The stator 730 is arranged so as to surround the rotor 740, and drive coils are wound in two upper and lower stages (A phase, B phase). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the magnetic pole teeth form a triangle (upward is referred to as A phase and B phase, downward is referred to as A-phase and B-phase. A phase and B phase are electric angles. 90 degree phase relationship, A phase and A-phase and B phase and B-phase have a phase relationship of 180 degrees electrical angle), each magnetic pole (A phase, A-phase, B phase, B-phase) has one circumference 12 It is a tooth. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the arrangement of the magnetic poles of the stator 730. As shown in FIG. 9, each magnetic pole is arranged clockwise in the order of A phase, B phase, A-phase, and B-phase in a circumferential shape.

In the case of this embodiment, the rotor 740 is composed of permanent magnets and has 24 magnetic poles.

Here, the operating principle of the stepping motor 700 will be described. The stepping motor 700 rotates the rotor 740 by passing an electric current through a coil wound around the stator 730 to magnetize each phase of the stator 730 in order based on an excitation pattern described later, and attracting the rotor 740 with a magnetic force. It is configured as follows.

In the 1-2 phase excitation type, the four phases of the stator 730 described above are, for example, A phase (1 phase excitation) → A phase and B phase (hereinafter referred to as AB phase; 2 phase excitation) → B phase (1 phase excitation). ) → A-Phase and B-Phase (hereinafter referred to as AB-Phase; 2-Phase Excitation)-> A-Phase (1-Phase Excitation)-> A-Phase and B-Phase (hereinafter referred to as AB-Phase) Excitation) → B-phase (1-phase excitation) → A-phase and B-phase (hereinafter referred to as AB-phase; 2-phase excitation) → A-phase (1-phase excitation) → ... The rotor 740 is designed to rotate in a certain direction.

More specifically, the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 outputs an on-level pulse signal (for example, a high-level signal) to the phase for exciting the stator 730 of the stepping motor 700 via the drive circuit 322 shown in FIG. At the same time, an off-level pulse signal (for example, a low-level signal) is output to the non-excited phase to excite a predetermined phase. As a result, the rotor 740 of the stepping motor 700 is rotated by a predetermined angle (one step). For example, the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 outputs an on-level pulse signal to the A phase of the stator 730 of the stepping motor 700, and at the same time outputs an off-level pulse signal to the B phase, the A-phase, and the B-phase. By exciting only the A phase, the rotor is rotated by one pulse (one step), and thereafter, by switching the excitation in the above order, the rotor is rotated by a predetermined pulse. In addition, A phase-> AB phase-> B phase-> AB phase-> A- phase-> AB- phase-> B- phase-> AB- phase (or A phase-> AB- phase-> B- phase-> AB- The rotation of 8 pulses (8 steps) of phase-> A-phase-> AB phase-> B phase-> AB phase is hereinafter referred to as one cycle.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the number of pulses required to rotate the reel once (360 degrees) is set to 504 pulses (504 pulses / 8 pulses = 63 cycles). Therefore, the rotation angle of the rotor 740 per pulse is about 0.71428 degrees (= 360/504).

Further, the number of steps (number of pulses) required to rotate the reel one rotation (360 degree rotation) is 504 steps, and as described with reference to FIG. 4 (a), one reel has 21 frames of symbols. Is arranged, the number of steps for one frame is 504/21 = 24 steps.
<Excitation table>
The drive signal output from the CPU 304 to the drive circuit 322 is stored in the ROM 306 as an excitation table. The CPU 304 outputs an instructed drive signal by referring to the excitation table. FIG. 10 is a table showing the contents of the excitation table of the present embodiment. The data of each excitation table (also referred to as rotation control data because it is data for controlling the rotation of the reel) is 6 bit data (specifically, AI0, AI1, A-Phase, B-I0). , B-I1, B-Phase) are combined to represent the exciting phase and exciting force. Specifically, the combination of A-I0 and A-I1 indicates the magnitude of the current (exciting magnetic field) for exciting the A-phase or A-phase coil, and A-I0 is 0, A-. When I1 is 0, 0%, when A-I0 is 1, 20% when A-I1 is 0, when A-I0 is 0, when A-I1 is 1, 60%, and A-I0. 1. When AI1 is 1, it indicates that it is 100%, when A-Phase is 1, it indicates the excitation of the A phase, and when it is 0, it indicates the excitation of the A-phase. Similarly, the combination of B-I0 and B-I1 indicates the magnitude of the current (exciting force) for exciting the B-phase or B-phase coil, where B-I0 is 0 and B-I1. Is 0, 0%, B-I0 is 1, B-I1 is 0, 20%, B-I0 is 0, B-I1 is 1, 60%, B-I0 is 1. , When B-I1 is 1, it indicates that it is 100%, when B-Phase is 1, it indicates the excitation of the B phase, and when it is 0, it indicates the excitation of the B-phase.

For example, in the excitation table "55H" having the table number "B0", A-I0 is 1, A-I1 is 0, A-Phase is 1, B-I0 is 1, B-I1 is 0, and B-Phase is. Since it is 1, it indicates that the AB phase is excited at 20%. Further, in the excitation table "26H" having the table number "C2", A-I0 is 0, A-I1 is 1, A-Phase is 1, B-I0 is 0, B-I1 is 0, and B-Phase is. Since it is 0, it indicates that the A phase is excited at 60% (the B- phase is 0%, so there is no excitation). Therefore, when switching the table number from "C0"->"C1"->"C2"->"C3"->"C4"->"C5"->"C6"->"C7", AB phase-> A phase-> It is possible to excite each phase by 60% in the order of AB-phase → B-phase → AB-phase → A-phase → AB phase → B phase, and rotate the rotor 740 by an angle of one cycle. can. As described above, in the present embodiment, the reel is rotated and controlled by outputting the data (rotation control data) of the excitation table composed of 6 bits to the drive circuit 322 as a drive signal. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, 0% of the exciting force is also referred to as no excitation, 20% of the exciting force is also referred to as weak excitation, 60% of the exciting force is referred to as medium excitation, and 100% of the exciting force is also referred to as strong excitation.
<Rotation control table>
FIG. 11 is a table showing the contents of the rotation control table of the present embodiment. The rotation control table is stored in the ROM 306, and stores the contents of the rotation control for each reel control status (specifically, it is composed of a general-purpose offset counter value, an excitation table, and a holding parameter). The reel control status is information on a reel control state that is independently stored for each reel of each reel 110-112, and is information indicating that each reel of reels 110-112 is in a stopped state. "Stop control state (during stop control)", "acceleration state (during acceleration control)" which is information indicating that each reel of reels 110 to 112 is in an acceleration state, and reels 110 to 112 are in a constant speed state. Information indicating that there is a "constant speed state (during constant speed control)", reels 110 to 112 Information indicating that each reel is in a retracted state "pulled state (during pulling control)", reels 110 112 Information indicating that each reel is in a braking state "Brake state (during brake control)", and information indicating that each reel of reels 110 to 112 is in a reel effect (details will be described later). Any information of "Reel effect control in progress" is stored. In the present embodiment, the constant speed state is further classified into two states having different exciting magnetic forces, and the "constant speed 1 state (during constant speed 1 control)" and the constant speed 1 state (during constant speed 1 control) set immediately after the acceleration state (constant speed 1 state). There is a "constant speed 2 state (during constant speed 2 control)" that is set immediately after (during constant speed 1 control). The constant speed 1 state is provided to stably rotate the reels 110 to 112 and to save power, and the constant speed 2 state is to weaken the exciting force and suppress the heat generation of the reels 110 to 112. It is provided in. The slot machine 100 of the present embodiment changes the reel control status from stop control → acceleration control → constant speed 1 control → constant speed 2 control → pull-in control → brake control → stop control. The rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is controlled by selecting the excitation table (rotation control data) corresponding to each reel status.

For example, when the reel control status is "acceleration control in progress", as shown in FIG. 11, first, the rotation control data of the excitation table "77H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "0" is held for "12", and then the rotation control data is held for "12". , The rotation control data of the excitation table "07H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "1" is held for "12", and then the rotation control data of the excitation table "37H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "2" is ". 3 ”Holding time, then the rotation control data of the excitation table“ 30H ”corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value“ 3 ”is sequentially rotated from the top row to the bottom row of the table, such as“ 3 ”holding time. Set the data. Then, the reels 110 to 112 are accelerated by gradually reducing the holding time of the rotation control data that is sequentially set.

The general-purpose offset counter value is a number indicating the order in which the rotation control data is executed in each reel control status (0 origin), and is a circulation value that returns to 0 after 7. Further, the holding time (holding parameter) indicates the time for holding the set rotation control data, and 1 holding time indicates the interrupt time (for example, 1.49 ms). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, in the "acceleration control" of the present embodiment, 1-2 phase 100% excitation (strong excitation) is performed, and a time of 89.4 ms (= 1.49 × 60) is required. It is configured as follows.

Further, when the reel control status is "constant speed 1 control in progress", as shown in FIG. 11, first, the rotation control data of the excitation table "77H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "0" is held for "1". Next, the rotation control data of the excitation table "07H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "1" is held for "1", and then the rotation control data of the excitation table "37H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "2". The rotation control data is sequentially set from the top row to the bottom row of the table, such as “1” holding time, and so on, and the rotation control data described in the table is set as one set and repeated 16 times. That is, by switching the rotation control data that is sequentially set in one holding time and executing 16 sets, the reel is stably rotated at a constant speed. As a result, the "constant speed 1 control" of the present embodiment is configured to require a time of 190.72 ms (= 1.49 x 8 x 16 sets) with 1-2 phase 100% excitation (strong excitation). ing. During the constant speed 1 control described above, the control pattern such as one set of rotation control data is always repeated a predetermined number of times.

Further, when the reel control status is "constant speed 2 control in progress", as shown in FIG. 11, first, the rotation control data of the excitation table "66H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "0" is held for "1". Next, the rotation control data of the excitation table "06H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "1" is held for "1", and then the rotation control data of the excitation table "26H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "2". The rotation control data is sequentially set from the top row to the bottom row of the table, such as "1" holding time, and so on. That is, the reel is rotated at a constant speed by switching the rotation control data that is sequentially set in one holding time. As a result, the "constant speed 2 control" of the present embodiment is configured so that the 1-2 phase 60% excitation (medium excitation) state is continued until there is a stop operation in the stoptable state described in detail later. Has been done. In the constant speed 2 control described above, a control pattern such as rotation control data having a general-purpose offset counter value of "0" to "7" is repeated an infinite number of times, and when a stop operation is performed in a stoptable state, the control pattern is in the middle of the control pattern. Even if there is, the constant speed 2 control is finished.

Further, when the reel control status is "pull-in control in progress", the rotation control data used in "constant speed 2 control in progress" is continuously set in sequence. For example, in the case of "constant speed 2 control", the rotation control data of the excitation table "42H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "5" is shifted to "pull-in control" after setting the "1" holding time. The rotation control data of the excitation table "62H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "6" is stored for "1", and then the rotation control data of the excitation table "64H" corresponding to the general-purpose offset counter value "7". After setting "1" holding time, the rotation control data of each excitation table corresponding to the number of steps corresponding to the number of drawn frames (number of drawn frames x 24) and the general-purpose offset counter value 0 to 7 is set to "1" holding time. It is set repeatedly one by one (in this embodiment, it is stopped in the AB phase).

In the following description, the processing is divided into the second constant speed control process (FIG. 21) and the pull-in control process (FIG. 24). The "second constant speed control" shown in is being executed.

Further, when the reel control status is "brake control in progress", as shown in FIG. 11, the rotating reel is braked by performing 1-2 phase 100% excitation (strong excitation) for 74.5 ms. , The reel is stopped.

Further, when the reel control status is "reel stop control in progress", as shown in FIG. 11, the stopped state is maintained by continuing 1-2 phase 20% excitation (weak excitation).

First, the main processing of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main processing of the main control unit 300.

The basic control of the game is mainly performed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300, and the CPU 304 repeatedly executes the main process of the main control unit shown in the figure unless a power failure or the like is detected.

When the power is turned on, first, in step S101, various initial settings are performed. In this initial setting, the initial stack value is set in the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304 shown in FIG. 3, the interrupt prohibition is set, the I / O 310 is initialized, the various variables stored in the RAM 308 are initialized, and the WDT 314 is set. Allow operation and set initial values.

In step S102, the medal insertion / start operation acceptance process is executed. Here, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted, and the winning line indicator lamp 120 shown in FIG. 1 is turned on according to the insertion of a medal. Further, preparations are made for transmitting a medal insertion command indicating that a medal has been inserted to the first sub-control unit 400 shown in FIG. If the player wins the re-game in the previous game, the process of inserting the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is performed, so that the player does not need to insert medals. In addition, it checks whether the start lever 135 has been operated, and if it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the number of medals inserted is determined, a valid winning line is determined, and the random number generation circuit 316 generates the medals. The random numbers (first random number value and second random number value) are acquired. Further, in step S102, preparations are made for transmitting a start lever reception command indicating that the start lever 135 has been operated to the first sub-control unit 400.

In step S103, the winning combination internal lottery process is performed. The details of the winning combination internal lottery process will be described later.

In step S104, the reel stop preparation process is performed. In the reel stop preparation process, reel stop data is selected for each reel 110 to 112 based on the result of the winning combination internal lottery process in step S103.

In step S105, a reel rotation start process for starting the rotation of all reels 110 to 112 is executed based on the start operation. The details of this reel rotation start processing will also be described later.

Since steps S106 and S107 are performed for each reel and are performed for the three reels 110 to 112, they are repeated three times. The RAM 308 is provided with a stop button reception flag for each reel. Stop buttons 137 to 139 are provided on each reel in a one-to-one correspondence, and stop button reception flags also correspond to stop buttons 137 to 139 in a one-to-one relationship. This stop button reception flag is set to either reception possible or reception prohibition. In step S106, since the reel rotation start process (step S105) has been started, this stop button acceptance flag is set to be acceptable. The stop button reception flag is set to prohibit reception when the corresponding stop button is operated in the stop button reception process in the reel rotation control process executed in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit, which will be described later. In step S107, it is determined whether or not the stop button acceptance flag set to accept acceptance in step S106 has returned to acceptance prohibition. This step S107 is repeatedly executed until the stop button reception flag returns to the reception prohibition. That is, in step S107, the operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is waiting to be accepted. When the determination in step S step S107 is Yes for all three reels 110 to 112, all three reels 110 to 112 are stopped.

In the following step S108, the winning determination of the stopped symbol is performed by operating the stop buttons 137 to 139. Here, when the winning symbol combinations corresponding to the internally won winning combination or the winning combination with the flag carried over are aligned (displayed) on the activated winning line, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. For example, if "Replay-Replay-Replay" is aligned on the activated winning line, it is determined that the winning is a replay winning. Further, in step S108, preparations are made for transmitting a display determination command indicating the result of the winning determination to the first sub-control unit 400.

In step S109, the medal payout process is performed. In this medal payout process, if any winning combination with a payout is won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.

In step S110, the game state control process is performed. In this game state control process, control for shifting the game state is performed. For example, in the case of a BB (big bonus) prize, preparations are made so that the BB (big bonus) game can be started from the next time, and in those final games. , Prepare to start the normal game from the next time. Further, in step S110, preparations are made for transmitting a game state command indicating the game state to the first sub-control unit 400.

With the above, one game is completed. After that, the game proceeds by returning to step S102 and repeating the above-described processing. The various commands prepared in each of the above steps are transmitted in the command setting transmission process (step S209 shown in FIG. 15) of the main control unit timer interrupt process described later.
<Internal lottery process for prizewinners>
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the winning combination internal lottery process in step S103 shown in FIG.

In step S1031, the internal lottery of the winning combination shown in FIG. 4B is performed using the first random number value acquired in step S102 and the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306. As a result of this internal lottery, if any of the winning combinations is internally won, the winning combination flag is turned on internally.

Subsequently, in step S1032, a lottery for whether or not the reel effect can be executed is performed. The reel effect is an effect that makes the rotating reel appear to have stopped as an effect, and in the reel effect, strictly speaking, the reel is not stopped and is shaking. The reel effects in the present embodiment include a first reel effect that does not require the player to operate, and a second reel effect that requires the player to operate the stop buttons 137 to 139. The first reel effect is a so-called reel action, and the second reel effect is a so-called pseudo game. In the lottery here, the execution of the first reel effect, the execution of the second reel effect, and the reel effect are performed using the second random number value acquired in step S102 and the reel effect execution enable / disable lottery table stored in the ROM 306. Any one of the lottery results is derived from the lottery results such as not executing.

In step S1033, it is determined whether or not the first reel effect (reel action) has been won, and if it has been won, the reel effect information prepared in the RAM 308 is set to have the first reel effect (step S1034). The process proceeds to step S1035. On the other hand, if there is no winning, the process proceeds to step S1035 as it is.

In step S1035, it is determined whether or not the second reel effect (pseudo game) has been won, and if it has been won, the reel effect information prepared in the RAM 308 is set to have the second reel effect (step S1036). The process proceeds to step S1037. On the other hand, if there is no winning, the process proceeds to step S1037 as it is.

In step S1037, preparations are made to send an internal lottery result command indicating the results of the internal lottery for each of the winning combination and the reel effect to the first sub-control unit 400, and the winning combination internal lottery process ends.
<Reel rotation start processing>
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the reel rotation start processing in step S105 shown in FIG.

In step S1050, the game time monitoring timer value is acquired. The game time monitoring timer is a timer stored in a specific storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, and the time required for one game is set to a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds of the minimum game time). It is a timer set for the purpose of limiting the above, suppressing the number of acquisitions or losses of the game medium in a unit time, and limiting the gambling of the game. The game time monitoring timer is set with a predetermined timer value (for example, a timer value corresponding to 4.1 seconds) in step S1052 described later, and each time the timer interrupt process (described later) of the main control unit 300 is executed. It will be decremented.

In step S1051, it is determined whether or not the acquired game time monitoring timer value has passed 4.1 seconds or more. That is, if the value of the game time monitoring timer is 0, it means that 4.1 seconds or more have passed, but if the value of the game time monitoring timer is larger than 0, 4.1 seconds have passed. There will be no. When the game time monitoring timer value has passed 4.1 seconds or more, the game may be started this time, so the process proceeds to step S1052. On the other hand, when the game time monitoring timer value does not elapse 4.1 seconds, the process returns to step S1050 and the process is repeated. While the process is repeated, the timer value of the game time monitoring timer is decremented for each timer interrupt of the main control unit 300, and when the game time monitoring timer becomes 0, the process proceeds to step S1052.

In step S1052, the game time monitoring timer value is reset. Specifically, a timer value corresponding to 4.1 seconds is stored in a specific area of the RAM 308. In the present embodiment, the time when the game time monitoring timer value is set is the start timing of one game. The end timing of one game is the next time the game time monitoring timer value is set. That is, one game is from setting the game time monitoring timer value to setting the next game time monitoring timer value. Further, since the game time monitoring timer value is set for each rotation start of each reel 110-112, the period from the start of rotation of each reel 110-112 to the next start of rotation of each reel 110-112 It can also be a one-time game. The end timing of one game may be when the game time monitoring timer value becomes 0 and the game state control process of S110 in FIG. 12 is completed. In addition, the start timing of one game is set to the time when the effective start lever is accepted, the end timing of one game is set to the time when the effective bet button operation can be accepted, and the start lever is effective from the time when the bet button operation can be accepted. The period until the reception of is may be the preparation period for the start of the next game.

In step S1053, the reel rotation start command to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is set to prepare for transmission. The reel rotation start command is a command indicating the start of rotation of the reels 110 to 112.

In step S1054, the status of the left reel 110 is set to "rotation start".

In step S1055, the status of the middle reel 111 is set to "rotation start".

In step S1056, the status of the right reel 112 is set to "rotation start".

In step S1057, it is determined whether or not the reel effect information set in step S1034 or step S1036 shown in FIG. 13 is set to have the first reel effect or the second reel effect, and if it is set, it is determined. , The reel control status is set to "reel effect control in progress" (step S1058), and this reel rotation start process ends. If it is not set, the reel control status is set to "acceleration state (acceleration control in progress)" (step S1058), and this reel rotation start process ends. As described above, the reel control status is information on the control state of the reels that are independently stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 for each of the reels 110 to 112, and is "stopped". Control state (during stop control), "acceleration state (during acceleration control)", "constant speed 1 state (during constant speed 1 control)", "constant speed 2 state (during constant speed 2 control)", "pull-in state" Information of any of "(pull-in control in progress)", "brake state (brake control in progress)", and "reel effect control in progress" is stored. Further, in step S1059, the acceleration start request flag is turned ON. The acceleration start request flag is flag information stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, and is referred to in the acceleration control process described later.
<Main control unit timer interrupt processing>
Next, the main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the timer interrupt process of the main control unit.

The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (once every 1.5 ms in the present embodiment), and the main control unit timer is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. The interrupt process is executed at a predetermined cycle.

In step S201, the timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving the value of each register of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

In step S202, the WDT is periodically (this) so that the count value of the WDT 314 does not exceed the initial setting value (32.8 ms in the present embodiment) and the WDT interrupt does not occur (so as not to detect an abnormality in the process). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every 1.49 ms, which is the cycle of interrupting the main control unit timer.

In step S203, the input port state update process is performed. In this input port state update process, the detection signals of the sensor circuits 320 of the various sensors 318 are input via the input port of the I / O 310 shown in FIG. 3 to monitor the presence or absence of the detection signals, and the RAM 308 is used for each of the various sensors 318. It is stored in the signal state storage area provided in the section.

In step S204, various game processes are performed. Specifically, the interrupt status is acquired (various interrupt statuses are acquired based on the signals from the various sensors 318 shown in FIG. 3), and processing is performed according to this status. For example, if the interrupt status is in the medal insertion process, the medal insertion acceptance process is performed, and if the interrupt status is the payout process, the medal payout process is performed.

In step S205, the timer update process is performed. Various timers are updated in each time unit. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the subtraction update of the game time monitoring timer described above is performed.

In step S206, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, in step S1003, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area are read out, the presence or absence of errors related to medal insertion abnormality, medal payout abnormality, etc. is monitored, and when an error is detected, Performs error handling. Further, the medal selector 170 (medal blocker in which the solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 338, and various 7-segment (SEG) displays are set according to the current gaming state.

In step S207, the stop button display control process is performed. The details of the stop button display control process will be described later.

In step S208, when the status of each reel stored in the RAM 308 is "rotation start", the reel rotation control process (details will be described later) is performed. In this reel rotation control process, the rotation of the reel is controlled, and from a plurality of reel stop data candidates selected in step S106 of the main control unit main process, the reels 110 to 112 are actually stopped according to the stop order and the stop state. After determining the reel stop data to be used for the reel stop control, the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 137 to 139 is stopped based on the determined reel stop data.

In step S209, the command setting transmission process is performed, and various commands are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The output schedule information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits in the present embodiment, and bits 15 are strobe information (when on, it indicates that data is set) and bits 11. ~ 14 are command types (in this embodiment, a basic command, a start lever reception command, an internal lottery command, a rotation start command accompanying the start of rotation of the reels 110 to 112, and a stop button accompanying the reception of operations of the stop buttons 137 to 139. The reception command, the stop position information command associated with the stop processing of the reels 110 to 112, the payout number command and the payout end command associated with the medal payout process, etc.), and bits 0 to 10 are command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type). It is configured.

The first sub-control unit 400 can determine the effect control according to the change in the game control in the main control unit 300 depending on the command type included in the received output schedule information, and is included in the output schedule information. It is possible to determine the effect control content based on the information of the command data.

In step S210, external signal output processing is performed. In this external signal output processing, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 652, which is separate from the slot machine 100, via the information output circuit 334 shown in FIG.

In step S211 it is monitored whether or not the low voltage signal is on. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when the power cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step S213, and when the low voltage signal is off (when the power supply cutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step S212.

In step S212, various processes (timer interrupt end process) for terminating the timer interrupt process are performed. In this timer interrupt end process, the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 is set in each of the original registers. After that, the process returns to the main processing of the main control unit shown in FIG.

On the other hand, in step S213, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the state at the time of power failure at the time of power recovery is saved as recovery data in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and power failure processing such as initialization of the input / output port is performed. After that, the process returns to the main processing of the main control unit shown in FIG.
<Stop button display control process>
Next, the stop button display control process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the stop button display control process in step S207 shown in FIG.

In step S2071, it is determined whether or not even one of the stop button reception flags corresponding to each of the three reels 110 to 112 is set to be acceptable. As described above, the stop button acceptance flag is set for each reel (for each stop button) so that it can be accepted in step S106 in the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG. If all the stop button reception flags are set to prohibit reception, this stop button display control process ends, and if one or more stop button reception flags are set to accept, this time, all Whether or not the reels 110 to 112 have already shifted to the constant speed 2 state is determined with reference to the reel control status of each reel (step S2702). In step S2702, if the reel control status of each reel is any one of "constant speed 2 state", "pull-in state", and "brake state", the determination result of Yes is obtained, and the process proceeds to step S2703. On the other hand, if the reel control status is "acceleration state" or "constant speed 1 state" even for one reel, this stop button display control process ends.

In step S2703, it is determined whether or not the light-shielding piece is detected by the index sensor for all the reels 110-112. The RAM 308 is provided with an index sensor detection storage area for storing detection information indicating whether or not the index sensor has detected a light-shielding piece for each reel. In step S2703, index sensors for all reels are provided. Judgment is made by referring to the detection storage area. If the undetected detection information is stored even for one reel, this stop button display control process ends. On the other hand, if the detected detection information that has been detected is stored for all the reels 110 to 112, the process proceeds to step S2704.

The RAM 308 is also provided with a light emitting mode storage area for storing the light emitting modes of the light emitting bodies 137a to 139a provided inside each of the stop buttons 137 to 139. That is, a light emitting mode storage area is prepared for each reel (stop button). The initial light emitting modes of the light emitters 137a to 139a are, for example, a non-light emitting mode (a mode in which the light is turned off) or a first color light emitting mode. Hereinafter, the initial light emitting mode is referred to as the first light emitting mode. Initially, the first light emitting mode is stored as the light emitting mode information in the light emitting mode storage area. In the situation where the process has proceeded to step S2704, all reels 110 to 112 have not stopped (at least one reel is rotating), and all reels 110 to 112 have already shifted to the constant speed 2 state. Moreover, the light-shielding piece is detected. In this state, the light emitting mode of the light emitting body provided inside the stop button for the reel that continues to rotate at the constant speed 2 state is changed from the first light emitting mode to the second light emitting mode. The second light emitting mode is, for example, a blinking mode or a second color light emitting mode. Further, when the first light emitting mode is the light emitting mode of the first color, it may be a non-light emitting mode (a mode in which the light is turned off). Further, when the second light emitting mode is the second color light emitting mode, the first light emitting mode may be the blinking mode. As described above, the first light emitting mode and the second light emitting mode may be different from each other including the extinguishing mode and the blinking mode. The second light emitting mode is a mode for notifying that the operation of the stop button of the second light emitting mode is accepted. That is, it is an aspect of notifying that the reel corresponding to the stop button of the second light emitting mode is in a stoptable state by operating the stop button. In step S2704, the illuminant information in the light emitting mode storage area of the reel in which the stop button reception flag is set to be acceptable is updated to the second light emitting mode, and this stop button display control process ends. By executing this step S2704, for example, all the reels 110 to 112 are not stopped, all the reels 110 to 112 have already been shifted to the constant speed 2 state, and the shading piece is detected. In this state, the light emitting modes of the light emitting bodies 137a to 139a provided inside all the stop buttons 137 to 139 change in line with the second light emitting mode. Further, when some of the reels are stopped and the remaining reels have already shifted to the constant speed 2 state and the light-shielding piece is detected, the remaining reels (rotating). Only the light emitting mode of the light emitting body provided inside the stop button of the reel) changes to the second light emitting mode.
<Reel rotation control processing>
Next, the reel rotation control process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the reel rotation control process in step S208 shown in FIG.

Since steps S208a to S208c are performed for each reel and for the three reels 110 to 112, step S208a is repeated at least three times. In this step S208a, it is determined whether or not the stop button acceptance flag is set to accept. That is, it is determined whether or not the target reel is rotating. If the stop button reception flag is set to prohibit reception, step S208a is executed for the remaining reels, or if step S208a is executed for all reels, the process proceeds to step S208d. On the other hand, if the stop button acceptance flag is set to accept acceptance, it is determined whether or not the light-shielding piece of the target reel is detected by the index sensor (step S208b). In the determination here, it is determined based on whether or not the detection signal from the index sensor has been received, and if it has not been received, step S208a is executed for the remaining reels, or step S208a is executed for all reels. If so, the process proceeds to step S208d. On the other hand, if it has been received, the index sensor detection storage area of the target reel is updated with the detected detection information (step S208c), and the process proceeds to step S208d. As described above, in the present embodiment, if the stop button reception flag is set to be acceptable each time the reel rotation control process is executed, it is determined whether or not the light-shielding piece of the target reel is detected by the index sensor. Therefore, even if the reel control status is "acceleration state" or "constant speed 1 state", the light-shielding piece of the target reel can be detected. However, when the light-shielding piece is detected only in a "certain state" (for example, "constant speed 1 state" or "constant speed 2 state"), refer to the reel control status between steps S208a and S208b. Then, a process of determining whether or not it is in a "certain state" is performed, and in the case of Yes, step S208b is executed, and in the case of No, step S208a is executed for the remaining reels, or a step for all reels. If S208a is being executed, the process may proceed to step S208d.

In step S208d, the stop button reception process is executed. This stop button reception process will be described later.

Steps S208f to S208k are performed for each reel, and are performed for the three reels 110 to 112. In step S208f, reel control information is acquired. Here, the reel control information means the entire information related to the rotation control of the reels 110 to 112, and is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308. In the present embodiment, the reel control information includes values such as the reel control status described above, the general-purpose offset counter, the reel control status transition counter described later, and the holding counter.

In step S208g, a reel control determination process (details will be described later) is performed based on the acquired reel control information.

In step S208h, it is determined whether or not the reel drive signal switching request flag is ON. The reel drive signal switching request flag is flag information stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, and indicates whether or not to switch the currently set rotation control data. When the reel drive signal switching request flag is ON, the currently set rotation control data is switched, and when the reel drive signal switching request flag is OFF, the currently set rotation control data is not switched. The reel drive signal switching request flag is set in the acceleration control process. If the reel drive signal switching request flag is ON, the process proceeds to step S208i, and if the reel drive signal switching request flag is OFF, the process proceeds to step S208k.

In step S208i, rotation control data is acquired based on the reel control status and the general-purpose offset counter value included in the acquired reel control information. Specifically, the corresponding excitation table (rotation control data) is acquired from the table shown in FIG. 11 based on the reel control status and the general-purpose offset counter value. For example, if the reel control status is "acceleration control in progress" and the general-purpose offset counter value is "0", the rotation control data of the excitation table "77H" is acquired.

In step S208j, the rotation control data acquired in step S208i is set.

In step S208k, since the content of the reel control information is changed according to the above-described processing, the reel control information is updated.
<Reel control judgment processing>
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the reel control determination process in step S208g shown in FIG. The reel control determination process is a process of sequentially switching the reel rotation control according to the reel control status described above. Specifically, the processing is executed in the order of acceleration control processing, reel effect control processing, first constant speed control processing, second constant speed control processing, pull-in control processing, and brake control processing.

In step S301, the reel control status is acquired.

In step S302, it is determined whether or not the acquired reel control status is "stop control in progress", and when the acquired reel control status is "stop control in progress", the reel control determination process ends. On the other hand, when the acquired reel control state is not "stop control in progress", the process proceeds to S303.

In step S303, it is determined whether or not the acquired reel control state is “reel effect control in progress”. When the reel control state is "reel effect control in progress", the process proceeds to step S304 to perform the reel effect control process. As described above, the reel effect includes a first reel effect that does not require a player operation (so-called reel action) and a reel effect that causes the player to operate the left, middle, and right stop buttons 137 to 139 (so-called pseudo game). There is. In the control of the first reel effect, at least one of the acceleration control, the first constant speed control, the second constant speed control, and the brake control of this game may be diverted, or the first reel effect control may be diverted. Each dedicated control process may be prepared. Further, in the first reel effect, the reel may be accelerated and then decelerated (brake control is executed) before maintaining the constant speed state. In the control of the second reel effect, at least one of the acceleration control, the first constant speed control, the second constant speed control, the brake control, and the pull-in control of the main game may be diverted, or the reel effect may be diverted. Each control process dedicated to control may be prepared. Further, the pull-in control may be performed based on the number of sliding frames of 5 or more, which cannot be performed in this game. After the reel effect is completed, the rotation start timing of each reel is delayed, and a random delay process is performed to prevent a plurality of reels from starting rotation at the same time, and then the reel control status is set during acceleration control. On the other hand, if the reel control state is not "reel effect control in progress", the process proceeds to step S305.

In step S305, it is determined whether or not the acquired reel control state is “acceleration control in progress”. When the reel control state is "acceleration control in progress", the process proceeds to step S306, and acceleration control processing (control processing for accelerating the rotation of the reel; details will be described later) is performed. On the other hand, when the reel control state is not "acceleration control in progress", the process proceeds to step S307.

In step S307, it is determined whether or not the acquired reel control state is "constant speed 1 control in progress". When the reel control state is "constant speed 1 control in progress", the process proceeds to step S308 to perform a first constant speed control process (control process for maintaining the rotation of the reel at a constant speed; details will be described later). On the other hand, when the reel control state is not "constant speed 1 control in progress", the process proceeds to step S309.

In step S309, it is determined whether or not the acquired reel control state is "constant speed 2 control in progress". When the reel control state is "constant speed 2 control in progress", the process proceeds to step S310 to perform a second constant speed control process (control process for maintaining the rotation of the reel at a constant speed; details will be described later). On the other hand, when the reel control state is not "constant speed 2 control in progress", the process proceeds to step S311.

In step S311 it is determined whether or not the acquired reel control state is “brake control in progress”. When the reel control state is "brake control in progress", the process proceeds to step S312, and a brake control process (control process for stopping the rotation of the reel; details will be described later) is performed. On the other hand, when the reel control state is not "brake control in progress", the process proceeds to step S313.

In step S313, since the reel control state is “pull-in control in progress”, a pull-in control process (process of pulling in and controlling the reel to the stop position; details will be described later) is performed.
<Acceleration control processing>
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the acceleration control process in step S306 shown in FIG.

In step S306a, it is determined whether or not there is an acceleration start request based on the acceleration start request flag. Since the acceleration start request flag is set to ON in step S1059 of the reel rotation start process shown in FIG. 14, it is determined to be YES in step S306a of the first timer interrupt process. Since the acceleration start request flag is set to OFF in step S306d described later, NO is determined in step S306a of the second and subsequent timer interrupt processing. If there is an acceleration start request, the process proceeds to step S306b, and if there is no acceleration start request, the process proceeds to step S306f.

In step S306b, the value of the reel control status transition counter is set to 0, which is an initial value. Here, the reel control status transition counter is a counter that measures the number of repeated sets (number of cycles) of rotation control data in one cycle of eight steps, and in the present embodiment, it is repeated three times as shown in FIG. And end the acceleration control process.

In step S306c, the value of the general-purpose offset counter is set to 0, which is an initial value.

In step S306d, the reel drive signal switching request flag is turned ON. Also, the acceleration start request flag is set to OFF.

In step S306e, a dummy value of 0 is set in the value of the symbol interval counter (details will be described later). The value of the symbol interval counter set in step S306e is used in the second constant speed control process described later. After the processing of step S306e is completed, the process proceeds to step S306q.

In step S306f, the value of the holding counter is subtracted by 1. The value of the holding counter is set in step S306q, which will be described later, and is decremented by 1 in one timer interrupt process. The initial value set in the holding counter in step S306q is the value of the holding parameter corresponding to the set general-purpose offset counter value. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the general-purpose offset counter value is 0. Is set in the retention counter with 12 as the initial value.

In step S306g, the reel drive signal switching request flag is set to OFF.

In step S306h, it is determined whether or not the value of the subtracted holding counter is 0. If the value of the holding counter is 0, it is the time to switch the rotation control data, so the process proceeds to step S306i. If the value of the holding counter is not 0, it is not the time to switch the rotation control data, so the acceleration control process ends. become.

In step S306i, since the rotation control data is being switched, the reel drive signal switching request flag is set to ON.

In step S306j, 1 is added to the value of the general-purpose offset counter in order to set the next rotation control data.

In step S306k, it is determined whether or not the added general-purpose offset counter value is 8. If the value of the general-purpose offset counter is 8, the rotation control of the set (cycle) is completed. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S306l. If the value of the general-purpose offset counter is not 8, the rotation of the set (cycle) is rotated. Since the control has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S306q.

In step S306l, the general-purpose offset counter value is set to 0, which is an initial value, in order to shift to the rotation control of the next set (cycle).

In step S306m, 1 is added to the value of the reel control status transition counter.

In step S306n, it is determined whether or not the value of the added reel control status transition counter is 3. If the value of the reel control status transition counter is 3, the process proceeds to step S306o, and if the value of the reel control status transition counter is not 3, the process proceeds to step S306q.

In step S306o, all the rotation controls set during the acceleration control have been performed, so the reel control status is set to "constant speed 1 control in progress".

In step S306p, the initial value 0 is set in the value of the reel control status transition counter. After the processing in step S306p is completed, the acceleration control processing is completed.

In step S306q, the rotation control table shown in FIG. 11 is referred to, and the reel control status is “acceleration control in progress”, and the holding parameter values corresponding to the set reel control status transition counter value and general-purpose offset counter value are acquired. Then, the acquired retention parameter value is set as the initial value of the retention counter. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the reel control status transition counter value is 0 and the general-purpose offset counter value is 0, 12 is set as the initial value of the holding counter, and the reel control status transition counter value 1 and the general-purpose offset counter value are set. In the case of 7, 1 is set as the initial value of the holding counter. After the processing of step S306q is completed, the acceleration control processing is completed.
<Constant speed control process>
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing in detail the first constant speed control process of step S308 shown in FIG.

In step S308a, 1 is added to the value of the general-purpose offset counter. That is, in the constant speed control process, as shown in FIG. 11, since the rotation control data is switched every 1 interrupt time, the value of the general-purpose offset counter is incremented for each timer interrupt process. Since the reel drive signal switching request flag is set to ON in step S1309 of the acceleration control process, the reel drive signal switching request flag is not subjected to the switching process. During the two constant speed control processes, it remains ON. Therefore, in the reel rotation control process of FIG. 17, rotation control data corresponding to the added general-purpose offset counter value is set for each timer interrupt process (see step S208j of FIG. 17).

In step S308b, it is determined whether or not the value of the added general-purpose offset counter is 8. If the value of the general-purpose offset counter is 8, the rotation control of the next set (cycle) is started. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S308c. If the value of the general-purpose offset counter is not 8, the rotation control of the set (cycle) is performed. Since the rotation control is not finished, the constant speed control process is finished.

In step S308c, the value of the general-purpose offset counter is set to 0, which is an initial value, in order to shift to the rotation control of the next set (cycle).

In step S308d, 1 is added to the value of the reel control status transition counter.

In step S308e, it is determined whether or not the value of the added reel control status transition counter is 16. If the value of the reel control status transition counter is 16, 16 sets of rotation control have been completed (see FIG. 11). Therefore, the process proceeds to step S308f, and if the value of the reel control status transition counter is not 16, the first step is performed. The constant speed control process ends.

In step S308f, all the rotation controls set during the constant speed 1 control have been performed, so the reel control status is set to "constant speed 2 control".
<Second constant speed control process>
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing in detail the second constant speed control process of step S310 shown in FIG. The second constant speed control process mainly performs a process of tracking the symbol position of the reel. In order for the main control unit 300 to grasp the symbol position of the reel, the symbol position is monitored by using two counters, a "symbol number counter" and a "symbol interval counter". Here, the "symbol number counter" and the "symbol interval counter" will be described.

FIG. 4 is also a diagram showing the relationship between the symbol number counter and the symbol interval counter. The symbol number counter is a counter provided in the RAM 308 for storing and holding a symbol located in the middle of the symbol display window 113, which is a reference position. For example, regarding the left reel 110, the upper end of the symbol row of the left reel 110 is used. The BB symbol of the above is the reference position, and the count is started from the time when the index sensor 606A passes through the light-shielding piece 612D. Each symbol and the count value are associated with each other in advance, and the main control unit 300 may identify the symbol stopped and displayed in the symbol display window 113 from the symbol number counter value when the reel is stopped, and determine the winning. can. The symbol interval counter is also a counter provided in the RAM 308, and counts the number of drive pulses (timer interrupt processing count) per symbol. The main control unit 300 sets the number of drive pulses per symbol (24 in this case) in the symbol interval counter, subtracts each drive pulse output, and when the value of the symbol interval counter becomes 0, the symbol number counter. Is updated by 1.

In step S310a, 1 is added to the value of the general-purpose offset counter. That is, in the second constant speed control process, as shown in FIG. 11, since the rotation control data is switched every 1 interrupt time, the value of the general-purpose offset counter is incremented for each timer interrupt process. Further, since the reel drive signal switching request flag is still ON, in the reel rotation control process of FIG. 17, rotation control data corresponding to the added general-purpose offset counter value is set for each timer interrupt process (FIG. See step S208l in step 17).

In step S310b, it is determined whether or not the added general-purpose offset counter value is 8. If the value of the general-purpose offset counter is 8, the rotation control of the next set (cycle) is started. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S310c. If the value of the general-purpose offset counter is not 8, the rotation control of the set (cycle) is performed. Since the rotation control has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S310d.

In step S310c, an initial value of 0 is set in the value of the general-purpose offset counter in order to shift to the rotation control of the next set (cycle).

In step S310d, the value of the symbol interval counter is subtracted by 1. That is, the value of the symbol interval counter is decremented every interrupt time.

In step S310e, it is determined whether or not the value of the subtracted symbol interval counter is 0. If the value of the symbol interval counter is 0, the process proceeds to step S310f, and if the value of the symbol interval counter is not 0, the process proceeds to step S310h.

In step S310f, when the value of the symbol interval counter is 0, the next symbol is replaced, so the initial value 24 is set as the value of the symbol interval counter.

In step S310g, the value of the symbol number counter is subtracted by 1 in order to update to the next symbol.

In step S310h, the detection information of the index sensor is acquired from the index sensor detection storage area of the RAM 308. As described above, this detection information is updated in the reel rotation control process shown in FIG. 17 (step S208c). In each of the three reels, the light-shielding piece is provided at a position where the symbol number counter value is 0 and the symbol interval counter value is 0, and the light-shielding piece is the light-emitting part and the light-receiving part of the index sensor. When passing between, it is considered that there is detection.

In step S310i, if the acquired index sensor detection information has been detected, the process proceeds to step S310j, and if not, the process proceeds to step S310n.

In step S310j, since the symbol position of the reel can be searched, the stop button valid information is set in the predetermined area of the RAM 308. That is, since the light-shielding piece provided at the position where the symbol number counter value is 0 and the symbol interval counter value is 0 is detected in the constant speed state, the stop position of the reel can be controlled, and the reel can be stopped. become. When the stop button valid information is set (when the stop button can be stopped), the operation of the stop button is accepted. If the stop button for which the stop button valid information is not set is operated, the operation itself is accepted, but the operation is invalidated, and the reel corresponding to the stop button does not stop. Alternatively, the operation itself may not be accepted.

In the present embodiment, the stop button valid information is set in the second constant speed control process, but the stop button valid information is set so that steps S310h to S310j are executed in the first constant speed control process. However, it may be set in the first constant speed control process.

In step S310k, the initial value 24 is set as the value of the symbol interval counter.

In step S310l, the initial value 0 is set in the value of the symbol number counter.

In step S310m, the initial value 0 is set to the value of the step-out detection counter provided in the RAM 308. After the processing in step S310m is completed, the second constant speed control processing is completed.

In step S310n, the step-out detection process is performed based on the value of the step-out detection counter. In the step-out detection process, the value of the step-out detection counter is added to 1 for each interruption to add 1 to a specific value (for example, the value of the number of pulses required to rotate the reel once (360 degrees), here 504. ), It is determined that the reels are stepped out (so-called step-out), and all the reels that have not been operated are restarted from the acceleration control. However, only the reels that have stepped out may be restarted from the acceleration control. In the present embodiment, since the step-out detection process is performed only in the second constant speed control process, the step-out is performed during the period of the first constant speed control process and the acceleration control process prior to the second constant speed control process. In this case, the step-out detection process is not performed and the main control unit 300 cannot detect the step-out. However, the step-out detection process may be performed even during this period. Further, in addition to the step-out, a process for detecting another abnormal state (for example, resonance, misstep, motor stop) may be performed. After the processing in step S310n is completed, the second constant speed control processing is completed.
<Stop button reception process>
FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing in detail the stop button reception process of step S208d shown in FIG. The stop button acceptance process is executed after the stop button valid information is set in the state where the operations of the stop buttons 137 to 139 can be accepted, that is, in step S310j of the second constant speed control process shown in FIG. Is to be done. The stop button reception process is a process of determining the stop position of the corresponding reel based on the operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139.

In step S208d1, stop reception information is acquired. Here, the stop reception information is the stop button valid information or a part of the reel control information, and means all the information necessary for determining the stop reception.

In step S208d2, the reels that can be stopped are determined from the acquired stop reception information, and the reels that can be stopped are set in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 (for example, when it is determined that the left reel 110 is a reel that can be stopped). , Set the left reel 110).

In step S208d3, it is determined whether or not the operation of the stop button corresponding to the reel represented by the set stoptable reel information has been performed. That is, it is determined whether or not the operation of the stop button corresponding to the stoptable reel is accepted. If there is an operation (reception) of the stop button, the process proceeds to step S208d4, and if there is no operation (reception) of the stop button, the process proceeds to step S208d8.

In step S208d4, data regarding the reel to be stopped (reel data to be stopped) is acquired.

In step S208d5, the pull-in counter setting process (details will be described later) is performed.

In step S208d6, the status of the reel on which the stop operation was performed is updated to "stop" by operating the stop button corresponding to the stoptable reel.

In step S208d7, the stop button acceptance flag, which has been set to be acceptable, is set to prohibit acceptance.

In step S208d8, the light emission mode information stored in the light emission mode storage area prepared for each reel in the RAM 308 is updated. That is, the light emitting mode of the light emitting body built in the stop button corresponding to the reel to be stopped is updated from the second light emitting mode (for example, the blue light emitting mode) to the first light emitting mode (for example, the red light emitting mode). .. When step S208d8 ends, the stop button acceptance process ends.
<Pull-in counter setting process>
FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing in detail the pull-in counter setting process in step S208d5 shown in FIG. 22.

In step S8d51, the value of the symbol number counter is acquired to detect the stop-operated position.

In step S8d52, the number of drawn frames is acquired from the selected reel stop control data based on the position where the stop operation is performed. That is, the reel stop control data is selected based on the result of the winning combination internal lottery process (internal lottery result) shown in FIG. In the reel stop control data, the number of drawn frames corresponding to the symbol position number at the symbol position (middle stage reference) when the stop operation is performed is defined.

In step S8d53, the number of interrupts remaining is acquired by referring to the excitation table. Specifically, in the present embodiment, since the engine is stopped at the position corresponding to the AB phase, it is next to the exciting phase indicated by the previously set rotation control data (the last rotation control data set during the constant speed 2 control). The number of steps from the exciting phase to the exciting phase immediately before the AB phase is acquired as the interrupt remaining number. For example, when the stop operation is performed during the control using the excitation table 22H during the constant speed 2 control, the number of interrupt remaining is 3 steps.

In step S8d54, a pull-in counter value is calculated from the acquired number of pull-in frames and the number of remaining interrupts, and the calculated pull-in counter value is set in the pull-in counter. Specifically, the position of the AB phase corresponding to the stop holding position (for example, the position corresponding to the predetermined AB phase) prior to the stop holding position (for example, the position corresponding to the predetermined AB phase) in which the rotor 740 is scheduled to be stopped and held. The value up to (the position corresponding to the AB phase one cycle before) is the number of steps according to the number of frames to be pulled in, and the value obtained by adding the remaining number of interrupts to this value is set in the pull-in counter.

In step S8d55, the reel control status is set to "pull-in control in progress".
<Retract control processing>
FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing in detail the pull-in control process of step S313 shown in FIG. Here, in the pull-in control process, in order to realize stop control according to the result of the internal lottery, when the reel is stopped, the reel is set to a predetermined number of frames from the operated symbol position of the stop buttons 137 to 139. In the present embodiment, it refers to a process of sliding and stopping (0 to 4 frames). As a result, for the winning combination that was internally won in the internal lottery, or for the winning combination that is carrying over the so-called flag, it is allowed that the corresponding symbol combinations are displayed together, but if not, each winning combination is displayed. The symbol combinations corresponding to are not displayed together.

In step S3131, 1 is added to the value of the general-purpose offset counter. That is, in the pull-in control process, the rotation control data is switched every 1 interrupt time, so that the value of the general-purpose offset counter is updated for each timer interrupt process. Further, since the reel drive signal switching request flag is still ON, in the reel rotation control process shown in FIG. 17, rotation control data corresponding to the added general-purpose offset counter value is set for each timer interrupt process (). See step S208j in FIG. 17).

In step S3132, it is determined whether or not the value of the added general-purpose offset counter is 8. If the value of the general-purpose offset counter is 8, the remaining rotation control of the set (cycle) has ended. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S3133, and if the value of the general-purpose offset counter is not 8, the set (cycle) Since the remaining rotation control of is not completed, the process proceeds to step S3134.

In step S3133, the value of the general-purpose offset counter is set to 0, which is an initial value.

In step S3134, the value of the pull-in counter is updated. Specifically, the value of the pull-in counter is subtracted by 1.

In step S3135, it is determined whether or not the value of the updated pull-in counter is 0. If the value of the pull-in counter is 0, the process proceeds to step S3136, and if the value of the pull-in counter is not 0, the pull-in control process ends.

In step S3136, the value of the pull-in counter becomes 0 and the stop position is reached, so the reel control status is set to "brake control in progress".

In step S3137, the initial value 50 is set as the value of the holding counter. Here, the set holding counter value 50 is the holding time of the rotation control data when the reel control status is "brake control in progress" and the general-purpose offset counter value is 0 (see FIG. 11). After the processing in step S3137 is completed, the pull-in control processing is completed.
<Brake control processing>
FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the brake control process of step S312 shown in FIG. 18 in detail.

In step S3121, 1 is subtracted from the value of the holding counter. The value of the holding counter is initially set in step S3137 shown in FIG. 24 and is subtracted by 1 in one timer interrupt process.

In step S3122, it is determined whether or not the value of the subtracted holding counter is 0. If the value of the holding counter is 0, the process proceeds to step S3123, and if the value of the holding counter is not 0, the brake control process ends.

In step S3123, since the rotation control in the brake control is finished, the reel control status is set to "reel stop control in progress". When the reel control status is "reel stop control in progress", weak excitation (20% excitation) is continued at the stop holding position (for example, a predetermined AB phase) (see FIG. 11). After the process of step S3123 is completed, the brake control process is ended.
<Processing of the first sub-control unit 400>
The processing of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 26. Note that FIG. 3A is a flowchart of the main process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400. FIG. 3B is a flowchart of a command input process of the first sub-control unit 400, and FIG. 3C is a flowchart of a command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400. ) Is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400.

When the power is turned on, the initialization process is first executed in step S2001. In this initialization process, the initial setting of the input / output port, the initialization process of the storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed.

In step S2002, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S2003.

In step S2003, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

In step S2004, the first sub-control unit command input process (details will be described later) is performed. In the first sub-control unit command input process, it is determined whether or not a command has been received from the main control unit 300.

In step S2005, the effect update process is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S2004, the effect data is read from the ROM 406 based on the result of each event process (for example, effect setting process, game state control process, etc.) corresponding to this command. If it is necessary to update the effect data, the effect data of each effect device (speaker, lamp, liquid crystal image display device, shutter, etc.) is updated.

In step S2006, sound control processing is performed. In the sound control process, if there is a command to the sound source IC 418 in the effect data read in step S2005, this command is output to the sound source IC 418.

In step S2007, a lamp control process is performed. In the lamp control process, if there is an instruction to various lamps 420 in the effect data read in step S2005, this instruction is output to the drive circuit 422.

In step S2008, information output processing is performed. In the information output process, if there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 in the effect data read in step S2005, the setting to output this control command is made, and the process returns to step S2002. As a result, the set control command is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500.

Next, the first sub-control unit 400 command input process will be described with reference to FIG. 26 (b). This first sub-control unit 400 command input process is a flowchart showing the flow of the first sub-control unit 400 command input process in step S2004 of FIG. 26 (a).

In step S2101, it is determined whether or not there is an unprocessed command in the command storage area of the RAM 408. If there is an unprocessed command, the process proceeds to step S2102, and if there is no unprocessed command, the first sub-control unit 400 command input process is terminated.

In step S2102, the process jumps to the process corresponding to the unprocessed command. For example, if the unprocessed command is a medal insertion command, the medal insertion processing, if the start lever reception command is the start lever reception processing, if the internal lottery command is the internal lottery processing, the stop button In the case of a reception command, it jumps to the stop button reception processing, in the case of a display judgment command, it jumps to the display judgment processing, and in the case of a game state command, it jumps to the game state control processing.

Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 26 (c). This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output by the main control unit 300. In step S2201 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output by the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

Next, with reference to FIG. 26D, the first sub-control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once every 2 ms in this embodiment), and the timer interrupt process is predetermined with this timer interrupt as an opportunity. Execute in the cycle of.

In step S2301, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S2002 in the first sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 26A, and the data is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S2002, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

In step S2302, the effect random value value update process and the like are performed.

Subsequently, a specific example in the case where the reels 110 to 112 start rotating from the stopped state will be described.

First, a conventional example will be described with reference to FIG. 27.

FIG. 27 shows a conventional state change of the three reels, a change in the detection state of the shading piece provided on each reel in the index sensor, and a change in the operation acceptable state of the stop button corresponding to each reel. It is a timing chart which shows the change of the light emitting mode of the light emitting body built in each stop button.

In the timing chart shown in FIG. 27, the start lever operation, the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel are shown in order from the top. At the top of the timing chart, the symbols indicating the timings (a) to (f) are marked, and below that, the arrow (a), the arrow (i), and the arrow (u) An arrow is shown. The arrow (A) is an arrow indicating the period during which the acceleration control shown in FIG. 11 is being executed. Before the period indicated by the arrow (A), each reel 110-112 was in a stopped state after rotation. The arrow (i) is an arrow indicating the period during which the constant speed control is being executed as shown in FIG. 11, and the arrow (c) is an arrow indicating the period during which the second constant speed control is being executed shown in FIG. be.

The start lever is turned on at the timing of (a), and the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel start rotating all at once. As indicated by the arrow (A), all reels are in the running period of acceleration control. Acceleration control ends at the timing of (b), and as indicated by the arrow (i), all reels are in the period during which the constant speed control is being executed. The first constant speed control ends at the timing of (c), and as indicated by the arrow (c), all reels are in the period during which the second constant speed control is being executed. In this example, neither the light-shielding piece of any reel is detected during the period during which the acceleration control is being executed nor the period during which the first constant speed control is being executed, and during the period during which the second constant speed control is being executed, The light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected at the timing of (d), the light-shielding piece of the middle reel is detected at the timing of (e), and the light-shielding piece of the right reel is detected at the timing of (f). The timing at which the light-shielding piece of each reel is detected varies, and the detection timing differs depending on the position where the reel was stopped before the rotation was started.

Conventionally, during the period during which the second constant speed control shown in FIG. 11 is being executed, the stop buttons are in a state where operations can be accepted all at once at the timing when all the shading pieces are detected. Until then, each stop button cannot be operated even if it is operated, but after the timing (f), any stop button can be operated. The timing chart shown in FIG. 27 shows that the operation of the left stop button can be accepted / disabled, the operation of the middle stop button can be accepted / disabled, and the operation of the right stop button can be accepted / disabled. Even if the operation of the stop button is accepted, the operation may be handled invalidly or effectively in a controlled manner. In short, if it is grasped by the stop of the reel, the operation of the stop button may be performed. Acceptable / unacceptable means that the reel can be stopped / cannot be stopped.

Further below, the light emitting mode of the light emitting body (hereinafter, referred to as "stop button LED") built in each stop button is shown. The first light emitting mode of each stop button LED is, for example, a red light emitting mode, and the second light emitting mode is, for example, a blue light emitting mode. Each of the stop button LEDs has changed to the second light emitting mode after the timing of (f). That is, in the stop button operation acceptable state (reel stop impossible state), each stop button LED is the first light emitting mode, and when the stop button operation acceptable state (reel stop possible state) is entered, any stop is performed. The button LED also changes to the second light emitting mode. In the conventional example shown in FIG. 17, the stop button LED notifies in the first light emitting mode that the stop button operation cannot be accepted (reel stop impossible state), and the stop button operation acceptable state (reel stop possible). The state) is notified by the second light emitting mode.

FIG. 28 shows a change in the state of each reel 110-112, a change in the detection state of each shading piece, a change in the operation acceptable state of each stop button 137 to 139, and each stop button LED 137a to It is a timing chart which shows the change of the light emission mode of 139a. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 27 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 27 will be mainly described.

In the timing chart shown in FIG. 28, when a light-shielding piece of any of the three reels 110-112 is detected, the stop buttons 137 to 139 corresponding to the reel in which the light-shielding piece is detected are operated. Move to the possible state. That is, after the rotation is started, it is possible to shift from the reel stop impossible state to the reel stop possible state for each reel. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 28, the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected first (detected at the timing of (d)), so that the left stop button 137 is the first (at the timing of (d)). ), And then the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is detected (detected at the timing of (e)), so that the middle stop button 138 shifts to the operation acceptable state at the timing of (e). Finally, the light-shielding piece of the right reel 112 is detected (detected at the timing of (f)), so that the right stop button 139 shifts to the operation acceptable state at the timing of (f). However, none of the stop button LEDs 137a to 139a changes from the first light emitting mode to the second light emitting mode unless the timing (timing of (f)) at which all the light-shielding pieces are detected is reached, as in the conventional case. .. That is, it is possible to shift from the reel stop impossible state to the reel stop possible state for each reel, but the stop button LED changes to the second light emitting mode at the timing when the last reel shifts to the reel stop possible state. .. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if the stop button LED is in the first light emitting mode, the corresponding stop button may be in an operation-acceptable state. The arrow (e) shown in FIG. 28 is an arrow indicating a period during which only some of the three stop buttons are in an operation-acceptable state. On the other hand, the arrow (O) is an arrow indicating the period during which all of the three stop buttons 137 to 139 are in an operation-acceptable state.

According to the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, by accepting the stop operation from the reel on which the light-shielding piece is detected and the stop position of the reel can be controlled, the operation of the stop button is accepted earlier than before. Will be able to. Therefore, the game progresses at a good tempo without the player feeling stress. In addition, the player's operation may be immediately responded to, and the sense of presence of the game may be enhanced.

FIG. 29 is a timing chart when a step-out occurs on the rotating right reel in the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be mainly described.

In the timing chart shown in FIG. 29, a step-out occurs on the right reel 112 when no light-shielding piece on any of the reels is detected. That is, while the second constant speed control is being executed for all the reels 110 to 112, step-out occurs only on the right reel 112 (timing of (g)). After the step-out occurs on the right reel 112 and before the step-out is detected in the step-out detection process (step S310n) shown in FIG. 21 (timing of (a')), the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 When it is detected (timing of (d)), the left stop button 137 is in a state where operation can be accepted (the left reel 110 is in a state where it can be stopped). Further, the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is also detected before the step-out is detected (timing of (e)), and the middle stop button 138 is also in an operation acceptable state before the step-out is detected (the middle reel 111 is also in a stoptable state). ). Even if some of the stop buttons are ready for operation (during the period indicated by the arrow in (E)), some of the stop buttons will not be operated, and eventually the right reel 112 will step out at the timing of (a'). Is detected. When the step-out of the right reel 112 is detected, both the left reel 110 and the middle reel 111 continue to rotate at a constant speed, but when the step-out of the right reel 112 is detected, all three reels start over from the acceleration control. become. That is, not only the right reel 112 that has stepped out, but also the remaining two reels (110,111) that have been rotating at a constant speed are reaccelerated. By stepping out and re-accelerating, the positional relationship of the light-shielding pieces on each reel changes, and during the execution of the second constant speed control after re-acceleration, the light-shielding pieces on the right reel 112 are first detected. (Timing of (d')), then the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected (timing of (e)), and finally the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is detected (timing of (f')). Therefore, after the re-acceleration, the order in which the stop buttons are in the operation acceptable state (the order in which the reels are in the stoptable state) is different from that before the re-acceleration. The stop button LEDs 137a to 139a remain in the first light emitting mode before the reacceleration, but change to the second light emitting mode at the timing (f') after the reacceleration.

FIG. 30 is a timing chart when a step-out occurs in the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment and the stop button is operated before reacceleration. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 29 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 29 will be mainly described. In FIG. 30, a left stop button operation, a middle stop button operation, and a right stop button operation are shown at the bottom.

In the timing chart shown in FIG. 30, the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected (timing of (d)) after the step-out occurs on the right reel 112 (timing of (g)), and the left stop button 137 is operated. It will be ready for reception. The left stop button 137 is operated at the timing (h) before the step-out that occurs on the right reel 112 is detected, and the left reel 110 is brake-controlled and stops. In the timing chart of FIG. 30, the reel pull-in control is ignored and the state of the left reel 110 is shown (the same applies to the subsequent timing charts). Before the step-out that occurs on the right reel 112 is detected, the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is also detected (timing of (e)), but the middle stop button 138 is not operated and the middle reel 111 is fixed. Continue to rotate at high speed.

Eventually, the step-out of the right reel 112 is detected at the timing of (a'). At the timing of (a'), the left reel 110 is in the stopped state, the middle reel 111 is in the constant speed rotating state, and the right reel 112 is in the step-out state. When the step-out of the right reel 112 is detected, the acceleration control is restarted except for the stopped reel, that is, only the rotating reel. As a result, the right reel 112 and the middle reel 111 that have stepped out re-accelerate, and the left reel 110 that has stopped earlier maintains the stopped state.

Since the left reel 110 maintains the stopped state even when the re-accelerated right reel 112 and the middle reel 111 shift to constant speed rotation, the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is not detected, and the left stop button 137 is not detected. Will not be ready for operation.

The light-shielding piece of the re-accelerated right reel 112 is detected at the timing of (d'), and the light-shielding piece of the re-accelerated middle reel 111 is detected at the timing of (f'). When the light-shielding pieces of all the rotating reels are detected except for the stop reel, the stop button LED corresponding to the rotating reel changes from the first light emitting mode to the second light emitting mode. In the example shown in FIG. 30, the right stop button LED 139a and the middle stop button LED 138a change to the second light emitting mode at the timing (f') when the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is detected. The left stop button LED 137a remains in the first light emitting mode.

FIG. 31 is a timing chart when a power failure / recovery occurs during execution of the second constant speed control in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be mainly described.

During the execution of the second constant speed control, the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is first detected (timing of (d)), then the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is detected (timing of (e)), and finally. The light-shielding piece of the right reel 112 is detected (timing of (f)). During the period indicated by the arrow (O), all three reels 110 to 112 can be stopped. However, none of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is operated, and power failure occurs when the three reels 110 to 112 continue to rotate at a constant speed. All of the three reels 110 to 112, which had been rotating by inertia until the power was restored, stopped. Eventually, the power is restored at the timing of (a'), all three reels 110 to 112 start acceleration control, and after the first constant speed control, the second constant speed control is being executed. Since each reel stopped due to power interruption, the positional relationship of the light-shielding pieces on each reel changed, and during the execution of the second constant speed control after power recovery, the light-shielding pieces of the middle reel 111 were first detected ( (D')), then the light-shielding piece of the right reel 112 is detected (timing of (e')), and finally the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected (timing of (f')). Therefore, after the power is restored, the order in which the stop buttons are in the operation acceptable state (the order in which the reels are in the stoptable state) is different from that before the power failure.

The example of FIG. 31 described above is an example in which a time elapses such that the reel stops between the time when the power is cut off and the time when the power is restored. When the power is cut off and the power is restored immediately, that is, when the power is restored before the reels are stopped although the rotation speed of the reels is reduced, each reel is subjected to the step-out detection process (step S310n) shown in FIG. 21 after the power is restored. The step-out of 110-112 will be detected, and each reel 110-112 will be re-accelerated when the step-out is detected, as in the right reel 112 described in the example shown in FIG. 29.

The example of power interruption and recovery described with reference to FIG. 31 may occur after the end of the examples shown in the timing charts after FIG. 28, before the start of those examples, or in the middle of those examples.

FIG. 32 is a timing chart when the operation of the stop button is accepted before the stop button LED changes to the second light emitting mode in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be mainly described. Also in FIG. 32, the left stop button operation, the middle stop button operation, and the right stop button operation are shown at the bottom.

During the execution of the second constant speed control, the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected at the timing (d), and the left stop button 137 is in an operation-acceptable state. The left stop button LED 137a remains in the first light emitting mode. The left stop button 137 is operated at the timing (h) before the light-shielding pieces of all reels are detected, and the left reel 110 is brake-controlled and stops. The light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is detected at the timing of (e). At the timing of (f), the light-shielding pieces of the right reel 112 were detected, and the light-shielding pieces of all the reels were detected. Even at the timing of (f), the middle reel 111 continues to rotate at a constant speed. That is, the middle stop button 138 is not operated even if the operation can be accepted at the timing of (e). At the timing of (f), the middle stop button LED 138a and the right stop button LED 139a change to the second light emitting mode, but the left stop button LED 137a remains in the first light emitting mode. As described above, the stop button LED of the reel stopped before changing to the second light emitting mode remains in the first light emitting mode. If the middle stop button 138 is operated between the timing of (e) and the timing of (f), the middle stop button LED 138a remains in the first light emitting mode even at the timing of (f). Therefore, only the right stop button LED 139a changes to the second light emitting mode.

FIG. 33 is a timing chart when the slot machine 100 in the present embodiment detects a light-shielding piece and then stops at the shortest number of frames. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be mainly described. Also in FIG. 33, the left stop button 137, the middle stop button 138, and the right stop button 139 are shown at the bottom.

As the values of the holding parameters in FIG. 11 indicate, 60 interrupts are required for acceleration control, and 128 interrupts are required for constant speed control. Further, in this example, even if the light-shielding piece is detected, the stop button cannot shift to the operation acceptable state unless the state shifts to the second constant speed control state. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 33, the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected at the timing (timing of (b)) when the constant speed control is started. The light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 may be detected during the acceleration control (the period indicated by the arrow (A)). However, the light-shielding piece may not be detected during the acceleration control, and the light-shielding piece may be detected only in the constant speed state (during the first constant speed control or the second constant speed control).

FIG. 34 is a diagram showing a state of the left reel at each timing. Although FIG. 34 shows FIG. 34 (b), the figure (b'), the figure (c'), the figure (c''-1), and the figure (c''-2). In each of the figures, the left reel 110 is shown on the left side, the right reel 112 is shown on the right side, and the middle reel 111 is shown in the center.

In FIG. 34 (b), the left reel 110, the middle reel 111, and the right reel 112 are all rotating, but only the left reel 110 is shown so that the design can be seen (FIG. 34 (b')). And the same in the figure (c')). FIG. 34 (b) shows the left reel 110 at the timing of FIG. 33 (b). That is, in the left reel 110 at the time when the first constant speed control is started (when the shading piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected), the value of the symbol number counter shown in FIG. 4 is displayed in the middle of the symbol display window 113. The 0 BB symbol is located.

The output of 24 drive pulses is required to move one symbol, and in the left reel 110, the symbol with the symbol number counter value of 20 (cherry symbol) and 19 symbols (BB symbol) are displayed in the middle of the symbol display window 113. , 18 symbols (replay symbols), 17 symbols (bell symbols) pass in order. 120 drive pulses from the timing of (b) at the time when the symbol (bell symbol) whose symbol number counter value is 17 has passed through the middle of the symbol display window 113 (timing of (b') shown in FIG. 33). (24 drive pulses x 5 symbols) is output. FIG. 34 (b') shows the left reel 110 at the timing of this (b'), and a watermelon symbol having a symbol number counter value of 16 is located in the middle of the symbol display window 113. doing.

Further, when the 8-drive pulse is output, the control is switched to the second constant speed control. In the time chart shown in FIG. 33, the timing at which the eight drive pulses are output is shown as the timing (c). At the timing of (c), the left stop button 137 shifts to the operation acceptable state due to the start of the second constant speed control. That is, in this example, even if the shading piece is detected first, the stop button will not be in the operation acceptable state unless the second constant speed control is started. However, the condition that the shading piece is detected is the same as the condition for shifting to the operation acceptable state of the stop button, but the stop button can accept the operation if the control state is the constant speed control. It may be made to shift to the state.

Further, in the time chart shown in FIG. 33, the timing at which the second constant speed control is started and the first one drive pulse is output is shown as the timing of (c'). At this timing (c'), the left stop button 137 is operated, the left reel 110 is brake-controlled, and the left reel 110 is stopped.

FIG. 34 (c') shows the left reel 110 at the timing of (c'), and in the middle of the symbol display window 113, there are 9 bar symbols having a symbol number counter value of 15. It is located for 24 frames. The bar symbol is a so-called DDT symbol, and if the stop button is operated with the aim of stopping this bar symbol in the middle stage, a small role will not be missed. The bar symbol may be referred to as a specific symbol or a certain symbol.

34 (c ″ -1) and FIG. 34 (c ″ -2) are diagrams showing a stop symbol mode of the left reel 110 stopped at the timing of (c ′). When the small winning combination of the watermelon shown in FIG. 4 (b) is internally won, the bar symbol stops at the middle stage of the symbol display window 113 as shown in FIG. 34 (c''-1), and the watermelon symbol is displayed. Stops at the bottom. On the other hand, when the small winning combination of the cherry shown in FIG. 4 (b) is internally won, the bar symbol is stopped at the middle stage of the symbol display window 113 as shown in FIG. 34 (c''-2). Instead, pull-in control is performed, and the cherry symbol stops at the upper stage after sliding two frames.

FIG. 35 is a timing chart when the effect device is used to produce an effect on the reel in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be mainly described. In FIG. 35, the effect device is shown at the bottom. This effect device is, for example, an effect image display device 157 (liquid crystal display device).

The first effect in the effect device is started when the start lever 135 is operated. Alternatively, it is started when all the reels 110 to 112 start rotating. Alternatively, it is started when the acceleration control of all reels 110 to 112 is started. As will be described later, the reels may be subjected to random delay processing for delaying the rotation start timing for each reel, and it is not always the case that all the reels 110 to 112 are aligned to start rotation or are in acceleration control. No. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 35, the operation timing of the start lever 135, the rotation start timing of all reels 110 to 112, and the start timing of acceleration control for all reels 110 to 112 match, and the timing of (a) Is. The first effect in the effect device starts from the timing (a).

FIG. 36 is a diagram showing an example of the first effect in the effect device.

In each figure of FIG. 36, an effect image display device 157, which is an example of the effect device, is shown at the top, and a left reel 110, a middle reel, 111, and a right reel 112 are shown below the effect image display device 157. .. Further, below each reel, stop buttons 137 to 139 corresponding to each reel are shown. Each stop button 137 to 139 has a built-in stop button LEDs 137a to 139a.

FIG. 36A shown on the left side is a diagram showing an example in which a small role suggestion effect is executed as the first effect in the effect image display device 157. On the other hand, FIG. 36B shown on the right side is a diagram showing an example in which the navigation effect is executed as the first effect in the effect image display device 157.

First, the small role suggestion production will be described. FIG. 36A shows the effect image display device 157 and the like at the timing (a) shown in FIG. 35 (start timing of the first effect). The watermelon pattern is displayed on the effect image display device 157 shown in (a1), suggesting that the small winning combination of the watermelon shown in FIG. 4 (b) is internally elected. Further, all of the three reels 110 to 112 shown in (a1) have started to rotate. Further, it is shown that the stop button LEDs 137a to 139a emit light in the first light emitting mode through the stop buttons 137 to 139.

(D1) in FIG. 36 (A) shows the timing of (d) shown in FIG. 35 (the timing at which the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected, and the timing at which the left stop button 137 is ready for operation. ), The effect image display device 157 and the like are shown. Even in the effect image display device 157 shown in (d1), the small role suggestion effect continues, and the watermelon pattern is displayed. Further, all of the three reels 110 to 112 shown in (d1) continue to rotate by the second constant speed control. Further, it is shown that the stop button LEDs 137a to 139a emit light in the first light emitting mode through the stop buttons 137 to 139. That is, it is shown that the stop button LED 137a built in the left stop button 137 in the operation acceptable state also emits light in the first light emitting mode like the other stop button LEDs 138a and 139a.

In (f1) in FIG. 36 (A), the effect at the timing (f) shown in FIG. 35 (the timing at which the light-shielding pieces of the right reel 112 are detected and the timing at which the light-shielding pieces of all reels are detected) is shown. An image display device 157 and the like are shown. Even in the effect image display device 157 shown in (f1), the small role suggestion effect continues, and the watermelon pattern is displayed. Further, all of the three reels 110 to 112 shown in (f1) continue to rotate by the second constant speed control. Further, it is shown that the stop button LEDs 137a to 139a change to the second light emitting mode and emit light through each of the stop buttons 137 to 139.

In the small role suggestion effect, the watermelon symbol may be continuously displayed, or the watermelon symbol may be repeatedly displayed and hidden.

Next, the navigation effect will be described. The navigation effect is an effect of instructing the order of stop operations of the stop button for winning a certain winning combination. In FIG. 36B, (a2) shows the effect image display device 157 and the like at the timing (a) shown in FIG. 35 (start timing of the first effect). In the effect image display device 157 shown in (a2), a number indicating the order of stop operations is displayed at a position directly above each reel 110-112. That is, 3 is displayed on the left reel 110, 2 is displayed on the middle reel 111, and 1 is displayed on the right reel 112. Further, all of the three reels 110 to 112 shown in (a2) have started to rotate. Further, it is shown that the stop button LEDs 137a to 139a emit light in the first light emitting mode through the stop buttons 137 to 139.

(D2) in FIG. 36 (B) shows the timing of (d) shown in FIG. 35 (the timing at which the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected, and the timing at which the left stop button 137 is ready for operation. ), The effect image display device 157 and the like are shown. The effect image display device 157 shown in (d2) also continues the navigation effect, and a number indicating the order of the stop operations is displayed. Further, all of the three reels 110 to 112 shown in (d2) continue to rotate by the second constant speed control. Further, it is shown that the stop button LEDs 137a to 139a emit light in the first light emitting mode through the stop buttons 137 to 139. That is, it is shown that the stop button LED 137a built in the left stop button 137 in the operation acceptable state also emits light in the first light emitting mode like the other stop button LEDs 138a and 139a.

In (f2) in FIG. 36 (B), the effect at the timing (f) shown in FIG. 35 (the timing at which the light-shielding pieces of the right reel 112 are detected and the timing at which the light-shielding pieces of all reels are detected) is shown. An image display device 157 and the like are shown. The effect image display device 157 shown in (f2) also continues the navigation effect, and a number indicating the order of the stop operations is displayed. Further, all of the three reels 110 to 112 shown in (f2) continue to rotate by the second constant speed control. Further, it is shown that the stop button LEDs 137a to 139a change to the second light emitting mode and emit light through each of the stop buttons 137 to 139.

In the navigation effect in FIG. 36B described above, the order of the stop operations different from the order in which the light-shielding pieces of the reel are detected is displayed. However, there are cases where the order in which the light-shielding pieces on the reel are detected coincides with the order in which the stop operation is instructed by the navigation effect.

In the navigation effect, the numbers indicating the order of the stop operations may be continuously displayed, or the numbers may be repeatedly displayed and hidden.

FIG. 37 is a timing chart when the slide push operation is performed on the three stop buttons 137 to 139 in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, but only a part of the operations is accepted. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be mainly described. FIG. 37 shows a left stop button operation, a middle stop button operation, and a right stop button operation at the bottom.

The slide push operation is to operate a plurality of stop buttons 137 to 139 in a short time. In the example of FIG. 37, after the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected during the execution of the second constant speed control (timing of (d)) and the left stop button 137 is ready for operation, (h1). The slide push operation is performed on the three stop buttons 137 to 139 from the timing of. That is, the left stop button 137 is first operated, and then the middle stop button 138 and the right stop button 139 are continuously operated (forwardly pressed) so as to be traced in a short time. At the time when the slide push is performed, neither the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 nor the light-shielding piece of the right reel 112 is detected, and neither the middle stop button 138 nor the right stop button 139 remains in an operation unacceptable state. Therefore, only the operation of the left stop button 137 in the slide push operation is accepted, and the operation of the remaining middle stop button 138 and the right stop button 139 is not accepted. Therefore, the left reel 110 is stopped by executing the brake control, but the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 continue to rotate at a constant speed. Eventually, the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is detected (timing of (e)), and finally, the light-shielding piece of the right reel 112 is also detected (timing of (f)), but the middle stop button 138 in the slide push operation. And the operation of the right stop button 139 remain invalid, and in order to stop the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112, the operation of the middle stop button 138 and the operation of the right stop button 139 are required again. As described above, the arrow (e) is an arrow indicating the period during which only some of the three stop buttons are in the operation acceptable state. Further, at the timing of (f), the middle stop button LED 138a and the right stop button LED 139a change to the second light emitting mode, but the left stop button LED 137a having already stopped the reel remains in the first light emitting mode.

With the middle stop button LED 138a and the right stop button LED 139a emitting light in the second light emission mode (the period indicated by the arrow in (E)), slide push for the two stop buttons of the middle stop button 138 and the right stop button 139. Perform the operation. That is, the middle stop button 138 is operated at the timing of (h2), and the right stop button 139 is operated at the timing of (h3). Brake control is executed on both the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 to stop.

After each of the three reels 110 to 112 is stopped after the brake control is executed, the start lever 135 is operated again, and each of the three reels 110 to 112 starts rotating (the ting of (a')). That is, the next game is started. Also in this next game, after the first constant speed control is executed, the second constant speed control is started (timing of (c')). While the second constant speed control is being executed, the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected (timing of (d')), and the left stop button 137 is ready for operation. Next, the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is also detected (timing of (e')), and the middle stop button 138 is also ready for operation. Finally, the light-shielding piece of the right reel 112 is also detected (timing of (f')), and the right stop button 139 is also ready for operation. Further, since all the shading pieces of the three reels 110 to 112 are detected while none of the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated, the stop button LEDs 137a to 139a built in each stop button are in the second light emitting mode. Changes to. The first stop button LED 137a remained in the first light emitting mode in the previous game, but changes to the second light emitting mode in the current game.

FIG. 38 is a timing chart when all the slide push operations performed on the three stop buttons 137 to 139 are accepted in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 37 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 37 will be mainly described.

In the timing chart shown in FIG. 38, the slide push operation is performed after all the shading pieces of the three reels 110 to 112 are detected. Therefore, in a state where all three stop buttons 137 to 139 are ready for operation and all three stop button LEDs 137a to 139a are emitting light in the second light emitting mode (the period indicated by the arrow (O)). The slide push operation is started. Here, too, the operations are continuously performed from the left stop button 137 in the order of pressing forward in a short time, and the operation timings of the respective stop buttons 137 to 139 ((h), (h'), (h'')). Brake control is executed for the corresponding reel, the corresponding reel is stopped, and the built-in stop button LED returns to the first light emitting mode. The execution periods of brake control for each reel may overlap.

FIG. 39 is a timing chart when the main game is performed after the pseudo game is performed in the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be mainly described. FIG. 39 also shows a left stop button operation, a middle stop button operation, and a right stop button operation at the bottom.

The pseudo game is a kind of reel effect (the second reel effect described above), and is an effect that makes the reel corresponding to the operated stop button appear to be stopped by operating the stop button as in the main game. .. In this game, after the reels are completely stopped, medals are given according to the derived stop mode, but in the pseudo game, medals are not given according to the derived stop mode.

In the simulated game, the reels 110 to 112 start rotating by operating the start lever 135, and acceleration control, constant speed control, and second constant speed control are executed. Further, the light-shielding pieces of each reel 110-112 are detected in the order of the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110, the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111, and the light-shielding piece of the right reel 112, and the stop button corresponding to the reel in which the light-shielding piece is detected is detected. 137 to 139 are ready to accept operations. Then, only when the light-shielding pieces of all the reels 110 to 112 are detected, the three stop button lamps 137a to 139a change to the second light emitting mode. Therefore, even if the pseudo game is started, there is no difference from the main game, and the player cannot distinguish between the pseudo game and the main game. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 39, after the three stop button lamps 137a to 139a are changed to the second light emitting mode, a slide push is performed from the left stop button 137, and the operation timing of each stop button 137 to 139 ((h)). , (H'), (h'') timing), the corresponding reel starts the brake control, and the built-in stop button LED returns to the first light emitting mode. In the simulated game, the stop control is not executed, and instead, the vibration control that slightly vibrates the reel is performed. Vibration control is performed for a few seconds in order to show the design firmly to the player. In the pseudo game, it is possible to pull in more than the maximum number of pull-in symbols. For example, in the BB internal winning state, the BB symbol alignment (“7-7-7”) is vibrated and displayed (shaking display). In addition, if the small winning combination is internally won, the bar pattern alignment is vibrated and displayed. The player notices from the vibration display that the previous game was a pseudo game.

When the vibration display is performed for about several seconds, the pseudo game ends and the main game starts. This game is started without operating the start lever 135. When the BB symbol alignment ("7-7-7") is vibrated and displayed in the simulated game, if the reels 110 to 112 start rotating at the same time, the reel 110 keeps the positional relationship in which the BB symbols are arranged side by side. ~ 112 will rotate. In such a positional relationship, the BB symbols of all the reels 110 to 112 appear in the symbol display window 113 at the same timing, so that a skilled person who is good at aiming at the symbols can easily aim at the BB symbol. For this reason, it becomes impossible to guarantee the fairness of the game with beginners who are not good at aiming at symbols. In addition, since it becomes easy to aim at the symbol, the interest of the game is diminished for the player who is looking forward to the stop operation aiming at the symbol. Therefore, random delay control is performed to randomly delay the rotation start time of the reels between the reels, and the positional relationship in which the BB symbols are arranged side by side is broken. The main game was started at the timing of (i), but none of the reels 110 to 112 started to rotate. First, after n1 (n1 ≧ 0) interruptions were made from the start of the main game (first time). After a lapse of time), the right reel 112 starts rotating. Then, after n2 interrupts (n2> n1) from the start of this game (after the lapse of the second time), the middle reel 111 starts rotating. Finally, after n3 interrupts (n3> n2) from the start of this game (after the lapse of the third time), the left reel 110 starts rotating. When each reel 110-112 starts rotating, acceleration control is executed for 60 interrupts, but the execution period is different. The arrow (A) shown in this game indicates the period from the start of the acceleration control on the first right reel 112 to the acceleration control on the last left reel 110 or the end. Next, in each reel, when the acceleration control is completed, the first constant speed control is started. The arrow (i) shown in this game indicates the period from the start of the first constant speed control on the right reel 112 to the end of the constant speed control on the last left reel 110. It represents. Subsequently, in each reel, when the first constant speed control is completed, the second constant speed control is started. The period during which the second constant speed control is performed on the reels 110 to 112 in this game is indicated by the arrow (c). Before the last left reel 110 finishes the first constant speed control, the first right reel 112 starts the second constant speed control. Due to the pseudo game and the random delay processing, the positional relationship of the shading pieces on each reel changes, and during the execution of the second constant speed control in this game, the shading pieces on the right reel 112 are first detected. (Timing of (f')), then the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is detected (timing of (e')), and finally the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected (timing of (d')). Therefore, the order in which the stop buttons are in the operation acceptable state (the order in which the reels are in the stoptable state) is different between the main game and the pseudo game. Also in this game, the three stop button lamps 137a to 139a change to the second light emitting mode only when all the light-shielding pieces of the reels 110 to 112 are detected (timing of (d')).

FIG. 40 is a timing chart when the game is performed after the reel action is performed in the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 40 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 40 will be mainly described.

The reel action is a kind of reel effect (the above-mentioned first reel effect), and unlike the main game, it is an effect that makes the reel appear to have stopped without operating the stop button. As with the simulated game, the reel action does not give medals.

Also in the reel action, by operating the start lever 135, each reel 110-112 starts rotating, and acceleration control, first constant speed control, and second constant speed control are executed. Further, the light-shielding pieces of the reels 110 to 112 are detected in the order of the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110, the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111, and the light-shielding piece of the right reel 112. However, even if the shading piece is detected, the stop buttons 137 to 139 are not in the operation acceptable state and remain in the operation acceptable state. Further, even if the light-shielding pieces of all the reels 110 to 112 are detected, the three stop button lamps 137a to 139a remain in the first light emitting mode. Eventually, each reel 110-112 automatically starts brake control without operating the stop buttons 137 to 139. Even in this reel action, the stop control is not executed, and instead, the vibration control that slightly vibrates the reel is performed. Vibration control is performed for a few seconds in order to show the design firmly to the player. For example, in the BB internal winning state, the BB symbol alignment (“7-7-7”) is vibrated and displayed (shaking display). In addition, if the small winning combination is internally won, the bar pattern alignment is vibrated and displayed.

When the vibration display is performed for about several seconds, the reel action ends and the main game starts. This game is the same as the main game described with reference to FIG. 39, and random delay control is performed to execute acceleration control, first constant speed control, and second constant speed control. Due to the reel action and random delay processing, the positional relationship of the shading pieces on each reel changes, and during the execution of the second constant speed control in this game, the shading pieces on the right reel 112 are first detected. (Timing of (f')), then the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is detected (timing of (e')), and finally the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected (timing of (d')). Therefore, the order of the reels on which the shading pieces are detected may differ between this game and the reel action. However, in the reel action, it is not necessary to operate the stop button, so even if the order is different, the influence on the player is small.

Next, simultaneous pressing will be described. Simultaneous pressing here means that all the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated at the same time or almost at the same time. For example, when the time required from the operation of the first stop button to the operation of the last stop button is within a predetermined time (for example, 100 ms), it is determined to be "simultaneous press". The above-mentioned predetermined time is set in consideration of the average time required for continuous operation of all the stop buttons 137 to 139, and can be arbitrarily changed within a time range judged to be a relatively quick stop operation. Is.

In order to win a prize for a specific symbol combination when pressed at the same time, a prize is won if the symbols of the reels constituting the specific symbol combination are not close to each other within a range of up to 4 symbols. Can't.

FIG. 41 is a diagram showing the relative positional relationship of the symbols constituting the specific symbol combination with reference to the symbol display window 113.

FIG. 41 (a) is a diagram showing an example in which the replay is internally won in the BB internal winning state and the symbol combination of “replay-replay-replay” is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. In FIG. 41 (a), the replay symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 are a replay symbol having a symbol number counter value of 2 on the left reel 110 and a replay symbol having a symbol number counter value of 1 on the middle reel 111. And, the value of the symbol number counter on the right reel 112 is 14 replay symbols. In the case of this stop symbol mode, the BB symbol is located in the second frame from the replay symbol on the left reel 110, is located in the second frame from the replay symbol on the middle reel 111, and is located in the second frame from the replay symbol on the right reel 112. It is located in the first frame. Therefore, the replay symbol alignment state shown in FIG. 41 (a) is a state in which the symbols (here, BB symbols) constituting a specific symbol combination are close to each other, and this state is prepared below. It is called eye condition. It is possible to easily win a specific symbol combination by ending the game in the preparatory state and simultaneously pressing the games in the next game. That is, the prepared stitch state means a state in which the symbols of the reels constituting the specific symbol combination are within a certain range. In FIG. 41 (a), if the simultaneous pressing is performed in the next game, it is possible to stop and display the BB symbol alignment on the winning line L1 or on any of the other winning lines L2 to 5 shown in FIG. Is.

FIG. 41 (b) is a diagram showing an example in which the bell is internally won in the BB internal winning state and the symbol combination of “bell-bell-bell” is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. In FIG. 41 (b), the bell symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 are a bell symbol having a symbol number counter value of 1 on the left reel 110 and a bell symbol having a symbol number counter value of 19 on the middle reel 111. And, the value of the symbol number counter on the right reel 112 is 15 bell symbols. In the case of this stop symbol mode, the BB symbol of the left reel 110 is located in the second and fourth frames from the BB symbol of the middle reel 111, and the BB symbol of the right reel 112 is three frames from the BB symbol of the middle reel 111. Located in the eyes. Therefore, the state of the bell symbol alignment shown in FIG. 41 (b) is also the preparatory eye state, and the game is ended in this preparatory eye state, and the BB symbol alignment is stopped and displayed by simultaneously pressing in the next game. Is possible.

In this example, the configuration to be in the preparatory state is the configuration of the replay symbol of the specific value of the symbol number counter and the configuration of the bell symbol of the specific value of the symbol number counter, but the specific value of the symbol number counter. It may be the configuration of the watermelon symbol of the above, the configuration of the cherry symbol of the specific value of the symbol number counter, or the configuration of the lost symbol of the specific value of the symbol number counter.

Further, the symbol combination having the configuration of being in the prepared eye state does not need to be displayed in the symbol display window 113, and the relative positional relationship of the symbols (BB symbols) constituting the specific symbol combination is shown in FIG. 41 (a). And the relative positional relationship shown in FIG.

In addition, when the preparation eye state is reached in the BB internal winning state, the effect image display device 157, the speaker 272, 277, or the like may be notified that the preparation eye state is reached.

FIG. 42 is a timing chart in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment when three stop buttons 137 to 139 are simultaneously pressed, but only a part of the operations is accepted. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 28 will be mainly described. FIG. 42 shows a left stop button operation, a middle stop button operation, and a right stop button operation at the bottom.

In the example of FIG. 42, after the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected during the execution of the second constant speed control (timing of (d)) and the left stop button 137 is ready for operation, (h) From the timing of, the operation of simultaneously pressing the three stop buttons 137 to 139 is performed. At the time of simultaneous pressing, neither the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 nor the light-shielding piece of the right reel 112 is detected, and neither the middle stop button 138 nor the right stop button 139 remains in an operation unacceptable state. Therefore, only the operation of the left stop button 137 in the simultaneous pressing operation is accepted, and the operation of the remaining middle stop button 138 and the right stop button 139 is not accepted. Therefore, the left reel 110 stops at the timing (h), but the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 continue to rotate at a constant speed. Eventually, the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is detected (timing of (e)), and finally, the light-shielding piece of the right reel 112 is also detected (timing of (f)). And the operation of the right stop button 139 remain invalid, and in order to stop the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112, the operation of the middle stop button 138 and the operation of the right stop button 139 are required again. At the timing of (f), the middle stop button LED 138a and the right stop button LED 139a change to the second light emitting mode, but the left stop button LED 137a, which has already stopped the reel, remains in the first light emitting mode.

FIG. 43 is a timing chart when all the simultaneous pressing operations performed on the three stop buttons 137 to 139 are accepted in the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 42 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 42 will be mainly described.

In the timing chart shown in FIG. 43, the simultaneous pressing operation is performed after all the shading pieces of the three reels 110 to 112 are detected. Therefore, in a state where all three stop buttons 137 to 139 are ready for operation and all three stop button LEDs 137a to 139a are emitting light in the second light emitting mode (the period indicated by the arrow (O)). The simultaneous pressing operation is performed (timing of (h)). In response to the simultaneous pressing operation, brake control is performed on each of the three reels 110 to 112, and the three reels 110 to 112 are stopped at the same time. That is, at least a part of the period during which the brake control is performed for each reel 110 to 112 overlaps with each other. In addition, the entire period may overlap. Further, the stop button LEDs 137a to 139a incorporated in each of the three stop buttons 137 to 139 return to the first light emitting mode at the same time. In addition, it stops at the same time. Strictly speaking, it seems that they stopped at the same time. And return at the same time. To see less, it looks like they're back at the same time. Is.

FIG. 44 is a timing chart when simultaneous pressing is performed during the simulated game in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the explanation of the timing chart shown in FIG. 39 will be omitted, and the differences from the timing chart shown in FIG. 39 will be mainly described.

In the timing chart shown in FIG. 44, after the three stop button lamps 137a to 139a are changed to the second light emitting mode, the three stop buttons 137 to 139 are simultaneously pressed, and the three reels 110 to 112 are operated. Pretends to be simultaneous in timing and stopped in state. That is, the vibration display is started almost at the same time. For example, in the BB internal winning state, the BB symbol alignment (“7-7-7”) is vibrated and displayed (shaking display). That is, here, a pseudo game (simultaneous reel production) is performed in which three rotating reels 110 to 112 are used as an effect to make the three rotating reels 110 to 112 appear to have stopped at the same time by the operation of simultaneous pressing.

When the vibration display is performed for about several seconds, the pseudo game ends and the main game starts. In this game, random delay control is performed, and acceleration control, first constant speed control, and second constant speed control are executed. In this game as well, even if the three stop buttons 137 to 139 are pressed at the same time, the random delay processing is performed, so that the BB symbol alignment ("7-7-7") is stopped and displayed. Is extremely unlikely to be possible. During the execution of the second constant speed control in this game, the light-shielding piece of the right reel 112 is first detected (timing of (f')), and then the light-shielding piece of the middle reel 111 is detected ((e'). ), Finally, the light-shielding piece 612D of the left reel 110 is detected (timing of (d')), and the order of the reels in which the light-shielding piece is detected is different between the pseudo game and the main game.

Further, in the present embodiment, the embodiment is related to the game of the slot machine 100, but the present invention is not limited to the slot machine, and can be applied to other game machines such as pachinko.

According to this game table, by accepting the stop operation from the prepared reel, the operation of the stop operation means can be accepted earlier than before. Therefore, the game progresses at a good tempo without the player feeling stress. In addition, the player's operation may be immediately responded to, and the sense of presence of the game may be enhanced. These effects are also common to the game consoles described below, and may be referred to as the first common effect below.

The unstoppable state may be a state in which the operation of the stop operation means provided corresponding to the reel is not accepted, or the operation is accepted but the operation is treated as an effective operation. It may be in a state where it cannot be done (the same applies to the following). On the other hand, the stoptable state means a state in which the operation of the stop operation means provided corresponding to the reel is accepted and the operation is treated as an effective operation (the same shall apply hereinafter).

May be a means capable of transitioning to a controllable state (the same shall apply hereinafter).

again,
"The unstoppable state is a state in which the stop position of the reel cannot be controlled.
The stoptable state is a state in which the stop position of the reel can be controlled in the constant speed state [for example, when a light-shielding piece is detected, it is determined that the reel has rotated once, and the rotation position information of the reel is set to zero. It will be possible to reset and calculate the stop position of the reel].

In some cases, the second reel may shift from the unstoppable state to the stoptable state before the first reel [for example, (d) shown in FIG. 31. ') Timing] (the same applies below).

Further, the stop operation means is a means including a first stop operation means [for example, left stop button 137] and a second stop operation means [for example, middle stop button 138], and the first stop operation means. The means [for example, the left stop button 137] is a means for stopping the rotating first reel by operating the first reel [for example, the left reel 110] in a stoptable state. The second stop operation means [for example, the middle stop button 138] is operated so that the second reel [for example, the middle reel 111] can be stopped, so that the second reel that is rotating can be moved. It may be a means of stopping (the same shall apply hereinafter).
