaming state, RT1 gaming state, RT2 gaming state, RT3 gaming state or RT4 gaming state) and a BB gaming state (PBB gaming state, BB RT0 gaming state). , BB in RT2 gaming state or BB in RB gaming state), respectively.

<Change in general gaming state>
As shown in FIG. 10, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the RT0 gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, the RT3 gaming state and the RT4 gaming state are defined as the general gaming state. In addition, "RT" is an abbreviation for "replay time", and the RT0 to RT4 gaming states are gaming states for identifying that the winning probabilities of the replay roles, which are the operating roles of the replay, are different.

In the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state, the winning probability of the replay role is set to “8978/65536” (see FIG. 16), and in the RT2 gaming state and the RT3 gaming state, the winning probability of the replay role is “41792/65536”. It is set (see FIG. 16). In the RT4 gaming state, the winning probability of the replay combination is set to "12000/65536". That is, the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state are replay low probability states (low RT gaming states) in which the winning probability of the replay combination is relatively low as compared with the RT2 to 4 gaming states, and the RT2 gaming state and the RT3 gaming state. Is a replay high probability state (high RT gaming state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination is relatively high compared to the RT0 gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, and the RT4 gaming state. Also, in the RT4 gaming state, the winning probability of the replay role is relatively high as compared with the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state, but the winning probability of the replay role is relatively low as compared with the RT2 gaming state and the RT3 gaming state. It is a medium probability state (middle RT game state).

The winning probability of the replay combination in each RT game state (including the PBB game state, the BB RT0 game state, the BB RT2 game state, and the BB RB game state, which will be described later) is limited to that described above (or later). Instead, it can be set appropriately. For example, the winning probability of the replay role in the RT3 gaming state is set to be higher than the winning probability of the replay role in the RT2 gaming state, and the winning probability of the replay role gradually increases from the RT1 gaming state to the RT3 gaming state. It may be configured as follows. Further, for example, the winning probability of the replay combination in the RT4 gaming state may be set to be the same as or equal to the winning probability of the replay combination in the RT2 gaming state and the RT3 gaming state.

The state where the pachi-slot machine 1 is first installed in the game hall, the backup error of the main RAM 95 in the pachi-slot machine 1 occurs, and the entire storage area is initialized (initial state), the set value of the pachi-slot machine 1 is changed. When (after setting change), or when the PBB game state, the BB RT0 game state, or the BB RB game state, which will be described later, ends, the game state is shifted to the RT0 game state.

In the RT0 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, or the RT3 gaming state, when a combination of symbols of any of the RT1 transition lips 1 to 16 described later is won, or a combination of symbols of the RT1 transition symbols 1 to 8 is effective. When displayed on the line, the game state is shifted to the RT1 game state.

In the RT1 gaming state, when the combination of symbols of the RT2 shifting lip 1 or the RT2 shifting lip 2 described later is won, the gaming state is shifted to the RT2 gaming state. In addition, in the RT2 gaming state, when the combination of the symbols of the RT3 transition lip 1 or the RT3 transition lip 2 described later is won, the gaming state is shifted to the RT3 gaming state.

In the case of internally winning a bonus combination (PBB or any one of BB1 to BB4 described later in this embodiment) that is a bonus operating combination in the RT0 game state, the RT1 game state, the RT2 game state, or the RT3 game state. In, the game state is shifted to the RT4 game state. The internal winning state of the bonus combination is maintained from the time when the internal winning is won until the winning of the prize. This is called "carryover", and the bonus role is also called "carryover". The RT4 game state, which is the internal winning state of the bonus combination, is also called "between flags". The bonus combination is drawn only in the RT0 to RT3 gaming states, and is not drawn in the RT4 gaming state and the BB gaming state described later (except the BB in the BB in the BB in RT0 gaming state).

In addition, the transition trigger of each RT gaming state is not limited to the above-mentioned one, but can be set appropriately. For example, the RT gaming state may be shifted with another transition trigger that a predetermined number of games have been played after one transition trigger has been established. Moreover, it is also possible to employ only a part of the above-mentioned transition triggers.

<Change of BB game state>
As shown in FIG. 10, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as the BB game state, the PBB game state, the BB RT0 game state, the BB RT2 game state, or the BB RB game state is defined. It should be noted that “BB” is an abbreviation for “big bonus”, and “RB” is an abbreviation for “regular bonus”. Further, “BB” is also called “a role product continuous actuation device related to a type 1 special accessory”, and “RB” is also called a “type 1 special effect item”. It should be noted that it is also possible to adopt “the accessory continuous operation device relating to the second type special accessory” as “BB” and adopt the “second type special accessory” as “RB”. The PBB gaming state and the BB mid-RB gaming state are gaming states that are advantageous to the player because they are gaming states in which the winning probability of the small winning combination is relatively high compared to the general gaming state. In the BB gaming state, the payout of medals exceeding the specified number (297 in the PBB gaming state, 44 in the BB RT0 gaming state, BB RT2 gaming state and BB RB gaming state) during the BB gaming state If there is, it ends.

In the RT4 game state, when a combination of symbols of PBB described later is won, the game state is shifted to the PBB game state. Further, in the PBB game state, when the medals are paid out in excess of the specified number (297), the game state is shifted to the RT0 game state.

In the RT4 gaming state, if any of the combinations of symbols of BB1 to 4 described later is won, the gaming state is shifted to the RT0 gaming state in the BB. Also, in the BB RT0 game state, if the number of medals paid out exceeds the specified number (44), the game state is shifted to the RT0 game state. In addition, in the BB RT0 game state, when the internal winning of the BB BB is made before the payout of the medals exceeding the specified number (44), the game state is shifted to the BB RT2 game state. The RT2 gaming state in the BB is a high replay probability state (high RT gaming state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination is relatively high as compared with the RT0 gaming state in the BB (see FIG. 17).

In the BB RT2 game state, when the medals are paid out in excess of the specified number (44), the game state is shifted to the RT2 game state. That is, in the BB game state that shifts based on the winning of a combination of symbols of BB1 to 4 described later, a high replay probability state (high RT game state) based on the fact that the RB in the BB is internally won. When the BB game state ends as it is, the replay high probability state (high RT game state) is taken over even in the general game state after the BB game state ends. On the other hand, in the BB in RT2 gaming state, if a RB in BB is won before the medals have been paid out exceeding the specified number (44), the BB in RB gaming state is entered, and in the BB in RB gaming state. , If the number of medals paid out exceeds the specified number (44), the game state is shifted to the RT0 game state. That is, even if the RB in the BB shifts to the replay high probability state (high RT gaming state) based on the internal winning of the RB in the BB, if the RB in the BB wins, the general game after the end of the BB gaming state The state becomes a replay low probability state (low RT game state).

It should be noted that the BB middle RB game state ends on the basis of winning the small winning combination 8 times or playing 12 times the game, but in the present embodiment, in most cases, any of these will occur. Before the end condition is satisfied, the end condition of the BB game state (the payout of medals exceeding the specified number (44) has been paid) is satisfied, so RT0 after the end of the BB mid-game state It is supposed to shift to the gaming state. Therefore, if the end condition of the BB in RB game state is satisfied, and if the end condition of the BB in-game state is not satisfied yet, the game state is changed based on that the end condition of the RB in BB game state is satisfied. It will be transferred to the RT0 game state during BB. In this way, the RT0 gaming state in the BB (including the RT2 gaming state in the BB) is also referred to as the "BB general gaming state" because it is a state in which it has not transitioned to the RB in BB gaming state in the BB gaming state.

[Data table stored in main ROM]
Next, various data tables stored in the main ROM 94 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 19.

<Design placement table>
The symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 11 represents an arrangement of symbols arranged on the surface of each of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R. The symbol arrangement table defines a correspondence relationship between 20 symbol positions “0” to “19” and symbols corresponding to each of these symbol positions.

The symbol position data “0” to “19” indicate the positions of symbols arranged along the rotation direction in each of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R. The symbols corresponding to the symbol positions “0” to “19” can be specified by referring to the symbol arrangement table using the value of the symbol counter.

The types of symbols are "red 7", "red BAR", "white BAR", "black BAR", "bell", "replay 1", "replay 2", "watermelon", "cherry" and "blank". Is included.

Here, "replay 1" and "replay 2" may be any symbols that the main CPU 93 can identify internally as different symbols, and in the present embodiment, a symbol that can be recognized by the player as the same symbol. I am trying. Hereinafter, "replay 1" and "replay 2" are collectively referred to as "replay".

<Design code table>
As shown in FIG. 12, each symbol arranged on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is specified by a symbol code table, and in the present embodiment, distinguished by 2 bytes (16 bits) of data. The symbol code table shown in FIG. 12 represents a symbol code as data for specifying the symbols arranged on the surfaces of the three reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

For example, the symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 11 has been described as indicating the arrangement of symbols arranged on the surface of each of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R, but is actually stored in the main ROM 94. The symbol arrangement table that is shown represents an array of symbol codes that specify the symbols arranged on the surfaces of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R.

In the present embodiment, the symbols used in the pachi-slot machine 1 are, as described above, "red 7", "red BAR", "white BAR", "black BAR", "bell", "replay 1", "replay 2". , "Watermelon", "cherry", and "blank".

In the symbol code table, "1" is assigned as the symbol code for the "red 7" symbol. Further, "2" is assigned as the symbol code for the "white BAR" symbol. Further, “3” is assigned as the symbol code for the “black BAR” symbol.

Similarly, "4" to "10" are assigned as the symbol codes for the symbols "Bell", "Replay 1", "Replay 2", "Watermelon", "Cherry" and "Blank", respectively.

<Design combination table>
In the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, a winning operation flag and a payout number are associated with a symbol combination identified by the storage area identification data represented by 16 bytes.

The winning operation flag is data assigned corresponding to a unique combination of symbols for representing a winning combination (hereinafter referred to as a “winning combination”), and includes 1-byte (8-bit) data and a storage area type. I'm out. The storage area type is data for distinguishing 1-byte data. The 1-byte data includes data corresponding to a combination of a plurality of symbols. Each symbol combination is distinguished by the storage area type and 1-byte data.

In addition, in the symbol combination tables shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, in order to facilitate understanding of the invention, the winning operation flag for each symbol combination is associated with the name (content) of the winning combination.

The payout number is data indicating the number of medals to be paid out to the player, corresponding to each symbol combination. When the combination of symbols arranged along the activated line matches the “combination of symbols” in the symbol combination table, the number of medals or the number of credits is counted by driving the hopper device 51 based on the corresponding number of payouts. The credit counter is added.

FIG. 13 shows a symbol combination table related to a bonus combination (including RB in BB). When the symbol combination shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the activated line, no medals are paid out, but the bonus winning combination is won. That is, when the bonus combination is won, the game is transferred to the BB game state (in the case of BB in BB, the RB in BB game state).

In FIG. 13, when a combination of symbols "red 7-red 7-red 7" indicating a winning combination of "PBB" is displayed on the activated line in the normal gaming state (RT4 gaming state), the medal is displayed. Although there is no payout, it means that the player has won the PBB and shifts to the PBB game state. In addition, "PBB" is a "determining hand" that determines the shift to the ART game in the later-described normal game, and determines the addition of the number of ART sets and the number of ART games in the ART game.

A combination of symbols "Red 7-Red 7-Red BAR" indicating a winning combination of "BB1", a combination of symbols of "Red 7-Red 7-White BAR" indicating a winning combination of "BB2", and a combination of "BB3" Either a symbol combination of "white BAR-white BAR-white BAR" indicating a winning combination or a symbol combination of "white BAR-white BAR-red BAR" indicating a winning combination of "BB4" is a symbol combination. , In the general game state (RT4 game state), when it is displayed on the activated line, no medals are paid out, but it means that the player has won the BB and shifts to the BB game state (RT0 game state in the BB).

Here, the combination of the symbols "BB1" and "BB3" is composed of the symbols "red 7" and "red BAR" or "white BAR". That is, it is a combination of symbols composed of symbols of the same color. The combination of symbols "BB2" and "BB4" is composed of "red 7" and "white BAR" or "white BAR" and "red BAR". That is, it is a combination of symbols composed of different color symbols. Hereinafter, “BB1” and “BB3” are collectively referred to as “same color bonus”, and “BB2” and “BB4” are also collectively referred to as “different color bonus”.

When the combination of the symbols of "white BAR-blank-blank" indicating the winning combination of "RB in BB" is displayed on the activated line in the BB RT2 gaming state, no medals are paid out, but in BB. This means that the player has won the RB and shifts to the RB mid-BB gaming state. Note that “BB in RB” is also called “JAC”.

FIG. 14 shows a symbol combination table relating to the replay combination. When the combination of symbols shown in FIG. 14 is displayed on the activated line, there is no payout of medals, but it means that a winning combination has been won in the replay game. That is, when the replay combination is won, the replay can be performed in the next game.

In FIG. 14, a combination of symbols of “Replay 1-Replay 1-Replay 1” indicating a winning combination of “Normal Rep 1” and “Replay 1-Replay 2-Replay 1” indicating a winning combination of “Normal Rep 2” A combination of symbols, a combination of symbols "Replay 1-Replay 1-Replay 2" indicating a winning combination of "normal lip 3", a combination of symbols "Replay 1-Replay 2-Replay 2" indicating a winning combination of "normal lip 4" A combination of symbols, a combination of symbols "Replay 2-Replay 2-Replay 2" indicating a winning combination of "ordinary lip 5", a combination of symbols "Replay 2-Replay 1-Replay 2" indicating a winning combination of "regular lip 6" A combination of symbols, a combination of symbols "Replay 2-Replay 2-Replay 1" indicating a winning combination of "ordinary lip 7", or a "Replay 2-Replay 1-Replay 1" indicating a winning combination of "regular lip 8" When any symbol combination of the symbol combinations is displayed on the activated line, the symbols “Replay” are arranged in the middle of the display window 4.

"RT1 transition Lip 1" winning combination "Bell-Bell-Red 7" symbol combination, "RT1 transition Lip 2" winning combination "Bell-Bell-Watermelon" symbol combination "RT1 Transition "Bell-Bell-Black BAR" design combination showing the winning combination of "Rip 3", "Red 7-Watermelon-Bell" design combination showing the winning combination of "RT1 transition Lip 4", or "RT1 transitioning Lip" When any symbol combination of the symbol combinations of “white BAR-watermelon-bell” indicating the winning combination of “5” is displayed on the activated line, “Replay” is displayed in the lower row or the upper row in the display window 4. The patterns are aligned. It should be noted that although the symbols of "Replay" are not arranged in the lower or upper row in the display window 4, the combinations of the symbols "RT1 transition lip 6" to "RT1 transition lip 16" are defined as the combinations of the symbols having the same performance. ing. When the combination of symbols of any one of "RT1 transition rep 1" to "RT1 transition rep 16" is displayed on the activated line, the game state shifts to the RT1 game state.

The combination of the symbols of "Replay 1-Watermelon Bell" indicating the winning combination of "RT2 Transition Lip 1" or the combination of the symbols of "Replay 2-Watermelon Bell" indicating the winning combination of "RT2 Transition Lip 2" is effective. When displayed on the line, the game state shifts to the RT2 game state.

The combination of the symbols "Bell-Replay 1-Bell" indicating the winning combination of "RT3 Transition Lip 1" or the combination of the symbols "Bell-Replay 2-Bell" indicating the winning combination of "RT3 Transition Lip 2" is effective. When displayed on the line, the symbols of "replay" are lined up in the display window 4 and the gaming state shifts to the RT3 gaming state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, only the above-mentioned center line is defined as the activated line, but a combination of symbols related to the replay combination (for example, RT1 transition rep 1 to 5, and RT3 transition rep 1 or 2). 14 is configured as shown in FIG. 14, and a combination of symbols relating to a small winning combination (for example, cross down bells 1 to 4, upper bells 1 to 4, and cross up bells) described later in FIG. 15 is also the same. By configuring the above, it is as effective as 5 lines (center line aligned in the middle tier, top line aligned in the upper tier, bottom line aligned in the lower tier, cross-down line aligned in the lower right, cross-up line aligned in the upper right). It is possible to impress the player as if.

When the combination of the symbols "black BAR-black BAR-black BAR" indicating the winning combination of "BAR complete rep" is displayed on the activated line, the shift to the ART game is confirmed in the normal game described later, In the ART game, the addition of the number of ART sets and the number of ART games is confirmed. That is, the “BAR complete rep” is the “determining hand”. The combination of symbols of "BAR matching lip" may not be displayed on the activated line depending on the timing of the stop operation of the player (a "missing drop" described later may occur). The symbol combinations of "BAR follow lip 1" to "BAR follow lip 12" which are allowed to be displayed on the activated line together with the symbol combination are defined. However, as will be described later, the combination of the symbols "BAR follow rep 1" to "BAR follow rep 12" is allowed to be displayed on the activated line even if it is not together with the combination of the symbols "BAR complete lip". It may be done ("BAR matching fake lip"). In this case, the player performs the stop operation aiming at the "black BAR" symbol to maintain the expectation that the combination of the symbols of "BAR Alignment Lip" may be aligned until the third stop operation. Is possible.

FIG. 15 shows a symbol combination table relating to small wins and the like for which medals are paid out. Except for “RT1 transition symbol 1” to “RT1 transition symbol 8”, when the symbol combination shown in FIG. 15 is displayed on the activated line, the payout number of medals associated with the symbol combination is displayed. Be paid out. However, the combination of the symbols "RT1 transition symbol 1" to "RT1 transition symbol 8" may be defined as the combination of symbols relating to the small winning combination for which a medal (for example, one coin) is paid out.

In FIG. 15, when a combination of symbols “Replay 1-Bell-Replay 1” indicating a winning combination of “Cross Down Bell 1” is displayed on the activated line, “Bell” is displayed in the display window 4 in the downward right direction. The symbols will be collected, and 9 medals will be paid out. “Cross down bell 2” to “Cross down bell 4” are the same as “Cross down bell 1”.

When the combination of the symbols “Replay 1-Replay 1-Cherry” indicating the winning combination of “Upper Bell 1” is displayed on the activated line, the symbols “Bell” are aligned in the upper row in the display window 4, Nine medals are paid out. The same applies to "upper bell 2" to "upper bell 4" as "upper bell 1".

When the combination of the symbols of “watermelon-bell-cherry” showing the winning combination of “cross-up bell” is displayed on the activated line, the symbols of “bell” are lined up in the display window 4 and 9 One medal will be paid out. When the combination of the symbols “Bell-Bell-Bell” indicating the winning combination of “Bell in the middle” is displayed on the activated line, the symbols “Bell” are arranged in the middle in the display window 4, and nine pieces are displayed. Medals will be paid out.

When the combination of the symbols "Replay 1-Blank-Bell" indicating the winning combination of "Left Follow Small Win 1" is displayed on the activated line, one medal is paid out. The same applies to "left follow small win 2" to "left follow small win 16" as well as "left follow small win 1".

When the combination of the symbols of "red 7-bell-bell" indicating the winning combination of "middle follow small win 1" is displayed on the activated line, one medal is paid out. The same applies to the "middle follow small win 2" to the "left follow small win 12" as well as the "middle follow small win 1".

When the combination of the symbols "red 7-cherry-bell" indicating the winning combination of "right follow small winning combination 1" is displayed on the activated line, one medal is paid out. The same applies to "right follow small win 2" to "left follow small win 4" as well as "right follow small win 1".

Note that, as will be described later in the description of FIG. 20, the “following small winning combination” means, for example, when “left middle right bell 1” is determined as the internal winning combination as the “pushing order small winning combination”. When the stop operation is performed in the "right" stop operation order, the stop operation order becomes correct and any combination of symbols "upper bell 1" to "upper bell 4" is preferentially displayed. The stop control is performed and 9 medals are paid out. However, if the stop operation is performed in any other stop operation order, the stop operation order is incorrect, so "upper bell 1" to "upper bell" "Left Follow Small Win 1", "Left Follow Small Win 2", "Left Follow Small Win 5", "Left Follow Small Win 6", "Left Follow Small Win 9" to prevent winning any of the Bell 4" The stop control is performed so that one or a plurality of symbol combinations of "left follow small win 10", "left follow small win 13" and "left follow small win 14" are preferentially displayed. Become. In addition, since the “following small winning combination” causes a “missing” to be described later, in this case, no medal is paid out, and one of “RT1 transition symbol 1” to “RT1 transition symbol 8” to be described later. The combination of symbols will be displayed.

A combination of symbols "cherry-black BAR-cherry" indicating a winning combination of "middle cherry 1" or a combination of symbols "cherry-cherry-cherry" indicating a winning combination of "middle cherry 2" is on the activated line. When displayed, one medal is paid out.

When the combination of the symbols "black BAR-black BAR-red BAR" indicating the winning combination of "strong cherry 1" is displayed on the activated line, two medals are paid out. The same applies to “strong cherry 2” to “strong cherry 10” as “strong cherry 1”.

When the combination of the symbols "black BAR-black BAR-cherry" indicating the winning combination of "weak cherry 1" is displayed on the activated line, two medals are paid out. The same applies to "weak cherry 2" and "weak cherry 3" as for "weak cherry 1". The combination of the symbols “strong cherry” and “weak cherry” is configured such that the symbol “cherry” is displayed in the lower part of the display window 4 corresponding to the left reel 3L.

When a combination of symbols "red BAR-watermelon-replay 2" indicating a winning combination of "watermelon 1" is displayed on the activated line, four medals are paid out. The same applies to "watermelon 2" to "watermelon 4" as for "watermelon 1". In addition, the combination of the symbols of "Watermelon 1" is lined up in the display window 4 with the symbols of "Watermelon", and the combination of the symbols of "Watermelon 2" and "Watermelon 3" is lowered in the display window 4. The symbols of “watermelon” are arranged on the display, and the combination of symbols of “watermelon 4” is configured such that the symbols of “watermelon” are arranged in the middle of the display window 4.

A combination of symbols of "red BAR-black BAR-blank" indicating a winning combination of "special small combination 1" or a combination of symbols of "white BAR-blank-black BAR" indicating a winning combination of "special small combination 2" When is displayed on the activated line, one medal is paid out.

When the combination of the symbols of "Replay 1-Cherry-Bell" showing the winning combination of "RT1 transition symbol 1" is displayed along the activated line, the medals are not paid out, and the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state. Move to. The “RT1 transition symbol 2” to “RT1 transition symbol 8” are the same as the “RT1 transition symbol 1”. It should be noted that the "RT1 transition symbol" is not a "winning combination", but a part of the combination of symbols "miss", but it should be recognized that the "RT1 transition symbol" is displayed by the main CPU 93. In order to enable the above, it is defined in the symbol combination table shown in FIG.

In addition, in the present embodiment, with respect to the combination of symbols relating to the bonus combination, the combination of symbols relating to the replay combination, and the combination of symbols relating to the small winning combination, etc., the above-mentioned names are given so as to be distinguished from others. , The name does not necessarily limit the role of the combination of the symbols.

Further, without providing the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, for example, by using the symbol code shown in FIG. 11, the main CPU 93 performs control for identifying the symbol combination displayed on the activated line. May be. That is, the main CPU 93 only needs to be able to identify the symbol combination displayed on the activated line, and its control method is not limited to the one using the symbol combination table.

<Internal lottery table>
In the plurality of internal lottery tables shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, a lottery value and a data pointer for each gaming state are associated with a winning number. The internal lottery table is usually stored in the main ROM 94 for each set value (for example, set values 1 to 6) of the pachi-slot machine 1. However, in this embodiment, one internal lottery table will be used for convenience of description.

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

Therefore, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the probability that the data pointer (that is, the internal winning combination) associated with the winning number is determined. When "0" is defined as the lottery value, the data pointer (that is, the internal winning combination) associated with the winning number is not determined in the game state (that is, the lottery). It will not be). When the number of times of the determination process as to whether or not the result of the subtraction becomes negative exceeds the number of winning numbers, the result of the internal lottery process becomes “miss”.

The winning probability of each winning number can be represented by “lottery value corresponding to each winning number/the number of all random number values that may be extracted (65536)”. In the present embodiment, the types of internal winning combinations to be determined and the winning probabilities are changed by properly using a plurality of types of internal lottery tables, and as a result, the expectations held by the player are undulated.

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

That is, the data pointer is data used to determine the storage area type and 1-byte data in the small winning combination/replay winning combination determining table shown in FIG. 18 and the bonus internal winning combination determining table shown in FIG. .. As the data pointer, a small win/replay data pointer and a bonus data pointer are individually defined corresponding to each winning number.

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

Further, without providing the internal lottery tables shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, for example, the main CPU 93 may perform a predetermined calculation on the random number for lottery to control the internal winning combination. .. That is, the main CPU 93 only needs to be able to determine the internal winning combination based on the extracted random number value for lottery, and its control method is not limited to the one using the internal lottery table.

(Internal lottery table for general gaming state)
As shown in FIG. 16, the internal lottery table for the general game state referred to in the general game state shows the lottery value of each winning number in the RT0 game state, the RT1 game state, the RT2 game state, the RT3 game state and the RT4 game state. Stipulates. In the internal gaming state internal lottery table, in the winning numbers “1” to “38”, the bonus winning combination (excluding RBs in the BB) is won individually or in duplicate with the replay winning combination or the small winning combination, and the winning winning number is “39”. In "-63", the replay role is elected, in the winning numbers "64"-"83", the small role is elected, and in the winning number "84", the RB in the BB is elected independently. .. In the present embodiment, the internal lottery table for the general gaming state and the internal lottery table for the BB gaming state, which will be described later, have the same configuration, but may have different configurations.

In the general gaming state internal lottery table, the lottery values assigned to the winning numbers "1" to "38" are common in the RT0 to RT3 gaming states, and only the RT4 gaming state is different. This is because the RT4 gaming state is the internal winning state of the bonus winning combination, and the bonus winning combination is not drawn in a lot. However, since the lottery values of the small wins that could have been determined in the winning numbers “1” to “38” are added and assigned in the winning numbers “76” to “82”, RT0 to RT4 gaming states In, there is no change in the winning probability of the small win.

In the general gaming state internal lottery table, the lottery values assigned to the winning numbers “39” to “63” are different in each of the RT0 to RT4 gaming states. That is, the types and winning probabilities of replay combinations that are randomly selected in each of RT0 to RT4 gaming states vary. In the RT0 gaming state, the lottery value “8318” is assigned to the winning number “39”, the lottery value “655” is assigned to the winning number “40”, and the lottery value “0” is assigned to the winning numbers “41” to “63”. Is assigned.

In the RT1 gaming state, the winning number "39" is assigned the lottery value "33", the winning numbers "41" to "46" are assigned the lottery value "1490", and the winning numbers "40" and "47" to "47". The lottery value “0” is assigned to “63”. In the RT2 gaming state, the lottery value “17” is assigned to the winning number “39”, the lottery value “64” is assigned to the winning number “40”, and the lottery value “4991” is assigned to the winning numbers “47” to “52”. Is assigned to the winning numbers “53” to “58”, and the lottery value “1960” is assigned to the winning numbers “41” to “46” and “59” to “63”. There is. In the RT3 gaming state, the lottery value "2188" is assigned to the winning number "39", the lottery value "13168" is assigned to the winning numbers "59" to "61", and the lottery value "63" is assigned to the winning number "62". The winning number “63” is assigned the lottery value “32”, and the winning numbers “40” to “58” are assigned the lottery value “0”. In the RT gaming state, the lottery number “39” is assigned the lottery value “12000”, and the lottery numbers “40” to “63” are assigned the lottery value “0”.

In the general gaming state internal lottery table, the lottery values assigned to the winning numbers “64” to “75” are common to the RT0 to RT4 gaming states. The lottery values assigned to the winning numbers “76” to “82” are common in the RT0 to RT3 gaming states, and only the RT4 gaming states are different. The lottery values assigned to the winning numbers “83” and “84” are common in the RT0 to RT4 gaming states. The winning number "83" is a winning number that is won only in the PBB gaming state and the BB medium RB gaming state, and the winning number "84" is a winning number that is won only in the BB RT0 gaming state.

(Internal lottery table for BB game state)
As shown in FIG. 17, the internal lottery table for the BB game state referred to in the BB game state is a lottery for each winning number in the PBB game state, the BB in RT0 game state, the BB in RT2 game state, and the BB in RB game state. It defines the value. Here, since the configurations of the winning numbers "1" to "84" are the same as those of the internal gaming state internal lottery table, description thereof will be omitted.

In the BB game state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 17, the winning numbers “2”, “4” to “11”, “13” to “20”, in the BB RT0 game state and the BB RT2 game state. “22” to “29” and “31” to “38” are assigned the same lottery value as the lottery value in the RT0 to RT3 gaming states, but this is RT in BB gaming state and RT in BB RT2. In the gaming state, it does not indicate that the bonus combination (except for RB in BB) can be determined as an internal winning combination, and it is determined overlapping with the bonus combination (excluding RB in BB) in RT0 to RT3 gaming state. The replay role or the small role indicates that the lottery is performed with the same winning probability. Therefore, similar to the RT4 gaming state and the BB mid-game playing state, all the lottery values assigned to the winning numbers “1” to “38” can be set to “0” and determined in the winning numbers “1” to “38”. The small lottery value that should have been expected may be added and assigned in the winning numbers “76” to “82”.

<Small Winner/Replay Internal Winning Winning Decision Table>
In the internal winning combination determination table for small winning combination/replay shown in FIG. 18, data for identifying the combination of winning symbols (winning operation flag) is associated with the data pointer for small winning combination/replay. ing.

There is.

[Relationship between the stop operation sequence for internal winning combinations and winning combinations]
Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the relationship between the stop operation sequence for the internal winning combination and the winning combination will be described.

In FIG. 20, as the stop operation sequence, “left middle right” means that the stop operation is performed in order of the stop button 19L, the stop button 19C, and the stop button 19R, and “left and right middle” means the stop button 19L, The stop operation is performed in order of the stop button 19R and the stop button 19C, and "middle left and right" means that the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop button 19C, the stop button 19L, and the stop button 19R. "Right and left" means that the stop operation is performed in the order of stop button 19C, stop button 19R, and stop button 19L, and "right and left middle" is performed in the order of stop button 19R, stop button 19L, and stop button 19C. "Right-middle-left" means that the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop button 19R, the stop button 19C, and the stop button 19L.

<Outline of reel stop>
In the present embodiment, there may be a case where a plurality of symbol combinations for which winning is allowed are associated with one internal winning combination, and at what timing the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R are operated. Depending on the (stop operation timing) and the order in which the operations were performed (stop operation order), the winning combination finally displayed may be controlled so as to change.

That is, regarding which symbol combination is the symbol combination finally displayed on the activated line (in other words, as the basic information when the main CPU 93 executes the reel stop control), It is determined based on the three elements of.

The first element is the internal winning combination determined by the internal lottery process. For example, when the result of the internal lottery process is "miss" (the value of the data pointer for small win/replay is "0"), the combination of the symbols related to any replay, or the combination of the symbols related to the small win Will never be displayed on the active line.

The second element is the stop operation timing of the player (in other words, the position of the symbol when the player operates any of the stop buttons). For example, in the present embodiment, four symbols are set as the maximum number of sliding pieces, so that even if one of the internal winning combinations has been won as a result of the internal lottery process, the winning is permitted. When the symbols forming the combination of the symbols are arranged in excess of four symbols, the combination of the symbols for which winning is permitted may not be displayed depending on the timing of the stop operation of the player. This is called "missing", and in FIG. 20, "or lost" means that "missing" is present. Therefore, in the figure, when not written as “or lost”, it means that there is no “missing” because at least one of the winning combinations is displayed. ..

The third element is the stop operation sequence of the player. For example, when the result of the internal lottery process is "normal rep 1" (the value of the small win/replay data pointer is "1"), no matter which stop operation order is selected, the stop operation timing is set. Regardless, as shown in FIG. 20, control is performed in which the combination of symbols relating to any of the replay combinations of “normal rep 1 to 8” is displayed on the activated line.

However, for example, when the result of the internal lottery process is "left middle right bell 1" (the value of the small win/replay data pointer is "26") and the stop operation sequence is "left middle right". Is controlled so that a combination of symbols of "upper bells 1 to 4" is preferentially displayed on the activated line regardless of the stop operation timing, while the stop operation sequence is other stop operations. In the case of the order, the control is performed so that the combination of the symbols of any of the "left follower roles 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14" is preferentially displayed on the activated line. Be seen. Then, when the stop operation timing is a timing at which it is possible to display the symbols constituting the symbol combination of any one of the "left followers 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14" on the activated line. As long as any combination of symbols of "left follower 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14" is displayed on the activated line, the stop operation timing is "left follower 1, 2, 5 , 6, 9, 10, 13, 14”, it is not possible to display the symbols constituting the symbol combination on the activated line, which is part of the “miss” symbol combination “RT1”. A combination of symbols of "Transition symbols 1 to 8" is to be displayed on the activated line.

Here, the internal winning combination "left middle right RT2 transition rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "3") is set to the stop operation timing only when the stop operation order is "left middle right". Regardless, one of the “RT2 transition reps 1 and 2” wins, and transitions to the RT2 gaming state that is the replay high probability state (high RT gaming state). Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "left middle right RT2 transition rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "3"), the stop operation sequence "left middle right" is the most advantageous stop for the player. It becomes the operation procedure.

Similarly, when the internal winning combination is "left and right middle RT2 transition rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "4"), the stop operation sequence "left and right middle" is the most advantageous stop operation for the player. If the internal winning combination is "center left/right RT2 transition rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "5"), the stop operation sequence "center left/right" is the most advantageous stop for the player. When the internal winning combination is “middle right left RT2 transition rep” (small win/replay data pointer value is “6”), the stop operation sequence “middle right left” is the most advantageous for the player. If the internal winning combination is "Right Left Middle RT2 Transition Rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "7"), the stop operation sequence "Right Left Middle" is most advantageous for the player. If the internal winning combination is “Right Middle Left RT2 Transition Lip” (small win/replay data pointer value is “8”), the stop operation sequence “Right Middle Left” is the player. It is the most advantageous procedure for stopping operation.

In addition, the internal winning combination "left middle right RT2 maintenance rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "9") is not related to the stop operation timing only when the stop operation order is "left middle right". Instead, one of the "normal rep 1 to 8" is won, and the RT2 game state, which is the high replay probability state (high RT game state), is maintained. Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "left middle right RT2 maintenance rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "9"), the stop operation sequence "left middle right" is the most advantageous stop for the player. It becomes the operation procedure.

Similarly, when the internal winning combination is “left and right middle RT2 maintenance rep” (small win/replay data pointer value is “10”), the stop operation sequence “left and right middle” is the most advantageous stop operation for the player. If the internal winning combination is "center left and right RT2 maintenance rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "11"), the stop operation sequence "middle left and right" is the most advantageous stop for the player. When the internal winning combination is "middle right left RT2 maintenance rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "12"), the stop operation sequence "middle right left" is most advantageous for the player. If the internal winning combination is "Right left middle RT2 maintenance rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "13"), the stop operation sequence "right left middle" is most advantageous for the player. If the internal winning combination is “Right Middle Left RT2 Maintenance Rep” (small win/replay data pointer value is “14”), the stop operation sequence “Right Middle Left” is the player. It is the most advantageous procedure for stopping operation.

In addition, the internal winning combination "left middle right RT3 transition rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "15") does not depend on the stop operation timing when the stop operation order is "left middle right". Instead, one of the "RT3 transition reps 1 and 2" is won, and the game is transitioned to the RT3 gaming state which is the high replay probability state (high RT gaming state). The RT3 game state is a game state in which an ART game described later is performed. Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "left middle right RT3 transition rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "15"), the stop operation sequence "left middle right" is the most advantageous stop for the player. It becomes the operation procedure.

Similarly, when the internal winning combination is "left and right middle RT3 transition rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "16"), the stop operation sequence "left and right middle" is the most advantageous stop operation for the player. If the internal winning combination is "Middle left/right RT3 transition rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "17"), the stop operation sequence "middle left/right" is the most advantageous stop for the player. If the internal winning combination is "middle right left RT3 transition rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "18"), the stop operation sequence "middle right left" is most advantageous for the player. If the internal winning combination is "Right Left Middle RT3 Transition Rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "19"), the stop operation sequence "Right Left Middle" is most advantageous for the player. If the internal winning combination is “Right Middle Left RT3 Transition Rep” (small win/replay data pointer value is “20”), the stop operation sequence “Right Middle Left” is the player. It is the most advantageous procedure for stopping operation.

In addition, the internal winning combination "left RT3 maintenance rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "21") has a stop operation sequence of "left middle right" or "left right middle" (that is, "left first stop"). )), regardless of the stop operation timing, one of the "normal rep 1-8" wins, and the RT3 gaming state that is the replay high probability state (high RT gaming state) is maintained. Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "left RT3 maintenance rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "21"), the stop operation sequence "left first stop" is the most advantageous stop operation for the player. It becomes the procedure of.

Similarly, when the internal winning combination is "middle RT3 maintenance rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "22"), the stop operation sequence is "middle left and right" or "middle right left" (that is, "middle right and left"). If the internal winning combination is "Right RT3 Maintenance Rep" (small win/replay data pointer value is "23"), the stop operation is the most advantageous procedure for the player. The order “right left middle” or “right middle left” (that is, “right first stop”) is the most advantageous stop operation procedure for the player.

In addition, the internal winning combination "left middle right bell 1" (small win/replay data pointer value is "26") and "left middle right bell 2" (small win/replay data pointer value is "27") Focusing on the stop operation sequence (see FIG. 20), they are common in that similar profits can be given, and thus can be collectively referred to as “left center right bell”. Here, when the result of the internal lottery process is "left center right bell", only when the stop operation sequence is "left center right", 9 medals are paid out regardless of the stop operation timing. Be done. Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "left middle right bell", the stop operation sequence "left middle right" is the most advantageous stop operation procedure for the player.

In addition, the internal winning combination "left and right middle bell 1" (small win/replay data pointer value is "28") and "left middle right bell 2" (small win/replay data pointer value is "29") Focusing on the stop operation sequence (see FIG. 20), they are common in that similar profits can be given, and thus can be collectively referred to as “left and right middle bell”. Here, when the result of the internal lottery process is "left and right middle bell", 9 medals are paid out regardless of the stop operation timing only when the stop operation order is "left and right middle". Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "left and right middle bell", the stop operation sequence "right and left middle" is the most advantageous stop operation procedure for the player.

In addition, the internal winning combination "middle left and right bell 1" (small win/replay data pointer value is "30") and "middle left and right bell 2" (small win/replay data pointer value is "31") Focusing on the stop operation sequence (see FIG. 20), they are common in that similar profits can be given, and thus can be collectively referred to as “middle left and right bells”. Here, when the result of the internal lottery process is "middle left and right bell", only when the stop operation sequence is "middle left and right", nine medals are paid out regardless of the stop operation timing. Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "middle left and right bell", the stop operation sequence "middle left and right" is the most advantageous stop operation procedure for the player.

In addition, the internal winning combination "middle right left bell 1" (small win/replay data pointer value is "32") and "middle right left bell 2" (small win/replay data pointer value is "33") Focusing on the stop operation sequence (see FIG. 20 ), they are common in that similar profits can be given, and thus can be collectively referred to as “middle right left bell”. Here, when the result of the internal lottery process is "middle right left bell", only when the stop operation sequence is "middle right left", nine medals are paid out regardless of the stop operation timing. Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "middle right left bell", the stop operation sequence "middle right left" is the most advantageous stop operation procedure for the player.

In addition, the internal winning combination “Right Left Middle Bell 1” (small value/replay data pointer value is “34”) and “Right Left Middle Bell 2” (small role/replay data pointer value is “35”) Focusing on the stop operation sequence (see FIG. 20), they are common in that similar profits can be given, and thus can be collectively referred to as “right-left-center bell”. Here, if the result of the internal lottery process is "right-left-middle bell", only when the stop operation sequence is "right-left-middle", nine medals are paid out regardless of the stop operation timing. Therefore, when the internal winning combination is "Right Left Middle Bell", the stop operation sequence "Right Left Middle" is the most advantageous stop operation procedure for the player.

In addition, the internal winning combination “Right Middle Left Bell 1” (small role/replay data pointer value is “36”) and “Right Middle Left Bell 2” (small role/replay data pointer value is “37”) Focusing on the stop operation sequence (see FIG. 20), they are common in that similar profits can be given, and thus can be collectively referred to as “right middle left bell”. Here, if the result of the internal lottery process is “Right Middle Left Bell”, 9 medals are paid out regardless of the stop operation timing only when the stop operation order is “Right Middle Left”. Be done. Therefore, in the case where the internal winning combination is "Right Middle Left Bell", the stop operation sequence "Right Middle Left" is the most advantageous stop operation procedure for the player.

In this way, based on the above-mentioned third element, the internal winning combination in which the profit of the player fluctuates is called a "push order combination", and when it is a replay combination, it is called a "push order replay". In the case of a small winning combination, it may be called a "pushing order small winning combination".

In the present embodiment, in the ART game, when the "push order combination" is determined as the internal winning combination, the stop operation sequence which is the procedure of the stop operation advantageous to the player is notified.

<Reel stop control>
The main CPU 93 executes the following processing in order to realize the reel stop control described above.

First, when the internal winning combination is determined in the internal lottery processing (see S14 of FIG. 63) described later and the information related to the internal winning combination is stored in the main RAM 95, the reel stop initial setting processing (FIG. In S16 of 63), based on the internal winning combination, various stop control information stored in the main ROM 94 is read and stored in the main RAM 95.

Here, exemplifying information stored as various kinds of stop control information, in relation to the above-described second element, at which symbol position on each reel the stop button is operated and which symbol position is stopped ( Information that directly or indirectly regulates the number of sliding pieces), or in relation to the above-mentioned third element, in which stop operation sequence the stop button is operated, which combination of symbols is preferentially displayed. Examples of such information include information that directly or indirectly defines the above.

Next, the main CPU 93 stops each reel based on various stop control information stored in the main RAM 95 in a reel stop control process (see S22 of FIG. 63) described later. In particular, when the internal winning combination is the “push order combination”, appropriate stop control information is selected from the stored stop control information according to the stop operation sequence, or one stop operation is performed. After that, stop control is performed by generating (changing) stop control information.

Depending on the stop operation timing and the stop operation sequence, different stop controls may be executed even for the same internal winning combination, but the stop control is uniquely determined in advance and is the same. The same stop control is executed as long as it is an internal winning combination and has the same stop operation timing and the same stop operation sequence.

[Structure of storage area allocated to main RAM]
Next, the configuration of various storage areas assigned to the main RAM 95 will be described with reference to FIGS.

<Internal winning combination storage area>
The internal winning combination storing area shown in FIG. 21 is composed of 16 storage areas of internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 16. The internal winning combination storage area is configured to be able to store data (bits) corresponding to each symbol combination defined in the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, and as a result of the internal lottery process, a prize is won. "1" is set to the data (bit) corresponding to the allowed combination of symbols, and "0" is set to the data (bit) corresponding to the allowed combination of symbols. Strictly speaking, the "RT1 transition symbols 1 to 8" are not internal winning combinations, but are combinations of symbols displayed by missing the push order small winning combination, and thus may not be stored in the internal winning combination storing area. Good. In this case, the internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 15 may be configured by 15 storage areas.

<Display combination storage area>
The display combination storing area shown in FIG. 22 is configured by 16 storage areas of the display combination storing areas 1 to 16. The display combination storing area is configured in the same manner as the above-mentioned internal winning combination storing area, and as a result of the internal lottery processing, among the combinations of the winning symbols, the symbols that can be displayed on the activated line are displayed. Data (bit) corresponding to the combination is set to "1", and data (bit) corresponding to the combination of the symbols that cannot be displayed is set to "0". Further, the display combination storing area is updated every time each reel of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, based on the data (bit) stored in the later-described symbol code storing area. Even after all of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R have stopped, the combination of symbols for which "1" is set is the winning combination. That is, the display combination storing area is used for the main CPU 93 to identify the winning combination after all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped.

<Design code storage area>
The symbol code storage area shown in FIG. 23 is composed of 16 symbol code storage areas 1 to 16. The symbol code storage area is configured in the same manner as the internal winning combination storage area and the display combination storage area described above, and is effective among the combinations of the symbols defined in the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 13 to 15. "1" is set to the data (bit) corresponding to the combination of symbols that can be displayed on the line, and "0" is set to the data (bit) corresponding to the combination of symbols that cannot be displayed. Is set. The data (bit) of the symbol code storage area is updated every time each reel of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped.

<Storage area for carryover combination>
The carryover combination storing area shown in FIG. 24 stores data relating to the carryover combination. For example, when a bonus combination (including RB in BB) is internally won, bit 0 of the carryover combination storing area corresponding to the internally won bonus combination is set to "1", and the bonus combination is won and the BB game state is entered. The corresponding bit is reset to "0" when shifting to (RB in BB, BB in RB game state).

<Game status flag storage area>
The game state flag storage area shown in FIG. 25 stores data relating to each of the BB game state and the RT game state. For example, when the PBB game state is entered, bit 0 of the game state flag storage area is set to "1".

Further, for example, when the RT gaming state becomes the RT1 gaming state, bit 4 of the gaming state flag storage area is set to "1". When all the bits 0 to 7 in the game state flag storage area are "0", the game state becomes the RT0 game state.

<Operation stop button storage area>
In the operation stop button storage area shown in FIG. 26, the operation states of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R are stored. Bit 0 corresponds to the stop button 19L, and "1" is stored in bit 0 when the stop button 19L is operated.

Similarly, bit 1 corresponds to the stop button 19C, and "1" is stored in bit 1 when the stop button 19C is operated. Bit 2 corresponds to stop button 19R, and when the stop button 19R is operated, "1" is stored in bit 2.

Bit 4 corresponds to the stop button 19L, and when the stop button 19L is valid, "1" is stored in bit 4. Bit 5 corresponds to the stop button 19C, and when the stop button 19C is valid, "1" is stored in the bit 5. Also, bit 6 corresponds to the stop button 19R, and when the stop button 19R is valid, "1" is stored in bit 6.

In the present embodiment, the effective stop buttons refer to the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R corresponding to the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R and capable of detecting the stop operation by the main CPU 93.

<Pressing order storage area>
The pressing order storage area shown in FIG. 27 is an area for storing information indicating the pressing order (that is, the pressing order) of the three stop buttons 19L, 19C, and 19R. Bit 0 corresponds to the pressing order “left→middle→right”, and when the pressing order is “left→middle→right”, “1” is stored in bit 0, and other bits are set to “0”. Will be reset.

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

[Structure of various lottery tables used for production, etc.]
Next, the configuration of various lottery tables stored in the ROM cartridge substrate 86 will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 to 61.

<Additional ART game lottery table in PBB>
The PBB added ART game number lottery table shown in FIG. 28 is referred to in the start command reception process described later in the description of FIG. 80, and the ART game to be added in the PBB game state (“PBB” in FIG. 62). Used to determine the number.

As shown in FIG. 28, in the PBB add-on ART game number lottery table, lottery values are assigned so that the add-on ART game number of any of the add-on ART game numbers 5 to 300 can be determined based on the internal winning combination. Has been. Note that the assigned lottery value and each element used in the lottery in FIG. 28 are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, different lottery values may be assigned based on the set value.

That is, in the PBB gaming state, the number of additional ART games is determined based on the determined type of internal winning combination for each unit game, and the number of ART games in the ART game to be transferred after the PBB gaming state ends is added.

<Character lottery table during battle CZ>
The character lottery table during battle CZ shown in FIG. 29 is referred to in the process for receiving a prize operation command, which will be described later in the description of FIG. 88, and competes with an enemy character when a battle effect is executed during “battle CZ”. It is used to determine the type of teammate character. Here, "CZ" is an abbreviation for "chance zone" and means that there is a high degree of expectation of shifting to the ART game, which is a state advantageous to the player. The flow of the game regarding "Battle CZ" will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 29, in the battle CZ middle character lottery table, lottery values are assigned so that any one of the teammate character A, teammate character B, and teammate character C is determined based on the set value. There is. Note that the lottery values assigned in FIG. 29 and each element used in the lottery are examples, and the present invention is not limited to these. For example, a different lottery value may be assigned to each set value.

In the battle CZ middle character lottery table shown in FIG. 29, for example, in the case of the setting values 1 to 5, the ally character C is determined with a probability of 4096/32768, whereas in the case of the setting value 6, it is 6554. The ally character C is determined with a probability of /32768. Therefore, if the number of times the teammate character C is determined is large, it can be recognized that the possibility of the setting value 6 is high. The set value is a value indicating that the higher the value, the higher the degree of advantage for the player (the higher the payout rate). In the present embodiment, for example, the higher the set value, the higher the probability that the bonus combination will be determined as the internal winning combination, or the higher the set value, the higher the probability that the game will shift to the ART game. It has been done.

<HP subtraction success/failure lottery table>
The HP subtraction success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 30 is referred to in the processing during battle CZ described later in the description of FIG. 84, and in the “battle CZ”, the character type (any one of the ally characters A to C) and the internal winning combination. Based on and, it is used to determine whether or not to perform an effect in which the teammate character attacks the enemy character. Here, “HP” is an abbreviation for “hit point”. In addition, as the effect of the ally character attacking the enemy character is performed, "HP" of the enemy character is subtracted, and when the "HP" of the enemy character becomes "0" or less, the game shifts to the ART game. Becomes That is, in FIG. 30 and FIGS. 31 to 37 which will be described later, “HP” is a specific numerical value for determining whether or not to grant a privilege of shifting to an ART game which is a state advantageous to the player.

As shown in FIG. 30, the HP subtraction success/failure lottery table is non-winning (that is, “HP” is not subtracted) based on the internal winning combination for each character type (any one of the ally characters A to C), or The lottery value is assigned so that either of the winnings (that is, “HP” is subtracted) is determined. In addition, the lottery values assigned in FIG. 30 and each element used in the lottery are examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, different lottery values may be assigned based on the set value.

<HP subtraction value lottery table>
The HP A subtraction value lottery table for character A shown in FIG. 31, the HP subtraction value lottery table for character B shown in FIG. 32, and the HP subtraction value lottery table for character C shown in FIG. 33 are the battle CZ described later in the description of FIG. Referred to in the middle processing, in the "Battle CZ", the ally character may make an attack against the enemy character based on the character type (any one of the ally characters A to C) and the internal winning combination. When it is determined, it is used to determine the subtraction value (HP subtraction value) to be subtracted from “HP” accordingly.

As shown in FIGS. 31 to 33, the HP subtraction value lottery table has an HP subtraction value of 5 to 60P for each character type (any of the ally characters A to C) based on the internal winning combination. The lottery value is assigned so that the value is determined. Note that the lottery values assigned in FIGS. 31 to 33 and each element used in the lottery are examples, and the present invention is not limited to these. For example, the lottery value assigned to one or a plurality of specific combinations (for example, “weak cherry” and “watermelon”) may be different for each character type (any one of the ally characters A to C).

<HP subtraction success/failure lottery table for consecutive rips>
The HP consecutive HP subtraction success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 34 is referred to in the processing during battle CZ described later in the description of FIG. 84, and in the “battle CZ”, the character type (one of the ally characters A to C), It is used to determine whether or not to perform the effect of the ally character attacking the enemy character based on the number of consecutive replays. Here, the “rep run” is synonymous with the number of consecutive replays, and indicates the number of times the replay combination is continuously determined as the internal winning combination. It should be noted that the replay combination is a winning combination that wins regardless of the player's stop operation timing. Therefore, the “replay series” and the number of consecutive replays may be the number of times the replay combination has won continuously.

As shown in FIG. 34, in the HP consecutive HP subtraction success/failure lottery table, non-winning (that is, “HP” is not subtracted for each character type (one of the ally characters A to C) based on the number of consecutive replays. ) Or a win (that is, “HP” is subtracted), the lottery value is assigned. In addition, the lottery values assigned in FIG. 34 and each element used in the lottery are examples, and the present invention is not limited to these. For example, different lottery values may be assigned based on the set value.

In a battle CZ process, which will be described later in the description of FIG. 84, the ally character becomes an enemy character based on the character type (any one of the ally characters A to C) and the number of consecutive replays in the “battle CZ”. It is used to determine a subtraction value (HP subtraction value) to be subtracted from “HP” when it is determined to perform an effect of attacking.

As shown in FIGS. 35 to 37, the HP consecutive HP subtraction value lottery table is one of the HP subtraction values 5 to 60P based on the number of consecutive replays for each character type (any one of the ally characters A to C). The lottery value is assigned so that the HP subtraction value of is determined. Note that the lottery values assigned in FIGS. 35 to 37 and each element used in the lottery are examples, and the present invention is not limited to these. For example, the lottery value assigned in a specific number of consecutive replays (for example, "other") may be different for each character type (any one of the ally characters A to C).

<Additional number of ART games when winning ART in Battle CZ> Lottery table for success/failure>
The battle CZ ART win number ART game number addition success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 38 is referred to in the battle CZ mid-process described later in the description of FIG. 84, and it is determined to shift to the ART game during the “battle CZ”. In the case of (when “HP” becomes “0” or less), it is used to determine whether or not to add the number of ART games, based on the number of possible lottery and the internal winning combination. Here, the “lottery possible number” indicates a lottery period during which the lottery for shifting to the ART game (that is, the subtraction lottery of “HP”) is performed during the “battle CZ”.

As for the number of times the lottery can be performed, push order small win (small win/replay data pointer value is "26" to "37") or RB medium/small win (small win/replay data pointer value is "45") When it is decided as a winning combination, "1" is added, and when the number of possible lottery becomes "5" or more, in the subsequent "Battle CZ", the lottery for shifting to the ART game (that is, "HP") Subtraction lottery) is not performed. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the mode shifts to "Battle CZ", then, a push order small win (small win/replay data pointer value is "26" to "37") or RB medium/small win (small win/win). The value of the replay data pointer is "45") is accumulated and the period until the internal winning combination is determined 5 times is set as the lottery period, and the lottery for shifting to the ART game (that is, "HP" subtraction lottery) Is configured to take place.

In addition, when the stop operation order is correct, the push order small win (the value of the small win/replay data pointer is "26" to "37") is a bell (that is, regardless of the stop operation timing of the player). , Upper bells 1 to 4, cross-up bells, or middle bells), and the RB medium/small-sized win (small win/replay data pointer value is "45") is the player's stop operation. Bells (that is, any of the cross-down bells 1-4, the upper bells 1-4, the cross-up bells, or the middle bells) will win regardless of the timing. Therefore, the number of times the lottery is possible can be said to be the number of winnings of a specific hand (bell) in the BB game state.

As shown in FIG. 38, the ART game number addition success/failure lottery table during ART winning during battle CZ is non-winning (that is, the number of ART games is not added) or winning based on the internal winning combination for each possible number of times of lottery. The lottery value is assigned so that any one of (that is, the number of ART games is added) is determined. Note that the assigned lottery value and each element used in the lottery in FIG. 38 are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, different lottery values may be assigned based on the number of games played in "Battle CZ". Specifically, when the number of times the lottery is possible is "4 times" and the number of games is less than "10", the number of games is "10" when the number of games is less than "10". In the above case, the lottery value may be assigned so that the winning (that is, the number of ART games is added) is determined with a higher probability than that shown in FIG.

Used for.

As shown in FIG. 46, the normal BB ART game number addition success/failure lottery table is a non-winning (ie, the ART game number is not added) or a winning (ie, ART game number is added) based on the internal winning combination. The lottery value is assigned so that either of In addition, the lottery values assigned in FIG. 46 and each element used in the lottery are examples, and the present invention is not limited to these. For example, different lottery values may be assigned based on the number of games played in the "normal BB". Specifically, if the number of games is less than "20 times", a lottery is performed according to the lottery value shown in FIG. 46. If the number of games is "20 times" or more, it is higher than that shown in FIG. The lottery value may be assigned so that the winning (that is, the number of ART games is added) is determined with a probability.

<Regular BB top-up ART game number lottery table>
The normal BB top-up ART game number lottery table shown in FIG. 47 is referred to in the normal BB mid-process described later in the description of FIG. 85, and when it is decided to shift to the ART game in the “normal BB” (that is, If the number of cards is 8 or more, as will be described later), and it is decided that the number of ART games will be added, the number of additional ART games will be added based on the internal winning combination. Used to determine

As shown in FIG. 47, in the normal BB add-on ART game number lottery table, the lottery value is set so that the add-on ART game number of any of the add-on ART game numbers 5 to 300 can be determined based on the internal winning combination. It is assigned. The assigned lottery values and the elements used in the lottery in FIG. 47 are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these.

<Additional ART game lottery table when the card is over>
The card extra ART game number lottery table shown in FIG. 48 is referred to in the processing during a normal BB described later in the description of FIG. 85, and when it is decided to shift to the ART game in the “normal BB” (that is, , When the number of "cards" becomes "8" or more as will be described later), a card that has not been used in "Item CZ" described later (that is, in this case, "8" or more surplus cards) It is used to determine the number of ART games to be added by lottery based on the number of surplus cards based on the card type.

Further, when the card extra ART game number lottery table shown in FIG. 48 is referred to in the item CZ mid-process described later in the description of FIG. 86, and when it is decided to shift to the ART game in “item CZ” (That is, as will be described later, in the case of winning the ART lottery executed based on the card type and the internal winning combination), a card that has not been used in "Item CZ" (for example, in "Regular BB"), If you win 5 cards and win the ART lottery based on the first card in "Item CZ", the surplus cards will be based on the card type of "4" surplus cards). It is used to determine the number of ART games to be added by lottery.

As shown in FIG. 48, the additional ART game number lottery table when the card is over is assigned a lottery value so that the additional ART game number of the additional ART game numbers 5 to 300 can be determined based on the card type. Has been. Further, as shown in FIG. 48, in the card excess ART game number lottery table, the higher the expectation level of the surplus card (“LV (level)”), the larger the number of additional ART games to be determined will be. A value has been assigned. The assigned lottery value and each element used in the lottery in FIG. 48 are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, different lottery values may be assigned according to the internal winning combination, the number of games, the number of possible lottery in the unit game in which the surplus card is generated.

<ART CZ ART lottery table>
The ART CZ in-item CZ lottery table shown in FIG. 49 is referred to in the processing in the item CZ described later in the description of FIG. 86, and based on the card type of the card acquired in the “normal BB” in the “item CZ”, It is used to decide whether or not to shift to the ART game. As described above, the ART lottery table in the item CZ is configured such that the higher the "LV (level)" of the card, the higher the probability of shifting to the ART game. The flow of the game regarding the "item CZ" will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 49, the ART lottery table in the item CZ is a non-winning (that is, does not shift to ART game) or a winning based on an internal winning combination for each card type (one of LV1 to LV7 cards). The lottery value is assigned so that any one of (that is, shift to the ART game) is determined. The assigned lottery value and each element used in the lottery in FIG. 49 are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, different lottery values may be assigned based on the number of item CZ games described later (that is, the number of cards).

Also, the ART lottery table in the item CZ shown in FIG. 49 has the types of internal winning combinations of “weak cherry” (corresponding to the winning number “77” in the internal lottery table for general gaming state shown in FIG. 16) and “strong cherry”. (Corresponding to the winning number "78" in the general gaming state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 16), "watermelon" (corresponding to the winning number "80" in the general gaming state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 16), "chance" "Eye 1" and "Chance eye 2" (corresponding to the winning numbers "81" and "82" in the internal gaming state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 16), "BAR matching rep" and "bonus overlapping hand" (see FIG. 16) The winning numbers “63” and “2”, “4” to “11”, “13” to “20”, “22” to “29”, “31” to “38” in the general gaming state internal lottery table shown. ) And "others" (corresponding to other winning numbers and "miss" in the internal gaming state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 16) are defined.

Here, in the present embodiment, as described above, the winning probability of the replay combination in the BB gaming state is carried over to the general gaming state after the end of the BB gaming state. That is, the "item CZ" is the RT0 gaming state (and the RT0 gaming state, or the RT1 gaming state that has transitioned from the RT2 gaming state) that is the replay low probability state (low RT gaming state), or the replay high probability state (high. It may be executed in both of the RT2 game states, which is the RT game state). However, in the "normal BB", when the internal winning of "JAC" is notified, the fact is notified, so if the player performs the stop operation at the stop operation timing that does not cause "JAC" to win the prize, basically, "Item CZ" will be executed in the RT2 game state. However, if the player performs the stop operation at the stop operation timing for winning the "JAC", the "item CZ" will be executed in the RT0 gaming state or the RT1 gaming state.

In addition, in the "item CZ" executed in the RT2 gaming state which is the high replay probability state (high RT gaming state), a stop operation for not shifting to the RT1 gaming state which is the low replay probability state (low RT gaming state) Therefore, if the player performs a stop operation according to the notified stop operation procedure, the RT2 game state is basically maintained during the "item CZ". However, if the player does not perform the stop operation in accordance with the notified stop operation procedure, the RT2 game state may shift to the RT1 game state during the "item CZ".

Therefore, in the ART lottery table in the item CZ shown in FIG. 49, an internal winning combination (for example, "RT2 maintenance rep") that is determined with high probability in the RT2 gaming state that is the high replay probability state (high RT gaming state), An internal winning combination (for example, “miss”) that is determined with a high probability in the RT0 gaming state or the RT1 gaming state that is a replay low probability state (low RT gaming state) is defined as the same internal winning combination type, and ART The probability of moving to a game is defined to be the lowest compared to other types of internal winning combinations.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the replay is performed in the predetermined lottery state (for example, “item CZ”) in which the lottery is performed to determine whether or not the game state is advantageous for the player (for example, ART game). The high probability state (for example, RT2 gaming state) and the replay low probability state (for example, RT0 gaming state or RT1 gaming state) may shift in any gaming state, but a common lottery table in any gaming state. It is possible to perform the lottery using (for example, the ART lottery table in item CZ shown in FIG. 49).

With this configuration, the number of lottery tables used in a predetermined lottery state (for example, item CZ) in which it is determined whether or not to shift to a game state advantageous for the player (for example, ART game) is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the storage area (for example, the storage area of the ROM cartridge substrate 86) from being pressed. Further, even if the player intentionally shifts from the high replay probability state to the low replay probability state, the advantageous lottery is not received by that, and thus the advantageous game state for the player (for example, , ART game) can be appropriately drawn by lot.

<HP subtraction lottery table during ART>
The HP HP subtraction success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 50 is referred to in the add-on BB process described later in the description of FIG. 82, and in the “add-on BB”, the enemy type (one of the enemy characters A to D) and the internal Based on the winning combination, it is used to determine whether or not to perform an effect in which the teammate character attacks the enemy character. It is to be noted that, as the ally character attacks the enemy character, "HP" of the enemy character is subtracted, and when "HP" of the enemy character becomes "0" or less, the number of ART games is added. It will shift to the special addition state. That is, in FIG. 50 and FIGS. 51 to 54 to be described later, “HP” is a specific additional state (special additional state) for adding the number of times of ART game (the number of ART games) that is advantageous for the player. It is a specific numerical value for determining whether or not to grant the privilege of shifting to.

<Additional number of ART games Bell lottery lottery table for lottery>
In the case where it is decided to shift to the ART game in the "item CZ", the bell prize number lottery table for addition to the ART game number shown in FIG. 55 is referred to in the item CZ process described later in the description of FIG. It is used to determine the “bell winning number” for adding the number of ART games to the lottery (that is, when winning the ART transition lottery based on the card type and the internal winning combination). Here, the "bell winning number" indicates the number of winnings of the bell (that is, any of the cross down bells 1 to 4, the upper bells 1 to 4, the cross up bell, or the middle bell) in the ART game. 55 to 57, the number of wins of the bell (that is, any of the cross down bells 1 to 4, the upper bells 1 to 4, the cross up bell, or the middle bell) is replaced with the "bell winning number". The “bell winning number” shown may be used.

In addition, the ART game number addition lottery bell winning number lottery table shown in FIG. 55 is referred to in the normal game process described later in the description of FIG. 87, and it is determined to shift to the ART game during the “normal game”. In the case of winning (for example, when winning the "BAR Alignment Rep" which is the definite winning combination), it is used to determine the number of bell prizes to be added to the number of ART games for lottery.

Further, the bell number-of-bells lottery table for addition to the number of ART games shown in FIG. 55 is referred to in a process at the time of winning operation command reception described later in the description of FIG. It is used to determine the number of Bell winnings again when the number of Bell winnings is reached.

Further, the ART game number addition lottery bell winning number lottery table shown in FIG. 55 is referred to in a bonus end command reception time process which will be described later in the description of FIG. 89, and when the PBB game state ends, the “battle CZ” ends. When it is decided to shift to ART at the time, and when it is decided to shift to ART at the end of the "normal BB", the number of bell prizes for adding the number of ART games to the lottery is determined. Used to do.

<Additional ART game number lottery table when the number of winning bells reaches>
The add-on ART game number lottery table shown in FIG. 57 when the number of bell winnings is reached is referred to in the winning operation command reception process described later in the description of FIG. 88, and the number of winnings of the bell in the “ART game” is determined. This is used to determine the number of additional ART games when it is determined that the number of ART games is to be added even when the number of bell winnings is reached.

As shown in FIG. 57, the lottery value is assigned to the additional ART game number lottery table when the number of bell winnings is reached so that any one of the additional ART game numbers 5 to 300 can be added. The assigned lottery value and each element used in the lottery in FIG. 57 are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is possible to determine the number of additional ART games (multiple) that determines how many times the number of ART games is added to the determined number of bell winnings. In this case, if the number of times of winning the bell is determined to be “1” and the number of added ART games (multiple) is determined to be “five times”, the number of ART games for five games is added, but the number of bell winnings is increased. If "20 times" is decided as the number of times and "5 times" is decided as the number of ART games to be added (multiple), the number of ART games for 100 games will be added, so that more bells will be won. Even if the number of times is determined, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation.

<ART mode switching lottery table>
The ART mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. 58 is referred to in the ART game process described later in the description of FIG. 81, and the mode in the ART game (normal mode or preferential treatment) based on the internal winning combination during the ART game. Mode). The "preferential mode" is a specific mode in which the additional lottery for the number of ART games in the special additional state is more likely to continue (or win) than the "normal mode".

As shown in FIG. 58, in the ART mode transition lottery table, the transition destination mode (normal mode or preferential mode) is set for each current mode (normal mode or preferential mode) based on the internal winning combination. Any one of the above) is assigned to the lottery value. The assigned lottery value and each element used for the lottery in FIG. 58 are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, similar to the normal middle mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. 59, internal winning combinations other than bells (that is, any of cross down bells 1 to 4, upper bells 1 to 4, cross up bells, or middle bells) The mode transition lottery may be performed even when it is determined.

<Normal mode switching lottery table>
The normal mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. 59 is referred to in the normal game process described later in the description of FIG. 87, and in the normal game, the mode in the normal game (normal mode or battle) based on the internal winning combination. Mode). The "battle mode" is a specific mode for shifting the BB game state to "battle CZ" when the BB1 to 4 are internally won during the normal game.

As shown in FIG. 59, in the normal mode transition lottery table, the transition destination mode (normal mode or battle mode) is set for each current mode (normal mode or battle mode) based on the internal winning combination. Any one of the above) is assigned to the lottery value. In addition, the lottery values assigned in FIG. 59 and each element used in the lottery are examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, different lottery values may be assigned according to the current number of ceiling games.

<Mode change lottery table at ART end>
The ART end mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. 60 is referred to in the ART game end check process described later in the description of FIG. 83, and at the end of the ART game, the first mode in the normal game (normal mode or battle mode) Used to determine

As shown in FIG. 60, in the ART ending mode transition lottery table, lottery values are assigned so that the destination mode (either the normal mode or the battle mode) is determined. In addition, the lottery values assigned in FIG. 60 and each element used in the lottery are examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, different lottery values may be assigned based on the set value.

<Obligation game lottery table at the time of BB winning>
The BB winning omen game number lottery table shown in FIG. 61 is referred to in the normal game process described later in the description of FIG. 87, and in the case of internally winning BB1 to BB 4 during the normal game, the internal lottery result is notified. It is used to determine the number of precursor games to be played. Although illustration is omitted, continuous production is executed so as to continue the player's expectation between the internal winning of BB1 to BB4 and the notification of the internal lottery result. That is, it can be said that the “number of precursor games” indicates the number of games in which the continuous effect is executed. Therefore, even if BB1 to 4 are not internally won, a specific internal winning combination that is determined as an internal winning combination overlapping with BB1 to 4 (for example, normal lip 1, unquestioned bell, weak cherry, strong) (Cherry, Opportunity 1, Opportunity 2, Middle Cherry, or Watermelon) is determined as the internal winning combination, the number of precursor games is determined, and continuous production is performed according to the determined number of precursor games. It may be executed. In this case, in the final game of continuous production, it is announced that BB1 to BB4 have not been internally won.

As shown in FIG. 61, the lottery value is assigned to the predictive game number lottery table for BB winning so that the predictive game number of any of the predictive game numbers 0 to 5 is determined based on the internal winning combination. There is. Here, when the number of precursor games is “0 game”, the continuous effect is not executed, and the internal lottery result is announced in the game internally won by BB1 to BB4. In addition, the lottery values assigned in FIG. 60 and each element used in the lottery are examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, different lottery values may be assigned according to the current number of ceiling games. Specifically, when BB1 to 4 are internally won when the number of ceiling games is "496", the number of precursor games in which the number of ceiling games is "500" or more (for example, 4 games or 5 games) 61 may be assigned with a lottery value so as to be determined with a higher probability than that shown in FIG. In other words, when the bonus combination is internally won while the ceiling game number reaches the prescribed game number (for example, “500”), it is easy to determine the precursor game number in which the ceiling game number becomes equal to or larger than the prescribed game number. It may be that. With such a configuration, even if the internal winning of the bonus combination is immediately performed immediately before the activation of the ceiling function (in the present embodiment, the determination of “Battle CZ”), the profit from the ceiling function is given to the player. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the interest of the player in playing the game.

[Pachislot machine game flow]
Next, a game flow of the pachi-slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 62 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of the game in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

First, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as a state in which a game is played by the player, an ART game that is an advantageous game state that is advantageous to the player and a normal game state that is relatively disadvantageous than the ART game. It is roughly divided into normal games.

<Regular game>
The transition from the normal game to the ART game is to win and win the "PBB", to end the PBB game state, to meet the conditions for transition to the ART game in "Battle CZ" (CZ success), "Item It will be performed when the conditions for shifting to the ART game are satisfied in the "CZ" (CZ success) and that the "BAR complete rep" is won. Also, although illustration is omitted in FIG. 62, the game will be shifted to the ART game even when the transition condition to the ART game is satisfied in the “normal BB”. In addition, as described above, the "PBB" and the "BAR complete rep" are the definite roles for which the shift to the ART game is decided.

<PBB>
In the normal game, when the bonus combination “PBB” is determined as the internal winning combination, the transition to the ART game is confirmed, the initial number of ART games (50) is given, and the number of ART sets is selected by lottery. Is done. After that, when "PBB" is won and the state shifts to the PBB gaming state, an additional lottery for the number of ART games is performed for each unit game until the PBB gaming state ends. Then, when the PBB game state ends, the ART game is started based on the ART game number obtained by adding the result of the lottery to the initial value (50) of the ART game number. Although illustration is omitted in FIG. 62, the same control is performed when “PBB” is determined as the internal winning combination in the ART game. That is, the number of ART games obtained by adding the result of the lottery to the initial value (50) of the number of ART games is given as the number of additional games.

<Battle CZ>
In the normal game, when any of the bonus combinations “BB1 to 4” is determined as the internal winning combination, it is determined whether or not the specific condition is satisfied. Here, in the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the "specific condition" is satisfied depending on whether or not a "battle mode lock flag" described later is turned on. The “battle mode lock flag” has a predetermined number of ceiling games (that is, a prescribed number of games played in a normal game without shifting to a gaming state advantageous to the player (ART gaming, BB gaming state)). It is turned on when (500 games) or more, or when any of “BB1 to 4” is determined as the internal winning combination during the stay in the “battle mode” in the normal game. When the "battle mode lock flag" is ON, the BB gaming state (RT0 gaming state in BB, RT2 gaming state in BB, or RB gaming state in BB) is controlled to "battle CZ".

In the battle CZ, a battle effect in which a teammate character and an enemy character battle each other is executed, and as described above, the subtraction lottery for the enemy character “HP” is performed, and the enemy character is before the BB game state ends. When "HP" of "0" or less is "0" or less, the CZ is successful, and after the BB game state ends, the game shifts to the ART game. On the other hand, if the BB game state ends before the enemy character's "HP" becomes "0" or less, the CZ fails, the ceiling game number initial value (0) is set, and the game returns to the normal game.

<Normal BB>
In the normal game, when any of the bonus combinations “BB1 to 4” is determined as the internal winning combination and it is determined that the specific condition is not satisfied (that is, when the “battle mode lock flag” is off). ), the BB gaming state (RT0 gaming state in BB, RT2 gaming state in BB, or RB gaming state in BB) is controlled to "normal BB".

In the normal BB, a card acquisition effect of whether or not a teammate character acquires a card is executed, and as described above, a card acquisition lottery is performed. If the number of cards acquired before the BB game state ends is "8" or more, the game shifts to the ART game after the BB game state ends. On the other hand, if the BB game state ends before the number of cards reaches "8" or more, the process shifts to item CZ after the BB game state ends. In the normal BB (more specifically, in the BB RT0 game state), “JAC” is randomly selected (see FIG. 17), and one card can be won without fail when the “JAC” is won ( 42). With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the transition to the item CZ when the number of cards is zero. However, although the possibility is extremely low, if the BB game state ends with the number of cards being 0, it may be possible to shift to the ART game after the BB game state ends.

<Item CZ>
In the normal BB, if the BB gaming state ends before the number of cards reaches "8" or more, the general gaming state (RT2 gaming state or RT0 gaming state) after the BB gaming state ends is "Item CZ." Controlled by. The item CZ is performed by the number of cards normally acquired in the BB (that is, the number of item CZ games), and ends when the number of cards becomes "0" (that is, the number of item CZ games is "0"). ..

In the item CZ, an effect according to the type of the acquired card (for example, an "LV1 card" is an effect with low expectations, and an "LV7 card" is an effect with high expectations) is executed. As described above, the lottery for transition to the ART game is performed with the degree of expectation according to the type of card. If you win the ART transfer lottery before all the acquired cards are used, CZ is successful, and the number of ART games will be added according to the surplus cards, and the initial number of ART games ( The ART game will be started based on the number of ART games in which the result of the lottery is added to 50). On the other hand, if all the cards obtained without winning the lottery for transition to ART are used, the CZ fails, the ceiling game number initial value (0) is set, and the game returns to the normal game.

<ART game>
When shifting to the ART game, the procedure of the stop operation that is advantageous to the player is notified until the number of ART games and the number of ART sets become “0”. The player can increase medals by performing a stop operation in accordance with the notification. When the number of ART games and the ART set become "0", the mode (normal mode or battle mode) in the normal game is determined, and the initial value (0) of the number of ceiling games is set to return to the normal game. ..

(Additional BB)
In the ART game, if any of the bonus combinations “BB1 to 4” is determined as the internal winning combination, the BB game state (RT0 game state in BB, RT2 game state in BB, or RB game state in BB) is set. It is controlled by "Additional BB".

In the additional BB, a battle effect in which a teammate character and an enemy character battle each other is executed, and as described above, the subtraction lottery for the enemy character “HP” is performed, and the enemy character's “HP” subtraction lottery is performed before the BB game state ends. When "HP" becomes "0" or less, after the BB game state ends, the special addition state is entered. On the other hand, if the BB game state is ended before the "HP" of the enemy character becomes "0" or less, the game is returned to the ART game after the BB game state is ended.

(Special addition state)
When the "HP" of the enemy character becomes "0" or less before the BB game state ends in the additional BB, the general game state (RT0 game state to RT3 game state) after the BB game state ends is " It is controlled to "special addition state". In the special addition state, for example, as in the PBB game state, the addition lottery for the number of ART games is performed for each unit game until the special addition state ends. In addition, in the special addition state, a predetermined number of games (for example, 4 games) is set as one set, and at the start or end of one set, a continuous lottery is performed to determine whether or not to continue the next set. If is, the additional lottery for the number of ART games will be performed again during the next set. On the other hand, if the result of the continuous lottery is non-win, the special additional state is ended and the game is returned to the ART game.

In the present embodiment, when the bonus combination internally won in the ART game is BB1 or BB3 (that is, the same color bonus), or when BB2 or BB4 (that is, the different color bonus), the internal winning is achieved during the preferential mode. In such a case, if it is decided in the subsequent addition BB to shift to the special addition state, the lottery in this special addition state is controlled to the preferential state in which the lottery is “preferred”. In this preferential treatment state, for example, the probability of winning a continuous lottery as to whether or not to continue the set in the special addition state (“continuation rate”) is preferentially treated (that is, the winning probability is increased). .. The mode of preferential treatment is not limited to this. For example, in an additional lottery for the number of ART games, a relatively large number of additional ART games may be easily determined, or when changing the number of continuous games per set, a relatively long number of continuous games is set. May be made easier to determine.

Further, the mode of the "continuation rate" is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of predetermined continuation rates (for example, 1%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%) at the time of transition to the special additional state (or when it is decided to transition) May be determined, and how many sets of special additional states should be continued according to the determined continuation rate. In this case, in the preferential treatment state, if it is easy to determine a relatively high continuation rate among the plurality of continuation rates, the lottery in the special addition state can be preferentially treated.

(Add bell count)
In the ART game, when the number of bell prizes described above reaches a predetermined number, the number of ART games to be added is drawn. The number of ART games added by the addition of the number of bells is not immediately notified (that is, stocked) to the player, but is notified when the number of ART games becomes “0”. However, the number of ART games added by the addition of the number of bells may be notified to the player immediately (for example, a game that has reached a predetermined number of times, or the next game).

The mode of addition in the ART game is not limited to the above. For example, in the above-mentioned “special addition state” and “bell number addition”, a lottery may be performed instead of or in addition to the addition of the number of ART games, or in addition to this.

In addition, in the ART game, the number of ART games (or the number of ART sets) may be added on the basis of a trigger other than the above-described trigger of addition. For example, the success or failure of the addition (whether or not to win) may be drawn based on the internal winning combination, and when the winning is achieved, the number of ART games may be added. In this case, a specific winning combination having a lower probability of being determined as an internal winning combination than the "pushing order small winning combination" that is the target of the "bell number addition" described above (for example, in the item CZ ART lottery table shown in FIG. 49). When a bonus bonus combination” or “chance number 1” and “chance number 2”) is determined as an internal winning combination, the bonus can be added with a specific lottery probability (for example, 10923/32768≈1/3). It may be determined.

Also, the "push order small winning combination" that is the target of the above "bell number addition" and the above-described specific winning combination (for example, "bonus overlapping winning combination" or "chance opportunity" in the ART CZ ART lottery table shown in FIG. 49). The success or failure of the addition (whether or not to win) may be drawn based on a plurality of internal winning combinations including "1" and "opportunity 2"). However, in this case, at least the lottery probability that is decided to be added when the "push order small winning combination" that is the target of the "bell addition" is determined as the internal winning combination is the above-mentioned. It is desirable that the probability is lower than the specific lottery probability (for example, 32/32768=1/1024). Alternatively, when the "push order small win" that is the target of the "bell addition" is determined as the internal winning combination, the success or failure of the addition based on the internal winning combination (whether or not to win) is not drawn. May be

That is, in the present embodiment, the number of ART games (or the number of ART sets) can be increased by a plurality of additional triggers. With this configuration, the number of games (for example, the number of ART games) to be added in an advantageous game state (for example, ART game) in which the procedure of the stop operation that is advantageous to the player is notified is richer in variety. It is possible to draw lots.

[Main control processing]
Next, various processes executed by the main CPU 93 of the main control circuit 91 will be described with reference to FIGS. 63 to 73.

<Main control processing>
FIG. 63 is a flowchart showing the main control processing. The main control process described below is started when the pachi-slot machine 1 is powered on.

First, when the pachi-slot machine 1 is powered on, the main CPU 93 executes a power-on process shown in FIG. 64 (S10). In this power-on process, it is determined whether the backup is normal, the setting is changed properly, etc., and the initialization process is executed according to the determination result.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes initialization processing at the end of one game (one unit game) (S11). In this initialization processing, for example, a storage area designated in advance so as to be initialized at the end of one game is initialized. By this initialization processing, the data stored in the internal winning combination storage area, the display combination storage area, etc. of the main RAM 95 are cleared.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the medal acceptance/start check process shown in FIG. 65 (S12). In this medal acceptance/start check process, a process of detecting a medal inserted by the player and a process of detecting a start operation are executed.

Next, the main CPU 93 extracts the random number value and stores it in the random number value storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S13). In the present embodiment, the random number value is extracted from 0 to 65535.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the internal lottery process shown in FIG. 66 (S14). The main CPU 93 that executes this internal lottery process constitutes an internal winning combination determination means.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes lock determination processing (S15). In this lock determination process, a determination as to whether or not to perform the above-mentioned "lock" is performed.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes reel stop initialization processing (S16). By this reel stop initialization processing, various stop control information of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R described above is stored in the corresponding area of the main RAM 95 based on the result of the internal lottery processing (internal winning combination).

Next, the main CPU 93 generates start command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated start command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S17). The start command data is data for allowing the sub CPU 102 to recognize information such as the internal winning combination type, the game state type, the lock type and its period, and the bonus end number counter value.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a game start time lock execution process (S18). In this game start time lock execution processing, based on the determination result of the lock determination processing in S15, execution of the game start time lock and execution of the reel action during the lock execution (effect according to the reel variation mode) are performed. For example, when "PBB" is independently won as the internal winning combination (the winning number "1" is won), the game start lock is executed for about 30 seconds (the lock timer value is "26853").

Next, the main CPU 93 executes wait processing (S19). In this wait processing, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the last game (start of the last unit game), and if it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the predetermined time elapses. The waiting time to wait is exhausted. The predetermined time in this wait process, that is, the wait time, is set to 4.1 seconds from the start of the previous unit game, for example.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes reel rotation start processing for rotating all reels 3L, 3C, 3R (S20). Along with this reel rotation start processing, “01110000” is stored in the operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 26). The reel rotation start control is executed by the interrupt process shown in FIG. 71 (more specifically, the reel control process shown at S324). This interrupt process is a process that is periodically executed at regular intervals (1.1172 ms).

By controlling the driving of the stepping motor by this interrupt processing, the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R becomes a constant speed (for example, 80 rotations/minute). Accelerate until it reaches. After that, when the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R reaches a constant speed, this constant speed rotation is maintained. When the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R reaches a constant speed and the above-mentioned reel index is detected, the stop operation of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R is permitted.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates reel rotation start command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated reel rotation start command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 ( S21). The reel rotation start command data is, for example, data for allowing the sub CPU 102 to recognize that the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R has started.

By receiving the reel rotation start command data, the sub control circuit 101 can recognize the start of reel rotation, and can determine the timing for executing various effects.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes reel stop control processing (S22). By this reel stop control processing, stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed. Although not shown, in this reel stop control process, the main CPU 93 generates reel stop command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and the generated reel stop command data is stored in the main RAM 95. Stored in the allocated communication data storage area. The reel stop command data includes the type of the reel to be stopped, the stop start position (that is, the symbol position when the stop button is operated), the number of sliding pieces, or the planned stop position (that is, the reel actually stops). It is data for allowing the sub CPU 102 to recognize information such as a symbol position).

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a prize search process (S23). In this winning retrieval process, after all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped, the symbol combination table displayed on the activated line is collated with the symbol combination table to identify the symbol combination displayed on the activated line. It

Specifically, the data stored in the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 23) and the data in the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 13 to 15) are collated, and if there is a match as a result of the collation, , And stores the data corresponding to the matched symbol combination (display combination) in the display combination storage area (see FIG. 22) and acquires the payout number (payout number counter value) associated with the symbol combination.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a medal payout process for paying out the number of medals corresponding to the payout number counter value acquired as a result of the prize search process (S24). In this medal payout process, payout of medals and updating of the number of credits are performed based on the payout number counter value.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the state management process shown in FIG. 67 (S25). In this state management process, mainly the transition control of the RT game state is executed, and the ON or OFF of the output of the external signal from the external centralized terminal board 47 is managed.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a game end lock execution process (S26). In this game end lock execution processing, based on the determination result of the lock determination processing in S15, execution of the game end lock and execution of the reel action during the lock execution (effect according to the reel variation mode) are performed. For example, if "PBB" and "BAR Alignment Fake Lip" are won as an internal winning combination (winning winning number "2"), then at the end of the game for about 27 seconds (lock timer value "24167") The lock is executed. In addition, when "PBB" is won and when the PBB game state is ended, the game end lock is executed for about 2 seconds (the lock timer value is "1790"), and "BB1 to 4" are won. In the case of, and when the BB in RT0 gaming state, the BB in RT2 gaming state, or the BB in RB gaming state ends, the game end lock is executed for about 1 second (the value of the lock timer is "895"). , When the "BB in RB" is won in the BB in RT game state, the game completion lock of "268" as the value of the lock timer is executed for about 0.3 seconds.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates winning operation command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated winning operation command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S27). .. The winning operation command data is data for allowing the sub CPU 102 to recognize information such as the type of display combination and the payout number counter value, for example.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a bonus end check process shown in FIG. 69 (S28). In this bonus end check process, when each end condition (transition condition) defined in the BB game state is satisfied, a process according to the end condition (transition condition) is executed.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a bonus operation check process shown in FIG. 70 (S29). In this bonus operation check process, if each start condition (transition condition) of the BB game state is satisfied in the normal game state, if the start condition (transition condition) of the BB in RB game state is satisfied in the BB game state, Alternatively, when the re-play operation condition is satisfied in the general game state and the BB game state, a process according to the start condition (transition condition) or the operation condition is executed. After executing the processing of step S29, the main CPU 93 returns to the processing of step S11.

<Power-on process>
FIG. 64 is a flowchart showing a power-on process executed in step S10 of the main control process shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether the backup is normal (S30). In this determination processing, it is determined whether the backup is normal by error detection using the checksum value.

For example, the main CPU 93 stores the set value and the like of the pachi-slot machine 1 and the checksum value calculated from the set value and the like in the main RAM 95 as backup data when the power is turned off, and the determination process at the time of turning on the power (S30). At, the setting values and checksum values stored in the main RAM 95 are read.

Then, the main CPU 93 compares the checksum calculated from the read set value and the like with the backed-up checksum, and if the comparison results match, determines that the backup is normal.

When the main CPU 93 determines that the backup is normal (YES), it sets the backed up setting values and the like in the main RAM 95 (S31). As a result, if the backup is normal, the set value before the power is turned off is set in the main RAM 95.

After executing the process of step S31 or when determining that the backup is not normal in step S30 (NO), the main CPU 93 causes the main CPU 93 to set the setting change switch (setting key) provided in the cabinet 2a of the pachi-slot machine 1. It is determined whether the mold switch 56) is on (S32). Here, when determining that the setting change switch (setting key type switch 56) is on (YES), the main CPU 93 executes initialization processing at the time of setting change (S33).

In the initialization process at the time of changing the setting, for example, the data stored in the internal winning combination storage area, the display combination storage area, the symbol code storage area, and the game state flag storage area of the main RAM 95 are cleared and the set value is set. Is cleared. The data stored in the carryover combination storing area may not be cleared or may be cleared.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated initialization command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S34). .. The initialization command data is, for example, data for allowing the sub CPU 102 to recognize information such as whether or not the setting value has been changed and the setting value.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes setting value change processing (S35). In this set value changing process, the set value is selected from 1 to 6 according to the operation result of the reset switch (not shown) provided in the cabinet 2a of the pachi-slot machine 1, and subsequently, The set value selected when the start lever 23 is operated is confirmed.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the setting change switch (setting key type switch 56) is in the on state (S36), and repeatedly executes the process of step S36 until the determination result that the switch is not in the on state is obtained. ..

Here, when the determination result that the setting change switch (setting key type switch 56) is not in the ON state is obtained (that is, when the setting change switch is turned from ON to OFF), the main CPU 93 (NO). , Generate initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, store the generated initialization command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S37), and perform the power-on process. finish.

When determining in step S32 that the setting change switch (setting key type switch 56) is not on (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether the backup is normal (S38). If it is determined that the backup is not normal (NO), the main CPU 93 executes power-on error processing (S39).

In the power-on error processing, the main CPU 93 displays an error display or the like that the backup is not normal. It should be noted that the main CPU 93 does not release the error state by operating the stop release switch (not shown) or the reset switch (not shown) when the backup is in an abnormal state (backup error). Therefore, the error state is released only when a new setting is changed.

When it is determined in step S38 that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 93 restores the state of the pachi-slot machine 1 to the state before power-off based on the backup data stored in the main RAM 95. (S40), the power-on process is terminated.

<Medal reception/start check processing>
FIG. 65 is a flowchart showing the medal acceptance/start check process executed in step S12 of the main control process shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not there is an automatic insertion request (S50). That is, it is determined whether or not the replay combination is won in the previous unit game.

In step S50, when determining that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), the main CPU 93 executes automatic insertion processing for automatically inserting the same number of medals as the medals inserted in the previous unit game (S51). Specifically, the main CPU 93 copies the automatic insertion counter to the insertion number counter and clears the automatic insertion counter.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated medal insertion command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. A transmission process is executed (S52). Here, the medal insertion command data is, for example, data for allowing the sub CPU 102 to recognize information such as whether or not a medal has been inserted, the value of the inserted number counter, and the value of the credit counter.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the automatic insertion interval waiting process in order to set the replay operation recognition time for reliably operating the replay in the current unit game (S53). In this automatic charging interval waiting process, "270" is set as the automatic charging interval waiting time timer (270 interrupts×1.1172 ms≈301.64 ms). As described above, in this embodiment, when the replay combination is won in the previous unit game, the replay operation recognition time is provided, and the process related to the automatic insertion is surely performed.

The replay operation recognition time is not limited to the one described above, and can be set as appropriate. For example, the replay operation recognition time may be different depending on the number of medals automatically inserted (for example, the values “1” to “3” of the automatic insertion counter). Specifically, when the number of automatically inserted medals is "1", "90" is set as the automatic insertion interval waiting time timer, and the number of automatically inserted medals is "2". In some cases, "180" is set as the automatic insertion interval waiting time timer, and when the number of automatically inserted medals is "3", "270" is set as the automatic insertion interval waiting time timer. It may be that.

Further, the replay operation recognition time may be used to perform the effect. In the present embodiment, as will be described later, in the BB RT0 gaming state and the BB RT2 gaming state, a privilege is given according to the number of consecutive winnings (number of winnings) of the replay combination. Therefore, in the BB RT0 gaming state and the BB RT2 gaming state, if the value of the automatic insertion interval waiting time timer is set according to the number of consecutive winnings (the number of winnings) of the replay combination, it is locked for each unit game. Performing an effect of similarly stopping the progress of the game (invalidating the operation of the player) without performing the determination process (see S15 of FIG. 63) or the game end lock execution process (see S26 of FIG. 63) Is possible.

Specifically, for example, in the BB RT0 gaming state and the BB RT2 gaming state, when the number of consecutive winnings (the number of winnings) of the replay combination is 1 to 4 times, "270 If the number of consecutive winnings of the replay role (number of winnings) is 5 to 9 times, set “540” as the automatic insertion interval waiting time timer, and the number of consecutive winnings of the replay role (number of winnings) If it is 11 to 14 times, "810" is set as the automatic insertion interval wait time timer, and if the number of consecutive winnings (winning number) of the replay combination is 16 to 19 times, the automatic insertion interval wait time is set. "1080" is set as the time timer, and when the number of consecutive winnings (the number of winnings) of the replay combination is 10, 15, 20 or more, "1350" is set as the automatic insertion interval waiting time timer.

With such a configuration, in a specific game state (for example, BB RT0 game state and BB RT2 game state), a predetermined privilege (for example, according to the number of consecutive winnings of a specific combination (for example, replay combination) , A card acquisition lottery described below) is given, by using the replay operation recognition time, the same lock without performing lock control for each game (for example, lock determination processing and game end lock execution processing) Since the effect can be performed, the lock effect can be executed without increasing the control load.

In the present embodiment, the value of the lock timer (for example, “268”) set when “RB in BB” is won is the minimum value (for example, “270” set as the replay operation recognition time). )) less. That is, when the “RB in BB” wins, the time for which the lock effect is executed is shorter than the replay operation recognition time.

With this configuration, in a specific game state (for example, BB RT0 game state and BB RT2 game state), a privilege (for example, a card acquisition described later) is obtained depending on the number of consecutive winnings of a specific combination (for example, a replay combination). It is possible to let the player recognize that it is difficult to give the privilege when the lottery is performed, based on the execution time of the lock effect.

In step S50, when determining that there is no automatic insertion request (NO), the main CPU 93 permits acceptance of medals (S54). For example, the main CPU 93 drives a solenoid (not shown) of the selector 66 to form a path so that medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 21 can pass through the selector 66.

In addition, in step S50, when the main CPU 93 determines that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), since the acceptance of medals has been prohibited from the previous unit game, the process related to the acceptance of medals. However, even if the player has won the replay role in the previous unit game, the acceptance of medals may be permitted.

After the processing of step S53 or S54 is executed, the main CPU 93 sets the maximum value of the inserted number in the main RAM 95 according to the game state (S55). In this embodiment, 3 is set as the maximum value of the inserted number in any game state.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not acceptance of medals is permitted (S56). Here, when it is determined that the acceptance of medals is permitted (YES), the main CPU 93 checks whether the medals have been properly inserted or the BET button 22 has been operated. The process is executed (S57). In this medal insertion check process, when the medals are properly inserted, or when the medals are inserted by the operation of the BET button 22 from the credit, the value of the insertion number counter according to the number of inserted medals, Alternatively, the credit counter value is updated.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated medal insertion command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. A transmission process is executed (S58).

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is possible to insert medals or credit (S59). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 sets the value of the inserted number counter to 3 and the value of the credit counter to 50, or executes the automatic insertion process of step S51. When the condition is satisfied, it is determined that the insertion or credit of the medal is not possible, and when the condition is not satisfied, it is determined that the insertion or credit of the medal is possible.

When it is determined in step S59 that it is not possible to insert medals or credit (NO), the main CPU 93 prohibits acceptance of medals (S60). For example, the main CPU 93 forms a path such that the medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 21 are discharged from the medal payout opening 32 without driving the solenoid of the selector 66.

When it is determined in step S56 that the acceptance of medals is not permitted (NO), when it is determined in step S59 that medals can be inserted or credited (YES), or after the processing of step S60 is executed. The main CPU 93 determines whether the number of inserted medals is the number at which the game can be started (S61). That is, in the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 determines whether the number of inserted medals is 3, which is the maximum value.

Here, if it is determined that the number of inserted medals is not the maximum value (NO), the main CPU 93 returns to the process of step S56. On the other hand, when determining that the number of inserted medals is the maximum value (YES), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the start switch 79 is on (S62).

Here, when it is determined that the start switch 79 is not on (NO), the main CPU 93 returns to the process of step S56. On the other hand, when determining that the start switch 79 is on (YES), the main CPU 93 prohibits the reception of medals (S63), and ends the medal reception/start check processing.

<Internal lottery process>
FIG. 66 is a flowchart showing the internal lottery process executed in step S14 of the main control process shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 sets an internal lottery table according to the game state in the main RAM 95 (S70). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 sets either the internal lottery table shown in FIG. 16 or FIG. 17 in the main RAM 95 according to the game state.

Next, the main CPU 93 acquires the random number value stored in the random value storage area (S71). Next, the main CPU 93 refers to the predetermined area of the internal lottery table set in step S70, obtains one lottery value associated with each winning number of the corresponding setting value, and draws the lottery value from the random number value. Is subtracted (S72). That is, the main CPU 93 checks whether or not the internal winning combination associated with the winning number is determined.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the subtraction result of the process of step S72 is less than 0 (S73). Here, when determining that the subtraction result is not less than 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 updates the random number value and the winning number (S74).

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not all the winning numbers in the internal lottery table being used have been checked (S75), and when determining that all the winning numbers have not been checked (NO), , And returns to the process of step S72.

On the other hand, when determining that all the winning numbers have been checked (YES), the main CPU 93 sets 0 as the value of the data pointer (S76). That is, the main CPU 93 determines “miss” as the internal winning combination.

In step S73, when the main CPU 93 determines that the subtraction result is less than 0 (YES), it refers to the internal lottery table set in the main RAM 95, and determines the winning combination/replay data pointer from the winning number. The value and the value of the bonus data pointer are acquired (S77).

After executing the processing of step S76 or S77, the main CPU 93 refers to the internal winning combination/replay internal winning combination determination table (see FIG. 18), and based on the value of the small winning/replaying data pointer, wins the internal winning combination. Is acquired (S78).

In the processing of this step S78, the internal winning combination for the small winning combination/replay is referred to, and 16 bytes indicating the internal winning combination corresponding to the value of the small winning/replaying data pointer acquired in the processing of step S76 or S77. The data value of is determined.

Next, the main CPU 93 stores the internal winning combination data acquired in step S78 in the internal winning combination storage area (see FIG. 21) (S79). In the process of step S79, the 16-byte data value indicating the internal winning combination determined in the process of step S78 is stored in the internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 16.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the value of the carryover combination storing area (see FIG. 24) is 0 (S80). When the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the internal carryover combination storing area is 0 (YES), it refers to the internal bonus winning combination determination table (see FIG. 19), and internally based on the value of the bonus data pointer. The winning combination is acquired (S81).

In the process of step S81, the internal bonus winning combination determination table is referred to, and a 16-byte data value indicating the internal winning combination corresponding to the value of the bonus data pointer acquired in the process of step S76 or S77 is determined. It

Next, the main CPU 93 stores the internal winning combination acquired in step S81 in the internal winning combination storage area (see FIG. 24) (S82). In the process of step S82, for example, when "PBB" is acquired as the internal winning combination in step S81, the bit 0 corresponding to "PBB" in the carryover storage area is set to "1".

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the value of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 24) is 0 (S83). In the process of step S83, it is determined whether or not "1" is set to any of the bits 0 to 5 of the internal carryover combination storing area in step S82.

When it is determined in step S83 that the value of the carryover combination storing area is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether the internal winning combination is "PBB" or "BB1 to 4" (S84). ). Here, when determining that the internal winning combination is "PBB" or "BB1 to 4" (YES), the main CPU 93 sets the RT4 gaming state as the gaming state (S85). Specifically, the main CPU 93 sets "1" in the RT4 gaming status flag and clears "0" in the other RT gaming status flags.

On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines that the internal winning combination is not “PBB” or “BB1 to 4” (that is, the internal winning combination is “BB in RB”) (NO), the game state is BB in progress. RT2 game state is set (S86). Specifically, the main CPU 93 sets "1" in the BB RT2 game status flag and clears "0" the BB RT0 game status flag.

If it is determined in step S80 that the value of the internal carryover combination storage area is not 0 (NO), if it is determined that the value of the internal carryover combination storage area is 0 (YES), or the processing of step S85 or step S86 is executed. After the execution, the main CPU 93 updates the internal winning combination storing area based on the internal winning combination stored in the internal carryover combination storing area (S87), and ends the internal lottery process. That is, the main CPU 93 reflects the internal winning combination stored in the internal carryover combination storing area in the internal winning combination storing area to determine the internal winning combination in the unit game.

<State management process>
67 is a flowchart showing the state management process executed in step S25 of the main control process shown in FIG. 63.

First, the main CPU 93 is in the PBB game state or the current BB game state (that is, any one of the BB in RT0 game state, the BB in RT2 game state, and the BB in RB game state) in the current game state. It is determined whether there is any (S100). When the main CPU 93 determines that it is in the PBB game state or the normal BB game state (YES), it moves to the processing of step S108.

On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines that it is not in the PBB game state or the normal BB game state (NO), subsequently, whether or not the current game state is the RT4 game state, that is, the bonus combination (BB It is determined whether or not the internal winning state of the medium RB is excluded (S101). When determining that the current game state is the RT4 game state (YES), the main CPU 93 shifts to the processing of step S108.

When the main CPU 93 determines in the process of step S101 that the current game state is not the RT4 game state (NO), subsequently, "RT1 shift rep 1-16" or "RT1 shift symbol 1-8" It is determined whether or not any of the combinations of symbols is displayed on the activated line (S102). When the main CPU 93 determines that a combination of symbols “RT1 transition rep 1 to 16” or “RT1 transition symbols 1 to 8” is displayed on the activated line (YES), RT1 is set as the game state. The game state is set (S103), and the process proceeds to step S108. Specifically, the RT1 game status flag is set to "1", and the other RT game status flags are cleared to "0".

In the process of step S102, the main CPU 93 determines that a combination of symbols "RT1 transition rep 1 to 16" or "RT1 transition symbols 1 to 8" is not displayed on the activated line (NO. ), it is subsequently determined whether or not any symbol combination of "RT2 transition lips 1 and 2" is displayed on the activated line (S104). When the main CPU 93 determines that any symbol combination of “RT2 transition lips 1 and 2” is displayed on the activated line (YES), it sets the RT2 gaming state as the gaming state (S105), and the step Then, the process proceeds to S108. Specifically, the RT2 game status flag is set to "1", and the other RT game status flags are cleared to "0".

In the process of step S104, when the main CPU 93 determines that any of the symbol combinations of “RT2 shift lips 1 and 2” is not displayed on the activated line (NO), the “RT3 shift” is subsequently executed. It is determined whether or not any one of the combinations of the symbols "Rip 1, 2" is displayed on the activated line (S106). When the main CPU 93 determines that the symbol combination of any of the "RT3 transition lips 1 and 2" is displayed on the activated line (YES), it sets the RT3 gaming state as the gaming state (S107), and the step Then, the process proceeds to S108. Specifically, the RT3 gaming status flag is set to "1", and the other RT gaming status flags are cleared to "0".

In the process of step S106, the main CPU 93 determines that the combination of any of the symbols "RT3 shift lips 1 and 2" is not displayed on the activated line (NO), or after the process of step S107, An external signal output management process described later in the description of FIG. 68 is executed (S108), and the state management process ends.

<External signal output management processing>
FIG. 68 is a flowchart showing the external signal output management processing executed in step S108 of the state management processing shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the external signal 1 functions as a signal for displaying the number of winnings (the number of winnings) of “PBB” and the fact that the PBB gaming state is being executed on an external display or the like, and the external signal 2 Functions as a signal for displaying the number of winnings (number of winnings) of “BB1 to 4” and the fact that the normal BB game state is being executed on an external display device or the like, and the external signal 3 is the execution of the ART game. It functions as a signal for displaying the number of times and that the ART game is being executed on an external device or the like.

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the symbol combination "PBB" is displayed on the activated line (S120). When the main CPU 93 determines that the symbol combination of “PBB” is displayed on the activated line (YES), it sets the external signal 1 to ON (S121) and ends the external signal output management process.

On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines that the symbol combination of “PBB” is not displayed on the activated line (NO), subsequently, the symbol combination of any of “BB1 to 4” is the activated line. It is determined whether or not it is displayed above (S122). When the main CPU 93 determines that a combination of symbols "BB1 to 4" is displayed on the activated line (YES), it sets the external signal 2 to ON (S123), and the external signal output management process. To finish.

In the process of step S122, when the main CPU 93 determines that any of the symbol combinations "BB1 to 4" is not displayed on the activated line (NO), subsequently, "PBB" or " It is determined whether or not "BB1 to 4" has been determined as an internal winning combination (S124). When it is determined that “PBB” or “BB1 to 4” is determined as the internal winning combination (YES), the process proceeds to step S125, and “PBB” or “BB1 to 4” is determined as the internal winning combination. If it is determined that it has not been performed (NO), the process proceeds to step S128.

In the process of step S125, the main CPU 93 sets the initial value "0" to the ART start check counter. The ART start check counter is data for allowing the main CPU 93 side to recognize whether or not the ART game is being executed under the control of the sub CPU 102. Then, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the external signal 3 is on (S126). When it is determined that the external signal 3 is on (YES), the external signal 3 is turned off (S127), and the external signal output management process ends. Also, when it is determined that the external signal 3 is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), the external signal output management process is ended. That is, when the bonus combination is internally won during the ART game, the external signal 3 is turned off.

In the process of step S128, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the current game state is the RT3 game state. If it is determined that the current game state is the RT3 game state (YES), then the player is internally elected to either "left RT3 maintenance lip", "middle RT3 maintenance lip", or "right RT3 maintenance lip". It is determined whether or not (S129). When it is determined that the internal winning is not in any of the "left RT3 maintenance lip", the "middle RT3 maintenance lip", and the "right RT3 maintenance lip" (NO), the external signal output management processing is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the player has internally won one of the "left RT3 maintenance lip", "middle RT3 maintenance lip", or "right RT3 maintenance lip" (YES), the player's stop operation sequence is continued. It is determined whether or not the pressing order is a predetermined specific pressing order (S130).

Here, the "predetermined specific pressing order" means a specific stop operation order in the stop operation order in which the RT3 gaming state is maintained. For example, when the "left RT3 maintenance rep" is determined as the internal winning combination, if the first stop operation is the left first stop, the RT3 game state is regardless of the order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation. Although it will be maintained (see FIG. 20 ), in the present embodiment, “left and right middle” of these is predetermined as a specific pressing order. Similarly, when "middle RT3 maintenance rep" is determined as the internal winning combination, "middle left and right" is preset as a specific pushing order, and "right RT3 maintenance rep" is determined as the internal winning combination. Defines “middle right, left” as a specific pressing order.

When the main CPU 93 determines in the process of step S130 that the player's stop operation order is not the predetermined specific pressing order (NO), the ART start check counter is set to the initial value “0”. Then (S131), the external signal output management process ends. On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines that the player's stop operation sequence is a predetermined specific pressing sequence (YES), the ART start check counter is incremented by 1 (S132), and then the ART start is started. It is determined whether the check counter is "2" (S133). When it is determined that the ART start check counter is "2" (YES), the external signal 3 is set to ON (S121), and the external signal output management process is ended. Also, when it is determined that the ART start check counter is not "2" (NO), the external signal output management process is ended.

Thus, in the present embodiment, in a specific replay high probability state (eg, RT3 gaming state), a specific combination (eg, “left RT3 maintenance lip”, “middle RT3 maintenance lip”, or “right RT3 maintenance lip”) )) is determined as an internal winning combination, a specific stop operation order (for example, a predetermined specific push) of the stop operation order in which a specific replay high probability state (for example, RT3 gaming state) is maintained. Based on the number of times the stop operation is performed in a specific order (for example, 2 times), a specific state indicating that a gaming state advantageous for the player (for example, an ART game described later) is being executed. It is configured to start outputting a signal (for example, external signal 3).

Further, in the present embodiment, when the ART game is started under the control of the sub CPU 102, a specific stop operation order (for example, a predetermined specific pressing order) is notified a specific number of times (for example, two times). Is configured to. With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately output the start of a game state advantageous to the player (for example, an ART game described later) to the outside.

When the main CPU 93 determines in the process of step S128 that the current game state is not the RT3 game state (NO), subsequently, it determines whether or not the external signal 3 is on (S135). When it is determined that the external signal 3 is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), the external signal output management process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the external signal 3 is ON (YES), then it is determined whether or not the internal winning of the small push-win combination has been won (S136). When it is determined that the internal winning of the push order small winning combination is not made (NO), the external signal output management processing is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the player has internally won the push order small winning combination (YES), it is subsequently determined whether or not a medal has been paid out (S137). That is, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not “missing” has occurred when the internal winning of the push order small combination is won.

When the main CPU 93 determines in the processing of step S137 that the medals have been paid out (YES), the external signal output management processing ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the medals are not paid out (NO), the external signal 3 is turned off (S138), and the external signal output management process ends. That is, during the ART game (or after the ART game is finished), when the push order small winning combination is won and the "missing" occurs, the external signal 3 is turned off.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when a specific signal (for example, external signal 3) indicating that a game state advantageous for the player (for example, ART game described later) is being executed is output. When the internal winning of the push order small combination is made, but the medal is not paid out, the output of this specific signal is finished. With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately output the end of the game state advantageous for the player (for example, the ART game described later) to the outside.

<Bonus end check process>
FIG. 69 is a flowchart showing the bonus end check processing executed in step S28 of the main control processing shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 is in the PBB game state or the current BB game state (that is, any one of the BB in RT0 game state, the BB in RT2 game state, and the BB in RB game state) in the current game state. It is determined whether there is any (S150). When determining that the current game state is not the PBB game state or the normal BB game state (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus end check process.

On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines that the current gaming state is the PBB gaming state or the normal BB gaming state (YES), it updates the bonus end number counter value based on the payout number counter value. (S151). Specifically, the number of medals paid out in this game is subtracted from the bonus end number counter. Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the value of the bonus end number counter is less than 0 (S152). That is, it is determined whether or not the update result (subtraction result) by the process of step S151 has become less than 0. When it is determined that the value of the bonus end number counter is not less than 0 (NO), the process proceeds to step S158.

When determining in the process of step S152 that the value of the bonus end number counter is less than 0 (YES), the main CPU 93 executes a PBB/BB end time process (S153). In this PBB/BB end process, if the PBB game state is the end, the PBB game state flag is cleared to "0", and if the normal BB game state is the end, depending on the state at the end. The BB in RT0 gaming status flag, the BB in RT2 gaming status flag, or the BB in RB gaming status flag is cleared to "0". If the RT2 in BB game state is finished, bit 5 of the carryover combination storing area is cleared to "0" (the internal winning state of "RB in BB" is finished). Further, the external signal 1 or the external signal 2 is turned off.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether it is the end of the BB RT2 game state (S154). When the main CPU 93 determines that it is the end of the BB RT2 gaming state (YES), it sets the RT2 gaming state as the gaming state (S155). That is, the replay high-probability state transitioned in the BB gaming state is succeeded to the general gaming state after the BB gaming state ends. On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines that it is not the end of the BB RT2 game state (NO), it sets the RT0 game state as the game state (S156).

Next, the main CPU 93 executes bonus end command transmission processing (S157), and ends the bonus end check processing. In this bonus end command transmission processing, bonus end command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101 is generated, and the generated bonus end command data is stored in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. The bonus end command data is, for example, data for allowing the sub CPU 102 to recognize information such as the end of the BB gaming state.

When the main CPU 93 determines in the process of step S152 that the value of the bonus end number counter is not less than 0 (NO), subsequently, it determines whether or not the current game state is the BB in RB game state. Yes (S158). When it is determined that the current gaming state is the BB in RB gaming state (YES), when a small winning combination is won in the unit game (that is, when a medal is paid out), the BB in RB game is played. When the winning number counter that counts the number of winnings of the small winning combination in the state and the gaming number counter that counts the number of playing games in the RB in BB gaming state are decremented by 1, and the small winning combination is not winning in the unit game (that is, If no medals have been paid out, the game number counter is decremented by 1 (S159).

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether the winning number counter or the game number counter is "0" (S160). When it is determined that neither the prize number counter nor the game number counter is "0" (NO), the bonus end check process is ended. When it is determined that the prize number counter or the game number counter is "0" (YES), the RB in BB end time process is executed (S161), and the bonus end check process is ended. In this process at the end of RB in BB, the RB in BB game state flag is cleared to "0", and the RT0 in BB game state flag is set to "1".

When the main CPU 93 determines in the process of step S158 that the current gaming state is not the BB mid-game state (NO), it subsequently determines whether the current gaming state is the PBB gaming state. (S162). When determining that the current game state is not the PBB game state (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus end check process. If it is determined that the current gaming state is the PBB gaming state (YES), the PBB gaming state process is executed (S163), and the bonus end check process is finished. In this PBB game state process, the PBB game state is always a specific RB game state (that is, a state in which each lottery value of the PBB game state defined in the BB game state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 17 is selected). Controlled to be.

In the present embodiment, the processing of steps S154 to 156 is performed (that is, the gaming state at the end of the BB gaming state is determined), and the winning probability of the replay combination in the BB gaming state is inherited in the general gaming state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the main CPU 93 may be configured to inherit the lottery value of the replay combination set at the end of the BB gaming state as it is in the general gaming state. In this case, if the lottery value of the replay combination in the RT in BB game state is set at the end of the BB in RB gaming state (or at the time of winning the "BB in RB"), the above-described steps S154 to 156 are performed. Processing can be omitted.

<Bonus operation check process>
FIG. 70 is a flowchart showing the bonus operation check process executed in step S29 of the main control process shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the current gaming state is the PBB gaming state (S170). When determining that the current game state is the PBB game state (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus operation check process.

On the other hand, if the main CPU 93 determines that the current gaming state is not the PBB gaming state (NO), then the current gaming state is the normal BB gaming state (that is, BB RT0 gaming state, BB RT2). It is determined whether or not it is the gaming state or the RB mid-RB gaming state) (S171). When determining that the current game state is not the normal BB game state (NO), the main CPU 93 shifts to the processing of step S176.

When the main CPU 93 determines in the process of step S171 that the current gaming state is the normal BB gaming state (YES), subsequently, the current gaming state is the BB mid-RB gaming state. Is determined (S172). When the main CPU 93 determines that the current game state is the BB in RB game state (YES), the bonus operation check process ends.

When the main CPU 93 determines in the process of step S172 that the current gaming state is not the BB in RB gaming state (NO), subsequently, the symbol combination of "BB in RB" is displayed on the activated line. It is determined whether or not (S173). When the main CPU 93 determines that the symbol combination “RB in BB” is not displayed on the activated line (NO), the bonus operation check process ends.

When the main CPU 93 determines in the process of step S173 that the symbol combination of "RB in BB" is displayed on the activated line (YES), the main CPU 93 executes the RB in BB operation process (S174). In the RB mid-RB operation process, the BB mid-RB gaming status flag is set to "1", and the BB mid-RT2 gaming status flag is cleared to "0". Also, the winning number counter is set to "8" and the game number counter is set to "12". Next, the main CPU 93 clears the value in the carryover combination storing area (S175), and ends the bonus operation check process. That is, the main CPU 93 clears bit 5 of the carryover combination storing area to "0".

When the main CPU 93 determines in the process of step S171 that the current game state is not the normal BB game state (NO), subsequently, the symbol of either "PBB" or "BB1 to 4" It is determined whether the combination is displayed on the activated line (S176). When the main CPU 93 determines that the symbol combination of either “PBB” or “BB1 to 4” is not displayed on the activated line (NO), the process proceeds to step S180.

In the process of step S176, the main CPU 93 determines that the symbol combination of "PBB" or "BB1 to 4" is displayed on the activated line (YES), the PBB/BB operation process Is executed (S177). In this PBB/BB operation process, if the symbol combination displayed on the activated line is the symbol combination of "PBB", the PBB game state flag is set to "1", and another game state flag (for example, , RT4 game state flag) is cleared to "0" and the bonus end number counter is set to "297". If the symbol combination displayed on the activated line is any of the symbol combinations "BB1 to 4", the RT0 gaming status flag in the BB is set to "1" and another gaming status flag (for example, , RT4 game state flag) is cleared to "0" and the bonus end number counter is set to "44".

Next, the main CPU 93 clears the value of the carryover combination storing area corresponding to the winning bonus combination (S178), executes the bonus start command transmission processing (S179), and ends the bonus operation check processing. In this bonus start command transmission processing, bonus start command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101 is generated, and the generated bonus start command data is stored in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. The bonus start command data is, for example, data for allowing the sub CPU 102 to recognize information such as the start of the BB game state.

When the main CPU 93 determines in the process of step S176 that no symbol combination of "PBB" or "BB1 to 4" is displayed on the activated line (NO), the result is shown in FIG. It is determined whether any combination of the symbols of the replay combination is displayed on the activated line (S180). When the main CPU 93 determines that any combination of the symbols of the replay combination is displayed on the activated line (YES), it issues an automatic insertion request (that is, a request process for activating the replay in the next unit game). Perform (S181), and finish the bonus operation check process. Further, when it is determined that no combination of symbols of the replay combination is displayed on the activated line (NO), the bonus operation check process is ended.

<Interrupt processing under the control of the main CPU>
FIG. 71 is a flowchart showing an interrupt process under the control of the main CPU 93. This process is periodically executed every 1.1172 ms.

First, the main CPU 93 saves the register (S320). Next, the main CPU 93 executes an input port check process described later in the description of FIG. 72 (S321). In this input port check processing, for example, the presence or absence of signals from various switches and sensors connected to the main CPU 93 is confirmed.

For example, the main CPU 93 stores, in the main RAM 95, information on ON/OFF of various switches such as a start switch 79 and a stop switch (not shown) and ON/OFF information of various sensors such as a medal sensor (not shown).

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a timer update process (S322). In this timer updating process, for example, when the value of the lock timer, the automatic closing interval waiting time timer, or the like is 1 or more, the process of subtracting the value of the timer by "1" for each interrupt is executed. Next, the main CPU 93 executes a communication data transmission process described later in the description of FIG. 73 (S323). Next, the main CPU 93 executes reel control processing (S324). In this reel control process, for example, an acceleration process for accelerating the rotation of each reel is executed by driving and controlling each stepping motor based on the rotation start request of each reel in the reel rotation start process (S20 of FIG. 63). Then, based on the fact that each reel reaches a predetermined speed (for example, 80 rotations/minute), the stepping motors are drive-controlled to execute a constant speed process for maintaining the predetermined speed, and then stop. Based on the rotation stop request of each reel in the control process (S22 of FIG. 63), the stepping motor is drive-controlled to execute the stop process of stopping the rotation of each reel.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a lamp/7SEG drive process (S325). For example, the main CPU 93 displays the number of credited medals, the number of payouts, and the like on various display units. Next, the main CPU 93 restores the register (S326) and finishes the interrupt processing that occurs periodically.

<Input port check processing>
72 is a flowchart showing the input port check processing executed in step S321 of the interrupt processing under the control of the main CPU 93 shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 checks the state of each input port (S330). Next, the main CPU 93 stores the previous interrupt, that is, the state of the input port one interrupt before in the main RAM 95 (S331), and stores the current state of the input port in the main RAM 95 (S332).

In this way, by comparing the state of the input port one interrupt before and the state of the current input port, the main CPU 93 can confirm the state of both input ports. It is checked whether or not the state has changed, for example, whether or not the BET button 22, the start lever 23 or the like has been operated.

Next, the main CPU 93 stores the on-edge state in the main RAM 95 (S333). For example, when the input data of the input port assigned to the start switch 79 is data indicating OFF before one interrupt but is data indicating ON at present, the main CPU 93 shifts to ON edge. Is stored in the main RAM 95, and the input data of the input port allocated to the start switch 79 is data indicating ON before one interrupt, but is data indicating OFF at present. If so, the off-edge information indicating the transition to the off-edge is stored in the main RAM 95.

<Communication data transmission process>
73 is a flowchart showing the communication data transmission process executed in step S323 of the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU 93 shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 decrements the communication data transmission timer by 1 (S340). Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the communication data transmission timer is 0 (S341).

Here, when it is determined that the communication data transmission timer is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the communication data transmission process. On the other hand, when determining that the communication data transmission timer is 0 (YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not there is untransmitted data in the communication data storage area (S342).

Here, when it is determined that there is no untransmitted data in the communication data storage area (NO), the main CPU 93 generates no-operation command data, and the generated no-operation command data is assigned to the main RAM 95 as communication data. The data is stored in the storage area (S343).

The non-operation command data is set with parameters such as on-edge and off-edge information of various switches and on-off information of various sensors stored in the above-described input port check processing. As a result, it is possible to prevent an interrupt process in which a command is not transmitted, prevent fraudulent behavior with respect to command transmission, and make the sub CPU 102 recognize these pieces of information, so that the operation during the period in which the operation is originally invalid is performed. The effect can be changed based on an operation (for example, an operation on the BET button 22 while the reel is rotating).

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

Next, the main CPU 51 transmits the communication data stored in the communication data storage area to the sub control circuit 101 (S345). Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the transmission of communication data is completed (S346).

Here, when it is determined that the transmission of the communication data is not completed (NO), the main CPU 93 returns to the process of step S345. On the other hand, when determining that the transmission of the communication data has been completed (YES), the main CPU 93 updates the communication data storage area to clear it (S347), and ends the communication data transmission process.

[Sub-control processing]
Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 102 of the sub control circuit 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. 74 to 89.

<Power-on process>
FIG. 74 is a flowchart showing the power-on processing of the sub CPU 102 when the power is turned on.

First, the sub CPU 102 executes an initialization process (S350). In this initialization process, the sub CPU 102 checks the sub RAM 83 and the like for errors and initializes the task system. The task system includes a lamp control task, which is a task group of timer interrupt synchronization, and a sound control task.

Next, the sub CPU 102 activates the lamp control task shown in FIG. 75 (S351). The lamp control task waits for the sub CPU 102 to receive a timer interrupt event message transmitted to the sub CPU 102 every 2 milliseconds, and in response to receiving this timer interrupt event message, the lamp control task This is processing for executing processing for controlling the lighting state.

Next, the sub CPU 102 activates the sound control task shown in FIG. 76 (S352). In the sound control task, the sub CPU 102 controls the sound output state of the speakers such as the speakers 42, 58, 64, 65L, 65R. Next, the sub CPU 102 activates the mother task (S353) and ends the power-on process. In the mother task, a main board communication task shown in FIG. 77 and a display control task (not shown) for controlling display contents displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are activated.

<Lamp control task>
FIG. 75 is a flowchart showing the lamp control task started in step S351 of the power-on process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 executes a timer interrupt initialization process (S360). Next, the sub CPU 102 executes a lamp-related data initialization process (S361).

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes a timer interrupt wait (S362). In this processing, a task group different from timer interrupt synchronization is executed until the sub CPU 102 receives a timer interrupt event message every 2 milliseconds.

An example of a task group different from timer interrupt synchronization is a main board communication task which is a task group of command reception interrupt synchronization. Further, a task group (not shown) of power interrupt synchronization, a task group (not shown) of door monitoring unit communication synchronization, etc. may be mentioned.

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes the sound control task shown in FIG. 76 (S363). In this process, the task with the next priority of the task group of timer interrupt synchronization which is the same group as the lamp control task is executed.

In the present embodiment, the priority order of the task group of timer interrupt synchronization is basically the order of the lamp control task and the sound control task. Therefore, in step S363, the sound control task in the next priority order to the lamp control task is executed. Note that in step S363, the processes of steps S372 and S373 of the sound control task shown in FIG. 76 are executed.

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes a lamp data analysis process that determines the light emission mode of the LED 85 included in the determined effect data (S364), and executes a lamp effect execution process based on the lamp data (S365). It returns to the process of S362.

<Sound control task>
FIG. 76 is a flowchart showing the lamp control task started in step S352 of the power-on processing shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 executes an initialization process of sound-related data related to the sound output state of the speakers 42, 58, 64, 65L, 65R (S370). Next, the sub CPU 102 executes the task in the next priority of the task group of timer interrupt synchronization which is the same group as the sound control task, that is, the lamp control task (S371).

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes an analysis process of sound data that determines the sound output mode of the speakers 42, 58, 64, 65L, 65R, etc. included in the determined effect data (S372), and converts the sound data into sound data. Based on the sound effect execution process (S373), the process of step S371 is executed.

<Main board communication task>
77 is a flowchart showing the main board communication task started in the mother task started in step S353 shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 initializes the communication message queue (S380), and checks the received command (S381).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not a command different from the previous command is received (S382). Here, when it is determined that the command different from the previous command is not received (NO), the sub CPU 102 returns to the process of step S381.

On the other hand, if it is determined that a command different from the previous command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines that the received command is a regular command, creates game information from the received command, and creates it. The game information is stored in the sub RAM 103 (S383). Next, the sub CPU 102 executes the command analysis process shown in FIG. 78 (S384), and returns to the process of step S381.

<Command analysis processing>
78 is a flowchart showing the command analysis processing executed in step S384 of the main board communication task shown in FIG. 77.

The sub CPU 102 executes the effect content determination process shown in FIG. 79 (S390) and the lamp data determination process (S391) based on the received command type and the information included in the command data, and the sound data determination process. Is executed (S392), each determined data is registered (S393), and the command analysis process is ended.

<Production content determination processing>
FIG. 79 is a flowchart showing the effect contents determination process executed in step S390 of the command analysis process shown in FIG. 78.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not an initialization command has been received (S400). If it is determined that the initialization command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes initialization command reception processing (S401), and ends the effect content determination processing. In the initialization command reception process, effect data based on the information transmitted as the initialization command is set. For example, the effect state is restored or the effect state is initialized based on the presence/absence of a setting change. Further, for example, when the setting is changed, the mode in the normal game is determined by lottery.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the initialization command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether a medal insertion command has been received (S402). If it is determined that the medal insertion command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a medal insertion command reception process (S403), and ends the effect content determination process. In the medal insertion command reception process, effect data based on the information transmitted as the medal insertion command is set. For example, effect data for outputting a medal insertion sound is set based on whether or not a medal has been inserted. In addition, the effect data for displaying the background image according to the mode and the game state is set.

Further, in the medal insertion command receiving process, the medal insertion command (see S52 of FIG. 65) transmitted based on the automatic insertion process (see S51 of FIG. 65) being performed (that is, activating the re-game) When is received, the effect data for outputting the automatic make-up sound notifying that the re-game is activated is set. Here, in the present embodiment, a predetermined waiting time (replay operation recognition time) is set at the time of operation of the replay, but the automatic make-up sound is during this predetermined waiting time (replay operation recognition time). Is configured to be output.

With this configuration, even if the waiting time for recognizing the operation of the replay (for example, the replay operation recognition time) is set, it is possible to notify the player that the replay is operating without delay. Can be recognized.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the medal insertion command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether a start command has been received (S404). Here, if it is determined that the start command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a start command reception process described later in the description of FIG. 80 (S405), and ends the effect content determination process. In the start command reception process, effect data based on the information transmitted as the start command is set. For example, during the ART game, if the internal winning combination is the push forward combination, the effect data for notifying the procedure of the stop operation that is most advantageous to the player is set.

On the other hand, when determining that the start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the reel rotation start command has been received (S406). If it is determined that the reel rotation start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the reel rotation start command reception process (S407), and ends the effect content determination process. In the process at the time of receiving the reel rotation start command, effect data based on the information transmitted as the reel rotation start command is set. For example, effect data for outputting a reel rotation start sound is set.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the reel rotation start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the reel stop command has been received (S408). Here, if it is determined that the reel stop command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the reel stop command reception process (S409), and ends the effect content determination process. In the reel stop command reception process, effect data based on the information transmitted as the reel stop command is set. For example, effect data for outputting a reel stop sound is set.

On the other hand, when determining that the reel stop command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the lock command has been received (S410). Here, when it is determined that the lock command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the lock command reception process (S411), and ends the effect content determination process. In the process at the time of receiving the lock command, effect data based on the information transmitted as the lock command is set. For example, effect data for displaying an image according to the type of lock is set.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the lock command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the winning operation command has been received (S412). Here, if it is determined that the winning operation command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a winning operation command reception time process described later in the description of FIG. 88 (S413), and ends the effect content determination process. .. In the process for receiving the winning operation command, the effect data based on the information transmitted as the winning operation command is set. For example, effect data for outputting a payout sound corresponding to the number of payouts corresponding to a winning combination is set. Further, for example, when the game state shifts, effect data for displaying an image indicating that is set.

On the other hand, when determining that the winning operation command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the bonus start command has been received (S414). Here, if it is determined that the bonus start command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a bonus start command reception time process (S415), and ends the effect content determination process. In the bonus start command reception process, effect data based on the information transmitted as the bonus start command is set. For example, effect data for displaying the initial value of the bonus end number counter corresponding to the type of bonus to be started is set.

On the other hand, when determining that the bonus start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the bonus end command has been received (S416). Here, if it is determined that the bonus end command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a bonus end command reception time process described later in the description of FIG. 89 (S417), and ends the effect content determination process. .. In the bonus end command reception process, effect data based on the information transmitted as the bonus end command is set. For example, effect data for suggesting a game state to be transferred after the bonus ends is set.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus end command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not a no-operation command has been received (S418). If it is determined that the no-operation command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a no-operation command reception process (S419), and ends the effect content determination process.

In the non-operation command reception process, the effect data may be changed based on the information transmitted as the non-operation command. For example, when the effect data determined in the start command reception process is effect data requesting repeated hits of the BET button 22, the BET button 22 received as a no-operation command is in the on-edge state or the off-edge state. The effect data is changed based on the information. On the other hand, when determining in S418 that the no-operation command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the effect content determination process.

<Process when start command is received>
FIG. 80 is a flowchart showing the start command reception time process executed in step S405 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG. 79.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not it is in the PBB game state (S430). When the sub CPU 102 determines that it is in the PBB game state (YES), it refers to the number of additional ART games in PBB shown in FIG. 28, and determines the number of additional ART games based on the internal winning combination (S431). The determined additional ART game number is added to the ART game number (S432), and the process proceeds to step S442.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S430 that it is not in the PBB game state (NO), subsequently, it determines whether it is in the ART game (S433). When the sub CPU 102 determines that it is in the ART game (YES), it executes an ART game process described later in the description of FIG. 81 (S434), and proceeds to the process of step S442.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S433 that the ART game is not in progress (NO), it subsequently determines whether or not the battle CZ is in progress (S435). When the sub CPU 102 determines that it is in the battle CZ (YES), it executes a process during battle CZ described later in the description of FIG. 84 (S436), and proceeds to the process of step S442.

When determining in the process of step S435 that the battle CZ is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 102 subsequently determines whether or not the normal BB is in progress (S437). If the sub CPU 102 determines that it is in the normal BB (YES), it executes a process in the normal BB described later in the description of FIG. 85 (S438), and proceeds to the process of step S442.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S437 that the normal BB is not in progress (NO), it subsequently determines whether or not the item CZ is in progress (S439). When the sub CPU 102 determines that it is in the item CZ (YES), it executes a process in the item CZ described later in the description of FIG. 86 (S440), and proceeds to the process of step S442.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S439 that the item CZ is not being executed (NO), it executes a normal game process described later in the description of FIG. 87 (S441), and proceeds to the process of step S442.

Next, if the effect data is not set yet, the sub CPU 102 sets the effect data at the start according to the internal winning combination and the like (S442), and ends the processing at the time of receiving the start command. In the process of step S442, for example, during the addition BB or during the battle CZ, the HP subtraction success/failure and start effect data according to the HP subtraction value are set, and during the normal BB, the card acquisition success/failure is determined. The start effect data according to the type is set, and if the item CZ, the start effect data according to the type of the card to be used and the result of the ART lottery is set. Start effect data corresponding to the internal winning combination is set.

<Process during ART game>
FIG. 81 is a flowchart showing the ART in-game processing executed in step S434 of the start command reception processing shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 sets the navigation data during the ART game according to the internal winning combination (S450). In the process of step S450, for example, in the RT0 gaming state, when the "push order small winning combination" is determined as the internal winning combination, the "RT transition symbols 1 to 8" are displayed to shift to the RT1 gaming state, and thus stopped. The navigation data during the ART game in which the operation order is not notified is set. In addition, in the RT1 gaming state, when "RT2 transition rep" is determined as the internal winning combination, in order to transition to the RT2 gaming state, "RT2 transition rep 1, 2" is displayed and the stop operation order is notified. The navigation data during the ART game is set.

In addition, in the RT2 gaming state, when "RT2 maintenance rep" is determined as the internal winning combination, in order to maintain the RT2 gaming state, "normal rep 1-8" is notified of the stop operation order. When the navigation data during the ART game is set and "RT3 transition rep" is determined as the internal winning combination, "RT3 transition rep 1, 2" is displayed in order to shift to the RT3 game state. The navigation data during the ART game in which the stop operation sequence is notified is set. In addition, in the RT3 gaming state, when "RT3 maintenance rep" is determined as the internal winning combination, in order to maintain the RT3 gaming state, "normal rep 1-8" is notified of the stop operation sequence. The navigation data during the ART game is set. In addition, in the RT1 to 3 gaming states, when the "push order small winning combination" is determined as the internal winning combination, the medals are increased, and in the RT2 and RT3 gaming states, the RT gaming state is maintained. "1-4", "cross-up bell", or "middle bell" will be displayed, and the navigation data during the ART game informing of the stop operation sequence is set. In the unit game in which the bonus combination is determined as the internal winning combination and the symbol combination of the determined bonus combination can be displayed, the navigation data during the ART game in which the determined combination of the symbol combination of the bonus combination is notified May be set.

Further, in the present embodiment, the current RT gaming state is a replay low probability state (for example, RT0 gaming state or RT1 gaming state), and a replay high probability state, and an RT gaming state in which an ART game is performed (RT3 gaming state). ) Different from the RT game state (RT2 game state), it is supposed to be managed as being in the "ART game", but when it is decided to shift to the ART game, RT3 game When the state has not been changed, the management may be performed in the "ART preparation state", which is a different management state. That is, the RT game state in which the ART game is performed (RT3 game state) and the other RT game states (for example, RT0 to RT2 game states) may be managed by different management states.

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the additional BB is in progress (S451). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the additional BB is in progress (YES), it executes the additional BB in-process described later in the description of FIG. 82 (S452), and ends the ART in-game process.

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S451 that the additional BB is not in progress (NO), subsequently, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the special additional state is in effect (S453). When the sub CPU 102 determines that it is in the special addition state (YES), it executes the special addition state process (S454) and ends the ART game process. In this special addition state process, as described above, the continuous lottery for the set in the special addition state and the lottery for the number of additional ART games are performed.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S453 that the special addition state is not in effect (NO), subsequently, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the preferential treatment mode lock flag is on (S455). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not it is in the above-mentioned preferential treatment state during the ART game. When the sub CPU 102 determines that the preferential mode lock flag is ON (YES), the sub CPU 102 proceeds to the process of step S460.

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S455 that the preferential mode lock flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), then the sub CPU 102 internally wins the same color bonus (ie, BB1 or BB3). It is determined whether or not (S456). If it is determined that the same color bonus is internally won (YES), the process proceeds to step S458.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S456 that the same color bonus is not internally won (NO), it is subsequently determined whether the different color bonus (that is, BB2 or BB4) is internally won in the preferential mode. It is determined whether or not (S457). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the different color bonus is internally won in the preferential treatment mode (YES), it turns on the preferential treatment mode lock flag (S458), and proceeds to the processing of step S460.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S457 that the different color bonus is not internally won in the preferential mode (NO), the sub CPU 102 refers to the ART mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. 58 to win the internal winning combination. Based on the lottery result, the mode transition lottery is executed (S459), and the mode during the ART game is set.

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes an ART game number update (subtraction) process (S460). In this ART game number update (subtraction) process, during the addition game BB, during the ART game other than the special addition state, and in the RT3 game state, the number of ART games set for each unit game is "1." "Subtract and update each. Therefore, for example, when shifting to the ART game after ending the PBB gaming state, the ART game number is not subtracted in the RT0 to 2 gaming states, and the subtraction of the ART game number is started after shifting to the RT3 gaming state. The Rukoto. During the ART game, the player performs a stop operation according to a stop operation procedure different from the notified stop operation procedure, and when the RT3 game state is changed to the RT1 game state, the RT3 game state is changed again. The number of ART games is subtracted even before that. Further, in the RT4 gaming state, which is the internal winning state of the bonus combination, the ART game number may not be subtracted and updated, or the ART game number may be subtracted and updated until the internal lottery result is announced.

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes an ART game end check process, which will be described later in the description of FIG. 83 (S461), and ends the ART game process.

<Additional BB processing>
FIG. 82 is a flowchart showing the additional BB process executed in step S452 of the ART game process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 sets a push order small win (small win/replay data pointer value is “26” to “37”) or RB medium/small win (small win/replay data pointer value is “45”). It is determined whether or not the internal winning is achieved (S470). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the internal winning of the push order small win or the RB medium and small win is internally determined (YES), the number of times the lottery is possible is incremented by “1” (S471). It should be noted that the number of possible lottery may be incremented by "1" even when the internal winning of "Unquestioned Bell" (the value of the small win/replay data pointer is "38").

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S470 that it has not internally won the push order small win or the RB medium/small win (NO), or if the process of step S471 has been performed, the lottery is possible. It is determined whether the number of times is “5” or more (S472). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of times the lottery is possible is “5” or more (YES), it finishes the add-on BB process. That is, when the number of winnings of the push order small win or the RB medium/small win reaches 5, the lottery for shifting to the special addition state in the "additional BB" (that is, the subtraction lottery of "HP") Will end the lottery period.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S472 that the number of times the lottery is possible is not “5” or more (NO), it refers to the HP HP subtraction success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 50 to determine the enemy type and the internal winning combination. Based on, the HP subtraction success/failure lottery is executed (S473). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the HP subtraction success/failure lottery has been won (S474). When the sub CPU 102 determines that it has won the HP subtraction success/failure lottery (YES), it refers to the HP HP subtraction value lottery table shown in FIG. 51 to determine the HP subtraction value based on the internal winning combination, and The HP subtraction value determined from the HP value of is subtracted (S475).

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S474 that the HP subtraction success/failure lottery has not been won (that is, no win) (NO), or if the process of step S475 has been performed, the sub CPU 102 subsequently performs the above-described process. It is determined whether the number of consecutive replays is “5” or more (S476). If the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of consecutive replays is “5” or more (YES), it refers to the HP subtraction success/failure lottery table during REP consecutive ART shown in FIG. 52 and based on the enemy type and the number of consecutive replays. Then, the HP subtraction success/failure lottery is executed (S477). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the HP subtraction success/failure lottery has been won (S478). When the sub CPU 102 determines that it has won the HP subtraction success/failure lottery (YES), the HP consecutive subtraction lottery table for ART during the rep consecutive enemy A to C shown in FIG. 53, or the consecutive repeat enemy shown in FIG. 54. By referring to the HP HP subtraction value lottery table for D ART, the HP subtraction value is determined based on the number of consecutive replays, and the determined HP subtraction value is subtracted from the current HP value (S479).

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S478 that the HP subtraction success/failure lottery has not been won (that is, no win) (NO), or when the process of step S479 has been performed, the current CPU It is determined whether the HP value is "0" or less (S480). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the current HP value is equal to or less than “0” (YES), the special addition state flag, which is information for shifting to the special addition state after the addition BB ends, is turned on ( In S481), the process of adding BB is ended. Also, when it is determined that the current HP value is not equal to or less than "0" (that is, equal to or more than "1") (NO), the process of adding BB is ended.

<ART game end check processing>
FIG. 83 is a flow chart showing the additional BB process which is executed in step S461 of the ART game process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of ART games is “0” (S490). When it is determined that the number of ART games is not "0" (that is, "1" or more) (NO), the ART game end check processing is ended. On the other hand, when determining that the number of ART games is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 102 subsequently determines whether or not there is a stock of the number of ART games (S491). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is the number of ART games added by the addition of the number of bells described above. When determining that the number of ART games is in stock (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds the number of ART games in stock to the number of ART games (S492), and ends the ART game end check processing. Although illustration is omitted, along with the process of step S492, effect data indicating that there is a stocked number of ART games and what the stocked number of ART games was Is set.

In the process of step S491, when the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of ART games is not stocked (NO), it subsequently determines whether the number of ART sets is “1” or more (S493). When determining that the number of ART sets is “1” or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets an initial value (50) to the number of ART games (S494), and subtracts “1” from the number of ART sets ( (S495), the ART game end check process ends.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the processing of step S493 that the number of ART sets is not “1” or more (that is, “0”) (NO), the sub CPU 102 uses the ART end mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. The mode shift lottery is executed with reference (S496), and the normal game mode is set based on the lottery result. Next, the sub CPU 102 sets the normal game from the next game (S497), sets the ceiling game number to the initial value (0) (S498), and ends the ART game end check process. Although illustration is omitted, the sub CPU 102 determines in the processing of step S493 that the number of ART sets is not equal to or larger than “1” (that is, “0”) (NO), which is preferential treatment. When the mode lock flag is on, the preferential mode lock flag is turned off.

<Processing during battle CZ>
FIG. 84 is a flowchart showing the process during battle CZ executed in step S436 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the ART winning flag is on (S500). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the transition to the ART game has already been decided during the battle CZ. If the sub CPU 102 determines that the ART winning flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), then the push order small win (the value of the small win/replay data pointer is “26” to). It is determined whether or not the internal winning is “37”) or the RB medium/small combination (the value of the small/replay data pointer is “45”) (S501). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the internal winning of the pushing order small win or the RB medium/small win is internally determined (YES), the number of times the lottery is possible is incremented by “1” (S502). It should be noted that the number of possible lottery may be incremented by "1" even when the internal winning of "Unquestioned Bell" (the value of the small win/replay data pointer is "38").

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the processing of step S501 that the internal winning of the pushing order small winning combination or the RB medium/small winning combination has not been internally performed (NO), or if the processing of step S502 is performed, the lottery can be subsequently performed. It is determined whether the number of times is “5” or more (S503). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of possible lottery is “5” or more (YES), the process during the battle CZ is ended. That is, when the number of winnings of the push order small win or the RB medium and small win is 5, the lottery for shifting to the ART game (that is, the subtraction lottery of “HP”) is performed in the “battle CZ”. The lottery period to be conducted will end.

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S503 that the number of possible lottery is not “5” or more (NO), it refers to the HP subtraction success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 30, and based on the character type and the internal winning combination. Then, the HP subtraction success/failure lottery is executed (S504). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the HP subtraction success/failure lottery has been won (S505). When the sub CPU 102 determines that it has won the HP subtraction success/failure lottery (YES), the HP A subtraction value lottery table for character A shown in FIG. 31, the HP subtraction value lottery table for character B shown in FIG. 32, or FIG. The HP subtraction value lottery table for character C shown in is referred to, the HP subtraction value is determined based on the internal winning combination, and the determined HP subtraction value is subtracted from the current HP value (S506).

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S505 that the HP subtraction success/failure lottery has not been won (that is, non-win) (NO), or when the process of step S506 has been performed, the sub CPU 102 subsequently described above. It is determined whether the number of continuous replays is “5” or more (S507). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of consecutive replays is “5” or more (YES), it refers to the HP consecutive HP subtraction success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 34, and determines whether HP subtraction is successful or not based on the number of consecutive replays. A lottery is executed (S508). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the HP subtraction success/failure lottery has been won (S509). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the HP subtraction success/failure lottery has been won (YES), the HP consecutive value A HP subtraction value lottery table shown in FIG. 35 and the lip consecutive character B HP subtraction value shown in FIG. The HP subtraction value lottery table for the rep consecutive characters C shown in FIG. 37 is referred to, the HP subtraction value is determined based on the number of consecutive replays, and the determined HP subtraction value is subtracted from the current HP value. Yes (S510).

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S509 that the HP subtraction success/failure lottery has not been won (that is, non-win) (NO), or if the process of step S510 has been performed, then the current CPU It is determined whether the HP value is "0" or less (S511). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the current HP value is not equal to or smaller than “0” (that is, equal to or larger than “1”) (NO), the processing during the battle CZ ends. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 102 determines that the current HP value is less than or equal to “0” (YES), it turns on the ART winning flag (S512) and sets the ART game count to the initial value (50). Yes (S513).

Next, the sub CPU 102 refers to the ART game number addition success/failure lottery table during ART winning during battle CZ shown in FIG. 38, and executes the ART game number addition lottery based on the number of possible lottery and the internal winning combination (S514). ). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the player has won the additional lottery for the number of ART games (S515). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the additional lottery for the number of ART games has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 refers to the additional ART game number lottery table during ART winning during battle CZ shown in FIG. The number of ART games to be added (multiple) is determined, the number of ART games is added according to the determination result (S519), and the process during battle CZ is ended. The sub CPU 102 also ends the process during the battle CZ even when it is determined that the additional lottery for the number of ART games has not been won (that is, no win) (NO).

In the process of step S500, when the sub CPU 102 determines that the ART winning flag is ON (YES), it refers to the ART game number addition success/failure lottery table in the battle CZ shown in FIG. 40 to win the internal winning combination. Based on the number of ART games, the lottery is executed (S516).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the player has won the additional lottery for the number of ART games (S517). When it is determined that the number of additional ART games has been won (YES), the number of additional ART games to be added is determined based on the internal winning combination by referring to the additional number of ART games lottery table in the battle CZ shown in FIG. , The number of ART games is added according to the determination result (S518), and the process during the battle CZ ends. The sub CPU 102 also ends the process during the battle CZ even when it is determined that the additional lottery for the number of ART games has not been won (that is, no win) (NO).

Thus, in the present embodiment, during a predetermined special game state (for example, battle CZ), based on the internal winning combination, whether or not to update a specific numerical value (for example, HP) is selected by lottery (for example, HP). A subtraction value lottery) is performed, and when this specific numerical value becomes a specific update result (for example, "0" or less), it is determined to shift to a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game). Is configured to.

Further, in the present embodiment, whether or not to update a specific numerical value (for example, HP) based on the number of consecutive winnings of a specific combination (for example, replay combination) is determined by lottery (for example, HP subtraction value lottery). Is configured to take place.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is further determined whether or not to win a lottery (for example, HP subtraction lottery) for updating a specific numerical value (for example, HP) or not. It is configured to vary by.

In addition, in the present embodiment, during a predetermined special game state (for example, battle CZ), a specific combination (for example, replay) is triggered by the transition of establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, internal winning of “JAC”). The winning probability of a winning combination is increased (for example, the game is transferred to the RT2 game state during BB).

In addition, in the present embodiment, when a specific numerical value (for example, HP) becomes a specific update result (for example, “0” or less), the number of winnings of a predetermined small winning combination including the pushing small winning combination (for example, , The number of games (for example, the number of ART games) in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) can be added based on the number of times of lottery.

With such a configuration, it is possible to carry out a lottery lottery with respect to a lottery (for example, a lottery for shifting to an ART game) whether or not to notify the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous to the player. ..

In addition, in the present embodiment, during a predetermined special game state (for example, battle CZ), whether or not to update the above-described specific numerical value (for example, HP) is determined by a lottery period (for example, the number of times the lottery is possible). Is defined as 5 times), and during this lottery period, a predetermined number of winnings of a predetermined small win including a pushing small win in a predetermined special game state (for example, battle CZ) is a predetermined number of times ( For example, it is configured to end when it reaches 5 times.

With such a configuration, even if the player intentionally misses the push order small win, the lottery period does not increase, and thus the game store is prevented from suffering an unfortunate disadvantage. be able to. In other words, while appropriately weighing the profits of the player and the game store, the player is more versatile in the lottery (eg, the lottery for shifting to the ART game) whether or not to notify the procedure of the stop operation that is advantageous to the player. You can do a lot of lottery.

<Normal BB processing>
FIG. 85 is a flowchart showing the process during normal BB executed in step S438 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the ART winning flag is on (S530). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not it is already decided to shift to the ART game during the normal BB. If the sub CPU 102 determines that the ART winning flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), then the push order small win (the value of the small win/replay data pointer is “26” to). It is determined whether or not the internal winning is “37”) or the RB medium/small combination (small combination/replay data pointer value is “45”) (S531). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the internal winning of the pushing order small win or the RB medium and small win is internally determined (YES), the number of times the lottery is possible is incremented by “1” (S532). It should be noted that the number of possible lottery may be incremented by "1" even when the internal winning of "Unquestioned Bell" (the value of the small win/replay data pointer is "38").

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S531 that it has not internally won a push order small win or an RB medium/small win (NO), or if it has performed the process of step S532, the sub CPU 102 can subsequently perform a lottery. It is determined whether the number of times is “5” or more (S533). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of possible lottery is “5” or more (YES), it ends the normal BB process. That is, when the number of winnings of the push order small win or the RB medium and small win reaches 5, the lottery of the lottery right (that is, " The lottery period in which the “card” lottery) will be conducted will end.

In the process of step S533, when the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of possible lottery is not “5” or more (NO), the sub CPU 102 refers to the card acquisition success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 42, and based on the internal winning combination, An acquisition success/failure lottery is executed (S534). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the card acquisition success/failure lottery has been won (S535). When the sub CPU 102 determines that it has won the card acquisition success/failure lottery (YES), it refers to the card type lottery table shown in FIG. 43, determines the card type based on the internal winning combination, and determines the determined card type. Is stored and the number of cards is updated (S536).

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S535 that the card acquisition success/failure lottery has not been won (that is, non-win) (NO), or if the process of step S536 has been performed, the sub CPU 102 subsequently performs the above-described process. It is determined whether the number of continuous replays is “5” or more (S507). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of consecutive replays is “5” or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 refers to the rep consecutive card acquisition success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 44, and based on the number of consecutive replays, the card success/failure. A lottery is executed (S538). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the card acquisition success/failure lottery has been won (S539). When the sub CPU 102 determines that it has won the card acquisition success/failure lottery (YES), it refers to the card type lottery table shown in FIG. 45, determines the card type based on the number of consecutive replays, and determines the determined card type. Is stored and the number of cards is updated (S540).

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S539 that the card acquisition success/failure lottery has not been won (that is, non-win) (NO), or if the process of step S540 has been performed, then the current CPU It is determined whether the number of cards is "8" or more (S541). When the sub CPU 102 determines that the current number of cards is not equal to or larger than “8” (that is, equal to or smaller than “7”) (NO), the process during normal BB is ended. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 102 determines that the current number of cards is equal to or more than “8” (YES), it turns on the ART winning flag (S542) and sets the ART game number to the initial value (50). (S543).

Next, the sub CPU 102 refers to the card surplus ART game number lottery table shown in FIG. 48, executes the lottery of the additional ART game number for each surplus card type, and adds the ART game number in accordance with the lottery result. Then (S544), the normal BB process is ended.

In the process of step S530, if the sub CPU 102 determines that the ART winning flag is ON (YES), it refers to the normal BB ART game number addition success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 46 to win the internal winning combination. Based on the number of ART games, the lottery is executed (S545).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the player has won the additional lottery for the number of ART games (S546). When determining that the sub CPU 102 has won the additional lottery for the number of ART games (YES), the sub CPU 102 refers to the regular BB additional lot number ART game lottery table and determines the number of additional ART games based on the internal winning combination. The number of ART games is added according to the determination result (S518), and the normal BB process is ended. In addition, when the sub CPU 102 determines that it has not won the additional lottery for the number of ART games (that is, non-winning) (NO), it also ends the normal BB process.

As described above, in the present embodiment, during a predetermined special game state (for example, normal BB), based on the number of consecutive winnings of a specific combination (for example, replay combination), a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) ) Of a plurality of types of lottery rights (for example, cards) having different expectations, and a predetermined lottery state (for example, item) that is transferred after a predetermined special game state (for example, normal BB) ends In CZ), a transition lottery of a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) according to the granted lottery right is performed.

With such a configuration, in a predetermined special game state (eg, normal BB), the lottery as to whether or not to shift to a specific advantageous game state (eg, ART game) is indirectly (ie, the lottery right). Therefore, as compared with the case where the lottery of whether or not to shift to a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) is directly performed, a predetermined special game state (for example, It is possible to increase the probability of winning the lottery in the normal BB (that is, the lottery for the lottery right).

In addition, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned lottery right (for example, a card) is given based on an internal winning combination during a predetermined special game state (for example, a normal BB). ..

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the number of granted lottery rights (for example, the number of cards) becomes a predetermined number (for example, 8 cards) or more, without shifting to a predetermined lottery state (for example, item CZ), It is configured to shift to a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game).

With such a configuration, it is possible to carry out a lottery lottery with respect to a lottery (for example, a lottery for shifting to an ART game) whether or not to notify the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous to the player. ..

In addition, in the present embodiment, during a predetermined special game state (for example, normal BB), a specific combination (for example, replay is performed) when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, internal winning of “JAC”). Special combination low probability state in which the winning probability of the winning combination is low (for example, RT0 gaming state during BB), high specific probability ratio state in which the winning probability of the specific winning combination (for example, replay combination) is high (for example, RT2 gaming state in BB) When a predetermined special game state (for example, a normal BB) is finished, and a special combination high probability state (for example, a BB RT2 game state) is reached, at least a predetermined lottery state ( For example, in item CZ), the specific winning combination high probability state is inherited (RT game state is set).

With this configuration, during a predetermined special game state (for example, normal BB), a specific winning combination (for example, replay winning combination) has a high probability of being drawn (for example, BB RT2 game state). Even in such a case, the interest of the game can be further enhanced without the game becoming monotonous.

Further, in the present embodiment, during the predetermined special game state (for example, normal BB), the above-mentioned lottery right (for example, card) is drawn for a lottery period (for example, until the number of times the lottery is possible reaches 5 times). The period) is stipulated, and during this lottery period, the number of winnings of a predetermined small winning combination including a pushing order small winning combination in a predetermined special game state (for example, normal BB) becomes a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times). It is configured to terminate.

With such a configuration, even if the player intentionally misses the push order small win, the lottery period does not increase, and thus the game store is prevented from suffering an unfortunate disadvantage. be able to. In other words, while appropriately weighing the profits of the player and the game store, the player is more versatile in the lottery (eg, the lottery for shifting to the ART game) whether or not to notify the procedure of the stop operation that is advantageous to the player. You can do a lot of lottery.

<Processing during item CZ>
FIG. 86 is a flowchart showing the item CZ-in-process executed in step S440 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 sets navigation data in the item CZ according to the internal winning combination (S560). In the process of step S560, in the RT2 game state, if "RT2 maintenance rep" is determined as the internal winning combination, "normal rep 1-8" is displayed in order to maintain the RT2 game state. Stop operation When the navigation data during the ART game that informs the order is set and "RT3 transition rep" is determined as the internal winning combination, "RT3 transition rep 1, 2" is displayed to prevent the transition to the RT1 game state. The navigation data in the item CZ for notifying the different stop operation sequence is set. Further, in the RT3 gaming state, if "RT3 maintenance rep" is determined as the internal winning combination, the stop operation sequence in which "regular rep 1-8" will be displayed is notified in order not to shift to the RT1 gaming state. The navigation data in the item CZ is set. In addition, in the RT0, RT2 or RT3 gaming state, when the “push order small winning combination” is determined as the internal winning combination, the number of medals is increased, and in the RT2 and RT3 gaming states, the RT1 gaming state is not changed, The item CZ middle navigation data for notifying the stop operation order in which the "upper bells 1 to 4", "cross-up bell", or "middle bell" is displayed is set. In addition, in the unit game in which the bonus combination is determined as the internal winning combination, and the symbol combination of the determined bonus combination can be displayed, the navigation data in the item CZ in which the determined combination of the symbol combination of the bonus combination is notified May be set.

In addition, when the RT gaming state at the time of starting the item CZ is the RT0 gaming state, if the "push order small winning combination" is determined as the internal winning combination, the "RT transition symbols 1 to 8" are displayed and the RT1 gaming state is set. In order to shift, the navigation data in the item CZ for which the stop operation order is not notified may be set. Also, in the transitioned RT1 game state, if "RT2 transition lip" is determined as the internal winning combination, "RT2 transition lip 1, 2" will be displayed in order to shift to the RT2 game state The navigation data in the item CZ that is notified may be set.

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes the ART transfer lottery based on the card type and the internal winning combination with reference to the item CZ ART lottery table shown in FIG. 49 (S561). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the player has won the ART transfer lottery (S561). When it is determined that the player has won the ART transfer lottery (YES), the ART game is set from the next game (S563), and the initial value (50) is set to the ART game number (S564).

Next, the sub CPU 102 refers to the ART game number addition lottery bell winning number lottery table shown in FIG. 55 to determine the number of bell winnings (S566). Next, the sub CPU 102 refers to the card surplus ART game number lottery table shown in FIG. 48, executes the lottery of the additional ART game number for each surplus card type, and adds the ART game number in accordance with the lottery result. Then (S567), the process during the item CZ ends.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S562 that the ART transition lottery has not been won (that is, non-win) (NO), the number of item CZ games is subtracted by "1" (S568), and subsequently, , It is determined whether the number of item CZ games is “0” (S569). If it is determined that the number of item CZ games is "0" (YES), the normal game is set from the next game (S570), the ceiling game number is set to the initial value (0) (S571), and the item CZ is set. Medium processing ends. Further, when the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of item CZ games is not “0” (that is, is “1” or more) (NO), it also ends the item CZ in-process.

In the present embodiment, in the process of step S561, the ART transfer lottery corresponding to the expected number (“LV (level)”) of the number of acquired cards is sequentially performed according to the card acquisition order in the normal BB. However, the mode of the ART transfer lottery is not limited to this. For example, when there are a plurality of acquired cards at the time of item CZ transition and the expectations of these cards are different, the cards with higher expectations are given priority in the ART transition lottery. The lottery right lottery order changing process for rearranging the order of the cards may be performed. Alternatively, the lottery right lottery order changing process for rearranging the order of the cards may be performed so that the cards with lower expectations are prioritized in the ART transfer lottery. With this configuration, it is possible to further improve the player's expectation during a predetermined period in the item CZ (that is, the first half period or the second half period of the item CZ).

Further, for example, when there are a plurality of acquired cards at the time of shifting to the item CZ, a lottery right lottery order changing process may be performed in which a lottery for rearranging the order of the cards is performed. With this configuration, it is possible to change a period of high expectation in the item CZ.

Thus, in the present embodiment, during the lottery right granting game state (for example, normal BB), a plurality of lottery rights (for example, different lottery rights with different expectations for shifting to a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game)) A plurality of lottery rights can be granted from among the cards), and in a predetermined lottery state (for example, item CZ), a specific advantageous game state is sequentially specified according to the degree of expectation corresponding to the granted lottery right. The transfer lottery (for example, ART game) is configured to be performed.

With such a configuration, it is possible to carry out a lottery lottery with respect to a lottery (for example, a lottery for shifting to an ART game) whether or not to notify the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous to the player. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, in a predetermined lottery state (for example, item CZ), when a transition lottery in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) is won, and when a lot is given to the granted lottery right. The number of games (for example, the number of ART games) in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) is configured to be added based on the remaining lottery right.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the number of lottery rights granted (for example, the number of cards) reaches a predetermined number (for example, eight cards) in the lottery right grant game state (for example, normal BB), a specific advantageous game It is configured to shift to a state (for example, ART game), and in this case, a predetermined number of lottery rights are all remaining lottery rights, and the number of games in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) (for example, The number of ART games) can be added.

With this configuration, even if a lottery right not used in the lottery occurs in the predetermined lottery state, the lottery right is not wasted, and the stop operation is advantageous for the player. Since the number of games in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) in which the procedure of is notified is increased, whether or not to notify the procedure of the stop operation which is advantageous for the player is selected (for example, ART). The lottery for the transition to the game) can be made more interesting.

<Processing during normal game>
FIG. 87 is a flowchart showing the normal game process executed in step S441 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether it is between PBB flags (S580). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not it is in the internal winning state of “PBB”. When it is determined that it is between the PBB flags (YES), the normal game process is ended. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 102 determines that it is not between the PBB flags (NO), subsequently, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the PBB is internally elected (S581). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not "PBB" is determined as the internal winning combination in the unit game this time. When it is determined that the PBB has been internally won (YES), an initial value (50) is set to the number of ART games (S582), and the number of ART sets (for example, the number of ART sets “3”, “4”, “5”). “Either” is selected by lottery (S583), PBB notification effect data for notifying that the PBB has been internally won is set (S584), and the normal game process is ended.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S581 that the PBB has not been internally won (NO), subsequently, the sub CPU 102 determines whether it is between the BB flags (S585). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not it is in the internal winning state of “BB1 to 4”. If it is determined that the flag is between the BB flags (YES), then it is determined whether the notified flag is on (S586). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the internal winning of the bonus combination (BB1 to BB4) has already been performed, and whether the type thereof has been notified. When it is determined that the notified flag is ON (YES), the normal game process is ended.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S586 that the notified flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), it subtracts "1" from the number of precursor games (S587), and then the precursor. It is determined whether or not the number of games is "0" (S588). When it is determined that the number of precursor games is "0" (YES), the notification flag is turned on (S589), the fact that the bonus combination (BB1 to 4) has been internally won, and the type of the notification are notified. Performance data is set (S590), and the normal game process is ended. If the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of precursor games is not “0” (that is, is “1” or more) (NO), the process proceeds to step S601.

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S585 that it is not between the BB flags (NO), subsequently, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the BB is internally won (S591). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not any of “BB1 to 4” is determined as the internal winning combination in the unit game this time. When it is determined that the BB has been internally won (YES), the number of precursor games is determined based on the internal winning combination by referring to the BB pre-winning game number lottery table shown in FIG. 61 (S592). Although illustration is omitted, along with the processing of step S592, effect data for executing continuous effect corresponding to the determined number of precursor games is set.

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the current mode is the battle mode (S593). If it is determined that the current mode is the battle mode (YES), the battle mode lock flag is turned on (S594), and the process proceeds to step S588. Also, if it is determined that the current mode is not the battle mode (that is, the normal mode) (NO), the process proceeds to step S588. When the internally-winned bonus combination is the same color bonus (that is, BB1 or BB3), the process of step S594 may be performed without performing the process of step S593.

When determining in the process of step S591 that the BB is not internally won (NO), the sub CPU 102 subsequently determines whether or not the winning combination is internally won (S595). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not “BAR complete rep” has been determined as an internal winning combination. When it is determined that the winning combination has been internally won (YES), the ART game is set from the next game (S596), the initial value (50) is set to the ART game number (S597), and the ART set number (for example, The number of ART sets "2", "3", "4", or "5") is determined by lottery (S598).

Next, the sub CPU 102 refers to the ART game number addition lottery bell winning number lottery table shown in FIG. 55, determines the number of bell winnings (S599), and informs that the final winning combination is internally won. The effect data is set (S600), and the normal game process is ended.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S595 that the internal winning combination has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 subsequently determines whether or not the battle mode lock flag is on (S601). When it is determined that the battle mode lock flag is on (YES), the normal game process is ended. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 102 determines that the battle mode lock flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), subsequently, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the announced flag is on (S602). When it is determined that the notified flag is ON (YES), the normal game process is ended.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the processing of step S602 that the notified flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), the ceiling game number is incremented by "1" (S603). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of ceiling games is "500" (S604). When it is determined that the number of ceiling games is "500" (YES), the battle mode lock flag is turned on (S605), and the normal game process is ended.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the processing of step S604 that the ceiling game number is not "500" (NO), it subsequently determines whether or not it is between BB flags (S585). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not it is in the internal winning state of "BB1 to 4" (including the internally-winned unit game). When it is determined that it is not between the BB flags (NO), the normal mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. 59 is referred to, the mode transition lottery is executed based on the internal winning combination (S607), and the normal routine is performed based on the lottery result. The mode in game is set, and the normal game process is ended. Also, when it is determined that it is between the BB flags (YES), the normal game process is ended.

In the present embodiment, in the process of step S595, it is determined whether or not the specific winning combination "BAR matching rep", which is a specific replay, is internally won as the definite winning combination. It is not limited to. For example, it may be determined that a specific small winning combination (for example, the second chance) is also a fixed winning combination, and it may be determined whether or not the specific small winning combination is internally won. Also, when a predetermined winning combination (for example, normal rip 2) is internally won, it is determined by lottery whether or not to notify about a specific stop operation procedure (for example, right-middle-left), and it is determined to be notified. If it is done, it may be determined that the winning combination has been internally won. In this case, when a predetermined winning combination (for example, normal rip 2) is internally won, and a stopping operation is performed in a specific stopping operation procedure (for example, right middle left), a symbol relating to a fixed winning combination The combination (for example, "BAR matching lip") may be displayed on the activated line.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the process of step S591, when it is determined that the BB is internally won (YES), and when it is determined in the process of step S593 that the current mode is the battle mode ( YES), the battle mode lock flag is set to be turned on in the process of step S594, but if the current mode is in the battle mode when the notified flag is turned on in the process of step S589, the battle mode lock flag is turned on. The mode lock flag may be turned on. In this case, the mode shift lottery may be performed in the process of step S607 until the number of precursor games is "0" without performing the process of step S606.

Further, in this case, even after the number of predictive games becomes “0”, if the current mode is the normal mode, the mode shift lottery may be performed in the process of step S607. With this configuration, it is possible to relieve a player who is unfamiliar with the press. However, in order to prevent the action of intentionally avoiding the winning of BB by pushing and trying to shift to the battle mode, the mode shift lottery after the number of precursor games becomes "0" is shown in FIG. It is desirable that the lottery be performed based on a lottery value having a lower winning probability than the lottery value defined in the normal mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. Furthermore, it is desirable that the player is not notified of the result of the mode transition lottery after the number of precursor games has become “0”.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the special combination (for example, BB1 to BB4) is determined as the internal winning combination, the number of predictive games until the notification that the special combination is internally won is determined. It is determined whether or not the number of ceiling games including the number of precursor games has been reached, and if it is determined that the number of ceiling games has been reached, a transition is made by winning a special part (for example, BB1 to 4). The special game state is controlled to the first special game state (for example, battle CZ), and when it is determined that the ceiling game number has not been reached, the special game to be shifted by the winning of the special combination (for example, BB1 to BB) It is configured to control the state to the second special game state (for example, normal BB).

With such a configuration, even if the player has a ceiling function, it is possible for the player to fully enjoy the amusement of the aura effect.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the special combination (for example, BB1 to 4) is determined by the internal winning combination by performing the mode transition lottery based on the predetermined transition condition, the specific mode (for example, the battle mode). In the case of, it is configured to control the special game state that shifts due to the winning of a special combination (for example, BB1 to 4) to the first special game state (for example, battle CZ).

In addition, in the present embodiment, when a special winning combination (for example, BB1 to BB4) is determined as an internal winning combination, the number of precursor games until the notification that the internal winning is obtained for this special winning combination is determined, Until the number of predictive games is exhausted, a mode transition lottery to a specific mode (for example, a battle mode) may be performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a special combination (for example, BB1 to BB4) is determined as an internal winning combination, the number of predictive games until the notification of the internal winning of the special combination is notified is determined. Until the number of aura games is exhausted, the first transition probability (for example, the probability based on the lottery value defined in the normal medium mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. 59) is used to enter the specific mode (for example, the battle mode). A mode transition lottery is performed, and after the number of predictive games is exhausted, a mode transition to a specific mode (for example, a battle mode) is performed with a second transition probability lower than the first transition probability. The lottery may be performed.

With such a configuration, the first special game state (for example, battle CZ) is a relatively advantageous special game state until it is notified that the special role is internally won or until the special role is won. You can give a sense of expectation to move to.

<Processing when winning command is received>
FIG. 88 is a flowchart showing the winning operation command reception process executed in step S413 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG. 79.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether “BB1 to 4” is displayed (S610). That is, the sub-PU 102 determines whether or not any symbol combination of "BB1 to 4" is displayed on the activated line. When it is determined that "BB1 to 4" are displayed (YES), it is subsequently determined whether or not an ART game is being performed (S611). When it is determined that the ART game is in progress (YES), the additional BB is set from the next game (S612), the initial value of the enemy type (enemy A), and the initial value of HP (60) are set (S613). ).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is a stored enemy type or remaining HP (S614). That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the enemy character (enemy type) has been updated in the additional BB before the previous time, or whether the subtracted HP (remaining HP) is retained in the additional BB before the previous time. .. If it is determined that there is a stored enemy type or remaining HP (YES), the initial value of the enemy type (enemy A) and the initial value of HP (60) set in step S613 are replaced, The stored enemy type or the remaining HP is set (S615), and the process at the time of receiving the winning operation command is ended. In addition, when the sub CPU 102 determines that there is no stored enemy type or remaining HP (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the winning operation command reception process.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S611 that the ART game is not in progress (NO), subsequently, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the battle mode lock flag is on (S616). When it is determined that the battle mode lock flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), the normal BB is set from the next game (S617), and the winning operation command reception process is ended.

In the process of step S616, if the sub CPU 102 determines that the battle mode lock flag is ON (YES), it sets the battle CZ from the next game (S618) and sets the initial HP value (60). (S619), referring to the battle CZ middle character lottery table shown in FIG. 29, a teammate character is determined based on the set value, the determined teammate character type is set (S620), and the winning operation command reception process is performed. To finish.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S610 that "BB1 to 4" are not displayed (NO), subsequently, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not a bell is displayed (S621). That is, the sub CPU 102 internally wins the push order small winning combination, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop operation procedure, and any one of the “upper bells 1 to 4”, the “cross-up bell”, or the “middle bell”. It is determined whether or not the combination of symbols is displayed on the activated line. In the process of step S621, it is also possible to internally win an unquestioned bell and determine whether or not any symbol combination of "crossdown bells 1 to 4" is displayed on the activated line. Good. If it is determined that the bell is not displayed (NO), the winning operation command reception process is ended.

When the sub CPU 102 determines that the bell is displayed in the process of step S621 (YES), subsequently, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the ART game is in progress (S622). If it is determined that the ART game is not in progress (NO), the winning operation command reception process is ended.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S622 that the ART game is in progress (YES), it subsequently determines whether or not the number of bell winnings has reached the determined number (S623). If it is determined that the number of bell winnings has not reached the determined number (NO), the winning operation command reception process is ended.

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the processing of step S623 that the number of times of winning the bell has reached the determined number (YES), it refers to the ART game number addition success/failure lottery table shown in FIG. 56. Then, the additional lottery for the number of ART games is executed (S624). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the player has won the additional lottery for the number of ART games (S625). If the sub CPU 102 determines that it has won the additional lottery for the number of ART games (YES), it refers to the additional ART game number lottery table at the time of reaching the number of bell winnings shown in FIG. 57 to determine the number of additional ART games, The number of ART games is stocked and stored according to the determination result (S626).

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S625 that it has not won the additional lottery for the ART game (that is, non-win) (NO), or if it has performed the process of step S626, then Referring to the ART game number addition lottery bell winning number lottery table shown in FIG. 55, the bell winning number is determined again (S627), and the winning operation command reception time process is ended.

Thus, in the present embodiment, in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) in which the procedure of the stop operation that is advantageous to the player is informed, a predetermined object to be notified of the procedure of the stop operation is notified. The number of games (for example, the number of ART games) in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) can be added according to the number of winnings of a small winning combination (for example, Bell).

Further, in the present embodiment, at least when it is determined to shift to a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game), the number of games in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) (for example, ART game) The number of winnings of a predetermined small winning combination (for example, a bell) for which the additional lottery is performed is determined.

In the present embodiment, the number of games (for example, the number of ART games) in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) is added according to the number of winnings of a predetermined small winning combination (for example, bell), and lottery is performed. If the player wins, the number of winnings of a predetermined small win (for example, bell) will be determined in which the number of games (for example, the number of ART games) in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) will be added again. Is configured to be.

With such a configuration, it is possible to give an expectation of adding the number of games in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) without winning a specific small role called a "rare role". ..

Further, in the present embodiment, further, in a specific advantageous game state (eg, ART game), based on an internal winning combination, the number of games in a specific advantageous game state (eg, ART game) (eg, ART game number) ) May be added.

However, in this case, the specific combination (that is, the “rare combination”, for example, the “bonus overlapping combination” in the ART lottery table in the item CZ shown in FIG. 49, or “chance 1” and “chance 2”) Is determined as an internal winning combination, the probability that the number of games (for example, the number of ART games) in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) is added is at least a predetermined small combination (for example, Bell). When is determined as an internal winning combination, it is desirable that the number of games (for example, the number of ART games) in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) is higher than the probability of being added.

With such a configuration, the number of games (for example, the number of ART games) to be added in an advantageous game state (for example, ART game) in which the procedure of the stop operation that is advantageous to the player is notified is richer in variety. In addition to being able to perform the lottery and not biasing the timing of the addition, it is possible to always give an expectation of addition in a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game).

<Process when receiving bonus end command>
FIG. 89 is a flowchart showing the bonus end command reception time process executed in step S417 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG. 79.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not it is the end of the PBB gaming state (S640). When it is determined that the PBB game state is over (YES), the process proceeds to step S660. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 102 determines that it is not the end time of the PBB gaming state (NO), then it determines whether it is the end time of the additional BB (S641). When it is determined that the addition BB is finished (YES), it is subsequently determined whether or not the special addition state flag is ON (S642). If it is determined that the special addition state flag is on (YES), the special addition state flag is turned off (S643), and the enemy type is updated and stored (S644). Here, the enemy type is based on the fact that the HP is "0" or less in the additional BB (that is, the effect that the ally character defeats the enemy character is executed), and the enemy A, the enemy B, and the enemy C. , The enemy D is updated in order.

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the preferential treatment mode lock flag is on (S645). When it is determined that the preferential treatment mode lock flag is on (YES), the preferential treatment mode lock flag is turned off (S646), the special addition state (preferred treatment) is set from the next game (S647), and the bonus end command is received. The process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the preferential mode lock flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), the special addition state (normal) is set from the next game (S648), and the bonus end command reception process is ended. To do. That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether to set the special addition state to the preferential treatment state based on whether the preferential treatment mode lock flag is ON.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the processing of step S642 that the special addition state flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), the current enemy type and the remaining HP are stored (S649). For example, when the enemy B is determined during the additional BB, the enemy B is stored as the enemy type so that the target enemy B is determined again during the next additional BB. In addition, when the total of HP subtraction values determined during the lottery period during the additional BB is “20”, the remaining HP initial value in the additional BB is set to “40 (60-20)”. “40” is stored as HP. Next, the sub CPU 102 sets the ART game from the next game (S650) and ends the bonus end command reception process.

If the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S641 that it is not the end of the additional BB (NO), then it determines whether it is the end of the battle CZ (S651). When it is determined that the battle CZ has ended (YES), the battle mode lock flag is turned off (S652), and subsequently it is determined whether the ART winning flag is on (S653). If it is determined that the ART winning flag is ON (YES), the ART game is set from the next game (S654), and the ART game number addition lottery bell winning number lottery table shown in FIG. The number of winnings is determined (S655), the additional ART game number display control process is executed (S656), and the bonus end command reception process is ended.

In this additional ART game number display control process, the additional ART game number decided in the process of step S518 of the battle CZ process shown in FIG. 84 and the process of step S519 of the battle CZ process shown in FIG. 84 are decided. The number of added ART games to be added is to be shown by a similar effect. For example, in the process of step S518 of the process during battle CZ shown in FIG. 84, the number of ART games to be added is determined to be “50”, and in the process of step S519 of the process during battle CZ shown in FIG. When the number of games (multiple) is determined to be “double”, the number of ART games is “150” including the initial value “50”. In this case, for example, after displaying the initial value "50" of the number of ART games, "+50" is displayed twice or "+100" is displayed to show the number of additional ART games. Become. Further, for example, the total number of ART games “150” may be displayed. That is, in this embodiment, in a specific game state (for example, during the battle CZ), a lottery opportunity (at the time of winning the transition lot of the ART game or after winning the ART game) and a lottery method (how many times the number of additional ART games are added) Even if a plurality of additional lottery with different numbers of lottery or different number of additional ART games) are made, at the end of a specific game state (for example, during the battle CZ) Are configured so that similar displays are made.

By thus configuring and not clearly indicating which additional lottery has been added, it is possible to improve the interest in notifying the result of the lottery.

In the process of step S653, if the sub CPU 102 determines that the ART winning flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), it sets the normal game from the next game (S657), and sets the number of ceiling games. The initial value (0) is set (S658), and the bonus end command reception process is ended.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the process of step S651 that it is not the end of the battle CZ (NO), it is the end of the normal BB, and then determines whether or not the ART winning flag is on. It is determined (S659). When it is determined that the ART winning flag is ON (YES), the ART game is set from the next game (S660), and the ART number of games additional lottery bell winning number lottery table shown in FIG. The number of winnings is determined (S661), and the bonus end command reception process is ended.

When the sub CPU 102 determines in the processing of step S659 that the ART winning flag is not on (that is, it is off) (NO), it sets the item CZ from the next game (S662), and sets the number of cards to the item. The number of CZ games is set to (S663), and the bonus end command reception process is ended.

As described above, in the present embodiment, during a predetermined game period (for example, additional BB), based on the internal winning combination, whether or not to update a specific numerical value (for example, HP) by lottery (for example, HP subtraction value) Lottery) is performed, and when this specific numerical value becomes a specific update result (for example, "0" or less), a predetermined privilege (for example, transition to a special addition state, which is a special advantageous game state) Are configured to be given.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a specific numerical value (for example, HP) does not become a specific update result (for example, “0” or less), a predetermined update result (for example, remaining HP) is held, and in the next predetermined game period, whether or not the held predetermined update result is a specific update result is selected by lottery.

With such a configuration, even if the privilege is not granted, the update result of the specific numerical value during the predetermined game period is not wasted, so that the interest of the game can be prevented from being deteriorated. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, when it is decided to shift to a predetermined game period (for example, additional BB) (for example, when any of BB1 to BB4 is decided as an internal winning combination), a specific If the preferential treatment condition (for example, the preferential treatment mode lock flag is on) is satisfied, the privilege is granted preferentially, and the preferential condition is maintained until the privilege is granted. ing.

With this configuration, even if the privilege is not granted, if the privilege is granted in the predetermined game period after the next time, the preferential treatment state is maintained, and the interest of the game is reduced. It can be prevented.

Further, in the present embodiment, whether or not to update a specific numerical value (for example, HP) based on the number of consecutive winnings of a specific combination (for example, replay combination) is determined by lottery (for example, HP subtraction value lottery). Is configured to take place.

In addition, in the present embodiment, further, during a predetermined special game state (for example, BB addition), the establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, internal winning of "JAC") is used as a transition trigger, and a specific combination (for example, , Replay combination) has a higher winning probability (for example, transitions to the RT2 gaming state during BB).

With such a configuration, it is possible to perform a lottery lottery with respect to the granting of a predetermined privilege (for example, a transition to the special addition state, which is the special advantageous game state).

As described above, according to the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, at least the following gaming machines according to the first to tenth inventions can be provided.

[Game Machine According to First Invention]

A first invention is a symbol display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R and a display window 4) for variably displaying a plurality of symbols in a plurality of columns, and an internal winning combination determining means (for example, a main winning combination). Internal lottery process by the CPU 93), a symbol variation start control means (for example, reel rotation start processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 93) for starting the variation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means, and displayed on the symbol display means Symbol fluctuation stop control means for stopping the fluctuation of the symbol (for example, reel stop control processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 93), and fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means by the symbol fluctuation stop control means is stopped. Then, based on the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination (for example, bonus combination) being displayed on the symbol display unit, the special game state control unit (for example, normal BB) for controlling the special game state (for example, normal BB). A bonus operation check process by the main CPU 93, and a winning operation command reception process by the sub CPU 102), and an advantageous game in which a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) is notified in which a procedure of a stop operation advantageous to the player is notified. The state control means (for example, the sub CPU 102), and the advantageous game state lottery means (for example, the sub CPU 102) for lottery whether or not to shift to the specific advantageous game state, and the advantageous game state lottery means, In the special gaming state, when the internal winning combination determining means determines a specific winning combination (for example, a replay winning combination) for a predetermined number of times (for example, five times) or more in succession, it is expected to shift to the specific advantageous gaming state. A lottery right is given from a plurality of types of lottery rights (for example, LV1 to LV7 cards) with different degrees, and after the special game state is finished, the lottery right is shifted to a predetermined lottery state (for example, item CZ), and the predetermined lottery is given. In the state, based on the lottery right granted, whether or not to shift to the specific advantageous game state is drawn by lottery.

In the first invention, the advantageous game state lottery means further gives the lottery right based on the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means in the special game state. The gaming machine described above.

Further, in the first invention, the advantageous game state lottery means has a number of the lottery rights (for example, the number of cards) given in the special game state, which is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, “8 cards”). In this case, it is determined that the particular advantageous game state is to be entered without transitioning to the predetermined lottery state (for example, item CZ) after the end of the special game state, and the game described above. It is a machine.

Also, in the first invention, the special game state control means determines the internal winning combination based on that a predetermined condition is satisfied in the special game state (for example, internal winning of “JAC”). A high-probability-specific-probability state in which the probability that the specific combination is determined by the internal winning combination determination means is high, from a low-probability combination of a specific combination in which the probability that the specific combination is determined by the means is low (for example, RT0 gaming state in BB) (For example, in BB RT2 game state), when the special game state ends, when the special combination high probability state, the specific combination height is at least in the predetermined lottery state The above-mentioned gaming machine is characterized in that the probability state is inherited (for example, the RT2 game state is set in step S155 of FIG. 69).

According to the gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention, a lottery with more variety can be performed with respect to a lottery (for example, a lottery for shifting to an ART game) whether or not to notify a procedure of a stop operation that is advantageous to the player. It can be carried out.

[Game Machine According to Second Invention]

In recent years, a procedure for a stop operation that refers to a point selection table during bonus (eg, BB) operation, accumulates points by lottery based on an internal winning combination, and is advantageous to the player after the bonus ends according to the accumulated points There is known a game machine that informs the user (for example, Prior Art Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-79698).

However, in the gaming machine shown in the prior art document 1, the point indicating whether or not to notify the procedure of the stop operation that is advantageous to the player is simply determined by the lottery based on the internal winning combination, so that the bonus There was a problem that the game during operation became monotonous.

Further, in the gaming machine shown in the prior art document 1, the bonus is configured such that its operation ends when a predetermined number of medals are paid out. Therefore, for example, when a predetermined small winning combination is won during the bonus operation, but it is possible to perform a stop operation so as not to win the predetermined small winning combination, the number of point lottery is intentionally increased. However, there has been a problem that the gaming shop may suffer an unexpected disadvantage.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of performing a lottery lottery in lottery.

The second invention is a symbol display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R and display window 4) for variably displaying a plurality of symbols in a plurality of columns, and an internal winning combination determining means (for example, a main winning combination). Internal lottery process by the CPU 93), a symbol variation start control means (for example, reel rotation start processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 93) for starting the variation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means, and displayed on the symbol display means Symbol fluctuation stop control means for stopping the fluctuation of the symbol (for example, reel stop control processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 93), and fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means by the symbol fluctuation stop control means is stopped. Then, based on the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination (for example, bonus combination) being displayed on the symbol display unit, the special game state control unit (for example, normal BB) for controlling the special game state (for example, normal BB). A bonus operation check process by the main CPU 93, and a winning operation command reception process by the sub CPU 102), and an advantageous game in which a specific advantageous game state (for example, ART game) is notified in which a procedure of a stop operation advantageous to the player is notified. The special game state control means includes state control means (for example, the sub CPU 102) and advantageous game state lottery means (for example, the sub CPU 102) that draws whether or not to shift to the specific advantageous game state. In the special game state, a combination of symbols (for example, a combination of symbols related to "bell") corresponding to a predetermined small combination (for example, "push order small combination" and "RB medium and small combination") is displayed on the symbol display means. When it is displayed a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times), the special game state is ended, and the advantageous game state lottery means, in the special game state, has a predetermined lottery period (for example, the number of possible lottery is “5”). During a period of less than), when the internal winning combination determination means determines a specific combination (for example, a replay combination) a specific number of times (for example, 5 times) or more in succession, the specific advantageous game state is entered. A lottery right is given from a plurality of types of lottery rights (for example, LV1 to LV7 cards) with different expectations, and the predetermined lottery state (for example, item CZ) is moved after the special game state is finished, and the predetermined number is given. In the lottery state, based on the granted lottery right, a lottery is made as to whether or not to shift to the specific advantageous game state, and the predetermined winning period is the internal winning combination determining means in the special game state. The number of times the predetermined small role was determined by Is ended based on the predetermined number of times, the predetermined small winning combination is not displayed on the symbol display means, in accordance with the player's stopping operation procedure, of the symbols corresponding to the predetermined small winning combination. The gaming machine is characterized by including a specific small win (for example, "push order small win").

Further, in a second aspect of the present invention, the advantageous game state lottery means further includes: in the special game state, based on an internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means during the predetermined lottery period. The gaming machine described above, characterized in that it is given a lottery right.

Further, in the second invention, the number of the lottery rights (for example, the number of cards) given in the special game state in the advantageous game state lottery means is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, “8 cards”). In this case, it is determined that the particular advantageous game state is to be entered without transitioning to the predetermined lottery state (for example, item CZ) after the end of the special game state, and the game described above. It is a machine.

In a second aspect, the special game state control means determines the internal winning combination based on that a predetermined condition is satisfied in the special game state (for example, internal winning of "JAC"). The above-mentioned gaming machine is characterized by increasing the probability that the specific combination is determined by means.

With the gaming machine according to the second aspect of the present invention, a lottery (for example, to an ART game) whether or not to notify the procedure of the stop operation that is advantageous to the player while appropriately weighing the profits of the player and the game store With regard to the transfer lottery), it is possible to carry out a lottery with more variety.

[Game Machine According to Eighth Invention]
In recent years, when a specific small winning combination with a relatively low winning probability, called the so-called "rare winning combination", is decided as the internal winning combination, a specific advantageous operation that notifies the player of a stop operation procedure that is advantageous There is known a gaming machine that adds the number of games in the gaming state (for example, the number of ART games) (for example, Prior Art Document 4: JP2013-220271A).

By the way, in the gaming machine shown in the prior art document 4, the winning probability is relatively high, and when a normal small winning combination for increasing medals in a specific advantageous gaming state is determined as an internal winning combination, a specific advantage is obtained. The number of games in the game state is not added.

Further, from the viewpoint of maintaining an appropriate payout rate, in general, in the gaming machine as disclosed in the prior art document 4, the winning probability of the above-mentioned specific winning combination is set to be extremely low. Many.

Therefore, in many cases, the specific advantageous game state ends without the specific small combination described above being determined as an internal winning combination. In such a case, the player plays the game in the specific advantageous game state. There was a problem that it was not possible to have the expectation of adding the number of times, which would rather reduce the interest of the game.

The eighth invention is made in view of such a point, and in the advantageous game state in which the procedure of the stop operation that is advantageous to the player is informed, the number of games can be increased without winning a specific small winning combination. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can give a sense of expectation of addition.

An eighth invention is a symbol display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R and a display window 4) for variably displaying a plurality of symbols in a plurality of columns, and an internal winning combination determining means (for example, a main winning combination). Internal lottery process by the CPU 93), a symbol variation start control means (for example, reel rotation start processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 93) for starting the variation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means, and displayed on the symbol display means Symbol fluctuation stop control means (for example, reel stop control processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 93) for stopping the fluctuation of the symbol that is performed, and a specific advantageous game state in which a procedure of a stop operation advantageous to the player is notified (for example, , ART game) advantageous game state control means (for example, sub CPU 102), and additional lottery means (for example, sub CPU 102) for lottery whether or not to increase the number of games in the particular advantageous game state. The additional lottery means determines a specific winning number (for example, a bell winning number) of a predetermined small winning combination (for example, a pushing order small winning combination) when it is determined to control to the specific advantageous gaming state. Whether or not to add the number of games in the particular advantageous game state based on that the number of prizes of the predetermined small winning combination has reached the determined number of the specific prizes in the particular advantageous game state Is drawn (for example, the lottery shown in step S624 of FIG. 88 is performed), and the predetermined small winning combination is a small winning combination to be notified of the procedure of the stop operation. ..

An eighth aspect of the present invention is based on that, in the specific advantageous game state, the additional lottery means determines that the number of winnings of the predetermined small win is the determined number of specific winnings.

The tenth invention has been made in view of such a point, and in a gaming machine that grants a privilege based on the fact that a specific winning combination is continuously won, it is possible to increase the control load for granting the privilege. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of producing an effect in which an operation by a player is invalidated for a predetermined period.

A tenth invention is a symbol display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R and a display window 4) for variably displaying a plurality of symbols in a plurality of columns, and an internal winning combination determining means (for example, a main winning combination). Internal lottery process by the CPU 93), a symbol variation start control means (for example, reel rotation start processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 93) for starting the variation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means, and displayed on the symbol display means Symbol fluctuation stop control means for stopping the fluctuation of the symbol (for example, reel stop control processing and reel control processing by the main CPU 93), and fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means by the symbol fluctuation stop control means is stopped. Then, based on the symbol combination corresponding to the specific combination (eg, replay combination) being displayed on the symbol display means, a re-game operation means (for example, a bonus operation by the main CPU 93) for activating a re-game in the next game. (Check process and medal acceptance/start check process), and from when the symbol combination corresponding to the specific winning combination is displayed on the symbol display means until the symbol variation start control means can start symbol variation , A re-game operation waiting time setting means (for example, a process of step S53 of FIG. 65) for setting a re-game operation waiting time (for example, a replay operation recognition time) for operating the re-game, and the internal winning combination determination Means for providing a predetermined benefit based on the number of times the specific combination is continuously determined by the means (for example, the number of consecutive replays), and the re-game operation waiting time. The setting means sets the re-game operation waiting time according to the number of times the specific winning combination is continuously determined by the internal winning combination determining means.

Further, a tenth invention is an advantageous game state control means (for example, a sub CPU 102) for controlling to a specific advantageous game state (for example, an ART game) in which a procedure of a stop operation advantageous for a player is notified, and the re-operation. Further, a notification means (for example, a speaker) for notifying that the re-game is operated by the game operation means, and the notification means, by the re-game operation means during the re-game operation waiting time, It is possible to inform that the game is operated (for example, it is possible to output an automatic sound), and the privilege granting means determines the number of times the specific winning combination is continuously determined by the internal winning combination determining means. Based on the predetermined privilege, a lottery right (for example, a card) for giving a lottery as to whether or not to shift to the specific advantageous game state is given based on the above-mentioned gaming machine. is there.

According to the gaming machines according to these inventions, it is possible to perform an effect (for example, a lock effect) in which the operation by the player is invalidated for a predetermined period without increasing the control load regarding the grant of the privilege.

Further, a tenth aspect of the present invention, the fluctuation of the symbols displayed on the symbol display means is stopped by the symbol fluctuation stop control means, and a combination of symbols corresponding to a special combination (for example, a bonus combination) is displayed on the symbol display means. Based on the displayed, special game state control means for controlling to a special game state (for example, normal BB) (for example, bonus operation check processing by the main CPU 93, and winning operation command reception processing by the sub CPU 102), The special game state control means, in the special game state, based on that the internal winning combination determining means determines a transition combination (eg, RB in BB) as an internal winning combination, the internal winning combination determining means determines. The specific combination high probability state in which the specific combination is highly determined (for example, BB RT2 game state) is transitioned to, and in the specific combination high probability state, displayed on the symbol display means by the symbol variation stop control means. Based on the fact that the variation of the symbols to be stopped is stopped and the combination of symbols corresponding to the transitional combination is displayed on the symbol display means, the specific winning combination with a low probability that the specific winning combination is determined by the internal winning combination determining means is low. After shifting to a low-probability state (for example, an RB in BB gaming state), the privilege granting means determines, in the special gaming state, the number of times that the specific winning combination is continuously determined by the internal winning combination determining means by a predetermined number of times ( For example, 5 times or more), the predetermined privilege is given, and the re-game operation waiting time setting means determines the number of times the specific winning combination is continuously determined by the internal winning combination determining means. If the number is less than the number of times, the first re-game operation waiting time (for example, "270" as the value of the automatic insertion interval waiting time timer) is set, and the specific winning combination is continuously performed by the internal winning combination determining means. When the determined number of times is the predetermined number of times or more, a second re-game operation waiting time longer than the first re-game operation waiting time (for example, "540" as the value of the automatic insertion interval waiting time timer). ) Is set, in the specific winning combination high probability state, the fluctuation of the symbols displayed on the symbol displaying means is stopped by the symbol fluctuation stop control means, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the transition winning combination is displayed on the symbol displaying means. Based on the display, a lock control means (for example, a game by the main CPU 93) that performs lock control for a specific time shorter than the first re-game operation waiting time (for example, "268" as the value of the lock timer). The game described above, further comprising an end-time lock execution process) It is a machine.

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, in the special game state (for example, the normal BB), it is difficult to give a predetermined privilege, which is an effect (for example, lock effect) in which the operation by the player is invalidated for a predetermined period. It can be recognized by the player depending on the execution time.
