Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the game control means 100 is generally used in the general game state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), bonus internal winning (RT3)). A general game, which is a typical game, is executed, and a bonus game is executed in a bonus game state (BB1: sometimes referred to as during a bonus game) based on a bonus role that is more advantageous to the player than the general game state.

Further, as a game advantageous to a player different from the bonus game which is a game in the bonus game state (BB1), the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 described later is determined by the operation procedure of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R. Each advantageous role corresponding to the specific role given to the player when the specific role is won (promotion replay, fall replay, push order bell, etc .: see Fig. 9) There is an AT game (special game) that identifiablely notifies the operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. The game control means 100 performs an AT game when the AT allowed state shown in FIG. 5 and the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is the specific combination winning result in the game during the AT period (special game continuation period) .

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the game control means 100 includes an operation mode determination means 100a, a game state setting means 100b, an AT allowable state setting means 100c, a continuation rank determination means 100d, a continuation rate addition means 100e, and a continuation lottery means 100f. , AT game capable state determination means 100 g is provided.

(1-1) Operation mode determination means 100a
The operation mode determining means 100a determines the operation mode of the player with respect to the slot machine 1. Specifically, the mode of operation by the player for various switches included in the slot machine 1 such as the bet switches 15 and 17, the start switch 19, and the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and the player to the medal slot 25. The mode of various operations on the slot machine 1 by the player, such as the mode of the operation of inserting the medal by the player, is determined.

(1-2) Game state setting means 100b
The game state setting means 100b has a plurality of preset gaming states based on the result of the combination lottery process by the combination lottery means 103, the determination result of the symbol combination on the effective line (middle line) by the symbol determination means 110, and the like. The gaming state of the slot machine 1 is set in any one of them.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the game states include initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), bonus internal winning (RT3), and bonus game state. (BB1) is provided. Here, the general game is executed in the general game state composed of the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), the advantageous RT (RT2), and the bonus internal winning (RT3), and the bonus in the bonus game state (BB1). The game is executed. Further, the initial RT (RT0) is a gaming state that shifts when the setting is changed, which will be described later, or after the bonus gaming state (BB1) ends.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the initial RT (RT0), the push order bells (left middle right correct answer bells 1 to 4, left and right middle correct answer bells 1 to 4, middle left and right correct answer bells 1 to 4, middle right left correct answer bells 1 to 4) , Right-left middle correct answer bells 1 to 4, right middle left correct answer bells 1 to 4: (see FIG. 9), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to normal RT (RT1), and the game state is normal. Move to RT (RT1). Further, in the normal RT (RT1), when any of the promotion replays 1 to 6 (see FIG. 9) is won with a U lip, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the advantageous RT (RT2), and the game state is changed. Shift to advantageous RT (RT2).

As shown in FIG. 16, about some specific lottery values among the lottery values in which all the winning combinations are not won (missing) in the winning combination lottery by the winning combination lottery means 103 (FIG. 4) in the normal RT (RT1). Is set to win a replay (specific general role) that is a replay role in a role lottery by the role lottery means 103 in the advantageous RT (RT2), and the advantageous RT (RT2) is a normal RT (RT1). ) Is a game state in which the winning probability of the replay is set higher than that of). Further, as shown in FIG. 5, if the push order bell is missed at the advantageous RT, or if any of the fall replays 1 to 3 (see FIG. 9) is won by the D lip, the game state setting means 100b is a game. The state is set to normal RT (RT1), and the gaming state shifts to normal RT (RT1).

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a bonus combination (red 7 big, BAR big: see FIG. 9) is won in any of the initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), and advantageous RT (RT2) gaming states. If the symbol combination when all reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped is not the symbol combination for bonus winning (non-winning), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the bonus internal winning (RT3). Set and the game state shifts to the bonus internal winning (RT3). Further, if the bonus combination is won during the bonus internal winning (RT3), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the bonus game state (BB1), and the game state shifts to the bonus game state (BB1). Further, in the bonus game state (BB1), when a predetermined bonus game end condition is satisfied, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the initial RT (RT0), and the game state shifts to the initial RT (RT0). In this embodiment, the number of payouts exceeds the specified value as a condition for ending the bonus game. This specified value is set to 300 when Red 7 Big wins and 100 when BAR Big wins, so that the bonus game (BB1) due to Red 7 Big winning will continue for at least 34 games. It is configured in. The end condition of the bonus game is the same regardless of whether the AT is not allowed, the AT is allowed, or the AT period, and the game ends when the number of payouts exceeds the specified value. That is, the privilege obtained in the bonus game is the same in any of the AT non-allowable state, the AT allowable state, and the AT period.

In this way, each game state is configured to shift to another game state when the transition conditions set for each game state are satisfied. The above-mentioned "missing push order bell", "promotion replay prize", fall replay prize, etc. regarding the transition conditions will be described later.

(1-3) AT allowable state setting means 100c
As shown in FIG. 5, the AT allowable state setting means 100c has either an AT non-permissible state (special game non-permissible state) that does not allow AT games or an AT permissible state (special game permissible state) that allows AT games. One is to set the state of the slot machine 1.

a) Transition from AT non-allowable state to AT-allowed state due to AT-allowed winning As shown in FIGS. 10 and 16, AT non-allowable state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2)) An AT permissible combination is associated with a part of the lottery value in the game in. Here, as shown in FIG. 5, it is determined that the lottery value determination determination means 103b is set to the AT allowable state by the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation means 103a of the combination lottery means 103 based on the game start by the operation of the start switch 19. Then (AT allowable winning), the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state.

At this time, the AT permissible state setting means 100c notifies that the AT permissible state is identifiable by turning on the notification lamp 60c (see FIG. 27) of the notification display 60. By notifying the outside that the AT is in the allowable state, if the AT game is executed when the slot machine 1 is not in the AT allowable state, the slot machine 1 is in an abnormal state and there is a possibility of failure or fraud. You can judge that immediately.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to shift from the normal RT (RT1) to the advantageous RT (RT2), it is necessary to win the U lip in any of the promotion replays 1 to 6 in the normal RT (RT1). However, each of the promotion replays 1 to 6 is set with an advantageous push order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R for winning a prize with U lip. Therefore, it is usually difficult to win an advantageous U lip in the promotion replays 1 to 6 unless this advantageous push order is notified in the AT game.

In addition, if you win a D-rip in any of the fall replays 1 to 3 in the advantageous RT (RT2), you will move to the normal RT (RT1), but you will win an N-rip without winning a D-rip in each of the fall replays 1-3. The pressing order of the advantageous stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is set. Therefore, it is usually difficult to win an advantageous N lip in the fall replays 1 to 3 unless this advantageous push order is notified in the AT game.

Therefore, it is difficult to stay in the advantageous RT (RT2) unless the AT game that notifies the advantageous operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is performed. Therefore, the game state is usually the initial RT (RT0) or the normal. When it is RT (RT1), the AT allowable state is won, and the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state. Further, when the slot machine 1 is set to the AT allowable state, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the initial number of games (50 games in this embodiment) in the AT period game number counter 654 (FIG. 4). With this setting, when the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is the specific combination winning result, the AT game can be performed to notify the advantageous operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. When the number of games of the number of AT period games counted by the AT period game number counter 654 remains, the state of the flag during the AT period stored in the flag storage means 651 (FIG. 4) can be used for AT games. It is set to ON by the state determining means 100g (AT game available state).

In addition, when the AT game becomes possible at the initial RT (RT0) or the normal RT (RT1), the AT is being prepared from the non-AT, and the promotion replays 1 to 6 are won at the normal RT (RT1) during the AT preparation. Then, an AT game for notifying the advantageous pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R for winning the U lip that shifts to the advantageous RT (RT2) is executed. Then, if the U lip is won in any of the promotion replays 1 to 6, the process shifts to the advantageous RT (RT2) in the AT playable state to which the AT execution right is granted, so-called ART.

Further, after the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the count value in the AT period game number counter 654, the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 is executed every time the game is executed regardless of whether it is a general game or an AT game. By subtracting 1 from, the number of remaining games in the number of games played during the AT period (AT execution right) is counted. Further, the AT permissible state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT permissible state (lights the notification lamp 60c), and in the game, every time the game is executed regardless of the type of the game, the permissible period game number counter. By adding 1 to the count value of 653, the duration of the AT allowable state is counted. When the slot machine 1 is set to the AT allowable state, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the number of games (for example, 1500 games) preset as a limiter condition in the allowable period game number counter 653, and AT. The duration of the AT permissible state may be counted by subtracting 1 from the count value of the permissible period game number counter 653 each time a game is executed in the permissible state.

Further, the AT permissible state setting means 100c is not won in the continuous lottery performed when the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0, or the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 is 0. either end condition is satisfied takes place if to win the fall lottery after becoming a non-elected continuation lottery is when it is, or, the number of continuing game of aT allowable state is a 1500 game When the limiter condition is satisfied, the slot machine 1 is set to the AT non-permissible state (end of the AT permissible state). Further, the AT allowable state setting means 100c turns off the notification lamp 60c when the slot machine 1 is set to the AT non-allowable state. When the AT allowable state is terminated by the limiter, the AT allowable state setting means 100c resets the count values of the allowable period game number counter 653 and the AT period game number counter 654 to "0".

In addition, the end condition of the AT allowable state is the identification number at which the AT allowed is won (see FIG. 10), the condition after the AT allowed (the result of the winning combination after the AT allowed, the number of games elapsed since the transition to the AT allowed state , The number of medals won after the transition to the AT permissible state), etc.) may be changed as appropriate. By being able to change the end conditions of the AT allowable state in various ways, it is possible to further improve the playability.

(1-4) Continuation rank determination means 100d
As shown in FIG. 20, this embodiment AT game is a continuation rate type that continues to the next set when a continuous lottery at the end of each set is won in 50 games per set, and the continuation rank determining means 100d is It determines the basic continuation rate (basic continuation rank) in the continuation lottery held at the end of each set. The continuation rank determining means 100d continues for AT permissible winning when the AT permissible state setting means 100c sets the initial number of games (50 games for each set in this embodiment) in the AT period game number counter 654 (FIG. 4). The basic continuation rank is determined by a distribution lottery using the rank distribution table 673.

For example, based on the winning of the identification number 17 “AT allowance + AT right + cherry”, the AT allowance state setting means 100c sets the initial number of games (50 games for each set in this embodiment) to the AT period game number counter 654 (FIG. 4). When set, the continuation rank determination means 100d determines the basic continuation rank using the AT allowable winning continuation rank distribution table 673 shown in FIG. 21. In this table 673, basic continuation rank 1 (continuation rate 40%) is 60%, basic continuation rank 2 (continuation rate 50%) is 25%, basic continuation rank 3 (continuation rate 60%) is 10%, and basic continuation rank. It is designed so that 4 (continuation rate 70%) is selected with a probability of 4% and basic continuation rank 5 (continuation rate 80%) is selected with a probability of 1%, and the continuation rate can be added by the continuation rate addition means 100e described later. If not, a continuous lottery at the end of each set is performed based on the basic continuous rank determined by the continuous rank determining means 100d. The continuous rank distribution table 673 for AT allowable winning is individually provided for each type of identification number including the AT allowable combination, and the continuous rank determination means 100d uses the table 673 according to the type of identification number. Determine the basic continuation rank.

(1-5) Continuation rate addition means 100e
Continuation rate plus means 100 e, when was elected to the identification number, including AT right role in the AT period, the increase in the number of continuation ranked by lottery using the AT continuation rate plus table 674 or AT basic continuation rank UP table 675 It is decided, and there are cases where the continuation rank is raised only at the end of the set (short-term continuation rate increase) and cases where it is reflected in the continuation lottery at the end of each set after the set (long-term continuation rate increase). ..

If the continuation rate addition means 100e wins an identification number that includes the AT right combination but does not include the bonus combination during the AT period (set), the continuation lottery at the end of the set is performed using the AT continuation rate addition table 674. Determine the number of increase in the continuation rate (continuation rate rank) used for (short-term continuation rate increase). For example, when the identification number 17 “AT tolerance + AT right + cherry” is won, the continuation rate addition means 100e determines how many ranks to increase from the basic continuation rank by using the AT continuation rate addition table 674 shown in FIG. 23. To do. In this table 674, 1 rank UP is selected with a probability of 80%, and 2 rank UP is selected with a probability of 20%. Therefore, for example, when the continuation rank determination means 100d determines the basic continuation rank 1, and the continuation rate addition means 100e selects 1 rank UP, the continuation lottery at the end of the set has a 50% probability ( It will continue to the next set with continuation rank 2).

Further, in the bonus game (BB1) during the AT period, when the identification number 14 “AT right + BAR matching replay” is won, the continuation rate addition means 100e ends the set using the AT continuation rate addition table 674 shown in FIG. Determine the number of increase in the continuation rate (continuation rate rank) used for the continuation lottery at the time (short-term continuation rate increase). In this table 674, 1 rank UP, 2 rank UP, 3 rank UP, and 4 rank UP are configured to be selected with a probability of 25%, respectively. Such an AT continuation rate addition table 674 is individually provided for each type of identification number including the AT right combination but not the bonus combination. If the continuation rank is "5" and the continuation rate is added, the continuation to the next set may be confirmed. Further, in this embodiment, the continuation rank is increased by at least one rank, but it may be lost with a predetermined probability.

In addition, when the continuation rate addition means 100e wins the identification number including both the AT right combination and the bonus combination during the AT period, at the end of each set after the set by lottery using the AT basic continuation rank UP table 675. Determine the number of increase in the continuation rate (basic continuation rank) used for the continuation lottery (long-term continuation rate increase). For example, when the identification number 20 "AT allowance + AT right + red 7 big + cherry" is won, the continuation rate addition means 100e is used for the continuous lottery after the winning set using the AT basic continuation rank UP table 675 shown in FIG. Determine the number of basic continuation rank increases. In this table 675, the probability of 1 rank UP being 80%, 2 rank UP being 15%, and 3 rank UP being 5% is selected. Therefore, for example, when the continuation rank determination means 100d determines the basic continuation rank 1, and the continuation rate addition means 100e selects 3 ranks UP of the basic continuation rank, in the continuation lottery after the end of the set, the continuation lottery will be performed. Each time, there is a probability of 70% (continuation rank 4) or more to continue to the next set. Such an AT basic continuation rank UP table 675 is individually provided for each type of identification number including both the AT right combination and the bonus combination. In this embodiment, the basic continuation rank is increased by at least one rank, but it may be lost with a predetermined probability. In addition, the lottery to determine the number of increase in the basic continuation rank may be performed at any time of winning the identification number including both the AT right combination and the bonus combination, winning the bonus, and ending the bonus. ..

Further, the ratio of the increase in the continuation rank by the continuation rate addition means 100e may be changed according to the number of remaining games up to the limiter in the AT allowable state. In this case, for example, until the number of continuous games in the AT allowable state is 500 games (first half), at least one of the AT continuation rate addition table 674 and the AT basic continuation rank UP table 675 with a large increase in the number of continuation ranks is selected. Set it to be easy to continue to the next set. Further, until the number of continuous games in the AT allowable state is 501 to 1000 games (middle stage), it is difficult to select at least one of the AT continuation rate addition table 674 and the AT basic continuation rank UP table 675 with a large increase in the continuous rank. Set to. In addition, from the 1001 game to the limiter (second half), at least one of the AT continuation rate addition table 674 and the AT basic continuation rank UP table 675 is set again so that the one with a large increase in the continuation rank can be easily selected as the limiter. Make it easier to reach. At this time, the number of games remaining until the limiter when the basic continuation rank is increased due to the winning of the identification number including both the bonus combination and the AT right combination may be determined at the timing of winning the bonus. , You may judge at the timing of winning. In addition, when the AT continuation rate addition table 674 and the AT basic continuation rank UP table 675 are set to lose without increasing the continuation rank, the selection ratio of the loss is different between the first half, the middle stage, and the second half of the duration of the AT allowable state. Each table 674, 675 may be designed. By changing the AT continuation rate addition table 674 and the AT basic continuation rank UP table 675 according to the number of continuous games in the AT allowable state in this way, it is possible to diversify the playability of the AT game. In addition, the limiter that causes a decrease in interest can be associated with an increase in the continuation rank that contributes to the improvement of interest.

(1-6) Continuous lottery means 100f
The continuous lottery means 100 f determines whether or not to continue to the next set when the set of the AT period is completed, based on a predetermined continuation rate. In this case, the continuous lottery means 100f performs a continuous lottery when the count value of the AT period game counter 654 reaches "0" after digesting 50 games in one set, and if the player wins (continues) in this lottery, , The count value of the AT period game number counter 654 is set to "50" again. The predetermined continuation rate is based on the basic continuation rank determined by the continuation rank determining means 100d, and if there is an addition of the continuation rate (rank UP) based on the AT continuation rate addition table 674 during the set, It is the continuation rate after rank UP. In addition, if the identification number including both the AT right combination and the bonus combination is won during the AT period and the basic continuation rank is added (rank UP) based on the AT basic continuation rank UP table 675, the continuation thereafter. The basic continuation rank used for the lottery will be replaced with the one after rank UP.

If the continuous lottery means 100f is not won, the AT period ends and the AT allowable state ends in the game in principle. However, if you win the identification number that includes both the AT-allowed combination and the watermelon (watermelon A or watermelon B) and move to the AT-allowed state, if you do not win in the continuous lottery, the AT period will end. The AT permissible state continues, and the AT permissible state ends when the fall lottery after the end of the continuous lottery (non-winning) is won. This fall lottery is held for each game that wins a role other than the so-called rare role such as watermelon or cherry after the continuous lottery (non-winning) is completed, and there is a 1/8 chance of falling (winning). .. In addition, if the identification number including the AT right is won before the fall lottery is won, the AT period is restored .

Even if the continuous rank determining means 100d determines the basic continuous rank of the AT period by performing the above-mentioned distribution lottery using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the winning combination lottery means 103. Alternatively, a random number value (lottery value) for distribution may be newly generated, and the distribution lottery may be performed using this. Further, regarding the continuation rate addition means 100e, a lottery for determining the number of increase in the continuation rate (continuation rate rank) and a lottery for determining the rank UP number of the basic continuation rank are used for the role lottery of the role lottery means 103. The lottery value that is the same as the value may be used, or a random number value (lottery value) may be newly generated and each of the above-mentioned lottery numbers may be performed.

In this way, while improving security by uniquely determining the basic continuation rank and the number of additions of the continuation rate based on the lottery value used for the winning combination lottery, how the continuation rate addition means 100e is added. Since it is possible to freely design what to do, the degree of freedom in designing the AT game can be increased.

Further, the AT continuation rate addition table 674 or the AT basic continuation rank UP table 675 uses the same table for each set value (ball output rate), and each table 674, 675 is used as the result of the winning combination lottery after the AT is allowed. It may be changed as appropriate according to the lottery history, the number of games elapsed after the AT is allowed, the number of medals won after the AT is allowed, and the like.

(1-7) AT playable state determination means 100 g
When the AT playable state determining means 100g wins the identification number (see FIG. 19) including the AT allowable combination in the AT non-allowable state shown in FIG. 5, the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is AT. It is determined that the AT game is possible to play a game, and the flag is set to ON during the AT period set in the flag storage area 651.

(1-8) Outline of Game Next, the outline of the game executed in the slot machine 1 will be described.

The slot machine 1 is configured so that one game (game) is played by inserting three medals, and the insertion sensor 53, the bet switch 15 or the maximum bet switch 17 is used to insert three medals into the slot machine 1. When the input is detected, the horizontal winning line (center line) at the center (middle) of the display window 11 becomes effective. When the start switch 19 is operated here, one of the preset winning combination lottery results is selected by the winning combination lottery means 103 by the lottery processing using random numbers. Further, when all the rotations of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are started, the design of each reel 13L, 13M, and 13R displayed on the display window 11 can be determined by the rotation angle of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R. Is started based on.

After that, the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R accelerate, and the operations of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R become effective, and after the operations of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R become effective. When the operation of the left stop switch 21L is detected, the left reel 13L is stopped, when the operation of the middle stop switch 21M is detected, the middle reel 13M is stopped, and when the operation of the right stop switch 21R is detected, the right reel is stopped. 13R is stopped. In this way, by operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the rotation of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R corresponding to the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is stopped.

When all three left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, the rotation of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R is stopped. At this time, when the predetermined symbol is stopped at a predetermined position on the winning line in the middle of the display window 11 in which the predetermined symbol is valid, that is, the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are displayed in the symbol combination related to the winning of the winning combination. When it is displayed on the window 11, a prize is won, and the number of medals according to the winning mode is credited or paid out from the medal payment exit 39. In addition, instead of paying out medals, or at the same time as paying out medals, a predetermined profit (privilege) may be given to the player. The predetermined profit is, for example, the same number of bets as the winning game without shifting to the bonus game state (BB1) by winning the bonus role described later or inserting a new medal by winning the re-game role described later. Examples include the number of bets automatically set for the next game and the transition of the game state.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a bonus combination and a general combination (replaying combination, small combination) are preset as the types of combination. The bonus role is a transition role to the bonus game state. The replay combination (hereinafter, also referred to as replay) is a role in which, when a prize is won, the next game can be performed with the same number of bets as the winning game without inserting a new medal. A small role is a role in which a predetermined dividend (number of payouts) can be obtained when a prize is won.

-Bonus combination There are two types of bonus combinations, the combination "RBB1" and "RBB2", as the types of symbol combinations for winning. Here, when each reel 13L, 13M, 13R stops in the symbol combination (red 7-red 7-red 7) related to the combination "RBB1", a prize is won and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (BB1). When each reel 13L, 13M, 13R stops in the symbol combination (BAR-BAR-BAR) related to the combination "RBB2", a prize is won and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (BB1). At this time, the symbol combination group "Big 1" is formed by the combination "RBB1", and the symbol combination group "Big 2" is formed by the combination "RBB2". In this embodiment, there is no payout even if the combination "RBB1" and "RBB2" symbol combinations are aligned on the winning line, but a predetermined number of payouts may be given.

The combinations "BBE1" to "BBE4" (symbol combination group "B bell") have the symbol "BE1" or the lower part of the left reel 13L, the lower part of the middle reel 13M, and the lower part of the right reel 13R in the display window 11, respectively. When "BE2" is displayed, the bells are aligned on the lower line. In these combinations, when any of the winning combinations "right middle left correct answer bell 1" to "right middle left correct answer bell 4" (see FIG. 9) is won, the right reel 13R is stopped first and the middle reel 13M is set. It is provided as a symbol combination that stops the second stop and the left reel 13L at the winning line when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the pressing order of the third stop. When these combinations are aligned on the winning line, a prize is won and a payout of "9" is obtained.

ii) When the first stop is the correct answer The symbol combination group "left correct answer AT" is the winning combination "left middle right correct answer bell 1" to "left middle right correct answer bell 4", "left and right middle correct answer bell 1" to "left and right middle" When any of the correct answer bells 4 (see FIG. 9) is won, if the first stop is the left reel 13L and the push order is correct, and the push order of the second stop reel is incorrect, the game stops at the winning line. It is provided as a group of symbol combinations. When the combinations forming the group are aligned on the winning line, the winning is won and the payout number "1" is obtained.

The symbol combination group "Middle Right Left Correct AT" is any of the winning combinations "Middle Left Right Correct Bell 1" to "Middle Left Right Correct Bell 4", "Middle Right Left Correct Bell 1" to "Middle Right Left Correct Bell 4" (see Fig. 9). When the crab is won, the first stop is provided as a group of symbol combinations that stop at the winning line when the push order is correct on the middle reel 13M and the push order of the second stop reel is incorrect. When the combinations forming the group are aligned on the winning line, the winning is won and the payout number "1" is obtained.

The symbol combination group "Right Correct Answer AT" is the winning combination "Right Left Middle Correct Answer Bell 1" to "Right Left Middle Correct Answer Bell 4", "Right Middle Left Correct Answer Bell 1" to "Right Middle Left Correct Answer Bell 4" (see Fig. 9). When any of the above is won, the first stop is the right reel 13R and the push order is correct, and if the push order of the second stop reel is incorrect, it is provided as a group of symbol combinations that stop at the winning line. .. When the combinations forming the group are aligned on the winning line, the winning is won and the payout number "1" is obtained.

When the combinations forming the group are aligned on the winning line, the winning is won and the payout number "1" is obtained. In addition, each combination forming these symbol combination groups is configured so as not to win a prize unless the operation timings of the second and third stops are matched (missing). In addition, there are cases where the winning combination including these is only one of these symbol combination groups, and depending on the operation timing, 5 frames (operation timing frame + maximum slip 4 frames described later) may not be won. This is because there are no symbols that make up the symbol combination within).

iv) When the first stop is an incorrect answer in the middle of the symbol combination group "A1 medium incorrect answer AT", "B1 medium incorrect answer AT", "C1 medium incorrect answer AT", "D1 medium incorrect answer AT", "A2 medium""Incorrect answer AT", "B2 medium incorrect answer AT", "C2 medium incorrect answer AT", "D2 medium incorrect answer AT" are all awarded when the first stop is the middle reel 13M and the push order is incorrect. It is provided as a group of symbol combinations that can stop on the line. When the combinations forming the group are aligned on the winning line, the winning is won and the payout number "1" is obtained. In addition, each combination forming these symbol combination groups is configured so as not to win a prize unless the operation timings of the second and third stops are matched (missing). In addition, there are cases where the winning combination including these is only one of these symbol combination groups, and depending on the operation timing, 5 frames (operation timing frame + maximum slip 4 frames described later) may not be won. This is because there are no symbols that make up the symbol combination within).

v) When the first stop is on the right and the answer is incorrect The symbol combination groups "A right incorrect answer AT", "B right incorrect answer AT", "C right incorrect answer AT", and "D right incorrect answer AT" are all When the first stop is the right reel 13M and the push order is incorrect, it is provided as a group of symbol combinations that can stop at the winning line. When the combinations forming the group are aligned on the winning line, the winning is won and the payout number "1" is obtained. In addition, each combination forming these symbol combination groups is configured so as not to win a prize unless the operation timings of the second and third stops are matched (missing). In addition, there are cases where the winning combination including these is only one of these symbol combination groups, and depending on the operation timing, 5 frames (operation timing frame + maximum slip 4 frames described later) may not be won. This is because there are no symbols that make up the symbol combination within).

As described above, if you win any of the winning combination "pushing order bells", you will get 9 payouts if you answer correctly in the pushing order set for the winning combination, whereas if you answer incorrectly In some cases, you can only get one payout or you won't win. Therefore, the "pushing order bell" is a winning combination (specific combination) in which the player's advantage differs depending on the pushing order.

-Cherry combination "BCH" (symbol combination group "B cherry") is a symbol combination in which the symbol "CH (cherry)" is displayed at the bottom of the left reel 13L in the display window 11, and 5 frames (operation timing frames). Since there are reels 13L, 13M, 13R that do not have a symbol that constitutes a symbol combination within (+ 4 frames of maximum slip), the combination is provided as a combination that does not win if the operation timings of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R do not match. .. In addition, when the combination is aligned with the winning line, the winning is won and the payout number "1" is obtained.

-The watermelon combinations "CDWM1" to "CDWM4" (design combination group "CD watermelon") are all designed "WM" in the upper part of the left reel 13L, the middle part of the middle reel 13M, and the lower part of the right reel 13R in the display window 11. (Watermelon) ”is displayed, which means that the watermelons are aligned on the downward-sloping line. When the combination is aligned with the winning line, the winning is won and the payout number "4" is obtained. It should be noted that these combinations include reels 13L, 13M, 13R that do not have symbols constituting the symbol combination within the frame (operation timing frame + maximum sliding 4 frames), so that all of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R If the operation timing does not match, the prize will not be won.

The combination "CWM" (design combination group "C watermelon") is a symbol combination in which the watermelons are aligned on the middle line by displaying the symbol "WM" on the winning line (middle line). When the combination is aligned with the winning line, the winning is won and the payout number "4" is obtained. In addition, since these combinations have reels 13L, 13M, 13R that do not have symbols constituting the symbol combination within the frame (operation timing frame + maximum sliding 4 frames), the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R If they don't match, they won't win.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control means 101 of FIG. 4 sets one set value from a plurality of set values (settings 1 to 6) having different ball output rates. This set value is for selecting the winning combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102 described later, and any one of the setting values corresponds to each of the plurality of winning combination lottery tables 671 stored in the ROM 67. It is attached. Then, the setting control means 101 determines the ON / OFF state of the change processing start switch 56 when the power is turned on (when the power switch 50 is turned ON), and the power is turned on with the change processing start switch 56 turned ON. Then, the predetermined setting change process is started.

Here, the winning probability in the lottery in the general game is set to a plurality of stages distinguished by a plurality of types of set values (here, 6 types), and each of the set values of the plurality of stages is set to the winning combination lottery shown in FIG. A table 671 (a lottery table for general games) is associated with the table. Then, when the above setting change process is started, the administrator of the pachinko hall in which the slot machine 1 is installed can change the setting value. At this time, the reset switch 52 is used, and after the setting change process is started, the set value is incremented by 1 each time the reset switch 52 is pressed so that the setting value can be changed. If the reset switch 52 is pressed at the time of setting 6, the setting returns to setting 1.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection means 102 of FIG. 4 is a type of game (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, BB1, etc.) controlled by the game control means 100 on the main control board 63, and a set value (setting) set by the setting control means 101. Based on 1 to setting 6), one lottery table is selected from a plurality of winning combination lottery tables 671 shown in FIG. That is, for example, in a general game, the table selection means 102 selects the combination lottery table 671 (general game lottery table) as the combination lottery table according to the set value of the winning probability (settings 1 to 6).

(4) Role lottery means 103
In the combination lottery means 103 of FIG. 4, at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated to start the game, a plurality of general roles (small combination, re-game combination) including a specific combination and a plurality of combination including a bonus combination ( A winning combination lottery is performed in which which of the winning combinations (see FIG. 10) is won or not is determined by the lottery value generated based on the start of the game. Further, the combination lottery means 103 has a lottery value used for the combination lottery when the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), and the advantageous RT (RT2) are in the AT non-allowable state (see FIG. 10). Using the same lottery value, it is determined whether or not the AT-allowed combination in the AT-allowed state is won (AT-allowed winning). Further, when the winning combination lottery means 103 is in the initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), and bonus gaming state (BB1) in the AT allowable state, the lottery value used for the winning combination lottery. Using the same lottery value as above, it is determined whether or not the AT right combination is won (AT right winning) (see FIG. 10). The combination lottery means 103 includes a lottery value generating means 103a and a lottery value determination determining means 103b.

(4-1) Lottery value generating means 103a
In the lottery value generating means 103a, the random number generating means composed of the oscillation circuit and the counter circuit for counting the clock signal generated by the oscillation circuit is within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 16383 in decimal). By extracting the generated random numbers for the lottery at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated, the lottery values for the winning combination lottery, the AT allowable winning decision, and the AT right winning decision are generated. Since the random number generating means is composed of a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generating means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 19 is operated is considered to be random, the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a can be substantially treated as a random number. The lottery value generating means 103a may generate a lottery value from a random number generated by a random number generator, or may generate a lottery value from a software random number. Further, the lottery value generating means 103a may generate a lottery value by performing a predetermined operation on the extracted random number value or the generated random number value.

(4-2) Lottery value determination determination means 103b
The lottery value determination determining means 103b determines which of the plurality of combinations including the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination has been won by determining the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a. To do.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, in the combination lottery table 671, a plurality of combinations (AT allowable combination, AT right combination, small) shown in FIG. 9 are shown for each lottery value within the range generated by the random number generation means. The correspondence between the lottery value and the winning combination for determining which of the winning combination, the BB1 middle role, the replaying combination, and the bonus combination) is won or is lost is preset. The lottery value determination determination means 103b refers to the winning combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102, and sets which combination the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a is set to win or loses. By determining whether or not the winning combination is performed, it is determined which of the plurality of winning combination including the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination has been won.

That is, for the entire range of lottery values generated by the lottery value generating means 103a, it is determined that the range of values is determined to shift to the AT allowable state (AT allowable winning) and that the lottery value is not shifted to the AT allowable state (AT allowable non-winning). The range of values is preset in the winning combination lottery table 671, and the lottery value determining means 103b sets the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a for the winning combination lottery into the AT allowable state based on the start of the game. It is also used to decide whether to migrate. Further, regarding the entire range of the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a, the range of the value for winning the AT right (lottery with the number of games added) and the range of the value for not winning the AT right are set in advance in the winning combination lottery table 671. The lottery value determination unit 103b determines whether or not to add the number of games to the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a for the winning combination lottery based on the start of the game. Also used to do.

Further, in the winning combination lottery table 671, some lottery values are set to be duplicated in winning a plurality of winning combinations, so that the lottery value determination determining means 103b is the total lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a. When the range is determined, that is, as the result of the winning combination lottery of the winning combination lottery means 103, the winning combination groups shown in FIG. 10 are configured, and each winning combination group is given a unique identification number. Among the identification numbers (winning combination groups) shown in FIG. 10, for the winning combination group of the identification number composed of a plurality of combinations, the symbol combination related to all the combinations constituting the winning combination group of the identification number. Is in a state where it is allowed to line up on the winning line. The identification numbers 33 to 56 in FIG. 10 correspond to the push order bells whose lower winning combination numbers are "11h" to "28h", respectively, as shown in FIG. 9, but they are not shown.

Further, if the identification number (winning combination group) won in the AT non-allowable state includes the AT allowable combination, the AT allowable combination is won, and the slot machine 1 is set to the AT allowable state by the AT allowable state setting means 100c. To. In addition, a distribution lottery using the AT permissible winning continuous rank distribution table 673 (see FIGS. 4 and 19) corresponding to the winning identification number is performed by the continuous rank determining means 100d. In addition, if the AT right combination is included in the winning identification number (winning combination group) in the AT allowable state, the AT right is won, and the AT continuation rate addition table 674 corresponding to the winning identification number (see FIG. 22). A lottery for determining the number of increases in the continuation rate (continuation rate rank) based on the above is performed by the continuation rate addition means 100e. In addition, if the winning identification number in the AT allowable state (during the AT period) includes both the AT right combination and the bonus combination, the AT right is won and the AT basic continuation rank UP corresponding to the winning identification number is obtained. A lottery for determining the number of increases in the basic continuation rank based on the table 675 (see FIG. 22) is performed by the continuation rate addition means 100e.

As shown in FIG. 16, regarding some specific lottery values among the lottery values in which all the winning combinations are not won (missing) in the winning combination lottery by the winning combination lottery means 103 (FIG. 4) in the normal RT (RT1). Is a replay (specific general role) that is a replay role in the role lottery by the role lottery means 103 in the advantageous RT (RT2), and the lottery values excluding the specific lottery value are the normal RT (RT1) and the advantageous RT. The combination lottery table 671 is set in the combination lottery means 103 in (RT2) so that the combination lottery results are the same. Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the specific lottery value does not include the lottery value for winning the AT allowable combination determined to be in the AT allowable state.

With this configuration, the lottery value for AT permissible winning is not included in the lottery value that changes whether or not the general winning combination is won depending on the gaming state, so the winning probability of the general winning combination according to the change in the gaming state. It is possible to give the player a uniform sense of expectation about the AT permissible winning regardless of the change in the level of.

In this embodiment, the ROM 67 of the main control board 63 is composed of a storage area (used area) such as a game program for storing game programs and data related to the progress of the game, and an area other than this (non-used area). The data related to the progress of the game and the other data are clearly separated. In the unused area, for example, programs and data for performing fraud determination are stored. The data of the above-mentioned combination lottery table 671 is stored in a storage area such as a game program in the storage area of the ROM 67.

Here, the data of the winning combination lottery table 671 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 17. The area for storing the winning combination lottery table 671 of the ROM 67 of the main control board 63 is at least one of the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination. An AT lottery value storage area that stores lottery value range data of an identification number (for example, identification number 3) including the above, and a non-AT that stores lottery range data of an identification number (for example, identification number 2) that does not include any of these. It is composed of a lottery value storage area. At this time, the lottery range data of the identification number that does not include the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination is not stored in the AT lottery value storage area, while the non-AT lottery value storage area includes the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination. The lottery range data of the identification number is configured so as not to be stored.

In this embodiment, the lottery range data (common data) having the same value is set for each identification number (for example, identification number 3) including the AT permissible combination and the AT right combination, even if the game state and the type of set value are different. On the other hand, lottery range data is individually set for each identification number (for example, identification number 2) that is not included in the AT permissible combination and the AT right combination, depending on the game state and the type of set value. (See FIGS. 11 to 15). Further, in the non-AT lottery value storage area, the storage area of the lottery range data of each identification number is set at a different position (address) for each type of gaming state and for each type of set value. On the other hand, in the AT lottery value storage area, the storage area of the lottery range data of each identification number is set to a common position (address) regardless of the set value or the type of the game state.

In this embodiment, the area for storing the data of the combination lottery table 671 of the ROM 67 is the area for storing the lottery range data of the identification number not including the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination, and the lottery of the identification number including these. It is divided into two areas, an area for storing range data. For example, an area for storing lottery range data of an identification number including an AT allowable combination but not an AT right combination and an area for storing AT right combination are included. Is divided into an area for storing the lottery range data of the identification number which does not include the AT allowable combination and an area for storing the lottery range data of the identification number which does not include the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination, and these are separate areas. It may be configured to be stored in. Further, the area is divided into two areas, one for storing the lottery range data of the identification number including the AT allowable combination and the other for storing the lottery range data for the identification number not including the AT allowable combination, and these are divided into separate areas of the ROM 67. You may try to remember it. In this way, fraud and defects can be easily determined by determining which region of the lottery range data was used in the winning combination lottery at the time of winning the additional lottery during the AT period or the AT allowable lottery.

Further, as shown in FIG. 18, in the non-AT lottery value storage area, a spare storage area for storing preliminary lottery range data may be provided for each type of identification number including the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination. .. In this case, in the preliminary storage area, the preliminary lottery value range data is stored at different positions for each identification number including the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination for each type of gaming state and for each type of set value. A storage area is provided, and in this embodiment, a value of 0 is stored at each position. The data to be stored in the preliminary storage area may be any data that can be identified as spare data, and data such as 65536 or FF may be stored in addition to 0. Further, in this case, if the data in the preliminary storage area is used to determine whether or not the identification number including the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination has been won in the combination lottery, it is determined that an abnormal combination lottery has been performed. An abnormal lottery determination means may be provided. In this case, the abnormal lottery determining means determines, for example, the lottery range data used for the winning combination lottery when the internally won identification number includes the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination, and the value is If it is 0, 65536, or FF, it may be determined that an abnormal winning combination lottery has been performed. By doing so, for example, even when the design is changed from the identification number including the AT allowable combination and the AT right role to the identification number not including the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination, the identification number not including the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination is included. By adding the lottery range data of the number, the storage position of the other lottery range data does not shift and the program change is not complicated, and the design can be easily changed. Further, since the data in the spare storage area can be identified as being spare, it is possible to prevent confusion with the regular data. Further, when there is an fraud using the data in the preliminary storage area, the fraud can be reliably determined by the abnormal lottery determination means.

Further, as described above, in each game state (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, BB1), the lottery value in a predetermined range is associated with the identification number of each winning combination group in advance, but the AT allowable combination and AT The same data (lottery value) is associated with the identification number including the winning of at least one of the rights and combinations, regardless of the set value. That is, the lottery value determined to be the AT allowable winning by the lottery value determination determining means 103b in the game in the AT game non-allowable state is the same regardless of the type of the set value, and the lottery value is the same in the game in the AT game allowable state. The lottery value determined by the determination determination means 103b to win the AT right is the same regardless of the type of set value.

With this configuration, the expected value for AT allowable winning and the expected value for AT right winning do not change depending on the set value set by the setting control means 101, so that the player can obtain the AT allowable winning and the AT right winning. Since it is possible to always have a uniform sense of expectation, it is possible to improve the interest of the player .

In the examples shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, the identification number (for example, push order bell: identification number 33 to 56) in which a different lottery value range is set for each set value is also irrespective of the type of set value. The same range of lottery values may be set for.

Next, the names of the roles that make up the winning combination group of each identification number in FIG. 10 will be specifically described.

As shown in FIG. 9, the role names are "AT allowable", "AT right", "Red 7 big", "BAR big", "Normal replay", "Promotion replay 1" to "Promotion replay 6", and "Fall". "Replay 1"-"Tumble Replay 3", "BAR Matching Replay", "Fake Play", "Cherry", "Watermelon A", "Watermelon B", "Pushing Order No matter Bell", "Left Middle Right Correct Answer Bell 1" ~ "Left middle right correct answer bell 4", "Left and right middle correct answer bell 1" ~ "Left and right middle correct answer bell 4", "Middle left and right correct answer bell 1" ~ "Middle left and right correct answer bell 4", "Middle right left correct answer bell 1" ~ "Middle right left correct answer bell 4", "Right left middle correct answer bell 1" ~ "Right left middle correct answer bell 4", "Right middle left correct answer bell 1" ~ "Right middle left correct answer bell 4", "BB1 middle role" Kind of combination is set. These combinations except for "AT allowance" and "AT right" are each composed of one or a plurality of types of symbol combination groups.

Here, when a winning combination group (identification number) including a combination composed of a plurality of symbol combination groups is won (see FIG. 10), all the symbol combination groups constituting the combination are aligned on the winning line and won a prize. It is a state where it is allowed to do. Specifically, for example, when the "promotion replay 6" shown in FIG. 9 is won, any symbol combination of the symbol combination groups "N lip", "U lip", "SP1", and "SP2" is aligned on the winning line. Is a permissible state.

As shown in FIG. 9, "Red 7 Big" and "BAR Big" are bonus combinations, and "Normal Replay" is a replay combination that is irrelevant to the transition of the gaming state. In addition, "promotion replay 1" to "promotion replay 6" are replay roles provided as specific roles to which a privilege that the game state is promoted (RT1 → RT2) depending on the push order is given. In addition, "fall replay 1" to "fall replay 3" are all provided as specific roles to which the privilege that the game state is maintained without falling (RT2 → RT1) depending on the pushing order is given (RT2 → RT2). It is a replay role that was played.

In addition, "BAR Matching Replay" is a replaying role that is subject to lottery only during the bonus game (BB1), and in the game that wins this winning combination, if you press it with all reels 13L, 13M, 13R, it will be a symbol. It is configured so that "BAR" is aligned. Specifically, when the symbol "CH (cherry)" is pressed when the left reel 13L is first stopped, the symbol "CH (cherry)" is stopped in the middle stage. At this time, the symbol "BAR" is stopped in the upper row, and when the symbol "BAR" is aimed at at the second and third stops, the symbols "BAR" are aligned in a straight line (diagonally downward). In other cases, such as when the symbol "CH (cherry)" is not pressed at the first stop, the symbol combination group "N Lip" is aligned with the winning line.

In addition, "fake play" is a re-game role that is subject to lottery only in the bonus game state (BB1), and when the symbol "BAR" is pressed in the game that wins this winning combination, the symbol "BAR" is displayed. It is configured so that it will be tempted but not aligned at the final stop. Specifically, when the symbol "CH (cherry)" is pressed when the left reel 13L is first stopped, the symbol "CH (cherry)" is stopped in the middle stage. At this time, the symbol "BAR" is stopped in the upper row, and when the symbol "BAR" is aimed at at the second stop, the symbol "BAR" is tempted diagonally downward. Next, even if the symbol "BAR" is pressed at the third stop, it will not be aligned. In addition, if the symbol "CH (cherry)" is not pressed at the first stop, any of the combinations "NRP1" to "NRP12" constituting the symbol combination group "N lip" will be aligned on the winning line. ing. Further, when the button is pushed backward (right → middle → left), any of the symbol combination groups “SRP1” to “SRP4” is aligned with the winning line.

In addition, "cherry", "watermelon A", and "watermelon B" are all small roles related to the payout of medals (game value). In the symbol combination group that constitutes these small combinations, reels 13L, 13M, and 13R that do not form a symbol combination that constitutes a winning combination within 5 frames (operation timing frame + maximum slip 4 frames) are included. Therefore, if the operation timings of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R do not match, omission (non-winning) occurs.

The "bell in any push order" is a small role in which the symbols of the symbol combination group "C bell" are aligned on the winning line regardless of the push order. If the winning combination is won during the ART in the AT-allowed state shown in FIG. 5, an effect of notifying the player of the pushing order may be executed.

In addition, "left middle right correct answer bell 1" to "left middle right correct answer bell 4" are all specific roles in which the player's advantage (dividend) differs depending on the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. It is a small role as. When these winning combinations are won, the first stop is the left reel 13L, the second stop is the middle reel 13M, and the third stop is the right reel 13R, and the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are used to operate the symbol combination group. The symbols related to "T-bell" are aligned with the winning line and "9" dividends are given. If the operation is performed in any other push order, the symbols related to the symbol combination group with a payout of "1" will be aligned on the winning line or will be missed.

In addition, "Left and right middle correct answer bell 1" to "Left and right middle correct answer bell 4" are all small roles as special roles in which the player's advantage (dividend) differs depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. is there. When these winning combinations are won, the first stop is the left reel 13L, the second stop is the right reel 13R, and the third stop is the middle reel 13M, and the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are used to operate the symbol combination group. The symbols related to the "CD bell" are aligned with the winning line and a dividend of "9" is given. If the operation is performed in any other push order, the symbols related to the symbol combination group with a payout of "1" will be aligned on the winning line or will be missed.

In addition, "middle left and right correct answer bell 1" to "middle left and right correct answer bell 4" are all small roles as specific roles in which the player's advantage (dividend) differs depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. ..

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, when the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is, for example, the identification number 19 "red 7 big + cherry", both "cherry" and "red 7 big" are played. It is a state in which the symbol combinations are allowed to be aligned on the winning line, and there is a possibility that the symbols related to the symbol combinations “RBB1” (see FIG. 6) and “BCH” (see FIG. 8) are aligned on the winning line. In addition, as other identification numbers (role lottery results) including bonus roles, "BAR big + cherry" (identification number 22), "AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A" (identification number 26), "BAR big +" "Watermelon A" (identification number 27), "AT tolerance + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B" (identification number 30), "AT tolerance + AT right + red 7 big + cherry" (identification number 20), "AT right + "Red 7 Big + Cherry" (identification number 21) is configured. Therefore, if the symbol combinations for the winning combinations "cherry", "watermelon A", and "watermelon B" are aligned on the winning line, the expectation of winning the bonus winning combination will increase.

During the bonus internal winning (RT3), the winning status for the bonus combination is carried over, so the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is "Red 7 Big + Cherry" (identification number 19), " When it is one of "BAR big + cherry" (identification number 22), "AT tolerance + AT right + red 7 big + cherry" (identification number 20), "AT right + red 7 big + cherry" (identification number 21) Is not allowed to win a new type of bonus combination, and only the symbol combination related to the winning combination "cherry" is allowed to be aligned on the winning line as a symbol combination other than the carried-over bonus combination. .. Further, the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is any one of the identification numbers "AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A", "BAR big + watermelon A", and "AT allowance + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B". In the case of, no new type of bonus combination is won, and only the symbol combination related to the combination name "Watermelon A" or "Watermelon B" is allowed as a symbol combination other than the carried-over bonus combination. It is permissible to line up on the winning line.

As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, the AT allowable combination is not won during the bonus gaming state (BB1), but for example, the AT allowable combination is also won during BB1. When the lottery value becomes the AT allowable winning, it may be controlled so as to invalidate the AT allowable winning if it is in BB1. Further, in this embodiment, the AT permissible combination and / or the AT right combination is not independently elected, but the AT permissible combination and / or the AT right combination may be independently elected. ..

(5) Decision result storage means 104
The determination result storage means 104 of FIG. 4 stores information that can identify whether or not the bonus combination has been won as the determination result by the lottery value determination determination unit 103b in the first data area of the determination result storage area 652. Information that can identify whether or not a general role has been won is stored in the second data area of the determination result storage area 652, and information that can identify whether or not the AT is allowed state (AT allowed winning) is determined as a result. It is stored in the third data area of the storage area 652, and the information that can identify whether or not the AT right is won is stored in the fourth data area of the determination result storage area 652.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the hexadecimal highest-ranking combination number 1 unique to the AT-allowed combination is assigned, and the hexadecimal highest-ranking combination number 2 unique to the AT right combination is assigned, and each bonus is assigned. A unique hexadecimal upper combination number is assigned to each combination, and a unique hexadecimal lower combination number is assigned to each general combination (replaying combination, small combination, BB1 combination). Then, the determination result storage means 104 stores the combination number assigned to the combination (including the case of loss) constituting the identification number (winning combination group) which is the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 in the determination result storage area. Store in the corresponding data area of 652.

That is, when the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 is any of the identification numbers (winning combination group) including the AT allowable combination shown in FIG. 10, the determination result storage means 104 becomes the winning AT allowable combination. The assigned highest-order combination number 1 "01h" is stored in the 1-byte third data area of the determination result storage area 652. In addition, when the AT allowable combination is lost (non-winning), the determination result storage means 104 stores the highest combination number 1 "00h" assigned to the loss in the data area. In addition, after storing "01h" as the highest position number 1, by maintaining this value, even if there is a new AT allowable combination winning, it is ignored, and the highest position number is satisfied when the end condition or the limiter condition is satisfied. After storing "00h" as 1, it is configured so that AT permissible winning is possible.

Further, when the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is any of the identification numbers (winning combination group) including the AT right combination shown in FIG. 10, the highest combination number 2 "01h" is determined as the determination result storage area. It is stored in the 4th data area of 1 byte of 652. If the AT right combination is lost (non-winning), the determination result storage means 104 stores the highest combination number 2 "00h" assigned to the loss in the data area. Here, for each of the AT permissible winning and the AT right winning, it is possible to judge whether or not the winning is won by turning on or off the flag composed of 1 bit. Therefore, in order to reduce the storage capacity in the combination lottery, unlike the bonus combination and the general role, each of the AT allowable winning and the AT right winning does not use even one byte of storage capacity, and each of the AT allowable winning and the AT right winning. By providing a 1-bit flag that can store ON and OFF and setting ON and OFF of the flag provided corresponding to each, the states of AT permissible winning and AT right winning respectively. May be judged (remembered).

Further, when the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is any of the identification numbers (winning combination group) including the bonus combination shown in FIG. 10, the determination result storage means 104 is assigned to the winning bonus combination. Any of the higher-ranking combination numbers "01h" and "02h" is stored in the 1-byte first data area of the determination result storage area 652. If the bonus combination is lost (non-winning), the determination result storage means 104 stores the higher-ranking combination number "00h" assigned to the loss in the data area. Further, after storing "01h" or "02h" as the higher-ranking combination number, the bonus combination is carried over by maintaining this value until the bonus combination is won.

Further, when the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is any of the identification numbers (winning combination group) including the general combination (replaying combination, small combination, BB1 middle combination) shown in FIG. 10, the determination result The storage means 104 stores any one of the lower combination numbers "01h" to "29h" assigned to the winning general combination in the 1-byte second data area of the determination result storage area 652. In addition, in the case of losing (non-winning) to the general winning combination, the determination result storage means 104 stores the lower winning combination number "00h" assigned to the losing combination in the data area.

With this configuration, bonus combination winnings, general combination winnings, AT allowable winnings, and AT right winnings are stored and managed in parallel, so when determining these winnings using the same lottery value, Each winning can be managed collectively. Further, by storing and managing the data in this way, it is possible to make a judgment by referring to only the data type required for one control, so that the processing can be performed efficiently.

An AT allowable state storage area for storing the AT allowable state may be further provided. In this case, in the case of the AT allowable winning, the highest combination number 1 "01h" is temporarily stored in the determination result storage area 652, and the data stored in the separately provided AT allowable state storage area is confirmed. If "00h" is stored in the AT allowable state storage area, "01h" may be stored in the AT allowable state storage area. Then, after storing "01h" in the storage area for the AT allowable state, this value may be maintained until the end condition or the limiter condition is satisfied.

Further, in this embodiment, it is configured so that a plurality of general roles are not elected at the same time, but when a plurality of general roles are configured to be elected at the same time, a plurality of winning general roles are won. The storage capacity of the second data area of the determination result storage area 652 may be set so that all of the lower winning combination numbers assigned to each can be stored. In addition, a subordinate combination number is newly assigned to each combination of general winning combinations that are simultaneously elected, and the subordinate combination number assigned to the combination of general winning combinations that are simultaneously elected is stored in the second data area of the determination result storage area 652. You may.

Further, when the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is confirmed, when the slot machine 1 is set to the AT non-allowable state, the determination result storage area in which the highest combination number 1 for the AT allowable combination is stored is stored. The third data area of 652 is referred to, but the fourth data area of the determination result storage area 652 in which the highest combination number 2 for the AT right combination is stored is not referred to, and the slot machine 1 is in the AT allowable state. When set to, the fourth data area of the determination result storage area 652 in which the highest-level combination number 2 for the AT right combination is stored is referred to, but the other identification numbers are the most for the AT allowable combination. The third data area of the determination result storage area 652 in which the higher-ranking combination number 1 is stored is not referenced.

When the symbol "BAR" of the right reel 13R is pressed at the final stop, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that the symbols "BAR" are not aligned. In the case of reverse push (right → middle → left), the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that any one of the symbol combination groups “SP rip 1” to “SP rip 4” is aligned. .. If the first stop is the middle reel 13M or the first stop is the left reel 13L, but the operation timing is such that the symbol "CH (cherry)" cannot be pulled in, the stop control means 105 uses the symbol combination group "N lip Is given priority, and the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped and controlled.

"Cherry" is composed of a symbol combination group "B cherry". When the stop control means 105 wins the identification number including the winning combination, in order to win the symbol combination group "B cherry", all of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R have a winning line of the constituent symbols within the retractable range. Stop control to stop at (middle). For example, when the stop switch 21L is operated at the operation timing for pulling in the symbol "BAR" on the left reel 13L, the stop control of the left reel 13L is performed so that the symbol "BAR" is stopped in the middle stage. In both the middle reel 13M and the right reel 13R, the symbol "CH" for winning is arranged at a position where the stop switch 21M and 21R can be stopped (pulled in) at any timing. , The stop control means 105 performs stop control of the middle reel 13M or the right reel 13R so that the symbol “CH” stops in the middle stage, respectively. The stop control means 105 performs stop control of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R so as to cause a loss when the stop switch 21L is not operated at an operation timing at which the symbol "BAR" can be pulled in by the left reel 13L. ..

"Watermelon A" is composed of a symbol combination group "CD watermelon". When the stop control means 105 wins the identification number including the combination, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "WM" can be pulled in the middle reel 13M, the symbol "WM" is stopped in the middle stage. The stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed as described above. In both the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R, the symbol "BE1" or "BE2" for winning is arranged at a position where the stop switches 21M and 21R can be stopped (pulled in) at any timing. Therefore, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the left reel 13L or the right reel 13R so that the symbols "BE1" or "BE2" are stopped in the middle stage, respectively. The stop control means 105 controls the stop of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R so as to cause a loss when the middle stop switch 21M is not operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "WM" can be pulled in by the middle reel 13M. Do.

"Watermelon B" is composed of a symbol combination group "CD watermelon" and a symbol combination group "C watermelon". When the stop control means 105 wins the identification number including the combination, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "WM" can be pulled in the middle reel 13M, the symbol "WM" is stopped in the middle stage. The stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed as described above. Both the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R have a design (CD watermelon: "BE1" or "BE1" or "CD watermelon:" BE1 "" that can be stopped (pulled in) in the middle stage regardless of when the stop switches 21M and 21R are operated. Since "BE2" and C watermelon: "WM") are arranged, the stop control means 105 has the left reel 13L or the left reel 13L so that any of the symbols "BE1", "BE2" and "WM" is stopped in the middle stage, respectively. Stop control of the right reel 13R is performed. In this embodiment, one of the symbol combination group "CD watermelon" and the symbol combination group "C watermelon" is configured to preferentially win a prize according to the operation timing of the stop switch 21L. The stop control means 105 controls the stop of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R so as to cause a loss when the middle stop switch 21M is not operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "WM" can be pulled in by the middle reel 13M. Do.

As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, an identification number is set in which two types of the bonus combination, the small combination, and the replay combination are simultaneously won. It is configured to win in the order of priority of replay, small, and bonus.

For example, the identification number 4 "AT allowance + AT right + red 7 big + normal replay" is composed of the symbol combination groups "N lip" and "big 1". In the game in which the identification number 4 is won, when the left stop switch 21L is pressed at the first stop, the symbol related to the bonus prize (symbol "red 7") and the symbol related to the replay winning (symbol "RP1" or " When both of the RP2 ") can be pulled in, the stop control means 105 performs reel control so that the symbol related to the re-game winning is stopped at the winning line. As described above, since the normal replay is designed so that no omission occurs, in the winning game of the identification number 4, the normal replay is always won without winning the red 7 big.

The identification number 26 (“AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A”) is composed of the symbol combination groups “CD watermelon” and “big 1”. In the game in which the identification number 26 is won, when the left stop switch 21L is pressed at the first stop, the symbol related to the bonus prize (design "red 7") and the symbol related to the watermelon A prize (design "BE1" or "design" When both BE2 ”) can be pulled in, the stop control means 105 performs reel control so that the symbol related to the watermelon A winning is stopped at the winning line. In the case of the left reel 13L, the entire pullable range of the symbol (Red 7) for winning the Red 7 Big is the pullable range of the symbol for the Watermelon A winning, so the first stop is stopped. In the case of the left reel 13L, even if the watermelon A can be won, the red 7 big cannot be won.

Identification numbers 19 to 21 (“(AT tolerance + AT right +) red 7 big + cherry”) are composed of symbol combination groups “B cherry” and “big 1”. When the identification number is won, the stop control means 105 performs cherry-priority reel control. In the case of the middle reel 13M, the entire pullable range of the symbol (Red 7) related to the red 7 big prize is the pullable range of the symbol related to the cherry prize, so the first stop is medium. In the case of reel 13M, even if cherry winning is possible, red 7 big winning is not possible.

The identification number 22 (“BAR big + cherry”) is composed of the symbol combination groups “B cherry” and “big 2”. When the identification number is won, the stop control means 105 performs cherry-priority reel control.

The identification number 27 (“BAR Big + Watermelon A”) is composed of the symbol combination groups “CD Watermelon” and “Big 2”. When the identification number is won, the stop control means 105 performs reel control in which watermelon A is prioritized.

The identification number 30 (“AT tolerance + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B”) is composed of the symbol combination groups “CD watermelon”, “C watermelon” and “big 1”. When the stop control means 105 wins the identification number including the winning combination, the watermelon B priority reel control is performed.

In addition, "Watermelon A" is set as a role to win both "Red 7 Big" and "BAR Big" which are bonus roles at the same time, but "Watermelon B" is set at the same time as only "Red 7 Big". It is set as a winning role. Therefore, if the symbol combinations of the symbol combination group "C watermelon" that appears only when "Watermelon B" is won are aligned on the winning line, the expectation for winning "Red 7 Big" will increase.

When the "bell in any push order" is won, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that the symbol combination group "C bell" is aligned with the winning line regardless of the push order. .. Regardless of the operation timing, the symbol combination group always wins because the constituent symbols are arranged on the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so as to be drawn into the winning line.

"Left middle right correct answer bell 1"-"left middle right correct answer bell 4", "left and right middle correct answer bell 1"-"left and right middle correct answer bell 4", "middle left and right correct answer bell 1"-"middle left and right correct answer bell 4", "Middle right left correct answer bell 1"-"Middle right left correct answer bell 4", "Right left middle correct answer bell 1"-"Right left middle correct answer bell 4", "Right middle left correct answer bell 1"-"Right middle left correct answer bell 4" , Each is configured so that the symbol combination group that wins the prize with priority depends on the pushing order.

For example, when the "left middle right correct answer bell 1" is won, the stop control means 105 has the highest payout in the case of the "left → middle → right" push order (when the push order is correct). Stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is performed so that the "T bell" wins the prize with priority. Since the symbol combination group is a symbol combination group with no omissions (non-winning), be sure to win a prize.

When the first stop is the left reel 13L and the second stop is the right reel 13R, that is, when the second stop is an incorrect answer, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "left correct answer AT" and reels 13L. , 13M, 13R stop control is performed. Since the symbol combination group is a symbol combination group without any omissions, a prize must be won.

When the first stop is the middle reel 13M (when the first stop is an incorrect answer), the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "A1 middle incorrect answer AT" and controls the stops of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Do. Specifically, since the symbol related to the winning of the middle reel 13M of the symbol combination group "A1 middle incorrect answer AT" is "BE1", the stop control means 105 causes the symbol to stop at the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. The stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. Since the symbol is not missed, it always stops at the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. Subsequently, for example, when the second stop is the left reel 13L, the symbol for winning the left reel 13L of the symbol combination group "A1 medium incorrect answer AT" is "BAR" or "BE1", so either of these. When the left reel 13L is stopped at the timing of pulling in even one of them, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the left reel 13L so that the symbol stops in the middle stage of the left reel 13L. In the case of other timings, it will be missed (non-winning) regardless of the operation timing of the third stop. If both symbols can be pulled in, it is preferable to give priority to one of them for stop control. In addition, at the final stop (right reel 13R) when the winning symbol is pulled in at the second stop (left reel 13L), the winning of the right reel 13R of the symbol combination group "A1 middle incorrect answer AT" is applied. When the left reel 13L is stopped at the timing when either of the symbols "Red 7" and "BL" can be retracted, the stop control means 105 determines the right reel 13R so that the symbol stops at the middle stage of the right reel 13R. Stop control of. In the case of other timings, even though the winning symbols are stopped on the 1st and 2nd stop reels, the winning symbols are missed (non-winning). Similar stop control is performed when the second stop reel is the right reel 13R.

When the first stop is the right reel 13R (when the first stop is an incorrect answer), the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "A right incorrect answer AT" and stops the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Take control. Specifically, since the symbol related to the winning of the right reel 13R of the symbol combination group "A right incorrect answer AT" is "CH", the stop control means 105 causes the symbol to stop at the middle stage of the right reel 13M. The stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. Since the symbol is not missed, it always stops at the middle stage of the right reel 13M. Subsequently, for example, when the second stop is the left reel 13L, the symbol for winning the left reel 13L of the symbol combination group "A right incorrect answer AT" is "BAR" or "BE1", so either of these. When the left reel 13L is stopped at the timing of pulling in even one of them, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the left reel 13L so that the symbol stops in the middle stage of the left reel 13L. In the case of other timings, it will be missed (non-winning) regardless of the operation timing of the third stop. If both symbols can be pulled in, it is preferable to give priority to one of them for stop control. In addition, at the final stop (right reel 13R) when the winning symbol is pulled in at the second stop (left reel 13L), the winning of the middle reel 13M of the symbol combination group "A1 middle incorrect answer AT" is applied. When the left reel 13L is stopped at the timing when either of the symbols "BAR" and "RP1" can be retracted, the stop control means 105 of the right reel 13R so that the symbol stops at the middle stage of the right reel 13R. Performs stop control. In the case of other timings, even though the winning symbols are stopped on the 1st and 2nd stop reels, the winning symbols are missed (non-winning). Similar stop control is performed when the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M. In the case of "left middle right correct answer bell 1", the push order (left → middle → right) in which the symbol combination group “T bell” with the highest payout is aligned with the winning line is the push order advantageous to the player.

"Left middle right correct bell 2"-"left middle right correct bell 4" and "left and right middle correct bell 1"-"left and right middle correct bell 4", "middle left and right correct bell 1"-"middle left and right correct bell 4", About "Middle Right Left Correct Answer Bell 1"-"Middle Right Left Correct Answer Bell 4", "Right Left Middle Correct Answer Bell 1"-"Right Left Middle Correct Answer Bell 4", "Right Middle Left Correct Answer Bell 1"-"Right Middle Left Correct Answer Bell 4" Also, as with "Left, Middle, Right, Correct Answer Bell 1", the priority symbol combination groups differ depending on the pressing order. That is, for any identification number including these combinations, one of the six push orders (first stop correct answer and second stop correct answer) wins 100% and nine are paid out, and one (first stop correct answer) 100% of the stop correct answer and the second stop incorrect answer) will be awarded and one will be paid out. If the four ways (first stop incorrect answer) match the subsequent operation timing of the stop reel, the prize will be awarded and one will be paid out. ..

(7) Notification display control means 106
The notification display control means 106 of FIG. 4 controls the notification on the notification display 60 so that the notification mode is determined by the notification mode determining means 107.

(8) Notification mode determining means 107
The notification mode determination means 107 of FIG. 4 determines the notification mode on the notification display 60 based on the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103, the state of the slot machine 1 (non-AT, AT preparation, AT), and the like. It is the one to decide. Regarding the notification mode determined by the notification mode determining means 107, a command capable of specifying the type is created by the command creating means 108 and transmitted to the sub-control board 73.

Specifically, the notification mode determining means 107 is "cherry", "watermelon A" when the game state is the initial RT (RT0) and is in the non-AT state or in the AT preparation state. , No matter which identification number other than the identification number including "watermelon B" is won, the notification mode is determined so that nothing is notified by the notification display 60.

Further, when the notification mode determining means 107 internally wins the identification number including "cherry" when the game state is the initial RT (RT0) and the game state is in the non-AT state or in the AT preparation state. It is determined to be either a notification mode in which information that can identify the push order (left → middle → right) is notified, or a notification mode in which information that can specify the push order (left → right → middle) is notified. Either of the two notification modes is determined by, for example, a lottery. In addition, the push order (left → middle → right) and push order (left → right → middle) are both when "(AT tolerance +) (AT right +) Red 7 Big + Cherry" is won at the same time. It is a push order that can win both "Cherry" and "Red 7 Big".

By the way, in this embodiment, the first 7-segment LED 60a of the notification display 60 (see FIG. 27) has a notification mode that suggests the next stop operation when the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are stopped. It is configured to change. On the other hand, the second 7-segment LED 60b is for specifying the type of notification mode, and is configured to continue the same notification from the notification to the final stop. Further, as a general rule, the lighting of the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a suggests the stop of the left reel 13L, the lighting of the segment S3 suggests the stop of the middle reel 13M, and the lighting of the segment S6 suggests the stop of the right reel 13R. It suggests a stop. Therefore, for example, in the case of a notification mode in which information that can identify the push order (left → middle → right) is notified, only the segment S1 is turned on in the first 7-segment LED 60a before the first reel is stopped. , It is possible to notify that the first stop reel is the left reel 13L. Next, from the time when the first reel is stopped to the time when the second reel is stopped, it is possible to notify that the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M by lighting only the segment S3 in the first 7-segment LED 60a. Finally, from the time when the second reel is stopped to the time when the third reel is stopped, it is possible to notify that the third stop reel is the right reel 13R by lighting only the segment S6 in the first 7-segment LED 60a.

Further, the notification mode determining means 107 includes an identification number including "watermelon A" or "watermelon B" when the game state is the initial RT (RT0) and is in the non-AT state or in the AT preparation state. In each case, the information that can identify the push order (middle → left → right) is notified, and the information that can specify the push order (middle → right → left) is notified. Determine one of the notification modes. Either of the two notification modes is determined, for example, by lottery. The push order (middle → left → right) and push order (middle → right → left) are “(AT right +) red 7 big + watermelon A”, “watermelon A + BAR big”, and “(AT allowed). +) (AT right +) Red 7 Big + Watermelon B "when you win a small role (" Watermelon A "/" Watermelon B ") or a bonus role ("Red 7 Big "/" BAR Big ") It is a push order that can win both.

Further, the notification mode determining means 107 identifies any of the identification numbers other than the identification numbers including "cherry", "watermelon A", and "watermelon B" when the gaming state is normally RT (RT1) and non-AT. Even if the number is internally won, the notification mode is determined so that the notification display 60 does not notify anything. In addition, the notification mode determining means 107 is in the case where the game state is normal RT (RT1) and is in the state of preparing for AT or during AT, and the winning combination lottery result is "normal replay", "pushing order does not matter bell". Even in the case of the internal winning identification number or the "missing" identification number, the notification mode is determined so that the notification display 60 does not notify anything.

Further, when the notification mode determining means 107 wins the identification number including "cherry" in the normal RT (RT1), the pushing order (in any state of non-AT, AT preparation, and AT) It is determined to be either a notification mode in which the information that can specify the left → middle → right) is notified, or a notification mode in which the push order (left → right → middle) is notified of the information that can be specified.

Further, when the game state is normally RT (RT1) and the identification number including "watermelon A" or "watermelon B" is won, the notification mode determining means 107 is in non-AT, in preparation for AT, or in AT. Even in the state, either the notification mode of notifying the information that can identify the push order (middle → left → right) or the notification mode of notifying the information that can specify the push order (middle → right → left). decide.

Further, the notification mode determining means 107 identifies that the game state is normally RT (RT1), the AT is being prepared or the AT is in progress, and the winning combination lottery result is "promotion replay 1". In the case of numbers, the notification mode is determined so that the notification display 60 notifies information that can identify an advantageous pressing order (left → middle → right). At this time, also in the cases of "promotion replay 2" to "promotion replay 6", the notification mode determining means 107 determines the notification mode in which the notification display 60 notifies information that can specify an advantageous push order.

Further, the notification mode determining means 107 is in the case where the game state is normally RT (RT1) and is in the state of AT preparation or AT, and the combination lottery result is "left middle right correct answer bell 1" to " Left middle right correct bell 4 "," left and right middle correct bell 1 "to" left and right middle correct bell 4 "," middle left and right correct bell 1 "to" middle left and right correct bell 4 "," middle right left correct bell 1 "to" middle Right / Left Correct Answer Bell 4 ”,“ Right / Left Middle Correct Answer Bell 1 ”~“ Right / Left Middle Correct Answer Bell 4 ”,“ Right Middle Left Correct Answer Bell 1 ”~“ Right Middle Left Correct Answer Bell 4 ”In the case of winning any of the identification numbers Also, the notification mode is determined so that the notification display 60 notifies information that can specify each advantageous pressing order.

Further, when the notification mode determination means 107 is in the AT state of the advantageous RT (RT2) in the game state and the winning combination lottery result is the identification number of the internal winning in "fall replay 1", the notification display 60 is used. The notification mode of notifying information that can specify the pressing order of "left-> middle-> right", which is one of the advantageous pressing orders, is determined. At this time, even when the winning combination lottery result is the identification number of the internal winning in "fall replay 2" and "fall replay 3", the notification mode determining means 107 is one of the advantageous push orders on the notification display 60, respectively. The notification mode is determined to notify the information that can identify one.

Further, when the notification mode determining means 107 wins the identification number including "cherry" in the advantageous RT (RT2) in the game state, the push order (left → middle →) is in any state during non-AT and AT. It is determined to be either a notification mode in which the right) is notified of identifiable information or a notification mode in which the push order (left → right → middle) is notified of identifiable information.

Further, when the notification mode determining means 107 internally wins the identification number including "watermelon A" or "watermelon B" in the advantageous RT (RT2) game state, the notification mode determining means 107 may be in any of the non-AT and AT states. It is determined to be either a notification mode in which information that can identify the push order (middle → left → right) is notified, or a notification mode in which information that can specify the push order (middle → right → left) is notified.

Further, the notification mode determining means 107 is in a state during AT in which the gaming state is advantageous RT (RT2), and the winning combination lottery results are "left middle right correct answer bell 1" to "left middle right correct answer bell 4", "left and right". Middle right and left correct answer bell 1 "-" left and right middle correct answer bell 4 "," middle left and right correct answer bell 1 "-" middle left and right correct answer bell 4 "," middle right left correct answer bell 1 "-" middle right left correct answer bell 4 "," right left middle correct answer bell 4 " In the case of an internal winning identification number in any of "Bell 1" to "Right, left, right, correct bell 4", "Right, middle, left, correct bell 1", and "Right, middle, left, correct answer bell 4", an advantageous push on the notification display 60. The notification mode is determined to notify the information whose order can be specified.

Further, when the notification mode determining means 107 is in the state of AT in which the gaming state is advantageous RT (RT2) and the winning combination lottery result is the “bell regardless of push order” and the identification number of the internal winning, the push order “left”. → Middle → Right ”,“ Left → Right → Middle ”,“ Middle → Left → Right ”,“ Middle → Right → Left ”,“ Right → Left → Middle ” The notification mode is determined so that the notification display 60 notifies the information that can specify the push order.

Further, when the game state is the bonus game state (BB1) and the combination lottery result is the identification number of the internal winning in "BAR matching replay" or "fake play", the notification mode determining means 107 is shown in FIG. In the AT allowable state, the notification mode is determined to notify the information that there is a possibility that it may be advantageous to aim the BAR from the left on the notification display 60, and in the AT non-allowable state shown in FIG. , The notification mode is determined so that the notification display 60 does not notify anything. In the AT non-allowable state shown in FIG. 5, a notification suggesting an operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R so that the BARs are not aligned on the notification display 60 may be performed.

Further, when the game state is winning the bonus internal winning (RT3) and the identification number including "cherry" is won, the notification mode determining means 107 is pressed in any of the non-AT, AT preparing, and AT states. It is determined to be either a notification mode in which the order (left → middle → right) is identifiable, or a notification mode in which the push order (left → right → middle) is notified.

Further, when the game state is winning the bonus internal winning (RT3) and the identification number including "watermelon A" or "watermelon B" is won, the notification mode determining means 107 is in non-AT, in preparation for AT, or in AT. In either state, either the notification mode of notifying the information that can specify the push order (middle → left → right) or the notification mode of notifying the information that can specify the push order (middle → right → left). Decide on.

Further, the notification mode determining means 107 is in the case where the game state is the bonus internal winning (RT3) and the AT is in progress, and the winning combination lottery result is "left middle right correct answer bell 1" to "left middle". Right Right Answer Bell 4 ”,“ Left / Right Middle Correct Answer Bell 1 ”~“ Left / Right Middle Correct Answer Bell 4 ”,“ Middle Left / Right Correct Answer Bell 1 ”~“ Middle Left / Right Correct Answer Bell 4 ”,“ Middle Right Left Correct Answer Bell 1 ”~“ Middle Right Left Correct Answer Bell 1 ” If any of the identification numbers of "Bell 4", "Right / Left Middle Correct Answer Bell 1" to "Right / Left Middle Correct Answer Bell 4", "Right Middle Left Correct Answer Bell 1" to "Right Middle Left Correct Answer Bell 4" is won, The notification mode is determined so that the notification display 60 notifies information that can specify each advantageous pressing order. If the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in an advantageous pressing order, these identification numbers will not be missed. Therefore, even if the bonus is internally won, if it is AT, the bonus prize will be won by following the notification. It will be impossible.

(9) Command creation means 108
The command creating means 108 of FIG. 4 has various information such as information on the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103, information on the operation of operating instruments operated by players such as the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and the start switch 19. Is to generate a command for transmitting the information of the above to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71). Then, the command generated by the command creating means 108 is transmitted to the sub-control board 73 by the command transmitting means 113 as described later. The sub control board 73 selects an effect to be executed based on the command sent from the main control board 63. In other words, the command creating means 108 creates a command instructing the effect content to be executed on the sub-control board 73.

Further, the command creating means 108 creates a command corresponding to the notification mode of the notification display 60 based on the state of the slot machine 1 and the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103. For example, a command (for example, "$ 01" in the case of "normal replay") that can specify the type of the combination constituting the combination lottery result (identification number of the winning combination group) of the combination lottery means 103 is created and for notification. A command (for example, "0" when "cherry" is won in the case of non-ART in the initial RT (RT0)) is created so that the type of the notification mode of the display 60 can be specified.

Further, whether or not the command creation means 108 has won the winning combination group of the identification number including the AT allowable combination, the AT right combination, and the bonus combination (“Red 7 Big”, “BAR Big”), and the internal winning combination. Also create a command that can identify the type when doing so.

(10) Reel detecting means 109
The reel detecting means 109 of FIG. 4 transmits the detection signals of the left / middle / right position sensors 55L, 55M, 55R and the reel motors 14L, 14M, 14R for driving the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R. The rotation positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected based on the number of supplied pulses. In this case, the reel detecting means 109 has a symbol located at a predetermined reference position (for example, in the middle of the display window 11 in this embodiment) when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating and when the rotation is stopped. Detect each corresponding frame number.

(11) Symbol determination means 110
In the symbol determination means 110 of FIG. 4, the display mode of the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R stopped by the stop control means 105 is predetermined based on the rotation positions of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. It is determined whether or not the display mode is the same, and it is determined whether or not the display result of the symbol when the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped is the predetermined winning mode.

(12) Payout control means 111
The payout control means 111 of FIG. 4 grants a predetermined privilege (profit) to the player based on the determination result by the symbol determination means 110, and the symbol determination means 110 determines that any combination has been won. When the prize is paid out, after the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit (for example, 50 in this embodiment), the hopper unit 43 is operated to correspond to the winning combination. Profit is given to the player by paying out as many medals as the number paid out. Further, the payout control means 111 increases the credit medals by the number of payouts instead of the operation of the hopper unit 43 as the medal payout until the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit value.

Further, the payout control means 111 validates the winning line of the next game on the assumption that a predetermined number (3 medals) of medals have been inserted when it is determined by the symbol determining means 110 that the re-game combination has been won.

(13) Medal control means 112
The medal control means 112 of FIG. 4 switches between medal acceptance and non-acceptance by controlling the operation of the medal selector 48.

(14) Command transmitting means 113
The command transmitting means 113 of FIG. 4 one-way transmits a command including various information created by the command creating means 108 from the main control board 63 to the sub control board 73. In this case, the game states such as the general game state (RT0, RT1, RT2) and the bonus game state (BB1), the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103, the symbol determination result by the symbol determination means 110, each reel 13L, 13M, 13R. A command including information indicating the state of the slot machine 1 such as the rotation / stop state of the slot machine 1 and the payout state of medals by the payout control means 111 is transmitted to the sub-control board 73.

Further, the command transmitting means 113 transmits a command including data indicating a detection state of the inserted medal by the insertion sensor 53, an operating state of the bet switch 15 and the maximum bet switch 17, and the like to the sub-control board 73. Further, the command transmitting means 113 transmits a command including data indicating that various switches such as the start switch 19 and the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R have been operated by the player to the sub-control board 73.

(15) Allowable state ratio calculation means 114
The permissible state ratio calculation means 114 calculates the ratio of the period in which the AT is permissible state to the total game period (total number of games) of the slot machine 1. The permissible state ratio calculation means 114 adds the count value of the total number of games counter 655 by 1 each time one game is digested. The counter 655 is basically not cleared and continues to be added semi-permanently for each game digestion. Further, the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 determines for each game whether or not the game is set to the AT permissible state by the AT permissible state setting means 100c, and the game (1) set to the AT permissible state. Every time the game) is exhausted, the count value of the total allowable period game number counter 656 is added by one. Like the total number of games counter 655, the total number of games counter 656 is basically configured so as not to be cleared. Then, the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 calculates the ratio of the period in which the slot machine 1 is in the AT permissible state based on the count value of the total game number counter 655 and the count value of the total permissible period game number counter 65. This ratio is stored in the permissible state stay ratio storage area 657. Further, the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 calculates this ratio in the process from the stop of all reels 13L, 13M, 13R to the end of the game in each game, and the calculated value is set to the permissible state. The stay ratio storage area 657 is overwritten and stored. In addition, instead of calculating each game, it may be calculated at a predetermined opportunity such as when the reset switch 52 is pressed to display the ratio. At this time, when the reset switch 52 is pressed, the ratio is calculated based on the count value stored in the total game number counter 655 and the count value stored in the total allowable period game number counter 656. .. In this way, the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 calculates the permissible state stay ratio at the display timing instead of every game, so that an excessive burden can be eliminated in the normal game processing, and the processing efficiency can be reduced. It is possible to ensure the fairness of the game machine while trying to make it. Further, the ratio may be calculated every time the total number of games reaches a certain period, and the number of times when the total number of games exceeds a certain value (for example, 60%) may be stored.

(16) Allowable state ratio display control means 115
Further, in this embodiment, the AT permissible state stay ratio (permissible state stay ratio) calculated by the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 is composed of two 7-segment LEDs displaying the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning. It can be displayed using the payout display 46. Explaining with reference to FIG. 26 showing the notification display 60, for example, the segments S1, S3, S6, S7, S5, S2 of the first 7-segment LED 60a are turned on, and the segment S6 of the second 7-segment LED 60b is turned on. , S7 can be displayed, "01" can be displayed, segments SS3, S6, S4, S2, S5 of the first segment LED60a are lit, and segments S3, S6, S4, S5, S6 of the second 7 segment LED60b are lit. , S7 can be turned on to display "23". In this way, since a two-digit number can be generated by using the two 7-segment LEDs, in this embodiment, the permissible state stay ratio calculated by the permissible state ratio calculation means 114 is displayed using the payout display 46.

The permissible state ratio display control means 115 controls the display of the stay ratio of the AT permissible state by the payout display 46. Specifically, when the reset switch 52 is pressed with the front door 5 opened, the permissible state ratio display control means 115 stores the permissible state stay ratio storage area 657 at that timing, and the AT permissible state stay ratio is stored. Is controlled so as to be displayed on the payout display 46. At this time, the permissible state ratio display control means 115 controls so that the stay ratio in the AT permissible state is continuously displayed on the payout display 46 from the time the reset switch 52 is pressed until the time the reset switch 52 is released. The payout display 46 is also used for displaying error information, and the reset switch 52 is also used as a switch for canceling the error when an error occurs. Since the error cancellation ends the display of the error information of the payout display 46, the information may be confused if the stay ratio in the AT allowable state is displayed by the operation of the reset switch 52 at the time of error cancellation. Therefore, the permissible state ratio display control means 115 allows AT on the payout display 46 when the reset switch 52 is pressed to clear the error and for a certain period (10 seconds in this embodiment) after the error is cleared. Perform regulatory control that does not display the stay ratio of the state. Therefore, in this case, if the reset switch 52 is pressed again after 10 seconds have passed since the reset switch 52 for canceling the error was pressed, the ratio is displayed.

Further, when the total number of games is small, the calculation result of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state may vary, and may be higher than the designed value. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the count value of the total number of games counter 655 is less than a certain value, the permissible state ratio display control means 115 allows AT in a display mode different from the case where the constant value is exceeded. The payout indicator 46 is controlled so that the stay ratio of the state is displayed. In this embodiment, when the total number of games is less than 175,000 games, the stay ratio in the AT allowable state is blinked and displayed, and when it exceeds 175,000 games, it is lit. In this way, the accuracy of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state displayed on the payout display 46 can be determined, so that the fairness of the gaming machine can be determined more accurately.

It should be noted that the fixed period for controlling the display of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state can be changed as appropriate. For example, the permissible state ratio display control means 115 regulates the display of the stay ratio in the AT permissible state when the reset switch 52 is operated (pressed) when the error is released, but when the reset switch 52 is pressed next time. It may be controlled to allow the display of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state without waiting for 10 seconds. By doing so, the operation of canceling the error and the operation of displaying the permissible state stay ratio can be made independent, so that it is possible to more clearly understand whether the error information is displayed or the permissible state stay ratio is displayed. be able to. Further, the regulation control of the display of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state may be canceled on condition that one game is digested after the error is cleared. In this way, when the error is cleared, the permissible state stay ratio cannot be displayed unless one game is played, so that it is possible to prevent the display of the payout display 46 from being confused, and the display contents of the payout display 46 can be displayed. Clarity can be improved. Further, in this embodiment, the allowable state stay ratio is not displayed for a certain period after the error is cleared, that is, for a certain period from the timing when the reset switch 52 is pressed to clear the error. The permissible state stay ratio may not be displayed for a certain period from the timing when the reset switch 52 is pressed and then released. Further, the payout display 46 does not display the allowable state stay ratio unless the reset switch 52 is pressed to clear the error and the front door 5 is closed so that the normal game can be performed. You may do so.

Further, it is conceivable that an error occurs during the display of the permissible state stay ratio. In this case, the display of the ratio is stopped and the error information is displayed on the payout display 46. Then, after pressing the reset switch 52 to release the error (end the error display), press the reset switch 52 again so that the allowable state stay ratio is displayed again, or after the error is released, once the front door 5 is closed. When the front door 5 is opened again and the reset switch 52 is pressed after the door is closed and a normal game can be performed, the allowable state stay ratio may be displayed.

Further, the stay ratio in the AT allowable state may be calculated / displayed, for example, when the change processing start switch (not shown) for changing or confirming the set value is set to ON. Further, for example, when a predetermined operation is performed in a state where the demo screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 or a game such as a state in which the number of bets can be set is not performed, the demo screen is displayed. You may. As a predetermined operation, a dedicated operating means may be provided, or existing equipment such as a start switch 19, a stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, a bet switch 15, 17, and a settlement switch 23 may be used in combination. However, it is preferable to use such an operating means provided inside the housing. Since the reset switch 52 and the change processing start switch 56 are provided inside the housing, the stay ratio in the AT allowable state is displayed unintentionally by the player, causing distrust or guessing the set value. It can be prevented from being reset.

Further, in this embodiment, the case where the permissible state stay ratio is displayed when the reset switch 52 is pressed has been described, but in addition to this, for example, in red 7 big (BB1) in which the accessory is continuous with respect to the total number of payouts. Multiple types of items such as the ratio of the number of cards paid out (BB1 payout ratio) and the ratio of the number of cards paid out for all the red 7 big and BAR big characters to the total number of payouts (total bonus payout ratio) May be displayed on the payout display 46. In this case, when the reset switch 52 is pressed once, a code indicating the type of the item (for example, "0A" when the code of the allowable state stay ratio is "A") is displayed, and then the ratio is displayed. The code display and the ratio display are alternately and repeatedly displayed. When the reset switch 52 is pressed once again while this display is performed, the display changes to the next item. For example, when the BB1 payout ratio code is "B", the payout display 46 " After "0B" is displayed, the ratio is displayed, and similarly, the code display and the ratio display are alternately and repeatedly displayed. The same applies to the following items, and the type of items to be displayed changes sequentially each time the reset switch 52 is pressed. Then, when the reset switch 52 is pressed while the last item is displayed, the display returns to the first item.

If the display ends with the items in the middle displayed, the front door 5 is closed and the game returns to normal, the order of the displayed items is reset, and when displaying again, the display starts from the first item. You may do so. If there is a reference value (for example, ~% or less) in the ratio of the items to be displayed, after the item type is displayed and the ratio is displayed, this reference value (for example, 70% or less is "70"). ), Or one 7-segment LED is used to display the code type, and the other 7-segment LED is used to display the reference value (for example, when the reference value of the allowable state stay ratio is 60% or less). By using "A6"), the code type and the reference value may be displayed at the same time, and then the ratio may be displayed. In this way, when displaying the ratio, it becomes easy to understand the occurrence of fraud or malfunction.

Further, even when the error information is displayed on the payout display 46 in this configuration, the item code is displayed by opening the front door 5, pressing the reset switch 52 to clear the error, and then pressing the reset switch 52 again. It is advisable to display the ratio. In addition, after the error is cleared, the front door 5 is closed once to enable normal game play, and then the front door 5 is opened again and the reset switch 52 is pressed so that the item code display and the ratio display are performed. It may be. Further, after the error is cleared, the item code display and the ratio display may not be performed even if the reset switch 52 is pressed for a certain period of time.

Further, if an error occurs while the item code display and the ratio display are being performed on the payout display 46, the display is switched to the error information display. Here, if the reset switch 52 is pressed to release the error again with the front door 5 open, the error is released and the display of the error information ends. After this display ends, the reset switch 52 again ends. The code display and the ratio display of the item may be performed again without pressing. In this case, the code display and the ratio display of the item before switching to the error information display may be performed, or the code display and the ratio display may be performed by returning to the first item. Also in this case, after the error is cleared, the front door 5 is closed once to enable normal game play, and then the front door 5 is opened again and the reset switch 52 is pressed to display the item code and the ratio. May be done. Further, after the error is cleared, the item code display and the ratio display may not be performed even if the reset switch 52 is pressed for a certain period of time.

Further, in order to press the reset switch 52, the front door 5 must be opened, but when the front door 5 is opened, an error display may be displayed on the payout display 46. In such a case, when the first reset switch 52 is pressed after the front door 5 is opened, the error is cleared (the error display ends), and when the second reset switch 52 is pressed, it is allowed. The error display ends when the display of the state stay ratio is started or when the reset switch 52 is pressed for the first time, and the allowable state stay ratio is allowed even if the reset switch 52 is pressed for a certain period (for example, 10 seconds) thereafter. When the reset switch 52 is pressed after 10 seconds have passed, the permissible state stay ratio may be displayed.

Further, instead of the payout display, for example, a credit display 45 or a set value display (not shown) for displaying the set value may be used. Further, for example, a dedicated display may be separately provided on the main control board 63 to display on the display. In this case, for example, four 7-segment LEDs are arranged side by side on the main control board 63 so that four-digit numbers and alphabets can be displayed on the main control board 63. Then, using these 7-segment LEDs, the above-mentioned allowable state stay ratio, BB1 payout ratio, total bonus payout ratio, and, for example, the initial hit probability of the AT allowable state (in the AT non-allowable state) The number of winning AT-allowed combinations ÷ total number of games x 100 [%]) can be displayed. In this case, the first two-digit 7-segment LED is used to display the type of display content (for example, "0A" in the case of the allowable state stay ratio), and the last two-digit 7-segment LED is used to display the ratio. .. Further, regarding the display, after the power is turned on, it may be automatically displayed at all times without any operation. As a display type switching, for example, each type of display content is displayed for a certain period of time, and the display is performed for a certain period of time. The display method may be such that the display automatically switches to the next type of display after passing, and returns to the first type of display when the last type of display is completed, or the next type of display is displayed each time the reset switch 52 is pressed. It may be switched to. Since the main control board 63 is covered with a board case and is difficult to access from the outside, it is possible to prevent the display from being tampered with and displaying the ratio illicitly. In addition, it may be possible to calculate / display even when the game is being played. When the credit display 45 is used to display the stay ratio in the AT allowable state, the credit changes when a medal or the like can be inserted or the number of bets can be set during the display, and the credit is given after the display of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state is completed. The display may change, giving the player a sense of distrust. Therefore, in such a case, it is preferable to control so that the insertion of medals is prohibited (the number of bets can be set using credits and the settlement cannot be made) while the stay ratio is displayed.

(Sub control board)
Next, the sub-control board 73 will be described in detail. The sub control board 73 of FIG. 4 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63 and performs an effect according to the operation and state of the main control board 63. The sub-control board 73 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the memory 75 (see FIG. 3) and various functions realized by controlling the hardware.

(1) Command receiving means 200
The command receiving means 200 of FIG. 4 receives commands including various information transmitted by the command transmitting means 113 of the main control board 63. When the command receiving means 200 receives the command transmitted from the main control board 63, the command receiving means 200 notifies each function provided in the sub control board 73 according to the type of the command.

(2) Production content determination means 201
The effect content determining means 201 of FIG. 4 is for determining the content of the effect according to the command received by the command receiving means 200. Specifically, the moving image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 can be determined from the effect patterns set in advance according to the progress of the game, the result of the winning combination lottery means 103, and the speakers 31L and 31R. The music and sound to be played are determined, and the effects such as blinking the light sources of the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp units 37L and 37R all at once or individually are determined. In this case, the effect content determining means 201 determines the effect content to execute the notification effect corresponding to the notification mode of the notification display 60.

For example, the effect content determining means 201 determines the effect content to display an advantageous push order on the liquid crystal display 27 when the push order bell is internally won during AT. Further, when the identification number including "cherry" is internally won during AT, for example, the effect content is determined to display the image of cherry on the liquid crystal display 27.

Then, the effect content determining means 201 transmits a signal including data related to the determined effect content to the display control means 202 and the voice control means 203.

(3) Display control means 202
The display control means 202 of FIG. 4 displays a moving image (image) on the liquid crystal display 27 based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determining means 201, and displays the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp unit 37L. , 37R and other light sources are controlled to blink all at once or individually.

(4) Voice control means 203
The voice control means 203 of FIG. 4 controls such as playing music from the speakers 31L and 31R and outputting voice based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determining means 201. ..

(Specific example of AT game)
Next, a specific example of the AT game will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 26 is an example of a case where an identification number including an AT allowable combination is won in the AT non-allowable state and the continuation rank 1 (basic continuation rank 1) is determined by the continuation rank determination means 100d.

For example, if an identification number including an AT allowable combination such as an identification number 3 is won in the AT non-allowable state and the continuation rank determination means 100d determines the basic continuation rank 1, the continuation is performed in the first set of the AT period. For example, the characters "continuation rank 1" are displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 in order to notify the rank (see FIG. 26 (a)). In this case, the command receiving means 200 of the sub-control board 73 receives the information regarding the continuation rank determined by the continuation rank determining means 100d, and the effect content determining means 201 sets the liquid crystal display 27 to "continuation rank 1" based on this information. It is decided that the production content is to display the characters of. It should be noted that the basic continuation rank does not necessarily have to be displayed. For example, the continuation rank may be suggested by the color of the background screen, or the continuation rank may be suggested only when a predetermined condition is satisfied. , Usually you may not know the continuation rank.

Subsequently, it is assumed that an identification number including both an AT right combination and a bonus combination, such as identification number 20, is won in the middle of digesting 50 games in the first set. In this case, in the game in which the identification number is won, characters such as "chance !!" are displayed on the liquid crystal display 27, suggesting the possibility of winning the bonus combination. Then, there is no bonus winning in the winning game, and if the bonus internal winning is in progress, the characters "bonus confirmed" are displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 at a predetermined timing before the bonus winning, and the player wins the bonus. Is notified (see FIG. 26 (b)). When the bonus is won and the game shifts to the bonus game, the liquid crystal display 27 is displayed during the bonus game (see FIG. 26 (c)). In this embodiment, the addition of the count value of the permissible period game number counter 653 is continued during the bonus game, but the subtraction of the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 is exceptionally interrupted. It should be noted that the subtraction of the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 may be continued even during the bonus game, and in this case, the continuous lottery for the AT period may be performed during the bonus game. In addition, since the count value of the permissible period game counter 653 continues to be added during the bonus game, the limiter for the duration of the AT permissible state may be reached during the bonus game. In this case, the limiter is reached during the bonus game. It is also possible to notify the player of the end of the AT allowable state by performing an effect to the effect that the value has been reached. If the limiter is reached during the bonus game, the AT period is forcibly terminated after the bonus game is completed, and the AT is not allowed.

When the continuation rate addition means 100e is selected by lottery using the AT basic continuation rank UP table 675 with the winning of the identification number including the AT right combination and the bonus combination, one rack UP of the continuation rank is selected, and the bonus game For example, the character "continuation rank 2" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 at the end, and it is notified that the continuation rank has been increased by one rank due to the bonus winning (see FIG. 26 (d)). In this embodiment, the continuation rate addition means 100e determines the number of continuation rank increases when the identification number including the AT right combination and the bonus combination is won, but the timing of notifying the increase number is the timing at which the above-mentioned bonus game ends. The timing is not limited to the timing of the game, and any timing may be used from the game in which the identification number is won to the end of the bonus game.

When the bonus game is completed and the 50 games of the first set are exhausted (the count value of the AT period game counter 654 is "0"), the continuous lottery means 100f is used to continue the lottery to decide whether or not to continue to the next set. Is performed (see FIG. 26 (e)). At this time, since the continuation rank is increased by one rank with the winning of the bonus, the continuation rate (continuation rank) used for the continuation lottery at the end of the first set is continuation rank 2 (continuation rate 50%). It becomes. If you win this continuous lottery, you will continue to the second set. In the first set, the identification number including both the AT right role and the bonus role was won, and the continuation rank was increased by one rank, but the increase in the continuation rank due to the bonus winning is reflected in each set after the second set. Since the long-term continuation rate is increasing, the basic continuation rank of the second set starts from "2". Therefore, at the start of the second set, the characters "continuation rank 2" are displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 (see FIG. 26 (f)).

In the middle of the second set, for example, the identification number including the AT right combination such as the identification number 18 (see FIG. 10) is won, and the lottery of the continuation rate addition means 100e using the AT continuation rate addition table 674 is one rank UP. When is selected, the characters “Rank UP !!” and “Continued rank 3” are displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 as shown in FIG. 26 (g) to notify the fact. In this state, when 50 games in the second set are exhausted without adding the continuation rate, the continuous lottery means 100f performs a continuous lottery as to whether or not to continue in the third set (FIG. 26 (h)). At this time, since the continuation rank was increased by 1 rank in the lottery of the continuation rate addition means 100e using the AT continuation rate addition table 674 in the state of the basic continuation rank 2, the continuation rate used for the continuation lottery at the end of the second set. (Continuation rank) is continuation rank 3 (continuation rate 60%). If you win this continuous lottery, you will continue to the third set. If you win the identification number that includes the AT right combination but does not include the bonus combination and the continuation rank is UP, the short-term continuation rate will increase only in the set (second set), so the third set The continuation rank at the start of is returned to the continuation rank 2 at the start of the second set. After that, if you win the identification number that includes both the AT right role and the bonus role, the long-term continuation rate will increase, and if you win the identification number that includes the AT right role but does not include the bonus role, the short-term continuation rate will increase, and the set will end. If you win the continuous lottery of the time, you will continue to the next set.

(About the operation after the limiter condition is satisfied)
Next, with reference to FIG. 28, the timing at which the AT permissible winning is possible after the limiter condition is satisfied will be described.

(1) When AT permissible winning becomes possible after shifting to RT1 or RT0 As shown in FIG. 28A, when the limiter condition (1500 games) is satisfied, the AT non-permissible state is set and ("01h" → "00h"), the limiter flag is set to ON ("0" → "1"). At this time, while the limiter flag is set to ON, even if a lottery value for AT allowable winning is obtained, AT allowable winning is not performed. Then, the game state is set to RT1 by winning a prize with the falling symbol, and the limiter flag is set to OFF (“1” → “0”), so that AT permissible winning is possible.

While the limiter flag is set to ON, for example, by changing the lighting state such as the color and brightness of the notification lamp 60c, it is notified that the notification lamp is in the waiting state for a normal period.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 28B, when the number of games remaining in the AT period becomes 0, the AT execution right ends, and the AT non-permissible state is set (“01h” → “00h”), The lighting state of the notification lamp 60c is maintained until the winning symbol is won and the game state is set to RT1. At this time, if the AT permissible winning state is won while the notification lamp 60c is kept lit, the number of games played during the AT period is added to return to the AT permissible state (“00h” → “01h”). It is configured.

When the number of games remaining in the AT period becomes 0, the AT execution right ends, and the AT non-permissible state is set (“01h” → “00h”), the limiter condition is satisfied as in the case where the limiter condition is satisfied. While the flag is set to ON ("0" → "1") and the limiter flag is set to ON, even if the lottery value that is the AT allowable winning is acquired, the AT allowable winning is not set. You may.

(2) When the AT allowance can be won from the next game after the limiter condition is satisfied As shown in FIG. 28 (c), when the limiter condition (1500 games) is satisfied and the AT non-allowable state is set ("" 01h "→" 00h "), the notification lamp 60c is turned off, and after the notification lamp 60c is turned off, the AT permissible winning is possible. In this way, even if the RT2 is configured so that the AT allowable winning can be won, the lottery value for the AT allowable winning is uniformly configured regardless of the game state as in the bonus combination, so that fairness can be ensured. ..

If the AT allowed is won during RT2, RT2 may be maintained and the count of the number of games during the AT period may be started, or the AT period may be started after the transition from RT2 to RT1 and the transition to RT2 again. You may start counting the number of games. Further, in this case, the count of the duration of the AT allowable state for determining the limiter condition is configured to start from 0.

Subsequently, an example of the operation of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 29 to 37.

1. 1. Main control process The main control process of FIG. 29 is a process executed by the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63.

First, the slot machine 1 is subjected to a game start waiting process including a setting process that enables the game to start (step S1). When the start switch 19 is turned ON in the state where the game can be started in the game start waiting process, the winning combination lottery (including the AT allowable lottery) is performed by the winning combination lottery means 103, and the reels 13L, 13M, respectively. The rotation of 13R is started (step S3). When the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R (step S4), and when all the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped, the symbol determination means. The winning combination is determined by 110 (step S5). As a result of the winning determination, when the winning combination is won, the medal payout process for paying out the medal set for the winning combination is performed (step S6). When the medal payout process is completed, various game number update processes described later are executed to end one game (step S7).

2. 2. Game start waiting process The game start waiting process shown in FIGS. 30 and 31 is a process executed by the main CPU of the main control board 63.

First, it is mainly determined whether or not the number of inserted medals exceeds the specified number (three in this embodiment) (step S100), and if the number of inserted medals has reached the specified number (YES in step S100), If the game start enable setting for permitting the game start is made (step S101) and the number of inserted medals has not reached the specified number (NO in step S100), the game start disable setting for not allowing the game start is made (step S102). ). For this setting, for example, the RAM 65 of the main control board 63 is provided with a storage area for the game start enable flag, and when this flag is turned ON, the game start enable setting can be set, and when it is turned OFF, the game start disable setting can be set.

When the game start enable setting or the game start disabling setting is made, it is determined whether or not the re-game combination was won in the previous game, that is, whether or not the next game is a game that does not require medal insertion (step). S103). If the re-game combination was not won in the previous game (NO in step S103), it is determined whether or not there is no inserted medal (step S104), and if there is no inserted medal (YES in step S104), the game is played. It is determined whether or not 30 seconds have passed from the start waiting start (step S105). When 30 seconds have passed from the start of the game start waiting (YES in step S105), the payout indicator 46 and the input indicator lamp (not shown) are turned off. After turning off the payout indicator 46 and the input indicator lamp (step S106), or when 30 seconds have not passed from the start of waiting for the start of the game (NO in step S105), whether or not the change processing start switch 56 is ON. It is determined (step S107). Here, when the change processing start switch 56 is ON (YES in step S107), the setting confirmation process is performed (step S108), and when this process is completed, the process returns to step S100. The setting confirmation process is a process for confirming the current set value, and is a process for displaying the set value on a predetermined display.

In step S107, when the change processing start switch 56 is not ON (NO in step S107), it is determined whether or not the bet switch 15 is ON (step S109). Here, in the case of ON determination (YES in step S109), the value of the credit display 45 is subtracted and displayed by one, and a process of treating it as if one medal has been inserted is performed (step S114). When this process is completed, the process returns to step S100. When it is determined that the bet switch 15 is not turned on (NO in step S109), it is determined whether or not the maximum bet switch 17 is turned on (step S110). Here, in the case of the ON determination (YES in step S110), the value of the credit display 45 is subtracted and displayed by three, and a process of treating it as if three medals have been inserted is performed (step S115). When this process is completed, the process returns to step S100.

When it is determined in step S110 that the maximum bet switch 17 is not turned on (NO in step S110), or when it is determined in step S103 that the replay combination was won in the previous game (YES in step S103). ) Is determined whether or not the reset switch 52 is turned on (step S111). Here, when the reset switch 52 is determined to be ON (YES in step S111), the allowable state stay ratio confirmation process described later is performed (step S116), and when the reset switch 52 is determined to be OFF (NO in step S111), the settlement switch 23 is performed. Is ON or not (step S112). When the settlement switch 23 is determined to be ON in step S112, the settlement process of paying out the number of medals displayed on the credit display 45 from the medal payout outlet 39 is performed (step S113), and when this process is completed, step S100 is performed. Return to. On the other hand, when the settlement switch 23 is determined to be OFF (NO in step S112), the process returns to step S100 without performing the settlement process.

3. 3. Various game number update process The various game number update process of FIG. 32 is a process executed by the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63, and is a process performed by the allowable state ratio calculating means 114.

After the medal payout process is performed in step S6 of the main process of FIG. 29, the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 adds +1 to the count value of the total number of games counter 655 (step S200). Next, it is determined whether or not the game related to the end is in the AT allowable state (step S201), and if the game is in the AT allowable state (YES in step S201), the allowable state ratio calculation means 114 The count value of the total allowable period game number counter 656 is added by +1 (step S202). On the other hand, when it is determined in step S201 that the game is not in the AT allowable state, or after the count value of the total allowable period game number counter 656 is added by +1 in step S202, the allowable state ratio calculation means 114 adds each. The stay ratio in the AT permissible state (allowable state stay ratio) is calculated based on the count value of the total number of games counter 655 and the count value of the total permissible period game counter 656 (step S203). This permissible state stay ratio is calculated by (count value of total permissible period game counter 656) ÷ (count value of total game counter 655) × 100 [%]. After calculating the permissible state stay ratio, the permissible state ratio calculation means 114 overwrites the calculation result in the permissible state ratio storage area 657 and stores it again (step S204), and ends the process.

4. Allowable state stay ratio confirmation process The allowable state stay ratio confirmation process of FIG. 33 is a process executed by the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63, and is a process performed by the allowable state ratio display control means 115.

When the reset switch 52 is determined to be ON in step 110 of the game start waiting process of FIG. 31 (YES in step S110), the permissible state stay ratio display control means 115 sets the permissible state stay ratio display flag to ON (step S300). ). When the permissible state stay ratio display flag is set to ON, the permissible state ratio display control means 115 determines whether or not the reset switch 52 has been turned OFF (step S301). This ON setting is maintained until the reset switch 52 changes from the ON state to the OFF state (NO in step S301), and when the reset switch 52 is in the OFF state (YES in step S301), it is switched to the OFF setting (step S302). After the allowable state stay ratio display flag is set to OFF, the process returns to step S100 of the game start waiting process. The flag is set by, for example, providing a predetermined storage area of the RAM 65 of the main control board 63.

5. Timer interrupt processing The timer interrupt processing shown in FIGS. 34 and 35 is a process executed for each interrupt process in the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63.

First, the phases of the reel motors 14L, 14M, and 14R are output (step S400), and the command set in the output port is transmitted (step S401). Next, the state of the input port connected to the voltage monitoring IC is checked, and if it is in the power interruption state (YES in step S402), the game processing is interrupted and the power interruption processing (step S415) is executed. Then, it returns to the timer interrupt processing. In the power failure processing, for example, after the evacuation processing, the state of the slot machine 1 is stored in a predetermined storage area, and the restoration processing is performed.

On the other hand, if it is not in the power failure state (NO in step S402), the lighting state of the credit display 45 and the notification display 60 is changed to the current control state of the slot machine 1 (operation of each switch, insertion of medals, AT period). The lamp process for updating according to (whether or not it is inside, etc.) is executed (step S403). Next, the latest state of the input port for inputting the state of each switch and each sensor connected to the main control board 63 is set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 65 (step S404). Subsequently, the game processing is interrupted, and the use area external interrupt processing (step S405), which will be described later, is executed with reference to FIG.

After resuming the game processing, the command transmitting means 113 transmits the transmission error command to the sub-control board 73 if the transmission error command is set in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 65 (YES in step S406). Step S407). Then, after the command is transmitted by the command transmitting means 113, or if the transmission error command is not set in the predetermined storage area (NO in step S408), it is determined whether the medal has been inserted normally (step S409). ), It is determined whether the medal has been paid out normally (step S410). On the other hand, if there is an error in the use area external interrupt process (YES in step S408), the error process is executed and the process returns to the timer interrupt process (step S416). In the error processing, the current gaming state is saved, the information indicating the error state is transmitted to the sub-control board 73, the error code is displayed on the payout display 46, and the error code is displayed after the error canceling process. Various processes such as resetting the error and setting the allowable state ratio display hold timer are performed.

Subsequently, the timer for measuring the time such as the medal insertion interval and the payout interval is updated (step S411), the information (data) to be output to the outside from the output port is acquired (step S412), and the acquired data is acquired. Is output to the outside (step S413), control data of each stop reel is acquired, and index signals of all reels are reset (step S414) to end the process.

6. Used area external interrupt process The used area external interrupt process shown in FIG. 36 is the used area in which the program related to the progress of the game of ROM 67 is stored after the game process in the timer interrupt process of FIG. 34 is interrupted. This process is executed by executing a fraud determination program stored in a storage area outside the different used area.

First, a selector sensor monitoring process for monitoring whether or not the medal insertion is normally performed is executed (step S500). In the selector sensor monitoring process, it is determined whether or not medals are normally inserted based on the change in the ON and OFF detection states of the plurality of insertion sensors 53 installed at different positions, and if abnormal, it is for transmission. The error command is set.

Subsequently, a payout sensor monitoring process for monitoring whether or not the medal payout is normally performed is executed (step S501). In the payout sensor monitoring process, it is determined whether or not the medal payout is normally performed based on the operating state of the hopper motor 57, the detection state of the payout sensor 54, and the like, and if it is abnormal, a transmission error command is set. Will be done.

Next, a door monitoring process for monitoring whether or not the open / closed state of the front door 5 is normal is executed (step S502). Based on the ON / OFF state of the door open / close switch (not shown), the progress state of the game, etc., it is determined whether the front door 5 is opened / closed in a normal state, and if it is abnormal, a transmission error occurs. The command is set.

Subsequently, the allowable state stay ratio display process described later is executed to return to the timer interrupt process (step S503).

7. Allowable state stay ratio display process The allowable state stay ratio display process shown in FIG. 37 is a process executed by the main CPU of the main control board 63, and is a used area in which a game program related to the progress of the game of ROM 67 is stored. This is a process performed by the allowable state ratio display control means 115 executing a program stored in a storage area (storage area outside the used area) different from the above.

In step S502 of FIG. 36, after the door monitoring process is performed, the permissible state ratio display hold timer set in the error process of FIG. 34 is reduced every second (step S600).

Next, the permissible state ratio display control means 115 determines whether or not the door open / close detection switch is in the OFF state (open state) (step S601), and if the front door 5 is in the open state, is an error in progress? Whether or not it is determined (step S602). If no error is occurring (YES in step S602), it is determined whether or not the allowable state stay ratio display flag is ON (step S603), and if it is ON (YES in step S603), the allowable state stay ratio display is displayed. It is determined whether or not the hold timer is 0 (step S604). When the front door 5 is in the closed state (NO in step S601), when an error is occurring (YES in step S602), the allowable state stay ratio display flag is OFF (NO in step S603), the allowable state stay ratio display hold timer If is not 0 (NO in step S604), the process ends in any case.

When the allowable state stay ratio display hold timer is 0 (YES in step S604), the allowable state ratio display control means 115 determines whether or not the count value of the total number of games counter 655 exceeds 175,000 games. (Step S605), if it exceeds (YES in step S605), the permissible state stay ratio stored in the permissible state stay ratio storage area 657 is lit and displayed on the payout display 46, and the process ends (step S606). ). On the other hand, when the count value of the total number of games counter 655 does not exceed 175,000 games (NO in step S605), the permissible state stay ratio stored in the permissible state stay ratio storage area 657 is displayed blinking on the payout display 46. And end the process (step S607). In this case, the permissible state stay ratio is not displayed until a certain period (10 seconds) elapses after the error is cleared.

Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, even if the AT permissible state continues to win the continuous lottery at the end of the set, it ends (limiter) when the predetermined period (1500 games) continues, so that the AT period is set. An upper limit can be set. Further, by configuring so that the AT allowable state is not interrupted even during the bonus game, both the AT game and the game period of the bonus game, which are advantageous to the player, are included in the predetermined period required for the limiter, which is advantageous. It is possible to suppress the player's gambling spirit that the state can continue to win a large number of medals for a long period of time. In addition, if the bonus combination is won while the AT is allowed, the continuation rank (continuation rate) used for the continuation lottery will be determined after determining whether or not the AT period will be continued by the continuation lottery at the end of each set. By making it possible to increase the number, it is possible to give significance to the bonus game in the AT allowable state, so that it is possible to reduce the decrease in the interest of the player due to the provision of the limiter.

In addition, if an identification number that includes the AT right combination but does not include the bonus combination is won during the set (during the AT period), the UP of the continuation rank will be reflected only in the continuation lottery at the end of the set. If the identification number including both the AT right combination and the bonus combination is won during the set, the UP of the continuation rank will be reflected in each continuation lottery after the set, so for the bonus game in the AT allowable state. It is possible to further improve the interest.

In addition, if the identification number 14 "AT right + BAR matching replay" is won during the bonus game in the set, the continuation rank used for the continuation lottery at the end of the set is configured to be UP, so that the bonus role can be played. Since it is expected that the AT period will increase (up the continuous rank) not only during the winning but also during the bonus game, it is possible to further improve the interest of the bonus game during the AT allowable state.

Further, whether or not to set the AT permissible state that allows the AT game that is advantageous to the player is determined by the main control board 63 (lottery value determination determination means 103b) that is generally designed to have high security and to prevent fraud. It is determined. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to cheat on the AT game, and by deciding whether or not the AT is allowed to win or not by a fair method, it is possible to efficiently take measures against the cheating on the AT game. Further, since the AT allowable winning is associated one-to-one with the determination result of the winning combination lottery means 103 designed to have high security and to prevent fraud in the main control board 63, it is more fair whether or not the AT allowable winning is achieved. Can be determined in any way.

Further, since the payout display 46 is configured to display the permissible state stay ratio, it is possible to determine whether or not the game machine actually has the designed permissible state stay ratio. Therefore, it is possible to determine the abnormality or fraud of the game machine before the game machine is actually given an excessive privilege in the AT game and the abnormality or fraud of the game machine needs to be determined. The fairness of the opportunity increases. Further, by using the payout display 46 for both the display of the error information and the display of the allowable state stay ratio, the parts (displays) can be shared, so that the cost of the gaming machine can be reduced. Further, even if the reset switch 52 is operated to clear the error, the permissible state stay ratio is not displayed, and the permissible state stay ratio is not displayed unless the operation is completed and the reset switch 52 is operated again. And, even if the reset switch 52 is used to display the permissible state stay ratio, the error canceling operation and the permissible state stay ratio display operation can be made independent, and as a result, the error information is displayed. It is possible to more clearly understand whether it is an indication of the permissible state stay ratio. Further, since the permissible state stay ratio is not displayed for a certain period (10 seconds in this embodiment) after the operation of the reset switch 52 for canceling the error is completed, the error information is displayed and the permissible state is displayed. It is possible to surely prevent confusion with the display of the stay ratio.

Further, in this embodiment, the permissible state stay ratio calculation means 114 calculates the permissible state stay ratio in each game, overwrites this in the permissible state stay ratio storage area 657 and stores it again, and then stays in the permissible state. At the timing when the reset switch 52 for displaying the ratio is operated, the allowable state stay ratio stored in the allowable state stay ratio storage area 657 at this time is displayed. In this way, regardless of the timing at which the allowable state stay ratio is displayed, it can be easily displayed by performing the process of reading the data. Therefore, for example, the timing at which another process such as the setting change process or the setting confirmation process occurs. Even if the process related to the display of the permissible state stay ratio is performed, there is no load, and the permissible state stay ratio can be preferably displayed.

Further, the lottery range data of the identification number including the AT permissible combination related to the transition to the AT permissible state and the lottery range data of the identification number not including the AT permissible combination form the combination lottery table 671 of the ROM 67 of the main control board 63. Among the areas to be stored, the AT lottery value storage area and the non-AT lottery value storage area are separately stored. In this way, when the AT allowable state is reached, it is determined whether the lottery range data at that time is the data stored in the AT lottery value storage area or the non-AT lottery value storage area, thereby performing fraudulent activity. Since it becomes possible to easily inspect whether or not the AT is allowed due to abnormal operation, the fairness of the game machine can be further maintained.

Further, the non-AT lottery value storage area stores lottery range data at different positions for each type of set value, while the AT lottery value storage area stores the lottery range at a common position regardless of the type of set value. The data is stored, and in the case of an identification number that does not include the AT allowable combination, the combination lottery means 103 performs a combination lottery using the lottery range data according to the type of the set value, and in the case of the identification number that includes the AT allowable combination Performs a winning combination lottery using common lottery range data regardless of the set value. As described above, the identification number including the AT allowable combination stores the lottery range data common to the set values and the lottery range data of the identification numbers having different properties of the identification numbers not including the AT allowable combination in different areas. Not only that, the way of holding the lottery range data is also configured to be different between the AT lottery value storage area and the non-AT lottery value storage area, so whether or not the AT is allowed due to fraudulent activity or abnormal operation. It is easy to inspect the lottery, and it is easy to design lottery range data.

Further, in this embodiment, when the combination lottery means 103 performs the combination lottery in the game in the AT non-allowable state in which the AT game is not allowed, whether or not the AT is allowed in the AT game which is advantageous to the player. It is determined by the same lottery value as the lottery value used for. Further, whether or not to increase the continuation rank is determined by the lottery value used when the winning combination lottery means 103 performs the winning combination lottery in the game in the AT allowable state. That is, the lottery value for the winning combination lottery, which is generally designed to be highly secure and difficult to cheat on the main control board 63, is one-to-one with the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 and whether or not the AT is allowed to be won. It is associated, and further, whether or not the AT right is won is associated one-to-one. Therefore, whether or not the AT is allowed to be won is uniquely determined based on the lottery value generated based on the start of the game, and further, whether or not the AT right is won is uniquely determined, which makes it difficult to cheat the AT game. be able to. Therefore, by determining whether or not the AT is allowed to be won by a fair lottery and whether or not the AT right is won by a fair lottery, it is possible to more efficiently take measures against fraud against AT games.

Further, by using the lottery value generated based on the start of the game, whether or not the winning combination lottery means 103 always wins with the same expected value, as well as the bonus combination that determines whether or not the winning combination is AT permissible. Whether or not the AT right is won can always be determined with the same expected value, so in the same way as expecting whether or not the bonus combination is won for each game, whether or not the AT is allowed is won in the AT non-allowable state. Since it can be expected and it can be expected whether or not the AT right is won in the AT allowable state, it is possible to improve the interest of the player. In addition, since one lottery value determines which combination is won, whether the AT is allowed to be won, and whether the AT right is won, the player ATs based on which role is won. It is possible to infer whether or not the game is in an acceptable state and whether or not the AT right is won, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game. Further, by making three decisions based on one lottery value, it is possible to reduce the processing load for generating the lottery value.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in this embodiment, the identification number including the AT allowable combination is configured to always include the AT right combination, but the identification number including the AT allowable combination may not include the AT right combination.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the notification lamp 60c is turned on to notify that the slot machine 1 is in the AT allowable state, but when the slot machine 1 is in the error state, the first and second The 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b may be turned off, but when the AT is in the allowable state, the notification lamp 60c may be left on. Further, the slot machine 1 may be configured to output information indicating that the slot machine 1 is in the AT allowable state from an external terminal to a hall computer or the like.

By the way, for the winning combination group including "bonus combination" and not including "AT allowable winning" and "AT right winning" (hereinafter referred to as "identification number X"), the winning probability differs depending on the type of set value. When the range of the lottery value is set as described above and it is configured so that "AT right winning" may be won during the bonus game, the identification number X includes "AT right winning". There is no setting difference in whether or not to shift to the bonus game state (whether or not to win the bonus combination), so the lottery value of "AT right winning" during the bonus game is set to be the same regardless of the set value. Even if it is done, the expected value of "AT right winning" during the bonus game may be different depending on the set value.

In order to prevent this state, a first bonus state including "AT right winning" and a second bonus state not including "AT right winning" are provided, and a setting difference is not provided in the winning probability. When the identification number Y including the combination (the lottery value is the same regardless of the type of the set value) is won, the process shifts to the first bonus state including the "AT right winning", and the winning probability is set differently. When the identification number Z including the second bonus combination (the lottery value differs depending on the type of the set value) is won, it is preferable to shift to the second bonus state not including the "AT right winning". With this configuration, since the expected value of winning the AT right does not change depending on the set value, it is possible to provide a game machine having a more uniform expectation regardless of the set value.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the limiter condition is satisfied when the duration of the AT allowable state is 1500 games, and the AT allowable state is terminated (the AT allowable state is terminated by the limiter). The condition is not limited to the number of games digested in the AT allowable state (the number of continuous games during the AT allowable period). For example, a limiter condition may be set to end the AT allowable state based on the number of medals acquired in the AT allowable state after starting the AT allowable state. Specifically, the limiter condition is satisfied when the number of medals acquired reaches a certain number during the AT allowable period after the AT allowable state is started, and the AT allowable state is terminated (AT allowable period by the limiter). It is good to end).

In this case, the number of medals won by winning each winning combination is counted for all the winning combinations with medal payout during the AT allowable period after the AT allowable state is started, and the total number of medals is acquired. When the number of sheets exceeds a certain number (for example, 3000 sheets), the AT allowable state may be terminated. On the other hand, for a plurality of specific roles (for example, "pushing order bell") that notify the player of the operation mode of the stop switch, only the number of medals obtained by winning each specific role is counted, and the total number of medals is counted. The AT permissible period may end when the number of acquired sheets exceeds a certain number.

The total number of medals to be paid out, which is the total number of medals to be paid out, may be used as the total number of medals to be acquired, and it may be determined whether or not the limiter condition is satisfied. It may be determined whether or not the limiter condition is satisfied based on the total number of acquired medals obtained by counting the net increase number obtained by subtracting the number of medals inserted into 25.

Further, the case where the winning combination lottery result is notified by one notification display 60 has been described, but like the notification display 60, a notification display composed of two 7-segment LEDs is separately provided, and one of them is provided. The notification display is used to notify the favorable push order of the push order bell, and the other notification display is a single predetermined small combination ("cherry", "watermelon A", "watermelon B"). It may be used to indicate the push order at the time of winning and simultaneous winning of these. In this case, when the same pressing order is notified, the notification modes of both notification indicators may be the same. Further, at this time, the notification display for the push order bell is "cherry", "watermelon A, watermelon B", such that the periphery of the notification display for the push order bell (front plate 9) is decorated. It may be configured to be easier to recognize than the notification display for the winning combination group including "cherry", "watermelon A", or "watermelon B" for the winning combination group. The notification display may be smaller than the notification display for the push order bell. In this way, the winning combination lottery result notified by the smaller notification display has nothing to do with the push order bell (winning combination group) in which the operation order advantageous to the player is notified during AT or the like. It is possible to make the player recognize that.

Further, even if the push order bell (specific role) and the winning combination group including any of "cherry", "watermelon A", and "watermelon B" have the same advantageous push order, the notification display is displayed. The notification mode according to 60 may be configured to be different. In this case, the first 7-segment LED 60a that notifies the information that can specify the push order has the same notification mode, and the notification mode of the second 7-segment LED 60b that indicates the type of the notification mode is changed according to the type of the winning combination group. It is good to do so. At this time, the push order bell, the winning combination group including "cherry", the winning combination group including "watermelon A", and the winning combination group including "watermelon B" have different notification modes (for example, the second 7-segment display). LED60b) may be used, and the winning combination group including "watermelon A" and the winning combination group including "watermelon B" may have the same notification mode.

Further, the first 7-segment LED 60a of the notification display 60 changes to a notification mode suggesting the next stop mode when the stop operation is performed, but the second 7-segment LED 60b changes before and after the stop operation. The same notification is continuously notified and the notification type is notified. In this case, the first 7-segment LED 60a can grasp the appropriate operation order at that time, and the second 7-segment LED 60b can be used to perform a part of the stop operation in the appropriate operation order in the game. Can be grasped even after the is performed.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, as the command of the combination lottery result transmitted from the main control board 63 to the sub control board 73, a command indicating the type of the combination constituting the internally elected winning combination group and a notification type are shown. The case where the command and the command are created individually has been described, but one command that can uniquely understand both of these types is created, and the sub-control board 73 that receives the command is used to select the winning combination group that has been internally elected. It may be configured so that both the type of the constituent combination and the type of notification can be known.

Further, instead of the notification display 60, the notification display control means 106 may also control the credit display 45. Further, the notification display 60 may also be used to control the payout display 46 for specifying the number of payouts due to winning. Considering the intended use, the payout display may be used from the end of the third stop operation to the start of the game, and the notification may be performed from the start of the game to the third stop operation. Therefore, the payout display is also used in particular. It is preferable to control.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the notification display 60 is controlled by the main control board 63 (main control means) has been described, but it may be controlled independently of the sub control board 73.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the slot machine 1 has been described as an example of the gaming machine of the present invention, but the present invention has been applied to a gaming machine called a parrot, which is a combination of a slot machine and a pachinko machine. Also, when the present invention is applied to such a game machine, a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game value may be adopted. Further, the gaming machine of the present invention may be applied to a video game in which a computer program is executed. Further, the display means of the present invention may be configured by using an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or a CRT to sequentially display a plurality of symbols on the image display device. Further, the number of variable display columns may be two or more, and an optimum number of variable display columns may be configured according to the mode of the game.
