Description

The present invention relates to a slot machine in which the result of a game is determined by a combination of symbols displayed when a plurality of rotating reels are stopped.

Slot machines have been widely known as one of the gaming machines. Generally, in this type of slot machine, when a player inserts a predetermined number of game media such as medals and game balls, the operation of the start switch becomes effective. Then, when the player operates the start switch, a plurality of reels on which a plurality of symbols are drawn start to rotate, and a winning combination lottery is performed. When the rotation speed of the reels reaches a certain speed, the operation of the stop switch provided corresponding to each reel becomes effective, and when the player operates the stop switch, the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is released. It will stop.

At this time, when any combination is won in the combination lottery, the reel stop control (for example, the number of sliding frames is 4 frames) is controlled so that the symbol combinations corresponding to the combination are aligned on the effective line. Reel control) is performed. On the other hand, if the result of the winning combination lottery is lost, reel stop control (kicking control) is performed so that the symbol combinations corresponding to some winning combination are not aligned on the effective line. Then, when all the reels are stopped and the symbol combination corresponding to any combination is stopped and displayed on the effective line, that combination is won and the player is given a privilege according to the winning combination. One game is completed. On the other hand, if the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the valid line does not correspond to any of the winning combinations, one game ends without giving the player a privilege. Hereinafter, a game in which a game is started by rotating reels and the result is determined by stopping all reels is referred to as a unit game.

The slot machine described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a stop position selection means for selecting any stop position from the stoptable positions based on the gaming state. The stop position selection means notifies the player of the difference in the game state by selecting different stop positions when the game states are different.

In the figure, a front panel 20 is provided on the front surface of the housing of the slot machine 10. A display window 22 is formed in the substantially center of the front panel 20, and a display window 23 is formed in the lower right side of the display window 22, and three main reels 40L rotatably provided inside the slot machine 10. A printed pattern is displayed on the outer peripheral surfaces of 40C, 40R (hereinafter, the main reel is referred to as a reel) and one effect reel 40E. The effect reel 40E, the middle reel 40C, and the right reel 40R are arranged in order from the left side of the display window 22, and the left reel 40L is arranged at a position corresponding to the display window 23.

The reels 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E are provided so that their rotation axes are aligned on the same straight line in the horizontal direction, each has a ring shape, and 20 symbols are equal to the outer peripheral surface thereof. A strip-shaped reel tape printed at intervals is attached. Then, from the display window 22, when the effect reels 40E, reels 40C, and 40R are stopped, out of the 20 symbols printed on each reel, three consecutive symbols along the rotation direction of each reel. Is visible. That is, on the display window 22, 3 [designs] x 3 [reels] = a total of 9 symbols printed on the effect reels 40E, reels 40C, and 40R are stopped and displayed. Further, from the display window 23, one of the 20 symbols printed on the left reel 40L can be visually recognized when the left reel 40L is stopped. That is, on the display window 23, 1 [design] × 1 [reel] = a total of one symbol printed on the left reel 40L is stopped and displayed. Here, of the three consecutive symbols displayed when the effect reels 40E, reels 40C, and 40R are stopped, the uppermost stop display position is the upper U, the center stop display position is the middle M, and the lowermost. The stop display position on the side is the lower L, and the stop display position of one symbol displayed when the left reel 40L is stopped is the middle M. Although the display window 23 and the left reel 40L are arranged on the right side of the lower stage of the display window 22, they may be arranged on the left side of the display window 22. Further, although 20 symbols are printed on each reel, 21 symbols may be printed.

Further, the display windows 22 and 23 are defined with one effective line that crosses the reels 40L, 40C and 40R. This effective line is composed of a middle horizontal effective line L1 passing through the middle M of each reel in the display windows 22 and 23. In this way, the effective line L1 passes through the middle stage M of the reels 40L, 40C, 40R at the stop display position.

The effective line L1 is a line that serves as a reference when determining a symbol combination corresponding to a plurality of predetermined combinations (described later), and is effective when the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R are stopped. The combination is established when the combination of the three symbols stopped and displayed at the stop display position corresponding to the deemed effective line L1 (hereinafter referred to as the effective line) corresponds to any combination. become.

In addition to the display window 22, the front panel 20 is provided with various lamps and indicators for notifying the player of various information related to the game. First, on the left side of the display window 22, operation instruction lamps 24L, 24C, and 24R are provided in order from the top in FIG. These operation instruction lamps 24L, 24C, 24R instruct the player to operate the stop switches 37L, 37C, 37R, which will be described later, when the reels 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E are rotating. Is. That is, when the operation instruction lamp 24L is lit, the left stop switch 37L and the effect reel 40E are turned on, when the operation instruction lamp 24C is lit, the middle stop switch 37C is turned on, and when the operation instruction lamp 24R is turned on, the right stop switch 37R is turned on. , Indicates that each should be operated.

Below the display window 22, in order from the left in FIG. 1, bet number (bet number) display lamps 26a, 26b, 26c, credit number display 27, and acquired number display 28 are provided. The bet number display lamps 26a, 26b, and 26c display the number of medals to be inserted in one game. That is, when one medal is inserted, only the bet number indicator lamp 26a is lit, when two medals are inserted, the bet number indicator lamps 26a and 26b are lit, and when three medals are inserted, the bet number indicator lamps 26a and 26b are lit. The bet number indicator lamps 26a, 26b, and 26c are lit. Here, the slot machine 10 can play one game by inserting two or three medals (three during the BB game), and the effective line L1 becomes the effective line, two or three. It is a betting machine. The credit number display 27 is composed of a 2-digit 7-segment display, and displays the number of medals credited (stored) in the slot machine 10. The acquired number display 28 is composed of a 2-digit 7-segment display, and displays the number of medals to be paid out to the player according to the result of the game in the slot machine 10.

A substantially horizontal operation panel portion 30 is provided below the front panel 20 described above. A medal insertion slot 32 for inserting medals into the slot machine 10 is provided on the upper right side of the operation panel unit 30. A medal sensor (not shown) is provided inside the medal insertion slot 32, and when a medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 32 is detected, a medal detection signal is output. By counting the number of times the medal detection signal is output, the number of inserted medals can be recognized. Further, on the left side of the upper surface of the operation panel unit 30, a 1-bet switch 34 and a maximum bet switch 35 capable of inserting credited medals into the slot machine 10 are provided. The 1-bet switch 34 is a switch for inserting only one of the medals credited each time the operation is made into the slot machine 10 as a target for betting on the game. The maximum bet switch 35 is a switch for inserting three of the credited medals into the slot machine 10 as a bet target for a game.

When three medals are inserted into the slot machine 10 from the medal insertion slot 32 or by operating various bet switches 34 and 35, the bet number indicator lamps 26a, 26b and 26c are sequentially displayed each time the medals are inserted. It lights up and the effective line L1 becomes the effective line. Further, when medals are inserted by operating various bet switches 34 and 35, the number of inserted medals is subtracted from the number of credits stored in the RAM of the main control circuit described later, and the credits are associated with this. The value displayed on the number indicator 27 is also subtracted. If a specified number (3) of medals have already been inserted and a medal is further inserted from the medal insertion slot 32, the number of inserted medals is stored in the RAM of the main control circuit. It is added to the number and added to the value displayed on the credit number display 27.

A start switch 36 is provided on the left side of the front surface of the operation panel unit 30 so as to be tiltable.

Next, a control circuit that controls the slot machine 10 will be described with reference to the functional block diagram shown in FIG. The control circuits of the slot machine 10 are a main control circuit 100 (a circuit provided on the main control board, also called a main control means) and a sub control circuit 200 (a circuit provided on the sub control board, also called a sub control means). The main control circuit 100 controls the unit game in the slot machine 10, and the sub control circuit 200 controls the unit game in the slot machine 10 based on the information transmitted from the main control circuit 100. Is being controlled. Information transmission between the main control circuit 100 and the sub control circuit 200 is limited to one direction from the main control circuit 100 to the sub control circuit 200, and the sub control circuit 200 to the main control circuit 100. No information is sent directly.

≪Explanation of main control circuit≫
<Hardware configuration of main control circuit and its surroundings>
The main control circuit 100 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an I / O port for exchanging signals with the outside, a random number generator for generating random numbers, and a clock signal for operating the CPU and the like. It is composed of a clock generation circuit that generates an interrupt signal and the like. Here, the random number generator generates random numbers in the numerical range of 0 to 65535. In the main control circuit 100, the operation means 300, the game information display means 400, the motor drive circuit 44, the index sensor 46, the hopper drive circuit 80, the medal payout device 82, and the external centralized terminal board 84 are electrically connected. It is connected to the.

The operation means 300 includes a rotation instruction means 310 including a start switch 36, a stop instruction means 320 including three stop switches 37L, 37C and 37R, and a closing instruction means 330 including a 1-bet switch 34 and a maximum bet switch 35. , The settlement switch 38 and the like. Further, the game information display means 400 is composed of the bet number display lamps 26a to 26c shown in FIG. 1, the credit number display 27, and the acquired number display 28.

The motor drive circuit 44 individually excites the stepping motors 42L, 42C, and 42R for each reel according to the excitation signal output from the main control circuit 100, and rotates or stops the corresponding reels. The index sensors 46L, 46C, and 46R are provided corresponding to the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R, respectively, and when an index provided at the reference position of the corresponding reel is detected, the index sensor 46L, 46C, and 46R are provided at the reference position with respect to the main control circuit 100. Output a signal. As a result, the main control circuit 100 recognizes the rotation position of the reel (in other words, the symbol displayed on the display window 22) based on the number of steps of the stepping motor that started counting from the reference position. Each reel is divided into 336 parts, and one division of the reel rotates and moves by one step of rotation of the stepping motor. The hopper drive circuit 80 drives the medal payout device 82 according to a drive signal output from the main control circuit 100 when paying out medals. Further, the medal payout device 82 outputs a payout signal to the main control circuit 100 each time one medal is paid out, and the main control circuit 100 counts the payout signal to pay out from the medal payout device 82. Control the number of medals to be issued.

The external centralized terminal board 84 is a board that relays the information when the slot machine 10 outputs information about the game currently being performed to the outside. As a result, the slot machine 10 manages, for example, a game information display device separately installed corresponding to the slot machine 10, a game state of each game machine installed in the game hall, and ball ejection. When the information is transmitted to the hall computer, it is performed via the external centralized terminal board 84. Here, the information transmitted from the slot machine 10 to the outside includes a signal (IN signal) indicating that a medal has been inserted into the slot machine 10 when the unit game is performed, and a medal to the player as a result of the unit game. Is paid out (OUT signal), a signal indicating that the game state is "BB game in progress" (BB generation signal), and a signal indicating that the re-game combination has won a prize (RP generation signal). , A signal indicating that an abnormality has occurred in the slot machine 10 (abnormality occurrence signal), a signal indicating that the start switch 36 has been operated (start signal), and an AT execution indicating that the AT described later is being performed. Output a signal. Here, the output trigger of the AT execution signal is when the operation order of winning the bell 4 or the bell 5 is correctly answered twice in succession when the condition device numbers 8 to 11 are won. In addition, when the re-game combination is won, the operation order may be set, and for example, the operation order may be correctly answered three times in a row. Further, the output trigger of the AT execution signal may be when 7 sets are established in the pseudo game.

<Functional block of main control circuit>
Next, the functional block of the main control circuit 100 will be described. The main control circuit 100 includes a winning combination lottery means 110, a reel control means 120, a special effect control means 130, a winning determination means 140, a winning processing means 150, a storage means 160, and an external signal output means 170. Includes. It should be noted that the functions of the means described below are realized by executing the control program stored in the ROM constituting the main control circuit 100 by the CPU.

<Explanation of role lottery means>
The combination lottery means 110 samples a random number generated by a random number generator included in the main control circuit 100 in response to an operation of the start switch 36 by the player, and a predetermined condition device based on the sampled random number. It determines whether any one of (Random number lottery condition devices) is the winning condition device. The condition device includes a condition device including a plurality of combinations. For example, when the condition device of the condition device number 4 is elected, all the combinations (winning combinations) of the bell 1, one piece combination 1 to 14 are duplicated. And you will be elected. In the slot machine 10, as the condition device to be drawn by lottery, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 9, there are condition devices of condition device numbers 0 to 18. Each condition device has a corresponding combination, and each combination is associated with each symbol combination as shown in FIGS. 4 to 9. Then, when the symbol combination stopped and displayed along the effective line L1 shown in FIG. 1 matches the symbol matching of the winning combination determined by the winning combination by the combination lottery, the combination is won.

Next, the relationship between the condition device number and the corresponding combination will be described using the condition device drawn by the combination lottery means 110 and the stop control described in the reel control means 120 described later. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the condition device numbers 0 to 4 and the corresponding combinations. FIG. 4A is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the condition device numbers 0 and 1 in a 3-card bet or a 2-card bet and the corresponding winning combination. FIG. 4B is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the conditional device numbers 2 to 4 in the three-card bet and the corresponding winning combination.
The BBA corresponding to the condition device number 0 shown in FIG. 4A is a winning combination in which the BBA game is started from the next unit game when a prize is won, and the BBB corresponding to the condition device number 1 is the next unit when a prize is won. This is the role in which the BBB game is started from the game. During the BB game, as shown in FIG. 9, a lottery of the condition device is performed from the condition devices of the condition device numbers 2, 17, and 18. Then, when a total of 45 medals are paid out during the BBA, the BBA game ends, and when a total of 10 medals are paid out during the BBB, the BBB game ends. BB is a general term for BBA and BBB. In this embodiment, the BBA or the BBB is won independently, but the winning combination is not limited to this, and the BBA corresponding to the condition device number 0 and the BBB corresponding to the condition device number 1 are won in one lottery. (That is, BBA and BBB may win more than once).

In general, if any combination is won as a result of the combination lottery, the state is cleared when the unit game is completed, regardless of whether the winning combination wins or not. However, when the BB combination is won, even if the BB combination cannot be won in the unit game, the winning state is maintained after the next unit game until the winning. That is, the chance of winning the BB role continues until the BB role wins. Hereinafter, the period during which the winning state of the BB role is maintained is referred to as during bonus carry-over or internal. As will be described later, in the internal combination lottery, the BB combination is not subject to the lottery, and when the BB combination is the winning combination, it is not repeatedly determined as the winning combination. Further, in the following, the state in which the normal game in which the BB role is not won is performed is referred to as "non-internal middle", and the state in which the normal game in which the winning of the BB role is maintained is performed is "internal inside". ". In addition, the term "during a normal game" simply means both "non-internal" and "internal" states unless otherwise defined. In addition, both BBA and BBB roles may be maintained.

Next, in the loss corresponding to the condition device number 2, a symbol combination that does not constitute any combination of combinations is displayed. The re-game combination corresponding to the condition device number 3 is a combination in which, when a prize is won, the game (also referred to as re-game or replay) can be performed again without inserting a medal only in the next unit game. In addition, neither the above-mentioned BB role nor this replay role is paid out as a medal due to the winning of each role. On the other hand, for small wins, a predetermined number of medals will be paid out when a prize is won.

Bells 1 and 1 and 1 to 14 correspond to the role of the condition device of the condition device number 4 in which the condition device name is the left middle right bell. The symbol combination corresponding to each combination is the illustrated symbol combination. For example, the symbol combination corresponding to the bell 1 is (grape-grape-white BAR) corresponding to the reels 40C, 40R, and 40L. ing. Further, the single combinations 1 to 14 also have the same symbol combination as shown.

If the condition device with condition device number 4 is won inside the BBB, the operation order is set, and if the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of left, middle, and right, bell 1 (8 sheets) wins with a 100% probability. If it is operated in the order of left and right, one of the 1-card combination (1 card) will win a prize with 100% probability, and if it is operated in the middle 1st order, any of the 1-card combination (1 card) will be 1 Winning with a probability of / 2, and if operated in the order of the first right, one of the 1-card combination (1 card) will win with a 1/4 probability. in this way,
If the condition device with condition device number 4 is won inside the BBB, (grape-grape-BAR) is displayed on the effective line with a probability of 1/6, and at the same time, the upper U and reel 40L of reels 40C and 40R (bell). -Bell-BAR) is displayed, and Bell 1 (8 pieces) can be won. Further, since the reel 40E is an effect reel, the stop symbol may be changed according to the operation order of the stop switch 37, and it becomes easier to recognize when the bell stops at the upper stage of the effect reel 40E. Then, by displaying the "Bell A" symbol of the effect reel 40E on the upper U, the combination of the bell symbols is displayed in a straight line at a position different from the effective line, so that the player recognizes that the bell has won a prize. Can be done.

When the condition device of the condition device number 4 is elected inside the BBB and the left stop switch 37L is operated for the first time, the "white BAR" symbol of the left reel 40L is stopped and controlled on the effective line. When the middle stop switch 37C is operated second after the left stop switch 37L is operated, the "grape" symbol of the middle reel 40C is stopped and controlled on the effective line because the operation order is correct. On the other hand, if the left stop switch 37L is operated and then the right stop switch 37R is operated second, the operation order is incorrect, so that one of the winning combinations 2, 3, 5, and 6 is awarded. Either the "bell A" symbol or the "bell B" symbol of the right reel 40R is stopped and controlled on the effective line by the number priority stop control described later. The control for stopping the symbol corresponding to any one of the single-card combination 2, 3, 5, and 6 will be described later.

When the left stop switch 37L is operated, the middle stop switch 37C is operated second, and the right stop switch 37R is operated third, the operation order is correct, so the "grape" symbol on the right reel 40R is valid. Stopped on the line. On the other hand, if the left stop switch 37L is operated, then the right stop switch 37R is operated second, and the middle stop switch 37C is operated third, the operation order is incorrect, so the single reels 3, 6 The "replay" symbol of the middle reel 40C is stopped and controlled on the effective line in order to win any of the above.

When the condition device of the condition device number 4 is elected inside the BBB and the middle stop switch 37C is operated for the first time, the "bell A" symbol of the middle reel 40C is stopped on the effective line. In this example, the symbol corresponding to the middle reel 40C of the combination included in the condition device number 4 corresponds to the "bell A" symbol corresponding to the 1-card combination 7 to 10 or the 1-sheet combination 1, 2, 4, 5 When the number of "black BAR" symbols is the largest at 4, and the operation order is incorrect, the largest number of "bell A" symbols or "black BAR" symbols is stopped and controlled on the effective line. This stop control is called number priority stop control. In this example, the stop symbol of the middle reel 40C will be described as being a “bell A” symbol.

When the right stop switch 37R is operated second after the "Bell A" symbol is stopped on the middle reel 40C, the "grape" symbol or the "cherry" symbol is used to win the 1-card combination 7-10. Stop control is performed to stop on the effective line. As can be seen from the symbol arrangement on the right reel in FIG. 2, the "grape" symbol or the "cherry" symbol is arranged with a maximum of four symbols sandwiched between them (arranged within the interval of four symbols), so there is a 100% probability. Can be pulled on the effective line with. When the left stop switch 37L is operated third, stop control is performed to stop the "bell A" symbol or the "bell B" symbol on the effective line in order to win the winning combination 7-10. As can be seen from the symbol arrangement on the left reel in FIG. 2, the "bell A" symbol or the "bell B" symbol is arranged in a position where it is pulled in when the stop operation is performed in the range of symbol numbers 10 to 19. It is drawn on the effective line with a probability of 1/2.

Therefore, when the middle stop switch 37C is operated for the first time, there is a 1/2 chance that any one of the winning combinations 7 to 10 will win a prize. Similarly, when the operation order is incorrect, the number priority stop control is performed at the time of the first stop, and after the second stop, the stop control for winning the winning combination is performed based on the number priority stop control.

When the condition device of condition device number 4 is elected inside the BBB and the right stop switch 37R is operated for the first time, the "replay" symbol of the right reel 40R is stopped on the effective line. In this example, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 40R of the combination included in the condition device number 4 has the largest number of "replay" symbols corresponding to the single combination 11 to 14, and the operation order is incorrect. The largest number of "replay" symbols are stopped and controlled on the effective line.

Second, when the middle stop switch 37C is operated, stop control is performed to stop the "Red 7" symbol or the "Watermelon" symbol on the effective line in order to win any of the single winning combinations 11-14. .. As can be seen from the symbol arrangement on the right reel in FIG. 2, the "red 7" symbol or the "watermelon" symbol is arranged at a position where it is pulled in when the stop operation is performed in the range of symbol numbers 8 to 17. It is drawn on the effective line with a probability of / 2. When the left stop switch 37L is operated third, stop control is performed to stop the "replay" symbol or the "blank" symbol on the effective line in order to win any of the single winning combinations 11-14. As can be seen from the symbol arrangement on the left reel in FIG. 2, the "replay" symbol or the "blank" symbol is arranged in the position where it is pulled in when the stop operation is performed in the range of symbol numbers 0 to 9, so that 1 / It is drawn on the effective line with a probability of 2.

Therefore, when the right stop switch 37R is operated for the first time, there is a 1/4 chance that any of the 1-card winning combinations 11 to 14 will win a prize. Similarly, when the operation order is incorrect, the number priority stop control is performed at the time of the first stop, and after the second stop, the stop control for winning the winning combination is performed based on the number priority stop control.

Further, when the condition device of the condition device number 4 is won in the non-internal or inside the BBA, the operation order is set, and when the stop switch 37 is operated in the left first order, the bell 1 (8 sheets) is 100%. If you win in the first order, Bell 1 (8 cards) will win 100%, and if you operate in the first right order, you will win one card (1 card). There is a 1/4 chance of winning a prize. In this way, if the conditional device of the conditional device number 4 is won in the non-internal or internal BBA, the bell 1 (8 pieces) can be won with a probability of 2/3.

As described above, when the condition device of the condition device number 4 is elected inside the BBA or inside the BBB, the condition device number 4 and the BBA are simultaneously elected, or the condition device number 4 and the BBB are It can be regarded as winning at the same time. Therefore, even if the condition device number 4 is won, it can be considered that the winning condition device is different between the non-internal or BBA internal (non-internal, BBA internal) and the BBB internal. The operation order in which one card combination can be won can be set to a different operation order in the non-internal or in the BBA and in the BBB. Therefore, the small winning combination that can be won can be set differently in the non-internal or BBA internal (non-internal, BBA internal) and the BBB internal.

In this way, if the condition device with the condition device number 11 is won inside the BBB, the bell 5 (8 sheets) can be won with a probability of 1/6.

When the condition device of the condition device number 11 is won in the non-internal or inside the BBA, the operation order is set, and when the stop switch 37 is operated in the left first order, one of the one-card combination (one card) is set. Win a prize with a probability of 1/4, and if any of the 1-card combination (1 card) is operated in the order of middle 1st, a prize will be won with a probability of 1/4, and if it is operated in the order of right, left, 1 card If any of the roles (1 card) wins with a probability of 1/2, and the bell 5 (8 cards) is operated in the order of right, middle, and left, the bell 5 (8 cards) wins with a 100% probability. In this way, if the conditional device of the conditional device number 11 is won in the non-internal or internal BBA, the bell 5 (8 pieces) can be won with a probability of 1/6.

Watermelons 1 to 4 and 1 sheet combination 60 correspond to the role of the condition device of the condition device number 12 whose condition device name is watermelon. If the condition device of the condition device number 12 is won in the non-internal, the BBA internal, or the BBB internal, any one of the watermelons 1 to 4 and the 1-card combination 60 can be won according to the operation of the stop switch 37. ..

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the conditional device numbers 13 to 16 in the two-card bet and the corresponding winning combination. Bell 1 corresponds to the role of the condition device of the condition device number 13 in which the condition device name is the common winning combination A for betting two cards. If the conditional device of the conditional device number 13 is won in the non-internal, the BBA internal, or the BBB internal, the bell 1 (2 sheets) wins with a 100% probability regardless of the operation order.

The bell 2 corresponds to the role of the condition device of the condition device number 14 in which the condition device name is the common winning combination B for two bets. If the conditional device of the conditional device number 14 is won in the non-internal, the BBA internal, or the BBB internal, the bell 2 (2 sheets) wins with a 100% probability regardless of the operation order. The bell 4 corresponds to the role of the condition device of the condition device number 15 in which the condition device name is the common winning combination C for two bets. If the conditional device of the conditional device number 15 is won in the non-internal, the BBA internal, or the BBB internal, the bell 4 (2 sheets) wins with a 100% probability regardless of the operation order. The bell 5 corresponds to the role of the condition device of the condition device number 16 in which the condition device name is the common winning combination D for two bets. If the conditional device of the conditional device number 16 is won in the non-internal, the BBA internal, or the BBB internal, the bell 5 (2 sheets) wins with a 100% probability regardless of the operation order.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the conditional device numbers 2, 17, and 18 in the three-card bet and the corresponding winning combination. In the loss corresponding to the condition device number 2, a symbol combination that does not constitute any combination of combinations is displayed. Bells 1 to 5 and watermelon correspond to the role of the condition device of condition device number 17 whose condition device name is all small winning combination ALL, and when bells 1 to 5 and watermelon win, eight cards are paid out. The role of the condition device of the condition device number 18 in which the condition device name is one small combination ALL corresponds to the combination of one piece 1 to 60, and if the combination of one piece wins, one piece is paid out.

Next, with reference to the winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 10, the winning probability of each lottery target in the winning combination lottery will be described. The winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 10 is a random number value (an integer of 0 to 65535) generated by the random number generator of the main control circuit 100 for each lottery target in the non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal. Among them, the number of numerical values considered to be won (hereinafter referred to as a random number) is shown. Since the random number value "0" is also included in the numerical value, the number of random number values that can be generated by the random number generator is 65536. Therefore, the winning probability of each lottery target is a value obtained by dividing the corresponding number by 65536. Further, the winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 10 is a winning combination lottery table common to "setting 1" to "setting 6".

In the winning combination lottery table shown in this figure, the number of the conditional device number 0 whose conditional device name is BBA is 4300 in the non-internal 3-card bet and 1 in the non-internal 2-card bet. The number of the conditional device number 1 whose conditional device name is BBB is 1 in the non-internal 3-card bet and 4300 in the non-internal 2-card bet. The number of the conditional device number 0 whose conditional device name is BBA is 0 in the bet of two cards inside the non-internal, and the number of the conditional device number 1 whose conditional device name is BBB is three inside the non-internal. It may be 0 in the bet. Further, the number placed in the two-card bet may be any number as long as it is less than 4,300, which is the number placed in the three-card bet with the conditional device number 0 whose conditional device name is BBA. Further, the number of bets in the three-card bet may be any number as long as it is less than 4,300, which is the number of bets in the two-card bet of the condition device number 1 whose conditional device name is BBB. In addition, the lottery of BBA and BBB is not performed inside BBA and inside BBB.

The number of condition device numbers 2 for which the condition device name is lost is 0 for a 3-card bet inside the non-internal, 0 for a 2-card bet inside the non-internal, 17930 for a 3-card bet inside the BBA, and inside the BBA. It is 8558 for a 2-card bet, 0 for a 3-card bet inside the BBB, and 0 for a 2-card bet inside the BBB. In this way, the loss may be selected only within the BBA. Even in the non-internal or BBB internal, the number of the conditional device number 2 whose condition device name is lost may be set to 1 or more so that the loss is determined. Then, when the loss is determined, AT or a privilege may be given.

The number of the conditional device number 3 whose conditional device name is replay is 8978 for a 3-card bet inside the non-internal, 8978 for a 2-card bet inside the non-internal, 8978 for a 3-card bet inside the BBA, and inside the BBA. It is 8978 in the two-card bet, 26908 in the three-card bet inside the BBB, and 17536 in the two-card bet inside the BBB.

The number of condition device numbers 4 whose condition device name is left middle right bell is 2820 in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal bets, and 2 in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal. It is 0 in the bet. Further, the number of the conditional device numbers 5 to 7 is 2820, the number of the non-internal, the inside of the BBA, and the BBB in the three-card bet in the non-internal, the BBA internal, and the BBB internal, as in the case of the conditional device number 4. It is 0 in the two-card bet inside.

The number of condition device numbers 8 and 9 whose condition device name is right, left, and middle bells is 13300 in the three bets of non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal, non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal. It is 0 in the two-card bet. The number placed in the three-card bet inside the BBA and inside the BBB is described as 13300, which indicates that the condition device number 8 is set to 6650 and the condition device 9 is set to 6650. In this embodiment, the right first stop operation may increase the number of medals at normal times. In order to prevent the symbols that have one card combination from being determined when the first stop is correct and the second stop is incorrect, the condition device corresponding to the right, left, and middle bells is used as the condition device numbers 8 and 9-2. It is divided into two types of condition devices, and two types of condition devices corresponding to the right, left, and middle bells are provided. Further, the condition device numbers 10 and 11 have the same configuration. The number of the conditional device numbers 10 and 11 is the same as the number of the conditional device numbers 8 and 9. The number of condition device number 12 whose condition device name is watermelon is 748 in a three-card bet in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal, and in a two-card bet in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal. It is 0.

In FIG. 10, the conditional devices in which the role of Belle wins are the conditional device numbers 4 to 11. The left first correct answer condition device is the condition device numbers 4 and 5, the middle first correct answer condition device is the condition device numbers 6 and 7, and the right first correct answer condition device is the condition device. , Conditional device numbers 8 to 11. The total number of values of the conditional devices of the conditional device numbers 4 and 5 is 5640, and the conditional device number 6
, 7 condition devices have a total of 5640 values, and condition device numbers 8 to 11 have a total of 26600 values. The ratio of the left first correct answer, the middle first correct answer, and the right first correct answer is 1.5: 1.5: 7.

For this reason, if the right first stop operation is performed during normal times during non-AT, it will be easier for the bell role to win a prize, so a penalty will be imposed if the right first stop operation is performed during normal times during non-AT. It has become. The details of the penalty will be described later.

The condition that the bell winning operation order correct answer is 2 out of 3 correct answers (for example, right first correct answer, middle first correct answer) is inside non-internal and inside BBA (see FIGS. 4 to 7). Bell winning operation order The condition that one of the six correct answers is correct is inside the BBB (see FIGS. 4 to 7).

Since the probability of winning the re-game is higher inside the BBB than inside the BBA, even if one of the six correct answers in the bell winning operation order is correct, the expected value of the ball to be ejected, which will be described later, can be kept high (50 cards). You can increase the number of games you can play if you have medals). On the other hand, if one of the six choices is correct in the non-internal and BBA internals, the re-game winning probability is lower than in the BBB internal (the reason why the re-game winning probability is low is to facilitate the winning of the BBA). , The expected value of the ball output becomes low, which may cause discomfort to the player. Therefore, by increasing the probability of the correct answer in the order of winning the bell, the payout by the bell is increased and the expected value of the ball is kept high. In this way, the stop control for the bell to win a prize is changed according to the game state (BB winning state).

The number of the conditional device numbers 13 to 16 in which the conditional device names are two-card bets common roles A to D is 0 in the non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal three-card bets, non-internal, and BBA internal. And 2 bets inside the BBB are 12000 each. The symbol combinations corresponding to the condition device numbers 13 to 16 correspond to the symbol combinations corresponding to the bell 1, the bell 2, the bell 4, and the bell 5, respectively. The number of bells 1, bell 2, bell 4, and bell 5 paid out in the conditional device numbers 4 to 11 in the three-card bet is eight, and the bell 1, bell 2, and bell 4 in the conditional device numbers 13 to 16 in the two-card bet are paid out. , The number of bells 5 to be paid out is two. In this way, even if the same symbol combination is displayed on the valid line when the number of bets is different, the number of payouts is different. In addition, the condition device and the number of positions to be placed in the winning combination lottery may be set differently according to the number of bets. Further, the number of effective lines and the effective line position may be changed according to the number of bets.

The winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 11 is regarded as winning among the random numbers (integers of 0 to 65535) generated by the random number generator of the main control circuit 100 for each lottery target in BBA and BBB. Shows the number of numbers. The number of the conditional device number 2 in which the conditional device name is lost is 100 in the three-card bet. The number of placements of the condition device number 17 whose condition device name is all small winning combination ALL is 16384 in a three-card bet, and the number of placements of the condition device number 18 whose condition device name is one-card winning combination ALL is 49052 in a three-card bet. It has become. During BBA and BBB, the two-card betting game is not performed. In all small winning combinations ALL, any of bells 1 to 5 can be won, but bells 1 to 5 are composed of a combination of symbols that can be won even if the stop operation is performed at an arbitrary position. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the bell 1 is designed to win when all the small winning combination ALLs are won, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any symbol combination is displayed according to the stop position. You may.

Further, in the non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal, the probability that the bell 1 is won is 5640/65535 when the conditional devices of the conditional device numbers 4 and 5 are won (see FIG. 10). On the other hand, in BBA or BBB, the probability that Bell 1 is won is 16384/65535 when the condition device of condition device number 17 is won (see FIG. 11). As described above, the probability that the bell 1 is won in the BBA or the BBB is set higher than the probability that the bell 1 is won in the non-internal, the BBA internal, and the BBB internal. Furthermore, in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal, the bell 1 will not win unless the operation order is correct, and in the BBA and BBB, the bell 1 can be won in any operation order. Among them, the one in BBB is more likely to get the payout of 8 payouts corresponding to Bell 1.

However, from the viewpoint of the combination of symbols such as Bell 1, it is advantageous in BB (in terms of winning probability), but it is in non-BB that there are many opportunities to pay out eight cards. If the operation order is correctly answered during AT, the probability of acquiring bells 1 to 5 and watermelon is 38628/65535, so that the number of times that non-BB can obtain a payout of 8 payouts is larger than that during BB. In this way, it is possible to provide game playability having different advantages depending on the game state such as AT.

Further, when the condition device of the condition device number 17 is elected during BBA or BBB, the operation order is set, and when the stop switch 37 is operated in the left first order, the bell 1 (8 sheets) is 100%. Bell 1 (8 pieces) wins with a probability of 100% when operated in the middle first order, and bells (8 pieces) other than bell 1 when operated in the right first order. Any one of them may win a prize with a 100% probability. At this time, the probability that the bell 1 is stopped and displayed on the effective line is 16384 when the bell 1 is won in the operation order of the left first or the middle first when the condition device of the condition device number 17 is won. Is 2/3, so it is 10923/65535 (see FIG. 11). In this way, even if the operation order in which the bell 1 wins when the conditional device of the conditional device number 17 is won is set, the probability that the bell 1 is stopped and displayed on the valid line during BBA or BBB is non-internal. It can be set to be higher than the probability (5640/65535) that the bell 1 is stopped and displayed on the effective line in the middle, inside the BBA, or inside the BBB.

<Explanation of transition diagram of game state>
FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state by taking BBB as an example. Here, the state in which the winning probability of the re-game combination is increased inside the BBB or the state inside the BBA is referred to as "RT", and the state in which the re-game role is inside (not inside) is called "RT". A state in which the winning probability is lower than in the BBB is called "non-RT". With reference to FIG. 12, the transition of the game state (in other words, the game state that the main control circuit 100 can directly recognize) from the viewpoint of the winning combination lottery will be described. Immediately after the slot machine 10 is shipped from the factory. Alternatively, after the setting is changed, it is in "non-RT", and the winning probability of the re-game combination is about 1 / 7.29. Then, when the BBA or BBB is won in this gaming state, it shifts to "RT" in which the winning probability of the re-game combination is 1 / 2.43 to 1 / 7.29. The state during "RT" continues until BBA or BBB wins, and the symbol combination of "Blank-White BAR-Cherry" is aligned on the effective line L1 and BBA wins or "Blank-Blank-" on the effective line L1. When the BBB wins with all the symbol combinations of "cherry", the BBA or BBB game is started from the next unit game. Then, when the total number of medals paid out during the "BBA game" exceeds 10, or when the total number of medals paid out during the "BBB game" exceeds 45, the game state is restored. It will be in "non-RT". In this way, the slot machine 10 cyclically transitions between three game states of "non-RT", "RT", and "BB game". Further, when the vehicle is inside the BBB, the RT state inside the BBB is maintained even if the power is turned off, so that once the RT state is entered, it becomes difficult to shift to the non-RT state. Further, when it is inside the BBB, the RT state inside the BBB is cleared when the setting is changed, but the RT state inside the BBB may be maintained even if the setting is changed.

<Explanation of reel control means>
Returning to FIG. 3, the reel control means 120 controls the rotation drive of the reels 40L, 40C, 40R, and 40E. That is, when the start switch 36 is operated by the player, the motor drive circuit 44 starts the rotation of the stepping motors 42L, 42C, 42R, and 42E. Then, the rotation speeds of the reels 40L, 40C, 40R, and 40E are accelerated, and when the rotation speed reaches 80 rotations per minute, the rotation speed shifts to constant speed rotation, and the operation of the stop switches 37L, 37C, 37R becomes effective. To do. The effect reel 40E may be controlled by the sub-control circuit 200.

When any of the stop switches is operated by the player after the operations of the stop switches 37L, 37C, and 37R are enabled, the reel stop control means 122 controls the stop of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch ( Normal stop control) is performed. During a normal game, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch within 190 milliseconds. Therefore, since the constant speed rotation speed is about 80 rotations / minute and the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 20, the reel stop control means 122 can be used from the reel position when the stop switch is operated. The reel will be stopped until it moves by a maximum of about 5.07 symbols. Here, as described above, in order to eliminate the variation in the stop position of the symbol, there is a restriction that the reel must be stopped so that the symbol on the reel is stopped and displayed at a fixed position. Therefore, even if it is desired to stop the reel immediately, it may be necessary to rotate the reel by about one symbol depending on the operation timing of the stop switch. Therefore, considering the width of this amount, the stop controllable range (that is, the number of sliding frames is 5) is the period from the operation of the stop switch to the rotation of the reels for up to 4 symbols.

Therefore, when the reel stop control means 122 performs the pull-in control, there is a symbol that constitutes a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination among the four symbols upstream from the effective line when the stop switch is operated. At that time, the rotation of the reel is stopped so that the symbol is stopped and displayed on the effective line L1. On the other hand, when the reel stop control means 122 performs kicking control, the reels are rotated so that the symbol combination corresponding to some combination is not stopped and displayed on the effective line L1 by the time all the reels are stopped. Stop it.

Further, the reel stop control means 122 receives the reference position signals output from the index sensors 46L, 46C, 46R shown in FIG. 3 and the excitation signals output from the motor drive circuit 44 to the stepping motors 42L, 42C, 42R, respectively. The pattern displayed on the display window 22 is recognized based on the number of times the pattern is updated (that is, the number of times each stepping motor has rotated by one step). As for the method of recognizing the symbol on the reel, since the conventional method can be adopted, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Assuming the above-mentioned reel stop control, the symbol arrangement of each reel shown in FIG. 2A and the symbol combination corresponding to each combination shown in FIGS. 4 to 9 are arranged on the left reel 40L. Since the "white BAR" symbol and the "replay" symbols arranged on the reels 40C and 40R are arranged with a maximum of four symbols sandwiched between them, the combination lottery corresponds to the condition device number 3 during the normal game. When the reel player wins, no matter when the stop switch is operated, the prize can always be won.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the condition device of the condition device number 4 is elected inside the BBB, the bell 1 and the 1-card combination 1 to 14 are simultaneously elected. At this time, the reel stop control means 122 wins the bell 1 when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of left middle right stop, and when the stop switch 37 is operated in any other order, the timing is that. Reel stop control is performed to win any one of the winning combinations 1 to 14 according to the above. Further, when the condition device of the condition device number 4 is elected in the non-internal or the BBA internal, the reel stop control means 122 operates when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of the left first stop or the middle first stop. When the bell 1 is won and the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of the first right stop, the reel stop control is performed so that any one of the winning combinations 1 to 14 is won according to the timing.

Further, when the condition device of the condition device number 5 is won inside the BBB, the bell 1 and the 1-card combination 1 to 6, 15 to 22 are simultaneously won. At this time, the reel stop control means 122 wins the bell 1 when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of left / right middle stop, and when the stop switch is operated in any other order, it corresponds to the timing. The reel stop control is performed so that any one of the winning combinations 1 to 6 and 15 to 22 is won. Further, when the condition device of the condition device number 5 is elected in the non-internal or inside the BBA, the reel stop control means 122 operates when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of the left first stop or the middle first stop. When the bell 1 is won and the stop switch is operated in the order of the first right stop, the reel stop control is performed so that one of the winning combinations 1 to 6 and 15 to 22 is won according to the timing. ..

When the condition device of the condition device number 6 is elected inside the BBB, the bells 2, 3 and the 1-card combination 1-3, 7-10, 23-27 are simultaneously elected. At this time, the reel stop control means 122 wins the bell 2 or the bell 3 when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of middle / left / right stop, and when the stop switch is operated in any other order, the reel stop control means 122 is used. Reel stop control is performed to win any one of the winning combinations 1-3, 7-10, and 23-27 according to the timing. Further, when the condition device of the condition device number 6 is elected in the non-internal or inside the BBA, the reel stop control means 122 operates when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of the left first stop or the middle first stop. Bell 2 or Bell 3 is won, and when the stop switch is operated in the order of the first right stop, one of the 1-card combination 1-3, 7-10, 23-27 is won according to the timing. The reel stop control is performed so as to.

When the condition device of the condition device number 7 is won in the inside of the BBB, the bells 2, 3 and the 1-card combination 4 to 6, 23, 28 to 33 are simultaneously won. At this time, the reel stop control means 122 wins the bell 2 or the bell 3 when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of middle right and left stop, and when the stop switch is operated in any other order, the reel stop control means 122 is used. Reel stop control is performed to win any one of the winning combinations 4 to 6, 23, and 28 to 33 according to the timing. Further, when the condition device of the condition device number 7 is elected in the non-internal or inside the BBA, the reel stop control means 122 operates when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of the left first stop or the middle first stop. When the bell 2 or bell 3 is won and the stop switch is operated in the order of the first right stop, one of the winning reels 4-6, 23, 28-33 is won according to the timing. Performs reel stop control.

When the condition device of the condition device number 8 is won in the inside of the BBB, the inside of the non-inside, or the inside of the BBA, the bell 4 and the 1-card combination 15, 16, 34 to 39 are simultaneously won. At this time, the reel stop control means 122 wins the bell 4 when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of right / left middle stop, and when the stop switch is operated in any other order, the reel stop control means 122 responds to the timing. The reel stop control is performed so that any one of the winning combination 15, 16, 34 to 39 is won.

When the condition device of the condition device number 9 is won in the inside of the BBB, the inside of the non-inside, or the inside of the BBA, the bell 4 and the 1-card combination 7, 8, 40 to 45 are simultaneously won. At this time, the reel stop control means 122 wins the bell 4 when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of right / left middle stop, and when the stop switch is operated in any other order, the reel stop control means 122 responds to the timing. The reel stop control is performed so that any one of the winning combination 7, 8, 40 to 45 is won.

When the condition device of the condition device number 10 is won in the inside of the BBB, the inside of the non-inside, or the inside of the BBA, the bell 5 and the single combination 46 to 53 are won at the same time. At this time, the reel stop control means 122 wins the bell 5 when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of right, middle, and left stop, and when the stop switch is operated in any other order, the timing is changed. Correspondingly, the reel stop control is performed so that any one of the one-card combination 46 to 53 is won.

When the condition device of the condition device number 11 is won in the inside of the BBB, the inside of the non-inside, or the inside of the BBA, the bell 5 and the 1-card combination 9, 10, 54 to 59 are simultaneously won. At this time, the reel stop control means 122 wins the bell 5 when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of right, middle, and left stop, and when the stop switch is operated in any other order, the timing is changed. Depending on the situation, the reel stop control is performed so that any one of the winning combinations 9, 10, 54 to 59 is won.

In this way, when any of the condition devices of the condition device numbers 4 to 11 is won, the reel stop control means 122 changes the small winning combination according to the operation order of the stop switches 37L, 37C, 37R. There is. In the reel stop control described above, when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 4 to 11 are won in the BBB, the bells 1 to 5 are operated in one of the six operation sequences (probability of 1/6). Either one wins. In addition, if the conditional device with the conditional device numbers 4 to 7 is won in the non-internal or the BBA internal, any of the bells 1 to 5 is performed in two operation sequences (probability of 2/3) in the three operation sequences. Kato wins a prize. Further, when the conditional devices of the conditional device numbers 8 to 11 are won in the non-internal or the BBA internal, any of the bells 1 to 5 is performed in one of the six operation sequences (probability of 1/6). Kato wins a prize.

In addition, since the state in which the BB combination is won is maintained inside, the BB combination and the small combination or the replay combination are in the winning state at the same time. In this case, the reel stop control means 122 performs reel stop control for preferentially winning a replay combination or a small combination.

There is no loss in the role lottery table inside the BBB shown in FIG. 10, but for example, a loss is provided in the combination lottery table with the number corresponding to the loss being 1, and when the loss is drawn, the BB role is played. You may try to win a prize. In addition, a small winning combination may be provided on the winning combination lottery table so that the BB winning combination wins when the small winning combination is missed. In addition, the BB role may win a prize when one piece or watermelon is missed.
Here, the term "missing" means that the symbols corresponding to the winning combination cannot be arranged, and the privilege corresponding to the winning combination cannot be obtained and the privilege disappears. In the case of missing, a prize was won because the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination could not be drawn in, and the small winning combination whose operation order was determined to win was not operated in the specified operation order. There are some things that I missed when I didn't.

<Explanation of special effect control means>
The special effect control means 130 determines whether or not to perform a special effect in the unit game in the non-internal, the BBA internal, or the BBB internal. The special effect control means 130 executes a special effect (pseudo game) when any of the bells 4 and 5 wins a prize twice in total when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 8 to 11 are won. It is not limited to winning a total of two times, but may be based on the number of correct answers in the operation order or the output of a signal to the outside of the slot machine.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the contents of a special effect (pseudo game). In the main control circuit 100, when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 8 to 11 are won and any of the bells 4 and 5 wins a prize twice in total, the start switch 36 is operated with the number of inserted sheets being 2 inside the BBB. When this is done, the execution of the special effect (suspending the function of the pseudo game or the operating means) is determined. When the special effect number PD is 0, it indicates that a normal game is being performed, and normal stop control is performed. When the condition devices of the condition device numbers 8 to 11 are won and any of the bells 4 and 5 wins a total of 2 times, A is set as the special production number PD, and the pseudo game in which the pseudo 7 sets are aligned once is performed once. Will be done. Further, when the start switch 36 is first operated with the number of inserted sheets being 2 inside the BBB, B is set as the special effect number PD, and a special effect is performed in which the function of the operating means is suspended. Then, when the special effect in which the function of the operating means is suspended is released, C is set as the special effect number PD. Further, the sub-control circuit 200 starts AT when the special effect A is performed.

When the special effect B is determined, the main control circuit 100 suspends the function of the operating means. For example, the signal from the operating means is not received for 5 seconds. The pseudo combination displayed in the pseudo game is not limited to the pseudo 7 alignment, but the pseudo bell combination, the pseudo replay combination, the pseudo watermelon combination, and the pseudo BAR alignment having the same symbol combination as the combination determined by the combination lottery means 110. It may be a role or the like.

FIG. 13B is a diagram showing the contents of the flag A and the fluctuation fluctuation flag. A gaming state in which flag A is 1 (off) indicates a normal gaming state in which a normal game is being performed, and a gaming state in which flag A is 2 (on) is a pseudo-gaming state in which a pseudo game is being performed. Indicates that. The sway fluctuation flag is turned on for each reel 40 when it is in the sway fluctuation state, and is turned off when it is not in the sway fluctuation state.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the contents of the transition operation order to the pseudo game. The bell 4 which is the role of the condition device of the condition device numbers 8 and 9 whose condition device names are right and left middle bells 1 and 2 is the stop switch 37 in the right first order, the left second order, and the middle third order. Wins when is operated. Further, the bells 5 that serve as the condition devices of the condition device numbers 10 and 11 whose condition device names are right, middle, and left bells 1 and 2 are in the order of the first right, the second middle, and the third left. A prize is won when the stop switch 37 is operated. Then, when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 8 to 11 are won, the main control circuit 100 performs a pseudo game when the bells 4 or 5 win the prize twice in succession.

In this embodiment, it was necessary to win a total of two bells 4 or 5 as a condition for executing the special effect A, but the operation is not limited to this, and the operation determined by the operation order lottery when the re-game combination is won. The special effect A may be executed by manipulating the order twice.

<Explanation of the number of sliding frames table for normal games>
The normal game sliding frame number table defines information on the stop position of the reel 40 according to the symbol number of the reel 40 when the stop switch 37 is operated. Specifically, the stop switch 37 is operated. At which position within the range of the maximum number of movable symbols (maximum number of sliding frames, 5 frames) that can be moved from the symbol position of the reel 40 is determined according to the symbol number of the reel 40 at the time when the reel 40 is stopped. It is a fixed one.

In the normal game sliding frame number table, the number of frames that can be moved from this reference symbol number (from 1 frame to 5 frames) is set as the reference symbol number when the symbol of the reel 40 is located on the middle line L1. Any symbol number within the range of is defined as the stop position.

FIG. 15 is a normal game sliding frame number table selected when the condition device of the condition device number 4 is won. FIG. 15A is a diagram showing a correspondence relationship between the symbol number at the time when the stop operation is accepted and the number of sliding frames until the reel 40 is stopped. When the condition device of the condition device number 4 is won, the slide frame number table for normal games corresponding to each of the reels 40L, 40C, 40R, and 40E is selected. For example, when the "white BAR" symbol of symbol number 9 on the left reel 40L is located on the middle line L1 of the left reel, if the stop operation of the left stop switch 37L is accepted, it slips three frames and "white BAR" of symbol number 12. It is shown that "white BAR" is stopped at the left reel middle stage line L1 (see FIG. 15B). Further, when the "cherry" symbol of the symbol number 10 of the effect reel 40E is located on the middle line L1, the left stop switch 37L
When the stop operation of is accepted, it indicates that the "grape" of symbol number 15 is stopped at the middle line L1 by slipping 5 frames.

Similarly, when the "grape" symbol of symbol number 10 on the middle reel 40C is located on the middle line L1, if the stop operation of the middle stop switch 37C is accepted, the "grape" of symbol number 15 slips 5 frames. It is shown that the symbol is stopped at the middle line L1 (see FIG. 15C).
Further, when the "replay" symbol of symbol number 10 on the right reel 40R is located on the middle line L1, if the stop operation of the right stop switch 37R is accepted, the "grape" symbol of symbol number 11 slips one frame. Is stopped at the middle line L1 (see FIG. 15D).

<Explanation of the number of sliding frames table for pseudo games>
The pseudo-game sliding frame number table defines information on the pseudo-stop position of the reel 40 according to the symbol number of the reel 40 when the stop switch 37 is operated, and corresponds to the pseudo-game according to the pseudo-game. The slip frame number table is selected. More specifically, in the range of the maximum number of movable symbols (maximum number of sliding frames, 20 frames) that can be moved from the symbol position of the reel 40 according to the symbol number of the reel 40 at the time when the stop switch 37 is operated. It defines at which position the reel 40 is stopped.

FIG. 16 is a pseudo-game sliding frame number table selected when a pseudo stop of 7 pseudo-stops is determined. FIG. 16A is a diagram showing a correspondence relationship between the symbol number at the time when the stop operation is accepted and the number of sliding frames until the reel 40 is stopped. When the pseudo stop of the pseudo 7 sets is determined, the pseudo game sliding frame number table corresponding to each of the reels 40L, 40C, 40R, and 40E is selected. For example, when the "white BAR" symbol of symbol number 9 on the left reel 40L is located on the middle line L1 of the left reel, if the stop operation of the left stop switch 37L is accepted, it slips three frames and "white BAR" of symbol number 12. It is shown that the "white BAR" symbol is stopped at the left reel middle line L1 (see FIG. 16B). Further, when the "replay" symbol of the symbol number 12 of the effect reel 40E is located on the middle line L1, if the stop operation of the left stop switch 37L is accepted, it slips 5 frames and "red 7" of the symbol number 17. Indicates that is stopped at the middle line L1.

Similarly, when the "replay" symbol of symbol number 12 on the middle reel 40C is located on the middle line L1, if the stop operation of the middle stop switch 37C is accepted, it slips one frame and "red 7" of symbol number 10. It is shown that the symbol is stopped at the middle line L1 (see FIG. 16C).
Further, when the "bell B" symbol of symbol number 12 on the right reel 40R is located on the middle line L1, if the stop operation of the right stop switch 37R is accepted, it slips two frames and "red 7" of symbol number 10. It is shown that the symbol is stopped at the middle line L1 (see FIG. 16D).

Further, the reels 40L, 40C, 40R, and 40E swing and fluctuate so that the player can recognize that the reels are a pseudo game different from the normal game after the pseudo stop.

The slide frame number table for the pseudo game is used in the reel effect or the pseudo game during the freeze effect described later. The number of sliding frames for pseudo-games includes a table in which the reels 40 rotate in the forward direction (in the display window 22 shown in FIG. 1 in the direction in which the symbols move from the top to the bottom) to form 7 alignments, and a table on the left. On the reel 40L, the "red 7" symbol is displayed as a pseudo stop at a position half symbol upward from the middle line L1, on the middle reel 40C, the "red 7" symbol is displayed as a pseudo stop on the middle line L1, and on the right reel 40R, "red". 7 ”The design is the middle line L
A table in which a pseudo stop is displayed at a position separated from 1 in the downward direction of the symbol and a table in which the reel 40 rotates in the forward direction or in the direction opposite to the forward direction to form the red 7 alignment may be provided.

In the reel production or the pseudo game, it is not necessary to use the above-mentioned table for the number of slip frames for the pseudo game. When the pseudo-game sliding frame number table is not used, the distance from the position where the symbol is currently stopped to the position where the symbol is pseudo-stopped is calculated, and the symbol is moved by the calculated distance. By moving the symbol based on the distance without using the pseudo-game sliding frame number table, the table becomes unnecessary, and it is possible to prevent the storage capacity of the main control circuit 100 from becoming insufficient.

Further, in the pseudo game, the symbol number of the symbol to be stopped directly may be set without using the slide frame number table for the pseudo game. For example, when the pseudo 7 alignment is determined, 13 (see FIG. 2), which is the symbol number of the “red 7” symbol, is specified in the case of the middle reel 40C without using the pseudo game sliding frame number table. It may be. Then, in the case of the middle reel 40C, the value of 13 is stored in the RAM of the main control circuit 100 as the symbol number for the stop position. Similarly, the right reel 40R and the effect reel 40E also store the values 14 and 17 in the RAM as the symbol numbers for the stop positions. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the storage capacity.

<Explanation of freeze production>
As a "freeze effect (special effect)" that delays the progress of the game by suspending it for a predetermined period, for example, the operation of the bet switch 35 for accepting the game medium and determining the number of bets on the pre-credited game medium. Acceptance, acceptance of the operation of the start switch 36 for starting the game, or acceptance of the reel stop operation may be put into a paused state.

As the freeze effect, all the functions related to the progress of the game described above may be paused, or only some functions may be paused.

As a mode for suspending the progress of the game, control processing based on the operation of the player (input detection processing of the game medium by the passing sensor, bet number setting processing based on the operation of the bet switch 35, operation of the start switch 36). The reel rotation process or the winning combination lottery process based on the above, and the reel stop process based on the operation of the reel stop switch) may not be performed.

If an input signal based on the player's operation is emitted during the period in which the progress of the game is suspended due to the freeze effect, the control process based on the input signal is not performed, the input signal is not accepted, or the input signal By performing processing such as delaying the transmission until a predetermined period elapses, the end timing in one game is delayed as compared with the case where the freeze effect is not performed.

Regarding the freeze effect performed based on the operation of the start switch 36, when the start switch 36 is operated, the reel is not rotated for a predetermined period and the reel is rotated after the predetermined period elapses, or the start switch 36 is operated. When the winning combination lottery and reel rotation are not performed for a predetermined period when is operated, the winning combination lottery and reel rotation are performed after the lapse of a predetermined period, or when the start switch 36 is operated, the winning combination lottery is performed for a predetermined period. When the reel is rotated after a predetermined period has elapsed without rotating the reel, or when a predetermined period is set after the start switch 36 is operated and the winning combination lottery is performed, the reel is rotated or stopped during the predetermined period. There are cases where

Regarding the freeze effect performed based on the operation of the stop switch 37, as a result of the freeze effect performed based on the acceptance of the operation of the stop switch 37 and the operation of the stop switch 37, a specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the reel. The control process of the freeze effect is different from that of the freeze effect performed based on the freeze effect.

The freeze effect control process performed based on the acceptance of the operation of the stop switch 37 includes not performing the stop control process of the rotating reel. As a result, the player cannot stop the spinning reel in the predetermined period, but since the stop control process after the acceptance process of the operation of the stop switch 37 is performed after the predetermined period elapses, the reel is released from the stop acceptance. The timing until the stop can be delayed.

As a result of the operation of the stop switch 37, the control process of the freeze effect performed based on the fact that the specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the reel is the operation of the stop switch 37 other than the last stop switch 37 to display the specific symbol on the reel. When the stop display is displayed on the reel, the stop control of the stop switch 37 to be stopped next is not performed, and when a specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the reel by the last operation of the stop switch 37, the next game is started. The bet number setting process based on the operation of the bet switch 35, the input detection process of the game medium by the passing sensor, or the control process based on the automatic bet number setting process performed when the replay stops on the valid line may not be performed. Can be mentioned.

The freeze effect may be determined based on the result of the winning combination lottery based on the start lever operation. Further, when a predetermined push order operation is performed, a predetermined symbol combination is displayed, or a predetermined lottery is won after all reels are stopped, the freeze effect may be determined to be executed.

<Explanation of reel production>
During a predetermined period during which the freeze effect is performed, the game progress control based on the player's operation is temporarily stopped, but the game machine operation regardless of the progress of the game can be executed. For example, the stop control process based on the operation of the stop switch 37 is not performed, but the rotation mode of the reel can be arbitrarily set.

As a mode of rotation of the reel in a predetermined period (hereinafter referred to as reel effect), the reel is rotated in the direction opposite to the normal rotation, the reel is rotated by a predetermined number of symbols, and a specific symbol combination is stopped (hereinafter, stop during the reel effect). (Referred to as pseudo stop or temporary stop), to make a predetermined reel of a plurality of reels in a stopped state and to make another reel in a rotating state, to change the rotation speed of the reels, or to operate the player. As a result, the operation of the reel may be changed.

In the reel effect, a specific reel control may be performed in which a predetermined symbol is moved from a position before movement to a reference position and pseudo-stopped without operating the stop switch 37 of the player. Further, in the specific reel control, for example, the above-mentioned pseudo-game stop table may be used.

In the specific reel control, the normal game stop table may be used instead of the pseudo game stop table. Then, in the normal game, the "red 7" symbol is stopped and displayed along the effective line L1. For example, a red 7 replay combination is provided, and in the red 7 replay combination and the pseudo game, the "red 7" symbol is the effective line L1. Pseudo 7 sets and pseudo 7 sets displayed along the line may be stopped and displayed by a common normal game stop table.

The predetermined period for performing the freeze effect can be changed according to predetermined conditions (player's operation, lottery, etc.). Here, the predetermined condition includes a predetermined result by detecting a signal based on an operation by the player (start switch 36, bet switch 35, stop switch 37, settlement switch 38) or by lottery. In addition, changing means shortening or lengthening the suspension period.

As a control process for shortening the suspension period, forcible termination of the suspension period or rewriting to a period shorter than the suspension period can be mentioned. Then, as a control process for lengthening the suspension period, adding another period after the suspension period or rewriting to a period longer than the suspension period can be mentioned. Further, the pause period based on the freeze effect does not have a maximum time, and may be continued until a certain result is obtained based on the operation of the player.

The pause period for performing the freeze effect may be set after the wait period has elapsed, or may be set including the wait period. If the weight period is included, it is determined whether or not the freeze effect ends during the weight period, and if it ends, the mode of setting the freeze effect period after the weight period or the remaining weight period after the freeze effect ends. The mode of restarting can be mentioned. Alternatively, it is possible to omit such a determination process by providing a freeze effect period longer than the weight period in advance.

<Explanation of pseudo game>
As a freeze effect, a pseudo-game freeze effect (hereinafter referred to as a pseudo-game) as if a normal game is in progress can be performed. In the pseudo-game freeze effect (pseudo-game), a freeze effect period is set between the start switch acceptance process and the reel rotation start process based on the operation of the start switch 36, and during the freeze effect period, the normal game As described above, the reel rotation control is performed based on the operation of the start switch 36, and the reel is stopped based on the operation of the stop switch 37 (hereinafter, the stop during the pseudo game is also referred to as a pseudo stop). However, the winning combination lottery process based on the operation of the start switch 36, the winning determination process based on the operation of the stop switch 37, or the payout control process is not performed.

In the pseudo-game freeze effect (pseudo-game), the reel 40 that has been pseudo-stopped swings up and down at the timing when the stop switch 37 is operated, the timing when a specific reel is rotated, or the timing when all reels are stopped (pseudo-game). (Also called rocking). Further, by the reel effect described above, when the reel 40 is pseudo-stopped, the reel 40 may swing up and down (also referred to as swinging). In the pseudo game, the reel 40 may be automatically stopped and the symbol may be displayed as a pseudo stop when a predetermined time elapses without operating the stop switch 37. The sway fluctuation means that during the simulated game, the reel 40 is stopped between the first stop position excited by the output phase Φ0 and the second stop position excited by the output phases Φ3 and Φ0. It is a stop state in which the position fluctuates within a stop time of 500 ms or less (Fig. 2).
See 1). The angle between the first stop position and the second stop position is 1/3 at the center of the reel.
It is desirable that it is 36 degrees (corresponding to a distance of 1/16 or 1/17 of one symbol). As described above, although the fluctuation of the pseudo stop is minute, the player can distinguish between the normal stop and the pseudo stop. The pseudo stop is not limited to the above-mentioned swing fluctuation between the first stop position and the second stop position, and may be a stop state in which the swing fluctuates between three or more positions. This makes it possible to suggest whether the game is a normal game or a pseudo game freeze effect (pseudo game).

In the embodiment, the freeze effect will be described as a pseudo game, but the pseudo game can be replaced with the reel effect described above.

In the present embodiment, in the freeze winning probability state A (normal game state), the freeze winning probability state A1 (high probability state) and the freeze winning probability state A2 (normal probability state) in which the determination probability of the special effect is different are provided. In the high probability state, the special effect may be determined with the probability of total probability (1/240), and in the normal probability state, the special effect may be determined with the probability of total probability (1/360).
Note that these probabilities and types (freeze winning probability states A1, A2, etc.) can be set as appropriate. For example, the special effect A can be set not to be drawn in the normal probability state.

In addition, the transition from the normal probability state to the high probability state is controlled so as to shift to the high probability state when the replay combination is stopped in a predetermined operation order when the replay combination is won, or the replay combination. It is conceivable that the operation order is determined by lottery when is won, and control is performed so as to shift to the high probability state when the stop operation is performed in the determined operation order.

On the other hand, in the transition from the high probability state to the normal probability state, the symbol combinations corresponding to bells 1 to 5 were not stopped and displayed when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 4 to 11 were won (incorrect answer of the operation order). In some cases, it is controlled to shift to the normal probability state, and when there are multiple games in which the condition devices of the condition device numbers 4 to 11 are won, the symbol combinations corresponding to the bells 1 to 5 are stopped and displayed in succession. If it is not done, it is conceivable to control it to the normal probability state.
In addition, when the symbol combination corresponding to the one-card combination is not stopped and displayed when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 4 to 11 are won, or when the symbol combination corresponding to the one-card combination is stopped and displayed. It may be controlled to shift to the normal probability state.
Further, in order to manage various gaming states, it is desirable to have a storage area (RAM) for storing a high probability state or a normal probability state.

In addition, instead of the pseudo-game stop table in which the target symbol is always displayed as a pseudo-stop, the target symbol is pseudo-stopped when the target symbol can be pulled in within 5 symbol slips as used in normal games. A pseudo game may be performed using a different stop table. At this time, when the target symbol cannot be pulled in, the reel 40 may be shaken and fluctuated by pseudo-stopping the combination of detachment. The pseudo combination displayed as a pseudo stop in the pseudo game may be determined by lottery for each predetermined operation (for example, the operation of the start switch 36).

<Explanation of special production>
Returning to FIG. 3, the reel control means 120 rotates the reels 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E by operating the start switch 36 when the start of the pseudo game is determined in the non-internal or internal unit game. A special effect consisting of a pseudo game in which the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped according to the operation of the stop switches 37L, 37C, and 37R is performed. As a special effect consisting of a pseudo game, there is a special effect A (see FIG. 13). Even if the winning judgment (determination of whether or not the symbol combination displayed as a pseudo stop on the effective line L1 corresponds to some combination) is not performed during the special production, or the winning judgment is performed. , Even if some role wins, the winning is treated as invalid. Therefore, even if the symbol combination displayed in the pseudo-stop during the special effect matches the symbol combination corresponding to some role, the player is not given the privilege of winning the role. .. The special effect may consist of a combination of a pseudo game and a reel effect. Further, in the special effect, the pseudo game may be performed a plurality of times (2 to 10 times, etc.).

<Explanation of winning judgment means>
Returning to FIG. 3, the winning determination means 140 has the game state control means 142, and when all the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R are stopped, does the symbol combination displayed as stopped on the effective line L1 correspond to any combination? Whether or not (that is, whether or not any winning combination has been won) is determined. Further, based on the determination result, the game state control means 142 is made to perform the game state transition control. Here, the winning determination means 140 does not have to directly recognize the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effective line L1, and in each reel, a predetermined position (for example, the lower U of each reel or each reel) By recognizing the symbol on the frame of the display window 22 or the like), the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effective line L1 may be indirectly determined. In addition, after the winning judgment, the winning state of the small role or the replaying role (excluding the winning state of the BB role) is set to the non-winning state, and when the winning BB role wins, the winning state of the BB role is not won. Put it in a state.

The normal game state in which the normal game is performed includes "non-internal" ("non-RT") and "internal" ("RT"). As shown in the transition diagram of FIG. 12, when the game state is "non-internal" ("non-RT") and the BBA or BBB is won, the game state control means 142 sets the game state to "inside BBA". (During "RT") or "Inside BBB" (during "RT"). In addition, when BBA or BBB wins in "inside BBA" or "inside BBB", the gaming state is changed to "in BBA (also referred to as in BBA)" or "in BBB (also referred to as in BBB)". .. Further, it is determined whether or not the end condition of the BBA game or the BBB game is satisfied, and when it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the game state is shifted to "non-internal middle".

<Explanation of prize processing means>
When it is determined by the winning determination means 140 that any of the small winning combinations has won, the winning processing means 150 drives the medal payout device 82 provided inside the slot machine 10 by the hopper drive circuit 80 shown in FIG. Then, control is performed to pay out the number of medals corresponding to the winning small wins. That is, the medal payout device 82 counts the payout signal output each time the medal is paid out one by one, and when it is determined that the number of medals corresponding to the winning small winning combination is discharged, the driving of the medal payout device 82 is stopped.

<Explanation of storage means>
The storage means 160 stores up to 50 medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 32 shown in FIG. That is, after the end of the unit game, among the medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 32, the medals exceeding the specified number are stored, and the number of medals currently stored is displayed on the credit number display 27. indicate. If a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 32 when the number of stored medals is 50, the inserted medal is directly ejected from the medal ejection port 60. Further, when the settlement switch 38 is operated during the medal insertion acceptance period, the medal payout device 82 is driven by the hopper drive circuit 80 to eject the stored medals from the medal ejection port 60.

Further, if medals are inserted during the period from the establishment of the re-game combination to the operation of the start switch 36, the inserted medals are stored in the storage means 160, and when the settlement switch 38 is operated, the inserted medals are stored. The medals that have been played are discharged from the medal discharge port 60.

<Explanation of external signal output means>
The external signal output means 170 includes the above-mentioned IN signal, OUT signal, BB generation signal, RP generation signal, abnormality generation signal, start signal, execution signal of special effect, "symbol number displayed as pseudo stop in pseudo game" and "pseudo stop display". A signal indicating that "a pseudo stop is displayed in the pseudo game", an AT execution signal, and the like are output to the external centralized terminal board 84 as external signals. Each of these signals is combined into one connector on the external centralized terminal board 84, and is connected to the above-mentioned game information display device, hall computer, or the like via the connector. Then, each signal is output as another signal from the corresponding output pin (output terminal) of the external centralized terminal board 84.

<Explanation of external signal output method>
There are several methods for transmitting a signal to a game information display device, a hall computer, or the like by the external signal output means 170. For example, the BB generation signal may be output during the period until the BB combination wins and the BB game ends. This allows the player to know how many times the BB game has been played.

Next, it is conceivable to output an AT execution signal based on the fact that any of the bells 1 to 5 has won a prize consecutively a predetermined number of times. Further, since the AT is managed by the sub control circuit and the main control circuit and the sub control circuit are connected by one-way communication, the main control circuit cannot grasp the end timing of the AT. In AT, since any of bells 1 to 5 wins frequently because the operation order in which the number of payouts is the largest is notified when the condition device numbers 4 to 11 are won, the bells 1 to 5 are not missed. It may be controlled to output an AT execution signal when any one of 1 to 5 wins a prize a predetermined number of times in a row or when a symbol combination related to any of the bells 1 to 5 is displayed continuously a predetermined number of times. ..

Further, when the re-game combination is won independently, the re-game combination can be won in any operation order, but when the re-game combination is won, the main control circuit outputs the AT execution signal, so that the operation order is predetermined. May be set so that the AT execution signal is output based on the operation by the player in the operation order. The determination of the operation order is not limited to one operation, and the output may be controlled based on the determination result of the operation order of the replay combination a plurality of times.

Although the above configuration is given, the external signal may be output by the symbol or the symbol combination displayed during the pseudo game, the pseudo game is set to be performed a plurality of times, and the symbol combination related to the pseudo 7 alignment is set in the pseudo game. The AT execution signal may be output when it is displayed a plurality of times.

≪Explanation of sub-control circuit≫
<Hardware configuration of sub-control circuit and its surroundings>
The sub control circuit 200 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, various dedicated ICs for generating audio and images, an interface circuit for exchanging information with the main control circuit 100 and the effect notification means 500, and the like. There is. The sub control circuit 200 is electrically connected to the effect notification means 500 in addition to the main control circuit 100. The effect notification means 500 includes an image display device 70 and an upper effect lamp 72 shown in FIG. 1, and speakers 64L and 64R provided inside the slot machine 10.

<Functional block of sub-control circuit>
Next, the functional block of the sub-control circuit 200 will be described. The sub-control circuit 200 mainly includes an effect control means 210 and a notification game control means 220.

<Explanation of production control means>
The effect control means 210 includes the effect data storage means 212 and the effect lottery means 214, and the effect notification means 500 controls the effect executed during the unit game. For example, the effect control means 210 performs an effect peculiar to the pseudo game on the image display device during the pseudo game, and makes the image display device perform a reel effect different from the effect peculiar to the pseudo game during the reel effect. Perform a unique production. Further, in the AT, an effect peculiar to the AT is performed on the image display device. The effect data storage means 212 stores as effect data, image (moving image or still image) data, voice, musical sound and sound effect data, blinking pattern data of the upper effect lamp 72, and the like for executing various effects. .. The effect lottery means 214 determines the content of the effect to be executed by lottery according to the result of the combination lottery transmitted from the main control circuit 100 and the game state. Then, the effect control means 210 generates various control signals based on the image (moving image or still image) data, the sound effect or musical sound data, and the blinking pattern data corresponding to the effect content determined by the effect lottery means 214, and notifies the effect. Output to means 500.

<Explanation of notification game control means>
The notification game control means 220 has a notification period control means 222, an operation mode notification means 224, and a privilege granting means 226, and is a gaming state advantageous for a player who can obtain more medals during a normal game. The AT game is controlled. Hereinafter, this notification game is also referred to as an AT game. The notification period control means 222 controls the start and end of the notification game.

Specifically, the notification game control means 220 determines the number of games (the number of ceiling games) until the next AT is activated when the AT ends, subtracts the number of ceiling games for each game, and the number of ceiling games is calculated. When the game reaches 0, the game state of the sub-control circuit 200 is changed from the normal game state to the AT preparation state. Further, when the conditional device of the conditional device number 12 (watermelon) is won, an AT lottery is performed, and if the AT is won, the number of ceiling games is set to 0 games.

Then, when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 8 to 11 are won, the main control circuit 100 performs a pseudo game when the bells 4 or 5 win the prize twice in succession. In the pseudo game, the pseudo 7 alignment is pseudo-stopped, a "pseudo 7 alignment establishment" command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200, and 1 is sent to the external signal 1 data (AT) and the external signal 3 data (advantageous state) of the RAM. Remember. The external signal 1 data (AT) and the external signal 3 data (advantageous state) are output externally in the interrupt process.

Then, when the sub control circuit 200 receives the "pseudo 7 alignment establishment" command, the sub control circuit 200 shifts the gaming state of the sub control circuit 200 from the AT preparation state to the AT state. When the condition device of the condition device number 12 (watermelon) is won, the AT stock lottery may be performed, and the AT may be executed when there is stock.

The sub-control circuit 200 assigns 50 games as the number of AT games when the AT state shifts from the AT preparation state to the AT. The number of AT games is subtracted each time the AT game is played as a unit game, and when the number of AT games reaches 0 games, the AT ends. When there is an extra ride, the AT ends when the unit game including the extra ride is performed.

Further, in the AT, the number of games, the number of times the condition devices of the condition device numbers 4 to 11, the number of times the operation order in which the bells 1 to 5 are established are notified, the net increase number during the AT, the number of payouts, and the like are set to predetermined values. It may end when it exceeds.

When the AT is started by the notification period control means 222, the operation mode notification means 224 is a combination lottery by the combination lottery means 110 of the main control circuit 100, and when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 4 to 11 are won, the bell 1 Notify the player of the operation order in which ~ 5 wins. The notification of the operation order is performed by the image displayed on the image display device 70 and the voice output from the speakers 64L and 64R, but in addition, the notification of the operation mode by the same notification means and notification method as before is performed. Is possible.

The privilege granting means 226 grants the privilege to the player based on the information of the combination lottery result. When the condition device of the condition device number 12 (watermelon) is won during AT, whether or not to add the number of AT games by lottery and determine the number of additions.

<Direction during simulated game and production during reel production>
When executing the pseudo game, the effect control using the effect data corresponding to the pseudo game (one of the freeze effects) is executed.
For example, after operating the start lever (when all reels perform acceleration processing for a pseudo game), a definite effect for notifying the player that "performing a pseudo game in the game" or a player's It is possible to output a symbol notification effect that notifies the player that a pseudo game in which the "red 7" symbols are aligned (notification of the "red 7" symbol) is executed regardless of the stop operation timing and operation order.
When executing a reel effect different from the pseudo game, the effect control using the effect data corresponding to the reel effect (one of the freeze effects) to be executed is executed.

For example, when the acceleration process is executed after the left reel is interrupted 1000 interrupts one step up (Φ3 / Φ0) after operating the start lever (weight effect), or 500% before the acceleration process is executed. When accelerating all reels after the lapse has passed, a winning combination suggestion effect that notifies (suggests) the player that "a rare role with a low winning probability (eg, a watermelon role) has been won" or "AT" The AT suggestion effect is executed to notify (suggest) the player that there is a possibility of shifting to.

Further, when the reel is automatically pseudo-stopped with a predetermined symbol "for example, pseudo 7 alignment" after the start switch 36 is operated and the reel is rotated in the reverse direction by operating the start switch 36 again, the "AT It is also possible to perform an addition effect to notify (suggest) the player that the number of games may be added or that the number of AT games will be added.
Further, as an effect, if the condition that the AT ends when all the reels are stopped is satisfied, an ending effect for notifying the player that "the AT game has ended" can be mentioned. In addition, it is possible to perform an effect in which the above conditions are appropriately combined.
The effect is not limited to the content of the above effect, and at least some of the effects output by the "pseudo game" and the effect output by the "reel effect" may be different. In other words, a part of the above effects may be an effect output in the "pseudo game" and may be an effect output in the "reel effect".

<Explanation of penalty>
The sub-control circuit 200 pays a penalty when an irregular push (penalty push) of the first stop of the right reel is performed in a game in which any of the condition devices Nos. 4 to 11 is won during the normal game. give. Specific penalties include, for example, that the AT lottery is not performed during a predetermined game from the game in which the irregular push (penalty push) is performed, and the transition from the low probability to the high probability of the AT lottery probability. It is conceivable that the lottery will not be held. Further, regardless of the type of the winning condition device, a penalty may be given when an irregular push (penalty push) of the first stop of the right reel is performed.

The sub-control circuit 200 may give a penalty when the game is not performed according to the operation order notified during AT. As a specific penalty, the operation order may not be notified during a predetermined game from a game that does not follow the operation order. In addition, the extra lottery may not be performed during the predetermined game. Further, although the number of AT games is not subtracted, the operation order may not be notified.

In a game in which any of the condition device numbers 4 to 11 is won, an irregular push (penalty push) of the first stop of the right reel is performed, and if the bell 4 or the bell 5 is established, a penalty is imposed. Seven games may be imposed as the interval, and one game may be imposed as the predetermined game in which a penalty is imposed if the bell 4 or the bell 5 is not established. In other words, the number of games in which a penalty is imposed may be changed depending on whether "Bell 4 or Bell 5" is won as an irregular push (penalty push) or "Bell 4 or Bell 5" is not won. ..

<< Explanation of information transmitted from the main control circuit to the sub control circuit >>
Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the main information transmitted from the main control circuit 100 to the sub control circuit 200 during one unit game will be described. The information transmitted from the main control circuit 100 to the sub control circuit 200 is transmitted in the form of a command. The command is transmitted by the interrupt process, and one command (both identification information and contents) is transmitted for each interrupt. One command is composed of identification information for identifying the type of command and transmission information indicating the content of information transmitted by the command. The sub-control circuit 200 can recognize the progress of the unit game based on the type of the command received from the main control circuit 100 and the information sent together with the command, and performs processing related to various effects.

The list of commands shown in FIG. 17 shows the main information transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 each time a unit game is performed, but various types of commands can be used even during the reel production or the simulated game, for example. A command similar to that during a normal game may be transmitted when a switch is operated, when the reel starts rotating, or when a pseudo stop is performed. In addition to the commands shown in FIG. 17, when the sub-control circuit 200 is to control the effect and the notification during the simulated game, necessary information may be appropriately transmitted.

(21) Pseudo-combination stop symbol command In the above-mentioned special effect processing, this is a command for transmitting information on a symbol combination that is pseudo-stopped after the third stop of the pseudo-game.

<Explanation of special production A>
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state in the special effect A. In the special effect A, a pseudo game is performed once, and in the form shown in FIG. 18, pseudo 7 sets are determined as pseudo roles. The special effect control means 130 determines the execution of the special effect A (pseudo game) when the operation order of winning the bell 4 or the bell 5 is correctly answered twice in succession when the condition device numbers 8 to 11 are won. Then, the pseudo game is executed by the operation of the start switch 36, and before the execution of the special effect A is determined, the game state is the normal game state (flag A = 1), and the swing fluctuation flag of each reel is turned off. ing. Then, when the start switch 36 is operated and the special effect A is executed, the gaming state shifts to the pseudo gaming state (flag A = 2), and all reels start rotating.

Then, when the stop switch 37 is stopped, the corresponding reel 40 is pseudo-stopped. For example, when the player first stops the left stop switch 37L, the "white BAR" symbol on the left reel 40L and the "red 7" symbol on the production reel 40E are displayed as pseudo-stops on the effective line L1, and the shaking fluctuation counter described later is displayed. When becomes 0, the swing fluctuation flag of the left reel 40L and the effect reel 40E is turned on, and the swing fluctuation of the left reel 40L and the effect reel 40E starts. Next, when the player second-stops the middle stop switch 37C, the "red 7" symbol of the middle reel 40C is displayed as a pseudo stop on the effective line L1, and when the shaking fluctuation counter described later becomes 0, the middle reel 40C shakes. The fluctuation flag is turned on, and the middle reel 40C starts swing fluctuation. Then, when the player operates the right stop switch 37R for the third stop, the "red 7" symbol of the right reel 40R is displayed as a pseudo stop on the effective line L1, and when the shaking fluctuation counter described later becomes 0, the shaking fluctuation of the right reel 40R The flag is turned on and the right reel 40R starts swinging. Then, since the pseudo 7 alignment is established, the pseudo 7 alignment establishment command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200. Then, the sub-control circuit 200 indicates to the image display device 70 that the AT is started.

Then, when the start switch 36 is operated, the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (flag A = 1), and when the reel rotation start standby counter described later becomes 0, the swing fluctuation flag of each reel is turned off. The reel 40 ends the swing fluctuation. The sway fluctuation flag may be set in the game progress main process (main loop) after the start of the special effect (pseudo game) is determined.

It should be noted that the swing fluctuation flag may be one, and each reel may refer to one swing fluctuation flag. For example, the swing fluctuation flag is turned on at the time of the first stop operation of the pseudo game, and is turned off when all the reels start the acceleration process after the pseudo stop of all the reels. It should be noted that the swing fluctuation flag may be turned on at least after all reels have started the acceleration process for the pseudo game.

In the simulated game, when the predetermined time elapses without the operation of the stop switch 37, the symbol may be temporarily stopped and the normal rotation in the normal game may be performed.

Next, when the start switch 36 is operated, all reels start rotating. Then, when the stop switch 37 is stopped, the corresponding reel 40 is pseudo-stopped. For example, when the player first stops the left stop switch 37L, the "white BAR" symbol of the left reel 40L and the "red 7" symbol of the effect reel 40E are displayed on the effective line L1 as a pseudo stop, which will be described later. When the sway fluctuation counter becomes 0, the sway fluctuation flag of the left reel 40L is turned on, and the sway fluctuation of the left reel 40L starts. Next, when the player second-stops the middle stop switch 37C, the "red 7" symbol of the middle reel 40C is displayed as a pseudo stop on the effective line L1, and when the shaking fluctuation counter described later becomes 0, the middle reel 40C shakes. The fluctuation flag is turned on, and the middle reel 40C starts swing fluctuation. Then, when the player operates the right stop switch 37R for the third stop, the "red 7" symbol of the right reel 40R is displayed as a pseudo stop on the effective line L1, and when the shaking fluctuation counter described later becomes 0, the shaking fluctuation of the right reel 40R The flag is turned on and the right reel 40R starts swinging. Then, since the pseudo 7 alignment is established, the pseudo 7 alignment establishment command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200. Then, the sub-control circuit 200 indicates to the image display device 70 that the AT is started.

<Stepping motor control>
Next, control of the stepping motor 42 by the reel control means 120 will be described. FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining the principle of rotation control of the stepping motor by the 1-2 phase excitation method adopted by the slot machine of the present embodiment.

The stepping motor 42 that rotationally drives the reel has four phases Φ0 to Φ3. Based on the drive command data signal from the main control circuit 100, the exciting coils 421 to 424 of each phase Φ0 to Φ3 are interrupted by a drive pulse signal whose phase is shifted by π / 2 (unit: radian) from each other in a predetermined cycle. It is supplied one after another by processing. Further, the drive pulse signal has a pulse width having a duty ratio of 3/8 (corresponding to 3/4 π for one cycle).

FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining a 1-2 phase excitation method drive pulse signal waveform. By the 1-2 phase excitation method, the excitation state of each phase changes in the step order of eight exciting phases of Φ3 ・ Φ0, Φ0, Φ0 ・ Φ1, Φ1, Φ1 ・ Φ2, Φ2, Φ2 ・ ΦΦ3 and Φ3. With this as one cycle, the rotation operation is repeated. The reel 40 is rotated once by exciting 336 steps.

<Explanation of fluctuation range>
FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining a mode for changing the swing fluctuation width. FIG. 20A shows a swaying fluctuation state of the “red 7” symbol displayed as a pseudo stop of the middle reel 40C when the player stops the middle stop switch 37C in the simulated game. In the simulated game, the swing fluctuation width is the swing fluctuation width from the effective line L1 (Φ0 phase) to the position one step above the effective line L1 (Φ3 / Φ0 phase).

FIG. 20B is a diagram for explaining a swing fluctuation counter for changing the swing fluctuation width. The main control circuit 100 has a fluctuation fluctuation counter that is incremented by 1 count for every interrupt (2.35 ms). The sway fluctuation counter has a counter value from 0 to 159, and the cycle is periodically repeated with 0 to 159 as one cycle. The main control circuit 100 apparently controls the sway fluctuation to the upper position when the counter value is 2 or 3, and apparently when the counter value is between 0, 1, 4 and 159. Control the shaking fluctuation to the lower position.

FIG. 20C is a diagram showing the relationship between the swing fluctuation counter and the reel rotation start standby counter. When the sway fluctuation counter value is 2 or 3, the main control circuit 100 apparently controls the sway fluctuation to the upper position (Φ3, Φ0), and the sway fluctuation counter value is 0, 1, 4 to 159. When it is in between, it apparently controls the swing fluctuation to the lower position (Φ0).
The range of the initial value of the reel rotation start standby counter is 2 to 337, which is a value obtained by adding +2 to the value randomly drawn from the random number range of 0 to 335 (336 pieces) in the main loop control of the main control circuit 100. The number of 336 random numbers is the same as the number of excitations of 336 steps required to rotate the reel once. The initial value of the reel rotation start standby counter is a value of the reel rotation start standby counter that is initially set when the start switch 36 is operated, and is a value that is subtracted for each interrupt.

Therefore, since the step position where the reel actually starts rotating and the determined random number value have a one-to-one correspondence, for example, when the number of random numbers is 500, a fraction that does not correspond to one-to-one occurs, etc. It is possible to prevent the control program from becoming complicated compared to the above.

When the sway fluctuation counter is 2, the reel rotation start standby counter is 3, and when the sway fluctuation counter is 3, the reel rotation start standby counter is 2, Φ3 and Φ0 of the stepping motor 42 are excited. Then, when the reel rotation start standby counter is 0, the acceleration process is started.

<Detailed transition diagram of the game state>
A detailed transition of the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG. Immediately after the slot machine 10 is shipped from the factory, after changing the settings, or after the BBA and BBB are completed, the gaming state is in the non-internal ("non-RT"), and the winning probability of the re-gaming combination is three. It is about 1 / 7.29 (low) in betting and double betting.

In the non-internal two-card betting game, the BBB winning probability is higher than the BBA winning probability, and in the three-card betting game, the BBB winning probability is lower than the BBA winning probability (see FIG. 10). When a three-card betting game is played in the non-internal, the BBA winning probability is 4300/65536 and the BBB winning probability is 1/65536, so that the game state is hardly shifted to the inside of the BBB, and several games are played. Later, the gaming state is transferred to the inside of BBA. Then, when the BBA wins, the BBA game is performed.

When a two-card betting game is played in the non-internal, the BBA winning probability is 1/65536 and the BBB winning probability is 4300/65536, so that the game state is hardly transferred to the inside of the BBA, and several games are played. Later, the gaming state is transferred to the inside of BBB. Inside the BBB, a BBB game is played when the BBB wins a prize.

During BBA and BBB, the winning probability of all the small winning combination ALLs of 8 cards is 16384/65536 (see FIG. 11). Therefore, during BBA and BBB, the number of medals decreases as the game progresses, and the number of medals is reduced. The expected value of the ball is about 70%. Here, the expected payout value is expressed as the ratio of the payout number to the insert number. For example, the expected payout value of 70% indicates that if a total of 300 medals are inserted, 210 payouts can be expected.

<Expected value of ball output when winning 100% of winning roles>
In the inside of the BBA and inside the BBB, when the winning combination wins with a 100% probability, all the eight-card combination bells 1 to 5 will be the correct answer in the operation order and will win, so the expected value of the ball output is about 180. It becomes%. In addition, if a 3-card betting game in which the winning combination wins with a 100% probability is performed, for example, 17,500 games, the 3-card betting BBB winning probability in the non-internal is extremely low at 1/65536, so the game state is non-internal. The transition from inside to inside BBA, from inside BBA to inside BBA, and from inside BBA to inside non-inside is repeated.

Also, in a three-card betting game, when the winning combination wins with a 100% probability, the game stay ratio between non-internal and BBA internal (non-internal medium + BBA internal) and BBA is 3: 7. Become. In the 3-card betting game, when the winning combination wins with a 100% probability, the expected value of the balls to be played during BBA and BBB is 70% in this embodiment, so the 3-card betting game is continuously played. The expected value of the ball output at the time of playing is about 120%, and ideal playability can be provided. On the other hand, when the expected value of payout during BBA and BBB exceeds 100%, the expected value of payout when three betting games are continuously played through non-internal, BBA internal, and BBA is calculated. It greatly exceeds about 120%, and gambling becomes high.

<Expected value of balls when operated in a random operation order>
Inside the BBB, if the stop switch 37 is operated in a random operation order with a bet of 3 cards, when the condition devices with the condition device numbers 4 to 11 are won, the bells 1 to 5 which are 8 cards will win 6 types. This is one of the operation sequences (left middle right, left and right middle, middle right left, middle left and right, right middle left, right left and right) (see FIGS. 4 to 7). When a three-card betting game is played inside the BBB, there is almost no chance of winning the BBB due to the relationship between the symbol arrangement and the stop control, so that the game state is almost staying inside the BBB. If a 3-card betting game is played in the BBB, for example, 17500 games, the probability that the 8-card role Bells 1 to 5 will win is 1/6, so the expected value of the ball output is about 45%. Therefore, if the operation order of the stop switch 37 is randomly operated by betting three cards inside the BBB, the player consumes medals at a relatively high speed.

Inside the BBA, if the stop switch 37 is operated in a random operation order with a bet of 3 cards, when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 4 to 11 are won, the bells 1 to 5 which are 8 cards will win 3 types. There are two types in the operation sequence (left first, middle left first, right first) (see FIGS. 4 to 7). The probability that bells 1 to 5 will win inside the BBB is 1/6, while the probability that bells 1 to 5 will win inside the BBA is 2/3, so the inside of the BBA is inside the BBB. Compared to this, 8 cards can be won with a 4 times probability.

When the three-card betting game is performed in the BBA in a random operation order, the probability that the loss is determined in the BBA is as high as 17930/65536, and the game is relatively easily transferred to the BBA. Therefore, the gaming state repeatedly shifts from inside the BBA to inside the BBA, from inside the BBA to inside the non-inside, and from inside the non-inside to inside the BBA. Since the probability that Bells 1 to 5, which are eight cards in the BBA, will win is 2/3, and the expected value of the ball output in the BBA is about 70%, when 17500 games are played, the result will be output. The expected value of the ball is about 55%. As described above, when the three-card betting game is performed in the inside of the BBA in a random operation order, the player can play the game while suppressing the consumption of medals as compared with the inside of the BBB.

In this way, when a random operation is performed in a three-card betting game, the probability that the eight bells 1 to 5 will win when the condition devices with the condition device numbers 4 to 11 are won in the BBB is 1/6. On the other hand, when the conditional devices of the conditional device numbers 4 to 11 are won in the BBA, the probability that the bells 1 to 5 which are eight cards are won is as high as 2/3. Therefore, the game inside the BBA in the three-card betting game can provide a game in which the consumption of medals is suppressed as compared with the game inside the BBB. Even if the same condition device is won, the operation order in which the eight bells 1 to 5 are won is different between the inside of the BBA and the inside of the BBB, so that it is possible to provide a game with different expected ball output values. Therefore, the player can enjoy various playability.

In addition, since the game state is not inside after the setting is changed, the game store personnel intentionally change the game state to BBA by playing several games of 3-card betting or 2-card betting after the setting is changed. It can be allowed to stay inside the interior or inside the BBB. Therefore, it is possible to provide the player with various expected values of ball output and various playability. In addition, the player can enjoy a game having different game characteristics by appropriately using the 3-card betting game and the 2-card betting game.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the game is played inside the BBB. Therefore, when the information in the BBB is cleared from the RAM when the setting is changed, the person concerned with the game store can set the game state in the BBB by playing a plurality of games in the two-card betting game. ..

In the present embodiment, there is a probability that the condition device 4 including the predetermined combination (bell 1) corresponding to the predetermined symbol combination (grape-grape-white BAR) is won in the BBB (FIG. 4 and FIG. 4 and). FIG. 10) shows the probability that the condition device 17 including the predetermined combination (bell 1) corresponding to the predetermined symbol combination (grape-grape-white BAR) is won in the BBB, 16384/65536 (FIG. 9 and FIG. It is lower than 11).

Even when the probability of winning the bell is the highest, it is the probability that the condition device 10 including the predetermined combination (bell 5) corresponding to the predetermined symbol combination (grape-grape-grape) is won 13300/65536 (FIG. 7 and). FIG. 10) shows the probability that the condition device 17 including the predetermined combination (bell 5) corresponding to the predetermined symbol combination (grape-grape-grape) is won in the BBB, 16384/65536 (FIGS. 9 and 11). ) Is lower than. As described above, in the BBA or the BBB, the probability that the eight bells 1 to 5 are won is more advantageous than the inside of the BBA or the inside of the BBB.

Further, inside the BBB, the winning probability of the replaying combination is higher than that inside the BBA (see FIG. 10), and the winning probability of the replaying combination won in the three-card betting game inside the BBB is inside the BBB. It is higher than the winning probability of the re-gaming combination that wins in the 2-card betting game or the winning probability of the re-gaming combination that wins in the 3-card betting game inside the BBA (see FIG. 10).

In addition, there are at least two types of symbol combinations in which the number of medals (game media) paid out (8) is the same (condition device 4: grape-grape-white BAR, condition device 6: bell A-bell A-watermelon).

In the present embodiment, when the start switch 36 is operated with two cards inserted inside the BBB, a special effect B for temporarily stopping the game is performed, and the settlement switch 38, the 1-bet switch 34 or the maximum bet switch is performed. The special effect B is released by the operation of 35. When the special effect B is released, the special effect state is shifted to the special effect C. When the special effect state is in the state of special effect C after the special effect B is released, if the start switch 36 is operated with two cards inserted inside the BBB, the two-card betting game is started.

<AT state transition diagram>
FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the AT state. The sub-control circuit 200 draws an AT when the condition device of the condition device number 12 (watermelon) is won in the non-BB. There is a setting difference in the winning probability of the AT. Setting 6 is 1/2 of the condition device number 12 (watermelon) when the condition device is won, and setting 1 is 1/3. The AT may be drawn by lottery when the loss is decided or when the rare role is won. When the AT is won, the game state is changed from the normal game to the AT preparation.

The sub-control circuit 200 notifies the operation order in which the bells 1 to 5 win the prize when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 4 to 11 are won during the AT preparation. Then, when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 8 to 11 are won, the main control circuit 100 performs a pseudo game in which the pseudo 7 alignment is established when the bells 4 or 5 win the prize twice in succession, and the sub control circuit 200 is notified by ". Send the "Pseudo 7 set" command. Upon receiving the "pseudo 7 alignment establishment" command, the sub-control circuit 200 changes the game state from AT preparation to AT. In addition, the pseudo game in which the pseudo 7 alignment is established may be performed when any of the bells 1 to 5 wins a prize twice in a row when the condition devices of the condition device numbers 4 to 11 are won.

As for the AT, 50 games are given as the initial game, and a lottery is performed when the condition device number 12 (watermelon) is won. If the extra lottery is won, the extra number of AT games is determined, and a lottery in a special extraordinary state is performed. In the special extra state, extra extra games occur every game. Then, the AT ends when the specified number of games is exhausted.

<< Explanation of control processing in the main control circuit >>
<Relationship between game progress main processing and interrupt processing>
In the game progress main process (main loop), the main control related to the game is performed, and the interrupt process is periodically performed every 2.35 ms. When the interrupt process performed for about 0.2 to 0.4 ms is being performed, the game progress main process (main loop) is completely stopped, and when the interrupt process is completed, the game progress main process (main loop) is restarted. Will be done. In the interrupt process, reel acceleration process, sway fluctuation process, and the like are performed.

<Explanation of interrupt processing>
FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the contents of the interrupt process executed by the main control circuit. The interrupt process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 23. First, since the main control circuit 100 uses the register of the CPU used in the main loop in the interrupt process, the current register value is saved in the stack area of the RAM (step S10). Next, the interrupt processing prohibition flag is turned on so that the next interrupt processing does not start during the interrupt processing (step S12). Then, the current input port 2 data (power cutoff signal) is input (step S14), and power cutoff detection is performed (step S16).

When the main control circuit 100 determines that the power is turned off (step S16 / YES), the main control circuit 100 performs a power cut process (step S40). In the power off processing, the checksum data of the RAM is calculated and stored. Then, it waits until a reset signal is output from the power supply voltage monitoring device.

When it is determined that the power supply is not turned off (step S16 / NO), the main control circuit 100 reads the input ports 0 to 2 (step S18). Data such as settlement switch signal, bet signal (1, 3 sheets), start signal, stop button sensor signal (left, middle, right, effect reel) are in the input port 0, and the third sensor signal is in the input port 1. (Selector signal), door switch signal, setting key signal, setting door signal, setting / reset button signal, data such as reel sensor (first, second, third, effect), power off signal at input port 2. Data such as input sensor signals 1 and 2, payout sensor signals 1 and 2, and full detection signal are input.

Then, timer measurement is performed (step S20). In the timer measurement, the weight of 4.1 seconds is subtracted, the medal residence time is subtracted, and the like. Next, the lamp management process is performed (step S22). In the lamp management process, a light emission pattern such as a 7-segment display that displays a set value, an acquired number value, and a stored number value is controlled according to the state of the game machine.

Then, the main control circuit 100 reads the input ports 0 to 2 again, compares and compares the values read in step 18, and if they are the same, creates input port data (level data) (step S24). .. If they are different, the values of input ports 0 to 2 read earlier are considered to be due to noise, and level data is not created. For level data, read the data (0, 1) in the input port, compare with the data at the time of the previous interrupt, and create level data that discriminates rising and falling (0 → 1 or 1 → 0). To do.

Then, the main control circuit 100 performs reel drive control (step S26) and reel swing fluctuation control (step S28). Next, a port output process for outputting the excitation output of the reel, hopper, and blocker is performed (step S30). Then, the untransmitted control command stored in the RAM (transmission buffer) is transmitted (step S32).

Then, the main control circuit 100 outputs an external signal (step S34). Next, the register data saved in the stack area of the RAM is restored (step S36). Then, the next interrupt is permitted (step S38), and the interrupt process is completed.

<Explanation of game progress main processing>
First, the description of the game progress main process executed in the main control circuit 100 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 24 and 25.

First, the main control circuit 100 transmits a set value designation command including information on the set value (any of 1 to 6) set in the slot machine 10 to the sub control circuit 200 (step S112). Here, transmitting to the sub-control circuit 200 is synonymous with storing in the transmission buffer, and the following also have the same meaning. Then, if the unit game to be played is a BB game or a re-game, a game state command including information indicating which is the BB game or the re-game is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S114). Further, an RT state command including information indicating whether the current RT state is in non-RT or RT is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S116).

Next, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not the current gaming state is in the BB game (step S118), and when it is determined that the BB game is in progress (YES), the end condition of the BB game is satisfied. A BB earnable number command including the number of medals remaining until the above is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S120). When the main control circuit 100 performs the process of step S120 or determines that the BB game is not in progress (NO) in the determination process of step S118, whether or not the next unit game is a re-game immediately. Is determined (step S122). When medals are inserted during the period from the establishment of the re-game combination to the operation of the start switch 36, the inserted medals are stored in the storage means 160, and when the settlement switch 38 is operated, they are stored. The medals are ejected from the medal ejection port 60. When the main control circuit 100 determines that the next unit game to be performed is a re-game (YES), an automatic medal insertion (2) command or an automatic medal insertion (3) command is transmitted to the sub control circuit 200 (step). S124).

When the main control circuit 100 determines that the next unit game to be performed is not a re-game (step S122 / NO), it immediately determines whether or not a medal has been inserted into the medal insertion slot 32 (step S126). Then, when it is determined that the medal has been inserted (step S126 / YES), a manual medal insertion command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S128). When it is determined that the medal insertion operation has not been performed (step S126 / NO), it is determined whether or not the 1-bet switch 34 or the maximum bet switch 35 has been operated (step S130). When the main control circuit 100 determines that none of the bet switches have been operated (step S130 / NO), it determines whether or not the start switch 36 has been operated (step S133). When it is determined that the start switch 36 has been operated (step S133 / YES), it is determined whether or not the number of medals inserted in the slot machine 10 has reached three (step S134).

When it is determined that the start switch 36 is not operated (step S133 / NO), if the number of medals inserted in the slot machine 10 has reached 3, the number of inserted medals is stored. Add to the number of credits (number of stored cards). When it is determined that the number of medals has not reached three (step S134 / NO), it is determined whether or not the number of medals inserted in the slot machine 10 has reached two (step S136). When it is determined that the number of medals has not reached two (step S136 / NO), the process returns to the determination process of step S126 described above. When it is determined that the number of medals has reached two (step S136 / YES), it is determined whether or not the number of medals is inside the BBB (step S138).

When it is determined that three sheets have been reached (step S134 / YES) and when it is determined that the BBB is not inside (step S138 / NO), a start switch reception command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S146). When it is determined that the inside of the BBB is inside (step S138 / YES), it is determined whether or not the special effect number PD is “C” (step S140). Here, the fact that the special effect number PD is "C" indicates that the second start switch 36 was operated at the time of betting two cards inside the BBB.

When it is determined that the special effect number PD is "C" (step S140 / YES), the special effect number PD is changed to "0" and a start switch reception command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S146). When it is determined that the special effect number PD is not "C" (step S140 / NO), the special effect number PD is changed to "B" (step S141). Then, the process proceeds to the special effect control process (step S142), the special effect number PD is changed to "C" (step S144), and the process returns to the determination process of step S126 described above.

Next, the main control circuit 100 performs a winning combination lottery process (step S148). That is, the winning combination lottery is performed based on the winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 10 or 11 according to the current gaming state. Furthermore, if the BBA or BBB wins and the BBA or BBB win is carried over when the game state is "non-internal", the game state is updated to "BBA internal" or "BBB internal". .. Then, the winning combination lottery result is temporarily stored in the buffer (step S150).

In the above flow, when the unit game is a re-game, the bet switch is not operated and the medal is inserted. However, when the unit game is a re-game, the bet switch is operated and / or the medal is inserted. May be made possible to do. Further, it may be possible to operate the bet switch and / or insert medals during the freeze including the pseudo game and the reel effect.

Next, the explanation of the control process following step S150 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not the current gaming state is "BB gaming in progress" (step S152). Then, when it is determined that "BB is being played" (step S152 / YES), the process proceeds to the determination process of step S168. When it is determined that it is not "BB game in progress" (step S152 / NO), it is determined whether or not it is in the special effect state (step S154). When it is determined that the state is in the special effect state (step S154 / YES), the special effect control process is performed (step S156).

<Explanation of special effect control processing>
Next, in the special effect control process shown in step S156 of FIG. 25, a case where the special effect (pseudo game) process is performed will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 28.
First, when the main control circuit 100 proceeds to the process of step S300 of FIG. 28, it determines whether or not the special effect number PD is B (step S300). Then, when it is determined that the special effect number PD is not B (step S300 / NO), the value of the non-operation allowable time WT is set to "20" (step S302). The main control circuit 100 determines a stoptable position corresponding to each of the left reel 40L, the middle reel 40C, the right reel 40R, and the production reel 40E from the stop table corresponding to the pseudo 7 alignment (step S308), and slides the number of frames table. Is created (step S310).

Next, the main control circuit 100 starts the rotation of the reels 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E, and determines whether or not all the reels have reached the constant speed (step S312). The main control circuit 100 accelerates the reels 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E until the rotation speed (for example, 80 rotations per minute) becomes the same as the rotation speed (about 80 rotations per minute) during the unit game (step S312). / NO). The main control circuit 100 accelerates the reels 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E so that the rotation speed (for example, 90 rotations per minute) is faster than the rotation speed (about 80 rotations per minute) during the unit game. You may let me. Not limited to this, it is rotated at a speed slower than the rotation speed during the unit game, the reels are rotated in a direction different from that during the unit game, the timing at which the rotation of each reel is started is arbitrary, or the game state or combination. Rotation control different from that during the unit game may be performed, such as changing according to the result of the lottery. Further, these rotation controls may be appropriately switched each time the special effect (pseudo game) is executed. Further, it may be rotated at a constant speed at the same acceleration and rotation speed as the reel rotation control during the unit game. The reel is driven by the reel drive control (step S26) in the interrupt process.

Then, when all the reels reach a constant rotation speed (step S312 / YES), it is determined whether or not the first operation (first stop operation) has been performed on any of the stop switches by the player (step). S314), when it is determined that the first stop operation has not been performed (step S314 / NO), it is determined whether or not the value of the non-operation allowable time WT has become “0” (step S320). Then, when the main control circuit 100 determines that the value of the non-operation allowable time WT has become "0" (step S320 / YES), the rotating reel 40 is automatically stopped according to the pseudo stop table and stopped. The reel 40 is shaken and fluctuated (step S322).

When it is determined that the first stop operation has been performed (step S314 / YES), the value of the non-operation allowable time WT is set to "20" (step S316), and the shaking fluctuation processing is performed (step S318).

The main control circuit 100 determines whether or not the first operation (second stop operation) has been performed on any of the remaining stop switches by the player (step S334), and the second stop operation is performed. When it is determined that there is no operation (step S334 / NO), it is determined whether or not the value of the non-operation allowable time WT has become “0” (step S340). Then, when the main control circuit 100 determines that the value of the non-operation allowable time WT has become "0" (step S340 / YES), the rotating reel 40 is automatically stopped according to the pseudo stop table and stopped. The reel 40 is shaken and fluctuated (step S342).

When it is determined that the second stop operation has been performed (step S334 / YES), the value of the non-operation allowable time WT is set to "20" (step S336), and the shaking fluctuation processing is performed (step S338).

Then, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not the first operation (third stop operation) has been performed on any of the remaining stop switches by the player (step S354), and the third stop operation is performed. When it is determined that the value has not been set (step S354 / NO), it is determined whether or not the value of the non-operation allowable time WT has become "0" (step S360). Then, when the main control circuit 100 determines that the value of the non-operation allowable time WT has become "0" (step S360 / YES), the rotating reel 40 is automatically stopped according to the pseudo stop table and stopped. The reel 40 is shaken and fluctuated (step S362).

When it is determined that the third stop operation has been performed (step S354 / YES), the value of the non-operation allowable time WT is set to "20" (step S356), and the shaking fluctuation processing is performed (step S358). Then, a pseudo 7-alignment establishment command including the information that the 7 alignment is pseudo-stopped is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S364), and the special effect number PD is changed to 0 (step S366). Further, a pseudo combination stop symbol command including information on the pseudo-stopped symbol combination may be transmitted together with the transmission of the pseudo 7-alignment establishment command.

When it is determined that the special effect number PD is B (step S300 / YES), the value of the non-operation allowable time WT is set to "5" (step S380). Then, it is determined whether or not the settlement switch 38 or the bet switch 35 has been operated (step S382). When it is determined that the settlement switch 38 or the bet switch 35 has been operated (step S382 / YES), the value of the non-operation allowable time WT is set to "0" (step S384). When it is determined that the settlement switch 38 or the bet switch 35 is not operated (step S382 / NO), it is determined whether or not the value of the non-operation allowable time WT is “0” (step S386).

When it is determined that the value of the non-operation allowable time WT is not “0” (step S386 / NO), the process proceeds to step S382. When it is determined that the value of the non-operation allowable time WT is “0” (step S386 / YES), the special effect control process of FIG. 28 ends.

Returning to FIG. 25, the main control circuit 100 transmits a special effect end command to the sub control circuit 200 (step S158), and stores the winning combination lottery result temporarily stored in the buffer in the RAM (step S160). .. Next, the winning combination lottery result is cleared from the buffer (step S162).

When it is determined that the state is not in the special effect state (step S154 / NO), the winning combination lottery result temporarily stored in the buffer is stored in the RAM (step S164). Next, the winning combination lottery result is cleared from the buffer (step S166). When it is determined that the gaming state is the special effect state (step S154 / YES), a special effect start command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S155), and the special effect control process is started (step S156). When it is determined that "BB is being played" (step S152 / YES), the combination lottery result 1 command and the combination lottery result 2 command are transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S168).

When the process of step S168 is completed, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not 4.1 seconds have elapsed since the start switch 36 was operated in the previous unit game (step S170). Then, when it is determined that 4.1 seconds have not elapsed (step S170 / NO), the standby state is set until 4.1 seconds have elapsed, and it is determined that 4.1 seconds have elapsed (step S170 / YES). , The rotation standby end command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S172).

Then, the main control circuit 100 starts a reel control process for rotating the reels 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E all at once (step S174).

<Explanation of reel control processing>
Next, the detailed contents of the reel control process shown in step S174 of FIG. 25 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 29.

FIG. 29 is a diagram for explaining a reel control process during a normal game. First, the main control circuit 100 sets information on stoptable positions corresponding to each of the left reel 40L, the middle reel 40C, the right reel 40R, and the production reel 40E from the stop table corresponding to the winning combination (step S600), and slides. A frame number table is created (step S606). Then, the main control circuit 100 performs acceleration control of each reel 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E (step S608). When the rotation speeds of the reels 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E reach a predetermined value, for example, 80 rotations / minute (step S610 / YES), the cycle of the drive pulse signal is kept constant and the reels are controlled at a constant speed (step). S612). The reels in the reel acceleration control (step S608) and the reel constant speed control (step S612) are driven by the reel drive control (step S26) in the interrupt process.

When the reels 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E reach a constant speed rotation, the main control circuit 100 permits acceptance of a stop operation by the stop buttons 37L, 37C, 37R (step S614). Then, when the stop operation signal due to the operation of the stop button is received for the rotating reel (step S616 / YES), when the reel stops due to the reel stop control, the main control circuit 100 subordinates. A reel stop acceptance command is transmitted to the control circuit 200 (step S617). The reel stop control is performed with reference to the sliding frame number table according to the timing of the stop operation (step S618).

The main control circuit 100 repeatedly executes the reel control processes from steps S600 to S618 until all the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R are stopped (step S620). When the stop of one reel is accepted, a table of the number of sliding frames of the other remaining reels is newly created according to the symbol to be stopped and the winning combination lottery result, or is created at the start of reel rotation. You may decide whether to use the slip frame number table as it is. Then, after the process of step S620 / YES, the reel control process is terminated, and the process proceeds to the process of step S176 of FIG.

Returning to FIG. 25, the main control circuit 100 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won (step S176), and when it is determined that the BB has won a prize, the game state is changed from "internal". Update to "BB game in progress". The main control circuit 100 sub-controls the type of the winning combination when it is determined that some combination has won, and the information indicating that when it is determined that none of the winning combinations has been won, by the operation symbol command. It is transmitted to the circuit 200 (step S178). Next, the main control circuit 100 transmits a medal payout start command including information on the number of medals (0 to 5) to be paid out according to the result of the winning determination to the sub control circuit 200 (step S180). Here, when it is determined by the winning determination that no winning combination has been won, the number of payout medals transmitted by the medal payout start command is 0.

Next, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not any of the small winning combinations has won a prize as a result of the winning determination (step S182). Then, when it is determined that one of the small winning combinations has won a prize (step S182 / YES), the hopper drive circuit 80 shown in FIG. 3 is controlled to drive the medal payout device 82, and the winning small winning combination is paid out. The number of medals (see FIGS. 4 to 9) is paid out (step S184). Then, when the medal payout is completed, the main control circuit 100 transmits the medal payout end command to the sub control circuit 200 (step S186), and the game end check is performed (step S188).

<Explanation of game end check process>
Next, the detailed contents of the game end check process shown in step S188 of FIG. 25 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 26.

FIG. 26 is a flowchart for explaining the game end check process. First, the main control circuit 100 sets the address of the RAM that stores the condition device corresponding to the non-carry-over combination (step S200). Here, the replay role and the small role are non-carry-over roles, and BBA and BBB are carry-over roles. After the winning game, the carry-over combination is maintained in the winning state even after the next game when the symbol combination corresponding to the carry-over combination is not displayed on the valid line. Further, the RAM includes an address for storing the winning state of each condition device, and in step S200, an address other than the address for storing the BBA or BBB condition device is designated. Specifically, an address for storing a condition device for a non-carry-over combination such as a small combination is specified.

Next, the flag indicating that the conditional device corresponding to the non-carry-over combination has been won is turned off (step S202). Then, it is determined whether or not the flag indicating that the conditional devices corresponding to all the non-carry-over combinations have been won has been turned off (step S204). When it is determined that all the flags are not turned off (step S204 / NO), the process returns to step S202, and when it is determined that all the flags are turned off (step S204 / YES), whether or not the BBA has won a prize. Is determined (step S206). When it is determined that the BBA has won a prize (step S206 / YES), the flag indicating that the BBA has won is turned off (step S208). When it is determined that the BBA has not won a prize (step S206 / NO), it is determined whether or not the BBB has won a prize (step S210).

When it is determined that the BBB has won a prize (step S210 / YES), the flag indicating that the BBB has won is turned off (step S212). When it is determined that the BBB has not won a prize (step S210 / NO), the operation flag check is performed (step S214). In the operation flag check, the BBA, BBB, or the flag indicating whether or not the replay is in operation is checked.

Next, it is determined whether or not the BB (BBA or BBB) is operating (step S216). When it is determined that the BB is operating (step S216 / YES), the BB operation management described later is performed (step S218). When it is determined that the BB is not operating (step S216 / NO), a flag indicating whether or not the condition device corresponding to the BB has been won is acquired (step S220).

Then, the RT state is generated and saved (step S222). Here, based on the flag acquired in step S220, if the flag indicating that the BBA condition device has been won is on, the flag indicating that the BBB condition device has been won is set in the RT state inside the BBA. If it is on, the RT state is set inside the BBB. When the flag indicating that the BB condition device has been won is off and the BB is not operating, the RT state is set to non-internal. Further, when the flag indicating that the BB condition device has been won is off and the BB is in operation, the BB (BBA or BBB) is set. The above state is stored in RAM.

<Explanation of BB operation management process>
Next, the detailed contents of the BB operation management process shown in step S218 of FIG. 26 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 27.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart for explaining the BB operation management process. First, the main control circuit 100 counts the number of payouts during the BB game (step S230), and determines whether or not the end condition of the BB game is satisfied (step S232). When it is determined that the current game state is "BB game in progress" and the number of medals paid out during the BB game exceeds the specified number (step S232 / YES), the main control circuit 100 sub-controls the BB game end command. It is transmitted to the circuit 200 (step S234), and the gaming state is set to non-internal (step S236). When it is determined that the end condition of the BB game is not satisfied (step S232 / NO), the BB operation management process is ended.

Returning to FIG. 25, the main control circuit 100 performs a pseudo game transition process or an outer end output process after the process of step S188 (step S190).

<Explanation of pseudo game transition processing or outer end output processing>
Next, the detailed contents of the pseudo game transition process or the outer end output process shown in step S190 of FIG. 25 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 30 is a flowchart for explaining the pseudo game transition process or the outer end output process. First, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not any of the conditional devices of the conditional device numbers 8 to 11 has been won (step S800). When it is determined that any of the condition device numbers 8 to 11 has won (step S800 / YES), it is determined whether or not the operation order in which the bell 4 or the bell 5 wins is correctly answered (step S802). When it is determined that the operation order in which the bell 4 or the bell 5 wins is correctly answered (step S802 / YES), it is determined whether or not the bell 4 or the bell 5 has won the prize (step S804).

When it is determined that the bell 4 or the bell 5 has won a prize (step S804 / YES), the number of times (BERU) that the bell 4 or the bell 5 has correctly answered the winning operation order is added by 1 (step S806), and the operation order is correctly answered. It is determined whether or not the number of times (BERU) is 2 (step S808). When it is determined that the number of times the operation order is correctly answered (BERU) is 2 (step S808 / YES), the number of times the operation order is correctly answered (BERU) is set to 0 (step S810), and the special effect state (flag A = 2) is set. Is stored in the RAM (step S812).

Then, the main control circuit 100 transmits a special effect start command to the sub control circuit 200 (step S814), and stores 1 (on) in the external signal 1 data and the external signal 3 data of the RAM. Here, the external signal 1 data is in AT, the external signal 2 data is in sub-bonus, and the external signal 3 data is in an advantageous state as compared with the normal state. The sub-bonus is a type of AT and is a bonus controlled by the sub-control circuit 200.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation order is not correctly answered (step S802 / NO), the number of times the operation order is correctly answered (BERU) is set to 0 (step S818), and the pseudo game transition process or the outer end output process is terminated. Further, when it is determined that any of the conditional devices of the conditional device numbers 8 to 11 is not won (step S800 / NO) and the bell 4 or the bell 5 is not won (step S804 / NO), the operation order is changed. When it is determined that the number of correct answers (BERU) is not 2 (step S808 / NO), the pseudo game transition process or the outer end output process is terminated. When it is determined that the bell 4 or the bell 5 has not won a prize (step S804 / NO), the operation order in which the bell 4 or the bell 5 wins is correct (step S802 / YES). Since the bell 4 or the bell 5 is in an abnormal state in which no prize has been won, an error notification is performed.

Returning to FIG. 25, the main control circuit 100 transmits a unit game end command to the sub control circuit 200 after the process of step S190 (step S192). Then, when the unit game end command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200, the process returns to the process of step S112 again, and the process for performing the next unit game is started. Hereinafter, by repeating the processes of steps S112 to S192, the player can continuously and repeatedly perform the unit game.

<< Explanation of control processing in the sub control circuit >>
<Information reception processing>
The content of the information reception process in which the sub-control circuit 200 receives the command transmitted from the main control circuit 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
FIG. 31 is a flowchart for explaining the information reception process. First, the sub-control circuit 200 determines whether or not any command transmitted from the main control circuit 100 has been received (step S1000). Here, when the sub-control circuit 200 determines that no command has been received (step S1000 / NO), the information reception process of FIG. 31 ends. On the other hand, when the sub-control circuit 200 determines that some command has been received from the main control circuit 100 (step S1000 / YES), it is determined whether or not the received command is a combination lottery result command (step S1000 / YES). Step S1002). When the received command is a winning combination lottery result command (step S1002 / YES), AT-related processing is performed (step S1004). Here, when it is a combination lottery result command (step S1002 / YES), it corresponds to after the start switch 36 is operated.

<Explanation of AT-related processing>
Next, the detailed contents of the AT-related processing shown in step S1004 of FIG. 32 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 32.

FIG. 32 is a flowchart for explaining AT-related processing. First, the sub-control circuit 200 determines whether or not it is inside the BBB (step S1200). When it is determined that the inside of the BBB is inside (step S1200 / YES), it is determined whether or not the condition device of the condition device number 12 (watermelon, see FIG. 7) has been won (step S1202). When it is determined that the condition device of the condition device number 12 (watermelon, see FIG. 7) has won (step S1202 / YES), an AT lottery is performed (step S1204). When it is determined that the inside of the BBB is not inside (step S1200 / NO), when it is determined that the condition device of the condition device number 12 is not won (step S1202 / NO), or after the AT lottery, whether or not it is in AT. Is determined (step S1206).

When it is determined that AT is in progress (step S1206 / YES), it is determined whether or not it is inside the BBB (step S1208). When it is determined that the inside of the BBB is inside (step S1208 / YES), it is determined whether or not the condition device of the condition device number 12 (watermelon, see FIG. 7) has been won (step S1210). When it is determined that the condition device of the condition device number 12 (watermelon, see FIG. 7) has won (step S1210 / YES), an additional lottery is performed (step S1212). When it is determined that the inside of the BBB is not inside (step S1208 / NO), for example, when the inside of the BBA is inside, the extra lottery may be performed with a lower probability than inside the BBB.
When it is determined that the AT is not in progress (step S1206 / NO), when it is determined that the BBB is not in progress (step S1208 / NO), and when it is determined that the conditional device of the conditional device number 12 is not won (step S1210 / NO). ) Or, after the extra lottery, the AT-related processing is terminated, and the process proceeds to the process of step S1006 of FIG.

Returning to FIG. 31, the sub-control circuit 200 determines whether or not the AT lottery has been won (step S1006). When it is determined that the AT lottery has been won (step S1006 / YES), the ceiling game number counter is set to "0" (step S1008). When it is determined that the AT lottery has not been won (step S1006 / NO), it is determined whether or not the penalty game counter is greater than 0 (step S1020). As will be described later, the penalty game counter is a counter that is set when the right stop switch 37R is first stopped and a penalty game is performed in a game state other than during AT or during AT preparation.

When it is determined that the penalty game counter is greater than 0, that is, the penalty game is not in progress (step S1020 / NO), the ceiling game number counter is subtracted by "1" (step S1022). When it is determined that the penalty game counter is greater than 0, that is, the penalty game is in progress (step S1020 / YES), it is determined whether or not it is inside the BBB (step S1021). When it is determined that the inside of the BBB is inside (step S1021 / YES), the ceiling game number counter is subtracted by "1" (step S1022). When it is determined that the game is not inside the BBB (step S1021 / NO), the process proceeds to step S1010 without subtracting the ceiling game number counter.

After the processing of S1008 or S1022, it is determined whether or not the ceiling game number counter is "0" (step S1010). When it is determined that the ceiling game number counter is "0" (step S1010 / YES), the game state of the sub-control circuit 200 is changed from "normal game" to "AT preparing" (step S1012). When it is determined that the ceiling game number counter is not "0" (step S1010 / NO), or after the processing of step S1012, it is determined whether or not any of the conditional devices of the conditional device numbers 4 to 11 has been won. (Step S1014).

When it is determined that any of the conditional devices of the conditional device numbers 4 to 11 has been won (step S1014 / YES), it is determined whether or not AT is in progress or AT is being prepared (step S1016). When it is determined that the AT is in progress or the AT is being prepared (step S1016 / YES), the operation order in which the bells 1 to 5 win is notified (step S1018).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the received command is not the winning combination lottery result command (step S1002 / NO), it is determined whether or not the received command is an operation symbol command (step S1024). When it is determined that the received command is an operation symbol command (step S1024 / YES), a penalty process is performed (step S1026). Here, when it is determined that the received command is an operation symbol command, it corresponds to when all reels are stopped. The penalty process may be performed when the stop switch 37 is first stopped, when any of the condition devices Nos. 4 to 11 is won, and when the bells 4 and 5 are won.

<Explanation of penalty processing>
Next, the detailed contents of the penalty processing shown in step S1026 of FIG. 31 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 33.

FIG. 33 is a diagram for explaining the penalty process. First, the sub-control circuit 200 determines whether or not AT is in progress or AT is being prepared (step S1400). Then, when it is determined that the AT is in progress or the AT is being prepared (step S1400 / YES), it is determined whether or not the right stop switch 37R has been first stopped (step S1404). When it is determined that the right stop switch 37R has been first stopped (step S1404 / YES), the penalty game counter is set to "5" (step S1406).

When it is determined that the right stop switch 37R has not been first stopped (step S1404 / NO), it is determined whether or not the penalty game counter is greater than 0 (step S1408). When it is determined that the penalty game counter is greater than 0 (step S1408 / YES), it is determined whether or not the left stop switch 37L or the middle stop switch 37C has been first stopped (step S1410). When it is determined that the left stop switch 37L or the middle stop switch 37C has been first stopped (step S1410 / YES), the penalty game counter is subtracted by "1" (step S1412). Further, when it is determined that AT is in progress or AT is not being prepared (step S1400 / NO), and when it is determined that the penalty game counter is 0 (step S1408 / NO), the left stop switch 37L or the middle stop switch 37C is the first. When it is determined that the stop operation has not been performed (step S1410 / NO), the penalty process is terminated after the process of step S1406 or the process of step S1412, and the process proceeds to the process of step S1028 of FIG.

<Explanation of AT end judgment processing>
Next, regarding the detailed contents of the AT end determination process shown in step S1028 of FIG. 31
This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 34.

FIG. 34 is a flowchart for explaining the AT end determination process. First, the sub-control circuit 200 determines whether or not AT is in progress (step S1600). When it is determined that AT is in progress (step S1600 / YES), the number of AT games (ATG) is subtracted by "1" (step S1601). When it is determined that the AT is not in progress (step S1600 / NO), it is determined whether or not the number of AT games (ATG) is 0 (step S1602). When it is determined that the number of AT games (ATG) is 0 (step S1602 / YES), the number of ceiling games is drawn by lottery (step S1604). The number of ceiling games is not determined by lottery, but a predetermined number of games may be set.

Next, the determined number of ceiling games is set in the ceiling game counter (step S1606), and the game state of the sub-control circuit 200 is changed from "AT" to "normal game" (step S1608). When it is determined that the number of AT games (ATG) is not 0 (step S1602 / NO), or after the process of step S1608, the AT end determination process is terminated.

Returning to FIG. 31, when it is determined that the received command is not an operation symbol command (step S1024 / NO), it is determined whether or not the pseudo 7 alignment command has been received (step S1030). When it is determined that the pseudo 7-alignment establishment command has been received (step S1030 / YES), the game state is changed during AT (step S1032), and the number of AT games (ATG) is set to 50 games (step S1034).

When it is determined that any of the conditional devices of the conditional device numbers 4 to 11 has not been won (step S1014 / NO), and when it is determined that the AT is in progress or the AT is not being prepared (step S1016 / NO), the pseudo 7 set is established. When it is determined that the command has not been received (step S1030 / NO), the information reception process ends after the processes of step S1018, step S1028, and step S1034.

<Second Example>
Next, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 35 to 46.

[Explanation of reel design]
Next, with reference to FIG. 35, the arrangement of the symbols printed on the reel tapes attached to the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels 40L, 40C, 40R and the effect reel 40E will be described. In the arrangement of the symbols of FIG. 35, the "bell B" symbol of the symbol numbers 12 and 17 on the right reel is changed from the arrangement of the symbols of FIG. 2 to the "bell A" symbol. Since the other arrangements are the same as the arrangements of the symbols in FIG. 2, description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 36 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the condition device numbers 0 and 1 and the corresponding combinations. When a total of 300 medals are paid out during BBA, the BBA game ends, and when a total of 12 medals are paid out during BBB, the BBB game ends. Description of the same parts as in FIG. 4A will be omitted.

FIG. 37 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the conditional device numbers 2, 3, 20 to 23 in the three-card bet and the corresponding winning combination. Bells 1, 1 piece combination 24, 26, 101-104 correspond to the role of the condition device of the condition device number 20 in which the condition device name is the left middle right bell 1.

The symbol combination corresponding to each combination is the illustrated symbol combination. For example, the symbol combination corresponding to the bell 1 is (grape-grape-white BAR) corresponding to the reels 40C, 40R, and 40L. ing. Further, the symbol combinations shown in the same manner are also used for the single combinations 24, 26, 101-104.

When the condition device with the condition device number 20 is won inside the BBB, the operation order is set, and when the stop switch 37 is operated in the order of left, middle, and right, bell 1 (6 pieces) wins with a 100% probability. If it is operated in the order of left and right, one of the 1-card combination (1 card) will win a prize with a 50% probability, and if it is operated in the middle 1st order, any of the 1-card combination (1 card) will be 1 Winning with a probability of / 8, and if operated in the order of the first right, one of the 1-card combination (1 card) will win with a probability of 1/8. In this way, if the condition device with the condition device number 20 is won inside the BBB, the bell 1 (6 pieces) can be won with a probability of 1/6.

When the condition device of the condition device number 20 is elected inside the BBB and the left stop switch 37L is operated for the first time, the "white BAR" symbol of the left reel 40L is stopped on the effective line. When the middle stop switch 37C is operated second after the left stop switch 37L is operated, the "grape" symbol of the middle reel 40C is stopped and controlled on the effective line because the operation order is correct. On the other hand, if the left stop switch 37L is operated and then the right stop switch 37R is operated second, the operation order is incorrect, and therefore, in order to win either the one-card combination 101 or 102, the right reel 40R The "bell A" symbol is stopped and controlled on the effective line by the number priority stop control.

When the left stop switch 37L is operated, the middle stop switch 37C is operated second, and the right stop switch 37R is operated third, the operation order is correct, so the "grape" symbol on the right reel 40R is valid. Stopped on the line. On the other hand, when the left stop switch 37L is operated, the right stop switch 37R is operated second, and the middle stop switch 37C is operated third, the operation order is incorrect, so the single-card combination 101, 102 Either the "red 7" symbol or the "watermelon" symbol of the middle reel 40C is stopped and controlled on the effective line in order to win any of the above. As can be seen from the symbol arrangement of the middle reel in FIG. 35, the "red 7" symbol or the "watermelon" symbol is arranged at a position where it is pulled in when the stop operation is performed in the range of symbol numbers 8 to 17. It is drawn on the effective line with a probability of / 2.

If the condition device with the condition device number 20 is won in the non-internal or inside the BBA, the operation order is set, and if the stop switch 37 is operated in the left first order, there is a 100% probability that the bell 1 (6 sheets) will be operated.

Therefore, even if the condition device number 20 is won, it can be considered that the winning condition device is different between the non-internal or BBA internal (non-internal, BBA internal) and the BBB internal. The operation order in which one card combination can be won can be set to a different operation order in the non-internal or in the BBA and in the BBB. Therefore, the small winning combination that can be won can be set differently in the non-internal or BBA internal (non-internal, BBA internal) and the BBB internal.

FIG. 45 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the conditional device numbers 2, 46, and 47 in the three-card bet and the corresponding winning combination. In the loss corresponding to the condition device number 2, a symbol combination that does not constitute any combination of combinations is displayed. Bells 1, 2, 4, 5 and watermelon correspond to the role of the condition device of condition device number 46 whose condition device name is all small winning combination ALL, and bells 1, 2, 4, 5 and watermelon win a prize. Then there are 6 payouts. The role of the condition device of the condition device number 47 in which the condition device name is one small combination ALL corresponds to the combination of one piece 20 to 43, and when the combination of one piece wins, one piece is paid out.

Next, with reference to the winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 46, the winning probability of each lottery target in the winning combination lottery will be described. The winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 46 is a random number value (an integer of 0 to 65535) generated by the random number generator of the main control circuit 100 for each lottery target in the non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal. Among them, the number of numerical values considered to be won (hereinafter referred to as a random number) is shown. Since the random number value "0" is also included in the numerical value, the number of random number values that can be generated by the random number generator is 65536. Therefore, the winning probability of each lottery target is a value obtained by dividing the corresponding number by 65536. Further, the winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 46 is a winning combination lottery table common to "setting 1" to "setting 6".

In the winning combination lottery table shown in this figure, the number of the conditional device number 0 whose conditional device name is BBA is 686 in the non-internal 3-card bet and 1 in the non-internal 2-card bet. The number of the conditional device number 1 whose conditional device name is BBB is 1 in the non-internal 3-card bet and 10000 in the non-internal 2-card bet. The number of the conditional device number 0 whose conditional device name is BBA is 0 in the bet of two cards inside the non-internal, and the number of the conditional device number 1 whose conditional device name is BBB is three inside the non-internal. It may be 0 in the bet. Further, if the condition device name is less than 686, which is the number of bets in the three-card bet of the condition device number 0, which is BBA, the number of bets in the two-card bet may be any number. Further, as long as the number of the conditional device number 1 is less than 10,000, which is the number of bets in the two-card bet, the number of the three-card bet may be any number. In addition, the lottery of BBA and BBB is not performed inside BBA and inside BBB.

The number of the conditional device number 2 whose condition device name is lost is 0 for a 3-card bet inside the non-internal, 0 for a 2-card bet inside the non-internal, 687 for a 3-card bet inside the BBA, and inside the BBA. It is 11001 for a 2-card bet, 0 for a 3-card bet inside the BBB, and 0 for a 2-card bet inside the BBB. In this way, the loss may be selected only within the BBA.

The number of the conditional device number 3 whose conditional device name is replay is 8978 for a 3-card bet inside the non-internal, 8978 for a 2-card bet inside the non-internal, 8978 for a 3-card bet inside the BBA, and inside the BBA. It is 8978 in the two-card bet, 9665 in the three-card bet inside the BBB, and 19979 in the two-card bet inside the BBB.

The number of condition device numbers 20 to 23 whose condition device name is left middle right bell is 9176 in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal bets, 9176, non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal. It is 0 in the two-card bet. Further, the number of the condition device numbers 24 to 27, 28 to 31, 32 to 35, 36 to 39, and 40 to 43 is the same as the number of the condition device numbers 20 to 23, and is the same as the number of the condition device numbers 20 to 23. It is 9176 in the 3-card bet inside, and 0 in the 2-card bet inside the non-internal, BBA and BBB.

The number of condition device number 12 whose condition device name is watermelon is 814 in a three-card bet in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal, and in a two-card bet in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal. It is 0.

In FIG. 46, the conditional devices in which the role of Belle wins are the conditional device numbers 20 to 43. In a three-card bet, the condition device with the left first correct answer is the condition device with the condition device numbers 20 to 27, the condition device with the middle first correct answer is the condition device with the condition device numbers 28 to 35, and the right first. The correct condition device is the condition device numbers 36 to 43. The total number of values of the condition devices of the condition device numbers 20 to 27 is 18352, the total number of values of the condition devices of the condition device numbers 28 to 35 is 18352, and the total number of values of the condition devices of the condition device numbers 36 to 43 is 18352. The ratio of the left first correct answer, the middle first correct answer, and the right first correct answer is 1: 1: 1.

Since the ratio of the left first correct answer, the middle first correct answer, and the right first correct answer is uniform, the probability that the player wins the bell role does not change regardless of the operation order. In the first embodiment, if the right first stop operation is not penalized, the distribution of the number of right first stops is as high as 70%, so it is expected that the right first stop operation will be continued during normal times. The value will be large. However, in the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the probability that the bell combination will win even if the right first stop operation is performed during normal times is that the bell combination when the left first stop operation and the middle first stop operation are performed wins. Since it is the same as the probability of doing, there is no need to penalize the right first stop operation. Therefore, a penalty is imposed on the right first stop operation, and unlike the first embodiment in which the game can be played only in the four operation sequences of left / right middle, left middle right, middle right left, and middle left / right, in the second embodiment, All six operation orders are possible: left / right middle, left middle right, middle right left, middle left / right, right middle left, right left middle. Therefore, in the second embodiment, it is possible to provide a game machine that does not need to impose a penalty on the operation sequence. Therefore, it is possible to provide the player with various playability that allows all operation sequences.

The condition that one of the three correct answers in the order of the bell winning operation is correct (for example, the first correct answer on the right) is inside the non-internal and inside the BBA (see FIGS. 37 to 42), and the correct answer in the order of the bell winning operation. The condition that one of the six choices is correct is that it is inside the BBB (see FIGS. 37 to 42).

Since the probability of winning the re-game is higher inside the BBB than inside the BBA, the expected value of the ball can be kept high even if one of the six correct answers in the bell winning operation order is correct (50 medals). You can increase the number of games you can play if you have one). On the other hand, if one of the six choices is correct in the non-internal and BBA internals, the re-game winning probability is lower than in the BBB internal (the reason why the re-game winning probability is low is to facilitate the winning of the BBA). , The expected value of the ball output becomes low, which may cause discomfort to the player. Therefore, by increasing the probability of the correct answer in the order of winning the bell, the payout by the bell is increased and the expected value of the ball is kept high. In this way, the stop control for the bell to win a prize is changed according to the game state (BB winning state).

The number of the conditional device numbers 13 to 16 in which the conditional device names are two-card bets common roles A to D is 0 in the non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal three-card bets, non-internal, and BBA internal. And 2 bets inside the BBB are 11000 each.

The number of the conditional device number 44 whose conditional device name is premier is 1 in the 3-card bet in the non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal, and in the 2-card bet in the non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal. It is 0. In addition, the number of the conditional device number 45 in which the conditional device name is a common one is 0 in the non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal bets, 0 in the non-internal, in the BBA, and in the BBB. It is 1557 in the two-card bet.

Further, as the winning combination lottery table in BBA and in BBB, the same winning combination lottery table as the winning combination lottery table described with reference to FIG. 11 is used.

It is substantially the same as the winning combination lottery table of FIG. 46, and the same parts as those of the second embodiment described above will be omitted.

The number of condition device numbers 20 to 21 whose condition device names are left middle right bells 1 and 2 is 4588, non-internal middle, BBA internal middle, and 3 bets in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal. It is 0 in the two-card bet inside the BBB. In addition, the condition device numbers 22B to 23B, 24 to 25, 26B to 27B, 28 to 29, 30B to 31B, 32 to 33, 34B to 35B, 36 to 37, 38B to 39B, 40 to 41, 42B to 43B are placed. The number is also the same as the number of the conditional device numbers 20 to 21, and is 4588 in the 3-card bet in the non-internal, BBA internal and BBB internal, and 0 in the 2-card bet in the non-internal, BBA internal and BBB internal. It has become.

The number of condition device number 12 whose condition device name is watermelon is 814 in a three-card bet in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal, and in a two-card bet in non-internal, BBA internal, and BBB internal. It is 0.

In FIG. 53, the conditional devices in which the role of Belle wins are the conditional device numbers 20-21, 22B-23B, 24-25, 26B-27B, 28-29, 30B-31B, 32-33, 34B-35B, 36-. 37, 38B to 39B, 40 to 41, 42B to 43B. In the three-card bet, the condition device that is the left first correct answer is the condition device of the condition device numbers 20-21, 22B-23B, 24-25, 26B-27B, and the condition device that is the middle first correct answer is the condition. Conditional devices with device numbers 28 to 29, 30B to 31B, 32 to 33, 34B to 35B, and the first correct answer on the right are condition device numbers 36 to 37, 38B to 39B, 40 to 41, 42B to. It is a condition device of 43B. The total number of values of the condition devices of the condition device numbers 20 to 21, 22B to 23B, 24 to 25, 26B to 27B is 18352, and the values of the condition devices of the condition device numbers 28 to 29, 30B to 31B, 32 to 33, 34B to 35B. The total number of values is 18352, and the total number of values of the conditional devices of the condition device numbers 36 to 37, 38B to 39B, 40 to 41, and 42B to 43B is 18352. The ratio of the left first correct answer, the middle first correct answer, and the right first correct answer is 1: 1: 1.

Since the ratio of the left first correct answer, the middle first correct answer, and the right first correct answer is uniform, the probability that the player wins the bell role does not change regardless of the operation order. In the first embodiment, if the right first stop operation is not penalized, the distribution of the number of right first stops is as high as 70%, so it is expected that the right first stop operation will be continued during normal times. The value will be large. However, in the third embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the probability that the bell combination will win even if the right first stop operation is performed during normal times is that the bell combination when the left first stop operation and the middle first stop operation are performed wins. Since it is the same as the probability of doing, there is no need to penalize the right first stop operation. Therefore, a penalty is imposed on the right first stop operation, and unlike the first embodiment in which the game can be played only in four operation sequences of left / right middle, left middle right, middle right left, and middle left / right, in the third embodiment, All six operation orders are possible: left / right middle, left middle right, middle right / left, middle left / right, right middle left, and right / left middle. Therefore, in the third embodiment, it is possible to provide a game machine that does not need to impose a penalty on the operation sequence. Therefore, it is possible to provide the player with various playability that allows all operation sequences.

Further, the number of the 9-card combination condition device numbers 20 to 21 which is the correct answer in the left middle right is 4588, and the number of the 3-card combination condition device numbers 22B to 23B is 4588. Since the probability of winning the 9-card combination condition device numbers 20 to 21 and the 3-card combination condition device numbers 22B to 23B is the same, the number of bell roles that are correct in the left middle right during non-AT. The average value of is 6 sheets. In addition, the average number of payouts is 6 in the case of left / right middle correct answer, middle left / right correct answer, middle right / left correct answer, right / left middle correct answer, and right middle left correct answer.

Further, in the third embodiment, since the condition device for the number of payouts of 9 and 3 is provided, the expected value of payout can be suppressed by the extreme number of payouts, and various playability can be provided. The combination of the number of payouts can be appropriately selected, such as 11 sheets and 1 sheet, 10 sheets and 2 sheets.

The condition that one of the three correct answers in the order of the bell winning operation is correct (for example, the first correct answer on the right) is inside the non-internal and inside the BBA (see FIGS. 47 to 52). The condition that one of the six choices is correct is that it is inside the BBB (see FIGS. 47 to 52).

Since the probability of winning the re-game is higher inside the BBB than inside the BBA, the expected value of the ball can be kept high even if one of the six correct answers in the bell winning operation order is correct (50 medals). You can increase the number of games you can play if you have one). On the other hand, if one of the six choices is correct in the non-internal and BBA internals, the re-game winning probability is lower than in the BBB internal (the reason why the re-game winning probability is low is to facilitate the winning of the BBA). , The expected value of the ball output becomes low, which may cause discomfort to the player. Therefore, by increasing the probability of the correct answer in the order of winning the bell, the payout by the bell is increased and the expected value of the ball is kept high. In this way, the stop control for the bell to win a prize is changed according to the game state (BB winning state).

Further, as the winning combination lottery table in BBA and in BBB, the same winning combination lottery table as the winning combination lottery table described with reference to FIG. 11 is used.

(Another example)
The examples described above are only examples, and other derivative plans will be described.

Regarding the winning combination lottery table of FIG. 10, it is stated that the number of BBAs or BBBs may be set to 0. Or, if a 3-card betting game is started, the BBA or BBB lottery will not be performed. When the BBA is in the winning state, the BBB is not won in the 2-card or 3-card betting game (number of positions is 0), in other words, it is synonymous with the fact that the symbol combination corresponding to the BBB is not specified.
