Description

The present invention relates to a slot machine that plays a game.

A slot machine is generally equipped with a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels on which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn as identification information on the outer peripheral portion, and first bets are made by a player's bet number setting operation. By setting the number and starting the operation with the specified number of bets set, the reels start to rotate, and the stop button as the derivation operation means provided corresponding to each reel is operated. Stop the rotation. In a normal game, when the rotation of all reels is stopped, a predetermined combination of winning symbols (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter also referred to as a combination of symbols) is derived on the winning line. Winning will occur. That is, the game progresses by the operation of the player.

These prize-winning roles include special roles that accompany the transition to a special game state that is advantageous to the player, small roles that accompany the addition of game value such as medals, and replay that allows the game to be played without using the game value. There are re-game roles that accompany the granting of games. In general, these winning combinations can be won on the condition that they have won the internal lottery that is performed at the same time as the start operation.

However, in order for a slot machine to win a prize, it is usually necessary to win an internal lottery that is performed before the display result is derived and displayed on the variable display device, and a winning flag is set. On the contrary, when the winning flag is set, the reel pull-in control is performed within a certain range according to the winning flag, and a prize can be generated. Therefore, the occurrence of winning is largely determined by the internal lottery rather than the skill of the player, and there is little room for the player to intervene in the technique.

On the other hand, CT (Challenge Time) that changes and controls the range of pull-in control when the reel is stopped, and enables the winning of a small winning combination that does not involve the transition of the gaming state regardless of the result of the internal lottery. There is a slot machine that has a gaming state called).

Further, on the reel that is stopped and controlled within a predetermined time (for example, 75 ms) during CT, one small winning combination symbol that wins during CT is always arranged among three consecutive symbols selected at random. There is known a slot machine (see, for example, Patent Document 1) that prevents a small winning combination from being missed during CT by arranging it in three frames between them.

Japanese Patent No. 4918711

However, if the small winning combination is prevented from being missed during CT, a prize will be generated regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch and the operation timing, and there is a problem that the derivation of the display result is not interesting.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a problem, and provides a slot machine capable of further improving the interest in deriving a display result by paying attention to the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switch. With the goal.

(1) A plurality of variable display units (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, are provided.
In a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a display result is derived after variable display of the variable display unit and a prize can be generated according to a display result combination which is a combination of display results of a plurality of variable display units.
Predetermining means (for example, main control unit 41) for determining the display result combinations that are allowed to be derived before the display result is derived,
When the derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated by the player to derive the display result and the derivation operation means are operated, a predetermined delay is performed after the operation is performed. A display result that can be derived within a time range, and a derivation control means (for example, the main control unit 41) that derives a display result according to the determination result of the prior determination means.
A game state control means (for example, the main control unit 41) that controls a game state including a normal state and a specific state different from the normal state (for example, the game state is CT).
With
The predetermining means allows the derivation of a plurality of types of small combination combinations including the first small combination combination (for example, watermelon) and the second small combination combination (for example, bell, cherry) in the specific state. Decide and
The derivation control means
In the normal state, a display result that can be derived within the range of the first delay time (for example, 190 ms) is derived for each of the plurality of variable display units.
In the specific state, a display result that can be derived for a specific variable display unit (for example, reel 2L) within a range of a second delay time (for example, 75 ms) shorter than the first delay time among a plurality of variable display units can be obtained. A display result that can be derived within the range of the first delay time is derived for a non-specific variable display unit (for example, reel 2C, reel 2R) other than the specific variable display unit.
While the first small combination may not be derived depending on the operation timing of the derived operation means for the non-specific variable display unit, the first small combination may not be derived.
The second small combination can be derived regardless of the operation timing of the derivation operation means for the non-specific variable display unit.
The derivation control means
In the specific state, when the operation for deriving the display result of the specific variable display unit is performed first, and when the timing of the operation for deriving the display result of the specific variable display unit is the first specific operation timing, the non-specific operation is performed. The variable display unit is controlled to preferentially derive the display results constituting the first small combination, and when the timing is different from the first specific operation timing, the non-specific variable display unit is combined with the second small combination. Controls to preferentially derive the display results that make up
In the specific state, when the operation for deriving the display result of the non-specific variable display unit is performed first, the timing of the operation for deriving the display result of the non-specific variable display unit is the second specific operation timing. 2 Control that makes it more difficult to derive the display result constituting any of a plurality of types of small winning combination to the specific variable display unit than when the timing is different from the specific operation timing (for example, not to miss the small winning combination). A slot machine characterized by performing controls) that are difficult to achieve.

According to such a configuration, the stop order of the variable display unit causes a change in the pull-in combination and a change in the operation timing for avoiding omission, and it is possible to enhance the interest in deriving the display result.

(2) In the slot machine described in (1) above,
The number of gaming values given may be the same (for example, eight) when the first small winning combination is derived and when the second small winning combination is derived.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent advantages and disadvantages from occurring due to the stop operation procedure.

(3) In the slot machine described in (1) or (2) above,
The first specific operation timing may be different from the stop operation timing normally aimed at by the player (for example, the operation timing in which the cherry or watermelon is not dropped when the game state is other than CT).

With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a player who is lost in operation from selecting a difficult operation procedure.

(4) In the slot machine according to any one of (1) to (3) above.
When performing control that makes it difficult to derive the display result constituting any of a plurality of types of small combination combinations to the specific variable display unit, it is possible to derive any of a plurality of types of small combination combinations. The operation timing may include a stop operation timing that the player normally aims at.

With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a player who is lost in operation from selecting a difficult operation procedure.

(5) In the slot machine according to any one of (1) to (4) above.
When the first small combination combination is derived, an effect different from that when the second small combination combination is derived (for example, flash effect, setting suggestion effect, etc.) may be performed.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the interest in which display result is derived.

Further, in this embodiment, a configuration using three reels is illustrated, but a configuration using only one reel, a configuration using two reels, and a configuration using four or more reels may be used. In the configuration using two or more reels, the winning may be determined based on the combination of the display results derived to all the two or more reels. Further, in this embodiment, the variable display device is configured by a physical reel, but the variable display device may be configured by an image display device such as a liquid crystal display.

Further, in the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment, after the game is started and the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated to start the fluctuation of the symbol, one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated. When this is done, the rotation of the reels corresponding to the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped and the symbol is stopped and displayed.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the maximum delay time from the operation timing of the stop switch 8L to the stop is shortened for the left reel 2L, and a small winning combination that does not involve a transition of the gaming state is performed regardless of the result of the internal lottery. It has a gaming state called CT (Challenge Time) that enables a prize to be generated. That is, when the game state is CT, the main control unit 41 (predetermined means) displays a plurality of types of small winning combination including watermelon (first small winning combination) and bell (second small winning combination) in the same game. Allow derivation. The main control unit 41 (game state control means) controls the transition of a plurality of game states including the normal state, AT, CT, and the like. It should be noted that the transition condition and the transition timing of the gaming state may be any.

When the gaming state is other than CT (for example, when the gaming state is normal), the maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is 190 ms. (Milliseconds).

The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate 80 times per minute and change the symbol of 80 x 21 (the number of symbol frames per reel) = 1680 frames, so that a maximum of 4 frames can be drawn in 190 ms. You will be able to do it. That is, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols up to 4 frames ahead of the stops, for a total of 5 frames.

Therefore, for example, when any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated, when the symbol displayed at the bottom of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, the symbol is up to 4 frames ahead. Since the symbol can be displayed in the lower row, when any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated in each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, the symbol is displayed in the lower row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. It is possible to display the symbols arranged within 5 frames including the existing symbols in the lower row.

When the gaming state is CT, the maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switch 8L to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reel 2L is 75 ms, and the operation of the stop switches 8C and 8R to the corresponding reels 2C and 2R The maximum stop delay time until the rotation is stopped is 190 ms.

Since the reel 2L rotates 80 times per minute and changes the symbol of 80 × 21 (the number of symbol frames per reel) = 1680 frames, it is possible to pull in a maximum of one frame within 75 ms. Become. That is, when the game state is CT, the symbols displayed when the stop switch 8L is operated and the symbols one frame ahead of the reel 2L can be selected as the stop symbols for a total of two frames. It is a design.

Therefore, when the gaming state is CT, when the stop switch 8L is operated, when the symbol displayed at the bottom of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, the symbol is up to one frame ahead. Since the symbols can be displayed in the lower row, in the reel 2L, the symbols arranged within 2 frames including the symbol displayed in the middle row of the reel 2L when the stop switch 8L is operated are displayed in the lower row. Can be made to.

Even when the gaming state is CT, the maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8C and 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2C and 2R is 190 ms. Therefore, even when the gaming state is CT, the reels corresponding to the stop switches 8C and 8R can be selected as the stop symbols of the reels 2C and 2R when any of the stop switches 8C and 8R is operated as described above. It is possible to display the symbols arranged within 5 frames including the symbols displayed in the lower row in the lower row.

As described above, when the gaming state is CT, the maximum stop delay time of the reel 2L is shorter than the maximum delay time in the normal gaming state. The details of the reel control when the gaming state is CT will be described later.

In the following, reels 2L, 2C, and 2R may be simply referred to as reels when it is not necessary to distinguish them. Further, the reel 2L may be referred to as a left reel, the reel 2C may be referred to as a middle reel, and the reel 2R may be referred to as a right reel. Further, the operation of stopping the reels 2L, 2C and 2R by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R may be referred to as a stop operation.

When this is done, the power failure detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal to that effect to the main control unit 41 and the main control unit 41 in a state where the power supply is unstable such as when the power is turned on or when the power is cut off It is equipped with a reset circuit 49 that gives a system reset signal.

FIG. 5 shows a configuration example of the main control unit 41 mounted on the game control board 40. The main control unit 41 is a one-chip microcomputer, and includes an external bus interface 501, a clock circuit 502, a collation block 503, a unique information storage circuit 504, an arithmetic circuit 505, a reset / interrupt controller 506, and the like. CPU (Central Processing Unit) 41a, ROM (Read Only Memory) 41b, RAM (Random Access Memory) 41c, free run counter circuit 507, random number circuits 508a, 508b, timer circuit 509, interrupt controller 510. , A parallel input port 511, a serial communication circuit 512, a parallel output port 513, and an address decoding circuit 514.

The reset / interrupt controller 506 is for controlling various resets and interrupt requests that occur inside or outside the main control unit 41. The reset / interrupt controller 506 includes an out-of-designated area travel prohibition (IAT) circuit 506a and a watchdog timer (WDT) 506b. The IAT circuit 506a is a circuit that monitors whether or not the user program is correctly executed in the designated area, and has a function of outputting an IAT generation signal when it detects that the user program is executed outside the designated area. Further, the watchdog timer 506b has a function of generating a timeout signal for each set period.

The external bus interface 501 is a bus interface having an interface function between the external bus and the internal bus of the chip constituting the main control unit 41, an address bus, a data bus, and a direction control function for each control signal. The clock circuit 502 is a circuit that generates the internal system clock SCLK by dividing the control clock CCLK by two or the like. The collation block 503 has a function of connecting to an external collation machine and collating chips. The unique information storage circuit 504 is a circuit that stores a plurality of types of unique information that is internal information of the main control unit 41. The arithmetic circuit 505 is a circuit that performs multiplication and division.

The CPU 41a is a control CPU that executes game control in the slot machine 1 by executing a user program (game control processing program for game control) based on the control code read from the ROM 41b. When such game control is executed, a fixed data read operation in which the CPU 41a reads fixed data from the ROM 41b, a variable data writing operation in which the CPU 41a writes various variable data to the RAM 41c and temporarily stores them, and a CPU 41a is temporarily stored in the RAM 41c. Variable data read operation to read various variable data, CPU 41a receives input of various signals from the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501, parallel input port 511, serial communication circuit 512, etc., CPU 41a Also performs transmission operations such as outputting various signals to the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501, the serial communication circuit 512, the parallel output port 513, and the like.

The ROM 41b stores a control code indicating a user program (game control processing program for game control), fixed data, and the like. The RAM 41c provides a work area or the like for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 41c may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power supply. That is, even if the power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped, at least a part of the contents of the RAM 41c is stored for a predetermined period.

An 8-bit free run counter is mounted as the free run counter circuit 507. The random number circuits 508a and 508b are circuits that generate numerical data such as 8-bit random numbers and 16-bit random numbers, which are random number values having a predetermined update range. In this embodiment, the hardware random number generated by the 16-bit random number circuit 508b out of the random number circuits 508a and 508b is used as a random number for internal lottery described later. The timer circuit 509 is a 16-bit programmable timer, which counts down the set timer value based on the input of the control clock CCLK, and outputs an interrupt request signal to the interrupt controller when it reaches 0000H. In this embodiment, the timer circuit 509 can be used to perform periodic interrupt requests and time measurement.

The interrupt controller 510 is a circuit that controls an external interrupt request from an interrupt terminal and an interrupt request from a built-in peripheral circuit (for example, serial communication circuit 512, random number circuits 508a, 508b, timer circuit 509). .. The parallel input port 511 has a built-in 8-bit wide input-only port. Further, the parallel output port 513 included in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 4 has a built-in 11-bit wide output dedicated port. The serial communication circuit 512 is a circuit that performs asynchronous serial communication in input / output to the outside.

The address decoding circuit 514 is a circuit for decoding each functional block inside the main control unit 41 and decoding a chip select signal which is a decoding signal for an external device. The chip select signal enables the internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or an external device as a peripheral device to be selectively and effectively operated to be accessed from the CPU 41a.

For example, when the main control unit 41 accesses an area of the storage area of the ROM 41b in which a program or the like is not stored, or when there is an access to an area of the storage area of the RAM 41c for which access prohibition is set. That is, by generating an illegal access reset when there is an access to a memory area that is not accessed in normal operation, the progress of the game is disabled, and the unused area and operation of ROM 41b are disabled. Even when an illegal program is stored in an area unrelated to the above, an unused area of the RAM 41c, or the like, it is possible to prevent the illegal program from being executed.

Further, the main control unit 41 is activated when an internal or external reset occurs. At this time, the value set in the vector table assigned to the ROM 41b and in which the start address of the interrupt process is set. However, it is judged whether it is a value indicating unused or a value indicating the area where the program etc. is actually stored, and if it is neither of the values, it is not started and interrupts. It is possible to prevent in advance that an unintended process is executed due to an occurrence or the like.

The main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513. The command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and the command is not sent from the sub control unit 91 to the main control unit 41. Further, in this embodiment, the command is transmitted to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513, that is, the command is transmitted as a parallel signal, but the command is transmitted via the serial communication circuit 512. A configuration in which a command is transmitted to the sub control unit 91, that is, a configuration in which the command is transmitted as a serial signal may be used.

Further, the main control unit 41 inputs the detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the parallel input port 511. Then, the main control unit 41 executes the main process of gradually shifting according to the detection states of the various switches input from the parallel input ports 511. Further, the main control unit 41 can interrupt the main process and execute the interrupt process when the interrupt occurs. In this embodiment, the timer interrupt process (main) is executed at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment) when a timeout occurs in the timer circuit 509. Further, the main control unit 41 is set to automatically prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, a predetermined order is obtained. The interrupt to be executed with priority is set. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the interrupt process is completed, the interrupt is interrupted when the interrupt process is completed. The ban will be automatically lifted, at which point a new interrupt will occur. In addition, it is set to automatically prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and the interrupt prohibition is not automatically canceled when the interrupt process is completed, but the interrupt process is performed. Other interrupts may be prohibited by the program at the start, and the interrupt prohibition may be canceled by the program at the end of the interrupt process.

The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the processing according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes as the main processing, and responds to the change in the detection state of the various switches. Execute the process of gradual migration. Further, the main control unit 41 executes the timer interrupt process (main) at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). The execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to be longer than the total time of the time in which the process repeated according to the control state in the main process completes and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main). This means that the process of repeating the timer interrupt process (main) between this time and the next time according to the control state always completes at least one cycle.

An effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input. Further, an effect device such as a liquid crystal display 51, an effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, and a reel LED 55 is connected, and these effect devices are controlled by a sub control unit 91 described later mounted on the effect control board 90. It is designed to be driven based on. In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53, 54, and the reel LED 55. However, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board separately from the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output pattern of the effect device may be determined, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be used. The output control of the production device is performed by both units. Further, in this embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53, 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, and for example, a mechanically driven display is used. A device or a mechanically driven role object may be applied as a directing device.

The effect control board 90 includes a sub control unit 91 composed of a microcomputer provided with a sub CPU 91a, a ROM 91b, a RAM 91c, and an I / O port 91d to control the effect, and a liquid crystal display 51 connected to the effect control board 90. The display control circuit 92 that controls the display, the effect LED 52, the LED drive circuit 93 that controls the drive of the reel LED 55, and the audio output circuit 94 that controls the audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, when the power is turned on or A reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time, and a switch detection circuit 96 that detects a detection signal input from switches connected to the effect control board 90. , The clock device 97 that outputs time information including date information and time information, and when the power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1 is monitored and a voltage drop is detected, a voltage drop signal indicating that fact is sent to the sub CPU 91a. A power failure detection circuit 98 that outputs to the device, other circuits, and the like are mounted.

The sub CPU 91a receives a command transmitted from the game control board 40, performs various controls for performing an effect according to a program for effect control stored in the ROM 91b, and is mounted on the effect control board 90. Control each part of the control circuit directly or indirectly.

In the game control board 40, the reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 that gives the system reset signal to the main control unit 41, and the sub control unit 91 controls the main control when the power is turned on. It is designed to start at an earlier stage than the unit 41. On the other hand, the power failure detection circuit 98 is set to have a lower voltage for outputting the voltage drop signal than the power failure detection circuit 48 for outputting the voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40, and is set to have a lower voltage when the power is cut. The sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a stage later than that of the main control unit 41, and performs a power failure process (sub) described later.

Like the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. , Executes command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 generates an interrupt every time the number of input of the system clock reaches a certain number, that is, at a fixed time interval (about 2 ms), and executes a timer interrupt process (sub) described later. Further, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process when an interrupt occurs based on the reception of a command, even if the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and even if the interrupt that triggers the timer interrupt process (sub) occurs at the same time, the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority. Further, the backup power supply is also supplied to the sub control unit 91 at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power supply is supplied.

In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. More specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using the winning probability according to the set value in the lottery that affects the advantage to the player such as the internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is.

In order to change the set value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after turning on the setting key switch 37. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Move to the changed state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated by 1 (when the setting value 6 is further operated, the setting value is changed to 1). Return). Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is fixed as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the confirmed display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the game shifts to a state in which the game can proceed. Further, since the main control unit 41 initializes the RAM 41c as it shifts to the setting change state, the operation of changing the set value also functions as an operation of initializing the control state of the main control unit 41. Will be done.

It should be noted that, when the power is turned on while the setting key switch 37 is on, the setting change state may be entered on condition that the door open detection switch 25 detects the opening of the front door 1b. Well, with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the setting from being changed illegally when the front door 1b is not opened. Further, in the configuration of shifting to the setting change state on condition that the detection corresponding to the opening of the front door 1b is performed, the door opening detection switch 25 corresponds to the opening of the front door 1b after shifting to the setting change state. It is preferable to maintain the setting change state even if the detection is not performed. Therefore, even if the front door 1b is temporarily closed during the setting change, the operation for shifting to the setting change state is performed again. It is not necessary and the setting change operation is not complicated. Further, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off after the start switch 7 is operated to confirm the set value after shifting to the setting change state, the door open detection switch 25 detects the front door 1b to be opened. On the condition that the setting is changed, the setting change state may be terminated and the game may proceed to a state in which the game can proceed. Even in such a configuration, the front door 1b is illegally opened. It is possible to prevent the setting from being changed.

Further, in order to confirm the set value, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on after the game is finished and the bet number is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value display 24 displays the setting value read from the RAM 41c, so that the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the progress of the game is impossible, and by turning off the setting key switch 37, the setting confirmation state ends and the game returns to the state in which the progress is possible.

After the game is over, when the setting key switch 37 is turned on when the number of bets is not set, it is a condition that the door opening detection switch 25 detects the opening of the front door 1b. In addition, a configuration that shifts to the setting confirmation state may be used, and such a configuration can prevent the setting value from being illegally confirmed when the front door 1b is not opened. Further, in the configuration of shifting to the setting confirmation state on the condition that the detection corresponding to the opening of the front door 1b is performed, the door opening detection switch 25 corresponds to the opening of the front door 1b after shifting to the setting confirmation state. It is preferable to maintain the setting confirmation state even if the detection is not performed. Therefore, even if the front door 1b is temporarily closed during the setting confirmation, the operation for shifting to the setting confirmation state again is performed. It is not necessary and the setting confirmation operation is not complicated. Further, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off after the start switch 7 is operated to confirm the set value after the transition to the setting confirmation state, the door open detection switch 25 detects the front door 1b to be opened. On the condition that the setting is confirmed, the setting confirmation state may be terminated and the game may be returned to the state in which the game can proceed. Even in such a configuration, the front door 1b is illegally not opened. It is possible to prevent the set value from being confirmed.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a voltage drop signal from the power failure detection circuit 48 is detected each time the timer interrupt process (main) is executed. When the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, the power failure process (main) for setting the data for determining whether the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the next return is performed. Execute.

Then, the main control unit 41 returns the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before the power failure based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, provided that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of its activation. However, when the RAM 41c data is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, the RAM error error code is set in the register to control the RAM error error state, and the progress of the game is disabled.

The error state shifts to the normal error state that is canceled by the reset operation (operation of the reset / setting switch 38 or the reset switch 23) and the setting change state described above, and is canceled until a new setting value is set. The RAM error state is a special error state, including the special error state without, and once controlled to the RAM error error state, it shifts to the setting change state and is released until a new setting value is set. Will not be done.

Further, the sub control unit 91 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98 is detected in the timer interrupt processing (sub), and when it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected, At the next return, the power interruption process (sub) for setting the data for determining whether the data in the RAM 91c is normal is executed.

Then, the sub-control unit 91 returns the processing state of the sub-control unit 91 to the state before the power failure based on the data stored in the RAM 91c, provided that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of its activation. However, when the data in the RAM 91c is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 41, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the execution of the effect is not disabled.

Further, even if it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of its activation, the sub control unit 91 is activated when it receives a setting command described later indicating that the setting has been changed from the main control unit 41. The RAM 91c is initialized even when neither the return command nor the setting command, which will be described later, indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been restored is received even after a certain period of time has elapsed. In this case as well, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the execution of the effect is not disabled.

Next, the initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The usable area of the storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into a game RAM area, an unused area 4, and a non-game RAM area. Further, the game RAM area is divided into a special work, an important work, a general work, an unused area 3, and a game stack area. The special work is a work in which data that is not initialized even if the set value is changed is stored, and software random numbers, set values, data indicating the game state, and the like are stored. The important work is a work in which data that is inconvenient to be initialized at the end of a specific game state (RB, BB) is stored, and is the LED display data, input port, output port input / output data, and game time. The timekeeping counter etc. are stored. The general work is a work in which data that can be initialized at the end of a specific game state is stored, and a stop symbol, the number of medals to be paid out, and the like are stored. The unused area 3 is a work that is not used in any of the programs. The game stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored during execution of the game program described later.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 displays the data of the RAM 41c when the setting key switch 37 is started when the setting key switch 37 is ON and the data of the RAM 41c is destroyed when the setting key switch 37 is started. Each initial is when the initialization condition consisting of five is satisfied: when it is not destroyed, when the setting change state is finished, when the specific game state (RB, BB) is finished, and when one game is finished. Five types of initialization with different regions to be initialized are performed according to the conversion conditions.

Initialization 0 is initialization performed when the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of startup with the setting key switch 37 ON, and initialization 0 initializes all the usable areas. .. The initialization 1 is the initialization performed when the data of the RAM 41c is not destroyed at the time of starting with the setting key switch 37 ON, and in the initialization 1, the area other than the special work of the game RAM area is not. All areas of the game RAM area are initialized. The initialization 2 is the initialization performed after the setting change state is completed by starting the setting key switch 37 in the ON state, and in the initialization 2, the special work and the game stack area (in use) in the game RAM area. Areas other than) are initialized. The initialization 3 is an initialization performed at the end of a specific game state, and in the initialization 3, the general work, the unused area 3, and the game stack area (unused) in the game RAM area are initialized. The initialization 4 is an initialization performed at the end of one game, and in the initialization 4, the unused area 3 of the game RAM area and the game stack area (unused) are initialized. The storage area of the data indicating the set value and the game state is allocated to the special work, and the data of the RAM 41c is not destroyed at the time of starting with the setting key switch 37 ON, that is, the data of the RAM 41c. If is normal and the setting is changed, the set value and the data indicating the game state will be retained. Further, the storage area of the timer counter, which will be described later, is allocated to the important work, and is held without being initialized at the end of the game or the end of a specific game state.

Further, when the main control unit 41 of this embodiment executes the above-mentioned initialization, the start address and the end address are specified as the RAM addresses to be initialized, so that the main control unit 41 is one byte from the specified start address. After overwriting the data of 1 with 0, the logical sum of the 1-byte data is calculated, and if the calculation result is 0, the process of moving to the next address is repeated until the specified end address is reached. , Initializes the RAM area in the specified address range.

When the main control unit 41 in this embodiment is activated due to the occurrence of a reset, the main control unit 41 is set at startup. In the startup setting, the status flag provided in the main control unit 41 is initialized. The status flag is data that holds the state of the operation result and the execution result of the instruction, and particularly includes the interrupt master permission flag that sets the prohibition / permission of interrupt. Since the initial value of the interrupt master permission flag is a value indicating the prohibition of interrupts, the main control unit 41 is started in a state where interrupts are prohibited. After that, after setting various functions by referring to the HW parameters described later, when a reset occurs according to the program stored in the program / data area, it is started in the interrupt-prohibited state and then executed first. Start the initial setting process.

In the initial setting process, the main control unit 41 first sets the interrupt to prohibit, then determines whether or not the setting key switch 37 is in the ON state at startup, and the setting key switch 37 is ON at startup. When it is determined that the state is in the state, the process shifts to the setting change process, and the RAM 41c is initialized at the start of the setting change process. At this time, if the data in the RAM 41c is normal, the special work is held and the other areas are initialized so that even after the setting is changed, a part of the control state (set value, game state, etc.) before the change can be obtained. On the other hand, when the data in the RAM 41c is not normal, the abnormality in the data in the RAM 41c can be surely eliminated by initializing all the areas of the usable area including the special work. It has become.

After initializing the RAM 41c, interrupt is set to allow, the set value is updated by 1 in the range of 1 to 6 each time the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and after the ON of the start switch 7 is detected, The set value when the ON of the setting key switch 37 is detected is stored in the RAM 41c, and the setting change process is completed.

In this way, the initial value of the interrupt master permission flag is a value indicating that interrupts are prohibited, and the main control unit 41 is started in a state where interrupts are prohibited, and even in the initial setting process after startup, first , Since the initial setting process is executed after the interrupt is set to prohibit, it is possible to prevent an unintended interrupt from occurring.

Further, after the setting change processing is completed, the main control unit 41 executes a main process for stepwise processing according to the progress of the game for each game unit. Further, in the main process, the RAM 41c is initialized for each game unit, and the RAM 41c is also initialized at the end of the setting change process. Then, after the setting change process is completed, the main process is started from the stage before the process of initializing the RAM 41c in the main process, and the initialization of the RAM 41c after the setting change process is completed and the game unit. It is possible to initialize the RAM 41c for each unit by a common process.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a specified number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined, and the game is provided on the condition that the specified number of bets determined according to the gaming state is set. Can be started. In this embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a predetermined number of bets are set according to the gaming state.

Then, in this embodiment, when all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, the activated winning line (in the case of this embodiment, all winning lines are always activated, so that the following is valid. A winning line is obtained when a combination of symbols called a role is aligned on the winning line (the winning line is simply called the winning line). The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols.

The types of winning roles are determined according to the game status, but they can be broadly divided into small roles that involve paying out medals and re-starting the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There is a game role and a special role with a transition to a game state that is advantageous to the player. In the following, the small role and the replay role are collectively referred to as the general role. In order for each winning combination determined according to the game state to be won, it is necessary to win the internal lottery described later and set the winning flag of the winning combination in the RAM 41c. Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flags for the small combination and the replay combination are valid only in the game in which the flags are set, and are invalid in the next game, but the winning flag for the special combination is , It is valid until the combinations of the allowed combinations are complete by the flag, and is invalid in the game in which the combinations of the allowed combinations are complete. That is, once the winning flag of the special role is won, even if the combination of the winning combination permitted by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

Next, the internal lottery of this embodiment will be described. The internal lottery is performed before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, whether or not the main control unit 41 (predetermining means) allows the winning of each of the above-mentioned combinations. Is determined when the start switch 7 is detected). In the internal lottery, first, a random number value (an integer of 0 to 65535) for the internal lottery is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set in the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. Then, for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state, according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work and the number of determination values of each winning combination determined according to the current gaming state, the number of bets, and the set value. It is determined whether or not to allow the prize.

In the internal lottery, the number of judgment values determined according to the winning combination, the current game state, and the set value to be the target of the internal lottery is sequentially added to the random number value for the internal lottery (numerical data stored in the lottery work). When the numbers are added and the result of the addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. Therefore, the winning combination is won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the magnitude of the number of determination values.

Then, the winning number indicating the result of the internal lottery is set in the RAM 41c. The winning number is used for setting an internal winning flag, navigating notification, command creation, stopping control of reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and the like.

When the winning of any of the winning combinations is determined, the winning flag corresponding to the winning combination determined based on the winning number is set in the internal winning flag storage work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work is composed of a 2-byte storage area, in which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storage work in which the winning flag of the special combination is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general combination. It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when the special role is won, the winning flag of the special role indicating that the special role is won is set in the special role storage work, and when the general role is won, the general role is won. A general role winning flag indicating that effect is set in the general role storage work. If none of the combinations and combinations of combinations are won, the special combination storage work and the general combination storage work are cleared.

Further, in the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not to control the AT in a state where it is not controlled by the AT, which will be described later, and whether or not to add the remaining number of games of the AT in the state where it is controlled by the AT. It is determined. If the AT is won in the internal lottery, it is subsequently controlled by the AT, and if the additional number of games remaining in the AT is won, the number of winning games is added to the number of remaining games in the AT.

Further, in the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not to control the CT in a state where the CT is not controlled. It is decided to control to CT in the internal lottery, and if a specific combination wins, it will be controlled to CT. Further, the CT ends when a predetermined number of medals are paid out or when BB or RB is established. The CT may be terminated when the specified number of games is exhausted.

Next, the stop control of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R will be described. Here, the stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R in the state where the gaming state is not CT will be described. The stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R when the gaming state is CT will be described later.

The main control unit 41 inputs the winning number, the table index stored in the ROM 41b, and the table creation data when the reel starts to rotate and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating remains. Refer to it and create a stop control table for each spinning reel. Then, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected among the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to, and the referenced stop control table is slipped. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R.

In this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is set as the number of sliding frames, and when the gaming state is not CT, it is possible to pull in a maximum of 4 symbols to stop the reel after detecting the stop operation. is there. That is, the stop position of the symbol can be specified from a range of up to 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. Further, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to pull in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation to stop the reel, and stop when the stop operation is detected. It is possible to specify the stop position of a symbol from a range of up to 5 symbols including the operation position.

In this embodiment, when the game state is not CT and one of the winning combinations is won, when the stop operation is performed, a maximum of 4 frames are won on the winning line. If the winning combinations can be aligned and stopped, the control is performed to align and stop the winning combinations, and the winning combinations are controlled to be stopped without being aligned within the pull-in range of a maximum of 4 frames. If the special role and the small role are won at the same time, such as when the special role is carried over from before the previous game and the small role is won, the maximum on the winning line is when the stop operation is performed. If the winning small wins can be aligned and stopped within the pull-in range of 4 frames, the control is performed to align and stop the small wins that have been won within the pull-in range of up to 4 frames on the winning line. If it is not possible to draw in, if it is possible to align and stop the winning special roles in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, control is performed to align and stop them, and the winning combination is Control is performed so that the four frames are stopped without being aligned within the pull-in range. That is, in such a case, the control of aligning the small winning combination on the winning line is prioritized over the special winning combination, and the special winning combination can be won only when the small winning combination cannot be drawn in. If the special role and the small role can be drawn in at the same time, only the small role will be drawn in, and the small role will not be aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special role. In addition, when a special role and a small role are won at the same time, the control to align the special role on the winning line is prioritized over the small role, and only when the special role cannot be drawn in, the small role is placed on the winning line. Alignment control may be performed.

Further, in this embodiment, when the special role and the re-game combination are won at the same time, such as when the special role is carried over from before the previous game and the re-game combination is won, the stop operation is performed. At that time, control is performed so that the symbols of the re-game combination are aligned and stopped within a pull-in range of up to 4 frames on the winning line. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-game combination or the symbols constituting the re-game combination to be elected at the same time are arranged within 5 symbols, that is, within 4 frames for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the pull-in range of 4 frames, if the special role and the re-game combination are won at the same time, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player. Instead, all the re-game roles will be awarded. That is, in such a case, the control of aligning the re-game combination on the winning line is prioritized over the special combination, and the re-game combination is sure to win the prize. If the special role and the re-game role can be drawn in at the same time, only the re-game role will be drawn in, and the special role will not be aligned on the winning line at the same time as the re-game role.

In this embodiment, the reel stop control is performed using a stop control table that can specify the number of slip frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. However, the stop position that can specify the stop position can be specified. A configuration that specifies the stop position from the table and stops the reel at the specified stop position, and searches for a stop position that can be stopped at the timing when the stop operation is performed without using the stop control table or stop position table. A configuration that performs stop control to specify and stop the reel at the specified stop position, stop control using the stop control table, stop control using the stop position table, and stop without using the stop control table or stop position table. A configuration in which stop control by searching and specifying a stop position may be used together, or a configuration in which a stop control table or a stop position table is partially changed to perform stop control may be used.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the time when the rotation of the reel is started after the start of the game, that is, the time when the rotation of the reel is started. After the end of one game, a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is performed with the game start operation enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game starts. If the game time at which the counting is started from the time point is equal to or longer than the specified time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the specified time has elapsed from the start time of reel rotation of the previous game, no wait is generated. At that point, the rotation of the reel for the game in the game is started. On the other hand, after the end of one game, a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is performed with the game start operation enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game starts. If the game time at which timing is started from that point is less than the specified time, that is, if the specified time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation in the previous game, a wait is generated and the reel rotation is started at that point. Instead, the game waits until the game time at which timing is started from the start of reel rotation of the previous game reaches the specified time, and when the specified time is reached, the rotation of the reel is started.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls to output an external output signal indicating a gaming state, an error occurrence status, and the like. These external output signals are output to hall equipment such as a hall computer via an information providing terminal board of a game store (hall) in which the external output board 1000 and the slot machine 1 are installed.

The main control unit 41 has a medal IN signal indicating the number of medals used for setting the number of bets, a medal OUT signal indicating the number of medals given to the player due to the occurrence of a prize, and a gaming state of RB (regular bonus). An RB signal indicating that the game is in progress, a BB signal indicating that the game state is in BB (big bonus), an AT signal indicating the start of AT described later, a CT signal indicating the start of CT, and the front door 1b being open. A door opening signal indicating that the hopper unit 34 is abnormal, a setting change signal indicating that the mode has been changed to the setting change mode described later, an insertion error signal indicating an abnormality of the medal selector, and a payout error signal indicating an abnormality of the hopper unit 34 are output.

The external output board 1000 is provided with a relay circuit, a parallel / serial conversion circuit, terminals for each output signal, and a connector to be connected for electrically connecting to the circuit of the information providing terminal board. Of the signals output from the game control board 40, the medal IN signal, the medal OUT signal, the RB signal, the BB signal, the AT signal, and the CT signal are directly sent to the information providing terminal board as pulse signals via the relay circuit. It is output. On the other hand, the door open signal, the setting change signal, the input error signal, and the payout error signal are converted into a security signal which is a serial signal that can be individually identified by the parallel serial conversion circuit to provide information. It is output to the terminal board.

Next, a command transmitted by the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 gives the sub control unit 91 a number of input commands, a credit command, a game state command, an AT state command, a CT state command, an internal winning command, a push order command, and a reel acceleration information command. , Acceleration completion command, stop operation command, number of slip frames command, stop command, game end command, winning judgment command, payout start command, payout end command, standby command, stop command, error command, return command, setting command, Send multiple types of commands, including setting confirmation commands and door commands.

The CT status command is a command that can specify whether or not CT is in progress, the number of games remaining in CT, and the like, and is transmitted after the AT status command.

The internal winning command is a command that can specify the internal lottery result, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game and after the CT status command. The internal winning command includes a first internal winning command that can specify whether or not a special combination has been won, and a second internal winning command that can specify whether or not a general combination has been won. After the first internal winning command is transmitted, the second internal winning command is transmitted.

The push order command is a command that can specify the stop order, and is a stop when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game, after the internal winning command is transmitted, and due to the stop operation of each reel. Each time control is performed, it is sent after the stop command is sent. In a game in which the navigation notification described later is executed, a push order command capable of specifying a stop order advantageous to the player is transmitted from the start of the game, and in a game in which the navigation notification described later is not executed, an advantageous stop is performed. A push order command that cannot specify the stop order that is advantageous to the player is transmitted until the order is confirmed, and a push order command that can specify the stop order that is advantageous to the player is transmitted from the time when the advantageous stop order is determined. To.

The game state command, AT state command, CT state command, and internal winning command are transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts. Therefore, by receiving these commands, the start switch 7 is operated. It is possible to identify that the game has started.

The reel acceleration information command is a command that can specify that the reel rotation starts as the game progresses, and is transmitted when the reel rotation starts as the game progresses.

The acceleration completion command is a command that can specify that the acceleration of the reel accompanying the start of the game is completed, and after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started when the game is started, all of them are first performed. It is transmitted when the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate at a constant speed.

The stop operation command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, or the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel, and is used for the stop operation of each reel. It is transmitted every time the accompanying stop control is performed.

The slide frame number command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and the number of slide frames that move from the stop operation of the corresponding reel to the stop. Therefore, each time the stop control associated with the stop operation of each reel is performed, the corresponding stop operation command is transmitted and then transmitted.

The stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, or the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel, and is a stop control associated with the stop operation of each reel. Is sent after the corresponding slip frame count command is sent each time.

The stop operation command, the number of sliding frames command, and the stop command can all specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and are accompanied by the stop operation of each reel. Since it is transmitted every time the stop control is performed, it is possible to specify that the stop operation of any of the reels has been performed and the reel to be stopped by receiving these commands.

The game end command is a command that can specify that the game has ended, and is transmitted when the player presses the stop switch to stop the third stop reel and releases the stop switch.

The winning judgment command is a command that can specify whether or not there is a winning, the combination of symbols aligned on the winning line LN, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning, so that the player stops the third stop reel. It is when the stop switch is pressed and the stop switch is released, and is transmitted after the game end command is transmitted.

Both the game end command and the winning judgment command are transmitted when the player presses the stop switch to stop the third stop reel and releases the stop switch. Therefore, by receiving these commands, It is possible to identify that all the operations necessary for advancing one game have been completed.

The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning a prize or settlement of credits (including the medal used for setting the number of bets) is started. In addition, the payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning a prize and settlement of credits is completed.

The standby command is a command indicating that the game shifts to the standby state, and when the game shifts to the standby state after the estimated end time (60 seconds in this embodiment) elapses without setting the number of bets after one game ends, credits It is sent after the payout of medals by settlement (including the medal used to set the number of bets) is completed and the payout end command is sent.

The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and when the ending effect waiting time elapses after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error state and the type of error state. When an error is determined and controlled to an error state, an error command indicating the occurrence of an error state and its type is sent and reset. When the operation is performed and the error state is cleared, an error command indicating the error state is cleared is sent.

The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before the power failure, and is transmitted when the main control unit 41 returns to the control state before the power failure.

The setting command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. When the setting change state is entered, the setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is sent, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is sent. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it is possible to specify that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by the setting command indicating the start of the setting. ..

The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. When the setting confirmation state is entered, the setting confirmation command that indicates the start of the setting confirmation is sent, and the setting that indicates the end of the setting confirmation is sent when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

The door command is a command indicating the detection state of the door open detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state), and is the number of bets for the next game when the power is turned on and when one game ends (after the game ends). Is transmitted when the detection state of the door open detection switch 25 changes (from on to off, from off to on).

These commands are generated in the main process or the timer interrupt process (main), are temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and are transmitted in the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main).

Next, the effect control executed by the sub control unit 91 based on the command transmitted by the main control unit 41 to the effect control board 90 will be described. When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

In the timer interrupt processing (sub), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer, and if an unprocessed command is stored, the earliest of them. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the step, and the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speaker 53, 54, the reel LED 55, etc. are referred to based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. Controls the output of various production devices. In the control pattern table, for each of a plurality of types of effect patterns, a display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, a lighting mode of the effect LED 52, an output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, a lighting mode of the reel LED 55, etc. The control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the sub-control unit 91 of the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among them, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the effect device is performed based on the control pattern. As a result, the effect according to the effect pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

If the sub-control unit 91 receives a new command during the execution of the effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub-control unit 91 stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed and uses the newly received command. An effect based on the corresponding control pattern is executed. That is, even if the production is not completed to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new production is performed unless the new command received is not the command that triggers the new production. The effect based on the command will be executed.

When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives the internal winning command, it is stored in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. The registered selection rate is referred to, one of the effect patterns is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game. Therefore, even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received, and as a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 has a notification period during which navigation notification can be executed to notify the stop order that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result by the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. It is possible to control the assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT).

When the main control unit 41 is controlled by the AT, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification by winning the navigation target combination according to the game state, and the player is based on the winning number of the winning navigation notification combination. By notifying the stop order that is advantageous to the sub-control unit 91 and transmitting a push order command that can specify the stop order that is advantageous to the player based on the winning number to the sub-control unit 91, the liquid crystal display 51 and the like. The navigation effect using is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute the navigation notification and execute the navigation effect by satisfying certain conditions even in the normal state not controlled by the AT.

FIG. 6 is an address map of the memory area used by the main control unit 41. As shown in FIG. 6, the memory area used by the main control unit 41 includes a memory area (0000H to 7FFFH) allocated to the ROM 41b and a memory area (F000H to FFFFH) allocated to the RAM 41c.

The memory area of the ROM 41b includes a program / data area (0000H to 26FFH) in which a program and fixed data are stored, a ROM comment area (2700H to 277FH) in which arbitrary data such as a program title and version can be set, and a later description. Vector table area (2780H to 27A7H) where the upper address of the subroutine of the CALLV instruction and the start address of the timer interrupt processing (main) are set, and parameters for setting the internal functions of the main control unit 41 in terms of hardware. Includes an HW parameter area (27A8H to 27FFH) in which is set and an unused area (2800H to 7FFFH) where access is prohibited.

The parameters set in the HW parameter area in the ROM 41b include the final address (HPRGEND) of the ROM area used in the program / data area, the start address (HRAMSTAT) and the final address (HRAMEND) of the RAM area for which access is prohibited.

The memory area of the RAM 41c is an internal function register area (F4B0H to F4B0H) in which a usable area (F000H to F400H) that can be used as a work and a register group for controlling each function mounted on the main control unit 41 are stored. F6FFH) and unused areas (F401H to F4AFH, F700H to FFFFH) whose access is prohibited.

FIG. 7 is an address map of the program / data area in the ROM 41b of the main control unit 41 and the usable area in the RAM 41c.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the program / data area in the ROM 41b includes a game program area in which a game program related to the progress of the game is stored, a game data area in which game data used by the game program is stored, and a game data area in which the game data used by the game program is stored. It includes a used area 1, a non-game program area in which a non-game program not related to the progress of a game is stored, a non-game data area in which non-game data used by the non-game program is stored, and an unused area 2. ..

The progress of the game is to proceed with a series of processes constituting the game, and if it is a slot machine, the stage where the number of bets is set and the game can be started, the game is started and the reels are rotated. The stage of causing the reel to be stopped, the stage of deriving the display result, and the stage of giving the value of a medal or the like according to the display result are advanced.

The game program area related to the progress of the game and the non-game program not related to the progress of the game are separately allocated, and are allocated rearward in the storage area of ROM 41b among the game program area and the non-program area. Since an unused area 1 of at least 16 bytes or more is allocated to the area in front of the non-programmed area, a game program area related to the progress of the game and a non-game program not related to the progress of the game are stored in the storage area. It can be easily identified according to the difference between the two.

Further, the game program area and the game data area, and the non-game program area and the non-game data area are allotted to continuous areas, while the game program area and the game data area related to the progress of the game and the non-game area not related to the progress of the game. Since the game program and the non-game data area are allocated to areas that are not continuous with an unused area 1 of at least 16 bytes or more in between, the game program area and the game data area related to the progress of the game and the progress of the game The non-game program and the non-game data area, which are not involved, can be easily specified according to the difference in the storage area.

In the above, the front and back of the storage area are the magnitude relations of the address values assigned to the storage area, and the smaller address is the front and the larger address is the rear. Therefore, the storage area allocated after the one storage area corresponds to the storage area having an address value larger than that of the one storage area, and the storage area allocated before the one storage area. , A storage area whose address value is smaller than that of one storage area is applicable.

Further, the game program may be allocated behind the non-game program area, and the unused area may be allocated in front of the game program allocated behind the non-game program area. A game program area related to the progress of the game and a non-game program not related to the progress of the game can be easily specified according to the difference in the storage area.

Further, the game program area and the non-game program area may be allocated to adjacent areas with the unused area 1 in between, and even with such a configuration, the game program area related to the progress of the game , A non-game program that is not related to the progress of the game can be easily identified according to the difference in the storage area.

Further, since 0 values are stored in all the unused areas 1 and 2 of the program / data area of the ROM 41b, the game program area and the game data area, the non-game program area and the non-game data, The unused areas 1 and 2 can be easily distinguished, and even when invalid data is stored in the unused areas 1 and 2, it can be easily found.

It should be noted that 1 may be stored in all the unused areas 1 and 2 of the program / data area of the ROM 41b, and even in such a configuration, the game program area, the game data area, and the non-game The program area and non-game data can be easily distinguished from the unused areas 1 and 2, and even when invalid data is stored in the unused areas 1 and 2, it can be easily found. ..

Further, if the game program area and the non-game program area are allocated to separate areas, the game program area and the non-game program area may be allocated to adjacent areas. Even with such a configuration, the game program area related to the progress of the game and the non-game program not related to the progress of the game can be easily specified according to the difference in the storage area.

Further, both the game program area and the non-game program area start from an address (0H) in which the lower four digits have the same value when the address is expressed in binary, and the program / data area of ROM 41b. Of these, the game program area related to the progress of the game and the non-game program area not related to the progress of the game can be easily distinguished from other areas.

In addition, both the game program area and the non-game program area not only start from an address having the same 0 in the lower 4 digits when the address is expressed in binary, but also the value in the lower 1 digit when the address is expressed in hexadecimal. Starts from the same 0 address (0H), so the game program area and the non-game program area can be easily distinguished from other areas not only when the address is expressed in binary not only but also when it is expressed in hexadecimal. can do.

In both the game program area and the non-game program area, regardless of whether the address is expressed in binary or hexadecimal, the lower N (N is a natural number of 1 or more) starts from the address having the same value. The game program area and the non-game program area can be easily distinguished from other areas. For example, the value of the lower N (N is a natural number of 1 or more) digits is the same 1. The same effect can be obtained with a configuration starting from the address of.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the usable area of the RAM 41c includes a game RAM area used as a work by the game program, a non-game RAM area used by the non-game program as a work, and an unused area 4. The game RAM area includes a special work, an important work, a general work, an unused area 3, and a game stack area in which the game program saves data, and the non-game RAM area includes a game. An area that can be referred to by the program, an area that cannot be referred to by the game program, and a non-game stack area in which the non-game program saves data are included. In this embodiment, the game stack area and the non-game stack area are individually provided in different areas, but a single stack area shared by the game program and the non-game program may be provided.

The unused area 3 is an area in which neither the game program nor the non-game program is used, and is an area that is surplus with respect to the game RAM area having a predetermined capacity.

Further, the unused area 4 is an area of 16 bytes or more in which neither the game program nor the non-game program is used. Since the game RAM area and the non-game RAM area are allocated to areas that are not continuous with the unused area 4 in between, the game RAM area used by the game program related to the progress of the game and the non-game RAM area not related to the progress of the game The non-game RAM area used by the game program and the non-game RAM area can be easily specified according to the difference in the storage area.

In the following, the game program area, the game data area, and the game RAM area may be collectively referred to as a game area, and the non-game program area, the non-game data area, and the non-game RAM area may be collectively referred to as a non-game area. .. Further, the unused area 1, the unused area 2, the unused area 3 and the unused area 4 may be collectively referred to as an unused area.

Based on the parameters set in the HW parameter area, the main control unit 41 permits access to the available area of the RAM 41c when the access is prohibited from the program / data area of the ROM 41b. When there is an access to an area that is not set to, when there is an access to an area other than the program / data area in the ROM 41b, or when there is an access to an area other than the usable area in the RAM 41c. That is, since the progress of the game is disabled by generating an illegal access reset when there is an access to a memory area that is not accessed in normal operation, an area that is not related to the unused area or operation of the ROM 41b. Even when an illegal program is stored in an unused area of the RAM 41c, it is possible to prevent the illegal program from being executed.

In particular, in this embodiment, the game program area and the non-game program area are allocated to the program / data area of the ROM 41b that is permitted to be accessed by the program, and the game program area is assigned to the front of the non-game program area behind the game program area. An unused area 1 is allocated to the area, and a group of programs / data areas including an area from the start address of the game program area to the final address of the non-game program based on the parameters set in the HW parameter area. While the access to the area (the area from the game program area to the non-game data area) is collectively set to allow, the other areas, that is, the game program, the game data, and the non-game program among the program / data areas, Since access to the area after the non-game data in which the non-game data is not stored is prohibited, it is possible to prevent unintended control by a malicious program or illegal data.

Further, in the program / data area of the ROM 41b that is permitted to be accessed by the program, the game area is allocated behind the non-game program area, and the unused area is in front of the game program area behind the non-game program area. Is assigned, and access to a group of areas including the area from the start address of the non-game program area to the final address of the game program in the program / data area is collectively based on the parameters set in the HW parameter area. Even if access to other areas is prohibited while setting the permission, it is possible to prevent unintended control by malicious programs and malicious data.

A game program area and a non-game program area are allocated to the program / data area, and an unused area 1 is allocated to an area behind the game program area and before the non-game program area, and the program / data. Of the areas, to a group of areas including the game program area (area from the game program area to the game data area) and to a group of areas including the non-game program (area from the non-game program area to the non-game data area). Access may be set to allow each and access to other areas may be prohibited. Even with such a configuration, the program / data area to the area where the game program or non-game program is not stored Since access to the data is prohibited, it is possible to prevent unintended control by malicious programs and malicious data. Further, in the program / data area of the ROM 41b that is permitted to be accessed by the program, the game area is allocated behind the non-game program area, and the unused area is in front of the game program area behind the non-game program area. Is assigned, and a group of areas including the game program area (the area from the game program area to the game data area) and a group of areas including the non-game program (from the non-game program area to the non-game area) in the program / data area. Access to each of the areas up to the data area) may be set to allow and access to other areas may be prohibited. Even with such a configuration, game programs and non-games in the program / data area may be set. Since access to the area where the program is not stored is prohibited, it is possible to prevent unintended control by malicious programs and malicious data.

Further, in the above, the configuration is such that the area itself that allows access in the program / data area is set, but by setting the area that prohibits access in the program / data area, the area that indirectly permits access is set. It may be configured to be performed.

The main control unit 41 determines that the user program is executed when the user program is executed in an area other than the designated area where the program running is permitted, that is, in normal operation, based on the parameters set in the HW parameter area. When the user program is executed in a non-existing area, the IAT circuit 506a outputs an IAT generation signal to disable the progress of the game. Therefore, the unused area of the ROM 41b, the area unrelated to the operation, and the RAM 41c are not yet used. Even when an illegal program is stored in the used area or the like, it is possible to prevent the illegal program from being executed.

In particular, in this embodiment, the game program area and the non-game program area are allocated to the program / data area of the ROM 41b that is permitted to be accessed by the program, and the game program area is assigned to the front of the non-game program area behind the game program area. The unused area 1 is assigned to the area, and the IAT circuit 506a permits the program running for each of the game program area and the non-game program area in the program / data area based on the parameters set in the HW parameter area. While it is set as a designated area, program running is prohibited in other areas, that is, in the program / data area where game programs and non-game programs are not stored, so it is not intended due to malicious programs or illegal data. It is possible to prevent control from being performed.

Further, in the program / data area of the ROM 41b that is permitted to be accessed by the program, the game area is allocated behind the non-game program area, and the unused area is in front of the game program area behind the non-game program area. Is assigned, and based on the parameters set in the HW parameter area, the IAT circuit 506a sets each of the game program area and the non-game program area of the program / data area as designated areas for permitting program running. Therefore, even if the program running in other areas is prohibited, it is possible to prevent unintended control due to an illegal program or illegal data.

A game program area and a non-game program area are allocated to the program / data area, and an unused area 1 is allocated to an area behind the game program area and before the non-game program area, and an HW parameter area. A group of areas including the area from the start address of the game program area to the final address of the non-game program in the program / data area based on the parameters set in (the area from the game program area to the non-game data area). The IAT circuit 506a may be collectively set as a designated area for permitting program running, and program running in other areas may be prohibited. Even in such a configuration, the program / data area may be configured. Since the program running in the area where the game program and the non-game program are not stored is prohibited, it is possible to prevent unintended control by the malicious program or the illegal data. Further, in the program / data area of the ROM 41b that is permitted to be accessed by the program, the game area is allocated behind the non-game program area, and the unused area is in front of the game program area behind the non-game program area. Is assigned, and based on the parameters set in the HW parameter area, a group of areas (from the game program area) including the area from the start address of the non-game program area to the final address of the game program in the program / data area. Even if the IAT circuit 506a collectively sets the area up to the non-game data area as a designated area that allows program running and program running in other areas is prohibited, it is due to an illegal program or illegal data. It is possible to prevent unintended control from being performed.

Further, in the above, the area itself that allows the program running is set in the program / data area, but the program running is indirectly permitted by setting the area that prohibits the program running in the program / data area. The configuration may be such that an area is set.

The program executed by the main control unit 41 includes a main routine that manages the progress of the entire program and a subroutine that is called during the execution of another program.

Further, a CALL instruction is included as an instruction for causing the main control unit 41 to execute the program stored in the program / data area.

The CALL instruction is an instruction that calls and executes a subroutine stored at an address specified in the main routine or the subroutine. When the subroutine is called by the CALL instruction, the main control unit 41 stores the address of the caller in the stack area, and calls and executes the subroutine stored in the designated address. Then, after the subroutine is completed, the address of the caller stored in the stack area, that is, the program of the main routine or the subroutine of the caller who executed the CALL instruction is returned.

Further, the CALL instruction includes a normal CALL instruction and a CALLV instruction which is a special CALL instruction. The normal CALL instruction is an instruction that calls a subroutine by specifying both the upper address and the lower address and specifying the address by the specified upper address and lower address, whereas the CALLV instruction only uses the lower address. By specifying, it is an instruction to specify the address by the upper address set in advance and the specified lower address in the vector table area of ROM41b and call the subroutine, and the subroutine can be called with a smaller amount of data than the normal CALL instruction. It becomes possible to call.

The RST instruction is an instruction to call and execute a subroutine stored in a specific address corresponding to a specified value by designating a value corresponding to a plurality of predetermined specific addresses, and is an instruction to execute the above-mentioned ordinary CALL. It is possible to call a subroutine with a smaller amount of data than an instruction or a CALLV instruction. When the subroutine is called by the RST instruction, the main control unit 41 stores the address of the caller in the stack area, and calls and executes the subroutine stored in the specific address corresponding to the specified value. Then, after the subroutine is completed, the address of the caller stored in the stack area, that is, the main routine or subroutine of the caller who executed the RST instruction is returned.

A jump instruction is an instruction to move to a program stored at an address specified in a main routine or a subroutine. The main control unit 41 moves to the program stored at the address specified by the jump instruction, and executes the destination program. In this case, unlike the CALL instruction and the RST instruction, the program does not return to the source program even if the program after the transfer ends.

Of the game programs stored in the ROM 41b, the frequently used subroutines are stored in the game program area of the ROM 41b where the start address is a specific value (for example, 00H). On the other hand, in the vector table area of the ROM 41b, a specific value is set as the upper address of the subroutine called by the CALLV instruction. Then, when the main control unit 41 calls a subroutine in which the upper address of the start address is a specific value, the main control unit 41 uses the CALLV instruction to specify only the lower address, thereby setting the specific value set in the vector table area as the upper address. Specify, specify the lower address specified as the lower address, and call and execute the subroutine stored in the address that combines the upper and lower levels. For this reason, the upper addresses that form part of the addresses used when calling the subroutines that are used particularly frequently in the game program are set in advance as specific values in the vector table, and are based on the specific values set in the vector table. Because the address is specified, it is possible to call a subroutine with a smaller amount of data than a normal CALL instruction that calls a program by specifying both the upper address and the lower address, and when calling these subroutines. It is possible to reduce the waste of the program for specifying the address.

In this embodiment, the head of the subroutine of the game program is stored in the vector table area of the ROM 41b used by the CALLV instruction and the specific address area of the ROM 41b used by the RST instruction, and the CALLV instruction and the RST instruction are usually used. Since it is possible to call a subroutine with a smaller amount of data than the CALL instruction of the above, the data capacity of the game program can be reduced by using the CALLV instruction and the RST instruction in the game program. There is. Further, the head of the subroutine of the game program is stored in the vector table area of the ROM 41b and the area of the specific address, and the head of the non-game program is not stored. The non-game program is stored by the CALLV instruction and the RST instruction. Is called, and it does not hinder the reduction of the data capacity of the game program.

The subroutines that are particularly frequently used among the non-game programs stored in the ROM 41b are stored in the non-game program area of the ROM 41b where the start address is a specific value, and the CALLV instruction is given in the vector table area of the ROM 41b. By setting a specific value as the upper address of the subroutine to be called in, and when the main control unit 41 calls the subroutine in which the upper address of the start address is the specific value, these subroutines are specified by using the CALLV instruction to specify only the lower address. Even if the configuration is such that the program is called and executed, it is possible to call the subroutine with a smaller amount of data than the normal CALL instruction that calls the program by specifying both the upper address and the lower address, and these subroutines can be called. It is possible to reduce the waste of the program for specifying the address when calling.

Further, the upper address used when calling by the CALLV instruction may be set to a specific register of the main control unit 41 instead of the vector table area.

Further, not limited to the CALLV instruction, a part of the address is specified by using the value stored in the vector table area, the value set in the specific register, etc., and the subroutine is specified by specifying the remaining part of the address. If the configuration uses a special CALL instruction that enables the storage address of the subroutine to be specified, it is possible to reduce the waste of the program for specifying the address when calling the subroutine. In addition, identification values with a smaller amount of data than the addresses are assigned to each of the multiple areas that make up the vector table area, and the storage addresses of the subroutines are set in each of these multiple areas, and the identification values are specified to identify them. Even with a configuration that uses a special CALL instruction that makes it possible to specify the storage address of the subroutine stored in the area corresponding to the value, it is possible to reduce the waste of the program for specifying the address when calling the subroutine. ..

Further, the game data that is particularly frequently used among the game data stored in the ROM 41b is stored in the area where the start address is a specific value in the game data area of the ROM 41b, and a special LD is stored in the vector table area of the ROM 41b. By setting a specific value as the upper address of the data to be read by the command, and when the main control unit 41 calls the game data in which the upper address of the start address is the specific value, only the lower address is specified by using a special LD command. , Even if the configuration is such that these game data are read, it is possible to call the game data with a smaller amount of data as compared with the normal LD instruction that reads data by specifying both the upper address and the lower address. It is possible to reduce the waste of the program for specifying the address when reading the game data of.

In addition, the non-game data that is particularly frequently used among the non-game data stored in the ROM 41b is stored in the non-game data area of the ROM 41b where the start address is a specific value, and is stored in the vector table area of the ROM 41b. When a specific value is set as the upper address of the data to be read by the special LD instruction and the main control unit 41 calls the non-game data in which the upper address of the start address is the specific value, only the lower address is used by the special LD instruction. By specifying, even if the configuration is such that these non-game data are read, the non-game data is called with a smaller amount of data than the normal LD instruction that reads data by specifying both the upper address and the lower address. This makes it possible to reduce the waste of the program for specifying an address when reading these non-game data.

The main control unit 41 is activated when a system reset by inputting a system reset signal, a WDT reset by WDT506b, and the above-mentioned illegal access reset occur. At this time, the value set in the vector table area, that is, The upper address of the subroutine of the CALLV instruction and the start address of the timer interrupt process (main) are values indicating the area of the program area in which the program or the like is actually stored, or FFFFH (in an unused vector table area). It is determined whether it is a value to be set), and if the value set in the vector table area is neither a value indicating outside the area set in the program nor FFFFH, it is not started. It is possible to prevent in advance that an unintended process is executed due to an interruption or the like.

The main control unit 41 includes an LD instruction as an instruction to read data stored in the program / data area. The LD instruction is an instruction to read the data stored at the address specified in the main routine or the subroutine into the specified register. The main control unit 41 reads the data stored at the address specified by the LD instruction, and stores the read data in the register specified by the LD instruction.

Further, the LD instruction includes a normal LD instruction and an LDQ instruction which is a special LD instruction. The normal LD instruction is an instruction to read the data stored in the specific area of the ROM 41b or the RAM 41c by the specified upper address and lower address by designating both the upper address and the lower address, whereas the LDQ instruction is an instruction. By specifying only the lower address, the address is specified by the upper address preset in the special register (Q register) in the internal function register area of the RAM 41c and the specified lower address, and the ROM 41b or the RAM 41c It is an instruction to read the data stored in a specific area and store the read data in a specified register, and it is possible to store a predetermined data in a predetermined register with a smaller amount of data than a normal LD instruction. It will be possible.

When reading the data stored in the specific area of ROM 41b and RAM 41c in the main routine or subroutine, by using the LDQ instruction which is a special LD instruction, all the addresses (upper part and lower part) indicating the specific area can be obtained. It is possible to read the data in a specific area by specifying only the lower part of the address instead of specifying it. By using the LDQ instruction, it is possible to read data with a smaller amount of data than the normal LD instruction that reads data by specifying both the upper address and the lower address, and the address is specified when reading the data. It is possible to reduce the waste of the program for doing so.

In addition, the game data that is particularly frequently used among the game data stored in the game RAM area of the RAM 41c is stored in the area of the game RAM area where the start address is a specific value, and the specific value is stored in a special register ( When the game data is set as the upper address of the game data in the Q register) and the main control unit 41 reads the game data, only the lower address is specified by using the LDQ command to read the game data. A program for specifying an address when reading game data, which makes it possible to read game data with a smaller amount of data than a normal LD command that reads data by specifying both an address and a lower address. Waste can be reduced.

Further, the main control unit 41 can change the value set in the special register (Q register) in the main routine or the subroutine, and the built-in register in the initial setting process performed at the time of startup as described later. In the setting, a specific value indicating the start address of the game data frequently used by the game program is set in a special register (Q register). Also, when calling a non-game program from a game program, the value set in a special register (Q register) is saved, and when returning to the game program, the value set in a special register (Q register) is saved. It is set to the value that was set again. As a result, when the game program is being executed, a specific value indicating the start address of the game data frequently used by the game program is set in a special register (Q register), and the game program is set. Frequently used game data can be read by using the LDQ instruction.

It should be noted that the upper address used when reading with the LDQ instruction as a special LD instruction may be set in a predetermined storage area other than the special register (for example, Q register), for example, the vector table area, and the vector table area may be set. A special LD instruction is used in which a part of the address is specified using the value stored in a predetermined storage area such as, and the data storage address can be specified by specifying the remaining part of the address by a program. With the configuration, it is possible to reduce the waste of the program for specifying the address when reading the data. Further, for example, by assigning an identification value having a data amount smaller than the address to each of the plurality of areas constituting the vector table area, setting the data storage address in each of these plurality of areas, and specifying the identification value. , Even in a configuration that uses a special LD instruction that makes it possible to specify the storage address of the data stored in the area corresponding to the identification value, reduce the waste of the program for specifying the address when reading the data. Can be done.

Further, in this embodiment, the Q register is configured to store the same value as the value used in the specific program as the specific value, but it may be configured to store a value different from the value used in the specific program. For example, when a non-special program is called, a value different from the value used in the specific program as a specific value in the Q register, and the value of the start address of the storage area in which frequently used data in the non-game program is stored. The data capacity of the non-specific program can be reduced by storing the data and using the LDQ instruction when calling the data in the non-specific program.

The game program is a program related to the progress of the game, and is a program for executing a process that hinders the progress of the game unless the process based on the program is executed. On the other hand, the non-game program is a program that is not related to the progress of the game, and even if it is called from the game program and returns to the game program without executing the process based on the program, the game can be progressed. It is a program for executing processing.

As shown in FIG. 8, the game program includes a game-dedicated program included only in the game program, and a common determination program and a common general-purpose program included in both the game program and the non-game program.

The game-dedicated program includes, for example, a game start waiting process, an internal lottery process, a reel control process, a game end setting process, an external output 1 process, an initial setting process, a power failure process, and an error process. In the game start waiting process, after the control of one game is completed, the number of bets is set by inserting medals, etc., and after the specified number of bets is set, the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. The internal lottery process is a process of performing an internal lottery and setting a winning flag, etc., and the reel control process is a process of starting the rotation of the reel and operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. This is a process for stopping the reel with, and the game end setting process determines whether or not a prize has been generated according to the stop position of the stopped reel, and pays out medals, sets the re-game, and sets the game state. The external output 1 process is a process for performing output control of a medal IN signal, a medal OUT signal, an RB signal, a BB signal, and an RT signal among external output signals. , The initial setting process is a process for making the game possible when the power is turned on (backup abnormality confirmation, register initialization, etc.), and the power failure process is the state before the power failure after the power failure occurs. This is a process for recovering, and the error processing includes various abnormalities (medal insertion abnormality, foreign matter detection in the medal selector 29, reel rotation abnormality, medal payout abnormality, foreign matter detection near the payout exit, RAM abnormality). This is a process for disabling the game when an abnormality in the set value, an empty hopper tank 34a, a full tank detection of the overflow tank 35, etc. are detected. Further, although not particularly shown, the game program also includes the above-mentioned processing related to AT (control related to lottery related to AT, control related to navigation notification, etc.) and processing related to CT.

The common determination program in the game program includes, for example, input determination processing and payout determination processing. The insertion determination process is a process of determining whether or not the medal has passed normally by the insertion medal sensor 31, and is a process executed in a state where medals can be inserted for setting the number of bets and the like. The payout determination process is a process of determining whether or not the medal has passed normally by the payout sensor 34c, and is a process executed in a state where the medal payout is permitted at the time of winning a small winning combination or at the time of credit settlement. Is.

The common general-purpose program in the game program is a process called and executed from a plurality of types of processes constituting the game program. For example, counter update process, port input process, data conversion process, LED display process, data setting process, etc. Includes command setting processing. The counter update process is a process for updating the specified counter value, the port input process is a process for acquiring the input state of the specified port, and the data conversion process is input using game data. It is a process of converting and outputting the data, the LED display process is a process of setting to display the specified value on the LED, and the data setting process is a process of setting the specified data. The command setting process is a process of setting a specified command in the command queue.

In particular, when an abnormality is detected as described above, the game program resets the setting value according to the type of abnormality (random number abnormality, RAM abnormality, backup abnormality, setting value abnormality, and resets it. In the case of an abnormality other than the above, it includes error processing that disables the progress of the game until the reset operation) is established.

In the game program, with respect to the above-mentioned CALL instruction and LD instruction, any instruction including a CALLV instruction which is a special CALL instruction, an RST instruction, and an LDQ instruction which is a special LD instruction may be used, and a special CALL instruction may be used. It is possible to specify the address by using the above and call the subroutine, or to read the specific game data and non-game data in the ROM 41b and the RAM 41c by using the special LD instruction.

As shown in FIG. 8, the non-game program includes a non-game dedicated program included only in the non-game program, and the same common determination program and common general-purpose program as the game program.

The non-game dedicated program includes, for example, test signal output processing, foreign matter detection processing, door monitoring processing, external output 2 processing, input medal error judgment processing, payout medal error judgment processing, power failure judgment processing, normal command transmission processing, and power failure. Includes time command transmission processing and game machine information display processing. The test signal output process is a process for outputting a test signal generated in connection with the result of the game, and the foreign matter detection process is a process for detecting a foreign matter in the medal passage by the slot sensor 26. The door monitoring process is a process for detecting the opening of the front door 1b, and the external output 2 process is a security signal (door opening signal, setting change signal, closing error signal, payout error signal) among the external output signals. This is a process for controlling the output, and the inserted medal error determination process detects the backflow of the inserted medal, the medal clogging detection in the medal selector 29, and the foreign matter detection in the medal selector 29 based on the detection status of the inserted medal sensor 31. The payout medal error determination process is a process for performing backflow detection of payout medals, medal clogging detection near the payout exit, and foreign matter detection near the payout exit based on the detection status of the payout sensor 34c. , The power failure determination process is a process for determining whether or not a voltage drop signal from the power failure detection circuit 48 is detected, and the normal command transmission process is a command setting of a game-dedicated program and a non-game-dedicated program. This is a process for transmitting the first command set in the command queue by the process to the sub-control unit 91, and the command transmission process at the time of power failure is set in the command queue. This is a process for transmitting all the existing commands to the sub-control unit 91, and the game machine information display process aggregates and calculates information about the slot machine 1 such as the advantageous section ratio described later, and uses the calculation result as the result. This is a process of displaying the based information on the game machine information display 50 mounted on the game control board 40.

The common general-purpose program in the non-game program is a process called and executed from a plurality of types of processes constituting the non-game program, and like the common general-purpose program in the game program, for example, counter update process, port input process, and so on. Includes data conversion processing, LED display processing, data setting processing, and command setting processing.

The non-game program includes a process of determining whether or not the detection status is a predetermined detection status based on the detection status of the detection means (input port sensor 26, full tank sensor 35a, door open detection switch 25) not related to the progress of the game.

In addition, the non-game program functions as a detection means related to the progress of the game in a specific control state among a plurality of control states (game start waiting process, internal lottery process, reel control process, game end setting process). In other control states, the detection means (for example, the insertion medal sensor 31 and the payout sensor 34c) that functions as the detection means that is not related to the progress of the game is based on the detection status in the control state that is not related to the progress of the game. Processing to determine whether or not it is in a predetermined detection status (for example, detection processing of inserted medals and detection processing of paid medals for detecting an abnormality caused by detection of insertion of medals during reel rotation or withdrawal of medals) Including. It should be noted that such a determination process corresponds to a common determination program because it is the same process as the process of determining whether or not the detection status is a predetermined detection status based on the detection status in the control state related to the progress of the game in the game program. ..

In the non-game program, the normal CALL instruction is used for the above-mentioned CALL instruction, while the CALLV instruction, which is a special CALL instruction, is not used, and the address is specified by using the ordinary CALL instruction. While the subroutine may be called, the subroutine is not called using a special CALL instruction, and the game program area in the ROM 41b is not accessed by the non-game program.

Further, in the non-game program, the normal LD instruction is used for the above-mentioned LD instruction, while the LDQ instruction, which is a special LD instruction, is not used, and the address is specified by using the ordinary LD instruction. While the predetermined data may be read out, the subroutine or data is not read out by using a special LD instruction.

Among the processes included in the game program, the number of medals to be paid out in the external output 1 process, the process of counting the number of medals inserted in the game start waiting process, the process of switching the flow path switching solenoid 30, and the process of setting at the end of the game. Directly to the progress of the game, such as counting, detecting that the hopper tank 34a is empty, updating software random numbers, AT-related processing, CT-related processing, internal winning command transmission processing, etc. All or part of these processes may be included in the non-game program as long as they are not related to each other. On the other hand, if the processes included in the non-game program are indirectly related to the progress of the game, all or part of these processes may be included in the game program.

As described above, in this embodiment, the head of the subroutine of the game program is stored in the vector table area of ROM 41b and the area of the specific address used by the CALLV instruction and the RST instruction which are special CALL instructions. It is possible to call a game program by using a special CALL instruction. When it is possible to call only the game program by the special CALL instruction in this way, the game program is called by the non-game program because the special CALL instruction is used by the non-game program, and the unintended game is played. There is a risk that the game data will be rewritten by the progress of the game or by an unintended game program. On the other hand, by calling the program by the normal CALL instruction instead of the special CALL instruction by the non-game program, the game program is unintentionally called by the game by not using the vector table area and the area of the specific address. It is possible to prevent the progress of.

Further, in this embodiment, the LDQ instruction, which is a special LD instruction, specifies a game RAM area using a specific value stored in a special register (Q register) and reads out predetermined game data. Although it is possible, when reading the game data by a special LD instruction, if the specific value of the special register (Q register) is damaged, the game RAM area cannot be specified normally. , There is a risk that unintended data will be read out. On the other hand, by reading the data by the normal LD instruction instead of the LDQ instruction which is a special LD instruction by the non-game program, even if the specific value is damaged when the game program is switched to the non-game program. Since the data is read by specifying the game RAM area from the non-game program, it is possible to prevent unintended data from being read.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the CPU 41a of the main control unit 41 calls the non-game program in the process based on the game program to execute the process based on the non-game program, and after the process based on the non-game program is completed. , Return to the process based on the game program.

As shown in FIG. 9, in principle, when executing the process based on the game program, the CPU 41a executes the process based on the game program with reference to the game data in the game data area, and uses the game RAM area as a work. , It is possible to refer to and update the contents of the game RAM area. Further, in principle, when executing the process based on the non-game program, the CPU 41a executes the process based on the non-game program with reference to the game data in the non-game data area, and uses the non-game RAM area as a work. It is possible to refer to and update the contents of the non-gaming RAM area.

Further, the CPU 41a does not refer to the non-game data area and does not update the non-game RAM area when executing the process based on the game program, but it is possible to refer to the non-game RAM area. , In executing the process based on the non-game program, the game data area is not referred to and the game RAM area is not updated, but the game RAM area can be referred to.

Further, the processing based on the game program can refer only to a specific area (for example, an error flag setting area indicating abnormality detection) required for the game program in the non-game RAM area, and can be referred to the non-game program. The processing based on the game RAM area can be referred to only a specific area required for the non-game program (for example, an internal winning flag setting area, a game state setting area, an RT setting area, etc.). In addition, a specific area in the non-game RAM area where processing based on the game program can be referred to, and a specific area in the game RAM area where processing based on the non-game program can be referred to may be allocated to continuous address areas. Although it is preferable, the configuration may be such that a part or all of the address area is not contiguous.

As described above, in this embodiment, the game program area in which the game program related to the progress of the game is stored, the game data area in which the game data referred to by the game program is readable, and the work data referred to by the game program are stored. A game RAM area that is readable and writable, a non-game program area that is a program called by the game program and stores non-game programs that are not related to the progress of the game, and a non-game that the non-game program refers to. Since the non-game data area in which the data is readable and stored and the non-game RAM area in which the work data referred to by the non-game program is readable and writable are allocated separately, the game program, The game data and the work data of the game program and the non-game program, the non-game data, and the work data of the non-game program can be easily specified according to the difference in the storage area.

Further, by separating the game program area and the game data area and the non-game program area and the non-game data area, the area occupied by the ROM 41b can be compactly managed according to each function. It will be easier to identify the relevant data.

Further, in the present embodiment, the non-game RAM area can be referred to when the game program is executed, and the game RAM area can be referred to when the non-game program is executed. The data used by the non-game program can be easily used when executing the game program, and the data used by the game program can be easily used when executing the non-game program. On the other hand, it is impossible to update the non-game RAM area when executing the game program, and it is impossible to update the game RAM area when executing the non-game program. Does not affect the processing of the non-game program, and the non-game program does not affect the processing of the game program.

Further, in the present embodiment, the processing based on the game program can refer only to a specific area (for example, an error flag setting area indicating abnormality detection) required for the game program in the non-game RAM area. , The processing based on the non-game program can refer only to a specific area (for example, an internal winning flag setting area, a game state setting area, an RT setting area, etc.) necessary for the non-game program in the game RAM area. Therefore, since the data that the game program can refer to in the non-game RAM area and the data that the non-game program can refer to are limited to a specific area, the reference destination of the game program or the non-game program can be easily specified. be able to.

As shown in FIG. 10A, the main control unit 41 of this embodiment can call a non-game program from a process based on the game program during execution of the main process, and FIG. 10B shows. As shown, it is possible to call a non-game program from a process based on the game program during execution of the timer interrupt process.

As shown in FIG. 10A, when calling a non-game program from the main process based on the game program, the game program sets the start address of the non-game program to be called in a specific area, and calls common processing. Execute 1. The call common process 1 is a process included in the game program. In the call common process 1, the registers used by the game program including the above-mentioned special register (Q register) are saved in the game stack area, and the stack pointer (SP) is saved. , The address indicating the current position of the game stack area) is saved in the SP save area of the game RAM area, and then the interrupt master permission flag is set to a value indicating interrupt prohibition to prohibit timer interruption. Is set to, and then the non-game program of the address set in the specific area is called.

On the other hand, the stack pointer (non-SP, address indicating the current position of the non-game stack area) of the non-game program is set based on the called non-game program, and the processing of the non-game program is executed. After that, it returns to the calling game program, that is, the calling common process 1.

After returning to the call common process 1, the call common process 1 releases the prohibition of timer interrupt by setting the value of the interrupt master permission flag to a value indicating interrupt permission, and saves the game stack area and SP. Based on the data saved in the area, the register used by the game program including the above-mentioned special register (Q register) and the stack pointer of the game program are returned to the state before calling the non-game program, and the process ends.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the game program calls the non-game program, the interrupt is set to be prohibited by the call common process 1, and when the non-game program returns to the game program, the interrupt is performed. Since the prohibition is released, the interruption can be set to be prohibited for the period during which the non-game program is executed.

Further, in the game program in the main process, by executing the call common process 1, when the non-game program is called, the register including the special register (Q register) is saved, the non-game program is terminated, and the game is played. When returning to the program, the register including the special register (Q register) is returned. Therefore, when using the LDQ instruction, it is based on the specific value set in the special register (Q register) performed at startup. The data can be read by specifying the address of the area where the game data is stored.

When the non-game program is called from the main process based on the game program, the non-game program first sets interrupts to be prohibited, executes various processes, and ends the non-game program. The prohibition of interrupts may be lifted, and with such a configuration, interrupts can be set to be prohibited during the period in which the non-game program is being executed, as in the present embodiment. Further, since the non-game program sets the prohibition and cancellation of interrupts, it is not necessary to set and cancel the prohibition of interrupts in the common call processing 1 of the game program, and the capacity of the game program can be reduced. ..

As shown in FIG. 10B, when calling a non-game program from a timer interrupt process based on a game program, the game program sets the start address of the non-game program to be called in a specific area and calls it. The common process 2 is executed. In the call common process 2, the register of the game program including the above-mentioned special register (Q register) is saved in the game stack area, and the stack pointer (SP, the address indicating the current position of the game stack area) is set in the game RAM area. After saving to the SP save area of, the non-game program of the address set in the specific area is called.

On the other hand, the called non-game program sets the stack pointer of the non-game program, executes the process of the non-game program, and then returns to the caller's call common process 2.

After returning to the call common process 2, the call common process 2 is a register used by the game program including the above-mentioned special register (Q register) based on the data saved in the game stack area and the SP save area. The stack pointer of the game program is returned to the state before calling the non-game program, and the process ends.

As described above, unlike the call common process 1, the call common process 2 does not set and cancel the timer interrupt as prohibited, but as described above, the main control unit 41 performs other interrupts during the execution of the timer interrupt process. Since the execution of the interrupt process is prohibited, the interrupt can be prohibited for the period during which the non-game program is executed.

Further, in the game program in the timer interrupt process, by executing the call common process 2, when the non-game program is called, the register including the special register (Q register) is saved, and the non-game program is terminated. When returning to the game program, the register including the special register (Q register) is returned. Therefore, when using the LDQ instruction, it is based on the specific value set in the special register (Q register) performed at startup. The data can be read by specifying the address of the area where the game data is stored.

In this embodiment, when the game program executes the call common process 1 and the call common process 2 to call the non-game program and execute the non-game program, the register actually used by the game program is used. Since the process of saving and protecting all the areas of the register is performed regardless of the presence or absence, when returning to the game program, it is possible to surely return from the state at the time when the non-game program was called. ..

It should be noted that the value of the register used by the game program immediately before calling the non-game program from the process based on the game program in the game program is protected without executing the call common process 1 and the call common process 2, and the non-game program After all the processing based on the above is completed, the value of the register protected at the first stage of returning to the game program may be restored. With such a configuration, the register may be restored before the non-game program is called. Since the protection process is performed and the register is restored after returning from the non-game program, the data stored in the register by the non-game program does not affect the game program.

Further, when the non-game program is called, the non-game program first saves the stack pointer and the register of the game program, and the stack pointer and the register of the game program are restored at the end of the non-game program. Also, with such a configuration, when returning to the game program, it is possible to surely return from the state at the time when the non-game program was called, and also to return to the game program. The capacity can be reduced.

The advantageous section ratio between the past 6000 games is the ratio of the number of games controlled in the advantageous section related to AT in the past 6000 games.
The advantageous section related to AT is a period from the time when the AT is won in the state where the AT is not won until the control of the AT associated with the winning AT is completed and the shift to the non-AT is completed. The ratio of advantageous sections to the total total number of games is a game controlled to an advantageous section related to AT with respect to the total number of games, which is the total number of games since the data of RAM 41c was initialized at the time of shipment from the factory or for some reason. It is a ratio of numbers. The consecutive payout ratio between the past 6000 games is the total number of medals paid out during the past 6000 games, which is the total number of medals paid out during the BB controlled between the past 6000 games. This is the ratio of the total number of consecutive payouts. The bonus payout ratio between the past 6000 games is paid during BB, RB, and CT controlled during the past 6000 games in the total number of medals paid out during the past 6000 games. It is the ratio of the number of bonuses paid out, which is the cumulative number of medals issued. The advantageous section payout ratio between the past 6000 games is the total number of medals paid out during the past 6000 games, which is paid out during the advantageous section related to AT controlled during the past 6000 games. It is the ratio of the number of medals paid out in the advantageous section, which is the cumulative number of medals. The ratio of consecutive payouts to the total cumulative payouts is the total number of medals paid out at the time of shipment from the factory or for some reason after the data of the RAM 41c is initialized. It is a ratio of the number of consecutive medals paid out, which is the cumulative number of medals paid out in the controlled BB from the time when the data of the RAM 41c is initialized to the present.

In addition, the abbreviation indicating the display content currently being displayed is set so that the display content of the most significant digit among the two displayed digits is a character other than a number (for example, "A1"), and the game machine information display is displayed. Even in a configuration in which the abbreviation is displayed in the last two digits of 50 and the data to be currently displayed (for example, the advantageous section ratio between the past 6000 games) is displayed in the first two digits of the game machine information display 50, the abbreviation number is displayed. It is possible to prevent the displayed contents of the ratio and the ratio from being misunderstood because the portion and the ratio and the ratio are adjacent to each other.

Further, regardless of whether the abbreviation and the data to be currently displayed are displayed in the last two digits or the first two digits of the game machine information display 50, the two digits for displaying the abbreviation and the data to be currently displayed are displayed. Even if the two-digit colors are different, it is possible to prevent the displayed contents of the ratio and the ratio from being misunderstood because the abbreviation number part and the ratio and the ratio are adjacent to each other.

In addition, the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment shows the advantageous section ratio, the consecutive payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, the advantageous section payout ratio, the consecutive payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio in FIG. In the case where the game progresses and these values can be updated to new values within one period until these displays are completely cycled when the display is switched at predetermined period intervals in the display order shown. Even if there is, the update to the new value is restricted, and the display is cycled using the original value. Specifically, if the game progresses and these values can be updated to new values within one period until the display is completed, the new values are calculated and the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is calculated. However, by setting the original value without setting the new value in the output buffer for displaying the display contents on the game machine information display 50, the display on the game machine information display 50 can be displayed. The original value may be used to make a round, and when the round display is completed, a new value may be set in the output buffer, and then the new value may be displayed. If these values can be updated to new values within one period until the end of the round, the display on the game machine information display 50 is restricted from performing the calculation for obtaining the new values. Is completed, and when the display of the round is completed, an operation for obtaining a new value may be performed, and then the display on the game machine information display 50 may be performed using the new value. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the display contents such as the advantageous section ratio calculated at different times from being mixed in the period until the display contents on the game machine information display 50 make a round.

Further, when the advantageous section ratio between the past 6000 games and the advantageous section ratio with respect to the total cumulative number of games exceeds the specified ratio (for example, 70%), the main control unit 41 displays a display mode different from the usual one (for example, normal). If it is always lit, blinking lit, etc.) to display the advantageous section ratio. Further, when the continuous combination payout ratio between the past 6000 games and the continuous combination payment ratio to the total cumulative number of games exceeds the specified ratio (for example, 60%), the main control unit 41 displays a display mode different from the usual one (for example, 60%). If it is normally lit all the time, it will blink and lit, etc.) to display the continuous payout ratio. Further, when the bonus payout ratio between the past 6000 games and the bonus payout ratio to the total cumulative number of games pay out exceeds the specified ratio (for example, 70%), the main control unit 41 displays a display mode different from the usual one (for example, 70%). If the normal lighting is always on, the accessory payout ratio is displayed by blinking lighting, etc.). Further, when the advantageous section payout ratio between the past 6000 games and the advantageous section payout ratio to the total cumulative number of payouts exceed the specified ratio (for example, 80%), the main control unit 41 displays a display mode different from the usual one (for example, 80%). If it is normally lit all the time, it will blink and lit, etc.) to display the advantageous section payout ratio.

In this way, when the advantageous section ratio, continuous combination payout ratio, accessory payout ratio, and advantageous section payout ratio exceed the specified ratio, they are displayed in a display mode different from the usual one, and the gambling is high. It is possible to warn that it may be controlled.

Further, the main control unit 41 controls the display mode different from the usual one, such as blinking the display of the upper two digits of the game machine information display 50 when the game has not reached 6000 games. It is possible to recognize that the total has not reached 6000 games, and it is possible to recognize that the displayed ratios and ratios may be biased.

The main control unit 41 displays "00" in the lower two digits of the game machine information display 50 when the game has not reached the 6000 game, and displays the game machine information after the game has reached the 6000 game. The ratio and ratio to be displayed in the lower two digits of the device 50 are displayed, that is, in the state after reaching 6000 games, the display mode of the lower two digits of the game machine information display 50 is referred to as the display mode after 6000 games. Is preferably configured to have a different display mode, and with such a configuration, the upper two digits of the game machine information display 50 are displayed (for example, "1A") in a state where the game has not reached 6000 games. It can be recognized that the total of the advantageous section ratios and the like specified by) has not reached 6000 games, and it can be recognized that the displayed ratios and ratios may be biased. In addition, by configuring the configuration to display "00" in the lower two digits of the game machine information display 50 when the game has not reached 6000 games, the game machine information is always displayed when the game has not reached 6000 games.

For example, when the data is not displayed in one of the last two digits of the display, the abnormality of the display can be recognized.

In addition, the main control unit 41 has an advantageous section ratio between the past 6000 games, an advantageous section ratio with respect to the total cumulative number of games, a continuous combination payout ratio between the past 6000 games, a character payout ratio between the past 6000 games, and a past 6000 games. Judge whether the data used to calculate the advantageous section payout ratio, the consecutive payout ratio to the total cumulative payouts, the accessory payout ratio to the total cumulative payouts, and the advantageous section payout ratio to the total cumulative payouts is normal. , When it is determined to be abnormal (when the number of bonuses paid out, the number of consecutive payouts, the number of advantageous section payouts is larger than the total number of payouts, the stored value is in a certain data format (01 repetition, etc.), etc.) Initializes the data determined to be abnormal and the data related to the data, causes the game machine information display 50 to display that an abnormality has been detected (for example, "FFFF"), and notifies that fact. It is possible to recognize that the calculation of these data is not performed normally.

When initializing the data determined to be abnormal and the data related to the data, for example, among the advantageous section ratio, the continuous combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio for the past 6000 games. If at least one of the above is determined to be abnormal, the data relating to all of them may be initialized, or only a part of the data may be initialized. If at least one of the advantageous section ratio, consecutive payout ratio, accessory payout ratio, and advantageous section payout ratio to the total cumulative number of games is determined to be abnormal, the data related to all of these should be initialized. Alternatively, only some data may be initialized. In addition, when an abnormality is determined in a part of the data for the past 6000 games, all the data for the past 6000 games and the total cumulative number of games is initialized, or conversely, a part of the data for the total cumulative number of games is initialized. When an abnormality is determined, all the data for the past 6000 games and the total total number of games may be initialized.

In addition, it is determined whether or not the data used for calculating the advantageous section ratio, the continuous combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio for the past 6000 games and the total cumulative number of games is normal, and it is determined to be abnormal. In that case, a predetermined operation (for example, the switches such as the start switch 7, the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, and the setting key switch 37 are operated by the predetermined procedure) is performed. By doing so, the data may be initialized.

Further, in the notification that an abnormality has been determined, as described above, even if the gaming machine information display 50 is made to display that an abnormality has been detected (for example, "FFFF") and notify that fact. Good, when an abnormality is determined, a command that can identify that fact is transmitted to the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91 notifies that the abnormality has been determined by the liquid crystal display 51 or the like. You may do so.

In addition, the main control unit 41 has a period from the start of data collection to the arrival of 6000 games, that is, the ratio of advantageous sections between the past 6000 games, the ratio of advantageous sections to the total cumulative number of games, and the continuous operation between the past 6000 games. Role payout ratio, bonus payout ratio between past 6000 games, advantageous section payout ratio between past 6000 games, consecutive payout ratio to total cumulative payouts, bonus payout ratio to total cumulative payouts, advantage over total cumulative payouts During the period when the data for calculating the section payout ratio, etc. is insufficient, the display content of the game machine information display 50 is displayed in a mode different from the display mode after 6000 games after the start of data collection. It is possible to recognize that the data for calculating the display content is an insufficient period.

In this embodiment, the ratio of advantageous sections between the past 6000 games, the ratio of advantageous sections to the total cumulative number of games, the ratio of consecutive payments between the past 6000 games, and the past 6000 during the period from when the power is turned on until the power supply is stopped. The character payout ratio between games, the advantageous section payout ratio between the past 6000 games, the consecutive payout ratio to the total cumulative payout number, the character payout ratio to the total cumulative payout number, and the advantageous section payout ratio to the total cumulative payout number are specified. Although it is switched and displayed every period, it is displayed only when the open state of the front door 1b is detected, or the operation of a predetermined operation switch (for example, reset / setting switch 38) is performed. It is displayed only when it is detected, it is displayed when it is not in the game, it is displayed during the setting change status or setting confirmation, and it is displayed only for a specified period after the power is turned on. You may do so. Further, the display content may be switched every time a predetermined operation is performed instead of automatically switching at each predetermined period.

Further, in the present embodiment, the game machine information indicates that the data abnormality used for calculating the display content of the game machine information display 50 has been determined and that the data for calculating the display content is insufficient. Although the configuration is such that the display is notified using the display 50, a command that can identify that fact is transmitted to the sub control unit 91 so that it can be confirmed by the display or the effect device controlled by the sub control unit 91. good.

Further, in this embodiment, the advantageous section ratio between the past 6000 games, the advantageous section ratio to the total cumulative number of games, the continuous combination payout ratio between the past 6000 games, the character payout ratio between the past 6000 games, and the past 6000 games. The advantageous section payout ratio, the consecutive payout ratio to the total cumulative payout number, the accessory payout ratio to the total cumulative payout number, and the advantageous section payout ratio to the total cumulative payout number are displayed on the game machine information display 50. , In addition to these displays, when the RAM 41c is initialized by changing the setting, or when the disconnection of the wiring (backup power supply wiring, etc.) provided in the slot machine 1 is detected, that fact can be recognized. The contents may be displayed on the game machine information display 50.

In particular, if the setting is changed during the bonus, during the advantageous section or during the carry-over of the bonus and the bonus or advantageous section is forcibly terminated, or if the bonus being carried over is cleared, the game is defined while the bonus is being carried over. More than a few were performed, or an operation to intentionally end the advantageous section was performed (for example, in RT2 and RT3 during AT, the RT1 transition replay or SB was intentionally won, or a specific symbol was stopped. When an operation to shift to RT1 is performed, that is, when a game state that is relatively advantageous to the player is intentionally shifted to a game state that is unfavorable to the player, etc.) is detected, and the game machine information display 50 is disconnected. When it is detected that the connection may not be performed normally due to the occurrence of such a problem, a notice to that effect is identifiable. By doing so, it is possible to recognize that there is a possibility that the correct information is not displayed as the advantageous section ratio, the accessory payout ratio, the continuous combination payout ratio, the advantageous section payout ratio, etc. ..

In addition, as will be described later, in the process of avoiding the overflow of the total cumulative data, when the total cumulative data etc. is initialized, it is possible to specify that fact, as described above, the advantageous section ratio, the accessory payout ratio, It is preferable to notify in a manner different from the case where there is a possibility that the correct information is not displayed as the continuous combination payout ratio, the advantageous section payout ratio, etc., and by doing so, overflow is avoided. It is possible to recognize that the total cumulative data has been initialized by the processing to be performed separately from the initialization by an illegal operation for preventing the correct information from being displayed as the advantageous section ratio or the like.

In addition, as described above, if there is a possibility that the correct information is not displayed as the advantageous section ratio, the accessory payout ratio, the continuous combination payout ratio, the advantageous section payout ratio, etc., that fact is detected. Then, the history of the detection is recorded on the main control unit 41 side, and at the time of the detection, a predetermined operation (for example, start switch 7, stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, setting key switch 37, etc.) is performed without notifying the detection. By operating the switches in a predetermined procedure, connecting a predetermined external device such as an inspection terminal to the game control board 40, etc.), these histories are provided on the main control unit 41 side. It can be confirmed by a display (for example, a game machine information display 50 or the like), a display provided on the sub-control unit 91 side (for example, a liquid crystal display 51 or the like), or an external display of the slot machine 1.

Counting the number of games in the game section, which is the number of games in the controlled advantageous section (the period from when the AT is won to when the number of remaining games in the AT becomes 0 and the control of the AT is completed). Is possible.

Specifically, when the medals are paid out in connection with the winning of the small winning combination, the main control unit 41 adds the number of the paid out medals to the first data counting buffer, and BB or RB. In the period controlled by BB, when medals are paid out due to the winning of a small winning combination, the number of the paid out medals is added to the second data counting buffer, and in the period controlled by BB. When a medal is paid out due to a small winning combination, the number of the paid out medals is added to the third data counting buffer, and the advantageous section controlled by AT (after winning AT, it is controlled by AT). In the period from when the game is played until the number of remaining games of the AT becomes 0 and the control of the AT is finished), when the medals are paid out in connection with the winning of the small winning combination, the number of the paid out medals is the fourth. The game is played in the advantageous section controlled by the AT after adding to the data counting buffer (the period from when the AT is controlled until the number of remaining games of the AT becomes 0 and the control of the AT is completed). When it is broken, one game is added to the fifth data counting buffer. In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 is configured to add the number of medals to the first to fourth data counting buffers at the timing when the occurrence of the small winning combination is determined. The timing at which the number of medals is added to the data counting buffer of the above may be the timing at which medals are actually given due to the occurrence of a small winning combination (credit addition or detection of actual medal payout).

At this time, the data related to the total cumulative data that has reached the specified number is all the data used in the calculation (in this embodiment, the total number of payments, the number of bonuses paid out, the number of consecutive payouts, the number of games, and the advantageous section game. You may want to initialize all the aggregated data of the number of times, or when some relatively relevant data (for example, the aggregated data A'of the total number of payouts reaches the specified number as the total accumulated data). The total data B'ratio of the number of consecutive payouts used together with the aggregated data A'when calculating the consecutive payout ratio, the bonus payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio, the aggregated data C'of the number of bonus payouts, When the aggregated data D'of the number of advantageous section payouts and the aggregated data E'of the number of games as the total cumulative data reach the specified number, it is used together with the aggregated data E'when calculating the advantageous section ratio (F / E). The aggregated data F') of the number of advantageous section games to be obtained may be initialized.

When the total cumulative data reaches a predetermined specified number, the total cumulative data that has reached the specified number and the data related to the total cumulative data are reduced by a predetermined ratio (for example, the total cumulative data). To avoid overflow of the total cumulative data by multiplying the current value by 0.5, etc.), at this time, the total cumulative data that has reached the specified number and the data related to the total cumulative data. All the data in the above may be reduced by a predetermined ratio, or the total cumulative data that has reached the specified number and some data that are relatively related to the total cumulative data may be reduced by a predetermined ratio. You can do it.

In addition, when the total cumulative data reaches a predetermined specified number, when the total cumulative data that has reached the specified number and the data related to the total cumulative data are initialized or decreased, the total cumulative data The specified number may be the maximum value of the total accumulated data (the maximum value of the value that can be stored in each aggregated data area (3 bytes) of the RAM 41c), or a predetermined value smaller than the maximum value of the total accumulated data (the maximum value). It may be a value that is well-cut within 3 bytes, for example, "16000000 (decimal number)").

Further, in this embodiment, when the total cumulative data consisting of 3 bytes can overflow, that is, when the data such as the total number of payments can reach a numerical value of 3 bytes or more, it is related once as a process for avoiding the overflow. Although the configuration is such that the data is erased, the counting may be stopped without erasing the related data.

Further, the data displayed on the game machine information display 50 may be executed for each game, or may be executed only for the game in which the prize is generated.

Since the microcomputer used in the game machine cannot perform the calculation after the decimal point, in this embodiment, the calculation is performed by using the following first calculation method. In the first calculation method, first, the value of the numerator is multiplied by 100. Then, this value multiplied by 100 is divided by the value of the denominator. As a result, the ratio can be calculated without performing the calculation after the decimal point. That is, by multiplying the divisor by 100, the calculation result up to two digits after the decimal point can be obtained. Here, when obtaining the calculation result up to three digits after the decimal point, it may be multiplied by 1000.

As the calculation method performed by the microcomputer that cannot perform the calculation after the decimal point, the following second calculation method may be used. In the second calculation method, first, the value of the denominator is divided by 100. Then, the value of the numerator is divided by the value divided by 100. As a result, the ratio can be calculated without performing the calculation after the decimal point. That is, by dividing the divisor by 100, the calculation result up to two digits after the decimal point can be obtained. Here, when obtaining the calculation result up to three digits after the decimal point, division may be performed by 1000.

In addition, the microcomputer used in the game machine can only perform calculations between values of up to 2 bytes. Therefore, in this embodiment, the lower bits are truncated as necessary in order to facilitate the calculation. By using such a calculation method, the calculation by the microcomputer used in the game machine becomes easy, but an error occurs. However, as the calculation period becomes longer, the error is reduced and the value is approximated to the original value. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the value to be calculated is 2 bytes or less, the calculation is performed using the value as it is without truncating the lower bits, and the value to be calculated is 2 bytes. When it exceeds, the operation is performed using the value obtained by truncating the lower bits.

In the conventional slot machine, the state is controlled to be advantageous to the player based on a predetermined design value.

However, with such a conventional method, it is difficult to confirm whether or not the control is performed in an advantageous state based on a predetermined design value after the installation in the game store.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, in a specific period (for the past 6000 games, at the time of shipment from the factory, or for some reason, the period from the initialization of the data in the RAM 41c to the present) in the total number of medals given Since the continuous combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio, which are the ratios of the total number of medals awarded in the advantageous period (BB, RB, advantageous section), are calculated and displayed on the game machine information display 50. It is possible to confirm whether or not the slot machine 1 is controlled in an advantageous state based on a predetermined design value even after it is shipped to the market.

Further, in this embodiment, the number of games controlled in an advantageous period (advantageous section) in a specific period (between the past 6000 games, at the time of shipment from the factory, or the period from the initialization of the data of the RAM 41c to the present for some reason). Since the advantageous section ratio, which is a ratio, is calculated and displayed on the game machine information display 50, it is possible to confirm information that is the degree of gambling even after the game is shipped to the market.

In this embodiment, the ratio of the number of games controlled in the advantageous section during a specific period (between the past 6000 games, at the time of shipment from the factory, or the period from the initialization of the data of the RAM 41c to the present for some reason) is advantageous. The section ratio is calculated and displayed on the game machine information display 50, but for a specific period (the period from the past 6000 games, the factory shipment, or the period from the initialization of the RAM 41c data to the present). In, the ratio of the number of games controlled by bonuses such as BB and RB may be calculated and displayed on the game machine information display 50. Even in such a configuration, the degree of gambling even after being shipped to the market. You can check the information that becomes.

Further, in this embodiment, the continuous combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout for a specific period (the period from the time when the data of the RAM 41c is initialized to the present during the past 6000 games, at the time of shipment from the factory, or for some reason). When calculating the ratio, the continuous combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio are calculated by different calculation methods depending on whether or not these original data satisfy the predetermined conditions. The optimum calculation method can be selected according to the data. For example, if the total number of payouts in a specific period and the total number of payouts in an advantageous section of a specific period are within 2 bytes, the data that is the basis of the calculation can be used as it is without processing, and the continuous payout ratio, the bonus payout ratio, and the advantage. While calculating the section payout ratio, if the total number of payouts in a specific period and the total number of payouts in an advantageous section in a specific period exceed 2 bytes, the data that is the basis of the calculation is processed into data within 2 bytes. By calculating the joint combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio, the consecutive combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio can be calculated by the optimum calculation method with less error.

In this embodiment, the ratio of the total number of medals awarded in the advantageous period (BB, RB, advantageous section) in the first period to the total number of medals awarded in the first period (between the past 6000 games). The total number of medals awarded in the second period (the period from the factory shipment or the period from the initialization of the RAM 41c data to the present), the continuous combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, the advantageous section payout ratio. The consecutive combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio, which are the ratios of the total number of medals awarded in the advantageous period (BB, RB, advantageous section) in the second period, are calculated, and the game machine information is obtained. In addition to being displayed on the display 50, when calculating the joint combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio in the first period, the consecutive combination payout ratio and the accessory payout ratio in the second period, Even when calculating the advantageous section payout ratio, the joint combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio are calculated by a common calculation method, but the consecutive combination payout ratio and the combination in the first period The method of calculating the material payout ratio and the advantageous section payout ratio may be different from the method of calculating the continuous combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio in the second period. For example, in the above example, in calculating the continuous combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio, the numerator is multiplied by 100 so that the result is%, but the denominator is multiplied by 1/100. If the result is%, the total number of payouts in the first period can be kept within 2 bytes. In such a configuration, when calculating the joint combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio in the first period, the continuous combination payout is used as it is without processing the data that is the basis of the calculation. While calculating the ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio, when calculating the consecutive combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio in the second period, the data that is the basis of the calculation is 2 By calculating the continuous combination payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the advantageous section payout ratio after processing the data into bytes or less, the continuous combination payout ratio and the bonus payout ratio are calculated by the optimum method according to the amount of data used. It becomes possible to calculate the advantageous section payout ratio.

That is, when the game state is CT, the number of medals paid out is the same regardless of which small winning combination is won. Therefore, even if the small winning combination of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is different depending on the stop operation procedure, the number of payouts is the same, so that the stop operation procedure does not cause any advantage or disadvantage.

Next, the reel control when the gaming state is CT will be described. In this embodiment, when the gaming state is CT, the maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switch 8L to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reel 2L is 75 ms, and the operation of the stop switches 8C and 8R corresponds to the reel 2C. The maximum stop delay time until the rotation of 2R is stopped is 190 ms. As a result, when the game state is CT, the symbols displayed when the stop switch 8L is operated and the symbols one frame ahead of the reel 2L can be selected as the stop symbols for a total of two frames. It is a design of. Further, even when the game state is CT, the symbols displayed when the stop switches 8C and 8R are operated and the symbols displayed up to 4 frames ahead can be selected as the stop symbols of the reels 2C and 2R. A certain symbol, a total of 5 frames. Hereinafter, the reel 2L in which the maximum delay time from the operation timing of the stop switch 8L to the stop is shortened may be referred to as a CT reel.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the reel 2L has a cherry a symbol on the 1st, a cherry b symbol on the 14th, 4th, 7th, 12th, 13th, 17th, and 20th. The bell design and the red 7 design are placed on the 9th. This means that even when the maximum number of sliding frames is 1, "cherry a symbol is stopped at the upper or lower stage", "cherry b symbol is stopped at the upper or lower stage", regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8L. This is because the symbol arrangement is such that the bell symbol or the red 7 symbol can be stopped at any of the upper, middle, or lower stages.

Further, on the reel 2C, bell symbols are arranged at Nos. 2, 6, 9, 13, and 18. This is because when the maximum number of sliding frames is 4, the symbol arrangement is such that "the bell symbol can be stopped at the upper, middle, or lower stages" regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8C.

Further, on the reel 2R, bell symbols are arranged at Nos. 1, 6, 10, 14, and 18. This is because when the maximum number of sliding frames is 4, the symbol arrangement is such that "the bell symbol can be stopped at the upper, middle, or lower stages" regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8R.

By arranging the symbols in this way, when the gaming state is CT, the main control unit 41 can be any of the upper cherry, the lower cherry, and the bell regardless of the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. It is possible to perform control to always derive the value.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the reel 2L has a BAR symbol at No. 0 and a watermelon symbol at Nos. 2, 5, and 18. This is because, when the maximum number of sliding frames is 1, the BAR symbol and the watermelon symbol constituting the watermelon combination cannot be drawn onto the winning line depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 8L.

Further, on the reel 2C, watermelon symbols are arranged at Nos. 15 and 20. This is because when the maximum number of sliding frames is 4, the watermelon symbol cannot be drawn onto the winning line depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 8C.

Further, on the reel 2R, watermelon symbols are arranged at Nos. 2, 5, and 17. This is because when the maximum number of sliding frames is 4, the watermelon symbol cannot be drawn onto the winning line depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 8R.

By arranging the symbols in this way, when the gaming state is CT, the main control unit 41 controls that the watermelon cannot be derived depending on the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Can be done.

As described above, in the symbol arrangement of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is CT, the main control unit 41 is the upper cherry and the lower, regardless of the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. It is possible to control to always derive either cherry or bell. However, when the gaming state is CT, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment controls so that the derived outcomes are changed depending on the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and the interest in deriving the outcomes. To improve.

For example, when the game state is CT, the main control unit 41 preferentially derives cherries and bells and watermelons according to the operation timing of the stop switch 8L when the stop switch 8L is operated first. One of the controls to be preferentially derived is performed. Further, for example, when the game state is CT, the main control unit 41 displays a small winning combination display result depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 8C or the stop switch 8R when the stop switch 8C or the stop switch 8R is operated for the first time. Either one of the easy mode in which it is easy to derive any of the above in response to the stop operation of the reel 2L, and the difficult mode in which it is difficult to derive any of the small winning combination display results in response to the stop operation of the reel 2L. Control so that

As a result, when the game state is in CT, the pull-in combination changes and the operation timing for avoiding omissions changes depending on the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is an interest in deriving the display result. Can be enhanced.

Do.

FIG. 31 is a diagram showing the outcomes when the main control unit 41 controls to derive the outcomes that are missed in this embodiment. FIG. 31A is a diagram showing a result when the stop switch 8R is operated first and the stop switch 8R is operated when the No. 6 bell symbol is in the lower stage of the reel 2R. .. In the illustrated example, the No. 2 watermelon symbol is stopped at the lower stage of the reel 2R, and the No. 1 bell symbol is stopped at the middle stage of the reel 2R.

Further, FIG. 31 (B) shows that when the result of FIG. 31 (A) is derived, the second stop reel is the reel 2C, and any symbol is present in the lower stage of the reel 2C. It is a figure which showed the result when the switch 8C was operated.

As shown in FIG. 31 (B), when the outcome of FIG. 31 (A) is derived, the second stop reel is reel 2C, and any symbol is present in the lower stage of reel 2C. When the stop switch 8C is operated, the main control unit 41 controls the middle-stage bell winning tempai.

Further, in FIG. 31 (C), when the outcome of FIG. 31 (B) is derived, the third stop reel is the reel 2L, and the symbols Nos. 7, 12, and 20 are the reels 2L. It is a figure which showed the result when the stop switch 8L was operated when it was present in the lower stage.

As shown in FIG. 31 (C), when the result of FIG. 31 (B) is derived, the third stop reel is the reel 2L, and the symbols 7, 12, and 20 are the reels. If the stop switch 8L is operated while it is in the lower stage of the 2L, the main control unit 41 performs a control that causes the winning combination to be missed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is CT, the main control unit 41 is a reel when the stop operation for stopping the fluctuation display of the reel 2L (specific variable display unit, CT reel) is first performed. Control to preferentially derive watermelon (first small combination) according to the 2L display result (operation timing of stop switch 8L), and bell or cherry (second small combination) without prioritizing watermelon derivation ) Is given priority and one of the controls is performed.

As a result, the pull-in combination changes depending on the stopping order of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and it is possible to enhance the interest in deriving the display result.

Specifically, when the game state is CT, the first stop reel is reel 2L, and when the watermelon No. 18 stops in the lower stage as the display result of reel 2L (the operation timing of the stop switch 8L is first specified). At the time of operation timing), the main control unit 41 gives priority to the derivation of the watermelon and performs stop control of the reels 2C and 2R. Further, when the game state is CT and the first stop reel is reel 2L, when a watermelon other than the 18th watermelon stops in the lower stage as a display result of reel 2L (the operation timing of the stop switch 8L is the first specific operation timing). When the timing is different from the above), the main control unit 41 performs stop control of the reels 2C and 2R with priority given to the derivation of the bell or cherry (upper cherry, lower cherry).

The player operates the stop switch 8L when the second watermelon symbol is present in the lower stage of the reel 2L so as not to drop the cherry or the watermelon when the reel 2L is normally stopped.

Therefore, when the gaming state is CT, when the first stop reel is the reel 2L, and the stop switch 8L is operated when the second watermelon symbol is in the lower stage of the reel 2L, the watermelon is given priority. Instead of the control to derive the bell or cherry (second small combination), the control to derive the bell or cherry is performed.

In this way, when the game state is CT and the first stop reel is the reel 2L, the player normally sets the stop operation timing to which the watermelon (first small combination) is preferentially derived. By not including the stop operation timing "operate the stop switch 8L when the second watermelon symbol is in the lower stage of the reel 2L", the player who is lost in the operation selects a difficult operation procedure. Can be prevented.

Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is first stopped to stop the variation display of the reel 2C or the reel 2R (non-specific variable display unit) when the gaming state is CT. In this case, depending on the display result of reel 2C or reel 2R (operation timing of stop switch 8C or stop switch 8R), the display result of reel 2L (specific variable display unit, CT reel) should not be missed. Either the control that facilitates the operation or the control that makes it difficult to prevent the small winning combination from being missed in the display result of the reel 2L (specific variable display unit, CT reel) is performed.

As a result, the operation timing for avoiding omission changes depending on the stop order of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and it is possible to enhance the interest in deriving the display result.

Specifically, when the game state is CT, the first stop reel is reel 2C, and as a display result of reel 2C, when a symbol other than the 0th BAR symbol stops in the lower stage (the operation timing of the stop switch 8C is the first). (2) At a timing different from the specific operation timing), the main control unit 41 performs control that facilitates not to miss a small winning combination depending on the display result of the reel 2L. Further, when the game state is CT and the first stop reel is reel 2R, when a display result of reel 2R is that a symbol other than the second watermelon symbol stops in the lower stage (the operation timing of the stop switch 8R is the second specific operation). (When the timing is different from the timing), the main control unit 41 performs control that makes it easy not to miss a small winning combination depending on the display result of the reel 2L.

When performing control that makes it easy not to miss a small role, as described above, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8L, depending on the display result of the reel 2L, the bell or cherry (upper cherry, lower cherry) Either is derived.

Specifically, when the game state is CT, the first stop reel is reel 2C, and the display result of reel 2C is that the 0th BAR symbol stops in the lower stage (the operation timing of the stop switch 8C is changed). At the time of the second specific operation timing), the main control unit 41 performs control that makes it difficult to prevent the small winning combination from being missed depending on the display result of the reel 2L. For example, when the first stop reel is reel 2C and the second stop reel is reel 2L, if the stop switch 8L is operated when the 9th to 13th symbols are in the lower stage of the reel 2L, a small winning combination Miss. Further, for example, when the first stop reel is reel 2C and the second stop reel is reel 2R, when the stop switch 8R is operated when the 12th to 16th symbols are in the lower stage of the reel 2R. As shown in FIG. 27, the winning combination is non-tempai. At this time, if the stop switch 8L is operated when the symbols 0, 5, 13 and 18 to 20 are in the lower stage of the reel 2L, the small winning combination is missed.

Specifically, when the game state is CT, when the first stop reel is reel 2R, when the second watermelon symbol stops in the lower stage as a display result of reel 2R (the operation timing of the stop switch 8R is At the time of the second specific operation timing), the main control unit 41 performs control that makes it difficult to prevent the small winning combination from being missed depending on the display result of the reel 2L. For example, when the first stop reel is reel 2R and the second stop reel is reel 2L, the stop switch 8L is operated when the 7th, 12th, and 20th symbols are in the lower stage of the reel 2L. Misses a small role. Further, for example, when the first stop reel is reel 2R and the second stop reel is reel 2C, the symbols No. 7, 12, and 20 exist in the lower stage of the reel 2L in the reel 2L which is the third stop reel. If the stop switch 8L is operated at the time of operation, a small role is missed.

As described above, the player operates the stop switch 8L when the second watermelon symbol is present in the lower stage of the reel 2L so as not to drop the cherry or the watermelon when the reel 2L is normally stopped.

Therefore, for example, if the stop switch 8L is operated when the symbols 9 to 13 are in the lower stage of the reel 2L, even if a small winning combination is missed, the number 2 is the same as in the normal case. By operating the stop switch 8L when the watermelon symbol of No. 1 is present in the lower stage of the reel 2L, it is possible to avoid missing a small winning combination. Further, for example, even if the small winning combination is missed when the stop switch 8L is operated when the symbols 0, 5, 13 and 18 to 20 are in the lower stage of the reel 2L. As in the normal case, by operating the stop switch 8L when the No. 2 watermelon symbol is present in the lower stage of the reel 2L, it is possible to avoid missing a small winning combination. Further, for example, if the stop switch 8L is operated when the 7th, 12th, and 20th symbols are in the lower stage of the reel 2L, even if a small winning combination is missed, the same as in the normal case. By operating the stop switch 8L when the No. 2 watermelon symbol is present in the lower stage of the reel 2L, it is possible to avoid missing a small winning combination.

In this way, even when control is performed that makes it difficult to prevent the small winning combination from being missed, the player normally performs the stop operation timing at which the small winning combination can be derived. Stop operation timing By including "operate the stop switch 8L when the second watermelon symbol is in the lower stage of the reel 2L", it is possible to prevent the player who is lost in the operation from selecting a difficult operation procedure. Can be done.

Further, when the game state is CT, the production may be different between when the bell and cherry are won and when the watermelon is won. For example, it is possible to aim for a difficult watermelon prize by making the production at the time of watermelon prize, which is difficult to win, more special than the production at the time of bell and cherry prize, which is easy to win. , It is possible to improve the interest of the player.

The special effect is an effect that is not normally executed, such as an effect in which the screen flashes. Further, as a special effect, the effect may be advantageous to the player. For example, as an effect at the time of winning a watermelon, which is difficult to win, an effect suggesting a set value of the slot machine 1 may be used.

FIG. 32 is a diagram showing an example of an effect when the bell wins a prize when the gaming state is CT. In the illustrated example, the design of the bell is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

FIG. 33 is a diagram showing an example of an effect when a watermelon wins a prize when the game state is CT. In the illustrated example, the pattern of the character's kimono suggests the set value of the slot machine 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 33 (A), when the pattern of the character's kimono is a star pattern, it is suggested that the set value is likely to be an odd number (set values 1, 3, 5). To do. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 33 (B), when the pattern of the character's kimono is a goldfish pattern, there is a high possibility that the set value is an even number (the set values are 2, 4, and 6). Suggests. Further, as shown in FIG. 33C, when the pattern of the character's kimono is a fruit pattern, it is highly likely that the set value is either 5 or 6.

Next, the main effects obtained by the above-described embodiment will be described.
(1) In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 (predetermining means) determines a display result combination that is allowed to be derived before the display result is derived. Further, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (deriving operation means) are operated so that the player can derive the display result. Further, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, the main control unit 41 (derivation control means) can be derived within a range of 190 ms (predetermined delay time) after the operation is performed. The display result is derived according to the determination result of the main control unit 41 (predetermining means). Further, the main control unit 41 (playground resistance control means) controls a gaming state including a normal state and a CT (specific state) different from the normal state.

Further, when the game state is CT, the main control unit 41 (predetermining means) displays a plurality of types of small winning combinations including watermelon (first small winning combination) and bells and cherries (second small winning combination) in the same game. Decide that both derivations of (small combination) are allowed. Further, the main control unit 41 (derivation control means) can derive display results within a range of 190 ms (first delay time) for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R (plural variable display units) in a normal state. Derived. Further, when the gaming state is CT (specific state), the main control unit 41 (predetermining means) is 190 ms (third) for reel 2L (specific variable display unit) among reels 2L, 2C, and 2R (plural variable display units). Display results that can be derived within a range of 75 ms (second delay time) shorter than 1 delay time) are derived, and 190 ms (first) for reel 2C and reel 2R (non-specific variable display unit other than the specific variable display unit). Derivation of display results that can be derived within the range of delay time).

Further, the watermelon (first small combination) may not be able to be derived depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 8C and the stop switch 8R (deriving operation means) for the reel 2C and the reel 2R (non-specific variable display unit). , Bell and cherry (second small combination) are derived regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8C and stop switch 8R (deriving operation means) for the reel 2C and reel 2R (non-specific variable display unit). It is possible.

Further, the main control unit 41 (derivation control means) is the reel 2L (specific variable display unit) when the operation of deriving the display result of the reel 2L (specific variable display unit) is first performed when the gaming state is CT. When the timing of the operation for deriving the display result of) is the first specific operation timing, the reel 2C and the reel 2R (non-specific variable display unit) are controlled to preferentially derive the watermelon (first small combination). When the timing is different from the first specific operation timing, the reel 2C and the reel 2R (non-specific variable display unit) are controlled to preferentially derive the bell or cherry (first small combination).

Further, when the game state is CT, the main control unit 41 (derivation control means) first derives the display results of the reels 2C and the reels 2R (non-specific variable display unit), the reels 2C, When the timing of the operation for deriving the display result of the reel 2R (non-specific variable display unit) is the second specific operation timing, the small winning combination should not be missed as compared with the timing different from the second specific operation timing. (Control that makes it difficult to derive the display result that constitutes any of a plurality of types of small combination combinations to the specific variable display unit) is performed.

As a result, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped in order to change the pull-in combination and the operation timing for avoiding omission, which makes it possible to enhance the interest in deriving the display result.

(2) In addition, the medal (2) awarded when the watermelon (first small combination) is derived and when any of the bell, upper cherry, and lower cherry (second small combination) is derived. The number of game values) may be the same (for example, eight).

As a result, it is possible to prevent advantages and disadvantages from occurring due to the stop operation procedure.

(3) Further, the stop operation timing (first specific operation timing) for controlling the watermelon (first small combination combination) to be derived with priority is an operation in which the cherry or watermelon is not dropped when the game state is other than CT. It may be different from the timing (the stop operation timing that the player usually aims at).

As a result, it is possible to prevent the player who is lost in the operation from selecting a difficult operation procedure.

(4) Further, control that makes it difficult to prevent the small winning combination from being missed (control that makes it difficult to derive the display result constituting any one of a plurality of types of small winning combination to the specific variable display unit). ), The stop operation timing from which either the bell or the cherry can be derived may include the operation timing at which the cherry or watermelon is not dropped when the gaming state is other than CT.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the player who is lost in the operation from selecting a difficult operation procedure.

(5) Further, when the watermelon is derived, an effect different from that when the bell or cherry is derived (for example, a flash effect, a setting suggestion effect, etc.) may be performed.

As a result, it is possible to enhance the interest in which display result is derived.

(6) Further, the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment has a storage means having a storage area capable of storing a program, a control means for controlling based on the program stored in the storage means, and a game value (medal).
