The game control board 40 includes the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, the settlement switch 10, the reset switch 23, the inserted medal sensors 31a to 31c, the reel sensors 33L, 33C, and 33R, and the payout sensor. 34c, a full tank sensor 35a, a setting key switch 37, and a reset/setting switch 38 are connected, and detection signals of these connected switches are input. In addition, the game control board 40 includes the aforementioned credit display 11, game auxiliary display 12, 1 to 3 BET LEDs 14 to 16, input request LED 17, start valid LED 18, wait LED 19, replay LED 20, BET switch valid LED 21, left , middle and right stop effective LEDs 22L, 22C, 22R, set value indicator 24, advantageous section LED 25, flow path switching solenoid 30, reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R, hopper motor 34b are connected, and these electric parts are It is designed to be driven based on the control of the main control section 41 mounted on the game control board 40 .

The game control board 40 is equipped with a main control section 41 which is composed of a microcomputer having a main CPU 41a, a ROM 41b, a RAM 41c, and an I/O port 41d, and which performs game control.

The main CPU 41a has a plurality of registers used for performing various calculations. The plurality of registers include an accumulator register (A register), a flag register (F register), general-purpose registers (B register, C register, D register, E register, H register, L register), index registers (IX register, IY registers), interrupt registers, refresh registers, and program counters. The main CPU 41a executes various instructions included in the program, such as calculation instructions and readout instructions, to update the values of predetermined registers and store data in the RAM 41c specified by the values (addresses) of predetermined registers. It is possible to update the values (data) stored in the area.

Among the registers, the flag register is configured so that its state changes so as to indicate the operation result of the instruction executed by the main CPU 41a. The main CPU 41a can be made to perform processing according to the calculation result of .

The main control unit 41 performs various controls for advancing the game in response to detection of an operation associated with the progress of the game, and transmits various commands to the sub-control unit 91 . A command sent from the main control section 41 to the sub-control section 91 is sent only in one direction, and no command is sent from the sub-control section 91 to the main control section 41 .

On the effect control board 90, the above-mentioned liquid crystal display 51, CZ lamp 57, AT lamp 58 (see FIG. 1), speakers capable of outputting sound, and predetermined positions of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R can be illuminated from the back side. Production devices such as reels (not shown) are connected, and the output states of these production devices can be controlled by a sub-control section 91 mounted on a production control board 90 . The sub-control section 91 receives commands transmitted from the main control section 41 and performs various controls for effecting.

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment has a configuration in which the payout rate of medals changes according to the set value. More specifically, the payout rate of medals is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in a lottery such as an internal lottery that affects the degree of advantage for a player. The set value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate, and 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 decreasing the value in order, lowering the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the degree of advantage for the player is the highest, and as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the degree of advantage decreases stepwise.

In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after turning on the setting key switch 37 . When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset/setting switch 38. Transition to the modified state. When the reset/setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when the operation is further performed from the setting value 6, the setting value is changed to 1). return). Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the displayed value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (set value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control section 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

The setting key switch 37 and the reset/setting switch 38 are provided inside the slot machine 1 and cannot be operated unless the front door 1b that can be opened by operating a predetermined key is opened. Only the clerk who has the key can operate it. In particular, since the setting key switch 37 requires further key operation, it can be operated only by a store clerk who possesses a key for operating the setting key switch 37 among staff members of the amusement arcade. Further, the reset switch 23 does not need to open the front door 1b, but requires key operation using a predetermined key, so that it can be operated only by a store clerk who has a predetermined key. Also, the reset/setting switch 38 normally functions as a reset switch for canceling the error state.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined, and the game is performed on the condition that the prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state is set. can be started. In this embodiment, the winning line LN is activated at the time when the specified number of bets corresponding to the gaming state is set.

A winning line is a line set for determining whether a combination of symbols displayed in the see-through windows 3 of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is a combination of winning symbols. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, only the winning line LN set across the symbols horizontally aligned in the middle of the reel 2L, the middle of the reel 2C, and the middle of the reel 2R wins. defined as a line. Although only one pay line is applied in this embodiment, a plurality of pay lines may be applied.

In this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, the activated pay line (in this embodiment, the pay line LN is always activated. A winning line LN is simply called a winning line). The combination may be a combination of the same symbols, or may be a combination including different symbols.

In addition, in this embodiment, invalid lines LM1 to 4 (LM1 are left, middle, and right reels) are provided separately from the pay line LN in order to make it easier to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting the win is complete. LM2 is the line across the middle of the left, middle and right reels, LM3 is the line across the bottom of the left, middle and right reels, and LM4 is the bottom of the left reel and the middle of the middle reel. , which is the upper row of the right reel). Winning of invalid lines LM1-LM4 is not determined by a combination of symbols arranged on these invalid lines LM1-LM4. By setting a combination of symbols (for example, Bell-Bell-Bell) as an index to one of LM1 to LM4, it is recognized that a combination of symbols constituting a specific winning line has been arranged on the winning line LN. It makes it easier.

When a game is played on the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, first, medals are inserted from the medal insertion portion 4 or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set the bet amount using credits. When the prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state is set, the winning line LN (see FIG. 1) becomes effective, and the operation of the start switch 7 becomes effective, that is, the game can be started. Become. When the maximum number of medals among the specified number corresponding to the game state is exceeded, the amount is added to the credits.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are rotated and the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are continuously varied. When one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated while the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotating, the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R are controlled to stop, and the rotation of the reels is stopped. The game is stopped, and the symbols on the relevant reel are derived and displayed on the see-through window 3 as a display result.

In the stop control, the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R corresponding to the operation is stopped within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds) in this embodiment) from when each stop switch is operated. is done. The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated 80 times per minute, and 80 (rotations) x 21 (the number of symbol frames per reel, for example, 21 frames) = 1680 symbols are changed, so the predetermined maximum Until the stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, a maximum of 4 frames worth of symbols can be drawn. In other words, in the stop control, the pattern displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the pattern displayed up to four frames ahead, a total of 5 frames (withdrawal range) are displayed. can be selected and led out to the reels 2L, 2R, and 2R.

As a result, in the stop control, when stopping the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R by operating the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, a winning combination won in an internal lottery, which will be described later, is selected. If the constituent symbols are within the pull-in range of up to 4 frames ahead from the symbol when the stop switch is operated, the relevant symbol is pulled onto the pay line LN, and the rotation of the reel whose stop switch is operated is stopped. On the other hand, when the symbols constituting the winning combination won by the internal lottery are not within the withdrawal range, the symbols constituting the winning combination not won by the internal lottery are displayed on the winning line LN. In order not to stop upward, it is possible to draw a pattern that does not constitute any winning combination onto the winning line LN, and to stop the rotation of the reel for which the stop switch is operated.

When all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, one game is finished, and a combination of predetermined symbols (hereinafter also referred to as a combination) is displayed on each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R on the winning line LN. When the game stops as a result, winning occurs, and a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player according to the winning and added to credits. Also, when the number of credits reaches the upper limit (50 in this embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout port 9 (see FIG. 1). Further, when a combination of symbols accompanied by a transition of the game state on the pay line LN stops as a result of the display of the respective reels 2L, 2C and 2R, the game state is shifted to a game state corresponding to the combination of symbols. .

In this embodiment, the game starts when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected while the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, and the game ends when all the reels are stopped. In addition, one unit of control (game control) for executing the game is started when all the control associated with the end of the previous game is completed, and when all the control associated with the end of the game is completed finish.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the types of wins are determined according to the gaming state, and the next game can be started without needing to set the bet amount, or a small win accompanied by the payout of medals. There is a replay combination that becomes a special combination, and a special combination that involves a transition to a game state (special state) that is advantageous to the player. In the following, the small combination and the replay combination are collectively referred to as a general combination. In order to generate a prize for each combination determined according to the game state, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag for the combination. In the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to allow the winning of each combination before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, the start switch 7 is detected using random numbers.

Of the win flags for each role, the win flags for minor wins and replay wins are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game. The flag is valid until the combination of roles allowed by the flag is completed, and is invalid in the game in which the combination of allowed roles is completed. That is, once the winning flag of the special role is won, even if the combination of roles allowed by the flag cannot be arranged, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It has become.

In addition, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, the order of stop operation, the operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. A winning combination and a replaying combination (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a navigable combination) can be won. The navigable role may be, for example, a role in which the stop mode is more advantageous than the stop mode in which the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode, rather than the stop mode in which the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. , and a winning combination in which, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode, the rate of stopping in an advantageous stop mode is higher than in the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. In addition, the advantageous stop mode includes not only the stop mode accompanied by awarding of medals, but also the stop mode accompanied by a transition to an advantageous game state, a stop mode in which a transition to a disadvantageous game state is avoided, and the like.

The main control unit 41 executes navigation information that can identify the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that is advantageous to the player according to the result of the internal lottery, by the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. It is possible to control the assist time (AT), which is a possible notification period. When the right to be controlled by the AT is granted to the player, the main control unit 41 starts controlling the AT and controls the AT. Then, when the AT is controlled, by winning the navigation target role, the navigation notification is executed, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (for example, pressing order, operation timing, etc.) are notified using the game auxiliary display device 12, and a command capable of specifying an operation mode that is advantageous to the player is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, whereby the operation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display. 51 or the like is used to execute a navigation effect. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in an operation mode notified by navigation notification and navigation performance, it is possible to ensure that the pushing order winning combination in the internal lottery wins. Further, during the period in which the AT is controlled, the advantageous section LED 25 is turned on during the period to indicate that the AT is being controlled.

[About winning roles]
Next, a winning combination in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, among the winning combinations, the special combination includes BB. Among the winning roles, the small roles include middle cherry, rising right cherry, lower cherry, upper watermelon, middle bell, right falling bell, upper bell 1, upper bell 2, upper bell 3, upper bell 4, and upper bell 5. , the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, the upper bell 8, the 1-card combination 1, and the 1-card combination 2 are included. In addition, among the winning combinations, the replaying combination includes normal replay, control replay 1, control replay 2, control replay 3, falling replay 1, falling replay 2, promotion replay, cherry replay, and falling right replay. .

Each winning combination is won when a predetermined combination of symbols (see FIGS. 4 and 5) stops on the winning lines LN of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and a special combination among the winning combinations wins. , a predetermined number of medals (see FIG. 4) are paid out by winning a minor combination among the winning combinations, and a replay is performed by winning a replay combination among the winning combinations. Granted. Further, when a predetermined replay combination among the replay combinations wins in a predetermined replay combination, the game state is shifted to a predetermined game state (see FIG. 5).

[Regarding game state transitions and overview of each game state]
Next, the transition of the game states (RT0 to RT4, BB) controlled by the main control unit 41 and an outline of each game state will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the slot machine 1, RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4 (inside middle), and BB (big bonus) are provided as game states that can be controlled. RT1 and RT3 are game states in which the winning probability of replay is higher than RT0, RT2 and RT4 (inside). Hereinafter, RT1 and RT3 may be referred to as advantageous RT.

After the setting is changed, it is first controlled to RT0. In RT0, if the winning of the falling bell or the middle bell is missed when the pushing order bell is won, the missing point is derived, and the game state is shifted to RT1 on the condition of deriving the missing point. In RT1, when fall replay 1 wins, the game state is shifted to RT2. On the other hand, in RT1, when promotion replay wins, the game state is shifted to RT3. In RT2, when 32 games are completed, the game state is shifted to RT1. In RT3, if the winning of the falling bell or the middle bell is missed when the pushing order bell is won, the missing point is derived, and the game state is shifted to RT1 on the condition of deriving the missing point. In addition, in RT3, the game state is shifted to RT1 by winning the fall replay 2 as well. In any of RT1 to RT4, when the BB is won, the game state is shifted to RT4 (internal). In addition, in RT1 and RT3, when the number of games in the advantageous interval reaches 1500 and the advantageous interval ends, the advantageous RT also ends.

Here, RT0 is an initial game state to which the setting is changed, and a game state in which the total probability of replay is lower than those of RT1 and RT3, and is more disadvantageous to the player than RT1 and RT3. When the advantageous section ends, the game state is shifted to the initial game state, and ART (the state in which the AT is controlled and the advantageous RT is controlled) ends.

Inside, when the BB is won, the game state is shifted to the BB. Incidentally, if the BB can be won in a game in which the BB is won in any of RT0 to RT3, the game state is shifted to the BB without going through the inside. The BB ends when the number of medals paid out in the BB exceeds 350, and when the BB ends, the game state shifts to RT0.

[About lottery target roles]
Next, the lottery target combination to be selected in the internal lottery performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG.

The lottery target combination is a combination that is the target of an internal lottery executed by the slot machine 1 . The internal lottery is executed by the main control unit 41, and is a process of determining a symbol combination (a winning combination that allows winning) that is allowed to be derived. If the internal lottery permits the derivation of the symbol combination, the winning combination corresponding to the symbol combination is won.

FIG. 7 is an example of a lottery table, in which the winning combination numbers 1 to 50 assigned to each winning combination are shown in the winning combination number column, and the names of the winning combinations are shown in the winning combination combination column. In the column, the lottery target combination that is the lottery target for each type of game state is shown ("○" indicates that it is a lottery target, and "-" indicates that it is not a lottery target. ), the setting difference column indicates whether or not there is a setting difference (applicable items are indicated by a circle), and the advantageous section transition / AT lottery column indicates whether or not there is an AT lottery at the time of or after the transition to the advantageous section. (Applicable items are indicated by circles.), and the main notification timing column indicates whether it is an earlier notification or a later notification (applicable items are indicated by circles.).

As shown in FIG. 7, the lottery roles include BB cherry, BB bell, middle cherry 1, middle cherry 2, strong cherry 1, strong cherry 2, strong cherry 3, weak cherry 1, weak cherry 2, and weak cherry 3. , light cherry 4, watermelon 1, watermelon 2, watermelon 3, watermelon 4, BB + middle cherry 1, BB + middle cherry 2, BB + strong cherry 1, BB + strong cherry 2, BB + strong cherry 3, BB, bell, left bell 1, Left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, single role, cherry replay 1, cherry replay 2, watermelon play 1, watermelon play 2, normal replay, ascending replay 1, ascending replay 2, ascending replay 3, ascending replay 4, ascending replay 5, ascending replay 6, maintenance replay 1, maintenance replay 2, maintenance replay 3, maintenance replay 4, maintenance replay 5, and maintenance replay 6 are included. Each lottery target combination is assigned a combination number in advance, and in the internal lottery table, the lottery target combinations are arranged in descending order of the assigned combination number.

The main control unit 41 conducts an internal lottery when the start switch 7 is operated after setting the number of bets. The main control unit 41 determines in the internal lottery process, which will be described later, whether or not the winning combination has been won in descending order of the lottery number. For example, in the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 obtains random numbers from integers within a predetermined range (0 to 65535). Each lottery target combination is pre-assigned a number of determination values from integers within a predetermined range (0 to 65535) according to the game state and the set value. For example, middle cherry 1 is assigned 4 as the number of judgment values in any RT state. The main control unit 41 adds the number of determination values to the obtained random number in descending order of the lottery winning combination, and when the addition result overflows (exceeds 65535), the addition is made at that point. The lottery target combination with the target judgment value number is determined as the winning combination. In this way, the main control unit 41 performs an internal lottery for each lottery target combination in descending order of the pre-assigned combination numbers.

In this embodiment, when the result of adding the determination value number of the lottery target combination to the acquired random number overflows in the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 selects the lottery target combination of the determination value number. The winning combination is determined, but it is also possible to determine the winning combination based on the results of calculations other than addition in the internal lottery. ), and when the result of subtraction falls below a predetermined value (for example, 0, etc.), the lottery object combination with the judgment value that was subject to subtraction at that time is the winning combination. A configuration or the like that determines the

Each lottery target combination is classified by category and assigned a combination number. The category in this embodiment means a group divided by the nature, role, function, or the like of the lottery winning combination. For example, the categories in this embodiment include the category to be selected during the BB, the category in which the advantageous section is won, the category in which the advantageous section is not won, the category with setting difference, the category without setting difference, and the timing of the main notification is announced first. category, category where the timing of the main notification can be announced later, category where the winning probability (number of judgment values) does not change according to the RT state, category where the winning probability (number of judgment values) changes according to the RT state, A category of special wins, a category of minor wins, a category of replaying wins, and a category of winning wins are included. Winning category wins in an advantageous interval are assigned larger win numbers than categories winning in an advantageous interval. Specifically, regarding the lottery target wins of the lottery target category during non-BB, the win numbers 35 to 48 are assigned to the transfer target wins that are won in the advantageous zone and are shifted to the advantageous zone. are assigned winning numbers 1 to 34. As a result, the internal lottery for the winning combination to be transferred is performed with priority over the winning combination not to be transferred.

Of the wins to be transitioned to which win numbers 35 to 48 are assigned, the wins in the category of which the timing of the main notification is pre-notification are larger in numbers than the wins of the category in which the timing of the main notification may be the post-notification. is assigned. Specifically, win numbers 38 to 48 are assigned to category wins in which the timing of the main notification is pre-notification, and win numbers 35 to 37 are assigned to category wins in which the timing of the main notification may be post-notification. It is

Of the non-transferable hands to which the hand numbers 1 to 34 are assigned, the winning probability (judgment value) of the winning probability (judgment value) does not change according to the game state. A combination number larger than the combination of the changing category is assigned. Specifically, hand numbers 13 to 31 are assigned to the wins of categories whose winning probability (number of judgment values) does not change according to the game state, and categories where the winning probability (number of judgment values) changes according to the game state. Role numbers 1 to 12 are assigned to the roles of .

Furthermore, on the premise of the above-described combination number assignment rule, the combination numbers with the larger numbers are assigned in the order of the special combination category, the small combination category, and the replay combination category. It should be noted that the same type of combination (for example, cherry, watermelon, pushing order bell, ascending replay, sustaining replay, etc.) are grouped so that the combination numbers are consecutive.

As shown in FIG. 7, the wins in the category without setting difference can be transitioned, but the wins in the category with setting difference cannot be transitioned. For example, Strong Cherry 1 with combination number 46 and BB+Strong Cherry 1 with combination number 35 are combinations in the category of no setting difference, and are determined as transition target combinations. On the other hand, BB+High Cherry 2 of combination number 33 is a combination of the category with setting difference, and is not defined as a combination to be shifted. Similarly, other roles with setting differences are not defined as transition target roles. It should be noted that there may be a case where even a combination of the category with no setting difference is not determined as a combination to be transferred. For example, the hand number 32, BB+High Cherry 3, is a combination of the no set difference category, but is not determined as a transition target combination.

Strong cherry 1, strong cherry 2, and strong cherry 3 are all hands that can derive a pattern combination of rising cherry. It depends on whether you are elected or not. For example, strong cherry 1 with combination number 46 is a combination with no BB winning, no setting difference, and winning of an advantageous section. The combination number 35, BB+High Cherry 1, is a combination with BB winning, no set difference, and winning in an advantageous section. The combination number 33, BB+High Cherry 2, is a combination with BB winning, setting difference, and no advantage zone winning. The combination number 32, BB+High Cherry 3, is a combination with BB winning, no set difference, and no advantage zone winning. In this way, the strong cherry combination from which the upward-sloping cherry symbol combination can be derived is a combination in which either a BB win or an advantageous zone win is determined.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining combinations of winnings that are permitted according to the lottery target winnings. As shown in FIG. 8, each lottery target combination is a combination of one or more winning combinations, and when one lottery target combination is won in an internal lottery, the winning combination included in the lottery target combination is won. It will be done.

For example, both middle cherries 1 and 2 include middle cherries. Therefore, regardless of whether the middle stage cherry 1 or 2 is won, the cherry pattern is stopped at the middle stage of the left reel 2L according to the operation timing of the stop switch 8L. Both cherry replays 1 and 2 include cherry replays. Therefore, regardless of whether cherry replay 1 or 2 is won, the cherry pattern is stopped in the middle row of the left reel 2L according to the operation timing of the stop switch 8L.

[Regarding reel control]
Next, reel control performed by the main control unit 41 when left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4, and right bells 1 to 4 among the lottery target roles are won in the internal lottery will be described based on FIG. explain. Hereinafter, left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, and right bells 1-4 may be collectively referred to as push order bells.

The main control unit 41 controls the stop control of the reels when one of the push order bells (left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4, right bells 1 to 4) is won in the internal lottery. 4. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in a predetermined operation mode (operation order in this embodiment) corresponding to the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4, the corresponding operation mode (See FIG. 9).

As a result, when any one of the left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, and right bells 1-4 is won, the right falling bell is performed by performing the stop operation in the order of operations according to the type of the winning combination. Alternatively, while the middle bell always wins a prize, the upper bell may win a prize by performing a stop operation in an operation order other than the operation order according to the type of winning combination, but the upper bell may not win a prize. Therefore, when left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, and right bells 1-4 are won, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out is changed depending on whether or not the operation is performed in the order of operation corresponding to the type of winning combination. can be done. In the following, when the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 are won, the operation mode that makes it possible to surely win the middle bell (when the left bell 1 to 4 is won, The left first stop operation, the middle first stop operation when the middle bell 1 to 4 are won, and the right first stop operation when the right bell 1 to 4 are won) may be called a correct answer procedure.

The main control unit 41 controls the reel stop control when one of the push order replays (ascending replays 1 to 6 and maintaining replays 1 to 6) is won in the internal lottery. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in a predetermined operation mode (in this embodiment, the order of operation) according to replays 1 to 6, a symbol combination of winning combination corresponding to the corresponding operation mode is obtained. is stopped on the winning line LN (see FIG. 10).

As a result, when any one of the replays 1 to 6 is won, by performing the stop operation in the order of operation according to the type of the winning combination, the normal replay always wins, while the type of the winning combination A fall replay 2 is won by performing a stop operation in an operation order other than the corresponding operation order. Therefore, when winning replays 1 to 6, the game state is shifted to RT1 or maintained at RT3 without shifting to RT1, depending on whether or not the operation is performed in the order of operation corresponding to the type of winning combination. can be done. In the following, the operation mode that makes it possible to win a normal replay reliably when winning replays 1 to 6 (when winning replay 1, press left, middle, right (forward), hold replay When winning replay 2, left and right middle (press pinch), when winning replay 3, middle left and right (press middle left), when winning replay 4, middle right left (press middle right), maintenance replay When 5 is won, right, left, middle (reverse pinching), and when sustaining replay 6 is won, right, middle, left (reverse pushing)) may be called the correct answer procedure.

[About the game section]
The main control unit 41 can control a plurality of types of game intervals as a concept of a state different from the game state (RT state). The game section includes a normal section, an advantageous section, and a standby section.

The normal section is a section in which it is not possible to notify the navigation information that can specify the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result. The advantageous section is a section in which navigation information can be notified, and is a section having performance related to an instruction function (navigation) for instructing the player how to operate the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. In the advantageous section, navigation is executed at least once to generate a winning prize in which the maximum number of coins to be paid out is obtained. Specifically, when the above-mentioned push-order bell is won, navigation for notifying the correct procedure is executed. The advantageous section is a section (state) that is more advantageous to the player than the normal section, in that the navigating operation in which the maximum number of coins to be paid out is generated is executed at least once.

After the setting change, the main control unit 41 first controls to the normal section, and then controls to the advantageous section based on the decision to shift to the advantageous section. The main control unit 41 determines transition to the advantageous section when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs an advantageous zone lottery to determine whether or not to transition from the normal zone to the advantageous zone when the internal lottery wins the transition target role in the normal zone. By winning the lottery, the transition to the advantageous section is determined. Among the above-mentioned lottery target roles, BB Cherry, Middle Cherry 1 and 2, Strong Cherry 1, Weak Cherry 1 to 4, Watermelon 1 to 4, Cherry Replay 1 and 2, and Watermelon Play 1 and 2 are among the roles to be transferred. is included. Middle cherries 1, 2 and strong cherries 1 are combinations that can be won simultaneously with BB.

The main control unit 41 can control a plurality of control states in the advantageous section. The control state during the advantageous interval includes CZ, normal AT, advantageous AT, and special AT, and the main control section 41 controls to any of these control states during the advantageous interval.

In the normal section, if you win any of the transition target roles in the internal lottery, strong cherry 1, 2, weak cherry 1, 2, watermelon 1, 2, cherry replay 1, 2, watermelon play 1, 2, BB + strong cherry 1 In the advantageous section lottery, it is determined whether or not to shift to CZ as an advantageous section. On the other hand, in the normal section, when one of the transition target roles of middle cherry 1, middle cherry 2, BB + middle cherry 1, or BB + middle cherry 2 is won in the internal lottery, in the advantageous section lottery, the transition to normal AT as an advantageous section It is decided whether or not to allow In other words, middle stage cherries 1 and 2 are combinations in which AT is guaranteed by being won in the advantageous section lottery. By winning the advantageous section lottery, the transition to the advantageous section (CZ or normal AT) will be determined. Determining the transition to the advantageous section is also called winning the advantageous section.

CZ is a state in which the degree of advantage in controlling the AT is higher than in the normal section. A high degree of advantage regarding control to AT means that it is easier to decide to shift to AT than in a normal section, and that more AT games, which are the right to control AT, are given than in a normal section. mentioned.

AT (Normal AT, Favorable AT, and Special AT) are states with a higher degree of advantage than CZ. For example, AT guarantees a longer period during which navigation can be performed than CZ. Alternatively, AT guarantees more times that navigation can be performed than CZ. In this way, since AT guarantees a longer navigation execution period than CZ, for example, it is possible to increase the number of games in which the falling bell or the middle bell is won when the bell is won in the order of pushing, and the degree of advantage is greater than CZ becomes higher.

The normal AT, the advantageous AT, and the special AT each have a different probability of adding to the number of AT games. The special AT has a higher probability of adding the number of AT games than the normal AT and the advantageous AT, and is guaranteed a longer period during which navigation can be executed than the normal AT and the advantageous AT. Advantageous AT has a higher probability of adding the number of AT games than normal AT, and is guaranteed a longer period during which navigation can be executed than normal AT. In the advantageous section, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the rank increases in stages from CZ to normal AT, advantageous AT, and special AT. For example, during the advantageous section, a lottery related to the instruction function is performed based on the result of the internal lottery performed during the CZ, and if the lottery related to the instruction function is won, the player is controlled to AT.

In the normal section, when the BB is won, the control to the advantageous section is controlled to the standby section until the BB is won. In the waiting section, it is controlled to the advantageous section when winning the BB.

When it is controlled in the advantageous section, it shifts to the normal section based on the establishment of the predetermined end condition. The predetermined end condition includes a condition that is satisfied when the numerical value updated during the advantageous section reaches a specified value regardless of the type of the advantageous section. In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 counts the number of games played in the advantageous interval (also referred to as the number of advantageous intervals G). When the number of advantageous interval G reaches 1500 games, the main control unit 41 initializes all the data relating to the advantageous interval, ends the advantageous interval being executed, and shifts to the normal interval. In this case, for example, when the advantageous section being executed is CZ, CZ ends even if the number of CZ games still remains. Also, for example, when the advantageous section being executed is the normal AT, the AT ends even if the number of AT games still remains.

When the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games, the advantageous section is shifted to the normal section, and the initial game state (RT0) after setting change is controlled.

Further, the predetermined end condition includes a condition that can be satisfied before the number of G games in the advantageous interval reaches 1500 games and is satisfied when the right to control in the advantageous interval is lost. The right to control in the advantageous section includes the number of CZ games for controlling to CZ, the number of AT games for controlling to AT, and the like. In this embodiment, when the number of games for controlling the advantageous interval, such as the number of CZ games or the number of AT games, reaches 0, the advantageous interval being executed ends and shifts to the normal interval.

[About main notification]
When the transition to the advantageous section is determined, the main control section 41 lights the advantageous section LED 25 and also lights the eighth segment (see FIG. 11(a)) of the auxiliary game display 12 . Lighting of the advantageous section LED 25 and the eighth segment of the game auxiliary display 12 to indicate the advantageous section is also referred to as main notification. After the main notification is performed, control is performed in the advantageous section. By performing the main notification, it is suggested to the player that it is an advantageous section.

The main notification includes pre-notification and post-notification. The advance notification is made in the game in which the transition to the advantageous section has been decided. The timing at which the advance notification is performed is also referred to as the advance notification timing. Specifically, the advance notification timing is set after the decision to move to the advantageous interval is made, and then the bet amount for the game following the game in which the move to the advantageous interval has been decided (automatic bet amount setting due to replay wins is also the same). Any timing until the end of the period is acceptable. For example, the previous notification timing is the timing at which the third stop operation of the game in which the transition to the advantageous section has been determined is released and the symbol combination is derived It may be the timing at which the depression of the switch is released).

The post-notification is a notification that can be given when control is made to the standby section by determining the transition to the advantageous section together with the winning of the BB. The timing at which the post-notification is performed is also referred to as the post-notification timing. Specifically, the post-notification timing may be any timing after the BB symbol combination is derived. For example, the post notification timing may be the timing when the BB symbol combination is derived and the BB wins.

In this embodiment, while the transition to the advantageous section is determined, if the BB is not won in the internal lottery, advance notification is performed at the timing (preliminary notification timing) in the game when the winning in the advantageous section lottery is won.

Also, in this embodiment, when the transition to the advantageous section is determined and the BB is won in the internal lottery, the transition to the advantageous section is determined according to the type of the transition target combination that triggered the determination of the transition to the advantageous section. There are times when advance notification is performed at the timing (predecessor notification timing) within the game at which the shift is determined, and there are times when post notification is performed at the timing after the symbol combination of BB is derived (post notification timing).

When the preceding notification is made, the inside after that is controlled to be an advantageous interval, and the advantageous interval LED 25 and the eighth segment of the game auxiliary display 12 continue to light up. Navigation can be performed as processing related to the instruction function in advantageous sections inside the interior. However, lottery related to the instruction function (for example, AT lottery or additional lottery) is not executed in the advantageous section inside. On the other hand, when the post-notification is performed without the pre-notification, the inside is controlled to the waiting section. In the waiting section in the interior, the processing related to the instruction function is not executed. That is, in the waiting section inside, neither the lottery related to navigation nor the instruction function (for example, the AT lottery or the additional lottery) is executed. After that, a post-notification is performed together with the winning of the BB, and in the subsequent BB, control is made to the advantageous section and the advantageous section LED 25 continues to light up. In the advantageous section in the BB, a lottery related to the navigation or the instruction function may be executed as the process related to the instruction function.

The main control unit 41 turns off the advantageous section LED 25 and the eighth segment of the game auxiliary display 12 when ending the advantageous section and shifting to the normal section. During the normal section, the advantageous section LED 25 and the eighth segment of the game auxiliary display 12 are controlled to be turned off.

[About Navi]
During the advantageous section, as shown in FIG. 11(a), the main control unit 41 performs a correct answer procedure according to the navigation target lottery winning combination (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the navigation target combination) won in the internal lottery process. (eg, pressing order) using the game auxiliary display 12 to perform navigation. The operating modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R include the order of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R (push order) and the timing of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R (operation timing). be

When notifying the navigation information, the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12 is controlled to light up in a lighting mode (for example, a mode of displaying numbers and symbols) corresponding to the winning navigation target role. Further, when the navigation information is notified, the fact that the navigation information is being displayed is notified by controlling the eighth segment (see FIG. 11(b)) of the game auxiliary display 12 to be lit. The main control unit 41 controls the lighting mode of the auxiliary game display 12 so as to display the number of medals to be paid out when the medals are paid out according to the winning of a small winning combination. controls the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12 so as to display an error code indicating the type of error that has occurred. By controlling the 8th segment in the non-lighting state, it is indicated that the displayed information is not the navigation information.

Further, when the navigation target combination is won in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 outputs a pressing order command capable of specifying the correct procedure corresponding to the navigation target combination. The sub control unit 91 executes navigation based on the push order command. As shown in FIG. 11(a), the sub-control unit 91 displays an image (for example, showing the order of pushing) indicating navigation information (for example, the order of pushing) and numbers displayed corresponding to the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. image, etc.) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Navigation by an effect executed by the sub-control unit 91 is called a navigation effect. During the advantageous interval, the sub-controller 91 uses the liquid crystal display 51 to execute processing for notifying navigation information (for example, pressing order) capable of specifying the correct procedure corresponding to the pressing order command. In this way, both the main control section 41 and the sub-control section 91 execute navigation by reporting information that can specify the correct procedure.

By performing a stop operation by the player in the stop order according to the navigation, when any one of the ascending replays 1 to 6 is won in RT1, the promotion replay can be won intentionally to shift to RT3, A right falling bell or a middle bell can be awarded, and when any of the maintenance replays 1 to 6 is won in RT3, the normal replay is intentionally awarded to avoid winning the fall replay 2, and RT3 is won. can be maintained, and when any of the push order bells is won in RT0 to 4, the right falling bell or the middle bell can be won to win 8 medals, and the push order can be obtained in RT3. When any one of the bells is won, it is possible to win the falling bell or the middle bell to avoid the stoppage of the winning number and maintain RT3.

Next, details of control of various processes performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 18. FIG.

[Regarding main processing and timer interrupt processing]
The control contents of the main processing performed by the main control unit 41 as basic processing will be described with reference to FIG. 12 . The main process is repeatedly executed for each unit of game. One cycle of the main process corresponds to one game unit.

The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the processing according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 as the main process changes, and according to the change in the detection state of the various switches Perform a gradual migration process.

As shown in FIG. 12, in the main process, first, a game start waiting process (Sa1) for waiting until a game is started is performed. In the game start waiting process, the player waits in a state in which the number of bets can be set, sets the specified number of bets according to the game state, and starts the game when the start switch 7 is operated. Also, when the start switch 7 is operated, the random number for the internal lottery is latched and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c.

Next, an internal lottery process for performing an internal lottery is carried out with the start of the game (Sa2). In the internal lottery process, as will be described later, the winning of each lottery target combination is permitted based on the internal lottery random number latched when the start switch 7 is operated in step Sa1 (that is, the display (whether or not to permit the derivation of the result). In addition, if the lottery result of the internal lottery wins the lottery target role with the setting difference or in the case that no role is not won, the lottery result of the internal lottery in the game in question wins the lottery target role with the setting difference A process of setting a flag (loss and setting difference flag) that can specify that it is a loss in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c is performed.

After the internal lottery process has been performed in step Sa2, it is determined whether or not the flag for the loss and setting difference is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sa3). If it is determined that there is not, it is determined whether or not the BB first hit flag and the BB internal middle flag are set in the predetermined areas of the RAM 41c (Sa4, Sb5). When it is determined in step Sa4 that the BB first hit flag is set, and in step Sa4 it is determined that the BB first hit flag is not set, and in step Sa5 the BB internal middle flag is set. If it is determined that there is no lottery type setting process for setting the type (lottery type) according to the result of the internal lottery as described later (Sa6). It should be noted that the BB first hit flag is cleared in the game end time setting process which is performed at the end of the game. In addition, the internal flag is cleared when it is determined that the BB that has been won and carried over wins in the game end setting process performed at the end of the game after the relevant game.

After it is determined that the flags with a loss and setting difference are not set in step Sa3, and after the lottery type setting process is performed, and when it is determined that the flag with a loss and setting difference is set in step Sa3 , an advantageous section lottery process for executing an advantageous section lottery for determining whether or not to shift to an advantageous section is performed (Sa7). Further, when it is determined that the BB first hit flag is not set in step Sa4, and when it is determined that the internal BB flag is set in step Sa5, the lottery type setting process is performed in step Sa6. Instead, the process proceeds to step Sa7, and the advantageous section lottery process is performed (Sa5).

In the advantageous section process, when the game section is controlled to the normal section, a lottery type (lottery types 2 to 4 in this embodiment) that can specify that the transition target combination has been won is set. When it is specified, an advantageous zone lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to an advantageous zone (CZ or normal AT) based on the lottery type. Then, by winning the advantageous section lottery, the game section is shifted to the advantageous section, and control relating to the advantageous section (for example, control for performing main notification, etc.) is started. On the other hand, when the advantageous section lottery is not won, the game section is maintained as the normal section, and the advantageous section is not controlled. In addition, if a lottery type that can specify that the transition target role has not been won or a lottery type that can specify that the lottery target role with a setting difference has been won, Terminate the advantageous section processing without performing the processing or the processing for transitioning to the advantageous section.

Then, after performing the advantageous zone lottery process in step Sa7, AT lottery process for performing lottery relating to AT control is performed (Sa8). When the game section is controlled to the advantageous section, it is specified that a lottery type (lottery types 2 to 4 in the present embodiment) capable of specifying that the transition target combination has been won is set. In this case, a promotion lottery is performed to determine whether or not to upgrade the type of the advantageous section, and each time the promotion lottery is won, the advantageous section is promoted in the order of CZ, normal AT, advantageous AT, and special AT. do. For example, when controlling the advantageous section to CZ, if you win the promotion lottery, you will be promoted to normal AT, and a predetermined number of AT games (for example, 40 games per set) will be given. , start controlling the AT described above. Also, for example, when the advantageous section is controlled to normal AT or advantageous AT, if a promotion lottery is won, the type of the advantageous section is promoted by one and shifted to advantageous AT or special AT, and AT continue to control Further, for example, when the advantageous section is controlled to the special AT and the player wins the promotion lottery, the type of the advantageous section is maintained as the special AT.

In addition, in the AT lottery process, when any of the normal AT, the advantageous AT, and the special AT is controlled as the advantageous section, the lottery type (in this embodiment, the lottery type 2 4) is specified, an additional lottery is performed to determine whether or not to add a predetermined number of AT games (for example, 40 games per set) according to the lottery type. . Then, by winning the addition lottery, a predetermined number of AT games are added and the control of the AT is continued. In addition, if a lottery type that can specify that the transfer target role has not been won or a lottery type that can specify that the lottery target role with a set difference has been won is specified, AT lottery or addition To end AT lottery processing without performing processing related to lottery.

After the AT lottery process is performed in step Sa8, an internal winning command transmission process for transmitting an internal winning command or the like according to the result of the internal lottery is performed (Sa9). In the internal winning command transmission process, it is possible to specify a group of winning lottery hands (for example, the order of pushing the bell (see FIG. 7)) based on the winning number (including losing) of the winning hand in the internal lottery. It controls to transmit the internal winning command to the sub-controller 91 . In addition, when the game section is an advantageous section and the number of AT remaining games is 1 or more and navigation notification is to be performed, the sub-control unit 91 outputs an operation mode command capable of specifying the operation mode to be notified by the navigation notification. control to send to

Then, after the internal winning command transmission process is performed in step Sa7, reel control process (Sa10) for controlling to rotate and stop the reels 2L, 2C and 2R, all the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are stopped. After performing the game end setting process (Sa11) for performing various settings when the game is ended, the process returns to the game start waiting process of the step Sa1, and the above-described processes are sequentially and repeatedly executed.

In addition, in the main processing, a command storage processing is executed as appropriate to generate commands according to the progress of the game and set them in the command queue. It is designed to be transmitted to the sub-controller 91 by transmission processing.

The timer interrupt processing (main) is processing performed by the main control unit 41 at regular time intervals (about 0.56 milliseconds in this embodiment). The execution interval of timer interrupt processing is set to a time longer than the sum of the time taken for one cycle of processing to be repeated according to the control state in the main processing and the execution time of timer interrupt processing. Between the timer interrupt processing and the processing that is always repeated according to the control state, at least one cycle is performed.

In this way, in the main process, it is determined whether or not the flag for the loss and setting difference is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the internal lottery process, and if the flag is set, the lottery type setting process control to prevent As a result, when the loss and setting difference flags are set, the lottery types 1 to 4 are not set by the lottery type setting process, and the lottery types set by being initialized at the start of the internal lottery process. Control to maintain 0.

Further, in the main process, it is determined whether or not the flag for the loss and setting difference is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the internal lottery process. A type setting process is performed, and control is performed to set lottery types 1 to 4 according to the winning numbers set in the internal lottery process.

Further, in the main processing, it is determined whether or not the BB internal middle flag and the BB first hit flag are set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. If it is, by controlling not to perform the lottery type setting process, the lottery type setting process does not set the lottery types 1 to 4 and maintains the lottery type 0, while the BB internal flag and the BB first When both winning flags are set, lottery type setting processing is performed on the condition that neither the internal middle flag of the BB nor the first winning flag of the BB is set, and the winning number set in the internal lottery processing is selected. The lottery types 1 to 4 are updated accordingly.

[Regarding internal lottery processing and internal lottery table]
Next, the control contents of the internal lottery process performed by the main control unit 41 of this embodiment and the internal lottery table used in the internal lottery process will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 16. FIG.

The internal lottery process is a process for determining whether or not any of the above-mentioned lottery target hands has been won. A judgment value predetermined for each lottery target combination is read out from the internal lottery table and sequentially added to the random number in the above. While it is determined that the lottery target combination corresponding to the determination value obtained has been won, when the determination values of all the lottery target combinations have been added to the random number for the internal lottery, the value obtained by the addition is a predetermined number ( In the present embodiment, when the number does not exceed 65536), it is determined that none of the lottery-targeted roles is won, that is, a so-called loss.

The ROM 41b included in the main control unit 41 of this embodiment has a plurality of storage areas, and the internal lottery table used in the internal lottery process is registered in advance over the plurality of storage areas in the ROM 41b. In each storage area of the ROM 41b, one address is assigned in advance for each 1-byte area, and it is possible to specify a specific storage area of the ROM 41b based on the specific address.

The search data of the lottery target combination with a small value are arranged so as to be stored in the rear side of the storage area of the search data table. In addition, when the lottery target wins are arranged in descending order of the lottery numbers, the lottery target wins in the BB, the lottery target wins related to the advantageous zone, the lottery target wins related to the waiting zone, the advantageous zone Among the lottery target hands that are not related to the game state, the lottery target combination that does not change the judgment value data according to the game state, and the lottery target combination that does not change the judgment value data according to the game state. The lottery-targeted combinations are allocated so as to be aligned, and the search data for each lottery-targeted combination are also arranged in this order in the search data table.

In addition, in the search data table, the determination value data varies according to the game state among the lottery target combination in the BB, the lottery target combination related to the advantageous zone, the lottery target combination related to the standby zone, and the lottery target combination not related to the advantageous zone. For the lottery-targeted hands that are not selected, only the retrieval data of these lottery-targeted hands are sequentially arranged. , along with the search data of each lottery target combination, can specify the change flag data (FF) that can specify that the determination value data changes according to the game state, and the address of the ROM 41b where the search data is stored. Differential data are placed. Hereinafter, the flag data with change and the difference data may be collectively referred to as search data specifying data.

Further, in the search data table, for the lottery-targeted combinations whose judgment value data varies according to the gaming state, among the lottery-targeted combinations that are not related to the advantageous section, the search data for each lottery-targeted combination data group for identifying each lottery-targeted combination is stored in the search data table. It is arranged on the front side of the search data group. In the search data identification data group for each lottery role, the difference data of the lottery role is stored in the storage area at the address next to the storage area storing the change flag data (FF) of the predetermined lottery role. The variable flag data (FF) and the difference data for each lottery combination are alternately arranged. In addition, in the retrieval data group of each lottery object combination, retrieval data of each game state for a predetermined lottery object combination are sequentially arranged in successive storage areas in the order of RT0, RT4, RT3, RT2, and RT1. .

In this embodiment, the search data is a storage area in which a reference address (leading address) of a judgment value data table described later and predetermined judgment value data are stored when a lottery object is selected in the corresponding game state. , and is a predetermined value (0) indicating that it is not a lottery target in the corresponding game state when it is not a lottery target in the corresponding game state. Based on the search data, it is possible to identify whether or not the relevant game state is subject to the lottery, and if the object is the lottery, it is possible to identify the address where the judgment value data of the corresponding combination number is stored. It is possible.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the determination value data table, determination value data for each lottery combination is stored in advance. The leading address of the determination value data table is called the reference address of the determination value data table. The determination value data of each lottery target combination is sequentially arranged from the storage area next to the storage area specified by the reference address of the determination value data table. Also, the determination value data is stored in an address area specified based on the sum of the value of the corresponding search data and the value of the reference address of the determination value data table.

In the judgment value data table, the judgment value data of each lottery winning combination is a lottery winning combination whose judgment value data does not change according to the setting values (1 to 6) set in the slot machine 1 (hereinafter referred to as setting difference). The decision value data for a lottery winning combination whose decision value data fluctuates according to the set value (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a setting difference combination) are The group of determination value data for the combination with no set difference is arranged in front of the group of determination value data for the combination with the set difference. In addition, in the determination value data group of the combination with set difference, the determination value data for each set value is stored continuously in the order of set values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 for a predetermined lottery target combination. The judgment value data with a smaller set value is arranged in front of the judgment value data with a larger set value.

The judgment value data includes 1-byte data having a data length of 1 byte and 2-byte data having a data length of 2 bytes. is divided into 1-byte data for a hand with no difference, 2-byte data for a hand with no difference, 1-byte data for a hand with a difference, and 2-byte data for a hand with a difference. , the 2-byte data group of the set no difference hand is arranged behind the 1-byte data group of the set no difference hand, and the 1-byte data group of the set difference hand is arranged behind the 2-byte data group of the set no difference hand. , a group of 2-byte data of a hand with a set difference is arranged behind the 1-byte data group of the hand with a set difference. In addition, the ROM 41b can store 1-byte data in a storage area specified by one address. is stored so as to be located in the storage area on the front side of the upper byte data.

Further, hereinafter, the boundary between the 1-byte data group of the set no difference hand and the 2-byte data group of the set no difference hand will be referred to as the first data boundary, and the 2-byte data group of the set no difference hand will be the first data boundary. is called a first data boundary value. In addition, the boundary between the 2-byte data group for no set difference and the 1-byte data group for set difference, that is, the boundary between the judgment value data group for no set difference and the judgment value data group for set difference is set as the second This is referred to as a 2-data boundary, and the value of the top address of the 1-byte data group of the set difference hand that becomes the second data boundary is referred to as a second data boundary value. Also, the boundary between the 1-byte data group of the set difference hand and the 2-byte data group of the set difference hand is called the third data boundary, and the head of the 2-byte data group of the set difference hand that becomes the third data boundary. The address value is called the third data boundary value.

Next, the control contents of the internal lottery process will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the internal lottery process, lottery type data set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c is initialized to 0 (Sb1). Thereafter, a game state determination process is performed (Sb2) to determine which of the currently controlled game state is RT0 to 4 or BB, and the game state data capable of specifying the current game state is stored in the RAM 41c. Set to area.

Then, 0 is set in the A register as the addition value (A) used in the addition processing described later (Sb3). Thereafter, referring to the game state data, it is determined whether or not the current game state is BB (Sb4), and if it is determined to be BB, the addition value ( A) is corrected to a predetermined number (2 in this embodiment) (Sb5), and if it is determined not to be BB, the addition value (A) set in the A register is maintained at 0 in step Sb3.

Then, data (internal lottery table index (head address of internal lottery table)) registered in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 41b is obtained and set in the H and L registers as the current position address (HL) (Sb6). . The H register is set with the upper byte of the address indicating the predetermined area of the ROM 41b, and the L register is set with the lower byte of the address. Hereinafter, the H register and the L register may be collectively referred to as the HL register.

In step Sb6, after the address value, which is the internal lottery table index, is set in the HL register as the current position address (HL), addition processing is performed (Sb7). In addition processing, by adding the addition value (A) set in the A register at the start of the processing to the HL register in which the current position address (HL) is set, the value of the current position address (HL) is obtained. A process to advance by the added value (A) is performed. Further, in the addition process, data stored in the storage area of the ROM 41b specified by the current position address (HL) after the addition is obtained and set in the A register.

By performing the addition process in step Sb7, the current position address (HL) is obtained from the head address of the internal lottery table specified by the internal lottery table index by the added value (A) set in step Sb3 or Sb5. If the game state currently being controlled is not BB, the current position address (HL) is advanced by 0, and the top address (address na in this embodiment) of the internal lottery table is set. While the current position address (HL) becomes the current position address (HL), when the gaming state is BB, the current position address (HL) is advanced by a predetermined number (2 in this embodiment), and the top address (address na) of the internal lottery table ) is advanced by a predetermined number (address nb in this embodiment) is the current position address (HL).

Then, the data stored in advance in the memory area of the ROM 41b corresponding to the current position address (HL) obtained by the addition processing in step Sb7 (initial value of winning number in non-BB (48 in this embodiment) Alternatively, the initial value of the winning number in the BB (50 in this embodiment) is obtained and set in the B register as the initial value of the winning number (B) (Sb8). In this embodiment, the winning number (B) is designed to match the winning combination number of the above-mentioned lottery target combination. The internal lottery process is performed for the lottery target combination of combination number 48 .

After that, 1 is added to the HL register to advance the current position address (HL) by one (Sb9). Then, the data (search data table initial address designation data 1 or search data initial address designation data 2) stored in advance in the storage area of the ROM 41b corresponding to the current position address (HL) is obtained, and the addition value (A) is obtained. is set in the A register (Sb10), and addition processing is performed (Sb11).

By performing addition processing in step Sb11, the current position address (HL) is advanced by the value of the addition value (A) from the address (address na+1 or address nb+1) at the start of the addition processing. The value of search data table initial address designation data 1 or the value of search data initial address designation data 2 is set to the addition value (A) by the processing of step Sb10. The search data table initial address designation data 1 corresponds to the initial value of the winning number in the non-BB in the search data table from the address (address na+1) of the storage area where the search data table initial address designation data 1 is stored. A value indicating the difference from the address (for example, address nd) of the storage area storing the search data of the lottery target combination (lottery target combination of combination number 48) to the previous address is set. The data initial addressing data 2 includes the lottery target role corresponding to the initial value of the winning number in the BB in the search data table from the address (address nb+1) of the storage area where the search data initial addressing data 2 is stored. A value is set that indicates the difference from the address (for example, the address nc) of the storage area storing the search data for (lottery target combination of combination number 50) to the address immediately before. Therefore, if the game state currently under control is not BB, the winning number (48 in this embodiment), which is the initial value among non-BB in the search data table, is determined by the addition processing in step Sb11. The address immediately before the address of the search data for (lottery target combination of combination number 48) is the current position address (address nd-1). The address (address nc-1) one before the address of the search data of the winning number (50 in this embodiment) (the lottery target role of winning number 50) is the current position address ( HL).

After performing the addition processing in step Sb11, the random number for the internal lottery that was latched when the start switch 7 was operated in the game start waiting processing of the main processing described above is acquired and stored in the IX register. Set (Sb12).

Then, a predetermined area of the RAM 41c in which a loss and setting difference flag can be set by a process described later in the internal lottery process is initialized to 0, and when the loss and setting difference flag is set, the flag is set. Clear (Sb13). The lost and set difference flags are data that can specify whether or not the lottery result of the internal lottery in the game is winning or losing of the lottery target role with the set difference.

Then, 1 is added to the HL register to advance the current position address (HL) by 1 (Sb14). As a result, the current position address (HL) stores the search data of the lottery target combination corresponding to the initial value of the winning number in the non-BB in the search data table depending on whether the game state is BB or not. or the address (address nc) of the storage area where the search data of the lottery target combination corresponding to the initial value of the winning number in the BB is stored in the search data table.

Then, the value of the current position address (HL) set in the HL register is saved by storing it in a predetermined area (for example, stack area) of the RAM 41c (Sb15). After that, the data stored in advance in the storage area of the ROM 41b corresponding to the current position address (HL) is obtained (Sb16), the value of the data is compared with a predetermined determination value, and the data is is changeable flag data (FF) indicating that the decision value of the lottery target combination corresponding to the current winning number (B) changes according to the game state (Sb17).

The currently set lottery number ( If the lottery target combination corresponding to B) is a combination in which the determination value data does not change according to the gaming state, for example, if the current position address (HL) is an address nc or an address nd, then the lottery target combination While search data for specifying the determination value data from the determination value data table is stored in advance, the lottery target combination corresponding to the currently set winning number (B) is determined according to the game state. In the case of a variable hand, for example, when the current position address (HL) is the address ne or the like, the variable flag data (FF) is stored in advance.

In this embodiment, the value of the search data is set to a value smaller than FF (a hexadecimal value, the maximum value that can be represented by 1-byte data), while the fluctuation flag data is set to FF is set. Also, the determination value is set to the same value FF (hexadecimal value) as the fluctuation flag data. As a result, when the data acquired in step Sb16 is search data other than the fluctuation flag data (FF), when the calculation for subtracting the determination value from the value of the acquired data is performed, The operation result becomes a negative value. On the other hand, if the data obtained in step Sb16 is fluctuation flag data (FF), the calculation result is 0 when the calculation for subtracting the judgment value from the value of the obtained data is performed. It is designed to be In step Sb17, for example, the value obtained by subtracting the judgment value (FF) from the data acquired in step Sb16 becomes a negative value, and the occurrence of a so-called carry is specified based on the flag register. In this case, it is determined that the data is not changed flag data (FF). On the other hand, if the subtracted value becomes 0 and it is not specified that a carry has occurred, it is determined that the changed flag data (FF) is present. can.

In step Sb17, if it is determined that the data acquired in step Sb16 is fluctuation flag data (FF), the current position address (HL) saved in step Sb15 is returned to the HL register. After that (Sb18), 1 is added to the HL register to advance the current position address (HL) by one (Sb19). As a result, the current position address (HL) becomes 1 of the address (for example, address ne) where the variable flag data (FF) for the lottery target combination corresponding to the currently set winning number (B) is stored. It becomes the next address (for example, address ne+1).

Then, the value of the current position address (HL) set in the HL register is saved again by storing it in a predetermined area (for example, stack area) of the RAM 41c (Sb20). After that, the difference data stored in the storage area of the ROM 41b corresponding to the current position address (HL) set in the HL register (for example, the storage area of address ne+1) is set in the A register as the addition value (A). (Sb21), addition processing is performed (Sb22).

By performing the addition process in step Sb22, the current position address (HL) is advanced by the value of the addition value (A) from the address at the start of the addition process. The added value (A) is the first address (for example, , address ne+1) is set. The data (difference data) is the address of the storage area where the search data when RT0 is stored for the lottery target combination corresponding to the current winning number (B) from the current position address (HL) (for example, This data indicates the difference value up to the address nf). Therefore, by the addition processing in step Sb22, the address (address nf) of the storage area storing the search data when the lottery target combination corresponding to the current winning number (B) is RT0 is changed to the current position address (HL ).

After performing the addition processing in step Sb22, the current game state set in the predetermined area of RAM 41c in step Sb2 is calculated from the maximum value (4 out of RT0-4) of the game state in slot machine 1. Subtract a value (for example, 1 if the game state currently being controlled is RT1), calculate the difference value between the maximum value of the game state and the current value, and add the difference value (A ) in the A register (Sb23). After that, when the value obtained by adding 1 to the addition value (A) set in the A register at step Sb23 is equal to or less than the maximum value of the game state, the addition value set at step Sb23 (A) is corrected by adding 1, and if the value obtained by adding 1 to the additional value (A) set in step Sb23 is greater than the maximum value of the game state, Sb23 The addition value (A) set in step 1 is corrected to 0 (Sb24). By performing such processing, the difference value between the address of the storage area storing the search data corresponding to the current RT and the current address (HL) can be set as the added value (A). Further, the addition value (A) set based on the current RT value set in step Sb2 is a value other than the value corresponding to the RT value within the normal range (0 to 4 in this embodiment). , the additional value (A) is corrected to a value (0 in this embodiment) corresponding to a predetermined RT value (RT0 in this embodiment) within the range of normal RT values. ing. For example, if the current RT value obtained in step Sb2 is 5, which exceeds the maximum value of the normal RT values, the processing of steps Sb23 and Sb24 is performed, and the added value (A) becomes RT0. It will be modified to the corresponding value (0 in this embodiment). Further, for example, even when the current RT value is 0, which is a normal RT value, the processing of steps Sb23 and Sb24 is performed so that the addition value (A) is a value corresponding to RT0 (in this embodiment , 0).

Then, addition processing is further performed (Sb25). By performing the addition process in step Sb25, the current position address (HL) is advanced by the value of the addition value (A) from the address at the start of the addition process. For the additional value (A), the difference value between the maximum value of the game state and the current value + 1 (for example, if the current game state is RT1, 4, the current game 3 if the current gaming state is RT2, 2 if the current gaming state is RT3, 1 if the current gaming state is RT4) or a correction value (for example, if the current gaming state is If it is RT0, 0) is set, and the current position address (HL) is advanced by the amount of the addition value (A), thereby storing the search data of the currently controlled game state. It will advance to the address of the area. In addition, in the addition process, data stored in the storage area of the ROM 41b corresponding to the new current position address (HL) advanced by the addition value (A) (in this embodiment, search data for the current game state value) is obtained.

After the addition process is performed in step Sb25, based on the search data of the current game state acquired by the addition process, the lottery target combination corresponding to the current winning number (B) is selected in the current game state. It is determined whether or not it is a lottery target in the lottery (Sb26). On the other hand, if it is determined in the step of Sb17 that the data acquired in the step of Sb16 is not the fluctuation flag data, the processing of the steps of Sb18 to Sb25 is not performed, and the data acquired in the step of Sb16, that is, the game state The process of step Sb26 is performed based on the search data for the lottery target combination whose determination value data does not change regardless of whether or not it is the lottery target.

In this embodiment, the search data is set to a value greater than a predetermined value (in this embodiment, a value greater than 1) if it is subject to the internal lottery, but is not subject to the internal lottery. In this case, a predetermined value (0 in this embodiment) is set. It can be determined whether or not the role is a lottery target.

In step Sb26, when it is determined that the lottery target combination corresponding to the current winning number (B) is the lottery object in the internal lottery in the current gaming state, step Sb14 or step Sb25 as described above. The search data stored in the storage area of the ROM 41b corresponding to the current position address (HL) set by is acquired and set to the addition value (A) (Sb27). In addition, the E register in which the low-order data of the winning determination data ED and the type coefficient E and the D register in which the high-order data of the winning determination data ED are set are initialized and set to 0 (Sb28). .

Then, by comparing the value of the search data obtained in step Sb27 with the first data boundary value of the judgment value data table, the current winning number (B) specified based on the search data is determined. It is determined whether or not the determination value data of the lottery target combination is 1-byte data of the combination with no set difference (Sb29). When the value of the search data is smaller than the first data boundary value, it is determined that the determination value data specified based on the search data is 1-byte data with no set difference. On the other hand, when the value of the search data is equal to or greater than the first data boundary value, it is determined that the determination value data specified based on the search data is not 1-byte data of a set no difference combination.

In step Sb29, if it is determined that the determination value data specified based on the search data is 1-byte data of the set no difference, the E register is maintained in the state initialized in step Sb28. , set the type coefficient E to 0 (“00” in binary notation), and proceed to Sb36, which will be described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the determination value data is not 1-byte data for a combination with no set difference, 1 is added to the E register to update the type coefficient E to 1 (“01” in binary notation), and then ( Sb30) and the value of the search data acquired in steps Sb27 is compared with the second data boundary value of the above-described judgment value data table, so that the judgment value data specified based on the search data does not have a set difference. It is determined whether or not it is 2-byte data of the role (Sb31). When the value of the search data is greater than the first data boundary value and smaller than the second data boundary value, the determination value data specified based on the search data is determined to be 2-byte data with no set difference. judge. On the other hand, when the value of the search data is equal to or greater than the second data boundary value, it is determined that the determination value data specified based on the search data is not the 2-byte data of the no set difference.

In step Sb31, when it is determined that the determination value data specified based on the search data is 2-byte data of the set no difference hand, the E register is updated to 1 in step Sb30 and maintained. Then, the type coefficient E is maintained at 1 (“01” in binary notation), and the process proceeds to Sb36, which will be described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the determination value data is not the 2-byte data of the combination with no set difference, 1 is added to the E register to update the type coefficient E to 2 ("10" in binary notation), and then ( Sb32), and set the flags of the error and setting difference in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sb33). After that, by comparing the value of the search data obtained in step Sb27 with the third data boundary value of the above-described decision value data table, the decision value data specified based on the search data is determined to have a setting difference. is 1-byte data (Sb34). If the value of the search data is larger than the second data boundary value and smaller than the third data boundary value, the judgment value data specified based on the search data is determined to be 1-byte data with set difference. judge. On the other hand, if the value of the search data is equal to or greater than the third data boundary value, it is determined that the determination value data specified based on the search data is not the 1-byte data of the setting difference combination.

In step Sb34, if it is determined that the determination value data specified based on the search data is 1-byte data with a setting difference, the E register is updated to 2 in step Sb32 and maintained. Then, the type coefficient E is maintained at 2 (“10” in binary notation), and the process proceeds to Sb36, which will be described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the relevant judgment value data is not 1-byte data of a set difference hand, and if the relevant judgment value data is 2-byte data of a set difference hand, 1 is added to the E register and the type After updating the coefficient E to 3 (“11” in binary notation) (Sb35), the process proceeds to Sb36.

As described above, in the present embodiment, after the type coefficient E is initialized in step Sb28, the judgment value data specified based on the search data is data for either a set no difference hand or a set difference hand. It is set to a value (0 to 4) according to whether the data is 1-byte data or 2-byte data. For example, if the judgment value data is the data for a hand with no set difference and is 1-byte data, the type coefficient E is set to 0 (“00” in binary notation), and the judgment value data is the set difference data. If the data is a no combination and is 2-byte data, the type coefficient E is set to 1 ("01" in binary notation), the judgment value data is data for a set difference combination, and If the data is 1-byte data, the type coefficient E is set to 2 ("10" in binary notation). , the type coefficient E is set to 3 (“11” in binary notation). When the type coefficient E is set in the E register, the value is set in binary notation. As a result, when the value of the first predetermined bit (for example, the first bit) is 0 by referring to the data set in the E register, it is possible to specify that the judgment value data is 1-byte data. When the value of the first predetermined bit is 1, it can be specified that the judgment value data is 2-byte data. Further, referring to the data set in the E register, if the value of the second predetermined bit (for example, the second bit) different from the first predetermined bit is 0, the judgment value data is set. When the value of the second predetermined bit is 1, it is possible to specify that the judgment value data is the data of the hand with set difference.

As shown in FIG. 16, in step Sb36, the reference address of the determination value data table stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 41b is obtained and set in the HL register to convert the current position address (HL) to the determination value. After setting the top address of the data table (Sb36), addition processing is performed (Sb37).

By performing the addition process in step Sb37, the current position address (HL) is advanced by the value of the addition value (A) from the address at the start of the addition process. The additional value (A) is set with the search data of the lottery target combination corresponding to the current winning number in step Sb27, and the current position address (HL) is set in the determination value data table in step Sb36. Since the top address is set, the current position address (HL) is advanced by the additional value (A), and the determination value data of the lottery target combination corresponding to the current winning number is stored in the determination value data table. The head address of the storage area (for example, address ma, address mb, address mc, address md, address me, address mf, address mg, etc.) becomes the current position address (HL).

After performing the addition process in the step of Sb37, the set value check process is performed (Sb38), and the set value currently set in the slot machine 1 is obtained in the A register. After that, by subtracting 1 from the value of the A register, the corrected value obtained by subtracting 1 from the current setting value is set in the A register as the added value (A) (Sb39).

Then, referring to the classification coefficient E set in the E register in steps Sb28 to Sb35 above, based on the value of the second predetermined bit of the data of the classification coefficient E, the search data acquired in step Sb27 It is determined whether or not the determination value data specified based on is the data of the set difference combination (Sb40). In step Sb40, it is determined whether or not the value of the second predetermined bit of the type coefficient E set in the E register is 1, and if the value of the second predetermined bit is 1, search data If the value of the second predetermined bit is not 1, it is determined that the determination value data is not data of a combination with a difference. . Then, when it is determined that the determination value data is data for a combination with a set difference, the determination value data is 2-byte data for a combination with a set difference based on the type coefficient E set in the E register. (Sb41). In step Sb41, it is determined whether or not the value of the first predetermined bit of the type coefficient E set in the E register is 1, and if the value of the first predetermined bit is 1, search data is determined to be 2-byte data, and if the value of the first predetermined bit is not 1, it is determined that the determination value data is not 2-byte data. Then, if it is determined that the determination value data is 2-byte data, the value set in the A register is added to the A register in step Sb39 to obtain the added value set in the A register (A ) is doubled (Sb42).

Then, in step Sb41, when it is determined that the determination value data is 2-byte data, in step Sb42, by adding the doubled addition value (A) to the HL register, the current position address is After advancing (HL) by the added value (A) (Sb43), the process proceeds to step Sb44, which will be described later. If it is determined in step Sb41 that the determination value data is not 2-byte data, the addition value (A) set in step Sb39 is added to the HL register to obtain the current position address (HL). is advanced by the added value (A) (Sb43), the process proceeds to step Sb44. On the other hand, in step Sb40, the value of the type coefficient E is less than 2, the value of the second predetermined bit set in the E register is not 1, and the determination value data specified based on the search data is the set difference. If it is determined that it is not the determination value data for a winning combination, that is, the determination value data is for a combination with no set difference, the process proceeds to step Sb44 without performing the processing of steps Sb41 to Sb43.

By adding the addition value (A) to the current position address (HL) in step Sb43, the addition value (A) is a value ( Since the set value -1) is set, in the case of a combination in which the determination value data fluctuates according to the set value, an address obtained by adding the search data value to the determination value table reference address (for example, address me , address mg, etc.), and a value corresponding to the set value (for example, when the set value is 6 and the determination value data is 1-byte data, the set value is 6 and the determination value is 6 for 5 addresses and the determination value If the data is 2-byte data, the address (for example, address me+5, address mg+10, etc.) to which 10 addresses are added is set as the current position address (HL), and the process proceeds to step Sb44. On the other hand, if it is determined in step Sb40 that the determination value data specified based on the search data is not the determination value data for the hand with set difference, and the process of step Sb43 is not performed, that is, if the determination value data is specified based on the search data If the determination value data is the determination value data for the combination with no set difference, the address obtained by adding the search data value to the determination value table reference address (for example, address ma, address mb, address mc, address md, etc.) is set as the current position address (HL), the process proceeds to step Sb44.

In step Sb44, the first predetermined bit of the data set in the E register is identifiably set in the flag register (for example, the value of the Z flag in the flag register is changed to the 0th bit of the data in the E register). (e.g., set to a value of ), part of the type coefficient E that can specify whether the judgment value data is 1-byte data or 2-byte data is saved. After that, the process proceeds to step Sb45, in which determination value data pre-stored in the memory area of the ROM 41b specified by the current position address (HL) set in step Sb37 or step Sb43 is obtained, and lottery determination data is acquired. is set in the E register as the first byte (lower byte) of (Sb45). Thereafter, based on the partial data of the type coefficient E saved in step Sb44, it is determined whether or not the determination value data is 1-byte data (Sb46). In step Sb46, if the type coefficient E set in steps Sb28 to Sb35 is 0 or 2 and the first predetermined bit of the saved type coefficient E is 0, it is identified based on the search data. Determining that the determination value data is 1-byte data, and determining that the determination value data specified based on the search data is not 1-byte data when the first predetermined bit of the saved type coefficient E is 1 do. If it is determined in step Sb46 that the determination value data is not 1-byte data, that is, if the determination value data is 2-byte data, 1 is added to the HL register to obtain the current position address (HL). is advanced by one (Sb47), the determination value data stored in advance in the storage area of the ROM 41b specified by the current position address (HL) is acquired, and the second byte (upper byte) of the lottery determination data is obtained. is set in the D register (Sb48), and the process proceeds to step Sb49. On the other hand, in step Sb46, the type coefficient E set in steps Sb28 to Sb35 is 0 or 2, the first predetermined bit of the saved type coefficient E is 0, and the determination value data is 1-byte data. If it is determined as such, the processing of steps Sb47 and Sb48 is not performed, and the process proceeds to step Sb49.

In step Sb49, the value of the D register is added to the upper byte of the IX register, and the value of the E register is added to the lower byte of the IX register, so that the random number for internal lottery and the data value for lottery determination are added. An internal lottery is performed after adding (Sb49). Also, during this addition, if the value of the IX register exceeds a predetermined number (65535 (decimal number), the maximum value that can be represented by 2 bytes) and an overflow occurs, the fact that the overflow has occurred is indicated. Set the flag register to be identifiable. On the other hand, when the value of the IX register does not exceed a predetermined number (65535 (decimal number), the maximum value that can be represented by two bytes) and no overflow occurs, it is possible to identify that the overflow has not occurred. set the flag register to

After adding the lottery determination data value to the internal lottery random number in step Sb49, the current position saved in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c in the last step of steps Sb15 or Sb20 is executed. The address (HL) is returned to the HL register (Sb50). As a result, the address of the storage area of the ROM 41b in which the search data of the current winning number (B) in the search data table is stored is again set in the HL register as the current position address (HL). . Also, in the above step Sb26, if it is determined that the lottery target combination corresponding to the current winning number (B) is not a lottery target in the internal lottery in the current game state, the process proceeds to step Sb50, and Sb15 or The current position address (HL) saved in step Sb20 is returned to the HL register.

After restoring the current position address (HL) that had been saved in step Sb50, the current lottery is determined based on the internal lottery random number to which the data for lottery determination has been added in step Sb49. It is determined whether or not the lottery target combination of number (B) has been won (Sb51). Here, when it is determined in step Sb26 that the lottery target combination of the current winning number (B) is the lottery target, after performing various processes in steps Sb27 to Sb49, the process proceeds to step Sb51. , In step Sb51, it is determined whether or not the winning combination of the current winning number (B) has been won based on the internal lottery random number to which the data for lottery determination has been added in step Sb49. . On the other hand, when it is determined in step Sb26 that the lottery target combination of the current winning number (B) is not a lottery target, the various processes in steps Sb27 to Sb49 are not performed, and the process advances to step Sb51. Based on the internal lottery random number to which the judgment data is not added, it is judged whether or not the lottery target combination of the current winning number (B) has been won.

In step Sb51, the flag register is referenced, and if it is specified that an overflow occurred when adding the values of the E and D registers to the XI register in step Sb49, that is, if the flag is set in the XI register If the internal lottery random number exceeds a predetermined number (in this embodiment, 65536 (decimal number, the maximum value that can be expressed in 2 bytes)) and the internal lottery random number overflows. determines that the lottery target combination of the current winning number (B) set in the B register has been won, and proceeds to step Sb55. On the other hand, in step Sb51, the flag register is referenced, and if it is specified that no overflow occurred when adding the values of the E and D registers to the XI register in step Sb49, that is, if the XI register The random number for the internal lottery after the data for lottery determination set in the . When the random number for the internal lottery does not overflow, it is determined that the lottery target combination of the current winning number (B) set in the B register is not won, and the process proceeds to step Sb52.

Then, in step Sb52, 1 is subtracted from the current winning number (B) by subtracting 1 from the value of the B register (Sb52). Then, it is determined whether or not the winning number (B) after subtraction in step Sb52 is 0 (Sb53).

In step Sb53, if it is determined that the winning number (B) after subtraction set in the B register is not 0, the above-mentioned step Sb13 is returned to, and the processing of steps Sb13 to Sb51 or Sb53 is repeated. conduct. On the other hand, in step Sb53, if it is determined that the winning number (B) after subtraction is 0, all winning numbers that can be drawn according to the game state currently being controlled (in this embodiment, non 1 to 48 during the BB, and 1 to 50 during the BB) were judged whether or not they were successful. And after setting the setting difference flag in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sb54), the process proceeds to step Sb55.

Then, in step Sb55, the value set in the B register is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c as the lottery result (Sb55). As a result, the winning number (B) (one of 1 to 50) when it is determined to be winning in the step of Sb51 or the winning number (B) after subtraction in the step of Sb53 (0 in case of losing) Set as the lottery result. After that, based on the winning result, the winning number of only the minor combination is acquired and set as the minor combination number in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sb56). For example, based on the lottery results, if a lottery target combination (for example, BB + middle stage cherry 1) is won, in which BB and a small combination are won at the same time, only the lottery target combination (for example, middle stage) is won. Cherry 1, etc.) is acquired and set as a minor combination number.

Then, it is determined whether or not the internal flag of the BB indicating that the winning of the BB is carried over is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sb57), and it is determined that the internal flag of the BB is not set. If so, it is determined whether or not BB has won based on the lottery result set in step Sb55 (Sb58). After setting in a predetermined area (Sb59) and setting a BB first hit flag that can be specified to the effect that the BB is won in the game and is transferred to the inside in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sb60), internal lottery processing is performed. Terminate and return to main processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that the internal flag is set in the step of Sb57, and if it is determined that the BB has not been elected in the step of Sb58, the internal Terminate the lottery process and return to the main process.

In this way, in the internal lottery process (Sa2), after the initial setting process (Sb1 to Sb12), a predetermined end condition (either it is determined that any of the lottery target roles has been won or all lottery target roles are selected by lottery ) is established, the common process of determining whether or not one lottery role is won is repeatedly executed as a loop process (Sb13 to Sb53) for each of a plurality of lottery roles.

In the initial setting process (Sb1 to Sb12), the winning number (48) is set for normal times and the winning number (50) is set for BB as different loop counts according to the game state.

In addition, in the initial setting process (Sb1 to Sb12), based on the initial address specifying data (search data table initial address specifying data 1, 2), the first lottery target combination (normally, the lottery target combination of combination number 48, BB The initial current position address (HL) is the address one address before the address (address nc in BB, address nd in normal time) that specifies the search data corresponding to the lottery winning combination of winning number 50 in the middle. set.

In this embodiment, as the initial address specifying data (search data table initial address specifying data 1 and 2), from the address of the area in which the initial address specifying data is stored, to the top of the search data table according to the game state. A difference value is set up to the address immediately before the address where the data is specified. By adding the difference value to the current position address (HL), the initial current position address (HL) in the loop processing is , an address one address before the address (address nc, address nd) specifying the top data of the search data table corresponding to the game state is set. A difference value is set from the address of the area where the data is stored to the address where the top data of the search data table corresponding to the game state is specified, and the difference value is added to the current position address (HL) and 1 By subtracting, as the initial current position address (HL) in the loop processing, the address one address before the address (address nc, address nd) specifying the top data of the search data table corresponding to the game state is obtained. A configuration to be set may also be used.

In the initial setting process (Sb1 to Sb12), a random number for internal lottery is set in the IX register (Sd12).

In the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), the current position address (HL) is updated so as to advance by one address, and the lottery target combination of the predetermined combination number is won using the search data specified from the updated address. It is determined whether or not

In addition, in the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), the winning combination numbers (winning numbers) of the lottery winning combination to be the target of the internal lottery are updated in a predetermined order (in descending order of the winning combination number). Different lottery target hands are set according to the game state (BB, normal) as the lottery target role of (BB, normal). .

In addition, in the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), when the current position address (HL) is updated by one address, the updated address is saved and then stored in the current position address (HL) as the next processing. The process proceeds to a process of determining whether or not the search data present is a variable hand in which the determination value data varies according to the gaming state (RT0 to RT4).

In addition, in the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), at least one of whether or not the value specified from the updated current position address (HL) is subject to lottery according to the game state (RT0 to 4) or the winning probability is It is determined whether or not there is variable flag data (FF) indicating a different variable combination. ), and if it is not changed flag data (FF), common processing for all lottery target roles (whether or not the corresponding lottery target or not).

In addition, in the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), if the lottery target is a winning combination with a variation in at least one of whether or not to be the lottery target according to the gaming state (RT0 to 4) or the winning probability is different, the current It is determined whether the state value corresponding to the game state (RT0-4) is within a predetermined range (0-4), and if it is not within the predetermined range, a specific state value (RT0) within the predetermined range to correct. A specific state value (RT0) is a game state that is disadvantageous to the player.

In the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), in the case of a variable hand, based on the search data stored in the area of the ROM 41b to which the address specified from the state value corresponding to the current game state is assigned, the search is performed. When the data is greater than 0, it is determined that the variable combination is for the lottery, and when the retrieved data is 0, the variable combination is determined not to be the lottery. determines whether or not is a lottery target.

In the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), if it is a variable combination, it is determined whether or not the variable combination is eligible for the lottery. 1 is subtracted from the value of the B register without performing the process of determining whether or not there is an overflow by adding the winning determination data for the variable hand, that is, the process of determining whether or not the variable hand is won. By determining whether or not the value obtained is 0, it is determined whether or not there are any undetermined lottery targets remaining. step), and if there are no undetermined lottery targets remaining, the loop processing is terminated.

Further, in the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), search data is acquired from the updated address area, and the acquired search data is a value indicating a 1-byte area of the judgment value data table, or a value indicating a 2-byte area of the judgment value data table. A different type coefficient E is set depending on whether the value indicates the area, and depending on the set type coefficient E, 1-byte judgment value data is acquired and set in the E register, or 2-byte judgment Perform one of the processes of acquiring value data and setting it in the DE register. In the internal lottery process, after the loop process, when the determination value data used for determining whether or not the lottery object is to be won is acquired from the determination value data table, the set type coefficient E The processing (Sb41 to Sb43) is changed accordingly.

Further, in the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), search data is obtained from the area of the updated current position address (HL), and the obtained search data is a value indicating an area with setting difference or an area without setting difference. A different value of the type coefficient E is set in the E register. In the internal lottery process, after the loop process, when the determination value data is acquired from the determination value data table according to the type coefficient E, processing is performed according to the set type coefficient E (Sb40 to Sb43). be different.

In addition, in the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), when the search data is the data of the combination with no set difference and is a value indicating the 1-byte area of the judgment value data table, the type coefficient E is 0 (binary notation "00 ”) is set, and when the search data is the data of the combination with no set difference and is a value indicating the 2-byte area of the judgment value data table, 1 (“01” in binary notation) is set, and the search data is set When the data of the difference combination is a value indicating the 1-byte area of the judgment value data table, 2 ("10" in binary notation) is set, and the search data is the data of the set combination combination and the judgment value data. If the value indicates a 2-byte area of the table, 3 (“11” in binary notation) is set. As a result, in the type coefficient E, a value corresponding to whether the area is a 1-byte area or a 2-byte area is set in the 1st bit. A value corresponding to is set in the second bit.

In addition, in the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), the type coefficient E is set in the E register, and then the determination value data acquired from the determination value data table when determining whether or not the lottery target combination is won is stored in D. register and E register. That is, the type coefficient E is set in the same E register as the register in which the judgment value data is set.

Further, in the loop processing (Sb13 to Sb53), it is determined that the lottery target combination of the combination number indicated by the winning number (B) is won based on the search data specified from the updated current position address (HL). Acquire determination value data indicating a determination value, add the acquired determination value data and the random number value obtained in the initial setting process, and if the addition result exceeds the range of the random value, the winning number (B) If the result of addition does not exceed the range of the random number, the winning number (B) is updated, and the updated winning number (B) is the end value (0). If the updated winning number (B) is not the end value, the process proceeds to the beginning of the loop processing. Decide that you will not be elected (losing).

The winning number determined in the internal lottery process includes the combination number of the lottery target combination that is allowed to win, and the number (0) corresponding to the loss that is not allowed to occur in any of the lottery target combinations. include.

In addition, the lottery target hands to be selected in the internal lottery process include a combination with a set difference in which the percentage of winning is different according to the set value, and a combination with no set difference in which the percentage of winning is the same regardless of the set value. include.

Further, in the internal lottery process, in the stage of determining the winning number, if the winning number is the combination number of the winning combination with a set difference, a loss and a set difference indicating that the lottery target combination with a set difference is won or lost. A presence flag is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c.

Further, in the internal lottery process, in the stage of determining the winning number, if the winning number is a loss in which no lottery target role is won, it is indicated that a lottery target role with a set difference has been won or lost. It sets the flags of failure and setting difference in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c.

Further, in the internal lottery process, it is determined whether the lottery target combination is a combination with a set difference in which the percentage of winning is different according to the set value, or whether it is a combination with no set difference in which the percentage of winning is the same regardless of the set value. Accordingly, processing for setting the type coefficient E is performed. Then, when setting the type coefficient E, when it is determined that there is a setting difference and the type coefficient E (2, 3) is set, in order to select the determination value data according to the set value While advancing the current position address, if it is a no set difference hand, the process is not performed. Different processing is performed when it is determined that there is.

In the internal lottery process, when performing the process of setting the type coefficient E, it is determined whether or not the combination is a combination with no difference. When it is determined whether or not the winning combination is a winning combination with no set difference, and when it is determined that there is no set difference, a loss and flag with a setting difference are set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. It's like

In addition, in the internal lottery process, it is sequentially determined whether or not all the predetermined lottery-targeted hands have been won. If it is determined that it has not, it is determined to be a loss, and a predetermined value (0 in this embodiment) is set as the winning number. Then, when the process of determining whether or not all of the lottery target roles have been won is completed, and it is determined that all of the lottery target roles have not been won, a flag of loss and setting difference is set. It has become.

In addition, in the internal lottery process, when a special combination (BB) is won, an internal middle flag that can specify that the BB is being carried over and a BB first win flag that can specify that the BB has won in the game is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. Then, when the game ends, the BB first hit flag is cleared, and when the winning BB wins, the internal middle flag is cleared.

In this embodiment, the lottery type set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is initialized at the start of the internal lottery process, but the lottery type is initialized before the lottery type setting process is started. For example, the lottery type may be initialized in the game start waiting process performed at the start of the game, the setting process at the end of the game performed at the end of the previous game, or the like.

In the internal lottery process, Sb13 to Sb53 are executed until it is determined in step Sb51 that the lottery target combination being selected has been won, or until it is determined that the value of the B register is 0 in step Sb53. Loop processing is performed by repeating each process. Also, in step Sb8, the maximum value of the winning combination numbers of the lottery winning combination during non-BB or during BB is set in the B register as the winning number (B). It is decremented one by one. As a result, the loop processing is repeatedly performed with the value of the B register as the maximum number of times, and the winning number (B) set in the B register becomes the remaining maximum number of times of the loop processing.

In the internal lottery process, when it is determined that the lottery is won in step Sb51, the lottery number (B) set in the B register at that time is set as the lottery result. The winning number (B) and the winning combination number of the lottery target combination are designed to match. It is set that the lottery object combination of number 48, that is, cherry 1 in the middle stage has been won in the internal lottery.

In addition, in the determination value data table storing determination value data (hereinafter sometimes referred to as determination value number) used for determining the winning combination in the internal lottery, the determination value data is determined for each lottery target combination. , and are stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 41b in descending order of the winning combination numbers pre-assigned to each winning combination to be selected.

Specifically, in the data structure of the judgment value data, the data of the judgment value determined for the category with no set difference and the data of the judgment value determined for the category with the set difference are divided. there is For example, the judgment value data for lottery winning combinations with set differences (for example, 14, 27, 28, 30, 33, and 34) are separated from the judgment value data for other combinations with no set differences. there is In this way, the location of the determination value data is divided according to the presence or absence of the setting difference.

Of the judgment value data defined for the role of the no set difference category, judgment value data that fits in 1 byte data (1 byte data without set difference) and judgment that does not fit in 1 byte data but fits in 2 byte data It is separated from the value data (2-byte data without setting difference). Note that the number of determination values corresponding to 1-byte data is 256. Therefore, the lottery winning combination for which the number of judgment values exceeding 256 is determined is arranged in the 2-byte data. For example, a middle cherry 1 whose number of judgment values (for example, 4) fits in 1-byte data is arranged in 1-byte data. On the other hand, the left bell 1 of the judgment value number (for example, 1149, etc.) which does not fit in 1-byte data but fits in 2-byte data is arranged in 2-byte data. In this way, the decision value data is arranged in different locations depending on whether there is a setting difference and the size of the byte data.

Further, in the 1-byte data with no setting difference, the determination value data is collected for the lottery target combination for which the same number of determination values is determined. For example, for middle cherries 1 and 2 for which the same number of determination values (for example, 4) is determined, the data of the determination values are grouped. Further, in the 1-byte data without setting difference, the data of the determination value determined for each lottery target combination is stored in descending order of the number of the combination number. For example, in the 1-byte data with no set difference, the data of the judgment values are arranged in the order of the middle cherry 1 of the combination number 48 and the middle cherry 2 of the combination number 47 . In addition, in the 2-byte data with no setting difference, the determination value data is grouped for the lottery target combination for which the same number of determination values is determined. For example, the lottery target roles (eg, left bell 1 to 4, middle bell 1 to 4, right bell 1 to 4, etc.) for which the same judgment value number (for example, 1149 etc.) are determined are summarized. It is In this way, among the lottery-targeted combinations with no setting difference, the lottery-targeted combinations having the same determination value are grouped together. Further, in the 2-byte data without setting difference, the data of the determination value determined for each lottery target combination is stored in descending order of the combination number. For example, in the 2-byte data with no setting difference, the data of the judgment value are arranged in the order of the left bell 1 of the winning combination number 26 and the left bell 2 of the winning combination number 25 .

Among the judgment value data determined for the lottery target role with set difference, the judgment value data that fits in 1 byte data (1 byte data with set difference), and the judgment value that does not fit in 1 byte data but fits in 2 byte data It is separated from value data (2-byte data with setting difference). For example, the BBs of the number of determination values (for example, 22 to 69) corresponding to each setting value that fits in 1-byte data are arranged in 1-byte data. Further, in the 1-byte data with setting difference, the data of the judgment value determined for each lottery target combination is stored in descending order of the combination number. For example, in the 1-byte data with setting difference, data of judgment values are arranged in the order of BB of combination number 34, BB of combination number 33+High Cherry 2, and so on. Also, the number of determination values (eg, 3074 to 4254, etc.) corresponding to each setting value that does not fit in 1-byte data but fits in 2-byte data is arranged in 2-byte data. Further, in the 2-byte data with setting difference, the data of the determination values determined for each lottery target combination are stored in descending order of the combination numbers. For example, in the 2-byte data with setting difference, data of judgment values are arranged in the order of bell with combination number 27 and one-piece combination with combination number 14 . In this way, among the lottery target hands with setting differences, the lottery target hands with the same number of judgment values are put together, and furthermore, the lottery target hands are determined in descending order of the number of the lottery number, and the judgment value data is stored. there is

[Regarding lottery type and lottery type setting process]
Next, the control contents of the lottery type setting process performed by the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment and the lottery type set by the lottery type setting process will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 19. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 17, the lottery types set by the main control unit 41 include lottery types 0-4. The lottery type 0 is data that can specify that the lottery result of the internal lottery is a combination with a set difference, and that the combination is not subject to the lottery related to the advantageous section (advantageous section lottery, AT lottery), and the set difference. , and can be given to a lottery target combination that does not include an advantageous section lottery/AT lottery (see FIG. 7). The lottery type 1 is data that can specify that the lottery result of the internal lottery is a combination with no set difference and that the combination is not subject to the lottery related to the advantageous section (advantageous section lottery, AT lottery), It can be given to a lottery target combination that has no setting difference and does not have an advantageous section lottery/AT lottery (see FIG. 7). In addition, lottery type 2 can specify that the lottery result of the internal lottery is a combination with no set difference, and that the lottery related to the advantageous section (advantageous section lottery, AT lottery) is performed with a low probability α. It is data, there is no setting difference, and it can be given to a predetermined lottery target combination in the first group among combinations with an advantageous section lottery/AT lottery (see FIG. 7). In addition, the lottery type 3 is a target where the lottery result of the internal lottery is a combination with no set difference, and the lottery related to the advantageous section (advantageous section lottery, AT lottery) is performed with a medium probability β (higher probability than the low probability α). It is data that can specify that it is a combination, and is given to a predetermined lottery target combination in the second group among combinations with no set difference and with an advantageous section lottery/AT lottery (see Fig. 7). can be In the lottery 4, the lottery result of the internal lottery is a combination with no set difference, and the lottery related to the advantageous section (advantageous section lottery, AT lottery) has a high probability γ (higher probability than the low probability α and the medium probability β ) is the data that can identify the target combination to be played in the ), and there is no setting difference, and it is a predetermined 3rd group lottery target combination among the combination with advantageous zone lottery / AT lottery (see Fig. 7). can be granted to

Further, the main control unit 41 can set the lottery types 1 to 4 in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. When it is determined that is established, the lottery type setting process described later is performed, and the lottery type is updated to a predetermined value (1 to 4) by the lottery type setting process, while the lottery type setting process is executed. If it is determined that the condition is not met, the lottery type setting process is not performed and the lottery type is not updated, so that the initial value (0) remains.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, in the lottery type setting process, first, after acquiring the winning number set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c in the internal lottery process (Sa2) in the main process (Sc1 ), a lottery type selection process is performed (Sc2), and a predetermined lottery type value (one of 1 to 4) corresponding to the winning number is specified and selected using the lottery type table. Then, the value selected by the lottery type selection process is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c as the lottery type during the game (Sc3). After that, the lottery type setting process is ended, and the process returns to the main process.

As shown in FIG. 19(a), in the lottery type table used in the lottery type selection process, the lottery types (1 to 4) corresponding to the winning numbers of the combination with no set difference are defined, based on the winning numbers. It is possible to specify the corresponding lottery type. For example, if the winning numbers are 50, 49, 32, 31, 29, 26-15, and 13-1, the lottery type 1 can be specified based on these winning numbers. Further, when the winning numbers are 45, 44, 41 to 38, the lottery type 2 can be specified based on these winning numbers. If the winning numbers are 46, 43, 42, and 35, the lottery type 3 can be specified based on these winning numbers. If the winning numbers are 48, 47, 37, and 36, the lottery type 4 can be specified based on these winning numbers.

As a result, by performing the lottery type setting process, if the internal lottery process does not set the loss and setting difference flag, that is, if the lottery result of the internal lottery is a combination with no setting difference (see FIG. 7), the internal The lottery types 1 to 4 are set according to the winning number of the lottery target role that has been won in the lottery.

On the other hand, as described above, if the lost and set difference flags are set by the internal lottery process, that is, if the lottery result of the internal lottery is a set difference combination (see FIG. 7), and no combination is won. If the result is a loss, the lottery type setting process is not performed, so regardless of the winning number (including loss) of the lottery target role won in the internal lottery, the lottery type is set to step Sb1 of the internal lottery process. remains the value (0) when it was initialized in .

FIG. 19(b) shows the result of lottery type assignment by the main control unit 41 performing the lottery type setting process and not performing the lottery type setting process based on whether or not the loss and setting difference flags are set.

As shown in FIG. 19(b), by performing the lottery type setting process based on whether or not the loss and setting difference flag is set and not performing the process, the lottery target that is the setting difference combination The lottery type remains the initial value (0) for the combination (winning numbers: 34, 33, 30, 28, 27, 14) and losing (winning number: 0). In addition, 1 is set as the lottery type for the lottery target wins of the first group (winning numbers: 50, 49, 32, 31, 29, 26-15, 13-1) among the set no difference wins. . In addition, 2 is set as the lottery type for the lottery object combinations (winning numbers: 45, 44, 41 to 38) of the second group among the combinations with no set difference. In addition, 3 is set as the lottery type for the lottery target wins (winning numbers: 46, 43, 42, 35) in the third group among the wins with no set difference. In addition, 4 is set as the lottery type for the lottery object combinations (winning numbers: 48, 47, 37, and 36) in the fourth group among the combinations with no set difference.

In this way, in the lottery type setting process, it is possible to update the lottery type to a value corresponding to the winning number. , Advantageous section lottery, lottery types 2 to 4 indicating that AT lottery will be performed. Further, the lottery type 0 indicates a set combination, and the lottery types 1 to 4 indicate a non-set combination.

The lottery types 0 to 4 include lottery types corresponding to a plurality of types of winning numbers, and in the lottery type setting process, a lottery type with a common value can be set for a plurality of winning numbers. .

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can specify whether or not the winning combination for which the advantageous section lottery and the AT lottery are performed is based on the lottery type, and the advantageous section process (Sb7) and the AT lottery process ( In Sb8), if the player is identified as being eligible for an advantageous section lottery or AT lottery based on the set lottery type, an advantageous section lottery or AT lottery is conducted, and winning the lottery results in an advantageous section. It is a configuration to shift or control to AT, but based on the lottery type, specify the content of control related to the advantageous section, such as whether to shift to the advantageous section or whether to add the number of games to be controlled to the advantageous section. It is possible, and the main control unit 41 may be configured to directly control the advantageous section based on the lottery type.

For example, as shown in FIG. 20, the lottery type includes 0 to 4, etc., and the lottery type 0 is a combination with a set difference, specifying that it is a combination that is controlled so as not to perform control related to the advantageous section. Lottery type 1 is a combination with no set difference, data that can specify that it is a combination that controls not to perform control related to the advantageous section, and lottery type 2 is data that can be specified as a combination with no set difference. If it is not shifted to the advantageous section, it is controlled to shift to the advantageous section, while if it is shifted to the advantageous section and is controlled by AT, the number of games controlled by AT is added. Data that can be specified to the effect that it is a combination that is controlled not to prevent it, and lottery type 3 is a combination with no set difference, and if it is not shifted to an advantageous section, it is controlled to shift to an advantageous section. , when the AT is controlled by the AT in the advantageous section, data that can be specified to the effect that the number of games to be controlled by the AT is increased. If it is not shifted to the advantageous section, it is controlled to shift to the advantageous section, while if it is shifted to the advantageous section and is controlled by the AT, the number of games to be controlled by the AT is determined by lottery. In various processes after setting the lottery type as data that can specify that it is a combination that controls to add more than type 3, the main control unit 41 controls the advantageous section based on the lottery type. Configuration is fine. With such a configuration, it is possible to determine whether or not there is a transition to the advantageous section and to determine the number of games to be controlled by the AT only by an internal lottery, thereby simplifying the control of the advantageous section.

For example, as shown in FIG. 22, the main control unit 41 acquires (Za2) a winning number determined by an internal lottery (Za1), and determines whether or not the winning number is a winning combination with a set difference or a losing number. (Za3), and if it is not a winning number with a set difference or a loss, a lottery setting process is performed (Za4 to Za6) to set the lottery types 1 to 4, while a set difference or a loss is set. If it is a winning number, set the lottery type 0 (Za7), then perform the advantageous section process (Za8) and the AT lottery process (Za9), so that the advantageous section lottery and AT are performed based on the lottery types 0 to 4 In a configuration where a lottery is performed, the lottery type 0 is set directly based on the winning number of the combination with set difference or the loss, and the advantageous section process and the AT lottery process are performed.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the internal lottery process, the lottery type is initialized to 0 at the start of the process. If there is, or if none of the lottery target roles are won, a losing and setting difference flag is set. If not, the lottery type setting process is performed to update the value of the lottery type to the value corresponding to the winning number, and if the flag is set, the lottery type setting process is not performed. The value of the lottery type is set to the initial value (0) regardless of the winning number. In such a configuration, if the lottery result of the internal lottery is a winning combination (including losing) with a different percentage of winnings according to the set value, the losing and setting difference flags are set. Control is performed so that the lottery type setting process is not performed, and the value of the lottery type is left as the initial value (0), so that the ratio of winning (including losing) differs according to the set value based on the winning number. It is possible to prevent the lottery type from being set.

[Regarding modification of search data table]
Next, a modified example of the search data table of the internal lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.

In the search data table of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21(a), the search data for one variable combination (for example, the lottery target combination of combination numbers 6 and 13) is the lottery in the corresponding gaming state. Search data for each game state is stored for all game states (RT 0 to 4) regardless of whether or not they are targeted, and search data for the number of game states is stored for each variable combination. It is a configuration that is On the other hand, as a modified example of the retrieval data table, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to store only the search data in the game state to be selected by lottery without storing the search data. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the capacity of the search data table by not storing the search data in the gaming state that is not subject to the lottery for the variable combination.

In addition, in the search data of the variable hand in the search data table of the present embodiment, when the value is 0, it indicates that the corresponding game state is not subject to lottery, and when the value is 1 or more, is the target of the lottery in the gaming state, and is a configuration that indicates a difference value that can specify the judgment value data, and can specify whether or not the target of the lottery in the corresponding gaming state is based on the value of the search data Configuration. On the other hand, in the search data table, data of a data length that can be stored in an address area of 1, and a value of a predetermined bit indicates in which game state the corresponding variable combination is to be selected by lottery. By setting the lottery target determination flag data (see FIGS. 21(b) and (c)) that can be specified based on each variable combination, a lottery is performed in the corresponding gaming state based on the lottery target determination flag data. The configuration may be such that it is possible to specify whether or not the target of the Even with such a configuration, it is possible to determine whether or not a lottery will be made in the game state currently being controlled, based on the data in the search data table.

For the lottery object determination flag data for a predetermined variable combination, for example, as shown in FIGS. A value indicating whether or not the lottery is targeted for RT4, RT3, RT2, and RT1 (1 if targeted for lottery, 0 if not targeted for lottery) is set in advance and stored in a search data table. Then, when it is determined whether or not the variable combination is the object of the lottery in the current gaming state, the lottery object determination flag data is rotated a predetermined number of times according to the current RT. (If the calculated value obtained by subtracting the current RT value from the maximum RT value (4) and adding 1 exceeds the maximum RT value (4), the calculated value will be the maximum value 0 times. (4) If it is less than or equal to, the number of times for the calculated value) is performed to obtain a determination flag that can specify whether or not the current RT is a lottery target, and based on the determination flag It is possible to determine whether or not the item is eligible for the lottery at the current RT.

As shown in FIG. 21(c), the rotate process acquires the value of the leftmost bit in the target data to be processed (lottery target determination flag data) as a determination flag, and rotates the target data to the left. This is a process of shifting by 1 bit and updating the value set in the original determination flag to the value shifted to the rightmost bit of the target data. By repeating the rotation process for the target data for a predetermined number of times, the values of bits for a predetermined value from the left of the original target data (for example, when the rotation process is performed three times, the left 3rd bit value) is acquired as a judgment value flag. Then, in the target data, the value of each bit of the original target data is shifted to the left by a predetermined value, and the values set in the judgment value flag at each processing are sequentially shifted to the right of the original target data. will be updated to the specified value. Note that the rotation process determination flag is set in a predetermined bit of the F register.

For example, in a state where "0" is set as the value of the judgment flag, if the 1-byte data "00100000" is used as the original target data and the rotation process is performed, the value of each bit of the original target data is moved to the left. The target data is updated to "01000000" by shifting by one bit and adding the value of the determination flag to the rightmost bit (first bit). Also, the value of the determination flag is updated to the value "0" of the leftmost bit (8th bit) of the original target data. When the rotation process is further performed, the same process as described above is performed on the target data updated by the previous rotation process. It will be updated to "10000000". Then, by performing the third rotation process on the original target data "00100000", the data "1" at the 6th bit from the right of the original target data can be taken out as a determination flag.

As shown in FIG. 21(b), in the retrieval data table, lottery object determination flag data corresponding to one variable combination is stored in a predetermined address area, and the lottery object determination flag data is stored. The search data of the variable combination in the game state to be the lottery are stored in the order of RT0, RT4, RT3, RT2, RT1 in the area of each address after the address where the lottery is located, and internal lottery processing is performed. , when the lottery object determination flag data is specified from the current position address (HL), the lottery object determination flag data is read into a predetermined register, and the lottery object determination flag data is rotated. By performing a predetermined number of times according to the current RT, a determination flag corresponding to the current RT can be acquired, and it is possible to specify whether or not it is a lottery target. In addition, when the rotation process is performed a predetermined number of times according to the current RT, each time the determination flag becomes a value (1) indicating that the lottery is targeted, the current position address (HL) is advanced by 1 and When the rotation process for the number of times is completed, when the determination flag is a value (1) indicating that the lottery is targeted, by acquiring the data of the area specified based on the current position address (HL), It is possible to obtain the search data at the current RT for the predetermined variable combination.

[Effect 1]
Most of the conventional game machines have a configuration in which a lottery is performed in relation to a game, such as whether or not to control the state of a big win, whether or not to allow the occurrence of a winning prize, and the like. In a gaming machine with such a configuration, a lottery related to a game is always performed at least for each game unit, and suitable processing is required.

On the other hand, the slot machine 1, which is the gaming machine of the present embodiment, can perform an internal lottery process for determining one of a plurality of lottery-targeted roles (including losing) as a winning. It is possible, and in the internal lottery process, after the initial setting process, until a predetermined end condition (determine that one of the lottery-targeted roles has been won or draw lots for all the lottery-targeted roles) is satisfied. A common process for determining whether or not one lottery target combination is to be won is repeatedly executed as a loop process for each of a plurality of lottery target combinations.

According to this configuration, when one of a plurality of lottery-targeted roles is determined to be a winning lottery-targeted role, the common process of determining whether or not to determine one lottery-targeted role is performed as a loop process, and a predetermined end is performed. Since it suffices to repeat execution until the conditions are met, the program capacity can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the slot machine 1 is used as the gaming machine, but as the gaming machine, a game is played by shooting game balls into the game area, and for example, whether or not a big win is achieved by winning a game ball or the like. You may apply the pachinko game machine which has the structure which determines any determination object from several determination objects, such as the structure which determines.

Also, in this embodiment, the end condition of the loop processing is that the loop processing for all the lottery-targeted hands to be selected in the internal lottery is completed, or that a lottery-targeted hand with a predetermined number is won in the loop processing. Although it is applied that it is determined that it is, it is also possible to apply only one of them as a termination condition.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the internal lottery process, after the initial setting process, a predetermined end condition (determine that any of the lottery-targeted roles has been won or draw lots for all the lottery-targeted roles) is satisfied. A loop process is repeatedly executed for each of a plurality of lottery-targeted hands until it is established. In the loop process, the current position address (HL) is updated so as to advance by one address, and search data specified from the updated address is retrieved. In the initial setting process, the first lottery target combination (normally, the lottery target combination of combination number 48, and during BB, combination number 50 The address one address before the address (address nc in BB, address nd in normal time) specifying the search data corresponding to the lottery target combination) is set as the initial current position address (HL). .

According to this configuration, in the initial setting process, an address one address before the address specifying the search data corresponding to the first lottery target combination is set as the initial current position address (HL). After processing, in both the first loop processing and the second and subsequent loop processing, search data used for determination in the loop processing is specified from an address obtained by updating the current position address (HL) by one address. After the initial setting process, the processing contents do not have to be changed between the first loop processing and the second and subsequent loop processing.

In this embodiment, in the loop processing of the internal lottery processing, the current position address (HL) is updated by one address, and the lottery target combination of the predetermined combination number is selected using the search data specified from the updated address. In the loop processing of the internal lottery process, the value of the predetermined combination number of the lottery target combination for determining whether or not to be won, and the remaining number of repetitions of the loop processing. It is also possible to update the value by a certain value and determine whether or not the lottery target combination of the corresponding predetermined combination number is to be won using the search data specified from the updated value. Also in this configuration, in the initial setting process, after setting a value a certain value before the value for specifying the search data corresponding to the first lottery target role as an initial value, in each loop process, the search data By updating the value for specifying by a constant value, the search data can be specified both in the first loop process after the initialization process and in the second and subsequent loop processes. After the initial setting process, the processing contents do not need to be changed between the first loop processing and the second and subsequent loop processing.

Further, in this embodiment, the current position address (HL) is updated by one address in the loop processing of the internal lottery process, but it may be updated by a plurality of addresses.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the internal lottery processing loop processing, search data is specified based on the updated current position address (HL), and the corresponding lottery is determined based on the judgment value data specified using the search data. The internal lottery process is not limited to specifying search data from the updated current position address (HL), and whether or not at least a predetermined lottery object combination has been won. Any configuration may be used as long as the data used to determine whether or not is specified from the updated current location address (HL). For example, the configuration may be such that determination value data, winning numbers, etc. are applied as data used for determination. As a configuration for applying determination value data as data used for determination, for example, the determination value data used for determination is directly specified from the updated current position address (HL), and based on the determination value data, the corresponding lottery target role is selected. It may be determined whether or not the lottery has been won, or as a configuration in which the winning number is applied as the data used for determination, for example, the winning number of the lottery target role to be drawn from the updated current position address (HL) is specified, and it is determined whether or not the winning number is subject to the lottery in the currently controlled game state, and if it is not subject to the lottery in the current game state, the lottery target role corresponding to the winning number is not won. It is also possible to adopt a configuration for judging that it is not.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can be controlled to a plurality of game states (BB, normal) in which at least some of the lottery target hands to be lottered in the internal lottery are different. , updates the lottery winning combination numbers (winning numbers) of the internal lottery winning combination in a predetermined order (in descending order of the winning combination number), and in the initial setting process, the game state (BB , normal), a different lottery object combination (lottery object lottery number 48 during normal time, lottery object lottery number 50 during BB) is set.

According to this configuration, by setting a different lottery target combination according to the game state as the first lottery target combination in the initial setting process, it is possible to control a plurality of game states with different lottery target combinations.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can be controlled to a plurality of gaming states (BB, normal) in which at least some of the lottery target hands to be selected by the internal lottery are different. In the setting process, the loop process is repeatedly executed within the range of the winning number (B) set in the B register. The winning number (50) is set in the middle.

According to this configuration, in the initial setting process, by setting a different number of loops according to the game state, it is possible to control to a plurality of game states with different lottery target hands.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is capable of performing an internal lottery process for determining one of a plurality of lottery-targeted roles (including losing) as a winning. , loop processing is repeatedly executed until a predetermined end condition (determining that one of the lottery-targeted roles has been won or drawing lots for all the lottery-targeted roles) is established after the initial setting process, In the loop processing, when the current position address (HL) is updated by one address, after saving the updated address, as the next processing, the search data stored in the current position address (HL) is returned to the game state ( In this configuration, the judgment value data fluctuates according to RT0-4), and the process proceeds to the process of judging whether or not it is a variable hand.

According to this configuration, in the next loop process, it is possible to update the address based on the address updated and saved in the current loop process.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is capable of performing an internal lottery process for determining any one of a plurality of lottery-targeted roles (including losing) as a winning. , after the initial setting process, the loop processing is repeatedly executed until a predetermined end condition (determine that one of the lottery-targeted roles has been won or draw lots for all the lottery-targeted roles) is satisfied; The plurality of lottery-targeted hands include variable hands in which at least one of whether or not they are subject to lottery or winning probability differs according to the gaming state (RT0-4), and in the loop process, the updated current position address (HL) is flag data (FF) with fluctuation, and if it is flag data with fluctuation (FF), a process specific to the fluctuating hand (current If it is not changed flag data (FF), common processing for all lottery target roles (determine whether or not the corresponding lottery target role has been won). process).

According to this configuration, by referring to the change flag data (FF) specified from the updated current position address (HL), in addition to specifying the search data corresponding to the lottery target combination, the game state (RT0 4), it is possible to specify whether or not to be a lottery target or at least one of the winning probabilities to be a variable combination, and change the destination of the process.

In this embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured to repeat the loop processing with the winning number set in the B register in the initial setting processing of the internal lottery processing as the remaining number of repetition loops. It is determined whether or not the value specified by the current position address (HL) is change flag data (FF). processing for specifying search data corresponding to the current gaming state for variable hands), and if it is not variable flag data (FF), common processing for all lottery winning hands In the slot machine 1, as in this embodiment, the search data corresponding to each lottery target combination are arranged in descending order of the combination number in the internal lottery table. In addition, in a configuration in which all variable hands as lottery-targeted hands are arranged within a predetermined range of hand numbers (1 to 13 in this embodiment) (see FIG. 13), in the loop process, the internal lottery Loop processing is repeatedly executed within the range of the number of loops (winning numbers) set in the B register in the initial setting processing of the processing, and the remaining number of loops is within a specific number of times range corresponding to the range of predetermined combination numbers (for example, 1 to 13 times, etc.), and if it is within the specified number of times, it shifts to processing specific to the variable combination, and if it is not within the specified number of times, it is common to all lottery winning combinations. A configuration for transitioning to processing may also be used. Even with such a configuration, the slot machine 1 refers to the remaining number of loop times (the winning number in the B register) in the loop processing of the internal lottery processing to specify that the target of the lottery is a variable combination. , the destination of processing can be changed. Also, by referring to the remaining number of loops (winning number in the B register), it is possible to specify that it is a variable combination, so it is possible to set the variable flag data (FF) in the internal lottery table. Done, the capacity of the internal lottery table can be reduced.

In addition, in the internal lottery table, the search data corresponding to each lottery target combination are arranged in descending order of the combination number, and all variable combinations as the lottery combination are below a predetermined combination number (for example, 13 or less). In the arranged configuration, it is determined whether the remaining number of loops of the loop processing in the internal lottery process is a specific number of times or less (for example, 13 times or less) corresponding to a predetermined combination number, and if it is a specific number or less In some cases, the process may be shifted to a process specific to the variable combination, and if it is not equal to or less than a specific number of times, the process may be shifted to a process common to all the lottery-targeted combinations. In such a configuration, it is only necessary to determine whether the remaining number of loops in loop processing is equal to or less than a specific number of times. As described above, the processing load can be reduced compared to the configuration in which the processing at the migration destination is changed based on whether or not the remaining number of loops is within the range of the specific number of times.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to perform an internal lottery process for determining one of a plurality of lottery-targeted roles (including losing) as a winning. , after the initial setting process, the loop processing is repeatedly executed until a predetermined end condition (determine that one of the lottery-targeted roles has been won or draw lots for all the lottery-targeted roles) is satisfied; The plurality of lottery-targeted hands includes variable hands in which at least one of whether or not to be the lottery target or the winning probability differs depending on the game state (RT0-4), and the state value (0-4) within a predetermined range is the game. It is assigned corresponding to the state (RT), and in loop processing, when the lottery target is a variable combination, the state value corresponding to the current game state (RT0-4) is within a predetermined range (0-4). It is configured to determine whether or not there is, and correct to a specific state value (RT0) within the predetermined range if it is not within the predetermined range.

According to this configuration, even if the state value of the game state (RT0-4) is rewritten to a value outside the predetermined range for some reason, the state value is corrected to be within the predetermined range, so unintended processing is performed. can be prevented.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is capable of performing an internal lottery process for determining any one of a plurality of lottery-targeted roles (including losing) as a winning. , after the initial setting process, the loop processing is repeatedly executed until a predetermined end condition (determine that one of the lottery-targeted roles has been won or draw lots for all the lottery-targeted roles) is satisfied; The plurality of lottery-targeted hands includes variable hands in which at least one of whether or not to be the lottery target or the winning probability differs depending on the game state (RT0-4), and the state value (0-4) within a predetermined range is the game. In the area of the ROM 41b allocated corresponding to the state (RT) and to which the address specified from the state value of the game state (RT0-4) is allocated, a winning combination that changes in the game state corresponding to the state value is selected by lottery. In the loop processing, if the winning combination is a variable combination, it is stored in the area of the ROM 41b to which the address specified from the state value corresponding to the current game state is assigned. Based on the retrieved search data, for example, if the search data is greater than 0, it is determined that the variable combination is eligible for the lottery, and if the search data is 0, the variable combination is eligible for the lottery. By determining that it is not, it is determined whether or not the variable combination is a lottery target.

According to this configuration, an address is specified from the state value corresponding to the current game state (RT0 to RT4), and only by referring to the search data assigned to the specified address, a variable hand can be obtained in the current game state. It is possible to determine whether or not an item is eligible for the lottery.

Difference data that can specify the area where the search data is arranged, and further, in the area of the ROM 41b to which the address specified from the difference data and the state value of the game state (RT0 to 4) is assigned. An internal lottery table is provided in which search data for each game state is arranged for one variable combination by arranging the search data for the variable combination corresponding to the value, and the internal lottery process includes an initial setting process. After that, the loop processing is repeatedly executed until a predetermined end condition (determine that one of the lottery target roles has been won or lottery is performed for all the lottery target roles) is satisfied. If the value specified based on the current location address (HL) is the change flag data (FF), the current location address (HL) is updated to advance by one address, and then specified from the updated address. The address of search data corresponding to the variable hand is specified from the difference data and the state value of the current gaming state, and by referring to the search data stored at the address, whether or not the variable hand is a lottery target. It is a configuration for determining whether On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 21(b), a value indicating whether or not the variation is included in the bit assigned to each game state on a one-to-one basis corresponding to each variation combination. An internal lottery table is provided in which the set lottery object determination flag data is arranged in a predetermined area, and in the loop processing, the value specified from the current position address (HL) is the lottery object determination flag data for the variable hand. In some cases, it may be determined whether or not the variable combination is a lottery target based on the value of a predetermined bit assigned to the current game state in the lottery target determination flag data. According to this configuration, it is not necessary to search data for each game state for one variable combination, and only one lottery object determination flag data is used to determine whether the variable combination is the lottery object in the current game state. Since the determination can be made, the amount of data used for the determination can be reduced.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is capable of performing an internal lottery process for determining any one of a plurality of lottery-targeted roles (including losing) as a winning. , after the initial setting process, the loop processing is repeatedly executed until a predetermined end condition (determine that one of the lottery-targeted roles has been won or draw lots for all the lottery-targeted roles) is satisfied; The plurality of lottery-targeted hands include variable hands in which at least one of whether or not to be the lottery target or winning probability differs depending on the gaming state (RT0-4), and in the loop process, if the variable hand is a winning combination, It is determined whether or not the variable combination is eligible for the lottery, and if the variable combination is not eligible for the lottery, a process of determining whether or not the variable combination is to be won. It is determined whether or not there are undetermined lottery targets remaining (the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the value of the B register) is 0), and if there are any undetermined lottery targets remaining, go to the beginning of the loop processing (step Sb13), and if there are no undetermined lottery targets remaining, loop This is the configuration for terminating the process.

According to this configuration, when the variable combination is not a lottery target, the process of determining whether or not the variable combination is to be won is omitted, so that the load related to the loop processing can be reduced.

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment includes a determination value data table that stores determination value data used when determining whether or not a winning combination of a predetermined combination number is to be won. including a 1-byte 1-byte area in which judgment value data within bytes (1-byte data) is stored and a 2-byte 2-byte area in which judgment value data exceeding 1 byte (2-byte data) is stored, In the area assigned to the address updated in the loop processing, the determination value data of each lottery winning combination to be selected in the loop processing from the start address (reference address m) of the determination value data table is stored. Search data that can specify the difference value up to the address is stored. In loop processing, the search data is acquired from the area of the updated address, and the acquired search data is a value indicating the 1-byte area of the judgment value data table. or a value indicating a 2-byte area of the judgment value data table, a different type coefficient E is set, and according to the set type coefficient E, 1-byte judgment value data is obtained and registered in the E register. , or acquiring 2-byte decision value data and setting it in the DE register.

By specifying whether to use the judgment value data stored in the 2-byte area or the judgment value data stored in the 2-byte area, different processing can be performed, and the type coefficient E can be set from the acquired search data. By doing so, the type coefficient E is referred to even when determining whether to use the determination value data stored in the 1-byte area or the determination value data stored in the 2-byte area in subsequent processing. There is no need to acquire search data each time and make judgments.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can set one of a plurality of set values 1 to 6, and is used when determining whether or not to win the lottery target combination of the predetermined combination number. a judgment value data table for storing judgment value data, wherein the judgment value data table includes a setting difference area storing judgment value data for a set difference combination having different judgment value data according to the setting value; and a no-set-difference area in which determination value data for a no-set-difference combination in which the determination value data is common regardless of the set value is stored. It is possible to carry out an internal lottery process that determines the lottery target combination (including losing) as a winning. The loop processing is repeatedly executed until it is determined that the role has been won, or the lottery is performed for all the lottery-targeted roles. Data is acquired, and a type coefficient E of a different value is set in the E register depending on whether the acquired search data is a value indicating an area with a setting difference or a value indicating an area without a setting difference, and the type It is configured such that the process for acquiring the determination value data from the determination value data table is made different according to the coefficient E. FIG.

According to this configuration, there is a setting difference according to the search data indicating the difference value from the head address of the determination value data table to the address of the area storing the determination value data of the predetermined combination number to be selected by lottery. It is possible to specify whether to use the judgment value data stored in the area or to use the judgment value data stored in the no setting difference area, to perform different processing, and to perform the type coefficient based on the acquired search data. By setting E, in subsequent processing, it is possible not only to specify whether to use 1-byte determination value data or to use 2-byte determination value data, but also to use the determination stored in the setting difference area. Even when specifying whether to use the value data or the determination value data stored in the no set difference area, it is not necessary to acquire the search data each time and make a determination by simply referring to one type coefficient. Simplifies processing.

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment acquires search data from the area of the updated current position address (HL) in the loop processing of the internal lottery process, and the search data is a value indicating the 1-byte area of the judgment value data table. The type coefficient E of a different value depending on whether it is a value indicating a 2-byte area in the judgment value data table, a value indicating an area with a setting difference, or a value indicating an area without a setting difference. A value corresponding to whether the type coefficient E is a 1-byte area or a 2-byte area is set in the 1st bit. The second bit is set to a value corresponding to whether it is a blank area or not.

According to this configuration, by referring to the value of the first bit of the type coefficient E, whether to use the determination value data stored in the 1-byte area or use the determination value data stored in the 2-byte area, By referring to the value of the second bit, it is possible to specify whether to use the determination data stored in the setting difference area or the determination data stored in the setting difference area. can do.

The type coefficient E of a different value depending on whether it is a value indicating a 2-byte area in the judgment value data table, a value indicating an area with a setting difference, or a value indicating an area without a setting difference. The type coefficient E is set in the E register, and the type coefficient E is set in the same E register as the register in which the judgment value data obtained from the judgment value data table is set when judging whether or not the winning combination is to be won. This is the configuration to set.

According to this configuration, it is not necessary to hold the classification coefficient E after the judgment value data is acquired by the classification coefficient E, and the register in which the classification coefficient E is set can be shared with the E register in which the judgment value data is set. Therefore, there is no need to provide a separate register.

[Effect 4]
As a conventional slot machine, there are prizes with different winning probabilities according to set values and prizes with common winning probabilities regardless of the set values. can give a privilege advantageous to the player, but does not give a privilege when winning prizes with different winning probabilities according to a set value are won.

In the slot machine with such a configuration, if a winning prize with the same winning probability is won regardless of the set value, a privilege advantageous to the player can be given, but there is a winning prize with a different winning probability depending on the set value. In the case of not granting benefits to winners, when deciding whether or not to grant benefits, the type of winning prize won is checked, and whether or not to grant benefits is determined according to the results. However, it is necessary to specify whether the win probability is different or the same depending on the set value for each type of prize, and the process when deciding whether to grant a privilege becomes complicated.

On the other hand, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can execute various processes by the main control unit 41, and by performing the lottery type setting process, the lottery type corresponding to the winning number determined by the internal lottery process. can be set, and by performing advantageous section processing and AT lottery processing, the lottery type is used to determine whether to move to the advantageous section as advantageous related processing related to the advantageous section that is advantageous for the player. It is possible to perform section lottery and AT lottery to determine whether or not to control AT, and it is possible to set one of a plurality of types of set values 1 to 6, and an internal lottery. The winning number determined in the process includes the combination number of the lottery target combination that is allowed to win a prize, and the number (0) corresponding to the loss that is not allowed to occur in any of the lottery target combinations, and furthermore, the lottery. The target combination includes a combination with a set difference that has a different winning rate according to the set value, and a combination with no set difference that has the same winning rate regardless of the set value. If the winning number determined by the internal lottery is a winning combination or a set difference combination, the lottery type will be 0, while if the winning number is an advantageous section lottery or an AT lottery target with no set difference, , the lottery types 2 to 4 are set, and if the winning number is a combination with no set difference that is not subject to the advantageous section lottery or AT lottery, the lottery type 1 is set, and the advantageous section process and AT lottery process Then, when the lottery type is 0 or 1, the advantageous section lottery and AT lottery are not performed, and when the lottery type is 2 to 4, the advantageous section lottery and AT It is the composition which performs lottery.

According to this configuration, when the winning number determined in the internal lottery process is a winning combination or a combination with a set difference, that is, when the winning rate differs according to the set value, the lottery type becomes 0. , If the winning number determined in the internal lottery process is a combination with no set difference that is the target of the advantageous section lottery and AT lottery, that is, the winning rate is the same according to the set value, and the advantageous section lottery, If the winning combination is subject to the AT lottery, the lottery type is set to 2 to 4, and the winning number determined in the internal lottery process is an advantage zone lottery or a winning combination that is not subject to the AT lottery. In other words, in the case of a combination that has the same winning rate according to the set value but is not subject to the advantageous section lottery or AT lottery, the lottery type is set to 1, and the lottery type is 0 or 1. In this case, the advantageous section lottery and AT lottery are not performed, and if the lottery type is 2 to 4, the advantageous section lottery and AT lottery are performed using the lottery types 2 to 4. When a lottery is held, there is no need to individually judge whether the winning combination in the internal lottery has a different winning rate or the same combination depending on the set value. Accordingly, it is possible to easily specify whether the winning rate is different or the winning rate is the same.

Further, if the winning number determined in the internal lottery process is a winning combination or a set difference combination, that is, if the winning rate differs according to the set value, the lottery type is 0, and the internal lottery is performed. If the winning number determined in the process is a combination with no set difference that is not subject to the advantageous section lottery or AT lottery, i.e., the winning rate is the same according to the set value, but it is subject to the advantageous section lottery or AT lottery. Since the lottery type is set to 1 in the case of a combination that does not result in a win, the winning number determined in the internal lottery process is a combination with a different winning rate according to the set value. It is possible to perform a separate control between the case where the lottery is not performed and the case where the advantageous section lottery and the AT lottery are not performed even if the winning number has the same winning ratio according to the set value.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the stage of determining the winning numbers in the internal lottery process, if the winning number indicates that none of the lottery target combinations are won, or if the winning combination is a combination with a set difference, a lottery with a set difference is performed. It is possible to set a loss and set difference flag indicating that the target role is won or lost, and in the internal lottery process, at the start of the process, it is possible to determine whether any of the lottery target roles have been won. At the timing before the determination, the lottery type is initialized to 0, and in the main process, it is determined whether or not the flag with loss and setting difference is set, and the flag is set. If the lottery type setting process is not performed, the lottery types 1 to 4 are not set in the type setting area, thereby maintaining the lottery type set at the start of the internal lottery process as 0. is.

According to this configuration, when setting the lottery types 2 to 4 or the lottery type 1 used in the advantageous section lottery and the AT lottery, there is a set difference in the ratio of winning the individual winning numbers according to the set value. It is not necessary to judge whether it is the same set difference or the same set difference, and it is easy to determine whether it is a set difference or a set difference depending on whether the loss and set difference flags are set. can be specified. In addition, since the lottery type is initialized at the start of the internal lottery process, lottery types 1 to 4 in the previous game remain when the winning number determined by the internal lottery process is a combination with set difference. can be prevented.

In the present embodiment, as the advantageous state for the player, the advantageous section which is advantageous for the player is applied. A state in which the probability that the display result is permitted to be derived is higher than usual, a state in which an operation mode for deriving a display result that is advantageous to the player is notified, and a probability that a privilege that is advantageous to the player is granted is normal. Any configuration may be employed as long as it applies a state of being higher than .

Further, in this embodiment, the advantage-related process related to the advantageous state is the process of determining whether or not to control to the advantageous state. Advantageous section processing and processing to change the advantageous degree of the advantageous state based on the lottery type.

Each lottery target combination is set to be a lottery target in a predetermined game state (RT0-4), as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 7).

Each lottery target combination is classified into 1st group to 5th group, and the 1st group is subject to internal lottery during internal and non-internal, and the judgment value varies depending on the game state (RT). The second group is not subject to the internal lottery during the internal lottery, but is subject to the internal lottery only during the non-internal lottery, and the judgment value does not change depending on the game state (RT). The third group is a group of target hands, and the third group is a group of winning hands that are subject to an internal lottery during internal and non-internal periods, and whose judgment value does not change depending on the game state (RT), as in the first group. The fourth group is a group of lottery target hands that are subject to an internal lottery during internal and non-internal periods, and whose judgment value varies depending on the game state (RT). The fifth group is a group of internal lottery during BB. This is a group of lottery-targeted hands. In addition, a winning combination number is assigned in advance to each of the winning combinations for the lottery. Large winning combination numbers are assigned in order from the winning combination for the first group, and the winning combination number 1 is assigned to the winning combination for the winning selection for the fifth group. (See FIG. 23).

[Regarding internal lottery processing and internal lottery table]
Next, the control contents of the internal lottery process performed by the main control unit 41 of this embodiment and the internal lottery table used in the internal lottery process will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 and 25. FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the internal lottery table consists of an initial setting data table, a judgment value data table, and a search data table. It is stored over a plurality of continuous storage areas after the specified storage area of the ROM 41b.

As shown in FIG. 24, in the data table for initial setting, normal (during non-BB) internal lottery processing is used to identify the address immediately before the head address (nc) of the search data table that is first used. Time initial address designation data and BB initial address designation data for specifying the address immediately before the head address (nd) of the search data table first used in the internal lottery process in the BB are stored in advance. . In the normal initial addressing data and the BB initial addressing data, the address (na or nb) of the area where each specified data is stored is one address before the head address (nc or nd) of the corresponding search data table. The differential value up to the address of is set. In addition, in the storage area of the ROM 41b specified by the internal lottery table index, the normal initial address designation data is stored in the area of the address indicated by the internal lottery table index. It is stored in the area of the address next to the area in which the addressing data is stored. In this embodiment, the slot machine 1 has one type of BB, and the initial setting data table has initial address designation data in one BB. (eg, BB1, BB2, etc.), the configuration may include initial addressing data in the BB for each type of BB provided in the slot machine.

As shown in FIG. 24, in the search data table, the search data for each lottery target combination are arranged in the order of the lottery combination number, as in the first embodiment described above. The retrieval data of the winning combination is stored in the front side of the storage area of the retrieval data table, and the retrieval data of the lottery winning combination with the smaller combination number is stored in the rear side of the storage area of the retrieval data table. .

The search data table also contains winning number reset flag data (FE) indicating that the winning number (B) is to be reset, winning number data indicating the winning number to be reset, and jumping over a predetermined area of addresses. Jump flag data (FD, FF) indicating that processing is to be performed, and jump destination address specifying data that can specify the address of the jump destination are set. The jump destination address designation data is data indicating a difference value from the address of the area where the jump destination address designation data is stored to the jump destination address. The jump destination address is an address in a predetermined area of the ROM 41b in which data to be processed next (for example, corresponding winning number reset flag data (FE)) is stored.

In the search data table, winning number reset flag data (FE) and winning number Winning number data is arranged in the area of the address next to the address where the winning number reset flag data (FE) is arranged, and the address after the address where the winning number data is arranged In each address area, the search data of the lottery target combination of each group are arranged in descending order of the combination number.

In addition, in the area between the areas where the search data of each group of the first group and the second group are stored, there is a non-internal character which is not subject to the lottery during the internal period and is only eligible for the lottery during the non-internal period. The jump flag data (FD) of the middle role and the two jump destination address designation data (internal medium, non-internal medium) are arranged, and the lottery target role with the smallest winning number among the lottery target roles of the first group The jump flag data (FD) is placed in the area of the address next to the address where the search data is placed, and the jump flag data (FD) is placed in the area of the address next to the address where the jump flag data (FD) is placed. destination addressing data (internal medium, non-internal medium) are arranged, and a second group is provided in the area of each address after the address where the jump destination addressing data (internal medium, non-internal medium) is arranged. Winning number reset flag data (FE), winning number data, and search data for a lottery target combination are arranged.

In addition, in the area between the areas where the search data of each group of the third group and the fourth group are stored, jump flag data ( FF) and five jump destination address designation data (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4) corresponding to the RT are arranged, and the lottery object combination with the smallest winning combination number among the lottery object combinations of the third group is selected. The jump flag data (FF) is placed in the area of the address next to the address where the search data is placed, and each address after the address where the jump flag data (FF) for the variable hand is placed. The jump destination address designating data (RT0-4) corresponding to each RT are arranged in ascending order of the RT value, and among the jump destination address designating data, the jump destination address designating data corresponding to RT4 is arranged. Winning number reset flag data (FE), winning number data, and lottery target combination search data of the fourth group are arranged in the area of each address following the address in the winning combination.

Winning number reset flag data (FE), winning number data, and search data corresponding to the lottery target combination in the fourth group are sorted and arranged for each RT, and are arranged in ascending order of the RT value. there is Also, 0 data (no data) having a data value of 0 is stored in each area of the address next to the address where the last search data of each RT section is arranged.

In addition, in the search data table, in addition to the areas at the top of each group of the first group to the fourth group, between the areas where the search data corresponding to the lottery target combination of the predetermined combination number is stored, the winning number is reproduced. Setting flag data (FE) and winning number data are appropriately arranged, and by arranging winning number reset flag data (FE) and winning number data, a lottery is conducted for a lottery target combination that is not included in each group. It is possible to reset the winning number so that it will not be performed.

For example, in the second embodiment, with respect to the lottery target combination of the fourth group, when the gaming state is RT3, the lottery combination of combination numbers 3 to 8 and combination number 15 are included in the lottery, and combination number 9 is selected. Lottery target hands 1 to 14 are not subject to the lottery. Winning number reset flag data (FE) is stored in the area of the next address nj, and winning number data (8) for setting the win number 8 is stored in the area of the next address nj+1. In each area after the next address, search data corresponding to lottery winning combinations of winning numbers 8 to 3 are stored. As a result, when the gaming state is RT3, after the lottery for the lottery target combination of the combination number 15 is performed, the lottery for the combination of combination numbers 9 to 14, which are not included in the lottery in RT3, will not be selected. Then, the winning number can be reset to winning number 8.

As shown in FIG. 25, in the determination value data table, the determination value data for each lottery winning combination is stored in the storage area next to the storage area specified by the reference address of the determination value data table, as in the first embodiment described above. are arranged sequentially from Each determination value data is stored in an address area specified based on the sum of the value of the search data corresponding to the determination value data and the value of the reference address of the determination value data table, as in the first embodiment. . Further, the judgment value data is divided into judgment value data for a combination with no set difference and judgment value data for a combination with a set difference. are arranged in a predetermined order according to The judgment value data includes 1-byte data with a data length of 1 byte and 2-byte data with a data length of 2 bytes. are arranged in a predetermined order according to

Further, hereinafter, as in the first embodiment, the boundary between the 1-byte data group of the no set difference hand and the 2-byte data group of the no set difference hand is called the first data boundary. The value of the head address of the 2-byte data group of the null hand is called the first data boundary value. In addition, the boundary between the 2-byte data group for no set difference and the 1-byte data group for set difference, that is, the boundary between the judgment value data group for no set difference and the judgment value data group for set difference is set as the second This is referred to as a 2-data boundary, and the value of the top address of the 1-byte data group of the set difference hand that becomes the second data boundary is referred to as a second data boundary value. Also, the boundary between the 1-byte data group of the set difference hand and the 2-byte data group of the set difference hand is called the third data boundary, and the head of the 2-byte data group of the set difference hand that becomes the third data boundary. The address value is called the third data boundary value.

Next, the control contents of the internal lottery process will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 to 28. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 26, in the internal lottery process, lottery type data set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the lottery type setting process of the main process is initialized to 0 (Sd1). After that, the data (internal lottery table index (head address na of the internal lottery table)) pre-registered in a predetermined area of the ROM 41b is obtained and set in the H and L registers as the current position address (HL) ( Sd2). The H register is set with the upper byte of the address indicating the predetermined area of the ROM 41b, and the L register is set with the lower byte of the address. Hereinafter, the H register and the L register may be collectively referred to as the HL register.

Then, a predetermined area of the RAM 41c is referred to acquire a bonus number (0 or 1 in this embodiment) and set as an addition value (A) in the A register (Sd3). The bonus number is a number that can identify the type of winning special combination, and in this embodiment, "1" is set as the bonus number in a game in which BB, which is a special combination, is won in an internal lottery. After that, the bonus number is initialized and set to "0" when the BB that triggered the setting of the bonus number wins. That is, the bonus number becomes "1" when BB is winning and is being carried over, and becomes "0" when not being inside. In this embodiment, the configuration includes one type of special combination (BB). Different bonus numbers may be assigned, and the internal lottery table may be configured to have BB initial address designation data for each type of special combination.

After the bonus number is set in the A register as the addition value (A) in step Sd3, addition processing is performed twice consecutively (Sd4, Sd5).

By performing the first addition process in step Sd4, the current position address is increased by the addition value (A) set in step Sd3 from the top address of the internal lottery table specified by the internal lottery table index. (HL) advances the current position address (HL) by 0 if the currently controlled game state is not internal and the bonus number is "0", The address of the storage area where the normal initial addressing data is stored (address na in this embodiment) is assumed to be the current position address (HL). On the other hand, when the game state is internal and the bonus number is "1", the current position address (HL) is advanced by 1 and the BB initial address specifying data is stored in the initial setting data table. The address of the storage area (address nb in this embodiment) is assumed to be the current position address (HL). Then, the initial addressing data stored in the address area specified by the current position address (HL) is set in the A register as the addition value (A).

In this state, the second addition process is performed in step Sd5, so that the current position address (HL) is added to the address na of the storage area where the normal initial address designation data is stored by the first addition process. If it is advanced, the current position address (HL) is further advanced from the address na by the difference value stored as the normal initial address specification data, so that the start address (this address) of the area normally used in the search data table is obtained. In the embodiment, the address immediately preceding the address nc) is used as the current position address (HL). On the other hand, when the current position address (HL) is advanced to the address nb of the storage area in which the initial address designation data in the BB is stored by the first addition processing, the initial address designation data in the BB is processed from the address nb. By further advancing the current position address (HL) by the amount of the stored difference value, the address immediately before the start address (address nd in this embodiment) of the area used in the BB in the search data table is changed to the current position. Address (HL).

After performing addition processing in steps Sd4 and Sd5, the random number for the internal lottery that was latched when the start switch 7 was operated in the game start waiting processing of the main processing is acquired and set in the IX register. (Sd6).

Then, a predetermined area of the RAM 41c in which a loss and setting difference flag can be set by a process described later in the internal lottery process is initialized to 0, and when the loss and setting difference flag is set, the flag is set. Clear (Sd7).

Then, 1 is added to the HL register to advance the current position address (HL) by 1 (Sd8). As a result, the current position address (HL) is the top address (address nc) of the area normally used in the search data table or the top address of the area used during BB, depending on whether the game state is BB. (address nd).

After that, the data (search data or flag data) pre-stored in the storage area of the ROM 41b corresponding to the current position address (HL) is acquired and set in the A register (Sd9), and the value of the data is set in advance. Compared with the predetermined values (FD, FF, FE) for judgment, the data is the search data, the jump flag data of the non-internal middle hand (FD), the jump flag data of the variable hand (FF), Which one of the winning number resetting flag data (FE) is determined (Sd10, Sd16, Sd21). When comparing the value of the A register and the predetermined value for determination, the main control unit 41 updates the flag register so that it can be identified when these values match. If the values do not match, the flag register is updated so that this fact can be identified, so that the comparison result between the value of the A register and the predetermined value for judgment can be identified based on the flag register. It's becoming

In step Sd10, the data set in the A register is compared with the predetermined value (FD) for judging the jump flag data (FD) of the non-internal middle hand, and these values match based on the flag register. If it is determined that the data set in the A register is the jump flag data (FD), the process proceeds to step Sd11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the data set in the A register and the predetermined value (FD) for judging the jump flag data (FD) of the non-internal middle hand do not match, that is, the data set in the A register If it is determined that the data is not jump flag data (FD), the process proceeds to step Sd16.

In step Sd11, 1 is added to the HL register to advance the current position address (HL) by one (Sd11). After that, based on whether or not an internal flag indicating that the BB has been won and carried over in the game prior to the game is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c, it is determined whether or not the bonus is in progress. It is determined whether or not there is (Sd12), and if it is determined that it is inside, 1 is added to the HL register, the current position address (HL) is advanced by 1 (Sd13), and the process proceeds to step Sd14. On the other hand, if it is determined in step Sd12 that it is not inside, the process proceeds to step Sd14 without performing the processing in step Sd13.

In step Sd14, the jump destination address specification data (non-internal or internal) stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 41b specified by the current position address (HL) is acquired, and the addition value (A ) (Sd14). Thereafter, addition processing is performed (Sd15), and the process proceeds to step Sd21.

By performing the addition process in step Sd15, the current position address (HL) is advanced by the value of the addition value (A) from the address at the start of the addition process. The jump destination address specification data (non-internal or internal) is set in the addition value (A) in step Sb14. The jump destination addressing data (non-internal or internal) is data indicating the difference value from the address of the area where the jump destination addressing data is stored to the jump destination address. As the destination address designation data (non-internal), the address (address nf) of the area where the winning number reset flag data (FE) of the second group is stored is set in advance, and the jump destination address designation data ( Inside), the address (address ng) of the area in which the winning number reset flag data (FE) of the third group is stored is set in advance. Therefore, in the addition process in step Sd15, if the jump destination address specification data (non-internal) is set to the addition value (A) in step Sd14, the winning number reset flag data of the second group The address (address nf) of the area where (FE) is stored becomes the current position address (HL). On the other hand, when the jump destination address designation data (internal) is set to the addition value (A) in step Sd14, the area where the winning number reset flag data (FE) of the third group is stored. (address ng) becomes the current position address (HL). Then, the winning number reset flag data (FE) stored in the area of the ROM 41b specified by the current position address (HL) is acquired and set in the A register.

In step Sd10, if it is determined that the data set in the A register and the predetermined value (FD) for judging the jump flag data (FD) of the non-internal middle hand do not match, that is, if the data set in the A register If it is determined that the current data is not the jump flag data (FD), it is determined whether or not the data in the A register is the jump flag data (FF) of the combination with variation (Sd16).

In step Sd16, the data set in the A register is compared with a predetermined value (FD) for judging jump flag data (FD) for a change hand, and if these values match based on the flag register. If so, that is, if it is determined that the data set in the A register is the jump flag data (FD) for the variable combination, the process proceeds to step Sd17. On the other hand, if it is determined based on the flag register that these values do not match, that is, if it is determined that the data set in the A register is not the jump flag data (FD) for the change hand, step Sd21. proceed to

At step Sd17, 1 is added to the HL register to advance the current position address (HL) by one (Sd17). As a result, the address next to the address (address nh) of the area where the jump flag data (FF) for the combination with RT variation is stored, that is, the address of the area where the jump destination address specifying data (RT0) is stored is the current location address (HL).

After that, it determines which of RT 0 to 4 the currently controlled game state is, and sets the RT value (0 to 4) of the currently controlled game state in the A register as an addition value (A). Then (Sd18), addition processing is performed twice consecutively (Sd19, Sd20), and the process proceeds to step Sd21.

By performing the first addition process in step Sd19, the address of the area storing the jump destination address designation data (RT0) advanced in step Sd17 is further advanced by the value of the addition value (A). The address becomes the current position address (HL). That is, the address advanced by the value of the current RT set in step Sd18 is used as the current position address (HL). As a result, the address of the area where the jump destination address designation data (RT0-4) corresponding to the current RT is stored is made the current position address (HL). Then, the jump destination address specification data (RT0 to RT4) stored in the area of the ROM 41b specified by the advanced current position address (HL) are obtained and set in the A register as the addition value (A).

Then, in this state, by performing the second addition process in step Sd20, the jump destination address designation data (RT0-4) corresponding to the current RT advanced by the first addition process is stored. The current position address (HL) is an address advanced from the address by the addition value (A) set by the first addition process. By the first addition process, the jump destination address specification data (RT0-4) corresponding to the current RT is set in the addition value (A). The jump destination address specification data (RT0-4) is data indicating the difference value from the address of the area where each jump destination address specification data is stored to the address of the jump destination. As the data (RT0), the address (not shown) of the area storing the winning number reset flag data (FE) of the fourth group, which is the object of internal lottery when RT is 0, is set in advance. , the address (not shown) of the area where winning number reset flag data (FE) of the fourth group targeted for internal lottery when RT is 1 is stored as jump destination address specifying data (RT1) is set in advance, and winning number reset flag data (FE) of the fourth group, which is subject to internal lottery when RT is 2, is stored as jump destination address designation data (RT2). (not shown) is set in advance, and winning number reset flag data (FE) of the fourth group, which is subject to internal lottery when RT is 3, is set as jump destination address designation data (RT3). is stored in advance (address ni), and as jump destination address designation data (RT4), the winning number of the fourth group, which is the target of the internal lottery when RT is 4, is set in advance. An address (not shown) of an area where setting flag data (FE) is stored is set in advance. Therefore, in the addition process in step Sd20, the address of the area where the winning number reset flag data (FE) of the fourth group corresponding to the value of the current RT is stored (for example, when the current RT is 3 , the address ni, etc.) is used as the current position address (HL). Then, the winning number resetting flag data (FE) stored in the area of the ROM 41b specified by the current position address (HL) is acquired and set in the A register.

In step Sd10, it is determined that the data set in the A register is not the jump flag data (FD) of the non-internal middle hand, and in step Sd16, the data set in the A register is determined to be a variable hand. If it is determined that it is not the jump flag data (FF), it is determined whether or not the data in the A register is winning number reset flag data (FE) (Sd21).

In step Sd21, the data set in the A register is compared with the predetermined value (FE) for judging the winning number reset flag data (FE), and it is judged that these values match based on the flag register. If it is determined to be the winning number reset flag data (FE) set in the A register, the process proceeds to step Sd22. On the other hand, if it is determined that the data set in the A register and the predetermined value (FD) for judging the winning number reset flag data (FE) do not match, that is, the winning number reset flag set in the A register If it is determined not to be data (FE), the process proceeds to step Sd27.

If it is determined in step Sd21 that the data set in the A register is the winning number reset flag data (FE), 1 is added to the HL register to reach the address of the area where the winning number data is stored. The current position address (HL) is advanced by one (Sd22). Then, the winning number data stored in the area specified by the current position address (HL) is acquired and set as the winning number (B) in the B register (Sd23). In step Sd23, if the winning number (B) has already been set in the B register, it is updated to the value of the acquired winning number data and a new lottery combination corresponding to the next lottery target combination is updated. Set the winning number (B). As a result, the lottery processing for the lottery target combination of the combination number corresponding to the value between the already set winning number (B) and the newly set winning number (B) is omitted. For example, the currently controlled game state is RT3, 13 is set as the winning number (B), and address nj is set as the current position address (HL), and the address nj is stored. If the winning number reset flag data (FE) is set in the A register, the current position address (HL) is updated to the address nj+1 in step Sd22, and the value of the winning number data stored at the address nj+1. (6) is newly set in the B register, the lottery target combination of the combination number corresponding to the value of the winning number data is set as the next lottery target, and the lottery-related processing described later is performed, RT3 The lottery for the lottery-targeted hands of the lottery numbers 7 to 12, which are not subject to the lottery, is omitted.

After that, it is determined whether or not the winning number (B) set in the B register in step Sd23 was 0 (Sd24). Go to step. On the other hand, if it is determined that the winning number (B) is not 0, 1 is added to the HL register and the current position is reached to the address of the area where the search data for the winning combination number corresponding to the winning number (B) is stored. The address (HL) is advanced by one (Sd25). Then, the search data stored in the area of the ROM 41b specified by the advanced current position address (HL) is obtained and set in the A register (Sd26), and the process proceeds to step Sd27.

As shown in FIG. 27, in step Sd27, it is determined whether or not the data set in the A register is 0 (Sd27). After correcting the winning number (B) set in the B register to 0 (Sd57), the process proceeds to step Sd55. On the other hand, if the data set in the A register is not 0 and there is data, the process proceeds to step Sd28.

In step Sd28, the value of the current position address (HL) set in the HL register is saved by storing it in a predetermined area (for example, stack area) of RAM 41c (Sd28). , and the D register, in which the upper data of the winning determination data ED are set, are initialized and set to 0 (Sd29).

Thereafter, by comparing the value of the search data set in the A register in step Sd11 or step Sd28 with the first data boundary value of the judgment value data table, the current winning number specified based on the search data. It is determined whether or not the judgment value data of the lottery target combination corresponding to (B) is 1-byte data of the no set difference combination (Sd30), and the judgment value data is 1-byte data of the no difference combination. If so, the type coefficient E is set to 0 (“00” in binary notation) by maintaining the E register in the state initialized in step Sd29, and the process proceeds to Sd37, which will be described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the determination value data is not the 1-byte data of the combination with no set difference, 1 is added to the E register to update the type coefficient E to 1 (“01” in binary notation), and then ( Sd31), by comparing the value of the search data set in the A register with the second data boundary value of the judgment value data table, the judgment value data specified based on the search data is determined as having no setting difference; 2-byte data (Sd32).

Then, in step Sd32, when it is determined that the determination value data specified based on the search data of the A register is the 2-byte data of the set no difference hand, the E register is updated to 1 in step Sd32. By maintaining the state, the type coefficient E is maintained at 1 (“01” in binary notation), and the process proceeds to step Sd37, which will be described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the determination value data is not the 2-byte data of the combination with no set difference, 1 is added to the E register to update the type coefficient E to 2 (“10” in binary notation), and then ( Sd33), and set the flags of the error and setting difference in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sd34). After that, by comparing the value of the search data in the A register with the third data boundary value of the decision value data table, the decision value data specified based on the search data is 1-byte data with a setting difference. It is determined whether or not there is (Sd35).

Then, in step Sb35, when it is determined that the determination value data specified based on the search data of the A register is 1-byte data with a set difference, the E register is updated to 2 in step Sd33. state, the type coefficient E is maintained at 2 (“10” in binary notation), and the process proceeds to step Sd37, which will be described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the relevant judgment value data is not 1-byte data of a set difference hand, and if the relevant judgment value data is 2-byte data of a set difference hand, 1 is added to the E register to determine the type. After updating the coefficient E to 3 (“11” in binary notation) (Sd36), the process proceeds to step Sb37.

As described above, in the present embodiment, after the type coefficient E is initialized in step Sd29, the judgment value data specified based on the search data is data for either a set no difference hand or a set difference hand. It is set to a value (0 to 4) according to whether the data is 1-byte data or 2-byte data.

Then, in step Sd37, the reference address of the determination value data table stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 41b is acquired and set in the HL register, thereby setting the current position address (HL) to the start address of the determination value data table. is set (Sd37), addition processing is performed (Sd38).

By performing addition processing in step Sd38, the current position address (HL) is advanced by the value of the addition value (A) from the address at the start of the addition processing. The added value (A) is set with the search data of the lottery target combination corresponding to the current winning number in step Sd9 or step Sd26, and the current position address (HL) is determined in step Sd37. Since the head address of the value data table is set, the current position address (HL) is advanced by the added value (A), and the determination value of the lottery target combination corresponding to the current winning number is displayed in the determination value data table. The top address of the storage area where the data is stored (for example, address ma, address mb, address mc, address md, address me, address mf, address mg, etc.) is the current position address (HL).

After performing the addition process in step Sd38, the set value check process is performed (Sd39), and the set value currently set in the slot machine 1 is obtained in the A register. After that, by subtracting 1 from the value of the A register, the corrected value obtained by subtracting 1 from the current set value is set in the A register as the added value (A) (Sd40).

Then, referring to the classification coefficient E set in the E register in steps Sd29 to Sd36 described above, based on the value of the second predetermined bit (second bit from the bottom) of the data of the classification coefficient E, step Sb27 It is determined whether or not the determination value data specified based on the search data obtained in step Sd41 is the data of the hand with set difference. In step Sb40, it is determined whether or not the value of the second predetermined bit of the type coefficient E set in the E register is 1, and if the value of the second predetermined bit is 1, search data If the value of the second predetermined bit is not 1, it is determined that the determination value data is not data of a combination with a difference. . Then, when it is determined that the determination value data is data for a combination with a set difference, the determination value data is 2-byte data for a combination with a set difference based on the type coefficient E set in the E register. (Sd42). In step Sb4d, it is determined whether or not the value of the first predetermined bit of the type coefficient E set in the E register is 1, and if the value of the first predetermined bit is 1, the search data is determined to be 2-byte data, and if the value of the first predetermined bit is not 1, it is determined that the determination value data is not 2-byte data. Then, when it is determined that the determination value data is 2-byte data, by adding the value set in the A register in step Sd40 to the A register, the addition value set in the A register (A ) is doubled (Sd43).

Then, in step Sd42, if it is determined that the determination value data is 2-byte data, in step Sd43, the addition value (A) updated to be doubled is added to the HL register to obtain the current position address. After advancing (HL) by the added value (A) (Sd44), the process proceeds to step Sb45, which will be described later. If it is determined in step Sd42 that the determination value data is not 2-byte data, the addition value (A) set in step Sd40 is added to the HL register to obtain the current position address (HL). is advanced by the added value (A) (Sd44), the process proceeds to step Sb45. On the other hand, in step Sd41, if the value of the type coefficient E is less than 2, the value of the second predetermined bit set in the E register is not 1, and the determination value data specified based on the search data is the set difference. If it is determined that it is not the determination value data for a winning combination, that is, the determination value data is for a combination with no set difference, the process proceeds to step Sd45 without performing the processing of steps Sd42 to Sd44.

By adding the addition value (A) to the current position address (HL) in step Sd44, the addition value (A) is a value ( Since the set value -1) is set, in the case of a combination in which the determination value data fluctuates according to the set value, an address obtained by adding the search data value to the determination value table reference address (for example, address me , address mg, etc.), and a value corresponding to the set value (for example, when the set value is 6 and the determination value data is 1-byte data, the set value is 6 and the determination value is 6 for 5 addresses and the determination value If the data is 2-byte data, the address (for example, address me+5, address mg+10, etc.) to which 10 addresses are added is set as the current position address (HL), and the process proceeds to step Sb44. On the other hand, if it is determined in step Sb40 that the determination value data specified based on the search data is not the determination value data for the hand with set difference, and the process of step Sb43 is not performed, that is, if the determination value data is specified based on the search data If the determination value data is the determination value data for the combination with no set difference, the address obtained by adding the search data value to the determination value table reference address (for example, address ma, address mb, address mc, address md, etc.) is set as the current position address (HL), the process proceeds to step Sd45.

Then, in step Sd45, the first predetermined bit of the data set in the E register is set in the flag register so that it can be specified (for example, the value of the Z flag in the flag register is changed to the 0th bit of the data in the E register). (e.g., set to a value of ), part of the type coefficient E that can specify whether the judgment value data is 1-byte data or 2-byte data is saved. After that, the process proceeds to step Sd46, in which determination value data stored in advance in the storage area of the ROM 41b specified by the current position address (HL) set in step Sd38 or step Sd44 is obtained, and lottery determination data is obtained. is set in the E register as the first byte (lower byte) of (Sd46). Thereafter, based on the partial data of the type coefficient E saved in step Sd45, it is determined whether or not the determination value data is 1-byte data (Sd47). In step Sb47, if the type coefficient E set in steps Sd29 to Sd36 is 0 or 2 and the first predetermined bit of the saved type coefficient E is 0, it is specified based on the search data. Determining that the determination value data is 1-byte data, and determining that the determination value data specified based on the search data is not 1-byte data when the first predetermined bit of the saved type coefficient E is 1 do. If it is determined in step Sd47 that the determination value data is not 1-byte data, that is, if the determination value data is 2-byte data, 1 is added to the HL register to obtain the current position address (HL). is advanced by one (Sd48), the determination value data stored in advance in the storage area of the ROM 41b specified by the current position address (HL) is obtained, and the second byte (upper byte) of the lottery determination data is obtained. is set in the D register (Sd49), and the process proceeds to step Sd50. On the other hand, in step Sd47, the type coefficient E set in steps Sd29 to Sd36 is 0 or 2, the first predetermined bit of the saved type coefficient E is 0, and the determination value data is 1-byte data. If it is determined that it is, the processing of steps Sd48 and Sd49 is not performed, and the process proceeds to step Sd50.

In step Sd50, the value of the D register is added to the upper byte of the IX register, and the value of the E register is added to the lower byte of the IX register, so that the random number for internal lottery and the data value for lottery determination are added. An internal lottery is performed by adding the numbers (Sd50). Also, during this addition, if the value of the IX register exceeds a predetermined number (65535 (decimal number), the maximum value that can be represented by 2 bytes) and an overflow occurs, the fact that the overflow has occurred is indicated. Set the flag register to be identifiable. On the other hand, when the value of the IX register does not exceed a predetermined number (65535 (decimal number), the maximum value that can be represented by two bytes) and no overflow occurs, it is possible to identify that the overflow has not occurred. set the flag register to

After adding the lottery decision data value to the internal lottery random number in step Sd50, the current position address (HL) saved in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c in step Sd28 is returned to the HL register. (Sd51). As a result, the address of the storage area of the ROM 41b in which the search data of the current winning number (B) in the search data table is stored is again set in the HL register as the current position address (HL). .

As shown in FIG. 28, after restoring the current position address (HL) that had been saved in step Sd51, based on the random number for the internal lottery to which the data for lottery determination has been added in step Sd50. Then, it is determined whether or not the winning combination of the winning combination number corresponding to the current winning number (B) has been won (Sd52).

In step Sd52, the flag register is referred to, and if it is specified that an overflow occurred when adding the values of the E and D registers to the XI register in step Sd50, the flag is set in the B register. It is determined that the lottery target combination of the current winning number (B) has been won, and the process proceeds to step Sd56. On the other hand, in step Sd52, the flag register is referred to, and if it is determined in step Sd50 that no overflow has occurred, the lottery winning combination of the current winning number (B) set in the B register is selected. determines that it has not been won, and proceeds to step Sd53.

Then, in step Sd53, 1 is subtracted from the current winning number (B) by subtracting 1 from the value of the B register (Sd53). Then, it is determined whether or not the winning number (B) after subtraction in step Sd53 is 0 (Sd54).

In step Sd54, if it is determined that the winning number (B) after subtraction set in the B register is not 0, the process returns to step Sd7, and the processing of steps Sd7 to Sd54 is repeated. On the other hand, in step Sd54, if it is determined that the winning number (B) after subtraction is 0, all winning numbers (in this embodiment, non During BB, 3 to 50, and during BB, 1 and 2) were judged whether or not they won. And after setting the setting difference flag in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sd55), the process proceeds to step Sd56.

Then, in step Sd56, the value set in the B register is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c as the lottery result (Sd56). As a result, the winning number (B) (one of 1 to 50) when it is determined to be winning in step Sd52 or 0 in the case of losing is set as the lottery result. After that, the internal lottery process is terminated and the process returns to the main process.

As described above, in the internal lottery process, a predetermined termination condition (determining that any of the lottery-targeted roles has been won, or performing a lottery for all the lottery-targeted roles) is set after the initial setting process (Sd1 to Sd6). A common process for determining whether or not one lottery-targeted combination is to be won is repeatedly executed as a loop process (Sd7 to Sd54) for each of a plurality of lottery-targeted combinations until it is established.

In the internal lottery process, a loop process (Sd7 to Sd54) is performed for each of a plurality of lottery winning combinations in a predetermined order (in descending order of winning combination numbers).

In the initial setting process (Sd1 to Sd6), an internal lottery assigned an address specified from the game state value (normal (non-BB) is 0, BB is 1) assigned according to the game state (normally, BB) An initial current position address (HL) is set based on the initial addressing data (normal initial addressing data, BB initial addressing data) stored in the table area (Sd5). At this time, as the initial current position address (HL), one address before the address (address nc, address nd) where the top data of the search data table corresponding to the game state is specified based on the initial address designation data. address.

In this embodiment, as the initial addressing data, the address immediately preceding the address specifying the top data of the search data table corresponding to the game state from the address of the area where the initial addressing data is stored. By adding the difference value to the current position address (HL), as the initial current position address (HL) in the loop processing, the top of the search data table corresponding to the game state is set. It is configured to set an address one address before the address (address nc, address nd) where the data is specified. By setting the difference value up to the address where the data at the top of the search data table corresponding to is specified, adding the difference value to the current position address (HL) and subtracting 1, the initial current position in the loop processing As the address (HL), an address one address before the address (address nc, address nd) specifying the top data of the search data table corresponding to the game state may be set.

In the initial setting process (Sd1 to Sd6), a random number for internal lottery is set in the IX register (Sd6).

In the loop processing (Sd7 to Sd54), the current position address (HL) is updated by one address (Sd8), and the search data specified from the updated current position address (HL) is used to find the corresponding winning combination number. It is determined whether or not the lottery target combination is to be won (Sd52).

Further, in the loop processing (Sd7 to Sd54), if the lottery target role is a replaying role and the replaying role is not a lottery target in the currently controlled gaming state, the winning number set in the B register is determined. is updated to the combination number of the next lottery target combination (Sd21 to Sd23), the lottery target is updated to the next lottery target combination in the currently controlled game state.

Further, in the slot machine 1, in the internal lottery, when a special role accompanied by transition to the special state (BB) is won and the special role is not won, the winning of the special role is carried over to the next game or later. In the loop processing (Sd7 to Sd54), the lottery target combination includes only the special combination (BB) and does not include the general combination, and the internal lottery is performed when the gaming state is internal. (Sd10 to Sd15), it is determined whether or not the winning of the special role has been carried over (Sd12), and if the winning of the special role has been carried over, it is stored in the search data table. Based on the jump flag data (FD) and the jump destination address designation data of the non-internal middle hand set in advance, the lottery target is the next lottery target hand other than the non-internal middle hand (for example, (Sd13 to Sd15).

In addition, the slot machine 1 has a plurality of game states (RT 0 to 4 ), and in the loop processing (Sd7 to Sd54), it is determined whether the value specified from the updated current position address (HL) is the jumpover flag data (FF) with variation ( Sd16) In the case of the changeable role jumping over flag data (FF), a process peculiar to the case where the current lottery target role becomes a replaying role (the current RT value is determined, and the RT value is Processing to update the current position address (HL) to the corresponding address) (Sd17 to Sd26), and if it is not the jump flag data (FF) with variation, the processing common to all lottery target roles (winning number Processing such as determining whether or not it is a reset flag (FE)) (processing after Sd21).

In addition, the slot machine 1 can be controlled in a plurality of game states (RT0-4), each game state is assigned a value (0-4) indicating the game state, and loop processing (Sd7 ~Sd54), when the value specified from the updated current position address (HL) is the variable jumpover flag data (FF), a process specific to the replaying role from the current lottery target. As (Sd17 to Sd26), based on the value indicating the currently controlled game state (RT0 to 4), jump destination address designation data (RT0 to 4) corresponding to the game state is specified (Sd18, Sd19 ), after updating the current position address (HL) based on the specified jump destination address specification data (Sd20), by further advancing the current position address (HL) by two (Sd22, Sd25), in the game state First, the current position address (HL) is updated to an address (for example, address ni+2, etc.) specifying the search data corresponding to the replay combination to be drawn, and the updated current position address (HL) is retrieved. Data is acquired (Sd26).

In the loop processing (Sd7 to Sd54), if the variable combination is a variable combination, it is determined whether or not the variable combination is a lottery target. 1 is subtracted from the value of the B register without performing the process of determining whether or not there is an overflow by adding the winning determination data for the variable hand, that is, the process of determining whether or not the variable hand is won. By determining whether or not the value obtained is 0, it is determined whether or not there are any undetermined lottery targets remaining. step), and if there are no undetermined lottery targets remaining, the loop processing is terminated.

In addition, in the loop processing (Sd7 to Sd54), search data is acquired from the updated address area, and the acquired search data is a value indicating a 1-byte area of the judgment value data table, or a value indicating a 2-byte area of the judgment value data table. A different type coefficient E is set depending on whether the value indicates the area, and depending on the set type coefficient E, 1-byte judgment value data is acquired and set in the E register, or 2-byte judgment Perform one of the processes of acquiring value data and setting it in the DE register. In the internal lottery process, after the loop process, when the determination value data used for determining whether or not the lottery object is to be won is acquired from the determination value data table, the set type coefficient E The processing (Sd31 to Sd36) is changed accordingly.

Further, in the loop processing (Sd7 to Sd54), search data is obtained from the area of the updated current position address (HL), and the obtained search data is a value indicating an area with setting difference or indicates an area without setting difference. A different value of the type coefficient E is set in the E register. Then, in the internal lottery process, after the loop process, when the determination value data is acquired from the determination value data table according to the type coefficient E, processing is performed according to the set type coefficient E (Sd30 to Sd36). be different.

In addition, in the loop processing (Sd7 to Sd54), when the retrieval data is the data of the combination with no set difference and is a value indicating the 1-byte area of the judgment value data table, the type coefficient E is 0 (binary notation "00 ”) is set, and when the search data is the data of the combination with no set difference and is a value indicating the 2-byte area of the judgment value data table, 1 (“01” in binary notation) is set, and the search data is set When the data of the combination with difference is a value indicating the 1-byte area of the judgment value data table, 2 ("10" in binary notation) is set, and the search data is the data of the combination with the difference and judgment value data. If the value indicates a 2-byte area of the table, 3 ("11" in binary notation) is set. As a result, in the type coefficient E, a value corresponding to whether the area is a 1-byte area or a 2-byte area is set in the 1st bit. A value corresponding to is set in the second bit.

In addition, in the loop processing (Sd7 to Sd54), the type coefficient E is set in the E register, and then the judgment value data acquired from the judgment value data table when judging whether or not the lottery target role is won is stored in D. register and E register. That is, the type coefficient E is set in the same E register as the register in which the judgment value data is set.

Further, in the loop processing (Sd7 to Sd54), it is determined that the lottery target combination of the combination number indicated by the winning number (B) is won based on the search data specified from the updated current position address (HL). Acquire determination value data indicating a determination value, add the acquired determination value data and the random number value obtained in the initial setting process, and if the addition result exceeds the range of the random value, the winning number (B) If the result of addition does not exceed the range of the random number, the winning number (B) is updated, and the updated winning number (B) is the end value (0). If the updated winning number (B) is not the end value, the process proceeds to the beginning of the loop processing. Decide that you will not be elected (losing).

The winning number determined in the internal lottery process includes the combination number of the lottery target combination that is allowed to win, and the number (0) corresponding to the loss that is not allowed to occur in any of the lottery target combinations. include.

In addition, the lottery target hands to be selected in the internal lottery process include a combination with a set difference in which the percentage of winning is different according to the set value, and a combination with no set difference in which the percentage of winning is the same regardless of the set value. include.

Further, in the internal lottery process, in the stage of determining the winning number, if the winning number is the combination number of the winning combination with the set difference, the difference and the set difference indicate that the lottery target combination with the set difference is won or lost. A presence flag is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c.

Further, in the internal lottery process, if the winning number is a loss in which none of the lottery-targeted roles is won at the stage of determining the winning number, it indicates that the lottery-targeted role with a set difference has been won or lost. It sets the flags indicating that there is a failure and that there is a setting difference in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c.

Further, in the internal lottery process, it is determined whether the lottery target combination is a combination with a set difference in which the percentage of winning is different according to the set value, or whether it is a combination with no set difference in which the percentage of winning is the same regardless of the set value. Accordingly, processing for setting the type coefficient E is performed. Then, when setting the type coefficient E, when it is determined that there is a setting difference and the type coefficient E (2, 3) is set, in order to select the determination value data according to the set value While advancing the current position address, if it is a no set difference hand, the process is not performed. Different processing is performed when it is determined that there is.

In the internal lottery process, when performing the process of setting the type coefficient E, it is determined whether or not the combination is a combination with no difference. When it is determined that there is no set difference by determining whether or not it is a no set difference hand, a loss and a set difference presence flag are set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. It's like

In addition, in the internal lottery process, it is sequentially determined whether or not all the predetermined lottery-targeted hands have been won. If it is determined that it has not, it is determined to be a loss, and a predetermined value (0 in this embodiment) is set as the winning number. Then, when the process of determining whether or not all of the lottery target roles have been won is completed, and it is determined that all of the lottery target roles have not been won, a flag of loss and setting difference is set. It has become.

In addition, in the internal lottery process, when a special combination (BB) is won, an internal middle flag that can specify that the BB is being carried over and a BB first hit flag that can specify that the BB has won in the game is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. Then, when the game ends, the BB first hit flag is cleared, and when the winning BB wins, the internal middle flag is cleared.

In this embodiment, the lottery type set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is initialized at the start of the internal lottery process, but the lottery type is initialized before the lottery type setting process is started. For example, the lottery type may be initialized in a game start waiting process performed at the start of the game, a game end setting process performed at the end of the previous game, or the like.

Further, in the internal lottery process, each process of Sd7 to Sd54 is repeatedly performed until it is determined in step Sd52 that the lottery target combination being selected has been won, or the value of the B register becomes 0. do. In addition, the B register is set with a winning number (B) indicating the winning combination number of the winning combination that is selected in one loop process, and data acquired based on the current position address (HL) is used to reproduce the winning number. When the setting flag data (FE) is specified, the winning number (B) in the B register is updated to a predetermined value set in the search data table based on the winning number data. As a result, in the middle of one loop process, the winning number (B) in the B register is reset to a predetermined value, and the winning number (B) before resetting to the winning number (B) after resetting is reset. , and the lottery for a combination that is not included in the lottery is omitted depending on the game state (RT0-4, BB, non-BB).

In the internal lottery process, when it is determined that the lottery is won in step Sd52, the lottery number (B) set in the B register at that time is set as the lottery result. The winning number (B) and the winning combination number of the lottery target combination are designed to match. It is set that the lottery object combination of number 48, that is, cherry 1 in the middle stage has been won in the internal lottery.

In addition, in the determination value data table storing determination value data (hereinafter sometimes referred to as determination value number) used for determining the winning combination in the internal lottery, the determination value data is determined for each lottery target combination. , and stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 41b in descending order of the winning combination numbers assigned in advance to each winning combination to be selected.

[Effect 6]
Most of the slot machines 1, which are conventional game machines, have a configuration in which a lottery is performed in relation to a game, such as whether or not to allow the occurrence of a prize. In a gaming machine with such a configuration, a lottery related to a game is always performed at least for each game unit, and suitable processing is required.

On the other hand, the slot machine 1, which is the gaming machine of the present embodiment, can perform an internal lottery process for determining one of a plurality of lottery-targeted roles (including losing) as a win. It is possible, and in the internal lottery process, after the initial setting process, until a predetermined end condition (determine that one of the lottery-targeted roles has been won or draw lots for all the lottery-targeted roles) is satisfied. A common process for determining whether or not one lottery target combination is to be won is repeatedly executed as a loop process for each of a plurality of lottery target combinations.

According to this configuration, when one of a plurality of lottery-targeted roles is determined to be a winning lottery-targeted role, the common process of determining whether or not to determine one lottery-targeted role is performed as a loop process, and a predetermined end is performed. Since it suffices to repeat execution until the conditions are met, the program capacity can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the slot machine 1 is used as the gaming machine, but as the gaming machine, a game is played by shooting game balls into the game area. You may apply the pachinko game machine which has the structure which determines any determination object from several determination objects, such as the structure which determines.

Also, in this embodiment, the end condition of the loop processing is that the loop processing for all the lottery-targeted hands to be selected in the internal lottery is completed, or that a lottery-targeted hand with a predetermined number is won in the loop processing. Although it is applied that it is determined that it is, it is also possible to apply only one of them as a termination condition.

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment can be controlled to a plurality of game states (usually BB) in which at least part of the lottery target combination is different. A game state value (normal state is 0, BB is 1) that can specify the type of is assigned, and a game corresponding to the game state value is assigned to an area to which an address specified from the game state value is assigned in the internal lottery table Numerical values (normal initial address designation data, BB initial address designation data) are stored according to the state, and in the internal lottery process, after the initial setting process, a predetermined end condition (any lottery winning combination is won) is stored. or a lottery for all the lottery-targeted hands) is established. set the initial current position address (HL) based on the numerical values (normal initial addressing data, initial addressing data during BB) stored in the area to which the current position address (HL) is assigned. is updated so as to advance by one address, and it is determined whether or not the lottery target combination of the corresponding predetermined combination number is to be won using the search data specified from the updated address.

According to this configuration, in the initial setting process, based on the numerical value (normal initial address specification data, BB initial address specification data) stored in the area to which the address specified from the game state value is assigned, the initial By setting the current position address (HL), it is possible to control a plurality of game states with different lottery targets.

In this embodiment, in the loop processing of the internal lottery processing, the current position address (HL) is updated by one address, and the lottery target combination of the predetermined combination number is selected using the search data specified from the updated address. In the loop processing of the internal lottery process, the value of the predetermined combination number of the lottery target combination for determining whether or not to be won, and the remaining number of repetitions of the loop processing. It is also possible to update the value by a certain value and determine whether or not the lottery target combination of the corresponding predetermined combination number is to be won using the search data specified from the updated value.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the current position address (HL) is updated by one address in loop processing, but may be updated by a plurality of addresses.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the internal lottery processing loop processing, search data is specified based on the updated current position address (HL), and the corresponding lottery is determined based on the judgment value data specified using the search data. The internal lottery process is not limited to specifying search data from the updated current position address (HL), and whether or not at least a predetermined lottery object combination has been won. Any configuration may be used as long as the data used to determine whether or not is specified from the updated current location address (HL). For example, the configuration may be such that determination value data, winning numbers, etc. are applied as data used for determination. As a configuration for applying determination value data as data used for determination, for example, the determination value data used for determination is directly specified from the updated current position address (HL), and based on the determination value data, the corresponding lottery target role is selected. It may be determined whether or not the lottery has been won, or as a configuration in which the winning number is applied as the data used for determination, for example, the winning number of the lottery target role to be drawn from the updated current position address (HL) is specified, and it is determined whether or not the winning number is subject to the lottery in the currently controlled game state, and if it is not subject to the lottery in the current game state, the lottery target role corresponding to the winning number is not won. It is also possible to adopt a configuration for judging that it is not.

In the initial setting process of the internal lottery process, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment uses numerical values (normal initial address specification data, BB initial address specification data) stored in areas to which addresses specified from gaming state values are assigned. ), and as the initial current position address (HL), the address (address nc, In this configuration, an address one address before the address nd) is set.

According to this configuration, in the initial setting process, an address one address before the address specifying the top data of the search data table corresponding to the first lottery target combination is set as the initial current position address (HL). Therefore, in both the first loop process after the initialization process and the second and subsequent loop processes, the current position address (HL) is updated by one address, and the determination is made in the loop process. It is possible to specify the search data and the like to be used, and it is possible to avoid changing the processing contents between the first loop processing and the second and subsequent loop processing after the initialization processing.

In the internal lottery process, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment performs loop processing for each of a plurality of lottery-targeted hands in a predetermined order (in descending order of winning combination number). If the re-playing combination is not subject to the lottery in the currently controlled gaming state, the winning number set in the B register is updated to the combination number of the next lottery-targeted combination to be the lottery target. , the lottery target is updated to the lottery target combination to be the next lottery target in the currently controlled game state.

According to this configuration, in the loop processing, when the predetermined lottery target combination is not selected for the lottery, it is updated to the predetermined lottery target combination to be the target of the next lottery. If it is not targeted, the loop processing for the next lottery-targeted combination can be performed, thereby eliminating wasteful processing.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the internal lottery, when a special role involving transition to the special state (BB) is won and the special role is not won, the winning of the special role is performed after the next game. It is possible to carry over, and in the loop processing of the internal lottery processing, the internal lottery is targeted when the lottery target combination includes only the special combination (BB) and does not include the general combination and the game state is internal. If it is a non-internal middle role that is not determined, it is determined whether or not the winning of the special role has been carried over, and if the winning of the special role has been carried over, the non-internal role preset in the search data table Based on the jump flag data (FD) and the jump destination address designation data of the middle role, the lottery target is the next lottery target role other than the non-internal middle role (for example, the lottery target role of role number 35) ).

According to this configuration, in the loop processing, when the lottery target is a non-internal middle role, it is determined whether or not the winning of the special role is carried over, and if the winning of the special role is carried over, Since the lottery target is updated to the next lottery target role other than the non-internal middle role, when the game state is internal, the lottery result that none of the lottery objects wins the non-internal middle role. There is no need for replacement processing, and when a plurality of non-internal middle roles are not subject to the lottery, the loop processing for the next lottery target role other than the non-internal middle role is performed, so it is useless. processing can be eliminated.

In the loop processing of the internal lottery processing, if the value specified from the updated current position address (HL) is the fluctuating role jumping flag data (FF), the current lottery target will be the replaying role. As a process peculiar to , based on the value indicating the currently controlled game state (RT0-4), the jump destination address designation data (RT0-4) corresponding to the game state is specified, and the specified jump After the current position address (HL) is updated based on the destination address specification data, the current position address (HL) is further advanced by two to search for a replay combination that is the first lottery target in the relevant game state. The configuration is such that the current position address (HL) is updated to the address where the data is specified (for example, address ni+2, etc.).

According to this configuration, when the value specified from the current position address (HL) is the fluctuating role jumping flag data (FF), and the current lottery role is the replay role from the current lottery role. The current position address (HL) can be updated to the address specifying the search data corresponding to the replaying combination to be drawn first in the game state of .

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment includes a determination value data table that stores determination value data used when determining whether or not a winning combination of a predetermined combination number is to be won. including a 1-byte 1-byte area for storing judgment value data (1-byte data) within a byte and a 2-byte 2-byte area for storing judgment value data exceeding 1 byte (2-byte data), In the area assigned to the address updated in the loop processing, the determination value data of each lottery winning combination to be selected in the loop processing from the top address (reference address m) of the determination value data table is stored. Search data that can specify the difference value up to the address is stored. In the loop processing, the search data is acquired from the updated address area, and the acquired search data is a value indicating the 1-byte area of the judgment value data table. or a value indicating a 2-byte area of the judgment value data table, and sets a different type coefficient E according to the set type coefficient E, acquires 1-byte judgment value data, and registers E , or acquiring 2-byte decision value data and setting it in the DE register. It is configured to vary the processing when value data is acquired from the judgment value data table.

It is possible to specify whether to use the judgment value data stored in the 2-byte area or to use the judgment value data stored in the 2-byte area, and perform different processing. By doing so, the type coefficient E is referred to even when specifying whether to use the determination value data stored in the 1-byte area or the determination value data stored in the 2-byte area in subsequent processing. There is no need to acquire search data each time and make judgments.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can set one of a plurality of set values 1 to 6, and is used when determining whether or not to win the lottery target combination of the predetermined combination number. a judgment value data table for storing judgment value data, wherein the judgment value data table includes a setting difference area storing judgment value data for a set difference combination having different judgment value data according to the setting value; and a no-set-difference area in which determination value data for a no-set-difference combination in which the determination value data is common regardless of the set value is stored. It is possible to carry out an internal lottery process that determines the lottery target combination (including losing) as a winning. The loop processing is repeatedly executed until it is determined that the role has been won, or the lottery is performed for all the lottery-targeted roles. Data is acquired, and a type coefficient E of a different value is set in the E register depending on whether the acquired search data is a value indicating an area with a setting difference or a value indicating an area without a setting difference, and the type It is configured such that the process for acquiring the determination value data from the determination value data table is made different according to the coefficient E. FIG.

According to this configuration, there is a setting difference according to the search data indicating the difference value from the head address of the determination value data table to the address of the area storing the determination value data of the predetermined combination number to be selected by lottery. It is possible to specify whether to use the judgment value data stored in the area or to use the judgment value data stored in the no setting difference area, to perform different processing, and to perform the type coefficient based on the acquired search data. By setting E, in subsequent processing, it is possible not only to specify whether to use 1-byte determination value data or to use 2-byte determination value data, but also to use the determination stored in the setting difference area. Even when specifying whether to use the value data or the determination value data stored in the no set difference area, it is not necessary to acquire the search data each time and make a determination by simply referring to one type coefficient. It simplifies the process.

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment acquires search data from the area of the updated current position address (HL) in the loop processing of the internal lottery process, and the search data is a value indicating the 1-byte area of the judgment value data table. The type coefficient E with a different value depending on whether it is a value indicating a 2-byte area in the judgment value data table, a value indicating an area with a setting difference, or a value indicating an area without a setting difference. A value corresponding to whether the type coefficient E is a 1-byte area or a 2-byte area is set in the 1st bit. The second bit is set to a value corresponding to whether it is a blank area or not.

According to this configuration, by referring to the value of the first bit of the type coefficient E, whether to use the determination value data stored in the 1-byte area or use the determination value data stored in the 2-byte area, By referring to the value of the second bit, it is possible to specify whether to use the determination data stored in the setting difference area or the determination data stored in the setting difference area. can do.
