Here, the "batting order" means the order in which the pressing operation is executed for the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3, and is composed of six batting orders of the batting order 1 to the batting order 6. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 corresponds to an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to the operation for stopping the third reel R3. Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

The batting order 1 is a batting order called forward pressing, in which the stop operation is executed in the order of stop button B1, stop button B2, and stop button B3. Further, the batting order 2 is a so-called scissors batting order in which the stop operation is executed in the order of stop button B1 → stop button B3 → stop button B2. Further, the batting order 3 is a batting order in which the stop operation is executed in the order of stop button B2 → stop button B1 → stop button B3. Further, the batting order 4 is a batting order in which the stop operation is executed in the order of stop button B2 → stop button B3 → stop button B1. Further, the batting order 5 is a batting order in which the stop operation is executed in the order of stop button B3 → stop button B1 → stop button B2. Further, the batting order 6 is a so-called reverse pressing batting order in which the stop operation is executed in the order of stop button B3 → stop button B2 → stop button B1.

In the following description, the reel control means 130 starts the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and the player presses any of the first effective stop buttons B1 to B3. It is also described as the first stop operation, and the player is effective in stopping the rotation of one of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button pressed in the first stop operation. Pressing any of the buttons B1 to the stop button B3 is also described as a second stop operation, and the reel corresponding to the stop button pressed by the first stop operation among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The third step is to press one of the stop buttons B1 to B3, which is valid for the player, while the rotation of the two reels with the reel corresponding to the stop button pressed in the second stop operation is stopped. Also described as a stop operation.

The winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is a winning area in which the bell and any one of the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 are won in duplicate. Here, the bell is set to the pressing timing of each stop button when the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in an appropriate batting order at the time of winning the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6". It is a winning combination that wins regardless, for example, in the case of winning the winning area "batting order bell 1", a prize is won when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order 1. In addition, for the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6, the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in a batting order other than the batting order in which the bell can be won when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won. It is a winning combination that can be won when it is operated and the timing of pressing each stop button is appropriate. For example, when the winning area "Batting Order Bell 1" is won, either Batting Order 2 or Batting Order 6 If the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order of, and the timing of pressing each stop button is appropriate, a prize is won.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in a batting order in which the bell cannot be won at the time of winning the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6". In addition, if each stop button is pressed at a pressing timing during which the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 cannot be won, a missed (non-winning) occurrence occurs in which no winning combination is won. Further, in the following description, the batting order in which the bell can be won at the time of winning in the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is also described as the correct batting order. In addition, the batting order in which the bell cannot be won at the time of winning in the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is also described as an incorrect batting order.

The winning area "rare role" is configured so that the rare role is won and the rare role can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing, so that the probability of winning is lower than the winning area including other small roles. It is configured. The winning area "missing role" is configured so that the missing role can be won when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at an appropriate timing, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at the right timing. If the pressing timing is such that the missed role cannot be won, the missed role will not be won (non-winning).

FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a winning area of a small winning combination that can be won in the first bonus state. As shown in FIG. 4 (B), JAC is a bell, a special small role 1 to a special small role 6, a rare role and a missed role, and all of the small wins that can be won in the non-RT state to the RT2 state and the bonus establishment state. It is a winning area that wins more than once. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning area "JAC" is won, in the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the bell with the largest number of payouts at the time of winning wins the prize in preference to other winning combinations. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are controlled. As a result, when the winning area "JAC" is won, the bell wins regardless of the batting order and pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

Next, the winning area including the replay will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning area "normal replay 1", the winning area "normal replay 2", and the winning area "batting order replay 1" to include only the replay. The winning area "Batting Order Replay 6" and the winning area "Rare Replay" are set.

The winning area "normal replay 1" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and is configured to win the normal replay and to win the normal replay regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. Has been done. The winning area "normal replay 2" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and the normal replay and the normal replay are a combination of symbols indicating the winning form (hereinafter, "winning symbol"). (Also described as "combination") is different from other replays, and the special replay 1 is won, and the normal replay can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. The winning area "rare replay" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and is configured to win the rare replay and win the rare replay regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. ing. In addition, the winning area "rare replay" is set so that the winning probability is lower than any winning area in the winning area including the replay that can be won in each internal lottery table.

The winning area "Batting Order Replay 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Replay 6" are the winning areas set in the internal lottery table B selected when the game state is the RT1 state, and are the normal replay and the RT2 transition replay. If the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order set in each of the winning area "batting order replay 1" to the winning area "batting order replay 6", the RT2 transition replay is performed. Wins a prize, and if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in any other batting order, the normal replay wins.

Further, the winning area "batting order replay 1" to the winning area "batting order replay 6" are configured so that the winning modes of duplicate winning are different. Specifically, in the winning area "Batting Order Replay 1", the normal replay and the RT2 transition replay are duplicated, and in the winning area "Batting Order Replay 2", the normal replay, the RT2 transition replay, and other replays are. Special replay 1 with a different symbol combination indicating the winning form (hereinafter, also referred to as "winning symbol combination") is won in duplicate, and the winning area "batting order replay 3" is a normal replay, an RT2 transition replay, and another replay. Special replay 2 with a different winning symbol combination from is won in duplicate, and the winning area "Batting order replay 4" is a normal replay, RT2 transition replay, and special replay 3 with a different winning symbol combination from other replays. In the winning area "Batting Order Replay 5", the winning area "Batting Order Replay 6" is won by overlapping the normal replay, the RT2 transition replay, and the special replay 4 whose winning symbol combination is different from other replays. Is configured so that a normal replay, an RT2 transition replay, and a special replay 5 having a different winning symbol combination from other replays are won in duplicate. In the reel control means 130, which will be described later, when the winning area including the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are in any batting order and pressing timing. It is configured to execute the reel stop control so that the winning symbol combination of the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 is not displayed even when the pressing operation is performed.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning probabilities of the winning area "RBB2" and the winning area "normal replay 2" are changed according to the set value stored in the set value storage means 801. It is composed of the winning area "Batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Batting order bell 6", the winning area "common bell role", the winning area "rare role", the winning area "missing role", and the winning area "missing role". Batting order replay 1 "to winning area" batting order replay 6 ", winning area" normal replay 1 ", winning area" rare replay ", winning area" RBB1 ", winning area" CBB "are set value storage means. It is configured so that the winning probability does not change regardless of the set value stored in 801.

In the random number determination process, a random number (random number for lottery) generated by the random number generation means 110 for each game is acquired based on the start signal output from the start switch 230, and the acquired random number is selected in the lottery table selection process. It is compared with the lottery table, and it is determined whether or not the winning combination is won based on the comparison result.

In the lottery flag setting process, based on the result of the random number determination process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination is set from the non-established state (first flag state, OFF state) to the established state (second flag state). , ON state). In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won in duplicate, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning combinations is set in the established state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage means 803 of the main storage means 800.

Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry over the established state to the next and subsequent games until a prize is won, and the winning state is carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. There is a lottery flag (non-carryover flag) that is reset to the non-established state without being established. The former carry-over possible flag is associated with the RBB1, RBB2, and CBB, and the small combination and the replay are associated with the latter carry-over non-carryable flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the winning area including either RBB1, RBB2 or CBB is won in the internal lottery, the winning RBB1, RBB2 or CBB wins the winning state of the lottery flag of the winning RBB1, RBB2 or CBB. Perform the process of carrying over to.

In the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are arranged so that each symbol constituting the winning symbol combination of the CBB can win the prize regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3. They are arranged on the peripheral surface. Therefore, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can execute only the carry-over process of RBB1 or RBB2 for the carry-over process of carrying over the established state of the lottery flag to the games after the winning game. Further, when the CBB is operating, the internal lottery means 120 of the present embodiment sets all the small winning combination lottery flags to the established state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

The internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine the success or failure of the small winning combination and the replay even in the game in which the establishment state of the lottery flag of RBB1 or RBB2 is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the established state of the lottery flag of RBB1 or RBB2 is carried over, if a small winning combination or replay is won, the lottery flag of RBB1 or RBB2 that has already been won and the internal lottery Set the lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of wins, which consist of the small wins won in and the lottery flags for replays, in the established state.

The reel control means 130 is the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 that is operated by the player executing the start operation to the start lever SL. Starts the rotary drive of. Further, the reel control means 130 has a stop button B1 corresponding to each reel when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 becomes a rotation state of steady rotation at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm). ~ When the stop button B3 is pressed, the control for validating the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 is executed. Then, the reel control means 130 stops the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation. , Controls to stop each reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. At this time, the reel control means 130 controls to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, which are rotationally driven by the stepping motor, in a state in which the lottery flag is set, that is, in a mode according to the result of the internal lottery. That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each button of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. Then, the reel is controlled to be stopped at the determined stop position.

Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed. It is designed to stop the reel. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is determined from the diameter and rotation speed of each reel, and the reel stops from the time when the stop button is pressed. It is configured to be rotatable for up to 4 frames before it is done. In the reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation is performed among the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery is the stop button. When the position is within the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the effective line L1 when the pressing operation for is performed, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set is valid. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so that the reel is displayed at the display position on the line L1.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of the winning combinations that can be won regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 such as the bell, each replay, and the CBB described above are the first reel R1. In each of the third reels R3, they are arranged within a displayable range from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reels stop. In particular, among the winning symbol combinations of bells, for the symbols that can be displayed on the third reel R3, the timing of pressing the stop button B3 even when the CBB is operating when the maximum number of sliding frames of the third reel R3 is one. It is arranged so that it can be displayed regardless of.

Here, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal output when the start switch 230 detects the start operation, starts the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and starts one game. In this case, it is configured to set a waiting time (about 4.1 seconds) generally called a wait (or wait time). When the reel control means 130 receives the start signal from the start switch 230 within the period from the setting of the standby time to the elapse of the standby time, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal from the start switch 230, and after the standby time elapses, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 Is configured to start spinning. With this configuration, the reel control means 130 can start the game after the minimum game time (about 4.1 seconds) has elapsed as a fixed time from the start of one game to the start of the next game. ..

The reel control means 130 refers to a logic calculation process for obtaining a stop position of a rotating reel by a logic calculation and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 804 of the main storage means 800, and the reel is rotating. It performs table reference processing to determine the stop position of.

First, in the logic calculation processing, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is operated, that is, when the pressing operation of the stop button is detected according to the priority data determined for each combination. Priority is obtained for the candidate stop positions for 5 frames existing in the range. Here, the reel control means 130 is a reel index which is information indicating that the reel output when the photosensor provided in the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided in each reel has made one rotation. And, using the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel where the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times the drive pulse supplied to the stepping motor is supplied), the rotation state of the reel at the time when the reel stop signal is received from the stop switch 240. To get. Then, among the priorities of the candidates for each stop position, the candidate for the stop position having the highest priority is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the press detection position, and the like. When there are a plurality of candidates for the stop position having the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by the table reference process.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the non-RT state to the RT2 state, the bonus established state, or the first bonus state, the order of priority is determined in the order of "replay> small winning combination> bonus". Further, in the slot machine 1, in the case of the second bonus state in which the CBB is operating, the priority is determined in the order of "small role> replay> bonus". That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the reel stop control is executed when the CBB is in operation, if the small winning combination and the replay or the bonus are won in duplicate, the small winning combination and the bonus are given priority over the small winning combination and the bonus. The symbols that make up the winning symbol combination of the winning combination are stopped on the effective line L1.

In the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags for two or more types of winning combinations are set in the winning state, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination with the higher priority according to the priority assigned to each winning combination. The priority is obtained so that the candidate of is higher in priority than the candidate of the stop position including the symbol constituting the winning form of the winning combination having a lower priority.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of small wins are won in the internal lottery, the priority of the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1. There are a method of finding the priority and a method of finding the priority according to the number of medals to be paid out based on a predetermined dividend for the small winning combination. When the priority of the stop position candidate is obtained according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1, the symbol combination indicating the winning form that can be displayed on the effective line L1 (hereinafter, "winning symbol combination"). The priority of each stop position candidate is obtained so that the higher the number of stop positions, the higher the priority. Further, when the priority of the candidate for the stop position is obtained according to the number of medals paid out, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small winning combination corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the effective line L1 is large. The priority of each stop position candidate is obtained so that the stop position, that is, the stop position where a small winning combination with a large payout can be won, has a higher priority. However, when the priority of the candidate for the stop position is calculated according to the number of medals paid out, if small wins with the same payout are won more than once, each small win can be won. Candidates are treated as having the same priority.

Further, in the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-off process are performed as processes for obtaining candidates for reel stop positions. Here, the pull-in process is a process of obtaining a candidate for a stop position of the reel so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set in the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining a candidate for a stop position of the reel so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 makes it possible to stop the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the winning state in the form of winning, while the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the non-winning state is in the form of winning. A logic calculation process is performed to obtain a candidate for a reel stop position so that the reel does not stop at.

Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the CBB wins and the CBB operates, the reel control means 130 presses the stop button B3 on the third reel R3 of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop the rotating third reel R3 within 75 ms from the time when the reel is rotated. When stopping the rotating reel within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops, depending on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel. It is configured to be rotatable for up to one frame.

In the reel stop control during CBB operation, the reel control means 130 performs at least one predetermined reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed. The reel stop control may be executed so as to stop, and in the present embodiment, the third reel is within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal output from the stop switch 240 is detected by pressing the stop button B3. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop R3, but the stop switch 240 detects that the stop buttons corresponding to other reels such as the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 have been pressed, and the reel stop signal. May be configured to perform reel stop control so that the reels are stopped within 75 ms from the time when is output from the stop switch 240, and within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240. The number of reels set to stop the reels may be a plurality of reels instead of one.

The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the stopping mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 805 of the main storage means 800, when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, the line L1 is on the effective line L1. It is determined whether or not the displayed symbol combination is in the form of winning a predetermined winning combination. Then, the winning judgment table is set so that it can be judged whether or not a small winning combination, a replay, or a bonus has been won (hereinafter referred to as "winning judgment") by the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 when each reel is stopped. It is prepared.

Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140 in the winning determination process. As each process executed based on the determination result of the winning combination, for example, when a small winning combination wins, a process of determining the number of medals to be paid out by the payout control means 150 is performed, and when the replay wins a prize. Causes the replay processing means 160 to perform a process of executing the game without consuming medals in the next game, and when a bonus is won, a process of operating the bonus won by the game state transition control means 170 is performed.

Further, when a small winning combination is won, the winning determination means 140 determines the number of medals to be paid out in the game based on a predetermined dividend for each winning combination, and the determined number of medals is sent to the outside of the slot machine 1. The determined number of medals to be paid out is set in the payout information storage means 806 as an external output payout counter, which is a counter for storing the number of medals to be paid out for output to an external device 700 such as a hall computer provided. Further, when the replay wins the prize, the prize-winning determination means 140 sets the same number of values as the specified number of inputs in the game in which the replay wins the prize in the payout information storage means 806.

In the present embodiment, the dividend of the small winning combination is set to a different number of payouts depending on whether the payout is the first specified number of inputs or the second specified number of inputs. When the specified number of inputs is set to the first specified number of inputs, the payout of the bell is set to 9 which is larger than the number of the first specified number of inputs, and the payout of the rare role is 3 which is the same number as the first specified number of inputs. The payouts for the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 and the missed winning combination are set to one, which is less than the first specified number of cards. If the specified number of inputs is set to the second specified number of inputs, the payout of the bell is set to 14 cards, which is larger than the number of the second specified number of inputs, and the payout of the rare role is the same as the number of the second specified number of inputs. The payouts for the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 and the missed winning combination are set to one, which is less than the number of the second specified input.

The payout control means 150 executes payout control, which is a control related to payout of medals, and executes a payout process, which is a process of paying out medals according to a game result. Specifically, the payout control means 150 performs payout control in which medals corresponding to the number of payouts are paid out to the hopper unit 320 as the payout device based on the result of the prize determination process by the prize determination means 140.

The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out the number of medals specified by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is configured to be able to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on the input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. If medals are allowed to be credited, the number of credits (credited) stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the main storage means 800 instead of actually paying out the medals by the hopper unit 320. A credit addition process is performed to add the number of medals to be paid out to the number of medals), and a process of virtually paying out medals is performed.

The replay processing means 160 determines that the winning determination means 140 has stopped and displayed the symbol combination indicating the winning of any one of the plurality of types of replay combinations on the effective line L1, and when the replay wins, the next time. Performs a replay process (replay process) that sets the game to a ready state that enables the game to be executed without the need to insert medals. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the replay wins a prize, an automatic insertion process is performed in which a specified number of medals are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). We wait for the next start operation for the start lever SL with the same effective line L1 as the previous game set.

The game state transition control means 170 shifts the game state between the non-RT state and the RT2 state and changes the winning mode of the replay. The RBB1 or RBB2 is won by the RT state transition control process and the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. When the winning symbol combination of RBB1, RBB2 or CBB is displayed on the valid line L1 by the bonus establishment state transition control process for shifting from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state and the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. In addition, the bonus operation control process for activating the bonus displayed on the effective line L1 and shifting the gaming state to the first bonus state or the second bonus state, and the game state transition control are performed.

FIG. 5 is a state transition diagram showing a game state that can be transferred from each game state in the game state transition control executed by the game state transition control means 170. In the following description, the non-RT state to the RT2 state are collectively referred to as a "non-bonus state". Further, in the following description, the first bonus state and the second bonus state are collectively referred to as "bonus state".

First, the details of the RT state transition control process will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the non-RT state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and it is possible to shift from the non-RT state to the RT1 state. Specifically, in the non-RT state, any one of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won, and the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed to operate the reels by the reel control means 130. When a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the winning combination of the small winning combination, the replay, and the bonus is displayed on the effective line L1 by the stop control, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the non-RT state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the winning probability of the replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

The RT1 state is a gaming state corresponding to a normal state that can be shifted from the non-RT state and the RT2 state, and it is possible to shift from the RT1 state to the RT2 state. Specifically, in the RT1 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order in which the winning area "batting order replay 1" to the winning area "batting order replay 6" can be won and the RT2 transition replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the RT2 transition state is entered. In the RT1 state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of the replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

The RT2 state is a gaming state in which the game shifts when the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. It is possible to shift from the RT2 state to the RT1 state. Specifically, any one of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won, and the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed, and the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 is small. When a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the winning combination of the winning combination, the replay, and the bonus is displayed on the effective line L1, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, the winning probability of the replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 1.5, so that the internal lottery table C in which the probability of winning any of the small winning combination, the replay, or the bonus is set to be extremely high is referred to. An internal lottery will be held.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, different game characteristics are realized in each game state by transitioning the game state between the non-RT state and the RT2 state. Specifically, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as long as the bells are continuously won at the time of winning the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6", the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. A non-RT state that is maintained with a low probability of 3, an RT1 state in which a normal game is executed, and a high probability of winning a replay with an extremely high probability of either a small role, a replay, or a bonus in each game. The RT2 state that can be won in and the playability that is different from each other are realized.

In addition, in the RT2 state where the probability of winning the replay is set to a high probability of about 1 / 1.5, the probability of winning the winning area "normal replay 1" and the probability of winning the winning area "normal replay 2" The advantageous period is started by the advantageous period control means 400A, which will be described later, and the assist time state in which the winning assist control for assisting the winning of a specific combination is executed (hereinafter, the assist time is also referred to as "AT") is set. A so-called assist replay time game (hereinafter, the assist replay time is also referred to as "ART") in which the game in the AT state is executed in the RT2 state in which the game in the AT state is won in the replay with a higher probability than in the other game states. It is configured so that it can be executed.

Next, among the game state transition control processes executed by the game state transition control means 170, the bonus establishment state transition control process will be described. When the winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is won by the internal lottery, the game state transition control means 170 executes a bonus establishment state transition control process for shifting the gaming state from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state. Specifically, when the gaming state transition control means 170 wins a winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 such as the winning area "RBB1" or the winning area "RBB2" in an internal lottery in a non-RT state, the gaming state Shifts from the non-RT state to the bonus establishment state. Further, in the slot machine 1, when the winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is won and the winning RBB1 or RBB2 is not won, the bonus is established in the subsequent games until the winning RBB1 or RBB2 is won. The game is executed. In the bonus establishment state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table D in which the winning probability of the replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the bonus established state, the internal lottery table has a lower probability of winning the replay than the RT2 state in which the probability of winning either a small win, a replay, or a bonus in the internal lottery is set extremely high. Is configured to execute an internal lottery using. As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is won by the internal lottery, the lottery flag is carried over in the established state until the winning RBB1 or RBB2 is won. Therefore, in the slot machine 1, when the small winning combination or the replay is won in the internal lottery in the bonus established state, the small winning combination and the bonus or the replay and the bonus are won in duplicate. Further, as described above, in the slot machine 1, the priority is determined in the order of "replay> small role> bonus". Further, in the slot machine 1, the special small winning combination 1 to 6 winning when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at an appropriate timing, and the winning special small winning combination 1 to special when the missing combination is won. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at the pressing timing at which the small winning combination 6 and the missing winning combination cannot be won, the winning combination is not won (non-winning).

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the replay in the bonus established state is set to be lower than the winning probability of the replay in the RT2 state, and the internal lottery can be lost (unwinned). By doing so, it is configured so that the bonus can be won independently. As a result, in the slot machine 1, when the bonus is established and the internal lottery is lost (unwinned), the RBB1 or RBB2 whose lottery flag is continuously set in the established state can be won. ..

Next, among the game state transition control processes executed by the game state transition control means 170, the bonus state transition control process will be described. The game state transition control means 170 operates RBB1 or RBB2 as a bonus state transition control process when the winning symbol combination of RBB1 or RBB2 is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. The process of shifting the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the first bonus state is executed. When the state shifts to the first bonus state, the game state shift control means 170 starts a process of adding a value to the bonus end determination counter (not shown) which is a counter of the main storage means 800. From the first bonus state, it is possible to shift to the non-RT state. Specifically, in the first bonus state, more than 270 medals are paid out, and the value stored in the bonus end determination counter corresponds to a predetermined number of payouts (in the present embodiment). When the value "270") is reached, RBB1 or RBB2 is terminated and the gaming state is shifted to the non-RT state. In the first bonus state, the winning area "JAC" is set as the winning area for the small winning combination, and the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table E set to win the winning area "JAC" with an extremely high probability. ..

Further, when the winning symbol combination of the CBB is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the game state transition control means 170 operates the CBB as a bonus state transition control process and the game state. Is executed from the game state in the game in which the CBB is won to the second bonus state. When the state shifts to the second bonus state, the game state shift control means 170 starts a process of adding a value to the bonus end determination counter. From the second bonus state, it is possible to shift to the game state in the game in which the CBB is won. Specifically, when the CBB is won in a non-RT state in the game state and the second bonus state is started by winning the CBB, more than 28 medals are paid out and the bonus ends. When the value stored in the determination counter reaches a value corresponding to a predetermined number of payouts (value "28" in the present embodiment), the CBB is terminated and the game state is won by the CBB. It shifts to the non-RT state which is the state.

In this process, the main control unit 10 determines whether the backup data is normal and whether the setting change is appropriately reflected when the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, and the main storage means. It executes a process of initializing (clearing) various flag data and counter values stored in the 800. The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment generates backup data at any time while the power is turned on and stores it in the backup storage means (not shown) of the main storage means 800, which causes an unexpected power failure. Even in such a case, it is possible to return to the state before the occurrence of the power failure by executing the initialization process.

Next, the main control unit 10 executes the game start control in order to start the control process related to one game (S2). In this process, the main control unit 10 executes the initialization (clearing) of the RWM that needs to be initialized at the start of each game and the game information display unit DS is turned off.

Next, among the main control units 10, the input reception means 105 executes the input reception control (S3). In this process, in the insertion receiving means 105, the player inserts the single bet button BT when the player inserts a specified number of medals into the medal insertion slot MI and when the medals are credited in excess of the specified number of insertions. When the pressing operation is performed the same number of times as the specified number of inputs or when the max bet button MB is pressed, the effective line L1 is activated and the start operation of the start lever SL is activated. Further, when the replay is won in the previous game and the replay process by the replay processing means 160 is executed and set to the ready state, the input receiving means 105 does not use the player's hand-held medal (including credit medal). In addition, the start operation of the start lever SL is performed with the same effective line L1 as the game in which the replay wins is set by executing the automatic insertion process in which the same number of medals as the specified number of medals in the game in which the replay wins is automatically inserted. To enable.

Next, the internal lottery means 120 of the main control unit 10 executes the internal lottery control (S4). In this process, the internal lottery means 120 acquires a random number value from the random number generation means 110 and stores it in the internal lottery table storage means, triggered by the start operation of the start lever SL and the detection of the start signal from the start switch 230. The internal lottery process for determining the winning area is executed using any of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E. Further, the internal lottery means 120 executes a symbol setting for setting information related to a symbol to be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1 when the reel stop control is executed by the reel control means 130.

Further, in this process, the advantageous period control means 400A is configured to be able to execute the advantageous period transition lottery based on the winning area in the case of the non-advantageous period, and in the case of the advantageous period, the advantageous period transition means can be executed. It is configured to be able to execute control processing related to AT.

Next, the reel control means 130 of the main control unit 10 executes reel rotation control (S5). In this process, the reel control means 130 executes a reel rotation process for starting the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Then, the reel control means 130 is a stop operation that enables the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 when the rotation speed of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rises to a predetermined speed and becomes a steady rotation. Execute the activation process.

Next, the reel control means 130 of the main control unit 10 executes reel stop control (S6). In this process, the reel control means 130 stops the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons B1 to B3 when a valid stop signal is output from the stop switch 240. To do. When the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, the reel control means 130 is determined after the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed based on the winning area won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped within 190 ms as the stop time.

Next, the winning determination means 140 of the main control unit 10 executes the winning determination control (S7). In this process, the winning symbol combination 140 determines a predetermined winning symbol combination based on the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. Judge whether or not it corresponds to. Then, the winning determination means 140 causes the payout control means 150, the replay processing means 160, and the game state transition control means 170 to execute the processing corresponding to the winning combination.

Next, the payout control means 150 of the main control unit 10 executes payout control (S8). In this process, the payout control means 150 credits the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the winning small winning combination, triggered by the determination that the small winning combination has been won by the winning small winning combination 140. Further, when the credit exceeds the upper limit value (for example, 50 cards), the payout control means 150 pays the medals of the number of payouts exceeding the upper limit value of the credit from the hopper unit 320 to the medal payout exit MO. put out.

Next, the replay processing means 160 of the main control unit 10 executes the replay control (S9). In this process, the replay processing means 160 executes the replay process and puts it in the ready state when the winning determination means 140 determines that the replay has won a prize. If the winning determination means 140 determines that the replay has not won a prize, the main control unit 10 skips the process of step S9 and shifts the process to step S10.

Next, the game state transition control means 170 of the main control unit 10 executes the game state transition control (S10), and returns the process to step S2. In this process, the gaming state transition control means 170 is on the effective line L1 when the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 is the symbol combination related to the transition of the gaming state. The game state is shifted to the game state corresponding to the symbol combination displayed in. Specifically, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state to the RT2 state when the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130.

Further, the game state transition control means 170 executes a process of shifting the game state to the bonus arrangement state when RBB1 or RBB2 is won, and activates the winning bonus when RBB1, RBB2 or CBB wins. The process of causing and the process of ending the activated bonus are executed. For example, when the winning symbol combination of RBB1 is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the gaming state transition control means 170 operates the RBB1 to shift the gaming state to the first bonus state. Execute the process.

If the winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is not won in the internal lottery, or if the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 is used to control the reel stop, a symbol combination different from the symbol combination related to the transition of the gaming state or the bonus winning symbol combination is effective. When it is displayed on the line L1 and the bonus is not operating, the main control unit 10 skips the process of step S10 and shifts the process to step S2.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, one game is executed by executing the processes of steps S2 to S10.

<Payout control>
FIG. 14B is a flowchart showing the payout control executed by the payout control means 150 in step S8 of the game control process shown in FIG. 14A.

In the payout control by the payout control means 150, the payout control means 150 first determines whether or not a small winning combination or replay has won a prize in this game (S21). In this process, in the winning determination control by the winning determination means 140 (see step S7 of FIG. 14A), the payout control means 150 wins a small winning combination of winning symbols or a replay by controlling the reel stop by the reel controlling means 130. It is determined whether or not it is determined that the symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L1.

In the process of step S21, if it is determined that the small winning combination or replay has won a prize (YES), the payout control means 150 is predetermined to the winning small winning combination if the winning winning combination is a small winning combination. The number of medals to be paid out in this game is determined based on the payouts, and if the winning combination is a replay, the number of medals to be paid out is determined based on the specified number of medals to be inserted in this game. The number of payouts is set in the payout information storage means 806 (S22). In this process, for example, when it is determined that the bell has won a prize in this game, the payout control means 150 determines that the number of medals to be paid out is 9 based on the payout of the bell, and the payout information storage means 806 has 9 medals. Set the value "9" corresponding to the medal. Further, when the payout control means 150 determines that the replay has won a prize in the current game and the specified number of medals in the current game is 3, the number of payouts in the current game is the same as the number of automatic medals. It is determined that there are three medals, and the value "3" corresponding to the three medals is set in the payout information storage means 806.

The payout information storage means 806 for storing information regarding the payout of medals determined based on the result of the game constitutes the payout information storage means in the present embodiment. Further, the value set in the payout information storage means 806 at the time of winning the small winning combination or the replay constitutes the payout information which is the information regarding the payout of the medal in the present embodiment.

After executing the process of step S22 or in the process of step S21, if it is determined that the small winning combination has not won in the current game (NO), the payout control means 150 records the operation in the operation record control means 600. Arithmetic processing is executed (S23). In this process, the payout control means 150 first prohibits the execution of the interrupt process by the main control unit 10. Next, the payout control means 150 is used by exchanging the front register and the back register of the internal register 900, that is, setting the register that was the front register as the back register and setting the register that was the back register as the front register. Save the data used in the area from the front register to the back register. Then, the payout control means 150 calls the operation record control means 600 described in another area of the ROM to cause the operation record control means 600 to execute the operation record calculation process.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the small winning combination or the replay does not win, that is, when the bonus winning symbol combinations such as RBB1, RBB2, and CBB are stopped and displayed on the valid line L1, or When a medal payout does not occur, such as when a symbol combination different from any of the winning symbol combinations of the plurality of types of combinations is stopped and displayed on the effective line L1, the initial value is set as the stored value of the payout information storage means 806. The value "0" is configured to be maintained. The operation record calculation process in step S23 constitutes the operation record calculation in the present embodiment.

After the operation record calculation process by the operation record control means 600 is completed, the payout control means 150 executes the payout process (S24) and ends the payout control. In this process, the payout control means 150 credits the payout number of medals determined to be paid out in this game when the small winning combination wins. When the credit exceeds the upper limit (for example, 50), the payout control means 150 pays the medals exceeding the upper limit of the credit out of the number of payouts from the hopper unit 320 to the medal payout exit MO. put out.

<Operation record calculation processing>
Next, the operation record calculation process executed by the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 13, 15, and 16. FIG. 15 shows an operation record when the operation record control means 600 is called by the payout control means 150, which is a module of the used area, in the process of the payout control step S23 by the payout control means 150 shown in FIG. 14 (B). Among the operation record calculation processing which is a subroutine executed by the control means 600, the control processing related to the calculation of the numerical value indicating the continuous bonus ratio in the game 6000 times and the numerical value indicating the bonus ratio in the game 6000 times is shown. It is a figure. Further, FIG. 16 shows a register 1 which is a 1-byte storage area and a register 2 which is a 2-byte storage area of the internal register 900 which is updated by the operation record calculation process in the 6400th game, and a game 400 times counter 809. It is a figure which shows the storage value with a set identification counter 840.

In the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment, the effective stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed after the start lever SL is started, and the symbols are combined on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Is displayed, and the winning / non-winning of the winning combination is determined by the winning determination means 140, so that the advantageous period displayed on the ratio display device 610 at the time of executing the payout control after the result of one game is obtained. A numerical value indicating the stay ratio, a numerical value indicating the continuous character ratio in 6000 games, a numerical value indicating the character ratio in 6000 games, a numerical value indicating the continuous character ratio in the total number of games, and a combination in the total number of games. The operation record calculation process for calculating the numerical value indicating the object ratio is executed.

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 15, only the calculation of the numerical value indicating the continuous accessory ratio in the game 6000 times and the numerical value indicating the accessory ratio in the game 6000 times is described, and the advantageous period stay ratio is shown. The description of the calculation of the numerical value, the numerical value indicating the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games, and the numerical value indicating the bonus ratio in the total number of games will be omitted.

In the operation record calculation process, first, the operation record control means 600 performs a payout number totaling process, which is a process of totaling the number of each payout used for calculating the value of the continuous bonus ratio and the value of the bonus ratio. Execute (S31). In the process of step S31, the operation record control means 600 adds the stored value of the payout information storage means 806 to the stored value of the first counter 821 of the cumulative total of 400 times, except when the replay wins a prize. Further, in the process of step S31, when the game state is the first bonus state, the operation record control means 600 adds the stored value of the payout information storage means 806 to the stored value of the second counter 822, which is the cumulative total of 400 times. When the gaming state is the first bonus state or the second bonus state, the storage value of the payout information storage means 806 is added to the storage value of the 400th cumulative third counter 823.

After executing the process of step S31, the operation record control means 600 sets the address F210H, which is the first address in the game 400 times counter 809, in the register 2 of the internal register 900 (S32). After executing the process of step S32, the operation record control means 600 updates the stored value of the game 400 times counter 809 (S33).

In the process of step S33, the operation record control means 600 sets the storage value of the 2-byte storage area starting with the address F210H, which is the storage value of the register 2, in the register 3 of the internal register 900. The stored value of the game 400 times counter 809 is set in 3. Since the operation record control means 600 has executed one game, the operation record control means 600 adds a value "1", which is a value corresponding to one game, to the stored value of the register 3. Then, the operation record control means 600 stores the stored value of the register 3 in the game 400 times counter 809. When the stored value of the register 3 after the addition is the value "400", the operation record control means 600 sets the value "0" in the register 3 and counters the stored value of the register 3 for 400 games. Store in 809.

After executing the process of step S33, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the stored value of the game 400 times counter 809 is a value "0" (S34). In the process of step S34, the operation record control means 600 refers to the stored value of the register 3 which is the value stored in the game 400 times counter 809, and when the stored value of the register 3 is the value "0", the game 400 It is determined that the stored value of the times counter 809 is a value "0", and when the stored value of the register 3 is not the value "0", it is determined that the stored value of the game 400 times counter 809 is not the value "0".

When it is determined in the process of step S34 that the stored value of the game 400 times counter 809 is a value "0" (YES), the operation record control means 600 sets the stored value of the previous game 400 times counter 809 to a value "0". After updating to, it is determined that 400 games have been executed, and in step S35 and step S36, a set identification value update process for updating the set identification value stored in the set identification counter 840 is executed. The set identification value update process constitutes the corresponding value update process in the present embodiment, and 400 times constitutes a predetermined number of times in the present embodiment.

In the set identification value update process, the operation record control means 600 first sets the stored value of the register 2 to a value corresponding to the difference between the start address of the game 400 times counter 809 and the start address of the set identification counter 840. 0002H (a value represented by the value "2" in a decimal number) is added (S35). As a result, the operation record control means 600 can update the stored value of the register 2 to the head address F212H in the set identification counter 840.

After executing the process of step S35, the operation record control means 600 updates the set identification value which is the stored value of the set identification counter 840 (S36). In the process of step S36, the operation record control means 600 sets the storage value of the 1-byte storage area starting from the address F212H, which is the storage value of the register 2, in the register 1 of the internal register 900. Set the set identification value to 1. Since the operation record control means 600 has executed one set of games composed of 400 times, the operation record control means 600 adds the value "1" to the stored value of the register 1. Then, the operation record control means 600 stores the stored value of the register 1 in the set identification counter 840. When the stored value of the register 1 after the addition is the value "15", the operation record control means 600 sets the value "0" in the register 1 and sets the stored value of the register 1 to the set identification counter 840. To memorize.

In this way, the operation record control means 600 can update the set identification value in which the storage area for storing the storage value of the first counter 821, which is the cumulative total of 400 times, is determined by addition, which is a simple calculation. It is possible to prevent the amount of processing required for processing from increasing. As a result, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the program described in another area is executed, the time from the start of execution to the end of execution becomes longer than the cycle in which interrupt processing is executed. Since it is prevented from being stored, it is possible to prevent an error from occurring in the control related to the progress of the game and the control related to the effect, and it is possible to prevent the calculation of the operation record from affecting the progress of the game. ..

Further, the operation record control means 600 periodically updates the set identification value every time the stored value of the game 400 times counter 809 is determined to be a value "0", that is, every time the game is executed 400 times. Therefore, among the 15 storage areas, the storage areas can be updated in order from the oldest storage area.

After executing the process of step S36, the operation record control means 600 accumulates 400 times in the storage area determined based on the set identification value among the storage areas of the 15 sets individual storage means 830 in steps S37 to S44. A transfer process for transferring the total number of payouts, continuous bonus payouts, and bonus payouts in 400 games stored in the storage means 820 is executed. The transfer process constitutes the storage process in the present embodiment.

In the transfer process, the operation record control means 600 first sets the value obtained by doubling the set identification value in the register 1 (S37).
