A pachi-slot machine which is a gaming machine showing an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 115. First, referring to FIG. 1, a functional flow according to the embodiment of the gaming machine will be described.

In the pachi-slot machine of the present embodiment, medals are used as a game medium for playing a game. As the game medium, coins, game balls, game point data, tokens or the like can be applied in addition to medals.

When a player inserts a medal and operates the start lever, one value (hereinafter, a random number value) is extracted from random numbers in a predetermined numerical value range (for example, 0 to 65535).

The internal winning combination determination means performs a lottery based on the extracted random number value to determine an internal winning combination. That is, when the start lever is operated, the internal winning combination determination means determines an internal winning combination from a plurality of winning combinations with a predetermined winning probability, assuming that a predetermined start condition is satisfied. This internal winning combination determination means is carried out by the main control circuit described later. By the determination of the internal winning combination, the combination of symbols that is allowed to be displayed along the below-described winning determination line is determined. The types of symbol combinations include those related to “winning” in which benefits such as payout of medals, operation of re-play, operation of bonus, etc. are given to the player, and those related to other so-called “miss”. Is provided.

Further, when the start lever is operated, the plurality of reels are rotated.

In the pachi-slot machine, 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 this specified time is referred to as the “number of sliding pieces”. If the specified time is 190 msec, the maximum number of sliding pieces is set to 4 symbols, and if the specified time is 75 msec, the maximum number of sliding pieces is set to 1 frame.

The reel stop control means, when the internal winning combination permitting the combination display of the symbols relating to the winning is determined, normally, the combination of the symbols is within the specified time of 190 msec (4 symbols), and the winning combination is the winning determination line. Stop the rotation of the reel so that it is displayed along with as much as possible. Further, the reel stop control means uses various prescribed times corresponding to the gaming state to rotate the reels so that a combination of symbols which is not permitted to be displayed by the internal winning combination is not displayed along the winning determination line. Stop.

The winning determination means is based on the fact that the reel stop control means stops all the rotations of the plurality of reels and the fluctuation of the symbols is stopped, and the winning or non-winning of the winning combination is based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the winning determination line. Determine the prize. The winning determination means is carried out by the main control circuit described later. When it is determined by the prize determination means that the winning combination is a prize, a bonus such as payout of medals is given to the player. In the pachi-slot machine, the above-described series of flows is performed as one game.

In addition, in the pachi-slot machine, in the above-mentioned sequence of processes, the video display performed by the image display device such as a liquid crystal display device, the light output performed by various lamps, the sound output performed by the speaker, or a combination thereof is used. And various productions are performed.

When the start lever is operated, a random number value for rendering (hereinafter, a random number value for rendering) is extracted in addition to the random number value used for determining the internal winning combination described above. When the random number value for effect is extracted, the effect content determination means randomly determines, from among a plurality of types of effect content associated with the internal winning combination, the effect content to be executed this time. The sub-control circuit described later plays a role of this effect content determination means.

When the effect content is determined, the effect execution means executes the corresponding effect in association with each trigger such as the start of rotation of the reels, the stop of rotation of each reel, the determination of the presence or absence of a prize. As described above, in the pachi-slot machine, the player has the opportunity to know or predict the determined internal winning combination (in other words, the combination of the symbols to be aimed for) by executing the effect contents associated with the internal winning combination. It is possible to improve the interest of the player.

Here, the main CPU 93 is configured to transmit the above-mentioned various signals to the external device 200 via the external centralized terminal board 56 as signals representing the state of the pachi-slot machine 1. In this way, the main CPU 93 constitutes a state transmission means.

[Change of game state]
As the game state of the pachi-slot machine 1, the main CPU 93 is adapted to shift two game states, a main game state and an RT game state, respectively.

<Change of main game state>
As shown in FIG. 7, the main CPU 93 takes one of a normal gaming state and a BB gaming state as the main gaming state. In the general gaming state, the main gaming state shifts to the BB gaming state when a winning combination of a big bonus (hereinafter, simply referred to as “BB”) as a bonus game is won. Here, the BB is always in the internally winning state from the time when the winning combination is won until the winning combination of the winning combination of the BB is won. Hereinafter, this state is referred to as a “BB carry-over state”.

In the BB game state, the main game state is when the BB end condition is satisfied, specifically, when the number of medals to be paid out exceeds the specified number (86 in the present embodiment) in the BB game state. Shifts to the general game state. The operation and termination of the BB are controlled by the main CPU 93. In this way, the main CPU 93 constitutes a bonus game control means.

The main CPU 93 takes one of a BB general gaming state and an RB gaming state as the BB gaming state.

When the general game state is changed to the BB game state, the main game state is changed to the BB general game state. In the BB general gaming state, the main gaming state shifts to the RB gaming state when the winning combination of the RB is won. Here, the RB is always in the internal winning state from the time when the internal winning is won until the winning combination of the RB is won, and this state is hereinafter referred to as “RB carry-over state”.

In the RB gaming state, the winning probability of each small winning combination is stipulated to be low, but the display probability that the combination of symbols forming any one small winning combination is displayed is set to be higher than that in the BB general gaming state. ing.

In the RB gaming state, the main gaming state is when the RB ending condition is satisfied, specifically, when the number of games in the RB gaming state is a prescribed number (in this embodiment, once), or When the number of winnings of the small winning combination with the payout reaches the specified number (in the present embodiment, once), the game is transferred to the BB general gaming state. The transition of the main game state in such a BB game state is controlled by the main CPU 93. In this way, the main CPU 93 constitutes a bonus game state transition control means.

In the RB game state, the main game state shifts to the normal game state when the BB end condition is satisfied. Further, in the RB carry-over state, the main game state shifts to the normal game state when the BB end condition is satisfied.

<Change of RT game state>
In the general gaming state, the main CPU 93 takes one of the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state as the RT gaming state. That is, the main CPU 93 shifts the RT gaming state between the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state. In this way, the main CPU 93 constitutes RT game state transition control means.

The RT1 gaming state is a replay high probability state (high RT gaming state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination is relatively higher than the RT0 gaming state.

In the RT0 gaming state of the general gaming state, the RT gaming state shifts to the RT1 gaming state when the working combination of BB is determined as the internal winning combination. On the other hand, in the RT1 gaming state of the normal gaming state, the RT gaming state shifts to the RT0 gaming state when the winning combination of the BB wins and then the BB ends.

Here, the RT1 gaming state and the RT0 gaming state are not RTs managed by the number of games, and only shift to another gaming state when the above-described shift condition is satisfied. In that sense, the RT1 gaming state and the RT0 gaming state are infinite RT.

In addition, as the transition condition of the RT gaming state, instead of the transition condition as described above, a combination of specific symbols is displayed as a combination of symbols for winning the winning combination of BB, ending of BB, and transitioning the RT gaming state. It may be that the unit game is executed a predetermined number of times.

[Sub game status of gaming machines]
FIG. 8 is a state transition diagram of the sub game state in the pachi-slot machine 1. As described above, while the RT game state is shifted by the main CPU 93, the sub CPU 102 determines the contents of the effect, thereby notifying the stop operation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, thereby giving an internal winning combination. For the player, winning or non-winning is advantageous, and the sub game state is changed.

In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a game state transition means for transitioning the game state to the advantageous game state in which information of advantageous stop operation regarding medal provision is notified when the specific condition is satisfied.

In the present embodiment, the advantageous game state corresponds to "AT", which is a state in which the sub CPU 102 notifies the stop operation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R so that the internal winning combination is won or won in favor of the player. To do.

Further, in the present embodiment, “AT” includes “GG”, “EG”, “PEG”, and “SEG” described later. Further, a state in which the AT state and the RT game state are high replay probability states is referred to as "ART".

<GG>
The "GG" is performed with a predetermined number of games (100 games in the present embodiment) as one set. In this way, since it is possible to win the internal winning combination in the GG without increasing the number of medals, it is possible to obtain more medals as the number of GG sets increases. be able to. Therefore, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, adding the number of GG sets (hereinafter, also referred to as “addition”) has a great influence on the acquisition of medals.

When the specific condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to GG. The specific conditions include winning a lottery according to the internal winning combination, and winning a lottery according to the history of the internal winning combination as a result of the unit game. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a game state transition means.

It is stored in a predetermined storage area of the sub RAM 103 (hereinafter referred to as "CZ information stock"), and when it is decided to shift to CZ when the sub game state is the AT state, as a second special mode. The CZ can be stocked by accumulating the second special mode stock information indicating the shift to CZ3 or CZ4 of CZ3 in the CZ information stock.

When the sub game state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 determines a plurality of decorative symbols to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11, in the present embodiment, three decorative symbols by lottery. Specifically, when the sub game state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 randomly determines at least one decorative symbol to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 every time a stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a decorative symbol determining means.

Each time the sub CPU 102 determines a decorative pattern, the sub CPU 102 displays the determined decorative pattern on the image display means. Thus, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a decorative symbol display means. When the sub game state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to GG when the special transition condition that the types of the three decorative symbols to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same.

Specifically, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub gaming state to any of CZ1 to CZ4 according to the sub gaming state when shifting to CZ. When the sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is CZ (CZ1 or CZ2) that has shifted from normal, if the special transition condition that the types of the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same is satisfied, , The sub game state is transferred to GG.

On the other hand, the sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is CZ (CZ3 or CZ4) transitioned from GG, if the special transition condition that the types of the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same is satisfied. In addition, GG is added.

Further, the sub CPU 102, when the sub gaming state is CZ, even if the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are not the same type, the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is predetermined. Each time a specific combination of decorative symbols (hereinafter referred to as "GG winning reach") is configured, GG is added and the sub game state is maintained at CZ until the CZ end condition is satisfied.

In the present embodiment, the CZ end condition includes that the special transition condition is satisfied and that the CZ has continued for 5 games. It should be noted that the GG winning reach is not displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 when the sub game state is normal, and the liquid crystal display device during the GG main sign from when the sub game state is won to when the sub game state is changed to GG. It is included in the reach eye which is the display result displayed in 11.

Further, the sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is CZ, the next in the CZ, provided that the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 partially includes a combination of decorative symbols of the same type. In the unit game of, hold (HOLD) is performed to maintain the combination of decorative symbols of the same type, and decorative symbols that are not maintained are determined by lottery.

In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102 will be described as a decorative symbol that is not maintained in the next unit game in the CZ, which is determined by lottery on condition that the sub CPU 102 holds the hold. In the unit game, each time a stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S, a decorative symbol that is not maintained may be randomly determined.

In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102 does not necessarily hold the liquid crystal display, provided that the combination of the decorative designs displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 partially includes a combination of decorative designs of the same type. Hold is performed on condition that the combination of the decorative patterns displayed on the device 11 is a special combination among the combinations partially including the same type of decorative patterns.

For example, when the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is “7S7”, the hold is performed as shown in FIG. 111, but the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is “7S7”. In the case of "7V7", the hold is not performed.

<EG>
When the specific shift condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to an additional game state (hereinafter, referred to as “EG”) in which lottery for additional GG is performed as a prescribed unit game number over 16 games.

For example, the sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is CZ, when "SSS" is displayed as a special symbol combination on the liquid crystal display device 11, the sub game state is shifted to GG and is also shifted to EG. Let

When the sub game state is EG, the sub CPU 102, for example, wins an internal winning combination in which the red 7 is aligned in the display window 4, and the red 7 alignment is displayed in the display window 4 as a predetermined symbol combination. On the condition that GG is added, rewind is performed to set the number of remaining games in EG to 16 which is the specified number of unit games. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes an additional game number setting means.

When the GG is added when the sub game state is EG, the sub CPU 102 advantageously adds the GG to the player according to the number of remaining games in the EG. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes an advantageous game state addition means.

Specifically, when the sub game state is EG, the sub CPU 102 adds GG with a higher continuation rate as the number of remaining games in EG is smaller. Here, the GG continuity rate refers to the probability that GG will be further added when GG is added. That is, the sub CPU 102 performs the lottery until the winning rate becomes non-win at the continuation rate of GG, and adds the GG for the number of times of winning.

<PEG>
When the sub game state is EG, when the special transition condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 102 has a higher probability of being added to GG, which is relatively higher than EG (hereinafter referred to as “PEG”). The sub game state is transferred to. Special transition conditions include winning the PEG promotion lottery that is performed when the sub gaming state transitions to EG, and winning the rewinding lottery to rewind to the PEG.

When the sub game state is PEG, the sub CPU 102 adds GG on the condition that the rewind is won, and sets the number of remaining games in EG to 16 to set the sub game state by rewind lottery. Transfer to EG or PEG.

[Main control processing]
The main CPU 93 of the main control board 41 executes various processes according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

<Main control processing>
FIG. 59 is a flowchart showing the main control processing. The main control process described below starts 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. 60 (S10). In this power-on process, it is determined whether the backup is normal or the setting change is appropriately performed, and the initialization process is executed according to the determination result.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes an initialization process at the end of one game (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 storing area and the display winning combination storing area of the main RAM 95 are cleared.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the medal acceptance/start check process shown in FIG. 61 (S12). In the 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 three random number values (random number values 1 to 3) and stores them in the random number value storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S13). Here, the random number value 1 is a value used for the internal lottery process, and is extracted from 0 to 65535 in the present embodiment.

The random number values 2 and 3 are values used for other lottery processing, and in the present embodiment, they are extracted from 0 to 65535 and 0 to 255, respectively. The main CPU 93 need not always extract the random number values 2 and 3 in step S13, and may extract the random number values 2 and 3 only when the use occurs.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the internal lottery process shown in FIG. 62 (S14). The main CPU 93 that executes this internal lottery process constitutes an internal winning combination determination means.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes reel stop initialization processing shown in FIG. 64 (S16). By this reel stop initialization processing, each information (for example, stop table number) related to reel stop control 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 board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated start command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S17).

The start command data represents, for example, the type of the game state flag, the value of the bonus end number counter, the type of the internal winning combination, the value of the effect timer, and the like.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes wait processing (S18). In this wait processing, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed since the start of the previous game (start of the last unit game), and if it is determined that the predetermined time has not passed, the predetermined time has passed. Wait until the waiting time is exhausted. The predetermined time in this wait processing, 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 the reels 3L, 3C, 3R according to the number of inserted medals (S19). Along with this reel rotation start processing, "0000111" is stored in the operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 29).

Further, the reel rotation start processing is executed by the interrupt processing shown in FIG. This interrupt process is a process executed at a constant cycle (1.1172 ms). By this interrupt processing, the driving of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is controlled, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started.

After that, the driving of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is controlled by this interrupt processing, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is accelerated until reaching a constant speed. Further, when the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R reaches a constant speed, the driving of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is controlled by this interrupt processing so that the reels 3L, 3C, 3R rotate at a constant speed. Maintained.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates reel rotation start command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated reel rotation start command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 ( S20).

By receiving the reel rotation start command data, the sub-control board 42 can recognize the start of reel rotation, and can determine the timing of executing various effects.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a pull-in priority storage process shown in FIG. 65 (S21). In this attraction-in priority storage processing, attraction-in priority table selection processing shown in FIG. 66 is executed, and attraction-in priority rankings of all the symbols of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R that are rotating are determined. That is, in the attraction-in priority storage processing, the stop information is stored in the attraction-in priority data storage area shown in FIG. 31 for each symbol position of each reel that is rotating based on the internal winning combination.

For example, for each symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R, when the corresponding symbol is stop permission, the attraction priority data is stored in the attraction priority data storage area based on the priority table, and the stop failure is not permitted. In the case of permission (for example, when a winning combination that has not been internally won is won), data indicating stop prohibition is stored in the attraction-in priority data storage area.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the reel stop control process shown in FIG. 68 (S22). By this processing, stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed. Next, the main CPU 93 executes a prize search process (S23).

In this prize search processing, after all reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped, the symbol combination displayed on the activated winning line and the symbol combination table are collated, and the symbol combination displayed on the winning line is determined. To be judged.

Specifically, the data stored in the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 26) and the data in the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 11 to 13) are collated, and the collation result is stored in the display combination storing area. It

More specifically, the data in the symbol code storage area is directly copied to the display combination storage area. At that time, the symbol combination table is referred to and the payout number is obtained. By this winning prize search processing, the combination of symbols displayed in the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R by specifying that all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R have stopped is specified.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the payout of the number of medals according to the displayed symbol combination, based on the result of the prize search processing (S25). Along with the medal payout process, the hopper device 43 is controlled and the credit number is updated based on the payout number counter.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates winning operation command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated winning operation command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S26). .. The winning operation command data represents, for example, the type of display combination, the number of paid out medals, and the like.

Although illustration is omitted, in the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 indicates that the payout of medals is completed in each unit game as command data to be included in the command signal transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42. It is now possible to set the payout end command data that represents, the game lock command data that represents information about the lock that temporarily stops the progress of the game after the medal has been paid out, and the number of game media used for the unit game. The game preparation command data indicating that is generated, and the generated various command data is stored in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95. The main CPU 93 may generate the payout end command data after ending the lock.

In each unit game, the main CPU 93 generates game preparation command data after the payout end command data when the lock is not executed, and when the lock is executed, it indicates that the lock is completed. The game preparation command data is generated after the command data.

The main CPU 93 may generate the game preparation command data if the number of medals to be used in the unit game can be set even after the payout end command data and the game lock command data are generated. Good.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 configures a counting unit that counts the number of unit games according to the number of times the unit game is executed. For example, the main CPU 93 has a function as a 4-bit counter that repeatedly counts 0 to 15 games when the power is turned on as the number of unit games.

The main CPU 93 is configured to generate at least one type of command data regarding the progress of the game so as to include the counted number of unit games. The command data relating to the progress of the game includes start command data, reel rotation start command data, three types of reel stop command data and winning operation command data described later.

In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 is described as generating the winning operation command data so as to include the counted number of unit games, but all commands related to the progress of the game so as to include the counted number of unit games. Data may be generated.

After executing step S26, the main CPU 93 executes bonus end check processing shown in FIG. 69 (S27). By this bonus end check process, a process of ending the operation of the BB or the RB when the ending condition of the BB or the RB is satisfied is executed.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a bonus operation check process shown in FIG. 70 (S28). By this bonus operation check process, a process of operating the BB or the RB based on the combination of the symbols displayed on the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is executed. After executing the processing of step S28, the main CPU 93 executes the processing of step S11.

<Power-on process>
FIG. 60 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 judgment processing, it is judged whether the backup is normal or not by the 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 power-on (S30). At, the setting values and checksum values stored in the main RAM 95 are read.

Here, the main CPU 93 compares the checksum calculated from the read set value and the backup checksum, and if the comparison results match, determines that the backup is normal.

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

After executing the process of step S31 or when determining that the backup is not normal in step S30 (NO), the main CPU 93 turns on the setting change switch provided in the cabinet 2a of the pachi-slot machine 1. It is determined whether or not (S32). Here, if it is determined that the setting change switch 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 storing area and the display winning combination storing area of the main RAM 95 are cleared and the set value is cleared.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated initialization command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S34). .. The initialization command data represents, for example, whether or not the setting value has been changed, the setting value, and the like.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes setting value change processing (S35). In the setting value changing process, for example, the setting value is selected from 1 to 6 according to the operation result of the reset switch, and the setting value selected when the start lever 16 is operated is fixed.

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

Here, when the determination result that the setting change switch is not in the ON state is obtained (NO), the main CPU 93 generates and generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42. The initialization command data is stored in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S37), and the power-on process is terminated.

When determining in step S32 that the setting change switch 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. Note that the main CPU 93 does not release the error state by operating the stop release switch or the reset switch when the backup is in an abnormal state (backup error), and a new setting change is made. Only if the error condition is cleared.

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. 61 is a flowchart showing the medal acceptance/start check processing executed in step S12 of the main control processing shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not there is an automatic insertion request (S50). When the player wins the replay role in the previous unit game, medals are automatically inserted in the unit game this time. That is, in the determination process of step S50, it may be determined whether or not the replay combination is won in the previous unit game.

In step S50, when the main CPU 93 determines that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), it executes an automatic insertion process (S51). In the automatic insertion process, the same number of medals as those inserted in the previous unit game are automatically inserted.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, 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 represents, for example, whether or not a medal has been inserted, the value of the inserted number counter, the value of the credit counter, and the like.

In step S50, when determining that there is no automatic insertion request (NO), the main CPU 93 permits medal acceptance (S53). For example, the main CPU 93 drives a solenoid of a selector (not shown) to form a path so that medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 13 may pass through the selector.

If it is determined in step S50 that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), the main CPU 93 is in a state in which reception of medals has been prohibited from the previous unit game, and therefore processing relating to reception of medals. Does not run.

After the processing of step S52 or S53 is executed, the main CPU 93 sets the maximum value of the number of inserted medals according to the game state (S54). In the present embodiment, the maximum number of inserted medals is 3.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not acceptance of medals is permitted (S55). If it is determined that the acceptance of medals is permitted (YES), the main CPU 93 executes a medal insertion check process for checking the number of inserted medals (S56). In this medal insertion check processing, the value of the insertion number counter is updated according to the number of checked medals.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, 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 (S57).

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is possible to insert medals or credit (S58). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 satisfies the condition that the number of inserted cards is three and the credit is 50, or that the automatic insertion process of step S51 is executed. Sometimes, it is determined that medals cannot be inserted or credited, and when the condition is not satisfied, medals can be inserted or credited.

If it is determined in step S58 that medals cannot be inserted or credited (NO), the main CPU 93 prohibits medal acceptance (S59). For example, the main CPU 93 forms a path through which medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 13 are discharged from the medal payout opening 21 without driving the solenoid of the selector.

If it is determined in step S55 that the acceptance of medals is not permitted (NO), if it is determined in step S58 that medals can be inserted or credited (YES), or after the process of step S59 is executed. The main CPU 93 determines whether the number of inserted medals is the number at which the game can be started (S60).

That is, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of inserted medals is the number at which the unit game can be started according to the game state. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of inserted medals is three.

Here, when it is determined that the number of inserted medals is not the number at which the game can be started (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S55. On the other hand, when determining that the number of inserted medals is the number at which the game can be started (YES), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the start switch 64 is on (S61).

Here, when it is determined that the start switch 64 is not on (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S55. On the other hand, when determining that the start switch 64 is on (YES), the main CPU 93 prohibits the reception of medals (S62), and ends the medal reception/start check processing.

<Internal lottery processing>
FIG. 62 is a flowchart showing the internal lottery processing executed in step S14 of the main control processing shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 sets an internal lottery table according to the game state in the main RAM 95 (S80). Specifically, the main CPU 93 sets the internal lottery table shown in any of FIGS. 17 to 19 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 (S81). Next, the main CPU 93 determines an internal winning combination based on the acquired random number value and the set internal lottery table, and stores it in the internal winning combination storing area (S82).

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the value of the carryover combination storing area (see FIG. 27) is “0” (S83). In this determination process, it is determined whether or not bit 7 corresponding to "BB" in the carryover storage area is set to "1".

When it is determined in step S83 that the value of the carryover combination storing area is not "0" (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the internal lottery process. On the other hand, when determining that the value of the carryover combination storing area is “0” (YES), the main CPU 93 causes the internal winning combination defined in the internal winning combination storing area to be defined as the internal winning combination. The winning combination (for example, BB) is stored in the internal winning combination storing area (see FIG. 27) (S84). In the process of step S83, for example, when "BB" is acquired as the internal winning combination, the bit 7 corresponding to "BB" in the internal carryover combination storing area is set to "1".

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the value of the carryover combination storing area (see FIG. 27) is “0” (S85). In this determination process, it is determined whether or not bit 7 corresponding to "BB" in the carryover storage area is set to "1".

When determining in step S85 that the value of the carryover combination storing area is “0” (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the internal lottery process. On the other hand, when determining that the value of the carryover combination storing area is not "0" (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the game state flag shifting process shown in FIG. 63 (S76), and ends the internal lottery process.

<Game state flag transition processing>
FIG. 63 is a flowchart showing the game state flag shifting process executed in step S86 of the internal lottery process shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not BB is stored in the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 27) (S90). In this process, it is determined whether or not bit 7 corresponding to "BB" in the carry-over storage area is set to "1".

When it is determined in step S90 that BB is stored in the carryover combination storing area (YES), the main CPU 93 sets the RT1 gaming state as the RT gaming state (S91). In this process, the main CPU 93 sets bit 4 corresponding to "RT1 gaming state" in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 28) to "1". After executing the processing of step S91, the main CPU 93 ends the game state flag transition processing.

On the other hand, in step S90, when it is determined that BB is not stored in the carryover combination storing area (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the game state flag shifting process.

<Reel stop initial setting processing>
FIG. 64 is a flowchart showing the reel stop initialization process executed in step S16 of the main control process shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 refers to the turning cylinder stop initial setting table, and acquires the turning cylinder stop number based on the internal winning combination or the like (S100). The turning cylinder stop initialization table is a table in which various information used for stop control is defined in association with the turning cylinder stop number corresponding to the number of inserted coins and the internal winning combination.

Next, the main CPU 93 refers to the turning cylinder stop initial setting table, and acquires each information based on the turning cylinder stop number (S101). In this process, the main CPU 93 uses, for example, the numbers of the stop tables used during the first to third stops and the information necessary for performing the control change in the control change process (that is, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are in a specific order). When stopped (or pressed) at a specific position, the information used to reselect the stop table) is acquired.

The stop table directly or indirectly stores information on the number of sliding pieces with respect to the pressed position, and by using this information, there is a limit that does not cause a disadvantage to the player and does not cause an erroneous winning. In, it is configured to stop at the stop position intended by the developer.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 stores the rotating identifier in the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 26) (S102). That is, the main CPU 93 sets the bits of all symbol code storage areas (excluding unused areas) to "1".

Next, the main CPU 93 stores 3 in the stop button non-operation counter (S103), and ends the reel stop initialization process. The stop button non-operation counter is used to determine the number of stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R that are not stopped by the player, and is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 95.

<Storing priority storage process>
FIG. 65 is a flowchart showing the pull-in priority storage processing executed in step S21 of the main control processing shown in FIG. 59 and step S165 of the reel stop control processing shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 stores the value of the stop button non-operation counter in the main RAM 95 as the number of searches (S110). Next, the main CPU 93 executes a search target reel determination process that determines the search target reel (S111). In this process, for example, one reel on the left side of the rotating reels is determined as the reel to be searched.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the attraction-in priority table selection process shown in FIG. 66 (S112). In this attraction-in priority table selection process, one attraction-in priority table number is selected from the attraction-in priority table (see FIG. 21).

Next, the main CPU 93 sets 20 (the number of symbols on each reel) to the number of symbol checks stored in the main RAM 95, and sets 0 to the retrieval symbol position (S113).

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the symbol code storage process shown in FIG. 67 (S114). In this symbol code storing process, the symbol code of the symbol position data for checking for checking the symbol position of the spinning reel is acquired.

Next, the main CPU 93 updates the display combination storing area (see FIG. 25) based on the acquired symbol code and the symbol code storing area (see FIG. 26) (S115). Next, the main CPU 93 executes a pull-in priority data acquisition process (S116).

In this attraction-in priority data acquisition processing, in the step S112, the corresponding bit in the display combination storing area is 1 and the corresponding bit in the internal winning combination storing area (see FIG. 24) is 1. The attraction priority data is acquired by referring to the selected attraction priority table.

In the attraction priority data acquisition process, for the symbol position that causes a false prize when stopped, "Stop prohibited" (000H) is set, and internal winning is not made, but even if stopped, it does not result in a false prize. For the symbol position, "stoppable" (001H) is set.

Next, the main CPU 93 stores the acquired attraction priority data in the attraction priority data storage area corresponding to the reel to be searched (S117). Next, the main CPU 93 subtracts 1 from the number of symbol checks and adds 1 to the search symbol position (S118).

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of symbol checks is 0 (S119). If it is determined that the number of symbol checks is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S114.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of symbol checks is 0 (YES), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the search for the number of searches has been executed (S120). If it is determined that the search has been performed the number of times (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the pull-in priority storage process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the search for the number of searches has not been executed (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S111.

<Incoming priority table selection process>
FIG. 66 is a flowchart showing the attraction priority table selection processing executed in step S112 of the attraction priority storage processing shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the attraction-in priority table selection data is set (S130). Here, when it is determined that the pull-in priority table selection data is set (YES), the main CPU 93 refers to the pressing order storage area (see FIG. 30) and the operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 29). Then, the attraction priority table number corresponding to the attraction priority table selection data is set from the attraction priority table selection table (not shown) (S131), and the attraction priority table corresponding to the attraction priority table number is set ( S132), and the attraction-in priority table selection process ends.

On the other hand, when determining that the attraction-in priority table selection data is not set (NO), the main CPU 93 sets the attraction-in priority table according to the attraction-in priority table number (S132), and the attraction-in priority table. The selection process ends.

<Symbol code storage processing>
67 is a flow chart showing the symbol code storage processing executed in step S114 of the pull-in priority storage processing shown in FIG. 65 and step S159 of the reel stop control processing shown in FIG. 68.

First, the main CPU 93 sets valid line data (S140). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 sets the center line as the effective line. Next, the main CPU 93 sets the checking symbol position data of the reel to be searched based on the searching symbol position and the effective line data (S141). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 sets the middle symbol position of the left reel 3L as the checking symbol position data.

Next, the main CPU 93 acquires the symbol code of the checking symbol position data (S142), and ends the symbol code storage process.

<Reel stop control processing>
FIG. 68 is a flowchart showing the reel stop control process executed in step S22 of the main control process shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not a valid stop button has been pressed (S150). This process is a process of determining whether or not a signal is output from the stop switch 7S. When determining that the valid stop button has not been pressed (NO), the main CPU 93 repeats the process of step S150.

On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines that the valid stop button is pressed (YES), the main CPU 93 stores the pressing order storage area (see FIG. 30) and the operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 30) according to the pressed stop button. 29) and are updated (S151).

Here, the main CPU 93 stores the type of the operation stop button corresponding to each of the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation in the press order storage area (see FIG. 30), and presses the press order storage area. The pressing order of the stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R can be determined by referring to.

Then, the main CPU 93 subtracts 1 from the stop button non-operation counter (S152), determines the search target reel from the operation stop button (S153), and stores the stop start position in the main RAM 95 based on the symbol counter (( S154). The stop start position is a symbol position corresponding to the symbol counter of the corresponding reel when the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 7S.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a sliding piece number determination process (S155). In this sliding frame number determination processing, the number of sliding frames defined at the stop start position is determined based on the stop table selection data group selected from the spinning cylinder stop initialization table (see FIG. 20) based on the internal winning combination. It is a process to do.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates reel stop command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated reel stop command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. A transmission process is executed (S156).

The reel stop command data represents the type (identification information) of the reel to be stopped, the stop start position, the number of sliding pieces (or the planned stop position), and the like. Further, the reel stop command data in the present embodiment further represents the stop order in the unit game of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines the scheduled stop position based on the stop start position and the sliding piece number determination data, and stores it in the main RAM 95 (S157). The planned stop position is a symbol position in which one of the predetermined numerical values “0” to “4” defined as the number of sliding pieces is added to the stop start position, and the symbol position where the rotation of the reel stops Is.

Next, the main CPU 93 sets the scheduled stop position as the search symbol position (S158). Next, the main CPU 93 executes the symbol code storing process shown in FIG. 67 (S159).

Next, the main CPU 93 updates the symbol code storage area from the symbol code acquired in the symbol code storage process (S160). Next, the main CPU 93 executes control change processing (S161). In this control change process, the reel stop information group is updated when it is at a specific stop position.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the stop button non-operation counter is 0 (S164). Here, when it is determined that the stop button non-operation counter is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the pull-in priority storage process shown in FIG. 65 (S165) and the process of step S150. On the other hand, when determining that the stop button non-operation counter is 0 (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the reel stop control process.

<Bonus end check process>
FIG. 69 is a flowchart showing the bonus end check processing executed in step S27 of the main control processing shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether the main gaming state is the BB operating state, that is, whether the BB operating state flag stored in the gaming state flag storage area shown in FIG. 28 is on (S280).

Here, when it is determined that the main game state is not the BB operation state (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus end check process. On the other hand, when determining that the main gaming state is the BB operating state (YES), the main CPU 93 updates the bonus end number counter (S281). Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the value of the bonus end number counter is smaller than "0" (S282).

Here, when the value of the bonus end number counter is smaller than "0" (YES), the main CPU 93 executes a BB end process of turning off the BB operation state flag (S283).

Next, the main CPU 93 sets the RT0 gaming state as the RT gaming state (S284). In this process, the main CPU 93 sets bit 5 corresponding to "RT0 gaming state" in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 28) to "1".

After that, the main CPU 93 generates bonus end command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated bonus end command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95. The processing is executed (S285), and the bonus end check processing is ended.

On the other hand, in step S282, when the value of the bonus end number counter is not smaller than "0", that is, when the value of the bonus end number counter is equal to or greater than "0" (NO), the main CPU 93 causes the winning number counter and The value of the available game number counter is decremented by "1" (step S286).

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the values of the winning number counter and the available game number counter are “0” (step S287). When the values of the winning number counter and the possible game number counter are not “0”, the main CPU 93 ends the bonus end check process.

On the other hand, when the value of the winning number counter and the possible game number counter is “0”, the main CPU 93 executes the RB ending process for turning off the RB operation state flag (step S289), and the bonus end checking process. To finish.

<Bonus activation check process>
FIG. 70 is a flowchart showing the bonus operation check process executed in step S28 of the main control process shown in FIG.

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the main gaming state is the BB gaming state (S290). Here, when it is determined that the main gaming state is the BB gaming state (YES), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the RB is operating (step S291).

When determining that the RB is in operation (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus operation check process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the RB is not operating (NO), the RB operating process for operating the RB is executed (step S292), and the bonus operation checking process is ended. In the RB operation process, the main CPU 93 turns on the RB game state flag, sets "1" in the winning number counter, and sets "1" in the available game number counter, for example.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S290 that the main gaming state is not the BB gaming state (NO), the main CPU 93 activates the combination of "lower half circle-upper half circle-blue 7A" corresponding to "BB". It is determined whether or not it is displayed along the line (step S293).

When the main CPU 93 determines that the combination of “lower half circle-upper half circle-blue 7A” corresponding to “BB” is displayed along the activated line (YES), the main CPU 93 performs the BB operation process for operating the BB. Execute (step S292). In the BB operation process, the main CPU 93 turns on the BB game state flag and sets a predetermined number (for example, 86) in the bonus end number counter. At this time, the main CPU 93 also performs the RB operation processing described above.

Next, the main CPU 93 clears the value in the carryover combination storing area (S295). After that, the main CPU 93 generates bonus start command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated bonus start command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95. The processing is executed (S296), and the bonus operation check processing is ended.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S293 that the combination of "lower half circle-upper half circle-blue 7A" corresponding to "BB" is not displayed along the activated line (NO), any replay is performed. It is determined whether or not is displayed (step S297).

When determining that any replay has not been displayed (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus operation check process. On the other hand, when determining that any of the replays has been displayed (YES), the main CPU 93 issues an automatic insertion request so that the automatic insertion process is executed in S51 of the medal acceptance/start check process shown in FIG. (S298), the bonus operation check process ends.

<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 executed every 1.1172 milliseconds.

First, the main CPU 93 saves the register (S320). Next, the main CPU 93 executes the input port check processing shown in FIG. 72 (S321). In this process, the main CPU 93 confirms the presence/absence of a signal transmitted to the sub control board 42.

For example, the main CPU 93 stores, in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 95, input state command data representing on-edge and off-edge information of various switches including the on-edge and off-edge of the start switch 64 and the stop switch 7S.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes a timer update process (S322). Then, the main CPU 93 executes effect timer update processing (S323). Next, the main CPU 93 executes reel control processing for controlling the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R (S324).

More specifically, the main CPU 93 starts the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R in response to a request to start the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, that is, the reels at a constant speed. Control is performed so that 3L, 3C, and 3R rotate. In addition, the main CPU 93 controls the reels 3L, 3C, 3R corresponding to the stop operation to stop rotating in response to the stop operation.

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>
FIG. 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.

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 making it possible to compare 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. Then, it is checked whether or not the state of the input port has changed, for example, whether or not the MAX bet button 14 or the 1 bet button 15 has been pressed.

Next, the main CPU 93 stores the on-edge state in the main RAM 95 (S333). In the present embodiment, on-edge refers to a state where the button is still pressed, and off-edge refers to a state where the button is released.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates input state command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated input state command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. The transmission process is executed (S334), and the input port check process ends.

[Sub-control processing]
The sub CPU 102 of the sub control board 42 executes various processes according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 73 to 110.

<Power-on process>
FIG. 73 is a flowchart showing a power-on process of the sub CPU 102 when the power is turned on.

First, the sub CPU 102 executes an initialization process (S350). In this process, the sub CPU 102 checks the sub RAM 103 and the like for errors and initializes the task system. The task system includes a lamp control task, a sound control task, which is a task group for timer interrupt synchronization, and a mother task, which is a task group for VSYNC (Vertical Synchronization) interrupt synchronization.

Next, the sub CPU 102 activates the lamp control task shown in FIG. 74 (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. 75 (S352). In the sound control task, the sound output state from the speakers 23L and 23R is controlled by the sub CPU 102.

Next, the sub CPU 102 activates the mother task (S353) and ends the power-on process. The mother task is a task group of VSYNC (vertical synchronization signal) interrupt synchronization, and is a vertical synchronization signal (VSYNC interrupt signal) sent from the liquid crystal display device 11 when one frame of image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11. To use.

<Lamp control task>
FIG. 74 is a flowchart showing the lamp control task started in step S351 of the power-on process shown in FIG. 73.

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, the sub CPU 102 executes a task group different from the timer interrupt synchronization until the sub CPU 102 receives the timer interrupt event message every 2 milliseconds.

An example of a task group different from the 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 communication synchronization of the door monitoring unit, and the like can be given.

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes the sound control task shown in FIG. 75 (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. 75 are executed.

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes a lamp data analysis process (S364), a lamp effect execution process (S365), and the process of step S362.

In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102 is in a state where it is possible to set the number of medals to be used in the unit game on condition that the MAX bet button 14 is not used in the lamp effect execution process. The MAX bet button is caused to emit light in the first light emission color as the first light emission mode, and to be in the non-issuance state as the second light emission mode when the number of medals used in the unit game is set to the maximum. 14 light emitters 14a are controlled.

In addition, the sub CPU 102, in the lamp effect execution process, is triggered by the state in which it is possible to set the number of medals to be used in the unit game, on condition that the effect by the MAX bet button 14 is performed. The light-emitting body 14a of the MAX bet button 14 is controlled so that the second light-emission color is emitted as the light-emission mode, and the non-issuance state is set as the fourth light-emission mode when the MAX bet button 14 is operated. Until the number of medals used in the game is set to the maximum, the light emitter 14a is prohibited from emitting the first emission color.

Here, the sub CPU 102 detects that it is possible to set the number of medals to be used for the unit game, on condition that the game preparation command transmitted from the main control board 41 is received.

Further, the sub CPU 102 detects that the MAX bet button 14 has been operated on condition that the input state command data transmitted from the main control board 41 represents the ON edge of the MAX bet button 14.

In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes bet button control means for controlling the state of the MAX bet button 14 in accordance with the command signal, and at least from the start of the unit game until the game preparation command data is received. The light emitting mode of the light emitter 14a of the MAX bet button 14 is maintained. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102 maintains the light emitter 14a of the MAX bet button 14 in the non-light emitting state at least until the game preparation command data is received after the unit game is started.

Even if the light-emitting body 14a of the MAX bet button 14 is kept in a non-light emitting state, the sub CPU 102 produces the insertion sound according to the insertion of each medal and the normal effect at the time of inserting a medal by various lamps other than the MAX bet button 14. Tolerate.

Note that the sub CPU 102 may change at least one of an insertion sound and an effect at the time of inserting a medal by various lamps other than the MAX bet button 14 on condition that the effect is performed by the MAX bet button 14.

<Sound control task>
FIG. 75 is a flowchart showing the sound control task started in step S352 of the power-on processing shown in FIG. 73.

First, the sub CPU 102 executes an initialization process of sound-related data related to the sound output state from the speakers 23L and 23R (S370). Next, the sub CPU 102 executes a 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 a sound data analysis process (S372), a sound effect execution process (S373), and executes the process of step S371.

<Mother task>
FIG. 76 is a flow chart showing the mother task activated in step S353 of the power-on processing shown in FIG.

In the mother task, the sub CPU 102 activates the main task (S380), activates the main board communication task (S381), and activates the animation task (S382).

<Main task>
77 is a flow chart showing the main task started in step S380 of the mother task shown in FIG.

In the main task, the sub CPU 102 executes VSYNC interrupt initialization processing (S390) and waits for VSYNC interrupt (S391). Next, the sub CPU 102 executes the drawing process (S392) and executes the process of step S391.

<Main board communication task>
FIG. 78 is a flowchart showing the main board communication task started in step S381 of the mother task shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 initializes the communication message queue (S400), and checks the received command (S401).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not a valid command has been received (S402). If it is determined that the valid command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes the process of step S401.

On the other hand, when determining that the valid command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 creates game information from the received command and stores the created game information in the sub RAM 103 (S403). Next, the sub CPU 102 executes the command analysis process shown in FIG. 79 (S404) and executes the process of step S401.

<Command analysis processing>
79 is a flowchart showing the command analysis process executed in step S404 of the main board communication task shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 executes a command consistency determination process for determining the consistency of the received command (S410). In the command consistency determination process, the sub CPU 102 detects an illegal progress of the game.

Specifically, the sub CPU 102 uses a start command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, and a winning operation command (hereinafter, also collectively referred to as “game progress command”) as a start command, a reel rotation start command, and a first reel start command. The reel stop command indicating that the stop reel stops, the reel stop command indicating that the second stop reel stops, the reel stop command indicating that the third stop reel stops, and the winning operation command are received in this order. It is determined whether or not there is.

For example, when the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the reel rotation start command after the start command, it determines that the progress of the game is illegal.

Further, if the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the reel stop command indicating that the first stop reel is to be stopped next to the reel rotation start command, it determines that the progress of the game is illegal.

Further, when the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the reel stop command indicating that the second stop reel will stop next to the reel stop command indicating that the first stop reel will stop, the sub CPU 102 advances the game. Is determined to be incorrect.

Further, when the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the reel stop command indicating that the third stop reel will stop next to the reel stop command indicating that the second stop reel will stop, the sub CPU 102 advances the game. Is determined to be incorrect.

If the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the winning operation command after the reel stop command indicating that the third stop reel is stopped, the sub CPU 102 determines that the progress of the game is illegal. When the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the start command after the winning operation command, the sub CPU 102 determines that the progress of the game is illegal.

In addition, when the sub CPU 102 receives the prize operation command, the unit game number included in the prize operation command data is the unit game included in the prize operation command data when the last prize operation command is received. If the number is not substantially increased by one, it is determined that the progress of the game is illegal.

Here, “substantially” means, for example, when the number of unit games included in the winning operation command data is counted by a 4-bit counter that repeatedly counts 0 to 15 games on the main CPU 93 side. When the number of unit games included in the prize operation command data is "0" and the number of unit games included in the previously received prize operation command is "15", it means that the number is increased by one. Means In this case, the sub CPU 102 does not determine that the progress of the game is illegal.

When the main CPU 93 is configured to generate all command data regarding the progress of the game so as to include the counted number of unit games, the sub CPU 102 processes the start command reception time and the reel rotation start command reception. Also in the time process and the reel stop command reception process, it is determined whether or not the progress of the game is illegal, as in the winning operation command reception process.

Further, when the main CPU 93 is configured to generate reel stop command data so as to include the counted number of unit games, the sub CPU 102, in units of the first stop reel to the third stop reel, or reels. It is determined for each type of 3L, 3C, 3R whether or not the progress of the game is illegal.

In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes an illegal game progress detecting means for detecting an illegal progress of a game from the received command data. When the sub CPU 102 detects an illegal progress of the game, the sub CPU 102 stops the process related to the progress of the game and notifies the liquid crystal display device 11 of an image indicating that the game has been illegally progressed.

Further, when the sub CPU 102 detects an illegal progress of the game, the player is disadvantageous in that the GG lottery is not performed during this unit game or until a predetermined number of games have elapsed since this unit game. It may be possible to impose a penalty of

For example, in the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is CZ, even if the condition for performing HOLD is satisfied, if the illegal progress of the game is detected, a penalty of not performing HOLD is given. I'm supposed to impose it.

After executing the process of S410, the sub CPU 102 executes the effect content determination process shown in FIG. 81 (S411), the lamp data determination process (S412), and the sound data determination process (S413). The respective data thus obtained are registered (S414), and the command analysis processing ends.

<Anime task>
FIG. 80 is a flowchart showing the animation task started in step S382 of the mother task shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 checks a change from the previous game information (S420). Specifically, the sub CPU 102 determines that the current game information updated by the interrupt processing under the control of the main CPU 93 shown in FIG. 71 is the game information registered in the sub RAM 103 in the interrupt processing up to the previous time. Check if the game information is different.

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes an object control process (S421). Specifically, when the check result that the game information is changed is obtained in step S420, the sub CPU 102 controls the image according to the change of the game information.

Subsequently, the sub CPU 102 executes an animation task management process (S422). Specifically, the sub CPU 102 manages the order of images displayed in various effects. After executing the animation task management process, the sub CPU 102 executes the process of step S420.

<Production content determination processing>
FIG. 81 is a flowchart showing the effect contents determination process executed in step S411 of the command analysis process shown in FIG. 79.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not an initialization command has been received (S430). If it is determined that the initialization command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes initialization command reception processing (S431), and ends the effect content determination processing. In the initialization command reception process, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the initialization command including the presence or absence of the change of the set value and the information of the set value is set in the sub RAM 103.

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 (S432). Here, if it is determined that the medal insertion command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a medal insertion command reception process (S433), and ends the effect content determination process.

In the medal insertion command receiving process, for example, effect data based on information transmitted as a medal insertion command including the presence/absence of a medal insertion and the values of the inserted number counter and the credit counter are set.

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 (S434). Here, if it is determined that the start command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the start command reception process shown in FIG. 82 (S435), and ends the effect content determination process.

In the start command reception process, for example, a game state flag type, a bonus end number counter value, an internal winning combination type, a lock type flag value, and a performance timer value are transmitted as a start command. The performance data based on the information 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 (S436). 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 (S437), and ends the effect content determination process. In the process at the time of receiving the reel rotation start command, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the reel rotation start command indicating that the rotation of the reel is started is set.

On the other hand, when determining 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 (S438). Here, if it is determined that the reel stop command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the reel stop command reception time process shown in FIG. 88 (S439), and ends the effect content determination process.

In the reel stop command reception process, effect data based on information transmitted as a reel stop command including, for example, a stop reel type, a stop start position, and the number of sliding pieces (or a planned stop position) is set.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the reel stop command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the winning operation command has been received (S440). Here, when it is determined that the winning operation command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a winning operation command reception process (S441), and ends the effect content determination process.

In the process at the time of receiving the winning operation command, for example, the effect data based on the information transmitted as the winning operation command including the type of the display combination, the flag related to the lock, the number of paid-out medals, etc. is set.

On the other hand, if it is determined 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 (S442). 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 (S443), and ends the effect content determination process. In the bonus start command reception process, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the bonus start command indicating that the bonus has been 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 (S444). Here, if it is determined that the bonus end command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a bonus end command reception process (S445), and ends the effect content determination process. In the bonus end command reception process, for example, effect data based on information transmitted as a bonus end command indicating that the bonus has ended is set.

In the pachi-slot machine 1 in the present embodiment, even if the medals that can be acquired in the BB gaming state are taken into consideration, in the RT0 gaming state, since GG lottery is not performed, the RT0 gaming state is played rather than the RT1 gaming state It is in a disadvantageous state for the player.

It should be noted that, as the "disadvantageous state", the state in which the GG lottery is not performed at all may be performed, and the sub game state shifts to GG except when a winning combination such as "GOD" directly wins the prize. The state may be set to not be performed, or the GG winning probability may be set to be relatively low.

As described above, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is relatively advantageous for the player to play the game while internally winning the winning combination of the BB without shifting to the BB game state.

For this reason, the sub CPU 102 functions as an informing unit, and displays that the BB is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state of the BB from the end of the BB until the working combination of the BB is determined as the internal winning combination. By notifying by displaying on the device 11 or the like, even if the winning combination of the BB is internally won, attention is drawn so that the winning combination of the BB is not won.

That is, in the bonus end command reception process, the sub CPU 102 notifies the LCD device 11 by displaying an image showing that the BB is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state.

For example, the sub CPU 102 may cause the liquid crystal display device 11 to display a character string of an abstract expression such as “in preparation” as an image indicating that the BB is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state. Since the bonus has been won, the character string of a concrete expression such as “I am preparing for the lottery of GG” may be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11.

However, since the pachi-slot machine 1 is in the state where the main RAM 95 is completely cleared or the setting is changed (hereinafter, referred to as “initial state”) like the time of factory shipment, the working combination of the BB is internally won. Until the winning combination is determined, the sub CPU 102 determines the operating winning combination of the BB as an internal winning combination by the player's game without notifying that it is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state of the BB.

As a result, it is possible to save the labor for the player to decide the winning combination of the BB as the internal winning combination before the player plays the game, and it is difficult for the player to know that the pachi-slot machine 1 is in the initial state. can do.

If it is determined in S444 that the bonus end command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not an input state command has been received (S446). Here, when it is determined that the input state command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the input state command reception process (S447), and ends the effect content determination process.

In the input state command reception process, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the input state command indicating whether each operation unit is in the on-edge state or the off-edge state is set. On the other hand, when determining in S446 that the input state command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the effect contents determination process.

<Processing when a start command is received>
FIG. 82 is a flowchart showing the start command reception time process executed in step S435 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG. 81.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the game state controlled by the main CPU 93 is the BB carry-over state (S450). Here, if it is determined that the gaming state controlled by the main CPU 93 is not the BB carry-over state (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the start command reception process.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the game state controlled by the main CPU 93 is the BB carry-over state (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the lottery preprocessing shown in FIG. 83 (S451).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub game state is one of CZ1 to CZ4 (S452). Here, when it is determined that the sub game state is any of CZ1 to CZ4 (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the CZ in-process shown in FIGS. 86 and 87 (S453).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the sub gaming state is neither CZ1 to CZ4 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub gaming state is EG (S454). Here, when it is determined that the sub game state is EG (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the EG process shown in FIGS. 93 to 95 (S455).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is not EG (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub gaming state is SEG (S456). Here, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is SEG (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the SEG processing shown in FIGS. 96 and 97 (S457).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the sub gaming state is not SEG (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub gaming state is PEG (S458). Here, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is PEG (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the PEG-in-process shown in FIGS. 98 and 99 (S459).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is not PEG (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub gaming state is GG (S460). Here, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is GG (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the GG processing shown in FIG. 100 (S461). On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is not GG (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes the common processing shown in FIGS. 101 and 102 (S462).

After executing the processing of step S453, S455, S457, S459, S461 or S462b, the sub CPU 102 executes the common lottery processing shown in FIG. 107 (S463) and executes the lottery post processing shown in FIG. 108 (S464). , When the start command is received, the process ends.

Although illustration is omitted, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a game state matching means for matching the sub game state, and it is determined in the start command reception process to shift to the AT state such as GG and the AT state. If CZ3 or CZ4 is stored in the CZ information stock on condition that it is not in any of the gaming states, it is deleted.

Furthermore, the sub CPU 102 does not perform the lottery of GG during the unit game, or until a predetermined number of games elapses from the unit game, when CZ3 or CZ4 is deleted from the CZ information stock. The player may be penalized with a penalty. Further, the sub CPU 102 may match the stock of GG similarly to the stock of CZ.

<Pre-lottery processing>
FIG. 83 is a flowchart showing lottery pre-processing executed in step S451 of the start command reception processing shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 sets the next game state representing the sub game state defined in the previous game as the sub game state (S470). Next, the sub CPU 102 clears the CZ hold GG winning flag (S472).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub game state is EG (S473). Here, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is not EG (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the EG relief flag (S474).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is EG (YES), or after executing the processing of step S474, the sub CPU 102 sets the main flag corresponding number corresponding to the internal winning combination to the sub flag corresponding to the sub gaming state. A sub-flag conversion process of converting the sub-flag conversion number into a lottery sub-flag lottery number is performed in addition to conversion into a conversion number (S475).

In the flag conversion process, the sub CPU 102 refers to the sub flag conversion table shown in FIG. 32 to identify the sub flag conversion number associated with the main flag corresponding number, and the sub flag state-specific conversion table shown in FIGS. 33 to 39. With reference to, the sub-flag conversion number is converted by lottery with a probability according to the sub game state.

Further, in the flag conversion process, the sub CPU 102 refers to the sub-flag lottery conversion table shown in FIG. 40 and identifies the sub-flag lottery number associated with the sub-flag conversion number.

After executing the processing of S475, the sub CPU 102 executes the CZ counter processing shown in FIGS. 84 and 85 (S476). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of GG main predictive games, which represents the number of unit games from winning the GG to activating the GG, is 0 or more (S477).

Here, if it is determined that the number of GG main precursor games is 0 or more, the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the number of GG main precursor games (S478). When it is determined in step S477 that the number of GG main agenda games is not 0 or more, or after the processing of step S478 is executed, the sub CPU 102 ends the lottery preprocessing.

<CZ counter processing>
84 and 85 are flowcharts showing the CZ counter processing executed in step S476 of the lottery preprocessing shown in FIG. 83.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub game state is the first game of CZ1 to CZ4, GG, EG, SEG or PEG (S480). Here, when it is determined that the sub game state is the first game of CZ1 to CZ4, GG, EG, SEG, or PEG (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the normal medium CZ main sign counter (for example, The value is set to “−1” (S481), and the number of CZ main precursor games in GG is initialized (for example, “−1” is set) (S482).

When it is determined in step S480 that the sub game state is not the first game of CZ1 to CZ4, GG, EG, SEG, or PEG (NO), or after the process of step S482 is executed, the sub CPU 102 determines that the normal CZ It is determined whether or not the value of the present precursor counter is 0 (S483).

Here, if it is determined that the value of the normal medium CZ book precursor counter is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the value of the normal medium CZ book precursor counter is 1 or more (S484). .. When it is determined that the value of the normal CZ main sign counter is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 has a sub flag conversion number of 0 or 1 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is lost or "bell spill"). It is determined whether or not (S485).

If it is determined in step S483 that the value of the normal CZ main warning counter is 0 (YES), or if it is determined in step S485 that the subflag conversion number is 0 or 1 (YES), the sub The CPU 102 decrements the normal CZ book precursor counter by one (S486).

When it is determined in step S484 that the value of the normal CZ main sign counter is not 1 or more (NO), when it is determined in step S485 that the subflag conversion number is neither 0 nor 1 (NO), or step After executing the process of S486, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of CZ present precursor games in GG is 0 or more (S487).

Here, when it is determined that the number of CZ main sign games in GG is 0 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub flag conversion number is 25 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is “GOD”). Is determined (S488). Here, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not 25 (NO), the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the number of normal CZ main predictive games (S489).

In step S487, when it is determined that the number of CZ in GG main game is not 0 or more (NO), when it is determined that the subflag conversion number is 25 in step S488 (YES), or the processing of step S489 is executed. After that, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub game state is normal (S490).

Here, when it is determined that the sub gaming state is normal (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is CZ1 or CZ2 in the CZ information stock (S491). When it is determined that the CZ information stock has CZ1 or CZ2 (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of GG main precursor games is 0 or more (S492).

If it is determined in step S492 that the number of GG main precursor games is not 0 or more (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the precursor of CZ1 or CZ2 is in progress (S493).

Here, when it is determined that the sign of CZ1 or CZ2 is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 102 carries out the normal CZ predictor counter lottery for randomly determining the value of the normal CZ main predictor counter (S494).

In the normal medium CZ predictor counter lottery, for example, the sub CPU 102 randomly determines one value from the range of 1 to 16. Next, the sub CPU 102 sets the result of the normal CZ predictor counter lottery in the normal CZ predictor counter (S495).

In step S490, when it is determined that the sub game state is not normal (NO), in step S491, when it is determined that there is neither CZ1 nor CZ2 in the CZ information stock (NO), in step S492, the number of GG main precursor games If it is determined to be 0 or more (YES), in step S493, if it is determined to be a sign of CZ1 or CZ2 (YES), or after executing the processing of step S495, the sub CPU 102, the sub game It is determined whether the state is GG (S496).

Here, when it is determined that the sub game state is not GG (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ counter process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is GG (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is CZ3 or CZ4 in the CZ information stock (S497).

When it is determined that the CZ information stock does not include CZ3 or CZ4 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub flag conversion number is 25 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is "GOD") (S498). .. Here, when it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not 25 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sign of CZ3 or CZ4 is in progress (S499).

When it is determined that the sign of CZ3 or CZ4 is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 102 performs the GG in CZ predictive game number lottery in which the number of CZ main predictive games in GG is randomly determined (S500). In the GG CZ omen game number lottery, for example, the sub CPU 102 randomly determines one value from the range of 1 to 32. Next, the sub CPU 102 sets the result of lottery for the number of CZ predictive games in GG lottery as the number of CZ predictive games in GG (S501).

If it is determined in step S496 that the sub gaming state is not GG (NO), in step S497 it is determined that there is neither CZ3 nor CZ4 in the CZ information stock (NO), the sub flag conversion number is 25 in step S498. If YES (YES), in step S499, if it is determined that CZ3 or CZ4 is being signaled (YES), or after executing the process of step S501, the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ counter process. To do.

<Treatment during CZ>
86 and 87 are flowcharts showing the during-CZ process executed in step S453 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 executes the common processing shown in FIGS. 101 and 102 (S510). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of CZ lottery games is an initial value (for example, "-1") (S511).

When determining that the number of CZ lottery games is the initial value (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets 5 to the number of CZ lottery games (S512). Next, the sub CPU 102 clears (invalidates) the CZ hold flag (S513).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub game state is CZ3 or CZ4 (S514). Here, when it is determined that the sub gaming state is CZ3 or CZ4 (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of remaining games in GG (hereinafter, simply referred to as the "number of remaining GG games") is 0 or more. It is determined (S515).

If it is determined that the number of remaining GG games is 0 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the number of remaining GG games (S516). On the other hand, when determining that the number of remaining GG games is not 0 or more (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets 1 to the number of remaining GG games (S517).

When it is determined in step S511 that the number of CZ lottery games is not the initial value (NO), when it is determined in step S514 that the sub game state is neither CZ3 nor CZ4 (NO), or in step S516 or S517. After the processing is completed, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the CZ hold flag is valid (S518).

Here, when determining that the CZ hold flag is not valid (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of CZ lottery games is 0 (S519). Here, if it is determined that the number of CZ lottery games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ-in-progress processing. On the other hand, when determining that the number of CZ lottery games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the number of CZ lottery games (S520).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub flag conversion number is 25 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is “GOD”) (S521). Here, if it is determined that the sub-flag conversion number is not 25 (NO), the sub CPU 102 has one of the sub-flag conversion numbers 22 to 24 (that is, the sub-flag conversion combination name is “right red 7”, “red 7N”). Alternatively, it is determined whether or not it is “red 7SP”, hereinafter collectively referred to as “red 7”) (S522).

Here, when it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is neither 22 to 24 (NO), the sub CPU 102 refers to the CZ number group lottery table shown in FIG. 41, and refers to the sub gaming state (CZ1 to CZ4). Either) and the sub-flag lottery number is used to perform a CZ number group lottery for randomly determining a number group (S523), and the number group resulting from the CZ number group lottery is stored in the sub RAM 103 (S524). , CZ processing ends.

That is, the sub CPU 102 sets the additional GG number to the value of the GG counter when the value of the GG counter is the initial value, and adds it to the value of the GG counter when the value of the GG counter is not the initial value. Add numbers.

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub game state is GG, EG, SEG or PEG (S903). Here, when it is determined that the sub game state is any of GG, EG, SEG, or PEG (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the common lottery process.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is neither GG, EG, SEG, nor PEG (NO), the sub CPU 102 carries out a GG winning random allocation lottery for distributing the GG continuation rate (S904). Next, the sub CPU 102 stocks in the sub RAM 103 the GG continuation rate determined by the lottery at the time of winning the GG win (S905).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub flag conversion number is any of 23 to 25 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is "red 7N", "red 7SP" or "GOD") (S906).

Here, if it is determined that the sub-flag conversion number is any of 23 to 25 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the normal medium CZ predictive counter (S907), and sets the number of GG predictive games to 0. It sets (S908), sets the next game state to GG (S909), and ends the common lottery process.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is neither 23 to 25 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of GG main precursor games is 0 (S910). Here, if it is determined that the number of GG main precursor games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the common lottery process.

On the other hand, if the sub CPU 102 determines that the number of GG main predictive games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 performs the GG main predictive game number lottery to randomly determine the number of GG main predictive games (S911). The result of the lottery is set to the number of GG main precursor games (S912), and the common lottery process is ended.

<Post-lottery processing>
FIG. 108 is a flow chart showing the lottery post-processing executed in step S464 of the start command reception processing shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is a GG continuation rate stocked in the sub RAM 103 (S920). Here, if it is determined that there is a GG continuation rate stocked in the sub RAM 103 (YES), the sub CPU 102 randomly selects one of the GG continuation rates stocked in the sub RAM 103 to continue the lottery. The lottery is carried out (S921).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the continuation rate lottery has been won (S922). If it is determined that the continuation rate lottery has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the value of the GG counter (S923). On the other hand, when it is determined that the continuation rate lottery has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 deletes the GG continuation rate used for the lottery from the sub RAM 103 (S924).

When it is determined in step S920 that there is no GG continuation rate stored in the sub RAM 103 (NO), or after the processing of step S924 is executed, the sub CPU 102 determines that the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (that is, the sub flag conversion number is 22 to 24). It is determined whether or not the sub-flag conversion combination name is "right red 7", "red 7N" or "red 7SP") (S925).

Here, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not any of 22 to 24 (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes the CZ activation process shown in FIG. 109 (S926), and the GG activation process shown in FIG. 110. Is executed (S927), and the lottery post-process is ended.

On the other hand, when determining that the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ main predictive games (S928), and initializes the normal medium CZ main predictive counter (( (S929), the number of CZ main precursor games in GG is initialized (S930).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub game state is EG, SEG, or PEG (S931). Here, when it is determined that the sub gaming state is EG, SEG, or PEG (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the lottery post-processing.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub game state is neither EG, SEG nor PEG (NO), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of EG games (S932) and sets the next game state to EG (S933). , The lottery post-process is ended.

<CZ activation processing>
FIG. 109 is a flowchart showing the CZ activation process executed in step S926 of the lottery post-process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the value of the normal CZ main warning counter is 0 (S940). Here, if it is determined that the value of the normal CZ main warning counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ lottery games (S941).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is CZ1 in the CZ information stock (S942). Here, when it is determined that the CZ information stock has CZ1 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the next game state to CZ1 (S943), and ends the CZ activation process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the CZ information stock does not have CZ1 (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the next game state to CZ2 (S944), and ends the CZ activation process.

When it is determined in step S940 that the value of the normal CZ main precursor counter is not 0 (NO), or after the processing of step S943 or S944 is executed, the sub CPU 102 determines that the value of the GG middle CZ main precursor counter is 0. It is determined whether or not (S945).

Here, if it is determined that the value of the CZ main precursor counter in GG is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ activation process. On the other hand, when determining that the value of the CZ main sign counter in GG is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ lottery games (S946).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is CZ3 in the CZ information stock (S947). Here, when it is determined that the CZ information stock has CZ3 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the next game state to CZ3 (S948), and ends the CZ activation process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the CZ information stock does not have CZ3 (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the next game state to CZ4 (S949), and ends the CZ activation process.

<GG activation processing>
FIG. 110 is a flowchart showing the GG activation process executed in step S927 of the lottery post-process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of GG main agenda games is 0 (S950). If it is determined that the number of GG main agenda games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the GG activation process.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of GG main precursor games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of GG games (S951), sets the next game state to GG (S952), and executes the GG activation process. To finish.

<Output timing of external signal 2>
Next, the output timing of the external signal 2 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 114(a) and 114(b). FIG. 114(a) is a timing chart of various signals including the external signal 2 when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line when the GG is not in the GG due to the GOD alignment. On the other hand, FIG. 114(b) is a timing chart of various signals including the external signal 2 when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed again on the activated line during GG by GOD alignment.

First, in the present embodiment, when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line, "100" is set or added to the GOD counter (not shown) as the number of GG games. The GOD counter is a counter that operates when a combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line.

The value of the GOD counter is decremented by "1" every time a unit game is played, and is decremented until it finally becomes "0". An upper limit value is provided for the value of the GOD counter, and the upper limit value is “998”, for example.

Therefore, when the value of the GOD counter is "0", it indicates that the sub game state is not in GG due to GOD alignment. On the other hand, when the value of the GOD counter is "1" or more, it indicates that the sub game state is in GG by GOD alignment. The value of the GOD counter is cleared when the setting is changed in the pachi-slot machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 114(a), when the GG is not in the GOD alignment, that is, when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line when the value of the GOD counter is "0", the payout signal is turned ON. The external signal 2 is turned on, that is, output at the first timing (t1) which is earlier than the timing (t2) by a time period between t1 and t2.

Here, the external signal 2 corresponds to a special combination display signal. Further, the payout signal is included in various signals transmitted to the external device 200 after the end of the unit game, and specifically represents the start of payout of medals when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line. It is a signal. The payout signal corresponds to the reference signal.

In this way, the main CPU 93 is at the first timing (t1) with respect to the payout signal when the sub game state when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line is not GG due to GOD alignment. The external signal 2 is transmitted to the external device 200.

The external signal 2 turned on at the first timing (t1) is turned off after the payout of medals when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line and after the predetermined game lock is completed. ..

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 114(b), when the GG is in the GOD alignment, that is, when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line when the value of the GOD counter is "1", the payout is performed. The external signal 2 is turned ON, that is, output at the second timing (t3) which is earlier than the signal ON timing (t2) by the time period between the time t3 and the time t2.

Here, the second timing (t3) is different from the first timing (t1), and specifically, is earlier than the first timing (t1) with respect to the ON timing (t2) of the payout signal. It's timing.

In this way, the main CPU 93, when the sub game state when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line is GG by GOD alignment, the first timing (t1) with respect to the payout signal. The external signal 2 is transmitted to the external device 200 at the second timing (t3) different from the above.

In this case, the external signal 2 turned on at the second timing (t3) is turned off before the start of payout of medals or at the timing of time t4 at the start of payout when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line. To be done. The time from time t3 to time t4 is an arbitrarily set time, for example, 550 msec. The external signal 2 is also turned off when the setting of the pachi-slot machine 1 is changed.

<Lamp lighting mode>
Next, a lighting mode of the lamps 19L and 19R will be described with reference to FIG. 115. FIG. 115 is a schematic diagram of the lamp 19L. Although the lighting mode of the lamp 19L will be described below as an example, the lamp 19R has the same configuration.

As shown in FIG. 115, the lighting of the lamp 19L is controlled independently for each of the three regions 19a, 19b, 19c. That is, the LED group 25 (see FIG. 3) that configures the lamp 19L is independently light-controlled for each of the three regions 19a, 19b, and 19c.

Here, the three areas 19a, 19b, and 19c are provided corresponding to the upper, middle, and lower areas of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R provided in the frame of the display window 4 (see FIG. 2). It is a thing. Particularly, in the present embodiment, the three areas 19a, 19b, 19c correspond to the upper, middle and lower areas of the left reel 3L displayed in the frame of the display window 4L.

Specifically, of the three areas 19a, 19b, and 19c, the area 19a corresponds to the upper row of the left reel 3L displayed in the frame of the display window 4L, the area 19b corresponds to the middle row, and the area 19c. Corresponds to the lower row.

In the present embodiment, the lamp 19L lights one of the three areas 19a, 19b, and 19c when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when the effect of pressing the GOD button 29 occurs). Controlled.

At this time, one of the three areas 19a, 19b, and 19c is lit, so that the symbol of the left reel 3L corresponding to the illuminated area (the symbol stopped at any of the upper, middle, and lower tiers) It is possible to notify that the internal winning combination of the combination including “” has been established.

For example, when the symbol stopped on the upper stage of the left reel 3L when the area 19a is turned on is "GOD1", it is notified that the internal winning combination of the combination including "GOD1" is established. Thereby, the player can predict the established internal winning combination in advance by visually confirming the lighting region of the lamp 19L.

The timing for satisfying the above-described predetermined condition may be after the left reel 3L is stopped or before the left reel 3L is stopped. In particular, in the case before the left reel 3L is stopped, compared with the case where the left reel 3L is stopped randomly, the desired symbol is pushed in the area corresponding to the lighting area of the lamp 19L, etc. of the player. The interest for the stop operation can be improved.

As described above, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even when the specific condition for shifting the sub game state to GG is not established, when the sub game state is CZ, a plurality of decorations respectively determined If the special transition condition in which the types of symbols are the same is satisfied, the sub game state is shifted to GG, so that it is possible to prevent the player's interest in displaying the decorative symbols from being lowered.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment makes the player's interest in the game higher by increasing the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied when the sub game state is CZ rather than when the specific condition is satisfied. It can be improved and the operation can be improved.

In addition, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment determines a decorative pattern to be randomly selected as a number group before determining a decorative pattern, and changes the number of decorative patterns to be randomly selected, Since it is possible to change the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied when the game state is CZ, it is possible to give the player a degree of expectation in the CZ.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub game state is CZ, when "mirror" is displayed as the special decorative pattern on the liquid crystal display device 11, the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied becomes high. Therefore, the player's interest in the display of the decorative pattern can be improved.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub game state is CZ, even if the combination of decorative symbols of the same type is not displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11, it is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11. If the combination of the decorative patterns thus made is a predetermined GG winning reach, GG is added.

Therefore, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in a unit game in CZ, there is no possibility that a combination of combinations of decorative symbols of the same type is displayed before the last decorative symbol is displayed. Even if there is, the player's expectation can be maintained until the last decorative pattern is displayed.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment displays a case where a combination of decorative designs of the same type is partially included in the combination of decorative designs displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11, that is, the liquid crystal display device 11 displays the combination. When the combination of decorative patterns is in a so-called tempai state, by maintaining the combination of decorative patterns of the same type until the next unit game, the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied in CZ is high. Therefore, the player's interest in displaying the decorative pattern can be improved.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 even if the combination of decorative patterns displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 partially includes a combination of decorative patterns of the same type. Depending on the combination of decorative designs, the combination of decorative designs of the same type is not always maintained until the next unit game, so that the player's interest in displaying the decorative designs can be further improved.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment not only performs GG addition according to the result of each unit game in EG, but also advantageously adds GG to the player according to the number of remaining games in EG. As well as returning the number of remaining games in the EG to the specified number of unit games, the player can have various expectations for the game in the EG.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment performs GG addition when the history of past unit game results satisfies a predetermined condition regardless of whether or not the sub game state is EG. As a result, it is possible to make the player have more various expectations regarding the game in EG.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment displays the history of the past unit game results, so that even if the player does not store the past unit game results, the degree of expectation for GG addition Can be recognized by the player.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub game state is EG, if a special condition such as winning a lottery according to the internal winning combination is established, the lottery until the GG is added. By maintaining the number of remaining games of EG over the number of unit games determined by, the number of unit games of EG is increased and the probability that GG is added is substantially increased. Therefore, it is possible to make the player have various expectations.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the history of the past unit game results in the PEG is smaller than that in the case where the history of the past unit game results satisfies the predetermined condition in the sub game state other than PEG. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the GG is added to the player more advantageously, so that the player can have more various expectations for the game in the EG.

In addition, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a special role at first and second timings that are different from each other depending on whether the sub game state when the GOD alignment is displayed is GG due to the GOD alignment. Since the display signal is transmitted to the external device 200, it is possible to transmit to the external device 200 whether or not the sub game state when the GOD alignment to be transferred to the GG was displayed was the GG due to the GOD alignment. Thereby, on the external device 200 side, it is possible to determine whether or not the GOD alignment is displayed again in the GG by the GOD alignment.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment determines whether or not the sub game state when the GOD alignment is displayed is GG due to the GOD alignment according to the reception timing of the reference signal, for example, the special combination display signal with respect to the payout signal. Can be transmitted to the external device 200.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub gaming state is CZ, the following in the CZ, provided that the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is the heaven transition eye. After the unit game, since it is relatively easy to shift to GG, it is possible to improve the player's interest in displaying the decorative symbol.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub game state is CZ, when maintaining a combination of decorative symbols of the same type until the next unit game, stop operation in the next unit game Each time the game is performed, the probability of the special transition condition being satisfied in the CZ is further increased by performing the lottery of the decoration pattern that is not maintained, and thus the player's interest in the game in the CZ can be improved. it can.

Further, when the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment generates reel stop command data indicating that each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, the stop order in the unit game of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is set. It is generated so as to include the information to represent.

As a result, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the gaming machine state information is not generated in the stop order indicated by the reel stop command data indicating that each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, Since it is possible to determine that the progress is illegal, be prepared for an unexpected situation against an illegal trick such as making the gaming machine recognize a plurality of unit games as one unit game or invalidating the unit game. You can

In the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the start lever 16 is operated, the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped, and If the state of the pachi-slot machine 1 does not change in the order in which the winning or non-winning of the winning combination is determined, it is determined that the progress of the game is illegal, so a plurality of unit games are regarded as one unit game. It is possible to prepare for an unforeseen situation against an illegal trick such as causing the user to recognize or invalidating the unit game.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the illegal progress of the game is not detected, the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type as the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is partially. If included, by maintaining this combination of decorative symbols of the same type until the next unit game, the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied in CZ is increased, so that the player's interest in displaying the decorative symbol is increased. It is possible to improve, and it is possible to suppress fraud associated with the progress of the game.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the number of unit games included in the command data of the same type does not increase by one, it is determined that the progress of the game is illegal, and thus a plurality of unit games are performed. It is possible to prepare for an unforeseen situation against an illegal trick such as causing the gaming machine to recognize the unit game as one unit game or invalidating the unit game.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the number of unit games included in the command data indicating that the winning or non-winning of the winning combination is determined is not increased by one, the progress of the game is illegal. Since it is determined that there is the winning, it is possible to prevent the winning or non-winning of the illegal role.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment determines that the progress of the game is illegal unless the number of unit games included in the command data of all types related to the progress of the game is increased by one. Therefore, it is possible to detect early that the progress of the game is illegal.

In addition, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even if the light emitting body 14a of the MAX bet button 14 is made to emit the second emission color as the effect of the MAX bet button 14, the MAX bet button 14 is operated. In addition to turning off the light-emitting body 14a as a trigger, the light-emitting body 14a of the MAX bet button 14 is prohibited from emitting light in the first emission color until the maximum number of medals used in the unit game is set. It is possible to prevent the player from being confused when the button 14 is made to function also as a production button.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even when performing the effect with the MAX bet button 14, the insertion sound according to the insertion of each medal and the normal insertion of medals by various lamps other than the MAX bet button 14. The effect can be executed, and the effect of the effect can be enhanced by changing at least one of the making sound and the effect of various lamps other than the MAX bet button 14.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the lock is executed in each unit game, the light emitter 14a of the MAX bet button 14 emits the first light emission color until the lock is completed. Since the prohibition is made, it is possible to prevent the player who operates the MAX bet button 14 from mistakenly recognizing that the bet button has stopped functioning.

In addition, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment deletes the special mode stock information that should not be stored in the CZ information stock according to the sub game state, so an unexpected situation against an illegal trick that induces GG Can be prepared for.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the special mode stock information indicating that the CZ that facilitates the game state to be relatively shifted to the GG is stocked cannot be stored in the CZ information stock. When the game is stored in the CZ information stock, the special mode stock information is deleted from the CZ information stock, so that it is possible to prepare for an unexpected situation against an illegal trick that induces GG.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the specific condition is satisfied in the carry-over state of the BB, the sub game state shifts to GG, so if the winning combination of the BB is won, the operation of the BB is performed next. Until the winning combination is won internally, it becomes a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state of BB.

Therefore, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a player who has won the winning combination of the BB wins the winning combination of the BB, the winning combination of the BB ends after the BB ends. Be careful not to let the working combination of BB win even if the winning combination of BB is notified by notifying that it is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state of BB until is decided as the internal winning combination. Therefore, the player can play the game without embarrassing the player.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even if the working combination of BB is not determined as the internal winning combination, when the gaming machine is in the initial state such as at the time of factory shipment, Since it is not notified that it is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state, it is possible to save the trouble of keeping the BB in the carry-over state before playing the game to the player, and the pachi-slot machine 1 in the initial state such as the factory shipment. It is possible to make it difficult for the player to understand that there is something.

[Modification]
The in-CZ process shown in FIGS. 86 and 87 may be modified as described below with reference to FIGS. 119 and 120. In executing the modified CZ processing, the table described below is referred to by the sub CPU 102.

<CZ1 button stock lottery table>
The CZ1 button stock lottery table shown in FIG. 116 represents the probability of determining the number of winning counters to be added to the button counter for each sub-flag lottery combination. In the present embodiment, the number of winning counters is determined in the range of 0 to 5 which is non-winning.

For example, when the sub-flag lottery combination is “CU bell”, “1” is determined with a probability of 24576/32768, “2” is determined with a probability of 6144/32768, and “2” is determined with a probability of 2048/32768. 5” are decided.

<CZ1GG lottery table>
The CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117 represents the winning probability of GG for each sub-flag lottery combination. For example, when the sub-flag lottery combination is “CU bell”, the non-winning of GG is determined with a probability of 8192/32768, and the winning of GG is determined with a probability of 24576/32768.

<CZ1 button counter GG conversion lottery table>
The CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 118 represents the probabilities of non-winning and winning GG for one value of the button counter. In the present embodiment, the winning of GG is determined with a probability of 32768/32768.

Note that the CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117 is set so that GG is won by the value of the button counter, but non-winning and winning is distributed to one value of the button counter with a predetermined probability. It may be set to.

<CZ processing (modification)>
119 and 120 are flowcharts showing a modified example of the CZ processing shown in FIGS. 86 and 87.

First, the sub CPU 102 executes the common processing shown in FIGS. 101 and 102 (S960). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of elapsed games of CZ1 is 0 (S961). Here, if it is determined that the number of elapsed games of CZ1 is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets 5 to the button stock lottery game number (S962), and sets 1 to the button counter (S963). ..

When it is determined in step S961 that the number of CZ1 elapsed games is not 0 (NO) or after the processing of step S963 ends, the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the number of CZ1 elapsed games (S964).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is “right red 7”, “red 7N” or “red 7SP”) (S965). ).

Here, if it is determined that the sub-flag conversion number is neither 22 to 24 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of button stock lottery games is 0 (S966).

Here, when it is determined that the button stock lottery game number is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the button stock lottery game number (S967). Next, the sub CPU 102 refers to the CZ1 button stock lottery table shown in FIG. 116 and performs the CZ1 button stock lottery to randomly determine the number of button stocks with a probability according to the sub-flag lottery number (S968). Next, the sub CPU 102 adds the winning counter number to the value of the button counter based on the result of the CZ1 button stock lottery (S969), and finishes the CZ in-process.

If it is determined in step S966 that the number of button stock lottery games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 refers to the CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117, and has a probability of being associated with the sub flag lottery number. The CZ1GG lottery is performed to determine whether or not the lottery has been won by lottery (S970).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the added GG number is 0 (S971). In the present embodiment, if the CZ1GG lottery is won in step S970, the additional GG number is set to 1, and if not, the additional GG number is set to 0.

Here, when it is determined that the number of CZ information stocks is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 performs normal CZ precursor counter lottery (S979), and outputs the result of the normal CZ precursor counter lottery. It is set in the CZ book precursor counter (S980).

When it is determined in step S978 that the number of CZ information stocks is not 1 or more (NO), or after executing the processing of step S980, the sub CPU 102 sets the next game state to normal (S981), and during CZ. The process ends.

When it is determined in step S977 that the value of the GG counter is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of GG games (S982), and sets 0 to the number of GG main precursor games (S983). , The next game state is set to GG (S984), and the process during CZ is completed.

When it is determined in step S965 that the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (YES), the sub CPU 102 clears the button stock lottery game number to 0 (S985).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the value of the button counter is 0 (S986). Here, if it is determined that the value of the button counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the in-CZ process.

On the other hand, when determining that the value of the button counter is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the value of the button counter (S987). Next, the sub CPU 102 carries out the CZ button counter GG conversion lottery for performing the GG lottery with the probability shown in the CZ button counter GG conversion lottery table shown in FIG. 118 (S988).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the GG is won in the CZ button counter GG conversion lottery (S989). Here, when it is determined that the GG is won (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the value of the GG counter (S990).

When it is determined in step S989 that the GG has not been won (NO), or after the processing of step S990 is executed, the sub CPU 102 executes the processing of step S986.

The CZ processing shown in FIGS. 119 and 120 has been described as being executed instead of the CZ processing shown in FIGS. 86 and 87, but when the sub gaming state is CZ1 or CZ3, The processing during CZ shown in FIGS. 86 and 87 is executed, and when the sub game state is CZ2 or CZ4, the processing during CZ shown in FIGS. 119 and 120 is executed, and so on. CZ1 to CZ4 Alternatively, any of the CZ processing may be executed.
