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, which can be opened by operating a predetermined key, is opened. Only the store clerk who has a predetermined key among the store clerk of the installed amusement shop can operate. In particular, since the setting key switch 37 requires further key operation, it can be operated only by a store clerk who has a key for operating the setting key switch 37, even among game store clerks. 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 an error state.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 periodically performs a power failure determination process to determine whether or not a voltage drop is detected in the timer interrupt process, and detects a voltage drop in the power failure determination process. If it is determined that the data is normal in the next recovery, power-off processing (main) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is normal is executed.

Then, the main control unit 41 restores the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before the power failure based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on condition that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of activation. is possible. On the other hand, if the data in the RAM 41c is not normal at the time of start-up, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, an error flag indicating the RAM abnormality is set in the RAM 41c, and the RAM abnormal error state is controlled to disable the progress of the game. It's becoming The RAM abnormality error state shifts to the setting change state and is released by setting a new set value, thereby enabling the progress of the game.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when an abnormality is detected in accordance with the progress of the game, the main control section 41 sets an error flag indicating the type of the detected abnormality in the RAM 41c, and controls the normal error state. and disable the progress of the game. The general error state is canceled by a reset operation using the reset switch 23 or the reset/setting switch 38, and the game can proceed. In the following description, when there is no need to distinguish between a RAM abnormal error state and a general error state, they are simply referred to as an error state.

When a game is played in 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, a predetermined winning line LN (see FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the middle row of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, the horizontal ) is enabled, and the operation of the start switch 7 is enabled, that is, the game can be started. When the maximum number of medals among the specified number corresponding to the game state is exceeded, the amount is added to the credits. Also, in this embodiment, only one pay line is applied, but a plurality of pay lines may be applied.

Further, in this embodiment, invalid lines LM1 to LM6 are set in addition to the winning line LN in order to make it easier to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting the winning line LN has been completed. Winning of the invalid lines LM1-LM6 is not determined by a combination of symbols aligned on these invalid lines LM1-LM6. Recognizing that the winning line LN has a combination of symbols that constitute a winning by configuring a combination of suggestive symbols suggesting winning in any of 6 (for example, Bell a-Bell a-Bell a). to make it easier. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper stage of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, the invalid line LM1 set across the symbols horizontally arranged on the upper stage, and the lower stage of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. That is, the invalid line LM2 set across the symbols aligned horizontally in the lower stage, the upper stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, and the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, the invalid line set across the symbols aligned downward to the right. LM3, the lower line of the reel 2L, the middle line of the reel 2C, the upper line of the reel 2R, i.e., the invalid line LM4 set across the symbols aligned upward to the right, the upper line of the reel 2L, the middle line of the reel 2C, the upper line of the reel 2R, that is, The invalid line LM5 set across the symbols arranged in a small V shape, the lower stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, and the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, the invalid line LM6 set across the symbols arranged in a small mountain shape. Six types are defined as invalid lines.

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 performed, and until the maximum 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, one pattern out of the patterns for a total of five frames (withdrawal range). can be selected and led out to the reels 2L, 2C, 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 drawn 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 symbol that does not constitute any winning combination onto the winning line LN, and to stop the rotation of the reel whose stop switch is operated.

In addition, in the stop control, when the winning of the special winning combination (BB in this embodiment) that accompanies the transition of the game state is carried over, the internal lottery wins the small winning combination that accompanies the provision of medals, and the special winning combination is selected. and small wins are won at the same time, control is performed so that the constituent symbols of the winning minor win are preferentially drawn to the winning line LN within the above-described drawing range, and the winning minor win wins. When the composition patterns cannot be drawn into the pay line LN, the composition patterns of the winning special combination are controlled to be drawn into the pay line LN. Therefore, in a game in which a special role and a minor role are won at the same time, it is difficult to win the winning special role.

In addition, in the stop control, when the winning of the special role (BB in this embodiment) is carried over, the replay role accompanied by the provision of the replay is won by the internal lottery, and the special role and the replay role are won. are winning at the same time, the constituent symbols of the winning replay combination are preferentially drawn to the winning line LN. The symbols constituting the replay combination on each of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are arranged within a predetermined drawing range, and when the replay combination is won, the symbols constituting the replay combination are always drawn into the winning line LN. Become. Therefore, in a game in which a special role and a replay role are won at the same time, the winning special role cannot be awarded.

When all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, one game is finished, and a combination of symbols of a predetermined winning combination is displayed on each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R and stopped on the winning line LN. When a prize is generated in the game, control is performed according to the prize. When a small winning combination is won, the number of medals determined according to the type is given to the player and added to the 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 replay combination wins, a replay that allows a game to be played without inserting medals is provided. Also, when a special role is won, the game state is shifted to a special game state.

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 type of winning combination (hereinafter referred to as winning combination) is determined according to the gaming state, and there is no need to set a small combination involving the payout of medals and the number of bets. There are a replay role in which a replay that allows the next game to start is provided, and a special role accompanied by a transition to a special game state. 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 win 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 predetermined number When the operation of the start switch 7 is detected with the number of bets set, a random number is used to determine.

Of the winning flags for each role, the winning flags for the small winning combination and the replaying combination are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game. It is valid until the combination of winning combinations allowed by the flag is complete, and becomes invalid in a game in which the combination of winning winning combinations is complete. 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's becoming

Further, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, the order of pressing, the operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. , a replaying combination (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a navigating 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 notification for notifying the navigation number that can specify 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 to an assist time (AT) state that is a possible notification period. The main control unit 41 starts controlling the AT state when the player is given the right to be controlled in the AT state. Then, when the control is in the AT state, by winning the navigation target role, the navigation notification is executed, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that is advantageous to the player (for example, the pressing order , operation timing, etc.) are notified using the game auxiliary display device 12, and a command capable of specifying an operation mode advantageous to the player is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, whereby the operation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display. The navigation effect notified by using the device 51 or the like is executed. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in an operation mode notified by the navigation notification and the navigation performance, the navigation target role won by the internal lottery can be surely won.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 is provided with a game auxiliary display 12 capable of displaying the number of medals to be paid out, an error code, and navigation information. Although it is a configuration for notifying navigation information, it may be configured to provide a dedicated display capable of displaying only navigation information, and to notify navigation information using the dedicated display in the control of navigation information.

[About game status]
As shown in FIG. 4, the main control unit 41 can control the game state to be either a normal game state or a special game state. The normal game state includes a normal game state (non-internal) in which winning of BB is not carried over and a normal game state (during internal) in which winning of BB is carried over.

The normal game state (non-inside) is a state in which BB has not been won in the normal game state. This is a gaming state in which the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized by setting a new set value by moving the slot machine 1 to the factory shipment state or the setting change state. Also, when the special game state is terminated, the normal game state (non-internal state) is entered. The normal game state (non-internal) is continued until BB wins in the internal lottery, and in the game in which BB wins in the internal lottery, BB does not win and the game shifts to the normal game state (internal). Alternatively, the game ends when BB wins a prize in a game in which BB wins an internal lottery and shifts to a special game state.

The normal game state (during internal) is a state in which BB is carried over in the normal game state. In this embodiment, when the special combination and the minor combination are won at the same time, the control is performed to align the small combination with priority, and when the special combination and the re-game combination are simultaneously won, the re-game combination is executed. BB is prevented from winning even when a minor winning combination is won in a normal game state (internal medium) and when a replaying combination is won. And, in the normal game state (during internal), any small combination or any re-game combination will always be won, so once it shifts to the normal game state (during internal), BB will not win, and the normal game state ( After shifting to internal), the normal game state (internal) is maintained until the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized by setting a new setting value by shifting to the setting change state. It is designed to be

The special game state shifts when BB wins in a game in which BB wins in the normal game state (non-inside), and RB (the probability of winning a small combination is higher than in the normal game state) over the entire period in the special game state. game state), and continues until a predetermined end condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, the total number of medals paid out in the special game state exceeds 50), and the predetermined end The game ends when the conditions are met and the game shifts to the normal game state (non-inside).

As described above, in this embodiment, most of the game is controlled in the normal game state (during internal). In the example, the medal payout rate is designed according to 1 to 6).

[Regarding the target role of the internal lottery]
As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, in the normal game state (not inside), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, Strong Chance Replay B, Specific Small Win A + 1, Specific Small Win B + 1, 1, Navi Small Win, 3, BB, BB + 3 are subject to internal lottery. In the normal game state (non-internal), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific small combination A + 1, specific small Winning probability of role B + 1 card, 1 card, Navi small role, 3 cards, BB, BB + 3 cards is about 1/9.9, about 1/65, about 1/16384, about 1/137, about 1/101 , about 1/524, about 1/655, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1/1.37, about 1/3449, about 1/16384, about 1/14.6 It is set, and the probability of not winning (losing) is 0.

In addition, in the normal game state (inside), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific small role A + 1, Specific small win B + 1, 1, Navi small win, 3 will be subject to internal lottery. Normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific small win A + 1, specific small win The odds of winning B+ 1 card, 1 card, Navi small role, and 3 cards are about 1/9.9, about 1/65, about 1/8192, about 1/137, about 1/101, about 1/524, respectively. It is set to about 1/655, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1/1.37, about 1/14.5, and the probability of losing (losing) is 0. .

In addition, in the special game state (RB), the composite small winning combination A and the composite small winning combination B are subject to the internal lottery. In the special game state (RB), the winning probabilities of the composite minor win A and the composite minor win B are set to about 1/33 and about 1/1.2, respectively, and the probability of not winning (losing) is about 1/7.3.

When the normal replay A wins, the normal replay A always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the normal replay B is won, the normal replay B always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the normal replay C is won, the normal replay C always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing.

When weak chance replay A wins, weak chance replay A always wins regardless of stop operation order and stop operation timing. When weak chance replay B is won, weak chance replay B always wins regardless of stop operation order and stop operation timing. When winning the strong chance replay A, the strong chance replay A always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When strong chance replay B is won, strong chance replay B always wins regardless of stop operation order and stop operation timing.

A replay is awarded when a normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, or strong chance replay B is won.

The specific small winning combination A+1 is a winning combination of a specific small winning combination A and 1, and when the specific small winning combination A+1 is won, the left reel is stopped at the timing of the stopping operation which is within the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A. When the operation is performed, regardless of the stop operation order, while the specific minor winning combination A with the payout of 15 medals is won, the left reel is operated at the timing of the stop operation outside the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific minor winning combination A. When the stop operation is performed, regardless of the order of the stop operation, one medal accompanied by the payout of one medal is awarded.

The specific small winning combination B+1 is a winning combination of a specific small winning combination B and 1, and when the specific small winning combination B+1 is won, the left reel is stopped at the timing of the stopping operation which is within the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination B. When the operation is performed, regardless of the stop operation order, while the specific minor winning combination B accompanied by the payout of 15 medals is won, the left reel is operated at the timing of the stop operation outside the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific minor winning combination B. When the stop operation is performed, regardless of the order of the stop operation, one medal accompanied by the payout of one medal is awarded.

When one medal is won, one medal always accompanies the payout of one medal regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. As described above, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won and the left reel is stopped at the timing of the stop operation that is outside the withdrawal range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A, or when the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won , Even if the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a stop operation timing that is outside the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small role B, regardless of the order of the stop operation, one piece will be won, so the specific small role As a result of performing the stop operation of the left reel at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of A and the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination B, when one prize is won, It is not possible to determine whether the specific small winning combination A+1 and the specific small winning combination B+1 have been won, or whether one has been won.

A small navigator win is a combination in which a plurality of small navigator wins (main and minor navigator wins in this embodiment) are won. When the stop operation of the first reel to be stopped at the stop operation timing (first stop reel) is performed, while the main and minor winning combination with the payout of 15 medals is won, the stop operation other than the corresponding stop operation order is performed. When the stop operation is performed in order, or when the stop operation of the first stop reel is performed at a stop operation timing other than the corresponding stop operation timing, one medal is paid out according to the stop operation timing. Either the minor role wins, or none of the roles wins. That is, the expected value of the number of awarded medals changes due to the difference in the stop operation order and the stop operation timing of the first stop reel, and the stop operation order and the stop operation timing corresponding to the winning navigation minor role are determined by the navigation notification. The expected value of the number of awarded medals is changed by the notification.

When 3 medals are won, 3 medals are always won with payout of 3 medals regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing.

When the BB is won, if the stop operation is performed at the stop operation timing within the withdrawal range of the constituent symbols of the BB (in this embodiment, the combination of "white 7-plum-plum") on all the reels, the BB is When a prize is won and the game state shifts to a special game state, when a stop operation is performed at a stop operation timing that is out of the withdrawal range of the constituent symbols of the BB on any of the reels, neither winning combination is lost. , and BB are carried over to the next game and thereafter, the state shifts to the normal game state (during internal).

BB+3 is a combination in which BB and 3 are won, and when BB+3 is won, regardless of the stop operation order or stop operation timing, 3 medals will always be won with payout of 3 medals, and BB will be won. is carried over to the next game and thereafter, the state shifts to the normal game state (internal middle).

Composite minor winning combination A is a combination in which all main minor winning combinations, specific minor winning combination A, and specific minor winning combination B are won. Regardless, a specific main and minor role with payout of 15 medals always wins.

Composite minor winning combination B is a combination in which all the sub-small winning combinations that make up the navigation minor winning combination and 1 and 3 are won. One prize is awarded with one medal payout.

Lottery targets for the internal lottery (including non-winning) include non-winning, normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific Winning numbers from 0 to 39 are assigned in the order of small win A + 1, specific small win B + 1, 1, navigation small win 3, BB, BB + 3, combined small win A, and combined small win B. , the winning number corresponding to the lottery result of the internal lottery is set in the RAM 41c. In addition, the lottery targets of the internal lottery (including non-winning) are the corresponding flags for transition to the advantageous section 0 to 4, lottery flags 1 for 0 to 3, lottery flags 2 for 0 to 3, and 0 to 4. , and a flag for shifting to an advantageous section and flags 1 to 3 for lottery according to the result of the internal lottery (winning number) are set in the RAM 41c. The advantageous section transition flag is referred to when determining whether or not to transition to an advantageous section. Also, lottery flags 1 to 3 are referred to when determining whether or not to conduct a lottery related to the AT state, and when performing a lottery related to the AT state.

0 is assigned to the advantageous zone transition flag for lottery targets other than the advantageous zone transition role. A common value is assigned to lottery targets having common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery that is performed at the time of section transition. Therefore, the main control unit 41 does not need to individually specify whether or not it is an advantageous section transition hand from each winning number when determining whether or not to make a transition to an advantageous section. Depending on whether the flag is 0 or not, it is possible to specify whether or not it is an advantageous section transition hand. Also, when specifying the probability corresponding to the winning number in the lottery performed at the time of transition to the advantageous interval, the probability is not specified from each winning number, but the probability corresponding to the winning number is determined from the value of the flag for transitioning to the advantageous interval. It is designed to be specified, so there is no need to set the probability for each winning number, and by setting the probability for each advantageous section transition flag, which is less than the number of types of winning numbers, the probability according to the attribute of the lottery target can be specified.

As for the lottery flag, 0 is assigned to lottery targets that are not subject to lottery related to AT state, and lottery targets that are subject to lottery related to grant of AT are, for example, a plurality of types of navigation minor roles. A common value is assigned to a lottery target having a common attribute that does not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery related to the AT state. Therefore, when performing a lottery related to the AT state, the main control unit 41 does not need to individually specify whether or not to perform the lottery based on each winning number. It can be specified whether or not to perform a lottery related to the AT state. Also, when specifying the probability corresponding to the winning number in the lottery related to the AT state, the probability corresponding to the winning number is specified from the value of the lottery flag instead of specifying the probability from each winning number. Therefore, there is no need to determine the probability for each winning number, and by determining the probability for each lottery flag, which is less than the number of types of winning numbers, it is possible to specify the probability according to the attribute of the lottery target. can. In addition, the lottery flags are different lottery flags 1 to 1 for lottery objects that are not subject to lottery related to AT state, and lottery objects that have common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing lottery related to AT state. 3, and by using one of the lottery flags 1 to 3 according to the type of lottery related to the AT state, it is excluded from the lottery related to the AT state according to the type of lottery related to the AT state. Different lottery targets can be set, and different probabilities can be set for each lottery target having a common attribute that does not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery related to the AT state.

[Regarding Navi Minor Roles, Specific Minor Roles, and Complex Minor Roles]
The small navigator wins and specific small wins that are subject to the internal lottery in the normal game state (non-internal medium/internal medium) and the complex small wins that are subject to the internal lottery in the special game state (RB) will be described.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, 7 red areas and 7 white areas are assigned to reels 2L, 2C and 2R, respectively. On the left reel, the red 7 area is the area of symbol numbers 7-16, and the white 7 area is the area of symbol numbers 1-6 and 17-20. On the middle reel, the red 7 area is the area of symbol numbers 8-17, and the white 7 area is the area of symbol numbers 1-7 and 18-20. On the right reel, the red 7 area is the area of symbol numbers 7-16, and the white 7 area is the area of symbol numbers 1-6 and 17-20. In any reel, the red 7 area is an area that includes the pull-in range of the "red 7" pattern and the range where the "red 7" pattern is positioned in the transparent window 3, and the timing at which the "red 7" pattern passes is used as a guide. By doing so, it is possible to perform a stop operation in the red 7 area. Also, in any reel, the white 7 area is an area including the drawing range of the "white 7" pattern and the range where the "white 7" pattern is positioned in the transparent window 3, and the timing of the passage of the "white 7" pattern is determined. By using it as a guideline, it is an area in which a stop operation can be performed in the white 7 area. In addition, the range of the red 7 area and the white 7 area in any reel is a range of 10 consecutive patterns, each of which is 1/2 of the circumference of the reel.

Incidentally, hereinafter, the reel to be stopped first is called the first stop reel, the reel to be stopped second is called the second stop reel, and the reel to be stopped third is called the third stop reel.

As shown in FIG. 6, the small navigators include: red left middle bell A, red left middle bell B, red left right bell A, red left right bell B, red middle left bell A, red middle left bell B, red middle right. Bell A, red middle right bell B, red right left bell A, red right left bell B, red right middle bell A, red right middle bell B, white left middle bell A, white left middle bell B, white left right bell A, white left right Bell B, white center left bell A, white center left bell B, white center right bell A, white center right bell B, white right left bell A, white right left bell B, white right center bell A, white right center bell B be

The red middle left bell A is a combination in which the upper bell A wins as a main and minor combination with the payout of 15 medals together with the minor combination with the payout of 1 medal. When the red left center bell A is won, if it is operated in the corresponding operation mode (operation mode in which the left reel, middle reel, right reel stop operation order, and the left reel stop operation timing is the red 7 area) , upper bell A is led to the winning line LN, and the upper bell A wins. At this time, one of the bells a to c is aligned with the invalid line LM1. Further, when the red middle left bell A is won, if the player is operated in an operation mode other than the corresponding operation mode, the symbol combination of the minor combination is derived to the pay line LN according to the stop operation timing, and the minor combination is drawn to the winning line LN. wins a prize, or a symbol combination that does not form any combination is drawn to the winning line LN, resulting in a loss that does not win any combination.

The red middle left bell B is a combination in which the upper bell B wins as a main small combination with payout of 15 medals together with a sub-small combination with payout of 1 medal.

[Regarding the probability of winning small wins that make up navigation small wins, specific small wins, and compound small wins]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, in the normal game state (non-internal/internal), the winning probability of the red middle left bell A winning the upper bell A, the winning probability of the red middle bell Winning probability of B, winning probability of red left and right bell A winning right falling bell A, winning probability of red left and right bell B winning small V bell A, winning probability of middle red bell A winning middle bell A, Probability of winning the left bell B in red with small mountain bell A winning Probability of winning right bell A in red with rising right bell A Winning probability of right bell B in red with rising bell B Winning probability of right bell B in red with rising right bell The probability of winning red right left bell A when C wins, the probability of winning red right left bell B when Oyama Bell B wins, the probability of winning red right middle bell A winning middle bell B, the winning probability of red right middle bell A winning bottom bell A Winning probability of bell B, Winning probability of white left middle bell A winning upper bell C, Winning probability of white left middle bell B winning upper bell D, Winning probability of white left right bell A winning right falling bell B , Winning probability of white left and right bell B winning small V bell B, winning probability of white center left bell A winning middle bell C, winning probability of white middle left bell B winning small mountain bell C, right rising bell D Winning probability of right bell A in white with rising bell E winning probability of right bell B in white with rising bell E winning Probability of winning right bell B in white with rising right bell F winning Right and left bell A winning probability White mountain bell D wins The winning probability of the right and left bell B, the winning probability of the white right middle bell A winning the middle bell D, and the winning probability of the white right middle bell B winning the bottom bell B are all 2000/65536. The odds of winning a specific small winning combination A+1 winning a B and the winning odds of a specific small winning combination B+1 winning a specific small winning combination B are both 1345/65536.

In addition, in the special game state (RB), all the main and minor roles, that is, upper bells A to D, middle bells A to D, lower bells A and B, falling bells A and B, rising bells A to F, and hills The odds of winning the composite small win 1 in which Bells A to D, small V-bells A and B, and specific small wins A and B are won are 2001/65536, and the normal game state (non-internal medium/internal medium). It is set higher than the winning probability (2000/65536) of each major and minor combination in

In addition, the probability of winning one of the main and minor wins in the special game state (RB) is higher (2001/65536 ) is set lower. That is, the probability of winning each main and minor combination in the normal game state (non-internal medium/internal medium) is set lower than the probability of winning the main and minor combination in the special game state (RB). The probability of winning any major or minor combination in the special game state (RB) is set lower than the probability of winning any major or minor combination in the state (medium/internal medium).

For this reason, for example, if there is only one kind of main and minor winning combination in the navigation small combination corresponding to the same operation mode, the winning probability of each major and minor combination in the normal game state (non-internal medium/internal medium) is high. If the probability of winning the main and minor combination in the special game state (RB) is set higher than that, the probability of winning the main and minor combination in the special game state (RB) becomes relatively high. In the embodiment, the same operation mode is used in the configuration in which the winning probability of the major and minor winning combination in the special game state (RB) is set higher than the winning probability of each major and minor winning combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium/internal medium). By setting a plurality of types (in this embodiment, two types) of main and minor wins to be won in the corresponding navigation minor wins, the probability of winning each major and minor win in the normal game state (non-internal medium/internal medium) is reduced. , it is possible to reduce the probability of winning the main and minor combination in the special game state (RB) by that amount.

In addition, the probability of winning the specific small wins A and B in the normal game state (non-internal medium/internal medium) is 1345/65536, respectively. It is set lower than the winning probability (2000/65536). Therefore, the odds of winning the specific small wins A and B, in which 15 medals can be obtained without fail, are not increased excessively by operating in an operation mode in which the left reel stop operation timing is the white 7 area.

In addition, the winning probability of the composite minor winning combination 1 in which all the main minor winning combinations and the specific minor winning combinations A and B are won in the special game state (RB) is 2001/65536. Higher than the winning probability (2000/65536) of each of the main and minor wins in the internal medium), and higher than the winning probability (1345/65536) of each of the specific minor wins A and B in the normal game state (non-internal medium/internal medium) is set.

In addition, the probability (50690/65536) of winning any one of the main and minor wins A and B in the normal game state (non-internal medium/internal medium) is higher in the special game state (RB). winning probability (2001/65536), and the winning probability (2001/65536) of the specific minor wins A and B in the special game state (RB) are set lower. That is, the probability of winning each of the main and minor wins and the specific minor wins A and B in the normal game state (non-internal medium/internal medium) is the probability of winning the major and minor wins and the specific minor wins A and B in the special game state (RB). However, in the special game state (RB), the probability of winning any of the main and minor wins A and B in the normal game state (non-internal middle/internal middle) is higher. The odds of winning the winning combination and the specific small winning combinations A and B are set low.

In addition, when there is only one type of specific small winning combination, the probability of winning the specific small winning combination in the normal game state (non-internal medium/internal medium) is high, and the probability of winning the specific small combination in the special game state (RB) is higher If the winning probability of the main and minor winning combination is set high, the winning probability of the specific minor winning combination and the main and minor winning combination in the special game state (RB) becomes relatively high. In a configuration in which the probability of winning a specific minor winning combination and a main minor winning combination in a special game state (RB) is set higher than the winning probability of a specific minor winning combination in a non-internal middle/internal medium), there are multiple types of specific small winnings (this implementation In the example, there are two types), so that the individual winning probability of the specific small wins A and B in the normal game state (non-internal/internal) is reduced, so that the specific small win A in the special game state (RB) , B and the winning probability of the major and minor winnings can be lowered.

[About the game section]
The main control unit 41 can control the game section to be either a normal section or an advantageous section.

The normal section is a game section in which navigation notification is not performed, and is started by starting the next game after the advantageous section ends. After that, the normal section ends in a game in which an advantageous section transition combination is won in an internal lottery in a game controlled to a game state other than the special game state. In the normal section, the section display LED 19 is always controlled to be turned off.

The advantageous section is a game section in which the navigation notification may be performed, and is a game section that is more advantageous to the player than the normal section because the navigation notification can be executed. The advantageous interval is determined by winning the advantageous interval transition hand in an internal lottery in a game that is controlled to a game state other than the special game state in the game of the normal interval, and it is decided to move to the advantageous interval and start from the next game. be done. After that, the end condition (end conditions 1 to 3 to be described later) of the advantageous section is satisfied, and the process ends. The main control unit 41 lights the section display LED 19 at the start of the advantageous section, thereby making it possible to recognize that the advantageous section is in progress. After that, the main control unit 41 turns off the section display LED 19 when the advantageous section ends, and ends the section display.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 lights the section display LED 19 at the start of the game in which the advantageous section starts, thereby starting notification that the advantageous section is being controlled. At the start of the game, when the medal payout rate (the number of medals paid out/the number of bets) can exceed 100% due to the first navigation notification after the start of the section, the section display LED 19 is turned on to control the advantageous section. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which notification to the effect that the

In addition, the main control unit 41 has a normal state in which navigation notification is not performed in an advantageous section, a CZ (chance zone) state in which navigation notification is not performed but the probability of transition to the AT state increases, and an AT state in which navigation notification is performed. It is possible to control to a plurality of types of advantageous interval states with different advantages for the player, including the like.

End condition 1 is established when the number of games in the advantageous interval (the number of games in the advantageous interval) reaches a first prescribed number (1500 games in this embodiment) defined as the upper limit number of games. , The end is established when the net increase in the number of medals after the increase/decrease in the number of medals changes from a decreasing trend to an increasing trend in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number (2400 in this embodiment) defined as the upper limit number of medals. Condition 2 includes termination condition 3, which is satisfied when a predetermined arbitrary condition (in this embodiment, the AT state termination condition is satisfied) is satisfied, and at least one of termination conditions 1 to 3 is established, the advantageous section ends.

In this embodiment, the game section is shifted to the advantageous section by winning a predetermined advantageous section transition combination when the game section is controlled to the normal section. When it is controlled to the normal section, the advantageous section transition lottery is performed by winning the advantageous section transition lottery target role in the internal lottery, and the game section is changed to the advantageous section by winning the advantageous section transition lottery. It may be configured to shift to .

Further, in the case of carrying out the reel effect of varying the reels in the frozen state, a process of varying the reels in a variation mode according to the type of the reel effect is performed.

Next, after the freeze process is completed, the interrupt prohibition is set (Sa11), and a game start time setting process (Sa12) for setting a predetermined time to start rotation of the reels is performed. In the game start setting process, a reel rotation start process is performed at the start of a game, and the reels are started to rotate toward a constant speed rotation.

Next, after the game start setting process, the interrupt permission is set (Sa13), and an external output signal (for the game) is output from a predetermined output port to an external device such as a call lamp, a hall computer, or a test device. External signal processing (Sa14) at the start of rotation for outputting a medal IN signal indicating the number of medals used) is performed.

Next, after the external signal processing at the start of rotation, reel stop processing (Sa15) for controlling the stop of the reels is performed. In the reel stop processing, when performing navigation notification, the operation mode is notified by displaying the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area on the game auxiliary display 12 . Further, when all spinning reels are rotating at a constant speed, the reception of the stop operation of the spinning reels is validated, and the system waits until the player stops the reels. Then, when a valid stop operation is detected for the reel for which the stop operation is valid, reel stop control is performed to stop the reel for which the valid stop operation has been performed. Such reel stop control is repeatedly performed for the spinning reels to stop the rotation of all the reels, thereby ending the reel stop processing.

Next, after the reel stop process, the winning search process (Sa16) is performed. In the winning search process, a winning symbol combination is searched based on the symbol combinations stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and a winning flag indicating whether or not a winning has occurred and the number of medals to be paid out in accordance with the winning are stored in the RAM 41c. is set in a predetermined area.

The target area at the time of setting start is an area in which data that needs to be initialized at the start of the setting change state, such as input buffers of various switches and sensors and output buffers of LEDs, etc., is stored. The target area for the end of the advantageous interval is data that needs to be initialized at the end of the advantageous interval among the information related to the advantageous interval (e.g., flag during the advantageous interval, signal buffer during the advantageous interval, data indicating the state of the advantageous interval, etc.). is stored. The target area at the end of setting is an area for storing data that must be initialized at the end of the setting change state, such as data related to the credit counter, the output buffer of the auxiliary game display 12, and the rotation control of the reels. The target area at the end of the special game state is an area for storing data that must be initialized at the end of the special game state, such as a game state flag indicating the game state and information related to the special game state. The target area at the end of each game is an area for storing data that needs to be initialized for each game, such as the internal lottery result (winning number), lottery flag, number of inserted medals, number of paid out medals, and the like. Among the target areas at the end of each game, especially the target area at the end of each game (AT related) stores data (for example, navigation number, etc.) that needs to be initialized every game among the information related to the advantageous section. area.

In the following, the target area for all initialization is area A, the target area at the start of setting is area B, the target area at the end of the advantageous section is C area, the target area at the end of setting is D area, and the target area at the end of the special game state is The E region, the target region at the end of each game (usually 1) is called the F region, the target region at the end of each game (related to AT) is sometimes called the G region, and the target region at the end of each game (usually 2) is sometimes called the H region.

As shown in FIG. 10(b), when the main control unit 41 determines that there is an abnormality in the RAM 41c at the start of the slot machine 1 or the like, the main control unit 41 resets the total initialization address (F000(H)) (FIG. 10 (a)) to the initialization end address (F1BB(H)) (see FIG. 10(a)) are collectively initialized and 0 is set.

In addition, before shifting to the setting change state, the main control unit 41 clears the area (B to H area) from the setting start address (see FIG. 10A) to the initialization end address (F1BB(H)). Collect and set 0.

Further, when the setting change state ends, the main control unit 41 batches the area (D to H areas) from the setting end address (see FIG. 10A) to the initialization end address (F1BB(H)). and set to 0.

In addition, when the special game state ends, the main control unit 41 clears the area (E to H area) from the special game state end address (see FIG. 10A) to the initialization end address (F1BB (H)). Initialize all at once and set 0.

At the end of the advantageous interval, the main control unit 41 also controls the area (D area) from the advantageous interval end address 1 (see FIG. 10A) to the set end address and the advantageous interval end address 2 (see FIG. 10). (a)) to address 2 (see FIG. 10(a)) at the end of each game (G area) are initialized and set to 0 respectively.

Further, at the end of each game, the main control unit 41 controls the area (areas F to G) from the address 1 at the end of each game (see FIG. 10(a)) to the initialization end address (see FIG. 10(a)). are collectively initialized and set to 0.

[Regarding operation signal setting processing]
Next, the control contents of the operation signal setting process performed by the main control section 41 in the main process will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the operation signal setting process, first, after all registers are saved in the stack (Sb1), the serial communication circuit is set (Sb2), and the serial communication circuit 41d is activated.

Next, the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d is initialized (Sb3), the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c is acquired, and set in the A register (Sb4). Then, it is determined whether or not the navigation number set in the A register is 0 (Sb5), and if the navigation number is not 0, that is, if the navigation number is 1 or more, and the navigation notification is performed, Sb7 If the navigation number is 0, that is, if the navigation notification is not performed, the winning number set in the RAM 41c is acquired, and the winning number is an argument (a value of 14 or more according to the winning number). and set it in the A register to update the value of the A register (Sb6), and proceed to Sb7.

At Sb7, the value set in the A register at Sb4 or Sb6 is used as an argument, and the stopping order of the reels is obtained from the reel number signal table in which the recommended stopping order corresponding to the navigation number or winning number is determined. A first stop reel, a second stop reel, and a third stop reel are set in the RAM 41c based on the stop order of the reels. Therefore, when the navigation notification is performed, the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are set based on the order in which the reels are stopped according to the navigation number, and when the navigation notification is not performed. , the winning number, that is, the stop order of the reels according to the result of the internal lottery, the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are set.

Next, using the value set in the A register as an argument, the stop execution symbol number of each reel is acquired from the stop execution symbol number table in which the recommended stop operation position of each reel corresponding to the navigation number or winning number is determined. , the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are set in the RAM 41c (Sb8). Therefore, when the navigation notification is performed, the stop execution pattern numbers of the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are set according to the navigation number, and when the navigation notification is not performed, The stop execution pattern numbers of the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are set according to the winning number, that is, the result of the internal lottery.

Next, the stop execution pattern numbers of the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are converted into the number of steps from the reference position of the reel motor that rotates the reels, and the converted number of steps is converted to the number of the first stop reel. , the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are set in the RAM 41c (Sb9).

Next, after transferring 00 (H) indicating the start of output of the operation signal to the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d (Sb10), the first stop reel, the second stop reel and the third stop reel set at Sb7 are acquired. , the first stop reel (D1), the second stop reel (D2), and the third stop reel (D3) to the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d (Sb11 to Sb13).

Next, in Sb9, the number of stop execution steps of the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel set in the RAM 41c is acquired, and the number of stop execution steps of the first stop reel (D4) and the stop of the second stop reel are obtained. The number of execution steps (D5) and the number of execution steps for stopping the third reel (D6) are transferred in order to the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d (Sb14 to Sb16).

Finally, after transferring 00 (H) indicating the end of output of the operation signal to the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d (Sb17), the register saved in the stack at Sb1 is restored (Sb18), and the main processing is returned to.

In this manner, in the operation signal setting process, it is determined whether or not the navigation number set in the game is 0 or not. , the recommended stop order and stop execution pattern number are specified according to the navigation number, and if the navigation number is 0, that is, if the navigation notification is not performed, the winning number, that is, according to the result of the internal lottery The recommended stop order and stop execution pattern number are specified.

Then, based on the stop order and the stop execution pattern number specified according to the navigation number or winning number, 00 (H) indicating the start of the operation signal, the first stop reel (D1), the second stop reel (D2), the second 3 stop reels (D3), the number of stop execution steps of the first stop reel (D4), the number of stop execution steps of the second stop reel (D5), the number of stop execution steps of the third stop reel (D6), the end of the operation signal are transferred to the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d in the order of 00 (H) indicating 00 (H), D1 , D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, and 00 (H) in the order of 00 (H). becomes identifiable.

[Regarding reel stop processing]
Next, the control contents of the reel stop process performed by the main control section 41 in the main process will be described with reference to FIG. 13 .

In the reel stop processing, first, stop control table setting processing is executed (Sc1), and a stop control table capable of specifying the number of sliding symbols for each timing at which the stop operation is performed is set in the RAM 41c for all reels. As a result, the stop control table for each reel is set during the acceleration control for each reel by timer interrupt processing.

After executing the stop control table setting process, the timer interrupt waiting process is executed (Sc2). In the timer interrupt waiting process, the timer interrupt is set to be enabled, and the process waits until the timer interrupt process is performed once.

After the timer interrupt waiting process is finished, a rotation abnormality determination process is executed to determine whether or not the reel rotation abnormality has occurred (Sc3). In the rotation abnormality determination process, a reel step number counter that is updated in the timer interrupt process and counts the number of steps from the reel reference position (for each reel, counts the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time of timer interruption). (This counter is updated by timer interrupt processing. In this embodiment, 0 to 400 steps can be counted, and is set to a value greater than the 336 steps required for one rotation of the reel.) and whether or not a rotation abnormality flag is set in the process, it is determined whether or not there is an abnormality related to the rotation of the reel under rotation control. Then, among the reels under rotation control for which the stop operation has not been completed, there are reels that have started to rotate without detection of the reel reference position or that the number of reel steps since the previous detection of the reel reference position has exceeded a predetermined number of steps. In some cases, when the reel reference position is detected by the reel sensor, the value of the reel step number counter does not reach the number of steps required for the reel to rotate once. error) has occurred, and if it is determined that an abnormality has occurred, a rotation abnormality flag capable of specifying the reel in which the abnormality has occurred is set in the RAM 41c.

After the rotation abnormality determination process is completed, it is determined whether or not the rotation abnormality of the reel is detected (Sc4), and if it is determined that the rotation abnormality is detected, the stop operation of the reel during rotation control is invalidated. setting (Sc5), and error processing is executed (Sc6). In the error processing, the rotation of all reels under rotation control is stopped, and a rotation error flag is set in the error flag setting area provided in the RAM 41c so that the reel whose rotation is stopped by the error processing can be specified. At the same time, control is made to an error state that disables the progress of the game and waits. After that, the error state is released by a reset operation, so that the error processing is terminated, and the reel re-acceleration processing is executed for the reel whose rotation was under control when the error processing was executed (Sc7), By once clearing the excitation pattern of the reel motor and newly setting the pattern for starting the reel to excite the reel motor, the rotation control is performed again from the beginning, and the rotation is accelerated again to the constant speed rotation.

In the step of Sc4, if it is determined that the abnormal rotation is not detected, the interrupt is set to be prohibited (Sc8), and the reel speed state flag updated by the timer interrupt processing and set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is obtained. Then (Sc9), based on the reel speed state flag, it is specified for each reel whether or not the rotation state of the reel under rotation control is a constant speed state, and all the reels under rotation control rotate at a constant speed. (Sc10). Then, in the step of Sc10, if it is determined that at least one reel is not rotating at a constant speed and all the reels under rotation control are not rotating at a constant speed, Sc2 , the steps of Sc2 to Sc10 are repeatedly executed, and the CPU waits until all the reels under rotation control are rotated at a constant speed. The reel speed state flag is updated in the timer interrupt process, and can specify whether or not each reel motor under rotation control is rotating at a constant speed at the time when the timer interrupt process is performed. Information.

On the other hand, in the step of Sc10, when it is determined that all the reels under rotation control for which the stop operation is not performed are rotating at a constant speed, the stop operation is accepted for all the reels under rotation control. is enabled, and among the output buffers of the valid LEDs in the RAM 41c, the output buffers of the stop valid LEDs corresponding to all the reels whose rotation is being controlled are set to be lit (Sc11). By setting the output buffer of the stop valid LED to the lighting state, the subsequent timer interrupt processing causes the stop valid LED to light up.

After enabling reception of the stop operation in the step of Sc11, the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c is obtained (Sc12), and it is determined whether or not the obtained navigation number is 0. Then (Sc13), if the navigation number is 0, the process proceeds to Sc15. It is converted into display data, set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 in the RAM 41c (Sc14), and proceeds to Sc15. When the display data is set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, the subsequent timer interrupt processing causes the game auxiliary display 12 to display the display contents based on the display data.

In Sc15, it is determined whether or not an effective stop operation has been detected for the reel under rotation control. At Sc15, when the stop switch port input data is in the same state in a predetermined number of continuous timer interrupt processes (twice in this embodiment), the input data are set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c, and the current and previous input data are set to the same state. By referring to the history of fixed data indicating the same state, there is a stop switch under rotation control whose fixed data has changed from off to on, and the output buffer of the stop effective LED is in a lighting state. , it is determined that a valid stop operation has been detected for the stop switch that satisfies both conditions.

If it is determined in Sc15 that a valid stop operation has not been detected, the process returns to step Sc2, repeats steps Sc2 to Sc15, and waits until a valid stop operation is detected.

On the other hand, if a valid stop operation is detected in Sc15, the stop operation-related processing 1 is executed in the state of interrupt prohibition set in step Sc8 (Sc16), and then interrupt permission is set ( Sc17), the stop operation related process 2 is executed (Sc18). In stop operation-related processing 1, processing for setting the output buffer of the effective stop LED corresponding to the stop switch on which the stop operation has been performed to the extinguished state, and the like are performed. After that, the stop valid LED is extinguished by executing timer interrupt processing.

After finishing the stop operation related process 2 of Sc18, the reel rotation stop process is executed (Sc19), and the setting for stopping the reel corresponding to the effective stop operation detected in the step of Sc15 is performed. After that, it is determined whether or not there is an unstopped reel for which the stop operation is not performed (Sc20), and if it is determined that there is an unstopped reel, the process returns to step Sc2, and the remaining reels that are not stopped are determined. The control of steps Sc2 to Sc20 is executed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in Sc20 that there is no unstopped reel, that is, if the reel rotation stop processing based on the stop operation of the third stop reel is completed, whether or not the display data corresponding to the navigation number is set. Regardless, the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 is initialized (Sc21). When the navigation number is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, it is hidden by timer interrupt processing.

After initializing the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 in Sc21, timer interrupt waiting processing is performed (Sc22), it is determined whether or not all reels have stopped (Sc23), and it is determined that all reels have stopped. If so, it is further determined whether or not the stop switch of the third stop reel is in operation, and in Sc23 it is determined that all reels have stopped, and in Sc24 it is determined that the stop switch of the third stop reel is not in operation. Until then, the processing from Sc22 to Sc24 is repeatedly performed, all reels are stopped, and the operation of the stop switch of the third stop reel is released, thereby terminating the reel stop processing and returning to the main processing.

In this manner, in the reel stop processing, it is determined whether or not all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed. In addition, the process of determining whether or not a stop operation has been detected is repeated, and the reels are stopped by the stop operation in a state in which all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed. can be guaranteed.

Further, it is determined whether or not all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed, and when it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed, the If the acquired navigation number is 1 or more, the process of setting the display data for displaying the navigation number to the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 is repeatedly executed. . As a result, when one or more navigation numbers are set, it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed, so that the display data for displaying the navigation number is displayed. It is set in the output buffer of the game assistance display 12 and the navigation number is displayed on the game assistance display 12. - 特許庁Further, even after the display data for displaying the navigation number is set in the output buffer of the auxiliary game display 12, each time it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed, The display data for displaying the navigation number is repeatedly set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12. After that, the stop operation of all the reels is completed, and the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 is cleared. The navigation number is continuously displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 until it is initialized. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the navigation notification is reliably performed in a state in which all the reels under rotation control are rotated at a constant speed, that is, in a state in which the stop operation is valid.

Also, during the reel stop processing, when the power supply is stopped while the navigation number is displayed, and then the power supply is resumed and the state before the power supply is stopped is restored, the output of the game auxiliary display 12 The buffer is initialized and the auxiliary game display 12 is hidden, but after that, the rotation of the reels resumes, and it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed. Display data for displaying the navigation number again is set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, and the navigation number is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. Even if the auxiliary display is not displayed, the navigation notification can be resumed in a state in which all the reels under rotation control are rotated at a constant speed, that is, in a state in which the stop operation is valid.

In each state count process, first, it is determined whether or not the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit (Se1). The total cumulative number of games is the cumulative number of games since the data in the RAM 41c was initialized at the time of shipment from the factory or for some reason, and is stored in a 3-byte storage area. Further, the total cumulative number of payouts is the cumulative number of payouts since the data in the RAM 41c was initialized at the time of shipment from the factory or for some reason, and is stored in a 3-byte storage area. be. Then, in Se1, when a total cumulative count stop flag, which will be described later, is set in the RAM 41c, it is determined that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has reached the upper limit.

When it is determined in Se1 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to step Se21. When it is determined in Se1 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has not reached the upper limit, 1 is set in the DE register as an addition value (Se2), and the area in which the total cumulative number of games is stored in the RAM 41c. is set in the HL register (Se3), and the addition value set in the DE register is added to the 3-byte value stored in the address set in the HL register. ) to update the total cumulative number of games.

Then, as a result of the addition, it is determined whether or not the total cumulative number of games has reached the upper limit and an overflow has occurred (Se5). In the 3-byte data addition/storage process, if the result after the addition overflows, the carry flag, which will be described later, is set to ON, and if the result does not overflow, the carry flag is set to OFF. It is determined whether or not an overflow has occurred depending on whether or not it is ON.

If overflow does not occur at Se5, the process proceeds to step Se7, and if overflow occurs, that is, if the total cumulative number of games has reached the upper limit, a total cumulative count stop flag is set in the RAM 41c. (Se6), go to step Se7.

In the steps from Se7, it is determined whether the total cumulative number of games is in the range of 0 to 5999 games, 6000 to 174999 games, or 175000 or more games (Se7 to Se19). Depending on the result of the determination, a value indicating being within each range is set as a lighting identification segment (Se7, Se18, Se19). The set lighting identification segment is stored in the display monitor consumption game determination area allocated to the RAM 41c. Then, after sequentially executing the role rate update process (Se21), the continuous role rate update process (Se22), and the instructed role rate update process (Se23), it returns to the game machine information calculation process.

[Regarding character ratio update processing]
Next, the control contents of the role product ratio update process performed by the main control unit 41 in each state count process will be described with reference to FIG. 16 .

As shown in FIG. 16, in the character product ratio update process, first, 1 is added to a judging game number counter for counting the number of games for judging the number of games played (Sf1).

Next, the number of payouts in the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process is added to the total payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 (Sf2 to Sf6).

Here, the cumulative buffer 1 is provided with a 3-byte total payout counter, a 3-byte role payout counter, a 3-byte continuous role payout counter, and a 3-byte instructed role payout counter. is generated and medals are paid out, each counter counts. When the count reaches 6000 games, each counter is updated to the initial value of 0, and the next game starts counting from the initial value.

Like the cumulative buffer 1, the cumulative buffer 2 is also provided with a 3-byte total payout counter, a 3-byte role payout counter, a 3-byte continuous role payout counter, and a 3-byte instructed role payout counter. When a winning occurs and medals are paid out, each counter counts. When the count reaches 6000 games, each counter is updated to the initial value of 0, and the next game starts counting from the initial value. However, the game to start counting is shifted from the total buffer 1 by 2000 games.

Similar to the cumulative buffers 1 and 2, the total buffer 3 is also provided with a 3-byte total payout counter, a 3-byte prize payout counter, a 3-byte continuous prize payout counter, and a 3-byte instructed prize payout counter. When a prize is won in the game and medals are paid out, each counter counts. When the count reaches 6000 games, each counter is updated to the initial value of 0, and the next game starts counting from the initial value. However, the game to start counting is shifted from the total buffer 1 by 4000 games and from the total buffer 2 by 2000 games.

Further, cumulative buffers 1 to 3 are stored in the RAM 41c for each of the total payout counter, the award payout counter, the continuous award payout counter, and the instructed award payout counter. More specifically, the total payout counter is stored in consecutive address areas in the order of the total payout counter of cumulative buffer 1, the total payout counter of cumulative buffer 2, and the total payout counter of cumulative buffer 3. The prize payout counter of the buffer 1, the prize payout counter of the cumulative buffer 2, and the prize payout counter of the cumulative buffer 3 are stored in consecutive address areas in this order. The product payout counter, the continuous bonus product payout counter of the cumulative buffer 2, and the continuous bonus product payout counter of the cumulative buffer 3 are stored in consecutive address areas in this order. The product payout counter, the instructed bonus bonus payout counter of the cumulative buffer 2, and the instructed bonus bonus payout counter of the cumulative buffer 3 are stored in consecutive address areas in this order.

For this reason, by setting the top address of the counter to be updated among the total payout counter, the bonus payout counter, the continuous bonus payout counter, and the instructed bonus bonus payout counter in the total buffer 1, the total from the set address can be calculated. The counter value of the buffer 1 can be specified, the counter value of the cumulative buffer 2 can be specified from the set address +3, and the counter value of the cumulative buffer 3 can be specified from the set address +6.

Returning to FIG. 16, in the processing (Sf2 to Sf6) of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the total payout counters of the total buffers 1 to 3, first, the head address of the total payout counter of the total buffer 1 (for winning prize payout addition) Address (head)) is set in the HL register (Sf2), and the number of payouts in the current game set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the prize search process (Sa16) in the main process is set in the B register as an addition value (Sf3). ).

Next, by performing 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing for adding the addition value set in the B register to the 3-byte value stored at the address set in the HL register, the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 1 Add the payout number in the game. In addition, in the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process, the address set in the HL register is updated to a numerical value (address + 3) indicating the address of the next counter, and the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process of Sf4 is By completing the process, the top address of the total payout counter of the total buffer 2 is set in the HL register.

Next, 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing is performed (Sf5), and the number of payouts in the current game is added to the total payout counter of the total buffer 2. FIG. When the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process of Sf5 ends, the top address of the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 3 is set in the HL register.

Next, 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing is performed (Sf6), and the number of payouts in the current game is added to the total payout counter of the total buffer 3. FIG.

After the processing (Sf2-Sf6) of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the total payout counter of the cumulative buffers 1-3, it is determined whether or not the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit ( Sf7). At Sf7, it is determined that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit when the aforementioned total cumulative count stop flag is set in the RAM 41c.

When it is determined in Sf7 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to step Sf13. If it is determined in Sf7 that the total cumulative number of games played or the total cumulative payout number has not reached the upper limit, the payout number in the current game is set in the DE register as an addition value (Sf8), and the total cumulative payout number is stored in the RAM 41c. is stored in the HL register (Sf9), the aforementioned 3-byte data addition/storage processing is performed (Sf10), and the number of payouts in the current game is added to the total cumulative number of payouts.

Then, as a result of the addition, it is determined whether or not the total cumulative payout number has reached the upper limit and an overflow has occurred (Sf11). At Sf11, it is determined whether or not an overflow has occurred depending on whether or not the carry flag is ON. If overflow does not occur in step Sf11, the process proceeds to step Sf13, and if overflow occurs, that is, if the total cumulative number of payouts reaches the upper limit, a total cumulative count stop flag is set in the RAM 41c. (Sf12), go to step Sf13. The total cumulative count stop flag is the same flag as when the total cumulative number of games reaches the upper limit.

In Sf13, it is determined whether or not the game state is during the accessory game. In this embodiment, since only RB is included as the accessory game, it is determined whether or not the game is controlled by RB. If it is determined in Sf13 that the accessory game is not in progress, the process proceeds to Sf23. If it is determined in Sf13 that the role product is being played, the payout in the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the prize search process (Sa16) in the main process is displayed in the role product payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3. Add the number of sheets (Sf14 to Sf18).

In the processing (Sf14 to Sf18) for adding the number of payouts in the current game to the bonus item payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3, the top address of the bonus item payout counter of the cumulative buffer 1 (address for adding the bonus item payout (top) ) is set in the HL register (Sf14), and the number of payouts in the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process is set in the B register as an additional value (Sf15). After that, by performing 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing three times, the number of payouts in the current game is added to the accessory payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 (Sf16 to Sf18).

After the processing (Sf14 to Sf18) of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the accessory payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3, it is determined whether or not the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit. (Sf19). At Sf19, it is determined that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit when the aforementioned total cumulative count stop flag is set in the RAM 41c.

When it is determined in Sf19 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to step Sf23. If it is determined in Sf19 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has not reached the upper limit, the number of payouts in the current game is set in the DE register as an added value (Sf20), and the total cumulative number of accessories is stored in the RAM 41c. The top address of the area where the payout number is stored is set in the HL register (Sf21), the above-mentioned 3-byte data addition and storage processing is performed (Sf22), and the payout number in this game is added to the total cumulative payout number of accessories. do.

Next, set the top address of the total cumulative payout number in the HL register (Sf23), set the top address of the total cumulative payout number in the DE register (Sf24), and set the numerical value stored in the address set in the DE register ( By performing 3-byte data division processing for calculating the percentage of the numerical value (dividend) stored in the address set in the HL register against the divisor), the total cumulative payout number, which is the ratio of the total cumulative payout number to the total cumulative payout number, is calculated. An item payout ratio is calculated (Sf25). Then, the calculated total accumulated accessory payout ratio is stored in the RAM 41c (Sf26).

Next, referring to the determination game number counter, it is determined whether or not the game is the update game number (Sf27 to Sf30). The judging game number counter is a counter that circulates and counts between 1 and 6000 games. is the counter used. The above determination is made by dividing the determination counter by 2000 to determine whether or not there is a remainder. If there is a remainder, the game is considered not to be the number of updated games, and each state counting process is returned to.

Further, when the judgment counter is divided by 2000 and there is no remainder, it is determined from the quotient of the division result which of the 2000 games, 4000 games, and 6000 games is the updated game (Sf31). Then, the value of the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer corresponding to the specified update game among the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 is read out and stored in the cumulative payout number of 6000 games of the buffer for calculating 6000 times in the RAM 41c. The payout counter is updated to the initial value of 0 (Sf32-Sf34). Similarly, the value of the accessory payout counter in the cumulative buffer corresponding to the specified updated game is read out and stored in the total accessory payout number of 6000 games in the 6000 times calculation buffer of the RAM 41c, and the readout source accessory payout counter is initialized. The value is updated to 0 (Sf35 to Sf37).

Next, the top address of the cumulative number of payouts for 6000 games in the buffer for calculating 6000 times (6000 total payout address) is set in the HL register (Sf38), and the number of cumulative payouts for 6000 games in the buffer for calculating 6000 times is set. By setting the top address (winning payout (6000 total) address) in the DE register (Sf39) and performing the above-mentioned 3-byte data division process, it is the ratio of the total number of payouts for 6000 games to the total number of payouts for 6000 games. The bonus payout ratio (6000G) is calculated (Sf40). Then, the calculated accessory payout ratio (6000G) is stored in the RAM 41c (Sf41). After that, it returns to each state counting process.

[Regarding the update status of each buffer]
Referring to FIG. 17, the update status of the cumulative total buffers 1 to 3 and the buffer for calculating 6000 times by the gaming machine information calculation process, and the buffer for total cumulative payout storing the total cumulative number of payouts and the total number of payouts of accessories will be described. do. Since the storage contents of the cumulative total buffers 1 to 3, the 6000 times calculation buffer, and the total cumulative calculation buffer are stored in the RAM 41c, they are retained unless the data in the RAM 41c is initialized due to an abnormality during shipment from the factory or for some reason. It is

Counting in the cumulative total buffer 1 and the total cumulative calculation buffer is started from the state where each buffer value is initialized. When 2000 games have passed, counting in the cumulative buffer 2 is started. Cumulative buffer 1 continues counting. Subsequently, when 2000 games have passed, counting in the cumulative buffer 3 is started. Cumulative buffer 1 and cumulative buffer 2 continue counting.

Further, when 2000 games have passed, the counting period in the cumulative buffer 1 reaches 6000 games. Here, the count contents of the total buffer 1 are stored in the 6000 times calculation buffer. Then, the count contents of the total buffer 1 are initialized and counting starts from the initial value (0).

After the next 2000 games have passed, the counting period in the cumulative buffer 2 reaches 6000 games. Here, the count contents of the cumulative buffer 2 are stored in the 6000 times calculation buffer. Then, the counting contents of the accumulation buffer 2 are initialized and counting starts from the initial value (0).

In this way, the counting results for 6000 games counted in the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 are stored in the calculation buffer 6000 times every 2000 games. During this time, the counting results in the total cumulative calculation buffer are accumulated without being initialized.

[Regarding continuous accessory ratio update processing]
Next, the control contents of the continuous role product ratio update process performed by the main control unit 41 in each state count process will be described with reference to FIG. 18 .

In the continuous role product ratio update process, first, it is determined whether or not the game state is during the continuous role game (Sg1). In this embodiment, since only RB is included as the continuous accessory game, it is determined whether or not the game is controlled by RB. If it is determined in Sg1 that the continuous accessory game is not in progress, the process proceeds to Sg11. When it is determined in Sg1 that the continuous role game is being played, the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the prize search process (Sa16) in the main process is set to the continuous role payout counter of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3. Add the number of payouts in (Sg2 to Sg6).

In the process (Sg2-Sg6) of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the continuous bonus payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1-3, the leading address of the continuous bonus payout counter of the cumulative buffer 1 (address for adding continuous bonus payouts) (head)) is set in the HL register (Sg2), and the number of payouts in the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process is set in the B register as an additional value (Sg3) . After that, by performing 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing three times, the number of payouts in the current game is added to the continuous accessory payout counters of the total buffers 1 to 3 (Sg4 to Sg6).

After the processing (Sg2-Sg6) of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the continuous accessory payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1-3, it is determined whether or not the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit. (Sg7). At Sg7, it is determined that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit when the aforementioned total cumulative count stop flag is set in the RAM 41c.

When it is determined in Sg7 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to step Sg11. If it is determined in Sg7 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has not reached the upper limit, the number of payouts in the current game is set in the DE register as an addition value (Sg8), and the total cumulative consecutive wins are stored in the RAM 41c. The top address of the area where the number of payouts is stored is set in the HL register (Sg9), the above-mentioned 3-byte data addition and storage processing is performed (Sg10), and the number of payouts in the current game is set as the total accumulated continuous bonus payout number. Add

(For example, when displaying 5%, "05" is displayed in the lower two digits of the gaming machine information display 50). Also, when the data to be displayed is two digits, the data to be displayed is displayed in the lower two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 (for example, when displaying 15%, the gaming machine information display 50 "15" is displayed in the last two digits of ). Thus, regardless of whether the data to be displayed on the gaming machine information display 50 is one digit or two digits, both the lower two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 are used to display the data. By displaying the ratio, it is possible to prevent misunderstanding of the display contents of the ratio. In addition, by displaying the data to be displayed using both the lower two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 regardless of whether it is one digit or two digits, the lower two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 are always displayed. If one of the data is displayed on the digit and, for example, no data is displayed on one of the displays of the lower two digits, the abnormality of the display can be recognized.

It should be noted that the abbreviation indicating the display content currently being displayed is changed so that the display content of the highest digit of the two digits to be displayed is a character other than a number (for example, "C1"). The abbreviation is displayed in the lower two digits of 50, and the data to be currently displayed in the upper two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 (for example, "60C1" for the continuous bonus payout ratio for the past 6000 games). is also displayed, it is possible to prevent misunderstanding of the display contents of the ratio or the ratio due to the abbreviated numerical portion and the ratio or the ratio being adjacent to each other.

In addition, the two digits for displaying the abbreviation and the data to be currently displayed are displayed regardless of whether the abbreviation and the data to be currently displayed are displayed in the lower two digits or the upper two digits of the gaming machine information display device 50. Even with a configuration in which the colors of the two digits are different, it is possible to prevent misidentification of the display contents of the ratios and ratios due to the abbreviated numerical portions and the ratios and ratios being adjacent to each other.

Further, when the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment switches and displays the display contents every predetermined period in the display order shown in FIG. Even if progress is made and these values can be updated to new values, they are limited to updating to new values and wrap the display with the original values. Specifically, if the game progresses and these values can be updated to new values within one period until these displays are completed, new values are calculated and stored in the RAM 41c. However, by setting the original value without setting the new value in the output buffer for displaying the display content on the gaming machine information display device 50, the display on the gaming machine information display device 50 can be displayed in the output buffer. It is also possible to make a cycle using the set original values, set a new value in the output buffer when the cycle of display is completed, and then perform display with the new value. If these values can be updated to new values within one period until the display of the game machine information display completes one cycle, the calculation for obtaining the new values is restricted. The display on 50 is made to cycle, and when one cycle of display is completed, an operation is performed to obtain a new value, and then the display on the gaming machine information display 50 is performed using the new value. good. By doing so, it is possible to prevent values calculated at different times from being mixed during the period until the display contents on the gaming machine information display device 50 are completed.

In addition, the main control unit 41 displays a different display mode ( For example, if normal lighting is always on, the continuous bonus payout ratio is displayed by flashing lighting, etc.). In addition, the main control unit 41 displays a different display mode (e.g., If normal lighting is always on, flashing lighting, etc.) will be used to display the payout ratio of the accessory. In addition, the main control unit 41 displays a different display than normal when the instructed accessory payout ratio for the past 6000 games or the instructed accessory payout ratio to the total accumulated payout number exceeds a specified ratio (for example, 80%). The instructed accessory payout ratio is displayed in a manner (for example, blinking lighting if normal lighting is always on).

In this way, when the continuous accessory payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, or the instructed accessory payout ratio exceeds the specified ratio, the display is made in a display mode different from the usual, and the gambling property is controlled to be high. It is possible to warn that there is a possibility that

Further, when the main control unit 41 causes the gaming machine information display unit 50 to display the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus bonus payout ratio, and the instructed bonus bonus ratio for the past 6000 games, the number of past games is 6000. When the total number of games has not reached 6000 games, for example, the upper two digits of the gaming machine information display device 50 are flashed, or the like. It is possible to recognize that there is a bias in the displayed percentages and ratios.

Further, when the main control unit 41 causes the gaming machine information display device 50 to display the continuous accessory payout ratio with respect to the total accumulated payout number, the continuous accessory payout ratio generally converges to the design value of the slot machine in which the number of past games has been played. When the specified number of games (for example, 175,000 games) has not been reached, for example, the display of the upper two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 is blinked, etc. , It is possible to recognize that the continuous accessory payout ratio has not reached the specified number of games that generally converges to the design value of the slot machine, and there is a possibility that the displayed ratio and ratio are biased. It is recognizable.

Further, when the main control unit 41 causes the gaming machine information display device 50 to display the accessory payout ratio with respect to the total cumulative number of payouts, the number of past games generally converges to the design value of the slot machine. When the number of games (for example, 175,000 games) has not been reached, for example, the upper two digits of the gaming machine information display device 50 are blinked, for example, by controlling the display mode to be different from the usual display mode. It is possible to recognize that the item payout ratio has not reached the specified number of games where it generally converges to the design value of the slot machine, and it is possible to recognize the possibility that the displayed ratio and ratio are biased. It has become.

In addition, when the main control unit 41 causes the gaming machine information display device 50 to display the instructed accessory payout ratio with respect to the total cumulative number of payouts, the number of past games is approximately the designed value of the slot machine. When the specified number of games converged (for example, 175,000 games) is not reached, for example, the display of the upper two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 is blinked. By doing so, it is possible to recognize that the instructed accessory payout ratio has not reached the specified number of games that generally converges to the design value of the slot machine, and the displayed ratio and ratio are biased. Possibilities are recognizable.

Note that the main control unit 41 displays "00" in the lower two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 before reaching the 6000th game, and after reaching the 6000th game, displays the gaming machine information. The percentage to be displayed in the lower two digits of the device 50 is displayed, that is, when the number of games has not reached 6000, the display mode of the lower two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 is changed to the display mode after the 6000th game. is preferably configured to have a different display mode, and with such a configuration, when the number of games has not reached 6000, the upper two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 are displayed (for example, "1C" ) does not reach 6000 games, and it can be recognized that the displayed percentages and ratios may be biased. In addition, when the number of games has not reached 6000, by displaying "00" in the lower two digits of the gaming machine information display 50, the gaming machine information is always displayed when the number of games has not reached 6000. Data is displayed in the lower two digits of the display 50. For example, when data is not displayed in one of the displays of the lower two digits, the abnormality of the display can be recognized.

In addition, the main control unit 41 controls the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus bonus payout ratio, the instructed bonus bonus payout ratio, the continuous bonus bonus payout ratio to the total accumulated payout number, the bonus bonus ratio, and the instructed bonus bonus for the past 6000 games. It is determined whether the data used to calculate the product payout ratio is normal or not, and if it is determined to be abnormal If the number of handouts to be paid out is large, or if the stored value is in a certain data format (01 repetition, etc.), the data determined to be abnormal and the data related to the data are initialized, and the game machine The information display device 50 is caused to indicate that an abnormality has been detected (for example, "FFFF") to inform the user of the fact, thereby recognizing that the calculation of these data is not performed normally. It is possible.

When initializing the data determined to be abnormal and the data related to the data, for example, out of the continuous accessory payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the instructed accessory payout ratio in the past 6000 games, If at least one of them is determined to be abnormal, all of the data may be initialized, or only a portion of the data may be initialized. If at least one of the continuous accessory payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the commanded accessory payout ratio with respect to the total cumulative payout number is determined to be abnormal, the data related to all of these are initialized. Alternatively, only part of the data may be initialized. In addition, when it is determined that a part of the data for the past 6000 games is abnormal, all the data for the past 6000 games and the total number of games is initialized, or conversely, part of the data for the total number of games is initialized. All of the data for the past 6000 games and the total cumulative number of games may be initialized when an abnormality is determined in the above.

In addition, it is determined whether or not the data used for calculating the continuous accessory payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the instructed accessory payout ratio for the past 6000 games and the total cumulative payout number is normal, and it is determined to be abnormal. In such a case, the fact is notified, and then a predetermined operation (for example, switches such as the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and the setting key switch 37 are operated in a predetermined procedure). By doing so, the data may be initialized.

In addition, in reporting that an abnormality has been determined, as described above, the game machine information display 50 may be caused to display (for example, "FFFF") that an abnormality has been detected to notify that effect. Alternatively, when an abnormality is determined, a command that can specify the fact is transmitted to the sub-controller 91, and the liquid crystal display 51 or the like on the sub-controller 91 side notifies that the abnormality has been determined. You can do it.

In addition, the main control unit 41 controls the period from the start of counting the data until reaching 6000 games, that is, the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus bonus payout ratio, the instructed bonus bonus payout ratio, the total During a period when the data for calculating the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus bonus payout ratio, the instructed bonus bonus payout ratio, etc. with respect to the total number of payouts is insufficient, the display content of the gaming machine information display device 50 does not allow the aggregation of the data. The display mode is different from the display mode after the 6000th game from the start, so that it is possible to recognize that the data for calculating the display content is insufficient for the period.

[About the game auxiliary display]
Next, the configuration and display mode of the game auxiliary display 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 21(a), the auxiliary game display 12 includes a first segment A, a second segment B, a third segment C, a fourth segment D, a fifth segment E, a sixth segment F, and a seventh segment. G and the eighth segment DP are composed of two indicators 12L and 12R that can be turned on/off, respectively. It is a display capable of displaying various information by turning on or off the 8 segments A to DP.

As shown in FIG. 21(b), the display data is composed of 8-bit data. Among the display data, the value of the 7th bit is the value of the first segment A, the value of the 6th bit is the value of the second segment B, The value of the 5th bit is the 3rd segment C, the value of the 4th bit is the 4th segment D, the value of the 3rd bit is the 5th segment E, the value of the 2nd bit is the 6th segment F, the value of the 1st bit is The seventh segment G and the 0th bit value correspond to the eighth segment DP, respectively. When the value of the corresponding bit is 0, the segment is controlled to be in the non-lighting state, and when the value of the corresponding bit is 1, it is controlled to be in the lighting state.

As shown in FIG. 21(c), when the display values are displayed on the display devices 12L and 12R of the game auxiliary display device 12, the main control unit 41 first sets the display values to display data for each of the display devices 12L and 12R. , the display data is set in the output buffers of the corresponding displays 12L and 12R, and the port output processing in the subsequent timer interrupt processing outputs lighting/light-off signals based on the display data from the output ports to the respective displays 12L and 12R. , and the first to eighth segments A to DP of each display 12L, 12R are turned on or off to display the display values on each display 12L, 12R of the game auxiliary display 12. Let For example, when displaying "1" as the display value on the display 12L, the display value "1" is converted into display data "01100000", and "01100000" is set in the output buffer of the display 12L. Then, by outputting the ON/OFF signals corresponding to the first to eighth segments A to DP of the display 12L from the output port to the display 12L by the port output processing in the timer interrupt processing, the display data is set to "1". The second and third segments B and C of the display 12L corresponding to the 6th and 5th bits set are turned on, and the 7th bit and the 4th to 0th bits set to "0" in the display data The first segment A and the fourth to eighth segments D to DP of the corresponding display 12L are turned off, and "1" is displayed on the display 12L.

In this manner, the main control unit 41 controls a plurality of segments of each of the indicators 12L and 12R to be in the lighting state or the non-lighting state, thereby displaying predetermined numbers (“0” to “9”) or symbols as display values. (eg, "-", ".", etc.) and alphabetic characters (eg, "E", etc.) are displayed in one or two digits, so that various information can be displayed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, the number of medals to be paid out (0 to 15), navigation information indicating the operation mode (1 to 13), an error code that can identify the type of error that has occurred (E1 to E8), it is possible to display a setting code (--) that can identify the setting change state.

[Regarding the display status of the game auxiliary display]
Next, the display status of the game auxiliary display 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 to 29. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 23, when medals are inserted into the medal inserting unit 4 or the number of bets is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6, the main control unit 41 loads the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R of the RAM 41c. It is initialized and the game auxiliary display 12 is put into a non-display state.

As shown in FIG. 23(a), when the start switch 7 is operated and the navigation notification is not performed, the main control unit 41 continues the non-display state until all the reels are stopped. , and when the third stop operation is turned off, a small winning combination is won and medals are awarded, the number of payouts to be awarded by winning the small winning combination is acquired from the RAM 41c, and the acquired number of payouts is displayed. By converting into display data for each of the units 12L and 12R and setting them in the output buffers of the display units 12L and 12R, the number of payouts (1 to 15) is displayed on the game auxiliary display unit 12.

After that, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of payouts until the number of bets for the next game is set even after the end of the game. By initializing the output buffers 12L and 12R and putting the game auxiliary display 12 into a non-display state, the display of the payout number in the previous game is ended. Incidentally, when all the reels are stopped, no small combination is won, and medals are not awarded, the non-display state of the game auxiliary display 12 is continued.

Further, as shown in FIG. 23(b), when the start switch 7 is operated and the navigation notification is performed, the main control unit 41 stores the navigation number setting area in the RAM 41c when the start switch 7 is operated. A navigation number indicating an operation mode corresponding to the navigation target role won in the internal lottery is set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c, and after the reels start spinning, the reels rotate at a constant speed and the stop operation is validated. The navigation number is acquired from the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c at the timing, the acquired navigation number is converted into display data for each of the display devices 12L and 12R, and set in the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R to display game assistance. Display the navigation number (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode on the device 12. Further, the main control unit 41 activates the stop operation when the reel rotates at a constant speed, sets display data corresponding to the navigation number to the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R, and displays the operation mode on the game auxiliary display device 12. Even after the indicated navigation number is displayed, the navigation number is acquired from the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c each time the constant-speed rotation of the reel is detected, and the acquired navigation number is used as display data for each of the displays 12L and 12R. It is converted and repeatedly set in the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R. At this time, even if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the navigation display, the display data for each of the displays 12L and 12R is not initialized, and the stop operation is performed in the operation mode corresponding to the navigation display. The navigation number is continuously displayed on the auxiliary game display 12 until the stop operation (change from OFF to ON) of the third stop reel is detected regardless of whether or not the third stop reel is stopped.

After that, at the timing when the stop operation (change from OFF to ON) of the third stop reel is detected, the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are initialized, and the game auxiliary display device 12 is put into a non-display state. Close the navigation display. On the other hand, the navigation number stored in the navigation number storage area of the RAM 41c is maintained without being initialized. By turning off the operation, the game machine information calculation process described above is performed before the medal payout process is performed. At this time, the main control unit 41 acquires the navigation number set in the navigation number storage area of the RAM 41c. The total instructed bonus payout number is updated, and the total accumulated instructed bonus bonus payout ratio and the instructed bonus bonus payout ratio (6000G) are calculated.

Furthermore, when all the reels are stopped and the stop operation of the third stop reel is turned off, a small winning combination is won and medals are given, after performing the gaming machine information calculation process described above, The number of payouts given by winning a small winning combination is acquired from the RAM 41c, the acquired number of payouts is converted into display data for each of the display devices 12L and 12R, and set in the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R to assist the game. The number of payouts (1 to 15) is displayed on the display 12.

Thereafter, the main control unit 41 initializes the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c and sets 0 by the initialization process performed at the end of one game, but does not initialize the output buffers of the display units 12L and 12R. Based on the display data set in the output buffer, the display of the number of payouts is continued until the bet amount for the next game is set even after the end of the game. Then, when the number of bets for the next game is set, the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are initialized as described above, and the game auxiliary display device 12 is put into a non-display state, whereby the number of payouts in the previous game is set. end the display of Incidentally, when all the reels are stopped, no small combination is won, and medals are not awarded, the non-display state of the game auxiliary display 12 is continued.

As shown in FIG. 24, when detecting the occurrence of an abnormality, the main control unit 41 sets an error flag corresponding to the error type of the detected abnormality in the error flag setting area of the RAM 41c, thereby preventing the progress of the game. In addition to controlling the error state, the error code indicating the error type is converted into display data for each of the display devices 12L and 12R, and set in the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R, so that the error code ( E1 to E8) are displayed. After that, when a reset operation is performed by the reset switch 23 or the reset/setting switch 38, the error flag is cleared to cancel the error state, and the game can be progressed. The display of the error code is terminated by initializing the output buffer of and putting the game auxiliary display 12 into a non-display state.

As shown in FIG. 25, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of payouts (1 to 15) on the auxiliary game display 12 after the small win is won, and after the power supply is stopped. When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is detected when the power supply is restarted, a game state flag indicating that the setting is being changed is set in a game state flag setting area different from the error flag setting area in the RAM 41c. While transitioning to the change state, a setting code that can identify the setting change state is converted into display data for each of the display devices 12L and 12R, and set in the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R, thereby providing game assistance display. Display the setting code (--) on the device 12. After that, when the setting value is determined and the OFF state of the setting key switch 37 is detected, the main control unit 41 initializes the game state flag indicating that the setting is being changed, which is set in the game state flag setting area of the RAM 41c. Terminate the setting change state by changing to a game state flag indicating a game state (non-internal), shift to a normal game state (non-internal), and initialize the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R. , the game auxiliary display 12 is put into a non-display state.

When the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped, Based on the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L, it is determined whether an error code or a setting code was displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply was stopped, and the power supply is stopped. If it is determined that the error code or the setting code is not displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the game auxiliary display 12 is displayed, the game auxiliary display 12 is put into a non-display state by initializing the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R. On the other hand, if it is determined that an error code or a setting code was displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply was stopped, by maintaining the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R, to display the error code or setting code displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.例文帳に追加

As a result, as shown in FIG. 26, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of payouts (1 to 15) on the game auxiliary display 12 after the game is over, that is, the information indicating the result of the game. is displayed, the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and the state after the end of the game before the power supply is stopped is restored. When returning, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are initialized to put the game auxiliary display 12 into a non-display state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 28, the main control unit 41 is in an error state, and after the power supply is stopped in a state where the error code (E1 to E8) is displayed on the auxiliary game display 12, When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the power supply is restarted, and the error state before the power supply is stopped is to be restored, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained. The error code displayed before the supply is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. - 特許庁

Further, as shown in FIG. 29, the main control unit 41 is in the setting change state, and in the state where the setting code (--) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, after the power supply is stopped, the power When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the power supply is restarted and the setting change state before the power supply is stopped is to be restored, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained. The setting code displayed before power supply is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. - 特許庁

In this way, the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply was stopped. In addition, if the number of payouts, that is, the display corresponding to the result of the game continues on the auxiliary game display 12 when the power supply is stopped, the auxiliary game display 12 is turned off when the power supply is restarted. Display status. As a result, when the power supply is stopped while the display of the number of payouts is continued on the auxiliary game display 12, the power supply is started and the setting value is set by shifting to the setting change state. Even if the power supply is started and does not shift to the setting change state, and the control state before the power supply is stopped is restored, the game auxiliary display 12 will be in the non-display state in any case. , so that it cannot be guessed whether or not the setting value has been changed. At this time, the number of payouts before the power supply is stopped is displayed on the auxiliary game display 12, and even if the number of payouts is hidden after the power supply is resumed, the number of payouts is the number before the power supply is stopped. , and does not affect games after power is restored.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. When the power supply is stopped, the game is in an error state or a setting change state in which the game cannot proceed, and the game auxiliary display 12 displays an error code indicating the error state or a setting code indicating the setting change state. is to display the error code or setting code that was displayed before the power supply was stopped on the game auxiliary display 12 when the power supply is restarted, so that the game progresses when the power supply is restarted. It is possible to identify the state in which it is not possible to

[Regarding the initialization judgment of the game auxiliary display]
As described above, the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply was stopped. In this case, based on the display data set in the output buffer of the display device 12L, it is determined whether an error code or a setting code was displayed on the game auxiliary display device 12 before the power supply was stopped, Based on the determination result, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are initialized and the game assistance display 12 is put into a non-display state, or the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained and the game assistance display 12 is turned off. Determines whether to keep the display state.

The number of payouts displayed on the auxiliary game display 12 is a value of 1 to 15, and the value displayed in the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the value of the tens place in the auxiliary game display 12 is Any value from 1 to 15 results in a non-lighting state. Also, the navigation number indicating the operation mode displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is a value of 1 to 13. The 7-segment G is in a non-lighting state regardless of the displayed value of 1-13. On the other hand, the error codes displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 are E1 to E8, and the value displayed in the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens place value in the game auxiliary display 12 is Any value from E1 to E8 results in a lighting state. In addition, the setting code displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is --, and in this case also, the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens place value of the game auxiliary display 12 is lit. Become. Therefore, depending on whether the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens place value in the game auxiliary display 12 is lit or not lit, an error code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. Alternatively, the setting code is displayed, or the error code or setting code is not displayed on the auxiliary game display 12 (the number of payouts is displayed on the auxiliary game display 12, indicating the operation mode) It is possible to identify whether the navigation number is displayed or hidden).

After the power supply is stopped, the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted. , By determining whether the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the value of the tens place in the game auxiliary display 12 is in the non-lighting state or in the lighting state, before the power supply is stopped Then, it is determined whether or not an error code or a setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30(a), the main control unit 41 controls the display data set in the output buffer of the display device 12L corresponding to the value of the tens place among the game auxiliary display devices 12. is obtained (Sm1), the obtained display data of the display 12L and 02 (H) are ANDed (Sm2), it is determined whether the calculation result is 0 (Sm3), and the calculation result is 0 If it is determined that the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are initialized (Sm4), and the game auxiliary display device 12 is set to a non-display state, if it is determined that the calculation result is not 0 in Sm3 , the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained, and the game auxiliary display 12 is restored to the display state before the power supply was stopped.

In this way, the display data of the display 12L acquired in Sm1 and 02(H) are AND-operated (Sm2), so that 02(H) is obtained when the value of the first bit corresponding to the seventh segment G is 1. Since the value of the bit corresponding to the other segment is 00000010 (binary number), when the display data of the display 12L obtained in Sm1 is 00000000 (binary number), that is, the seventh segment G When the value of the first bit indicating the lighting state/non-lighting state of is 0 indicating the non-lighting state, the calculation result of Sm2 becomes 00000000 (binary number), and the seventh segment G of the display 12L is non-lighting. The lighting state is specified, and as described above, the state in which the error code or the setting code is not displayed on the auxiliary game display 12 (the state in which the number of payouts is displayed on the auxiliary game display 12, indicating the operation mode) In this case, the output buffers of the display units 12L and 12R are initialized to return to the display state before the power supply was stopped. Regardless, the game auxiliary display 12 is in the non-display state.

On the other hand, if the display data of the display 12L obtained in Sm1 is 00000010 (binary), that is, if the value of the first bit indicating the lighting state/non-lighting state of the seventh segment G is 1 indicating the lighting state. In this case, the calculation result of Sm2 is 00000010 (binary) and not 00000000 (binary), so it is specified that the seventh segment G of the display 12L is in the lighting state, and the game is played as described above. Since it is specified that an error code or a setting code is displayed on the auxiliary display 12, in this case, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained, and the game auxiliary display 12 is supplied with power. is returned to the display state before it stopped, that is, the state in which the error code or the setting code is displayed.

In addition, as a method of determining whether or not an error code or a setting code was displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply was stopped, whether an error code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is determined. , whether or not it is in a setting change state in which a setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, respectively. When this method is adopted, in this embodiment, an error flag indicating whether an error state exists and a game state flag indicating whether a setting change state exists are stored in different storage areas. , an error flag, and a game state flag must be obtained and determined.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30(b), the main control unit 41 acquires a game state flag (Sn1), and determines whether or not it is in a setting change state from the acquired game state flag (Sn2 ), if it is determined not to be in the setting change state, an error flag is acquired (Sn3), and it is determined from the acquired error flag whether it is in an error state (Sn4), and if it is determined not to be in an error state , the output buffers of the display units 12L and 12R are initialized (Sn5), and the game auxiliary display unit 12 is put into a non-display state, and when it is determined in Sn2 that the setting is being changed, it is determined that an error state is occurring in Sn4. In this case, the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are maintained, and the game auxiliary display device 12 is returned to the display state before the power supply was stopped.

In this way, the method of determining whether it is in an error state or in a setting change state requires five processes Sn1 to Sn5 and two branches, whereas the method shown in FIG. ), in the method of determining whether or not the seventh segment G of the display 12L is in the lighting state, only four steps Sm1 to Sm4 are required, and only one branch is required, resulting in an error state. or the setting change state.

[Regarding control at the end of the advantageous section]
Next, control at the end of the advantageous section will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 31, when the main control unit 41 determines that the advantageous interval end flag is set in the advantageous interval end processing in the main processing, regardless of the state of the advantageous interval, Initialize the target area at the end of the section and the target area at the end of each game (related to AT).

As a result, the advantageous section flag stored in the target area at the end of the advantageous section, the signal buffer during the advantageous section, the data indicating the state of the advantageous section, the navigation number stored in the target area (related to AT) at the end of each game, etc. , all information related to the advantageous section is initialized, and the game section shifts to the normal section.

In addition, in games other than the end of the advantageous section in the advantageous section, the target area (related to AT) at the end of each game is initialized at the end of one game, which is performed after the end of the advantageous section, and the navigation number is set. While the navigation number set in the area is initialized, in the game at the end of the advantageous interval, the target area (related to AT) is initialized at the end of each game by the advantageous interval end processing, and the navigation number setting area However, the display of the navigation number on the game auxiliary display 12 is changed from OFF to ON in the stop operation of the third stop reel as described above. Since the game machine information calculation processing, which is hidden and uses the navigation number to update the number of instructed accessory payouts and calculate the instructed accessory payout ratio, etc., is performed prior to the advantageous section end processing. It does not affect these processes.

After the advantageous interval end processing, the main control unit 41 determines that the advantageous interval signal buffer of the RAM 41c is OFF in the game interval notification end processing, thereby controlling the interval display LED 19 to turn off.

Thus, at the end of the advantageous interval, the advantageous interval flag stored in the target area at the end of the advantageous interval, the advantageous interval signal buffer, the data indicating the advantageous interval state, and the target area at the end of each game (related to AT) After all the information related to the advantageous section, such as the navigation number, is initialized, the section display LED 19 turns off, and the notification of the advantageous section ends, so the notification of the advantageous section ends. In spite of that, the situation where it is controlled in the advantageous section does not occur.

In particular, since the navigation number setting area in which the navigation number is stored is initialized before the section display LED 19 is turned off, the navigation notification is performed even though the notification of the advantageous section has ended. You can prevent it from happening.

In the RAM 41c, as areas for storing information related to advantageous intervals, an advantageous interval end target area that is not initialized for each game and an end target area for each game (AT At the end of the advantageous section, the target area (AT related) is also initialized at the end of each game without waiting for the end of one game. It is possible to prevent related information from remaining.

In addition, the main control unit 41 can control a plurality of advantageous interval states in an advantageous interval. All areas of the target area (AT related) are initialized, and all information related to the advantageous section is initialized regardless of which advantageous section state is controlled at the end of the advantageous section. can be

[Regarding the configuration of the main control unit]
The main control unit 41 of this embodiment is a microcomputer having a CPU 41a, a ROM 41b, and a RAM 41c. The CPU 41a can execute various processes by executing programs stored in the ROM 41b. The main control unit 41 also includes A register, BC register, DE register, and HL register as registers in which values used for calculations executed by the CPU 41a are stored. Using the value stored in the address area of the RAM 41c, it is possible to perform a maximum 2-byte operation. The main control unit 41 also includes an F register that stores a flag corresponding to the calculation result. The flags stored in the F register are set to 1 (ON) when the operation result is 0, set to 0 (OFF) when the operation result is other than 0, and are set to 0 (OFF) when the operation result overflows. It contains a carry flag that is set to 1 (ON) and set to 0 (OFF) if there is no overflow.

[Regarding 3-byte data division]
Next, when the main control unit 41 calculates a 100% ratio using a maximum 3-byte divisor and dividend in the role product ratio update process, the continuous role product ratio update process, and the instructed role product ratio update process 3 Byte data division processing will be described.

The main control unit 41 stores the top address of the area of the RAM 41c where the dividend is stored in the HL register, stores the top address of the area of the RAM 41c where the divisor is stored in the DE register, and then executes 3-byte data division processing. By doing so, the value of dividend/divisor×100 is stored in the A register using the dividend and divisor specified from each address. The dividend and divisor are values of up to 3 bytes and are stored in a continuous 3-byte area of the RAM 41c. The value of the 2nd byte is stored in the area of +1, and the value of the 3rd byte is stored in the area of top address +2. Therefore, specify the first address of the area where the dividend or divisor is stored, specify the 2-byte data, specify the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes, specify the address of the first address + 2, and specify the 1-byte data. By specifying the data, it is possible to specify the value of the third byte.

In addition, the main control unit 41 prohibits interrupts during execution of gaming machine information calculation processing in which each state count process, role item ratio update process, continuous role item ratio update process, and instructed role item ratio update process are executed. It is set so that interrupts are prohibited even during execution of the 3-byte data division process and the process of updating the divisor and dividend used in the 3-byte data division process.

32 and 33 are flow charts showing the control contents of the 3-byte data division process executed by the main control unit 41. FIG.

In the 3-byte data division process, first, the value of the DE register, which stores the start address of the divisor, is saved in the stack (Si1), the value of the DE register is cleared (Si2), and the value of the BC register is cleared (Si2). Si3).

Next, 100 is stored in the A register (Si4), and the 1st and 2nd bytes of the dividend obtained from the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address (starting address of the dividend) stored in the HL register is set to the value of the DE register. Add the values (Si5).

Next, it is determined whether or not the result of addition overflows (carry flag is OFF) (Si6). If the result of addition overflows (carry flag is ON), that is, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the dividend is carried. In step Si7, 1 is added to the value of the C register, and if the addition result does not overflow (carry flag is OFF), that is, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the dividend does not carry over, Si8 Jump to step. At step Si6, a jump instruction is executed to jump to a specified step when the carry flag is OFF, thereby jumping to step Si8 when the addition result does not overflow (carry flag is OFF).

Next, in the step of Si8, 1 is subtracted from the value of the A register, and it is determined whether or not the subtraction result is not 0 (zero flag is OFF) (Si9). If the result of subtraction is not 0 (zero flag is OFF), jump to step Si5. At step Si9, by executing a jump instruction to jump to a specified step when the zero flag is OFF, if the subtraction result is not 0 (zero flag is OFF), jump to step Si5.

In Si4, 100 is stored in the A register, and in Si5 to Si7, the value of the A register is subtracted by 1 each time the first and second bytes of the dividend are added to the value of the DE register. The value of the ~2nd byte is multiplied by 100. Also, since the value of the C register is incremented by 1 each time the carry is carried, the carry is reflected in the C register.

After multiplying the 1st and 2nd bytes of the dividend by 100 using Si4 to Si9, the address stored in the HL register (starting address of the dividend) is incremented by 1 twice (Si10, Si11). is the starting address of the dividend + 2 (address of the 3rd byte of the dividend).

Next, 100 is stored in the A register (Si12), and the value of the third byte of the dividend obtained from the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (first address of the dividend + 2) is set to the value of the C register. is added (Si13).

Next, it is determined whether or not the result of the addition has no overflow (carry flag OFF) (Si14). The process advances to step Si15 to add 1 to the value of the B register, and if the addition result does not overflow (carry flag is OFF), that is, if the addition result of the 3rd byte does not carry over, the process jumps to step Si16. At step Si14, a jump instruction is executed to jump to a specified step when the carry flag is OFF, thereby jumping to step Si16 when the result of addition does not overflow (carry flag is OFF).

Next, in the step of Si16, 1 is subtracted from the value of the A register, and it is determined whether or not the subtraction result is not 0 (zero flag is OFF) (Si17). If the result of subtraction is not 0 (zero flag is OFF), jump to step Si13. At step Si17, by executing a jump instruction to jump to a specified step when the zero flag is OFF, if the subtraction result is not 0 (zero flag is OFF), jump to step Si13.

In Si12, 100 is stored in the A register, and in Si13 to Si15, every time the 3rd byte of the dividend is added to the value in the C register, 1 is subtracted from the value in the A register. is multiplied by 100. Also, since the value of the B register is incremented by 1 each time the value is carried, the carry is reflected in the B register. As a result, the dividend is multiplied by 100 in Si4 to Si17, the 1st and 2nd bytes of the 100 times the dividend are stored in the DE register, and the 3rd and 4th bytes of the 100 times the dividend are stored in the BC register. It will be stored.

After multiplying the dividend by 100 using Si4 to Si17, the start address of the divisor saved in the stack is returned to the HL register (Si18). Next, the values of the A register are exclusive-ORed to each other to clear the value of the A register (Si19), and the process of adding 1 to the address (head address of the divisor) stored in the HL register is performed twice ( Si20, Si21), the address stored in the HL register is assumed to be the starting address of the divisor +2 (address of the third byte of the divisor).

Next, the 3rd byte of the divisor obtained from the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address (starting address of the divisor + 2) stored in the HL register from the value of the C register, that is, the value of the 100 times value of the dividend is subtracted (Si22).

Next, it is determined whether or not the subtraction result has no overflow (carry flag OFF) (Si23), and if the subtraction result overflows (carry flag ON), that is, the subtraction result of the 3rd byte of the 100 times the dividend is carried down. If so, the process advances to step Si24 to determine whether the value of the B register is 0 or not. If not, jump to step Si26. At the step Si23, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the carry flag is OFF, when the result of subtraction is no overflow (carry flag is OFF), the step is jumped to the step Si26.

If the value of the B register in Si24 is not 0, that is, the value of the 4th byte of the 100 times the dividend stored in the B register is decremented, so that the value of the 3rd byte of the 100 times the dividend is reduced to 3 of the divisor. If the value of the byte can be subtracted, the process proceeds to step Si25 to subtract 1 from the value of the B register. If the value of the 4th byte cannot be decremented and the value of the 3rd byte of the divisor cannot be subtracted from the 100 times value of the dividend, the process jumps to step Si35. At the step Si24, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the designated step when the value of the designated register is 0, when the value of the B register is 0, the jump is made to Si35.

Next, the address stored in the HL register (starting address of the divisor + 2) is subtracted by 1 twice (Si26, Si27), and the address stored in the HL register is used as the starting address of the divisor.

Next, from the value of the DE register, that is, the 1st to 2nd bytes of the 100 times value of the dividend, 1 to 1 of the divisor obtained from the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address (starting address of the divisor) stored in the HL register. Subtract the value of the second byte (Si28).

Next, it is determined whether or not the subtraction result has no overflow (carry flag OFF) (Si29). If the subtraction result overflows (carry flag ON), that is, the subtraction result of the first and second bytes of the 100 times the dividend is If the value of the BC register is 0 or not, it is determined whether the value of the BC register is 0 or not. If the result of the subtraction of is not carried down, jump to the step of Si32. At step Si29, a jump instruction is executed to jump to a specified step when the carry flag is OFF, thereby jumping to step Si32 when the subtraction result does not overflow (carry flag is OFF).

If the value of the BC register in Si30 is not 0, that is, the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the 100 times the dividend value stored in the BC register are decremented. If the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the divisor can be subtracted from the If the 3rd and 4th bytes of the 100 times the dividend cannot be decremented and the 1st and 2nd bytes of the divisor cannot be subtracted from the 1st and 2nd bytes of the 100 times the dividend , Si35. At the step Si30, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the designated step when the value of the designated register is 0, when the value of the BC register is 0, the jump is made to Si35.

After adding 1 to the value of the A register in Si32, it is determined whether or not the operation result is 0 (zero flag ON) (Si33). jump to the step of On the other hand, if the operation result is 0 (zero flag ON) at Si33, that is, if the value of the A register overflows due to the addition of Si32, and FF (H) becomes 00 (H), the process proceeds to step Si35. to jump At the step Si33, a jump instruction is executed to jump to a specified step when the zero flag is ON, so that when the value of the A register becomes 0 as a result of the addition of Si32, a jump is made to Si35.

The A register is cleared to 0 in Si19, the result of subtracting the divisor in Si20 to Si34 is less than 0, and the divisor is repeatedly subtracted from 100 times the dividend until the next divisor cannot be subtracted, and the divisor is subtracted. Since the value of the A register is incremented by 1 each time the value is subtracted, the A register stores the number of times the divisor has been subtracted from 100 times the dividend until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0. The rate will be stored.

Also, when the result of subtracting the divisor does not fall below 0, the value of the A register overflows and becomes 0, and the zero flag is set. At this time, the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100 times value of the dividend is completed in Si20 to Si34.

After the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100-fold value of the dividend in Si20 to Si34 is completed, the value of the A register is compared with 100 (Si35). At this time, if the value of the A register is less than 100, the carry flag is ON and the zero flag is OFF; if the value of the A register is 100, the carry flag is OFF and the zero flag is ON; The flag is OFF and the zero flag is OFF. If the value of the A register is 100 or more (carry flag is OFF) in the comparison of Si35, 99 is stored in the A register (Si37), and the return instruction returns to the caller processing. On the other hand, if the value of the A register is less than 100 in the comparison of Si35, jump to the return instruction and return to the calling process. As a result, when the value stored in the A register is 100 or more, it is corrected to 99.

In this way, in the 3-byte division process, after first multiplying the dividend by 100, the divisor is repeatedly subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 100 until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0, and the result of subtracting the divisor is 0. The number of times the divisor is subtracted from 100 times the dividend until it falls below the dividend is calculated as a 100 percent ratio of the dividend to the divisor.

Also, normally, the dividend will not be larger than the divisor. The divisor is not subtracted from the value, but if the divisor is 0 or the data is destroyed and the divisor becomes extremely small, the divisor will be subtracted from the 100 times the dividend. Although the number of subtractions exceeds 100, the result of subtracting the divisor may not be less than 0. In such a case, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 100 is When a specific value (256) exceeding 100 is reached, it is judged to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from the value multiplied by 100 of the dividend is terminated. is prevented from never ending.

In addition, instead of counting the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 100 and determining whether or not a specific value exceeding 100 has been reached, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 100 is stored. The value of the A register overflows by subtracting 256 times, and when the value of the A register overflows as a result of the calculation, the zero flag turns ON. Only by judging whether or not the zero flag to be set ON has been turned ON, it is judged that the specific value (256) exceeding 100 has been reached. For this reason, each time the divisor is subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 100, a numerical value with a specific value as the initial value is subtracted, and when the numerical value becomes 0, it is determined that the number of subtractions has reached the specific value, It is possible to reduce the program capacity compared to comparing the number of subtractions with a specific value and judging that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value when the comparison results match. By using the fact that the carry flag is turned ON when the value of the A register overflows as a result of the calculation, it is possible to check whether the carry flag, which is turned ON when the A register overflows as a result of the subtraction, is turned ON. By determining, it may be determined that a specific value (256) exceeding 100 has been reached.

Further, after subtracting the divisor from the 100 times the dividend, if the zero flag is ON, a jump instruction to jump to the designated program is performed, and the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times the dividend exceeds a specific value ( 256), it is judged to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from 100 times the dividend is terminated. It is possible to move to the program associated with

Also, before executing the 3-byte data division process, the start address of the area of the RAM 41c storing the dividend is stored in the HL register, the start address of the area of the RAM 41c storing the divisor is stored in the DE register, and 3 In the byte data division process, the dividend is specified from the address stored in the HL register, and the divisor is specified from the address stored in the DE register. In the 3-byte division process, the dividend is multiplied by 100. Before, the storage address of the divisor stored in the DE register is saved to the stack, and the DE register storing the storage address of the divisor is used for the process of multiplying the dividend by 100. After the process of multiplying the dividend by 100, the stack By restoring the address of the divisor saved in the , the divisor is acquired, and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100 times value of the dividend is performed. A 100-fold value of the dividend can be calculated using a register that stores an address.

The main control unit 41 is capable of calculating a maximum of 2 bytes, but the dividend and the divisor are values that can be 3 bytes. In , the calculation of the 1st and 2nd bytes and the calculation of the 3rd byte are performed separately. Percentages can be calculated.

In addition, the percentage of the dividend to the divisor is displayed on the two-digit display of the gaming machine information display 50. , 99. When the percentage value of the dividend to the divisor calculated from the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times the dividend is 100 or more, it is displayed on a two-digit display. Even if it is displayed, it is displayed as 99, which is the maximum value that can be displayed, so that it is possible to recognize that the percentage of the dividend to the divisor is a large value of 99% or more.

In addition, interrupts are prohibited during the execution of the 3-byte data division process and the process of updating the divisor and dividend used in the 3-byte data division process. By executing interrupt processing during the period in which the percentage of the dividend is calculated, it is possible to prevent the divisor, the dividend, and the numerical value when calculating the percentage of the dividend from the divisor from being destroyed and becoming an unintended numerical value.

Next, a modification of the 3-byte data division process will be described.

In the 3-byte data division process of this embodiment, after first multiplying the dividend by 100, the process of repeatedly subtracting the divisor from the 100-fold value of the dividend is performed until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0, and the result of subtracting the divisor is While the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 100 until it falls below 0 is calculated as a 100% ratio of the dividend to the divisor, in the modified 3-byte data division process, the dividend is first multiplied by 200, then the divisor The divisor is repeatedly subtracted from the 200 times the dividend until the result of subtracting is less than 0, and the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200 times the dividend is halved until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0 The multiplied value is calculated as a 100% ratio of the dividend to the divisor.

34 and 35 are flow charts showing the control contents of a modification of the 3-byte data division process. Here, only points different from the 3-byte data division processing shown in FIGS. 33 and 34 will be described.

In the modification of the 3-byte division process, 200 is stored in the A register in Si4, and the value in the A register is subtracted by 1 each time the 1st and 2nd bytes of the dividend are added to the value in the DE register in Si5 to Si7. Therefore, the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the dividend are multiplied by 200 in Si4 to Si9. In Si12, 200 is stored in the A register, and in Si13 to Si15, 1 is subtracted from the value in the A register each time the third byte of the dividend is added to the value in the C register. The value of the byte is multiplied by 200. As a result, the dividend is multiplied by 200 in Si4 to Si17, the 1st and 2nd bytes of the 200 times the dividend are stored in the DE register, and the 3rd and 4th bytes of the 200 times the dividend are stored in the BC register. It will be stored.

In the modification of the 3-byte division process, the A register is cleared to 0 in Si19, the result of subtracting the divisor in Si20 to Si34 is less than 0, and the divisor is calculated from the 200-fold value of the dividend until the next divisor cannot be subtracted. is repeatedly subtracted, and the value of the A register is incremented by 1 each time the divisor is subtracted. number of times is stored. After the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the dividend in Si20 to Si34, the step jumps to Si34.5, where the value of the A register is shifted right by 1 bit. By doing so, the value of the A register, that is, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the dividend until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0, is multiplied by 1/2. The rate will be stored.

Also, when the result of subtracting the divisor does not fall below 0, the value of the A register overflows and becomes 0, and the zero flag is set. In Si20 to Si34, the process of subtracting the divisor from the 200-fold value of the dividend ends.

As described above, in the modified example of the 3-byte division process, after first multiplying the dividend by 200, the process of repeatedly subtracting the divisor from the value multiplied by 200 of the dividend is performed until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0, and the result of subtracting the divisor is is less than 0, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200 times the dividend is multiplied by 1/2. This makes it possible to calculate a more accurate ratio than calculating the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times value of the dividend until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0 as a 100 percent ratio of the dividend to the divisor.

Also, normally, the dividend will not be larger than the divisor, and the number of times the divisor has been subtracted from the 200-fold value of the dividend exceeds 200 until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0. The divisor is not subtracted from the value, but if the divisor is 0 or the data is corrupted and the divisor becomes extremely small, the divisor will be subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 200. Although the number of subtractions exceeds 200, the result of subtracting the divisor may not be less than 0. In such a case, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200 times the dividend is When a specific value (256) exceeding 200 is reached, it is judged to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 200 times the dividend is terminated. is prevented from never ending.

In addition, instead of counting the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 200 and determining whether or not a specific value exceeding 200 has been reached, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 200 is stored. The value of the A register overflows by subtracting 256 times, and when the value of the A register overflows as a result of the calculation, the zero flag turns ON. Only by judging whether or not the zero flag to be set ON has been turned ON, it is judged that the specific value (256) exceeding 200 has been reached. For this reason, each time the divisor is subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 200, a numerical value whose initial value is a specific value is subtracted, and when the numerical value becomes 0, it is determined that the number of subtractions has reached the specific value, It is possible to reduce the program capacity compared to comparing the number of subtractions with a specific value and judging that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value when the comparison results match. By using the fact that the carry flag turns ON when the value of the A register overflows as a result of the calculation, it is determined whether the carry flag turned ON when the A register overflows as a result of the subtraction. By judging, it may be judged that a specific value (256) exceeding 200 has been reached.

Also, after subtracting the divisor from the 200 times the dividend, if the zero flag is ON, a jump instruction to jump to the specified program will cause the number of times the divisor has been subtracted from the 200 times the dividend to exceed 200 ( 256), it is judged to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 200 times the dividend is terminated. It is possible to move to the program associated with

Also, before executing the 3-byte data division process, the start address of the area of the RAM 41c storing the dividend is stored in the HL register, the start address of the area of the RAM 41c storing the divisor is stored in the DE register, and 3 In the byte data division process, the dividend is specified from the address stored in the HL register, and the divisor is specified from the address stored in the DE register. In the 3-byte division process, the dividend is multiplied by 200. Before, the storage address of the divisor stored in the DE register is saved to the stack, and the DE register storing the storage address of the divisor is used for the process of multiplying the dividend by 200. After the process of multiplying the dividend by 200, the stack By restoring the address of the divisor saved in the , the divisor is acquired, and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 200 times value of the dividend is performed. A value of 200 times the dividend can be calculated using a register storing an address.

Further, the main control unit 41 is capable of calculating a maximum of 2 bytes, but the dividend and the divisor are values that can be 3 bytes. In , the calculation of the 1st and 2nd bytes and the calculation of the 3rd byte are performed separately. Percentages can be calculated.

The percentage of the dividend to the divisor is displayed on the two-digit display device of the gaming machine information display device 50, and is a value obtained by multiplying the dividend by 200 times the number of times the divisor is subtracted by 1/2. is 100 or more, it is corrected to 99. When the percentage value of the dividend to the divisor calculated from the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200 times value of the dividend is 100 or more, Even if it is displayed on a two-digit display, it is displayed with 99, which is the maximum value that can be displayed, so that the percentage of the dividend to the divisor is a large value of 99% or more.

[Regarding 3-byte data addition/storage processing]
Next, the main control unit 41 performs the state count process, the role product ratio update process, the continuous role product ratio update process, the instructed role product ratio update process, the role product payout ratio, the continuous role product payout ratio, and the instructed role product ratio. It can be executed when adding 3-byte data used to calculate the payout ratio, especially when there is a possibility that the data after addition, such as the number of games played (total cumulative total) or the total cumulative payout number, may overflow. 3-byte data addition/storage processing will be described.

The main control unit 41 stores the head address of the area of the RAM 41c where the data to be added is stored in the HL register, stores the added value in the DE register, and then executes 3-byte data addition/storage processing so that the HL The addition value stored in the DE register is added to the addition target data specified by the address stored in the register, and if the addition result overflows, the addition target data is the value before the addition value is added. By returning and turning ON the carry flag, it is specified that the addition of the data to be added causes an overflow. The data to be added is a maximum 3-byte value and is stored in a continuous 3-byte area of the RAM 41c. The value of the 2nd byte is stored in the area of +1, and the value of the 3rd byte is stored in the area of top address +2. Therefore, by specifying the top address of the area where the addition target address is stored, specifying the 2-byte data, the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes is specified, the address of the top address + 2 is specified, and the 1-byte data is specified. By specifying the data, it is possible to specify the value of the third byte.

In addition, the main control unit 41 prohibits interrupts during execution of gaming machine information calculation processing in which each state count process, role item ratio update process, continuous role item ratio update process, and instructed role item ratio update process are executed. It is set so that interrupts are prohibited even during execution of 3-byte data addition/storage processing.

FIG. 36 is a flow chart showing the control contents of the 3-byte data addition/storage process executed by the main control unit 41. As shown in FIG.

In the 3-byte data addition/storage process, first, the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added obtained from the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the top address of the data to be added) are obtained. , BC register (Sj1).

Next, the addition value stored in the DE register is added to the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added stored in the BC register (Sj2), and the value of the BC register is transferred to the address stored in the HL register. By storing in the area of the RAM 41c specified by (starting address of the data to be added), the values of the first and second bytes of the data to be added stored in the RAM 41c are updated to the data to which the addition value has been added (Sj3 ).

Next, it is determined whether or not the result of addition of the first and second bytes of the data to be added in Sj2 overflowed (carry flag ON) (Sj4). If the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data does not carry over, a return instruction is issued to return to the processing of the calling source. In step Sj4, a return instruction is executed to return to the caller processing when the carry flag is OFF, thereby returning to the caller processing when the addition result does not overflow (carry flag is OFF).

If the addition result overflows in Sj4 (carry flag ON), that is, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, the process proceeds to step Sj5 to invert and clear the carry flag. and the carry flag is turned off.

Next, the address stored in the HL register (starting address of the data to be added) is incremented by 1 twice (Sj6, Sj7), and the address stored in the HL register is changed to the starting address of the data to be added+2. (3rd byte address of data to be added).

Next, 1 is added to the value in the area of the RAM 41c designated by the address (3rd byte address of the data to be added) stored in the HL register, that is, the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added (Sj8). Reflect the carry due to the addition of ~2nd byte.

Next, it is determined whether or not the addition result of the third byte of the data to be added in Sj8 indicates no overflow (zero flag OFF) (Sj9). If the result of the second addition does not carry over, the process returns to the calling source by a return instruction. In step Sj9, by executing a return instruction for returning to the caller processing when the zero flag is OFF, the addition result returns to the caller processing when there is no overflow (zero flag OFF).

Further, if the addition result overflows in Sj9 (zero flag ON), that is, if the addition result of the third byte of the data to be added is carried, and further update is impossible, proceed to step Sj10, The value in the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the address of the 3rd byte of the data to be added), that is, the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added, is subtracted by 1 (Sj10), and 1 to 2 bytes It is the value before the carry due to addition is reflected.

Next, the process of subtracting 1 from the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the data to be added + 2) is performed twice (Sj11, Sj12), and the address stored in the HL register is changed to the start address of the data to be added. (Address of 1st and 2nd bytes of data to be added).

Next, the addition value stored in the DE register is subtracted from the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added stored in the BC register (Sj13). Since the BC register does not clear the value obtained by adding the addition value of the DE register to the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added in Sj2, the value stored in the BC register is changed to the value of the DE register. By subtracting the addition value stored in , the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data before addition is obtained. Also, since the subtraction result of Sj13 always overflows, the carry flag is turned ON.

Next, by storing the value of the BC register in the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the top address of the data to be added), 1 to 2 bytes of the data to be added stored in the RAM 41c The second value is returned to the data before the addition value is added (Sj14).

Then, the return instruction is executed to return to the caller process.

In this way, in the 3-byte data addition/storage process, the addition value stored in the DE register is added to the addition target data specified by the address stored in the HL register. The data to be added is returned to the value before the addition value is added, and the bonus payout ratio, continuous bonus bonus payout ratio, and instructed bonus bonus payout ratio are calculated using unintended data. can be prevented. In particular, it is possible to prevent an inaccurate ratio from being calculated due to overflow of 3-byte data resulting in a dividend larger than the divisor used in calculating the ratio.

Also, if the result of the addition overflows, the carry flag will turn ON at the end of the 3-byte data addition/storage process. is specified, and by restricting the addition of the corresponding data thereafter, wasteful processing can be avoided.

Further, the main control unit 41 is capable of calculating a maximum of 2 bytes, but the data to be added is a value that can be 3 bytes. After the addition of the 2nd byte, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes overflows, the addition of the 3rd byte of the addition target data is performed, and the addition target data is 2 bytes that can be calculated. addition target data can be added even when exceeding .

In addition, when the addition result overflows after the addition of the first and second bytes of the data to be added, the carry flag is turned ON to enable identification of the overflow, and then the carry flag is cleared. After turning OFF, the addition of the 3rd byte of the addition target data is performed. After clearing the specific flag that turns ON when the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data overflows, the addition is performed. Since the addition of the third byte of the target data is performed, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not the addition result of the third byte of the addition target data has overflowed by the specific flag.

Also, after adding the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added, the value of the BC register used for the addition of the 1st and 2nd bytes is held without being cleared, and the 3rd byte of the data to be added is added. When addition is performed and the addition result of the 3rd byte overflows, the value of the BC register is used to restore the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data to the value before addition. Since it is not necessary to read out the numerical value when returning the data to the value before the addition, the program can be simplified.

Also, interrupts are prohibited during execution of 3-byte data addition/storage processing, and the addition target data is destroyed by executing interrupt processing during the period in which the addition target data is updated. It is possible to prevent the ratio from being calculated using an unintended numerical value.

[3-byte data 1-byte addition processing]
Next, it can be executed when the main control unit 41 adds 3-byte data in the role update process, the continuous role rate update process, and the instructed role rate update process. ), bonus payout (6000 total), continuous bonus payout (6000 total), instructed bonus payout (6000 total), etc. Addition processing will be described.

The main control unit 41 stores the top address of the area of the RAM 41c where the data to be added is stored in the HL register, stores the addition value in the B register, and then executes 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing to obtain HL The added value stored in the B register is added to the data to be added specified from the address stored in the register. The data to be added is a maximum 3-byte value and is stored in a continuous 3-byte area of the RAM 41c. The value of the 2nd byte is stored in the area of +1, and the value of the 3rd byte is stored in the area of top address +2. Therefore, by specifying the top address of the area where the addition target address is stored, specifying the 2-byte data, the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes is specified, the address of the top address + 2 is specified, and the 1-byte data is specified. By specifying the data, it is possible to specify the value of the third byte.

In addition, the main control unit 41 prohibits interrupts during execution of gaming machine information calculation processing in which each state count process, role item ratio update process, continuous role item ratio update process, and instructed role item ratio update process are executed. It is set so that interrupts are prohibited even during execution of 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing.

FIG. 37(a) is a flow chart showing the control contents of the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process executed by the main control unit 41. FIG.

In the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process, first, 1 is stored in the C register (Sk1) to be used for carry-over, and from the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the data to be added) The values of the first and second bytes of the acquired data to be added are acquired and stored in the DE register (Sk2).

Next, the addition value stored in the B register is stored in the A register (Sk3), and the addition value stored in the A register is added to the 1st and 2nd byte values of the addition target data stored in the DE register. (Sk4), by storing the value of the DE register in the area of the RAM 41c designated by the address stored in the HL register (the top address of the data to be added), the data to be added stored in the RAM 41c from 1 to The value of the second byte is updated to the data to which the addition value has been added (Sk5).

Next, it is determined whether or not the result of addition of the first and second bytes of the data to be added in Sk4 overflows (carry flag ON) (Sk6). If the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes carries a carry, jump to the step of Sk8. does not carry over, the process proceeds to step Sk7, stores 0 in the C register, and then proceeds to step Sk8. At step Sk6, a jump instruction is executed to jump to a specified step when the carry flag is ON, so that when the addition result overflows (carry flag is ON), a jump is made to step Sk8.

In Sk8, the carry flag is cleared and turned off. Next, the address stored in the HL register (starting address of the data to be added) is incremented by 1 twice (Sk9, Sk10), and the address stored in the HL register is changed to the starting address of the data to be added+2. (3rd byte address of data to be added).

Next, the value in the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the address of the 3rd byte of the data to be added), that is, the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added, is acquired and added to the value of the C register. (Sk11), and the value of the C register after addition is stored in the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the address of the third byte of the data to be added). The value of the third byte of the data to be added is updated to the value of the C register (Sk12). At this time, if the addition result overflows (carry flag is ON) in Sk6, that is, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, since 1 is stored in the C register, the addition is performed. The value of the 3rd byte of the target data reflects the carry caused by the addition of the 1st and 2nd bytes. On the other hand, if the addition result does not overflow (carry flag is OFF) in Sk6, that is, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data is not carried, 0 is stored in the C register. The value of the 3rd byte of the target data does not change.

Next, the value of the HL register is incremented by 1 (Sk13) and set as the leading address of the next data to be added, and a return instruction is issued to return to the process of the calling source.

In this manner, in the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process, the addition value stored in the B register is added to the addition object data specified from the address stored in the HL register.

Also, regardless of whether or not the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, after setting 1 to the C register, if the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added does not carry changes the value of the C register from 1 to 0 by setting 0 in the C register. By adding the value of to the 3rd byte value of the addition target data, if the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data is carried, the value of the 3rd byte of the addition target data will be While 1 is added and the carry is reflected, if the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added does not carry, the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added does not change. When the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the target data is carried, and when the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data is not carried, 1 is set in the C register and the C register is set. If the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data is carried by performing the common processing of adding the value obtained from the addition to the value of the 3rd byte of the addition target data, the 3rd byte of the addition target data , and if the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added does not carry over, the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added can be prevented from being updated.

Therefore, when executing 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing, if the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added do not carry over, Sk1, Sk2, Sk3 , Sk4, Sk5, Sk6, Sk7, Sk8, Sk9, Sk10, Sk11, Sk12, and Sk13 are executed, and when the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added are carried, FIG. , the steps Sk1, Sk2, Sk3, Sk4, Sk5, Sk6, Sk8, Sk9, Sk10, Sk11, Sk12, and Sk13 are executed, and the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is the digit. All the steps that make up the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process are executed without waiting for it to rise.

In addition, interrupts are prohibited during execution of 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing, and the addition target data is destroyed by executing interrupt processing during the period in which the addition target data is updated. Unintended numerical values can be prevented.

In addition, when the addition result overflows after the addition of the first and second bytes of the data to be added, the carry flag is turned ON to enable identification of the overflow, and then the carry flag is cleared. After turning OFF, the addition of the 3rd byte of the addition target data is performed. After clearing the specific flag that turns ON when the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data overflows, the addition is performed. Since the third byte of the target data is added, the carry flag can be used to accurately determine each time the operation result overflows.

[Conventional 3-byte data addition processing]
FIG. 38(a) is a flow chart showing the control contents of a conventional 3-byte data addition process. In addition, in the conventional 3-byte data addition process, the top address of the area of the RAM 41c storing the data to be added is stored in the HL register, and the added value is stored in the DE register.

In the conventional 3-byte data addition processing, first, the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added obtained from the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the top address of the data to be added) are obtained. , BC register (Sk001).

Next, the addition value stored in the DE register is added to the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added stored in the BC register (Sk002), and the value of the BC register is transferred to the address stored in the HL register. By storing in the area of the RAM 41c designated by (the start address of the data to be added), the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added stored in the RAM 41c are updated to the data to which the addition value has been added (Sk003 ).

Next, it is determined whether or not the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data in Sk002 overflowed (carry flag ON) (Sk004). If the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data does not carry over, jump to the step of Sk010, and perform the processing of adding 1 to the address stored in the HL register (starting address of the data to be added) three times. (Sk010, Sk011, Sk012) is set as the top address of the next data to be added, and the return instruction returns to the process of the calling source.

If the addition result overflows in Sk002 (carry flag ON), ie, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, the process proceeds to step Sk005, clears the carry flag, and resets the carry flag. OFF.

Next, the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the data to be added) is incremented by 1 twice (Sk006, Sk007), and the address stored in the HL register is changed to the start address of the data to be added +2. (3rd byte address of data to be added).

Next, 1 is added to the value in the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address (3rd byte address of the data to be added) stored in the HL register, that is, the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added (Sk008). Reflect the carry due to the addition of ~2nd byte.

Next, the process proceeds to Sk009, jumps to Sk012, adds 1 to the value of the HL register, sets it as the top address of the next data to be added, and returns to the process of the calling source by a return instruction.

As described above, in the conventional 3-byte data addition process, when the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added carries a carry, the value of the 3rd byte is added. If the addition result of ~2nd byte does not carry over, the process of adding the value of 3rd byte is not performed.

Therefore, when executing the conventional 3-byte data addition process, if the values of the first and second bytes of the data to be added do not carry over, Sk001, Sk002, and Sk003 are added as shown in FIG. , Sk004, Sk010, Sk011 and Sk012 are executed, and when the values of the first and second bytes of the data to be added are carried, Sk001, Sk002, Sk003 and Sk004 , Sk005, Sk006, Sk007, Sk008, Sk009, and Sk012 are executed until the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, that is, the data to be added whose updating is started from 0 The steps Sk005, Sk006, Sk007, Sk008, and Sk009 are not executed until the value changes from 00FFFF(H) to 010000(H).

[Regarding program confirmation]
If a game machine such as a slot machine or a pachinko game machine contains an unused program, there is a possibility that the program will be used to perform an illegal act such as an illegal operation. All programs stored in ROM 41b are required to be executed, and a test must be performed to confirm that all programs stored in ROM 41b are executed. The program stored in the ROM 41b can be identified by the address of the area in which the program is stored. By checking whether the program stored in the storage area (address area) of each address has been executed or not, it is possible to confirm that all the programs stored in the ROM 41b have been executed. It has become.

When performing a test to confirm that all programs have been executed, if the result of adding the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried as in the conventional 3-byte data addition process, While performing the process of adding the value of the 3rd byte, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added does not carry over, the process of adding the value of the 3rd byte is not performed. Until the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the target data is carried, that is, until the addition target data, which starts updating from 0, changes from 00FFFF (H) to 010000 (H), it is stored in a part of the address area. Since the program (Sk005 to Sk009 programs) is not executed, confirm that all the programs that make up the 3-byte data addition process have been executed until the addition target data changes from 00FFFF (H) to 010000 (H). and it takes a lot of time to complete the test.

In contrast, in the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process of this embodiment, even if the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added are carried, the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added are carried. Even if not, by executing a common program (Sk8 to Sk12 programs) that sets 1 to the C register and adds the value set in the C register to the value of the third byte of the data to be added, If the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data is carried, 1 is added to the value of the 3rd byte of the addition target data, while the 1st and 2nd byte values of the addition target data are not carried. In this case, the value of the third byte of the data to be added can be prevented from being updated. By executing a program that adds the value set in the C register to the value of the third byte of the data to be added, a program for 3-byte data addition processing including the address area where the programs Sk8 to Sk12 are stored is stored. It is possible to confirm that all the programs in the specified address area have been executed, and it is possible to greatly reduce the time required to complete the test.

[Effect 1]
In this embodiment, in the 3-byte data division process, the main control unit 41 multiplies the dividend by 100, and then repeatedly subtracts the divisor from the dividend multiplied by 100 until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0. , by adding 1 to the value of the A register each time the divisor is subtracted, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the dividend is counted until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0. Calculate as a fraction. Also, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times the dividend is stored in the A register, in which a specific flag is set when the specific value exceeds 100, and the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times the dividend is When the specified value exceeding 100 is reached and the specified flag is set, it is judged to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100 times the dividend is terminated.

With such a configuration, when calculating the percentage of the dividend with respect to the divisor, the 100 times value of the dividend is calculated, the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times value of the dividend until it falls below the divisor, and the number of times of subtraction is calculated with respect to the divisor. It can be calculated as a percentage of the dividend. In such a configuration, for example, when the divisor is 0, the result of subtracting the divisor from 100 times the dividend does not fall below 0 even if the number of subtractions exceeds 100, which can be taken as a percentage. , the number of subtractions exceeds 100, and a specific flag is set, so that an abnormality is determined and the process of subtracting the divisor from 100 times the dividend is terminated. Even if the result of subtracting the divisor from the value multiplied by 100 is not less than 0, the subtraction of the divisor can be terminated.

In addition, by storing the number of subtractions in the A register in which a specific flag is set when the stored numerical value reaches a specific value, the number of subtractions can be specified simply by judging whether the specific flag is set. Since it is possible to determine that the number of times of subtraction has reached a value, each time the divisor is subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 100, a numerical value whose initial value is a specific value is subtracted, and when the numerical value becomes 0, the number of subtractions is a specific value. or comparing the number of subtractions with a specific value and judging that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value when the comparison results match. .

In this embodiment, in the 3-byte data division process, before the process of multiplying the dividend by 100, the storage address of the divisor stored in the DE register is saved in the stack. With such a configuration, it is possible to calculate the 100 times value of the dividend using the DE register storing the address specifying the divisor while protecting the address specifying the divisor.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is capable of calculating a maximum of 2 bytes, but the dividend and the divisor are values that can be 3 bytes. In the subtraction process, the calculation of the 1st and 2nd bytes and the calculation of the 3rd byte are performed separately. With such a configuration, even when the divisor or the 100-fold value of the dividend exceeds 2 bytes, which is a size that can be calculated, the percentage of the dividend to the divisor can be calculated.

In the present embodiment, when the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the dividend multiplied by 100 in the 3-byte data division process reaches a specific value exceeding 100 and the specific flag is set, the abnormal process is performed when the dividend is multiplied by 100. After the divisor is subtracted from the value, if a specific flag is set, a jump instruction for jumping to a specified program is used to terminate the process of subtracting the divisor from the value 100 times the dividend. With such a configuration, it is possible to determine whether or not a specific flag is set by a single jump instruction and to move to a specified program associated with error processing.

In the modification of the 3-byte data division process in this embodiment, after multiplying the dividend by 200, the divisor is repeatedly subtracted from the 200 times the dividend until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0, and the divisor is subtracted. By adding 1 to the value of the A register each time the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the value multiplied by 200 of the dividend is counted, and the counted number of times is multiplied by 1/2. Values are calculated as the fraction of the dividend to the divisor. Also, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200 times the dividend is stored in the A register, in which a specific flag is set when the specific value exceeds 200, and the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200 times the dividend is When the specified value exceeding 200 is reached and the specified flag is set, it is judged to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 200 times the dividend is terminated.

With such a configuration, when calculating the percentage of the dividend to the divisor, the 200 times value of the dividend is calculated, the divisor is subtracted from the 200 times value of the dividend until it falls below the divisor, and the number of times of subtraction is reduced to 1/ The doubled value can be calculated as a percentage of the dividend to the divisor. In such a configuration, for example, when the divisor is 0, even if the value obtained by multiplying the number of subtractions by 1/2 exceeds 100, which can be taken as a percentage, the result of subtracting the divisor from the 200-fold value of the dividend does not fall below 0. However, in this case, when the number of times of subtraction reaches a specific value exceeding 200 and a specific flag is set, it is judged to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 200 times the dividend is terminated. By doing so, even if the result of subtracting the divisor from the dividend multiplied by 200 does not fall below 0, the subtraction of the divisor can be completed.

Also, since the number of subtractions is stored in the A register in which a specific flag is set when the stored numerical value reaches a specific value, the number of subtractions can be set to the specific value simply by judging whether or not the specific flag is set. Since it is possible to determine that the number of It is possible to reduce the program capacity compared to a method that determines that the number of subtractions has become true, or a method that compares the number of subtractions with a specific value and determines that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value when the comparison results match.

In the modification of the 3-byte data division process of this embodiment, the storage address of the divisor stored in the DE register is saved in the stack before calculating the 200 times the dividend. With such a configuration, it is possible to calculate the 200 times value of the dividend using the DE register storing the address specifying the divisor while protecting the address specifying the divisor.

In the modified example of the 3-byte data division process in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can perform operations of up to 2 bytes, but since the dividend and the divisor are values that can be 3 bytes, the process of multiplying the dividend by 200 And in the process of subtracting the divisor from the 200-fold value of the dividend, the calculation of the 1st and 2nd bytes and the calculation of the 3rd byte are performed separately. With such a configuration, even if the divisor or the 200 times value of the dividend exceeds 2 bytes, which is a size that can be calculated, the percentage of the dividend to the divisor can be calculated.

In the modification of the 3-byte data division processing in this embodiment, when the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200 times the dividend reaches a specific value exceeding 200 and the specific flag is set, the 3-byte data division processing is executed. This abnormal processing subtracts the divisor from the value of 200 times the dividend and adds 1 to the value of the A register. When a specific flag is set, a jump instruction that jumps to the specified program is used to execute the 200 times the dividend. It is configured to end the process of subtracting the divisor from the value. With such a configuration, it is possible to determine whether or not a specific flag is set by a single jump instruction and to move to a specified program associated with error processing.

In this embodiment, the specific value is 256 at which the A register of the main controller 41 overflows. With such a configuration, when the number of subtractions stored in the A register overflows, a zero flag or a carry flag as a specific flag turns ON, and it is possible to specify that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value.

In this embodiment, when the percentage of the dividend to the divisor calculated from the number of subtractions stored in the A register of the main control unit 41 is 100 or more, the percentage is corrected to 99. With such a configuration, when the percentage of the dividend to the divisor calculated from the number of subtractions stored in the A register is 100 or more, it can be displayed even if it is displayed as a two-digit number. Since the maximum value of 99 is displayed, it is possible to recognize that the percentage of the dividend to the divisor is a large value of 99% or more.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute main processing that performs processing step by step and timer interrupt processing that periodically interrupts the processing being executed. In the main processing, the divisor and dividend are updated and , 3-byte data division processing is performed in the main processing, and the 100 percent ratio of the dividend to the divisor is calculated. During the period in which the divisor and the dividend are updated and the period in which the percentage of the dividend to the divisor is calculated, the interrupt is set to be prohibited, and execution of the timer interrupt process is prohibited. With such a configuration, the timer interrupt process is executed in the period in which the divisor and the dividend are updated and in the period in which the percentage of the dividend to the divisor is calculated, so that the divisor, the dividend, and the percentage of the dividend to the divisor are calculated. It is possible to prevent numerical values from being destroyed and unintended values to be calculated.

[Effect 2]
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute a 3-byte data addition/storage process for updating addition object data used for calculating the role payout ratio, the continuous role payout ratio, and the instructed role payout ratio. . In addition, in the 3-byte data addition/storage process, if an overflow occurs after the addition target data is updated, and if a specific condition that results in an abnormal value is satisfied due to the update of the addition target data, the addition target data is replaced with the value before the update. , and the carry flag is turned ON as restriction information for restricting subsequent updating of the data to be added. By adopting such a configuration, when an overflow occurs after updating the data to be added, and the update of the data to be added causes an abnormal value, the carry flag is turned ON as the restriction information. As a result, the subsequent update of the data to be added is restricted, and in this case, the data to be added is returned to the value before the update, so that the predetermined ratio is calculated with the unintended data to be added. can be prevented.

In the present embodiment, after updating the target data by addition, an overflow occurs, so that a specific condition that becomes an abnormal value due to the update of the data to be added is established. , when a specific condition that becomes an abnormal value is met by updating the target data, such as when an overflow occurs and a specific condition that becomes an abnormal value is met by updating the target data, the target data is returned to the value before the update. Any configuration may be used as long as it sets restriction information for restricting subsequent update of the target data. In addition, although the carry flag is used as the limit information, other F register values such as a zero flag and the limit flag set in the RAM 41c may be used.

In this embodiment, the data to be added is a value that can be a 3-byte value. is updated, the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added are added first, and then the 3rd byte of the data to be added is added. With such a configuration, even when the data to be added exceeds the two bytes that can be calculated at once, the data to be added can be updated.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 turns on the carry flag as the specific flag when the calculation result overflows, and adds the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data in the 3-byte data addition/storage process. As a result, when an overflow occurs, the carry flag is turned OFF, and then the third byte of the data to be added is added. With this configuration, when an overflow occurs as a result of addition of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added, the carry flag is turned off, and then the addition of the 3rd byte of the data to be added is performed. Therefore, whether or not the addition result of the third byte of the data to be added has overflowed can be accurately determined by the carry flag.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 adds the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added in the 3-byte data addition/storage process, and then stores the value of the BC register used for the addition of the 1st and 2nd bytes. Addition of the 3rd byte of the data to be added is performed without clearing, and if the result of the addition of the 3rd byte overflows, the value of the BC register is used for the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added. This is a configuration that restores the value to the value before addition. By adopting such a configuration, it is not necessary to read a new numerical value when returning the data to be added to the value before updating, so that the program can be simplified.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute main processing that performs processing step by step, and timer interrupt processing that periodically interrupts the processing being executed. is performed, and interrupts are prohibited during the period in which the data to be added is updated by the 3-byte data addition/storage process, and execution of the timer interrupt process is prohibited. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the addition object data from being destroyed and the predetermined ratio to be calculated using an unintended numerical value by executing the interrupt processing during the period in which the addition object data is updated. can be prevented.

It is a configuration that executes With such a configuration, the specific data is updated when it is determined to be the specific result, and the specific data is not updated when it is determined not to be the specific result, but when it is determined to be the specific result In any case where it is determined that the result is not the specific result, the specific program that can update the specific data using the value set in the C register is executed, and if the result is determined as the specific result, the specific program is executed. Execute the specific program with the value for updating the data set in the C register, and if it is determined that the result is not the specific result, execute the specific program with the value for not updating the specific data set in the C register. Therefore, even if it is determined that the specific result is not obtained, it is possible to confirm that the specific program stored in the specific address is executed without waiting until it is determined that the specific result is obtained.

It can be confirmed that a program is performed to set a value for updating the specific data to the C register without waiting until it is determined that the specific data is the specific result.

In this embodiment, after setting the value of the specific data to be updated in the C register, it is determined whether or not it is a specific result. is changed to a value that is not updated, but it is determined whether or not it is a specific result, and if it is determined to be a specific result, a value for updating the specific data is set in the C register, If it is determined that the specified data is not updated, the C register may be set to a value that does not update the specific data. If the specified program is executed with the value set in the C register and it is determined that the specified result is not the specified result, the specified program is executed with the value set in the C register that does not update the specified data, so the specified result is not the specified result. Even if it is determined as such, it can be confirmed that the specific program stored in the specific address is executed without waiting until it is determined that the result is the specific result.

In this embodiment, the specific program is a program that updates the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added to another numerical value, and the C register is set with the addition value used for updating the 3rd byte of the data to be added. It is a configuration that is With such a configuration, it is possible to update the value of the third byte of the addition target data when it is determined that the result is a specific result.

In this embodiment, the specific program is a program that adds the addition value to the value of the third byte of the data to be added and updates it to another value. An addition value is set, and 0 is set in the C register when it is determined that it is not a specific result, and the value set in the C register in the specific program is added to the value of the third byte of the data to be added. . With such a configuration, when it is determined to be a specific result and when it is determined not to be a specific result, by executing a common specific program, when it is determined to be a specific result can be added to the value of the third byte of the data to be added, and when it is determined that there is no specific result, the value of the third byte of the data to be added can be prevented from being updated.

A configuration in which an addition value is set in a register, 0 is set in the C register when it is determined that the result is not a specific result, and the value set in the C register in a specific program is added to the value of the third byte of the data to be added. However, the specific program is a program that updates the target data to a different value by subtracting the subtraction value from the target data. If it is determined that it is not, 0 may be set in the C register, and the value set in the C register in the specific program may be subtracted from the target data.

In addition, the specific program is a program that sets a specific value indicating a specific control state in the target area, and if it is determined as a specific result, the specific value is set in the C register, and it is determined that it is not a specific result. In this case, a predetermined value (value currently set in the target area) indicating the current control state is set in the C register, and the value set in the C register is set in the target area in the specific process. good.

In this embodiment, the specific result is that the calculation result of the 1st and 2nd bytes overflows. A specific result or the like may also be used.

It can be determined accurately by the carry flag.

[Effect 4]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stores a navigation number from "1" to "13" in the RAM 41c in accordance with the operation mode to be notified when the winning combination for which the navigation notification is to be given is won and the navigation notification is performed. Set in the navigation number setting area, and when a winning combination targeted for navigation notification is won and navigation notification is not performed, or when a winning combination not targeted for navigation notification is won, "0" is set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c. set to Then, the main control unit 41 acquires the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c in the instructed role item ratio update process, and if the navigation number is 0, the game is not a game in which navigation notification is performed. If the navigation numbers are 1 to 13 without updating the instruction-inclusive bonus payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 and the total number of instructed bonus-inclusive payout numbers, it is determined that the game is a game in which navigation notification is performed. It is configured to update by adding the instructed bonus payout counter of the total buffers 1 to 3 and the total accumulated instructed bonus payout number.

By adopting such a configuration, the number of payout medals in the game in which the navigation notification is performed is added to the instructed role payout counter of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 and the total number of instructed role payouts and updated. , it is only determined whether the numerical value set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c is 0 or 1 to 13, and whether or not the navigation notification is performed in the game. It is possible to determine whether or not to update the medals by adding them to the instructed accessory payout counters of the total buffers 1 to 3 and the total cumulative instructed accessory payout number.

In this embodiment, 1 to 13 are set as the navigation numbers in the main control unit 41. However, even if a value of 14 or more is set, navigation notification is not performed in the commanded role product ratio update process. It is determined that the game is to be played, and the instructed accessory payout counters in the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 and the total cumulative instructed accessory payout number are updated, and medals are given regardless of whether or not the navigation notification is performed. The ratio of the payout number of medals in the game in which the navigation notification was performed to the number of payouts (indicated role payout ratio, instructed role payout ratio (6000G)) is calculated.

With such a configuration, when a value of 14 or more exceeding the range of 1 to 13 set when the navigation notification is performed is set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c, that is, when the navigation notification is performed If it is not possible to specify whether or not the player has received a navigation notification, the medals given in the game are counted as the instructed accessory payout counter of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 and the total number of instructed accessory payouts. Therefore, even if it is unknown whether or not the navigation notification has been performed due to a malicious program or malfunction, the navigation notification for the number of medals paid out will be performed regardless of whether or not the navigation notification has been performed. The ratio of the number of medals to be paid out in a game that has been completed (instructed accessory payout ratio, instructed accessory payout ratio (6000G)) does not decrease, and whether or not appropriate gambling is secured from this ratio can be specified.

In this embodiment, in the operation signal setting process, the main control unit 41 performs a process for transmitting an operation signal capable of specifying the recommended stop operation mode to the test apparatus. In addition, in the operation signal setting process, the main control unit 41 acquires the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c, and if the navigation number is 1 or more and the navigation notification is to be performed, the navigation number If the navigation number is 0 and the navigation notification is not performed, the stop operation mode corresponding to the winning number can be specified. It is configured to perform processing for outputting an operation signal. With such a configuration, the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c is referred to, and when 1 to 13 are set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c, the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c is set. It is possible to output an operation signal capable of specifying an operation mode corresponding to the navigation notification by using the navigation number set to .

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 outputs a turn-on/turn-off signal based on the display data set in the output buffer of the auxiliary game display 12, and can display various information on the auxiliary game display 12. When a small win is won and medals are given, the number of payouts (1 to 15) can be displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. FIG.

Further, when performing navigation notification, the main control unit 41 converts the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c into display data when the start switch 7 is operated, and outputs the display data to the auxiliary game display 12. By setting it in the buffer, the navigation number is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and at the timing when the stop operation (change from OFF to ON) of the third stop reel is detected, the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 is displayed. It is initialized and the game auxiliary display 12 is put into a non-display state. After that, when the number of payouts is to be displayed, all the reels are stopped and the stop operation of the third stop reel is turned off, so that the number of payouts given by winning a small winning combination is converted into display data, By setting the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, the game auxiliary display 12 is caused to display the payout number.

The navigation number display data set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 is initialized before the payout number display data is set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, while the RAM 41c The navigation number set in the navigation number setting area is maintained without being initialized.

By adopting such a configuration, in order to determine whether or not the game is a game in which the navigation notification is performed, the RAM 41c is kept even after the timing at which the stop operation (change from OFF to ON) of the third stop reel is detected. The navigation number set in the navigation number setting area is maintained, but the display data of the navigation number set based on the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c is the display data of the number of payouts. Since the navigation display displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is initialized before being set in the output buffer 12 and before the display of the number of payouts is started, the navigation display and the display of the number of payouts are displayed. It can prevent confusion.

In the present embodiment, the number of payouts awarded for winning a small winning combination is displayed on the auxiliary game display 12 in common with the display of the navigation number by the navigation notification. It may be configured to be displayed on a display different from the game assistance display 12 on which the navigation number is displayed. By initializing the buffer and putting the auxiliary game display 12 into a non-display state, the navigation display displayed on the auxiliary game display 12 is erased before the display of the number of payouts is started. It is possible to prevent the display of the number of payouts from being confused.

The number setting area is initialized before the section display LED 19 is turned off. With such a configuration, the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c is initialized before the section display LED 19 turns off when the advantageous section ends, so the section display LED 19 turns off. Nevertheless, it is possible to prevent the navigation notification from being performed.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 acquires the navigation number set in the navigation number storage area of the RAM 41c. By turning the stop operation from ON to OFF, before the medal payout processing is performed, the instructed accessory payout counters of the total buffers 1 to 3 and the total accumulated instructed accessory payout counter are updated by the instructed accessory ratio update processing. This configuration updates the number of sheets. By adopting such a configuration, updating of the instructed accessory payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 and the total cumulative instructed accessory payout number will not be delayed depending on the status of the medal payout process.

In this embodiment, the navigation number set in the navigation number storage area of the RAM 41c is stored in the stop operation in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the navigation display even if the stop operation is performed in the operation mode corresponding to the navigation display. is not initialized until the end of the game. With such a configuration, regardless of whether or not the stop switch is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the navigation display, when medals are awarded, the instructed accessory payout counter of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 is displayed. , It is possible to update the total accumulated instructed accessory payout number.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can perform control to turn ON the signal buffer during the advantageous section in the RAM 41c when the flag during the advantageous section is set in the RAM 41c, and display the section in the advantageous section. By turning on the LED 19, it is possible to notify that it is an advantageous section. Also, the section display LED 19 is turned on when the advantageous section signal buffer of the RAM 41c is determined to be ON, and when the advantageous section ends, the advantageous section signal buffer is turned OFF in the advantageous section end processing. After that, it is determined that the signal buffer during the advantageous section of the RAM 41c is OFF in the game section notification end processing, so that it is controlled to be turned off. With such a configuration, the section display LED 19 is turned off, and although the notification of the advantageous section has ended, a situation in which control is performed in the advantageous section does not occur.

In this embodiment, the display of the number of payouts is continued even after the end of the game until the number of bets for the next game is set. With such a configuration, it is possible to confirm the display of the number of payouts even after one game is over.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 initializes the area of the RAM 41c in which information related to the advantageous section is stored at the end of the advantageous section, and the area in which the information related to the advantageous section of the RAM 41c is stored is , the target area at the end of the advantageous interval which is not initialized for each game, and the target area at the end of each game (related to AT) which is initialized for each game. By adopting such a configuration, at the end of the advantageous interval, without waiting for the end of one game, the information related to the advantageous interval stored in the target area (related to AT) at the end of each game initialized at the end of one game Since the information is also initialized, it is possible to prevent information related to the advantageous section from remaining even though the advantageous section has ended.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can control a plurality of advantageous section states in an advantageous section. And, at the end of each game, all target areas (AT-related) are initialized. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to initialize all the information about the advantageous section regardless of the advantageous section state controlled at the end of the advantageous section.

[Effect 5]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed by the reel stop processing, and all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed. If it is determined that it is rotating, the reception of the stop operation is set to be valid for all the reels that are performing rotation control, and when an effective stop operation is detected, the reel rotation stop processing is executed, and the corresponding reel is stopped. can be made

In addition, after the display data is set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display device 12, the main control unit 41 displays the display contents based on the display data by timer interrupt processing until the display data is erased. It is possible to execute control to display on the device 12 . Then, each time it is determined by the reel stop processing that all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed, the navigation number is acquired from the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c, and the acquired navigation number is displayed as data. , and set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 repeatedly.

With such a configuration, after the display data is set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, the display content based on the display data is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 until the display data is erased. However, when the navigation number for deriving the navigation target combination is displayed on the auxiliary game display device 12, all the reels under rotation control are in effect for the stop operation. The stop operation is effective because the process of setting the display data of the navigation number for stopping the navigation target role to the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 can be repeatedly executed on the condition that the navigation target role is rotated at a constant speed. It is possible to ensure that the navigation number is reliably notified in such a state.

In this embodiment, each time it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed, the navigation number is acquired from the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c, and the display based on the acquired navigation number is displayed. Data is repeatedly set in the output buffer of the auxiliary game display 12, but the number of times it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed reaches n (n≧2) times. Each time a navigation number is obtained from the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c, display data based on the obtained navigation number may be repeatedly set in the output buffer of the auxiliary game display 12. FIG.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not all reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed during reel rotation control by the reel stop processing, and determines whether or not all reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed. When it is determined that the reel is rotating at a constant speed, the process of determining whether or not a stop operation has been detected is repeated. With such a configuration, whether or not the stop operation is detected on the condition that all the reels under rotation control are rotated at a constant speed at which the stop operation is effective during the rotation control of the reels. Since the operation determination process for determining whether or not is repeatedly executed, it is possible to ensure that the reels are stopped by operating the stop switch in a state in which all the reels under rotation control are rotated at a constant speed. .

In this embodiment, when the main control unit 41 detects the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, the main control unit 41 shifts to the setting change state, which is advantageous for the player. It is possible to select and set any set value from set values 1 to 6 with different degrees, and initialize the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 with the start and end of the setting change state. As a result, the game auxiliary display 12 is brought into a non-display state.

Further, when the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. By initializing the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 when the display (navigation number or payout number) other than the error code or the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, the game auxiliary display 12 is in a non-display state.

Further, the main control unit 41 is in the process of executing the navigation notification, and after the power supply is stopped in a state where the navigation number (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, the power When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the power supply is resumed, and the state before the power supply is stopped is returned to the state in which the navigation notification is being executed, the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 is initialized. , the game auxiliary display 12 is put into a non-display state. In this case, the main control unit 41 converts the navigation number indicating the operation mode into display data at the timing when the reels rotate at a constant speed after the rotation of the reels is resumed by the reel stop processing and the stop operation is validated. By setting again to the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, the game auxiliary display 12 can display the navigation number (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode.

With such a configuration, even if the power supply is stopped while the display data of the number of payouts is set, and the set value is set when the power supply is started, the set value is set. Even if there is no payout number, the display data of the number of payouts is erased and the auxiliary game display 12 is hidden. Even when the supply is stopped, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being specified by whether or not the display based on the display data of the payout number is performed on the game auxiliary display device 12 when the store opens on the next day. . Also, when the navigation number (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, the setting key switch 37 is turned ON when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped. is not detected and the state before the power supply is stopped is returned to the state in which the navigation notification is being executed, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden, but after the reel rotation is resumed, the reel rotates at a constant speed. Since the operation display data is set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 on the condition that the stop operation is validated, after the power supply is resumed, the reels rotate at a constant speed and the stop operation is validated. At the same timing, the display of the navigation numbers (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode on the game auxiliary display 12 can be restarted.
