The sub-control unit 91 receives commands sent from the main control unit 41 and performs various controls for performing effects.

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment has a configuration in which the payout rate of medals changes depending on a set value. Specifically, the payout rate of medals is changed by using a winning probability according to a set value in a lottery that affects the advantage to the player, such as an internal lottery or an AT lottery. The set value is comprised of six levels from 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate, and decreasing values in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the setting value, the advantage is the highest for the player, and as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the advantage gradually decreases.

In order to change the set value, it is necessary to turn on the setting key switch 37 and then turn on the power switch 39 of the slot machine 1. When the power is turned on with the setting key switch 37 in the ON state, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset/setting switch 38. Move to setting change state. When the reset/setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the displayed value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated by 1 (if the setting value is further operated from setting value 6, it is updated to setting value 1). return). Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the displayed value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control section 41, and the game transitions to a state where 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. Of the clerks at the game parlor where the system is installed, only those who possess a predetermined key can operate the system. In particular, since the setting key switch 37 requires an additional key operation, it can only be operated by an employee of the game parlor who has a key for operating the setting key switch 37. Further, although the reset switch 23 does not require opening the front door 1b, it requires key operation using a predetermined key, and therefore can only be operated by a store clerk who possesses the predetermined key. Further, the reset/setting switch 38 also functions as a reset switch for canceling an error state in normal times.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 periodically performs a power outage determination process to determine whether or not a voltage drop is detected, and determines that a voltage drop has been detected in the power outage determination process. In this case, a power-off process (main) is executed to set data for determining whether the data in the RAM 41c is normal or not at the next recovery.

Then, the main control unit 41 returns the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before the power cut based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, on the condition that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of startup. It is considered possible. On the other hand, if the data in the RAM 41c is not normal at startup, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, an error flag indicating the RAM abnormality is set in the RAM 41c, and the RAM is controlled to an abnormal error state, making it impossible to proceed with the game. It has become. The RAM abnormality error state is canceled by moving to a setting change state and setting a new setting value, and the game can proceed.

In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when an abnormality is detected in accordance with the progress of the game, the main control unit 41 sets an error flag indicating the type of detected abnormality in the RAM 41c, and controls the state to a general error state. This makes it impossible to proceed with 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. Note that hereinafter, when there is no need to distinguish between a RAM abnormal error state and a general error state, they will simply be referred to as error states.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, first, the player inserts medals from the medal inserter 4 or operates the MAXBET switch 6 to set the number of bets using credits. When a predetermined number of bets is set according to the gaming state, a predetermined winning line LN (see FIG. ) is enabled, and the operation of the start switch 7 is enabled, that is, the game can be started. It should be noted that if more medals are inserted than the maximum number out of the prescribed number corresponding to the gaming state, the amount will be added to the credits. Further, in this embodiment, only one winning line is applied, but a plurality of winning lines may be applied.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, invalid lines LM1 to LM6 are set apart from the winning line LN in order to make it easier to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting a winning is completed on the winning line LN. Winning is not determined by the combination of symbols aligned on invalid lines LM1-LM6, but when the combination of symbols forming a winning line is aligned on winning line LN, invalid lines LM1-LM6 are By arranging a combination of symbols suggesting a winning in any of 6 (for example, Bell A-Bell A-Bell A), it is recognized that the combination of symbols constituting a winning is completed on the winning line LN. It makes it easier. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the invalid line LM1 is set across the upper row of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, the symbols arranged horizontally on the upper row, and the lower row of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. , that is, the invalid line LM2 is set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the lower row, the upper row of reel 2L, the middle row of reel 2C, the lower row of reel 2R, that is, the invalid line is set astride the symbols arranged in a downward-to-right direction. LM3, the lower row of reel 2L, the middle row of reel 2C, the upper row of reel 2R, that is, the invalid line LM4 set across the symbols arranged upward to the right, the upper row of reel 2L, the middle row of reel 2C, the upper row of reel 2R, i.e. The invalid line LM5 is set across the symbols arranged in a small V shape, the lower row of reel 2L, the middle row of reel 2C, the lower row of reel 2R, that is, the invalid line LM6 is set astride the symbols arranged in a mound. Six types are defined as invalid lines.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R is rotated, and the symbols on each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R are continuously changed. When any stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated while the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are being rotated, stop control is performed for the corresponding reel 2L, 2C, 2R, and the rotation of the relevant reel is stopped. The reels are stopped and the symbols on the reels are derived and displayed on the transparent 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 (in this example, 190 ms (milliseconds)) from the time when each stop switch is operated. is carried out, and until the maximum stop delay time (190 ms) has elapsed, it is possible to draw in symbols for a maximum of four frames. In other words, in stop control, one symbol is selected from among the symbols displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols up to 4 frames ahead, for a total of 5 frames (pull-in range). It is possible to select and derive the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

As a result, in the stop control, when the rotation is stopped by operating the corresponding stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R for each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the winning combination won in the internal lottery to be described later is displayed. If the constituent symbols are within the pull-in range of 4 frames ahead from the symbol when the stop switch was operated, the symbol is pulled onto the winning line LN and the rotation of the reel when the stop switch was operated is stopped. On the other hand, if the symbols constituting the winning combinations that have been won in the internal lottery are not within the drawing range, the symbols constituting the winning combinations that have not been won in the internal lottery will be moved to the winning line LN. In order to prevent the reel from stopping above, it is possible to draw symbols that do not constitute any winning combination onto the winning line LN and control the rotation of the reel on which the stop switch is operated to stop.

In addition, in the stop control, if the winning of a special prize (in this example, BB) that involves a transition of the gaming state is carried over, a small prize that is accompanied by the award of medals is won in an internal lottery, and the special prize is When a small role and a small role are won at the same time, the symbols constituting the winning small role are controlled to be drawn into the winning line LN with priority within the above-mentioned pull-in range, and the winning small role is When the constituent symbols cannot be drawn into the winning line LN, the constituent symbols of a winning special combination are controlled to be drawn into the winning line LN. For this reason, in a game where a special prize and a minor prize are won at the same time, it is difficult to win the winning special prize.

In addition, in the stop control, if the winning of the special winning combination (BB in this embodiment) is carried over, a replaying combination with a replay award is won in the internal lottery, and the special winning combination and the replaying combination are When the winning combinations are won at the same time, the symbols constituting the winning re-gaming combination are given priority and drawn into the winning line LN. The symbols that make up the replay combination on each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R are arranged within a predetermined pull-in range, and when a replay combination is won, the symbols that make up the replay combination are always drawn into the winning line LN. Become. For this reason, in a game where a special winning combination and a replay winning combination are won at the same time, the winning special winning combination cannot be won.

Then, one game ends when all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, and a predetermined combination of winning symbols is displayed on each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R, and stops on the winning line LN. When a winning occurs, control is performed according to the winning. When a small winning combination is won, a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player according to the type of winning, and are added to the credits. Further, when the number of credits reaches the upper limit number (50 in this embodiment), medals are directly paid out from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 1). Furthermore, if a re-game winning combination is won, a re-game is awarded that allows the player to play the game without inserting medals. Furthermore, when a special combination is won, the gaming state is shifted to a special gaming state.

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

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the types of winning combinations (hereinafter referred to as winning combinations) are determined according to the gaming state, and include small winning combinations that involve the payout of medals, and small winning combinations that do not require setting the number of bets. There are two types of combinations: a replay combination that grants a replay that allows the next game to be started, and a special combination that accompanies a transition to a special gaming state. Hereinafter, the small role and the replayed role will be collectively referred to as the general role. In order to win a prize for each role determined according to the gaming state, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag for that role. In the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to allow winnings for each of the above-mentioned winning combinations before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, after a specified number of This is determined using random numbers when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected with the number of bets set.

Of the winning flags for each role, the winning flags for small roles and replayable roles are valid only in the game in which the flag was set, and will be invalid in the next game, but the winning flag for the special role is valid only in the game in which the flag was set. It is valid until the combination of combinations allowed by the flag is completed, and becomes invalid in the game where the combination of combinations allowed by the flag is completed. In other words, once a special winning flag is won, the winning flag will not be invalidated and will be carried over to the next game, even if it is not possible to match the combination of winnings allowed by the flag. It has become.

In addition, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, push order, operation timing), the small winning combination is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in other operation modes. , a replay winning combination (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a navigation target winning combination) can be won. The navigation target winnings include, for example, winnings in which the stopping mode is more advantageous when the stopping operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode than the stopping mode when the stopping operation is performed in another operation mode. , including combinations in which when a stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation manner, the rate of stopping is higher in a more advantageous stop operation than when the stop operation is performed in another operation manner. Further, the advantageous stopping mode includes not only a stopping mode that involves the awarding of medals, but also a stopping mode that involves a transition to an advantageous gaming state, a stopping mode that avoids a transition to a disadvantageous gaming state, and the like.

The main control unit 41 executes navigation notification that notifies navigation information that allows specifying the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that is advantageous for the player according to the internal lottery result 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 right to be controlled in the AT state is granted to the player. When the control is in the AT state, navigation notification is executed by winning the navigation target combination, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that is advantageous to the player (for example, the order in which they are pressed) is executed. , operation timing, etc.) using the game auxiliary display 12, and also transmits a command that can specify the operation mode that is advantageous to the player to the sub-control unit 91, so that the operation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display. A navigation performance to be notified using a device 51 or the like is executed. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the operation mode notified by the navigation notification and navigation performance, it is possible to reliably win the navigation target combination won in the internal lottery.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 includes a gaming auxiliary display 12 that can display the number of medals to be paid out, an error code, and navigation information, and uses the gaming auxiliary display 12 in controlling the navigation notification. Although the configuration is such that the navigation information is notified by using the navigation information, it is also possible to provide a dedicated display that can display only the navigation information, and use the dedicated display to notify the navigation information in controlling the navigation notification.

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

The normal gaming state (non-internal) is a state in which BB is not won in the normal gaming state. This gaming state is controlled in the factory-shipped state of the slot machine 1 or in a state in which the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized by setting new setting values by shifting to the setting change state. Further, even when the special gaming state is ended, the normal gaming state (non-internal) is controlled. Then, the normal gaming state (non-internal) continues until BB wins in the internal lottery, and in the game in which BB wins in the internal lottery, BB does not win and shifts to the normal gaming state (internal). Alternatively, the game ends when BB wins a prize in a game in which BB wins in an internal lottery and shifts to a special game state.

The normal gaming state (internal) is a state in which BB is carried over from the normal gaming state. In this embodiment, when the special role and the minor role are won at the same time, control is performed to prioritize the minor role, and when the special role and the re-gaming role are won at the same time, the re-gaming role is controlled. By performing control to ensure that the BBs are aligned, BB is prevented from winning even when a small winning combination is won in the normal gaming state (internal) or when a replaying winning combination is won. In the normal gaming state (internal middle), one of the small winning combinations or one of the re-gaming winnings is always won, so once you shift to the normal gaming state (internal middle), BB will not win and the normal gaming state ( After transitioning to (internal), the normal gaming state (internal) is maintained until the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized by setting a new setting value by transitioning to the setting change state. It is now possible to do so.

The special gaming state is a gaming state that enters when BB wins a prize in a game in which BB wins in the normal gaming state (non-internal), and a predetermined ending condition is met (in this example, the medals in the special gaming state The game continues until the total number of paid out coins exceeds 50 coins), and ends when a predetermined termination condition is satisfied and the game enters the normal gaming state (non-internal).

In this way, in this embodiment, since the control will be in the normal gaming state (internal mode) during most of the games, it is assumed that the control is in the normal gaming state (internal mode), and the setting value (in this implementation In the example, the medal payout rate is designed according to 1 to 6).

[About the roles targeted for internal lottery]
As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, in the normal gaming 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 role A+1 piece, specific small role B+1 piece, 1 piece, navigation small role, 3 pieces, BB, BB+3 pieces are subject to internal lottery. In the normal gaming 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 role A + 1 piece, specific small The winning probabilities for the role B + 1 piece, 1 piece, Navi small role, 3 pieces, BB, BB + 3 pieces are about 1/9.9, about 1/65, about 1/16384, about 1/137, about 1/101, respectively. , 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 The probability of not winning (losing) is 0.

In addition, in the normal gaming state (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 role A + 1 piece, Specific small winning combination B+1 piece, 1 piece, Navi small winning combination, 3 pieces are subject to internal lottery. In the normal gaming state (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 role A + 1 piece, specific small role The winning probabilities for B+1 piece, 1 piece, navigation small role, and 3 pieces 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 approximately 1/655, approximately 1/49, approximately 1/49, approximately 1/49, approximately 1/1.37, approximately 1/14.5, and the probability of not winning (losing) is 0. .

In addition, in the special game state, the composite minor winnings A and composite minor winnings B are subject to internal lottery. In the special game state, the winning probability of composite minor prize A and composite minor prize B is set to approximately 1/33 and approximately 1/1.2, respectively, and the probability of not winning (losing) is approximately 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 wins, the normal replay B always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the normal replay C wins, the normal replay C always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing.

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

A re-game is awarded when a prize is won in normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, and strong chance replay B.

The specific small role A+1 piece is a winning combination of the specific small role A and 1 piece, and when the specific small role A+1 piece is won, the left reel will stop at the stop operation timing that is within the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small role A. When the operation is performed, regardless of the order of the stop operations, the specified minor role A with the payout of 15 medals will be won, but the left reel will be moved at the timing of the stop operation that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific minor role A. When a stop operation is performed, one medal is paid out and one medal is won regardless of the order of the stop operations.

The specific small role B + 1 piece is a winning combination of the specific small role B and 1 piece, and when the specific small role B + 1 piece is won, the left reel will stop at the stop operation timing that is within the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small role B. When the operation is performed, regardless of the order of the stop operations, the specified minor role B with the payout of 15 medals will be won, but the left reel will be moved at the timing of the stop operation that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific minor role B. When a stop operation is performed, one medal is paid out and one medal is won regardless of the order of the stop operations.

When one medal is won, one medal is always paid out and one medal is won regardless of the stop operation order and stop operation timing. As mentioned above, if a specific minor role A+1 piece is won and the left reel is stopped at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific minor role A, or if a specific minor role B+1 piece is won. , Even if the left reel is stopped at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific minor winning B, one piece will win regardless of the order of the stopping operations, so the specific minor winning If one piece wins as a result of performing a stop operation on the left reel at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of A, or a stop operation timing that falls outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific small role B, It is impossible to determine whether the specific small winning combination A+1 piece, the specific small winning combination B+1 piece, or one piece is winning.

A navigation minor role is a role in which multiple minor roles (in this example, a main minor role and a sub minor role) are won, and the stop operation order corresponding to each navigation minor role and each navigation minor role is a winning role. When a stop operation is performed on the reel that stops first (first stop reel) at the stop operation timing, a main/minor combination with a payout of 15 medals is won, while a stop operation other than the corresponding stop operation order is performed. If the stop operation is performed in sequence, or if 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 sub-minor role wins, or neither role wins. In other words, the expected value of the number of medals awarded 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 stop operation timing corresponding to the won navigation small winning combination are changed by the navigation notification. The expected value of the number of medals to be awarded changes as a result of the notification.

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

When the BB is won, if the stop operation is performed on all reels at the stop operation timing that is within the drawing range of the BB constituent symbols (in this example, the combination of "White 7-Plum-Plum"), the BB will be won. If you win a prize and the gaming state shifts to the special gaming state, but if a stop operation is performed on any reel at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the BB constituent symbols, you will lose without winning any winnings. , BB's winnings are carried over to the next game and thereafter, and the game shifts to the normal gaming state (internal).

BB+3 medals is a winning combination of BB and 3 medals, and when BB+3 medals are won, regardless of the stop operation order and stop operation timing, 3 medals are always paid out and BB is won. is carried over to the next game and thereafter, the game enters the normal gaming state (internal mode).

Composite minor role A is a role in which all the main minor roles, specific minor role A, and specific minor role B that make up the navigation minor role are won, and when composite minor role A is won, the stop operation order and stop operation timing are determined. Regardless, a specific main/minor combination with a payout of 15 medals will always win.

Composite small role B is a role in which all the secondary minor roles that make up the navigation minor role, 1 piece, and 3 pieces are won, and when composite small role B is won, regardless of the stop operation order or the stop operation timing, it is always a win. One medal is won with the payout of one medal.

The lottery targets (including non-wins) for the internal lottery include non-wins, 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, and specific. Winning numbers from 0 to 39 are assigned in the order of minor role A + 1 piece, specific minor role B + 1 piece, 1 piece, navigation minor role, 3 pieces, BB, BB + 3 pieces, composite minor role A, and composite minor role B. , the winning number corresponding to the lottery result of the internal lottery is set in the RAM 41c. In addition, the lottery targets (including non-winners) of the internal lottery include the corresponding flags for moving to advantageous areas from 0 to 4, lottery flags 1 from 0 to 3, lottery flags 2 from 0 to 3, and lottery flags from 0 to 4. The lottery flag 3 is assigned, and the advantageous section transition flag and lottery flags 1 to 3 are set in the RAM 41c according to the internal lottery result (winning number). The advantageous section shift flag is referenced when determining whether to shift to an advantageous section or not. In addition, lottery flags 1 to 3 are used to determine whether or not to perform a lottery related to the AT state (normal game number reduction lottery, second and third AT lottery, first to third additional AT lottery, etc., which will be described later); Referenced when drawing lots related to the state.

The advantageous section transition flag is assigned 0 to lottery targets other than the advantageous section transition combination, and for advantageous section transition combinations, for example, multiple types of winning combinations, multiple lottery targets with similar winning probabilities, etc. A common value is assigned to lottery targets that have common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery that is performed at the time of section transition. Therefore, when determining whether or not to shift to an advantageous section, the main control unit 41 does not need to individually specify whether or not the winning number is a shift 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 combination. In addition, when specifying the probability according to the winning number in the lottery held at the time of transition to an advantageous section, instead of specifying the probability from each winning number, the probability according to the winning number is determined from the value of the flag for transition to an advantageous section. There is no need to determine the probability for each individual winning number, and by determining the probability for each flag for transition to an advantageous area, which is smaller than the number of types of winning numbers, the probability can be determined according to the attributes of the lottery target. can be identified.

The lottery flag is assigned 0 to lottery targets that are not eligible for lottery related to AT status, and 0 is assigned to lottery targets that are not eligible for lottery related to AT status, and for lottery targets that are eligible for lottery related to AT granting, for example, multiple types of navigation small roles are assigned. A common value is assigned to lottery targets having common attributes that do 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, but depending on whether the lottery flag is 0 or not. It is possible to specify whether or not to perform a lottery related to the AT state. In addition, when specifying the probability according to the winning number in a lottery related to the AT state, instead of specifying the probability from each winning number, the probability according to the winning number is specified from the value of the lottery flag. There is no need to determine the probability for each winning number, and by determining the probability for each lottery flag, which is smaller than the number of winning numbers, it is possible to specify the probability according to the attributes of the lottery target. can. In addition, the lottery flags include lottery targets that are not eligible for lottery related to the AT state, lottery targets that have common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery related to the AT state, and lottery flags 1 to 1 that differ from each other. 3, and by using any of lottery flags 1 to 3 depending on the type of lottery related to the AT state, you can be excluded from the lottery related to the AT state according to the type of lottery related to the AT state. The lottery targets can be made different, and the probabilities can be set to be different for each lottery target having a common attribute that does not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery related to the AT state.

In this way, even if the types of navigation minor winnings are different, if a navigation minor winning combination corresponding to the same operation mode is won, a common navigation notification is performed.

In addition, if the navigation notification is not performed when the navigation minor winning combination is won, the main control unit 41 transmits the internal winning command and then sends the navigation system that can specify “0” for which the operation mode corresponding to the navigation minor winnings is not specified. While transmitting the command, as shown in FIG. 6, if either red left middle bell A or red left middle bell B is selected and a navigation notification is to be performed, the corresponding operation mode is the left red area/middle/ When transmitting a navigation command that can specify "1" indicating the right stop to the sub-control unit 91, and performing navigation notification as to whether red left/right bell A or red left/right bell B is selected, A navigation command that can specify "2" indicating that the corresponding operation mode is left red area/right/middle stop is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, and the red middle left bell A and the red middle left bell B are If any of them wins and a navigation notification is to be made, a navigation command that can specify "3" indicating that the corresponding operation mode is a middle red area, left/right stop, is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. , when either red middle right bell A or red middle right bell B is selected and a navigation notification is made, it is possible to specify "4" indicating that the corresponding operation mode is middle red area, right/left stop. When a navigation command is sent to the sub-control unit 91 and a navigation notification is made when either red right/left bell A or red right/left bell B is won, the corresponding operation mode is right red area/left/middle stop. When transmitting a navigation command that can specify "5" indicating that the winning result is to the sub-control unit 91, and performing navigation notification as to which of the red right middle bell A and the red right middle bell B has won, A navigation command that can specify "6" indicating that the corresponding operation mode is right red area, middle, and left stop is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, and white left middle bell A and white left middle bell B are If any of them wins and the navigation is notified, a navigation command that can specify "7" indicating that the corresponding operation mode is left white area, middle, or right stop is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. , if either white left/right bell A or white left/right bell B is selected and a navigation notification is made, a navigation system that can specify "8" indicating that the corresponding operation mode is left white area, right, or middle stop is selected. When a command is sent to the sub-control unit 91 and a navigation notification is made when either the white center left bell A or the white center left bell B is selected, the corresponding operation mode is center white area/left/right stop. When transmitting a navigation command that can specify "9" indicating that it is to the sub-control unit 91, and performing navigation notification as to which of the white middle right bell A and the white middle right bell B has won, A navigation command that can specify "10" indicating that the corresponding operation mode is center white area/right/left stop is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, and whether white right/left bell A or white right/left bell B is If you win and want to notify the navigation, send a navigation command that can specify "11" indicating that the corresponding operation mode is right white area, left, middle stop to the sub-control unit 91, and If either right center bell A or white right center bell B is selected and a navigation notification is made, a navigation system that can specify "12" indicating that the corresponding operation mode is right white area, middle, or left stop is selected. A command is sent to the sub-control unit 91.

In this way, even if the types of navigation minor winnings are different, if a navigation minor winning combination corresponding to the same stop operation order is won, a common navigation command is transmitted to the sub control unit 91.

As shown in FIG. 6, the main control unit 41 determines whether navigation notification is to be made or not when specific small winning combination A+1 piece, specific small winning combination B+1 piece, and 1 piece are won in the internal lottery. Also, no matter which of the specific small winning combinations A+1, specific small winnings B+1, and 1 is won, the internal winning command that indicates the common winning number 8, i.e., specific small winnings A+1, specific small winnings B+1, 1, is issued. An internal winning command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 that makes it possible to specify that one of the tickets has been won, but that it is impossible to specify which one has been won.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, when either the specific small winning combination A+1 piece or the specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won and navigation notification is performed, the main control unit 41 controls the game assistance as shown in FIG. By displaying "13" on the display 12, navigation notification is performed to prompt a stop operation in an operation mode (left white area) in which the left reel stop operation timing is in the white 7 area.

In this way, no matter which of the specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 winning, the operation mode for winning the specific small winnings A and B is the same, and the navigation notification that the specific small winning combination A+1 is won. A common navigation notification is performed both in the case where a specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won and the navigation notification is performed.

If the main control unit 41 does not notify the navigation when either the specific small winning combination A+1 piece or the specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won, after transmitting the internal winning command, the main control unit 41 sends a message “0” in which it is not specified which one has won. ”, and as shown in Figure 6, if either of the specific small winnings A+1 pieces or the specific small winnings B+1 pieces is won and the navigation is notified, the left reel stop operation is performed. A navigation command that can specify "13" indicating that the timing is a stop operation in an operation mode (left white area) that corresponds to the white 7 area is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

In addition, since the navigation notification is not performed when one ticket is won, the main control unit 41 transmits an internal winning command when one ticket is won, and then specifies "0", which does not specify which one is the winner. Send possible navigation commands.

In this way, no matter which of the specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 winning, the operation mode for winning the specific small winnings A and B is the same, and the navigation notification that the specific small winning combination A+1 is won. A common navigation command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 both in the case where the specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won and the navigation notification is performed.

When the sub-control unit 91 receives an internal winning command indicating the winning of a navigation minor prize, it is possible to specify from the internal winning command that one of the navigation minor prizes has been won; Since the corresponding operation mode cannot be specified, if the navigation notification is not performed on the main control unit 41 side and the corresponding operation mode is not specified from the navigation command received after the internal winning command, the navigation minor win is won and the navigation Control when notification is not performed, for example, determining one of the performance contents from a group of performances corresponding to the winning of the navigation minor role and no navigation notification (for example, a performance indicating the winning of the navigation minor role, etc.) Then, the performance is performed according to the determined performance content.

[About the winning probability of the small roles that make up the navigation small role, specific small role, and composite small role]
In this example, as shown in FIG. 8, in the normal gaming state (non-internal/internal), the probability of winning the red left middle bell A when the upper bell A wins, and the winning probability of the red left middle bell when the upper bell B wins. The winning probability of B, the winning probability of red left and right bells A that lower right bell A wins, the winning probability of red left and right bells B that small V bell A wins, the winning probability of red middle left bell A that wins middle bell A, Probability of winning red middle left bell B when Koyama Bell A wins, probability of winning red middle right bell A when rising right bell A wins, probability of winning red middle right bell B when rising right bell B wins, rising right bell. Winning probability of red right left bell A winning C, winning probability of red right left bell B winning Koyama Bell B, winning probability of red right middle bell A winning middle bell B, red right middle winning lower bell A. Probability of winning bell B, probability of winning white left middle bell A with upper bell C winning, probability of winning white middle bell B with upper bell D winning, probability of winning white left and right bell A with lower right bell B winning. , the probability of winning the white left and right bells B when the small V bell B wins, the probability of winning the white middle left bell A when the middle bell C wins, the probability of winning the white middle left bell B when the small bell C wins, the probability of winning the right rising bell D Winning probability of white middle right bell A winning, winning probability of white middle right bell B winning right rising bell E, winning probability of white right left bell A winning right rising bell F winning, white winning probability of white right bell D winning right rising bell F. The winning probability of right and left bell B, the winning probability of white right middle bell A that middle bell D wins, and the winning probability of white right middle bell B that lower bell B wins, are all 2000/65536, and specific small role A. The winning probability of the specific small winning combination A+1 piece in which the specified small winning combination B is won and the winning probability of the specific small winning combination B+1 piece in which the specific small winning combination B is won are both 1345/65536.

In addition, in the special game state, all the main and minor roles, namely upper bells A to D, middle bells A to D, lower bells A, B, lower right bells A, B, upper right bells A to F, small mountain bells A to The winning probability of composite small winning combination 1 in which D, small V bells A and B and specific small winning combinations A and B are won is 2001/65536, and the winning probability of small winning combination 1 in which D, small V bells A and B and specific small winning combinations A and B are won is 2001/65536. It is set higher than the winning probability for each winning combination (2000/65536).

In addition, the probability of winning any of the main and minor roles in the special gaming state (2001/65536) is higher than the probability of winning any of the main and minor roles in the normal gaming state (non-internal/internal) (48000/65536). is set low. In other words, the winning probability of each main and minor role in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium, internal medium) is set lower than the winning probability of the main and minor role in the special gaming state, but in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium, internal The probability of winning a main/minor combination in the special game state is set lower than the probability of winning any of the main/minor combinations in (medium).

From this, for example, if there is only one type of main and minor winning combination in navigation minor winnings that correspond to the same operation mode, the probability of winning each of the main and minor winnings in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium, internal medium) is high. If the probability of winning the main and minor roles in the special gaming state is set higher than that, the probability of winning the main and minor roles in the special gaming state will become relatively high. In a configuration where the winning probability of the main and minor roles in the special gaming state is set higher than the winning probability of each of the main and minor roles in the state (non-internal medium, internal medium), the winning probability of the main minor role in the navigation minor role corresponding to the same operation mode is By having multiple types of minor prizes (two types in this example), the probability of winning each major minor prize in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium, internal medium) decreases, so the winning probability of each major minor prize in the special gaming state decreases accordingly. It becomes possible to lower the probability of winning a role.

In addition, the probability of winning specific minor roles A and B in the normal gaming state (non-internal/internal) is 1345/65536, respectively, and It is set lower than the winning probability (2000/65536). For this reason, if the left reel is operated in an operation mode in which the stop operation timing is in the white 7 area, the probability of winning the specific small winning combinations A and B, which can reliably obtain 15 medals, does not increase excessively.

In addition, the winning probability of composite minor role 1 in which all the main minor roles and specific minor roles A and B are won in the special gaming state is 2001/65536, and in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium/internal medium) It is set higher than the winning probability of each of the main and minor prizes (2000/65536) in the game, and higher than the winning probability of each of the specific minor prizes A and B (1345/65536) in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium/internal medium). There is.

In addition, the probability of winning the main and minor roles in the special game state is higher than the probability of winning either the main or minor role or specific minor roles A or B (50690/65536) in the normal gaming state (non-internal/internal). (2001/65536), the winning probability of specific small winning combinations A and B in the special game state (2001/65536) is set lower. In other words, the probability of winning each of the main and minor roles and specific minor roles A and B in the normal gaming state (non-internal/internal) is lower than the probability of winning the main and minor roles and specific minor roles A and B in the special gaming state. However, the probability of winning either the main or minor role or specific minor role A or B in the special gaming state is higher than the probability of winning either the main or minor role or specific minor role A or B in the normal gaming state (non-internal/internal). , B is set to have a low probability of winning.

In addition, if there is only one type of specific minor role, the probability of winning the specific minor role in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium/internal medium) will be higher, and the probability of winning the specific minor role in the special gaming state will be higher. If the probability of winning is set high, the probability of winning a specific minor role or main minor role in the special gaming state will become relatively high. ) In a configuration where the probability of winning the specific minor role and the main minor role in the special gaming state is set higher than the winning probability of the specific minor role in , Since the individual winning probabilities of specific small roles A and B in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium/internal medium) decrease, the winning probability of specific small winnings A and B and the main minor role in the special gaming state is correspondingly lowered. becomes possible.

[About the gaming section]
As shown in FIG. 10, the main control unit 41 can control the game period to be either a normal period or an advantageous period.

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. Thereafter, the normal section ends in a game in which an advantageous section transfer combination is won in an internal lottery in a game controlled to a gaming state other than the special gaming state. In the normal section, the section display LED 19 is always controlled to be off.

The advantageous section is a game section in which navigation notification may be performed, and is a game section that is advantageous for the player compared to the normal section because the navigation notification can be performed. The advantageous section is determined to be transferred to the advantageous section by winning an advantageous section transfer combination in an internal lottery in a game that is controlled to a gaming state other than the special gaming state in the normal section game, and the next game starts. It is started by being done. Thereafter, the process ends when the end conditions for the advantageous section (end conditions 1 to 3, which will be described later) are met. The main control unit 41 can make it possible to recognize that the vehicle is in an advantageous section by lighting the section display LED 19 at the start of the advantageous section. Thereafter, 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 up the section display LED 19 at the start of the game when the advantageous section starts, thereby starting to notify that the advantageous section is being controlled. After the start of the section, at the start of the game where the medal payout rate (number of payouts/number of bets) can exceed 100% due to the first navigation notification, the section is controlled to be an advantageous section by lighting up the section display LED 19. It may also be configured to start notifying the user of the situation.

In the advantageous section, navigation notification is performed when a predetermined notification condition is satisfied (in this example, the control is in the CZ state or AT state, which will be described later, and the navigation target combination is won in an internal lottery). The navigation notification is made to notify the player of the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that are advantageous to the player.

The main control unit 41 controls the vehicle to be in a CZ state or an AT state in which navigation notification is performed when controlling the vehicle in an advantageous section. When the control is in the CZ state or the AT state, when the navigation target combination is won in the internal lottery, the navigation notification control (control to display the navigation display on the game auxiliary display 12, control to display the navigation display on the navigation display It is possible to notify the player of the operating mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that is advantageous to the player by controlling the control to send a navigation command that can specify the corresponding navigation number, and the advantageous section is usually This is a game section that is more advantageous for the player than the other sections.

The end conditions for the advantageous section include termination condition 1, which is satisfied when the number of games in the advantageous section (number of games in the advantageous section) reaches a first specified number (1500 games in this example) determined as the upper limit number of games. , an end that is established when the net increase in the number of medals after the increase or 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 example) determined as the upper limit number. Condition 2: A predetermined arbitrary condition (in this example, the number of games remaining in the advantageous section at the time the CZ state ends without transitioning to the AT state is less than 500G, and the conditions for ending the AT state are met) The advantageous section is ended when at least one of the ending conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the game period is controlled to be the normal period, the game period is shifted to the advantageous period by winning a predetermined advantageous period shift combination, but if the game period is controlled to be the normal period. When the control is in the normal section, by winning the lottery target hand for advantageous section transfer in the internal lottery, a lottery for transfer to advantageous section will be performed, and by winning in the lottery for transfer to advantageous section, the game section will be changed to the advantageous section. It may also be configured to move to .

[About initialization due to setting changes]
Next, the initialization of the gaming state and gaming section due to the setting change will be explained. The main control unit 41 initializes a part of the area stored in the RAM 41c upon transition to the setting change state. At this time, information regarding the gaming state and information regarding the gaming section are initialized.

The information regarding the gaming state includes the gaming state flag indicating the gaming state and the BB winning flag, and as the information regarding the gaming state is initialized as the transition to the settings change state occurs, the information before transitioning to the settings change state is Regardless of whether the gaming state is normal gaming state (non-internal), normal gaming state (internal), or special gaming state, the gaming state flag and the BB winning flag are initialized and the normal gaming It will be controlled by the state (non-internal).

In addition, the information regarding the game section includes an advantageous section flag indicating an advantageous section, and the information regarding the game section is initialized upon transition to the setting change state, so that the game section before transitioning to the setting change state is initialized. Whether it is a normal section or an advantageous section, the advantageous section flag is initialized and the vehicle is controlled to be a normal section.

In addition, the information regarding the game section includes information related to the AT state (such as information related to the advantageous section state described later), and the information regarding the game section is initialized as the transition to the setting change state occurs. Regardless of whether the gaming section before moving to the setting change state is a normal section or an advantageous section, the information related to the AT state will be initialized, and the information related to the previous AT state will not be carried over. It has become.

[About main processing]
The control details of the main processing performed by the main control unit 41 will be explained based on FIG. 9. Note that the main process is repeatedly executed for each unit of game. One period of the main processing corresponds to one unit of the game.

As shown in FIG. 9, the main control unit 41 first performs a game start waiting process (Sa1), and performs a process from the end of the control of the previous game to the start of the next game. In the game start waiting process, the number of bets is set according to the insertion of medals, etc., and when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected with the specified number of bets set, the next game is started. Perform the process to start.

Next, when the game starts, an internal lottery process (Sa2) is performed to determine whether or not to allow the occurrence of a prize (internal lottery). In the internal lottery process, winnings are allowed to occur based on preset values (1 to 6) in the slot machine 1 and random numerical values for the internal lottery acquired at the same time as the start of the game by detection of the start switch 7. An internal lottery is performed to determine whether or not to do so (that is, whether or not to allow the derivation of display results). Then, the winning combination numbers (including winning numbers and losing numbers) corresponding to the winning combinations are stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c so that the winning results in the internal lottery can be specified.

Next, an advantageous section transfer flag generation process (Sa3) for converting the winning number into an advantageous section transfer flag, and a lottery flag generation process (Sa4) for converting the winning number into a lottery flag are performed. In the advantageous section shift flag generation process, the advantageous section shift flag conversion table is used to obtain the value of the advantageous section shift flag corresponding to the winning number, and the value is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. In addition, in the lottery flag generation process, the values of lottery flags 1 to 3 corresponding to the winning numbers are obtained using the lottery flag conversion table and stored in predetermined areas of the RAM 41c.

Next, a game start ball payout control process (Sa5) is performed to perform a process related to the game section and a process related to navigation notification at the timing when the game is started. In the process related to the game section, if the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section, the process is performed to transfer to the advantageous section, and in the process related to navigation notification, the process is performed to transfer from the normal state to the CZ state described later in the advantageous section. , transition from the CZ state to the AT state, and processes related to the management of the AT state. In particular, in the advantageous section, a first AT lottery, a mode lottery, a normal game number lottery, a third AT lottery, a second additional lottery, and a third additional lottery, which will be described later, are performed according to the results of the internal lottery and the state of the advantageous section.

Next, a game start command transmission process (Sa6) is performed to specify that one game has started, and a control state command that includes a plurality of commands that can specify various control states at the start of one game. The group is set in a command queue and sequentially transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

Next, after the game start command transmission process, a freeze process (Sa7) is performed to control a freeze state that delays the progress of the game for a predetermined period of time. In the freeze processing, when the start switch 7 is operated and the game is started, it is determined whether or not it has been decided to control to the freeze state, and if it is determined that it has been decided to control to the freeze state In this case, the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period of time. Furthermore, when performing a reel effect in which the reels are varied in the frozen state, a process is performed in which the reels are varied in a variation manner according to the type of reel effect.

Next, after the freeze process is completed, a game start time setting process (Sa8) is performed to set a predetermined time to start rotating the reels. In the game start time setting process, a process for starting the rotation of the reels in conjunction with the start of the game is performed, and the reels are started to rotate at a constant speed. Next, after the game start setting process, an external output signal (a medal IN signal indicating the number of medals used in the game) at the start of rotation is sent from a predetermined output port to external devices such as a call lamp, hall computer, and testing equipment. etc.) External signal processing (Sa9) is performed at the start of rotation.

Next, after the external signal processing at the start of rotation, reel stop processing (Sa10) is performed to control the reel stop. In the reel stop process, when navigation notification is to be performed, the game auxiliary display 12 is used to notify the operation mode according to the winning number. Furthermore, when all the reels that are rotating are rotating at a constant speed, acceptance of an operation to stop the reels that are rotating is enabled, and the system waits until the player performs an operation to stop the reels. Then, when a valid stop operation is detected for a reel for which a stop operation is enabled, reel stop control is performed to stop the reel for which a valid stop operation has been performed. Such reel stop control is repeatedly performed on the rotating reels to stop the rotation of all the reels, thereby completing the reel stop process.

Next, after the reel stop process, a winning search process (Sa11) 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 the presence or absence of a winning is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c.

Next, after the winning search process, a gaming machine information calculation process (Sa12) is performed to total the gaming history used when calculating the gaming machine information displayed on the gaming machine information display 50. The gaming machine information is the accessory payout ratio since the gaming machine was shipped (total number of medals paid out in the special gaming state since the gaming machine was shipped/total number of medals paid out since the gaming machine was shipped) , accessory payout ratio in a predetermined period (total number of medals paid out in a special gaming state in a predetermined period/total number of medals paid out in a predetermined period), medal payout rate after the gaming machine is shipped (after the gaming machine is shipped) (total number of medals paid out since the beginning of the game/total number of medals used since the gaming machine was shipped), medal payout rate in a predetermined period (total number of medals paid out in a given period/total number of medals used in a given period) In the game machine information calculation process, the game history used for these calculations is totaled, and game machine information is calculated based on the total results.

Next, a special game state end check process (Sa13) is performed. In the special game state end check process, it is determined whether the end condition is satisfied when the special game state is controlled. Next, a gaming state setting process (Sa14) is performed. In the game state setting process, the game state of the next game is set based on the winning data set by the winning search process and the result of the special game state end check process.

Next, at the timing when the game ends, a game end ball payout control process (Sa15) is performed to perform a process related to the game section and a process related to navigation notification. In the processing related to the gaming section, when the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied in the advantageous section, the process is performed to transition to the normal section, and in the process related to navigation notification, the process is carried out to transition from the normal state to the CZ state described later in the advantageous section. It performs processing related to transition, transition from CZ state to AT state, transition from CZ state or AT state to normal state, and management of AT state. In particular, in the advantageous section, a normal game number reduction lottery, a second AT lottery, and a first additional lottery, which will be described later, are performed depending on the internal lottery results and the advantageous section state.

Next, a game end command transmission process (Sa16) is performed to set a control state command group including a plurality of commands that can specify various control states at the end of one game in a command queue, and send the control state command group to the sub control unit 91. The data is sent sequentially.

Next, after the game end command transmission process, a payout process is performed to award the number of medals according to the winnings generated as a result of the game (Sa17). In the payout process, a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player according to the winnings that occur, and the number of medals to be given is added to the credits, and the credits are set to the upper limit (in this implementation). In the example, when the number reaches 50), the medals not added to the credits are paid out from the medal payout port 9.

Next, after the payout process, an external output signal (such as a medal OUT signal indicating the number of medals awarded) at the end of the game is output from a predetermined output port to external equipment such as a call lamp, hall computer, and testing device. External signal processing (Sa18) is performed at the end of the game.

Next, a game end setting process is performed (Sa19). In the game end setting process, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination of the replaying combination has stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and if the symbol combination of the replaying combination has stopped, it will be restarted in the next game. Processing for setting the number of bets for playing a game, processing for setting a replaying flag in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c, processing for controlling the replaying LED 20 to an ON state (lit state), etc. are performed.

Next, advantageous section end processing is performed (Sa20). In the advantageous section end processing, it is determined whether an advantageous section end flag indicating that the advantageous section is to be ended is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c, and if it is determined that the advantageous section end flag is set, An advantageous section data initialization process is performed to initialize a predetermined area in the storage area of the RAM 41c in which data related to control during an advantageous section is stored, and to terminate the advantageous section. As a result, when the section display LED 19 is in a lit state, it is turned off.

Next, after the advantageous section end processing, initialization processing (Sa21) is performed. In the initialization process, an area of the RAM 41c to be initialized in the game is set, and data stored in the set area is initialized. After the initialization process, the process returns to Sa1.

Thereafter, the processes Sa1 to Sa21 are repeated. When the main process completes one cycle, the process related to the control of one unit of game ends, and the main process is repeatedly executed for each unit of game.

[About the flow from normal section to AT state]
Next, a flow from when the main control unit 41 controls the vehicle from the normal section to the AT state will be described based on FIG. 10 .

The main control unit 41 causes the game to shift to the advantageous section from the next game when the advantageous section transition combination is won in an internal lottery in a game played within the normal section. In the advantageous section, control is carried out into a plurality of types of advantageous section states including a normal state, a precursor state, a CZ (chance zone) state, and an AT state.

The normal state is a state in which navigation notification is not performed, and is a relatively disadvantageous state for the player. The precursor state is a state that transitions after the end of the normal state and no navigation notification is performed, but it is a state that will definitely shift to the CZ state within 20 games after that, and in this respect it is more advantageous for the player than the normal state. It is in a state of The CZ state is a state that transitions after the end of the precursor state, a navigation notification is performed, and can transition to the AT state, and is a state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state and the precursor state. The AT state is a state in which navigation notification is performed for a long period of time, and is the most advantageous state for the player in an advantageous section.

The main control unit 41 performs a first AT lottery, a mode lottery, and a normal game number lottery when an advantageous section shift combination is won in the normal section and the game shifts to the advantageous section. In the first AT lottery, after the normal state, precursor state, and CZ state are completed, it is determined whether or not to transition to the AT state. When transitioning from the normal section to the advantageous section, there is a probability of approximately 1/10 that the AT state will be entered. The transition to will be elected. In the mode lottery, the normal mode to be controlled thereafter is determined. In the normal game number lottery, the number of normal games is determined from a plurality of game numbers according to the mode determined in the mode lottery.

There are three modes in the normal state: modes A to C. In mode A, the maximum number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 100 games, and the average value of the determined number of normal games is 50 games. In mode B, the maximum number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 200 games, and the average value of the determined number of normal games is 150 games. In mode C, the maximum number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 300 games, and the average value of the determined number of normal games is 200 games. In the normal state, in any mode, when the number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery reaches 0, the normal state ends and transitions to the precursor state.

When the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section, it first controls the vehicle to the normal state. The main control unit 41 subtracts 1 from the number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery for each game.

In addition to subtracting 1 from the number of normal games for each game, the main control unit 41 may also subtract a value won in a lottery to reduce the number of normal games from the number of normal games. There are three types of regular game number reduction lottery: normal game number reduction lottery (large), (medium), and (small). The normal number of games reduction lottery (large) is executed when strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and the value to be subtracted from the number of normal games is determined from 50 to 100, and the value is subtracted from the number of normal games. The average value is approximately 75. In the regular game number reduction lottery (medium), in the internal lottery in the normal state, specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 are won, and specific small winnings A and B are not won, but only one piece wins, i.e. Stop operation of the left reel at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific small winnings A and B (in this example, in an operation mode where the stop operation timing of the left reel is in the red 7 area (left red area) (stopping operation) is performed (hereinafter sometimes referred to as missing specific small roles A and B), the value to be subtracted from the number of normal games is determined from 10 to 50, and the number of normal games is determined. The average value subtracted from is approximately 20 games. The normal number of games reduction lottery (small) is executed when weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and the value to be subtracted from the number of normal games is determined from 1 to 15, and the value is subtracted from the number of normal games. The average value is approximately 5 games.

The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the number of normal games after subtraction has reached 0. If the number of normal games has reached 0, the main control unit 41 terminates the normal state and continues playing for a predetermined period (in this embodiment, 10 to 20 games). ) is controlled to a premonitory state.

In the precursor state, a second AT lottery or a first additional lottery may be executed. The second AT lottery is a lottery to determine whether to transition to the AT state after the end of the precursor state and the CZ state, if the transition to the AT state has not been won in the first AT lottery and the second AT lottery, There are three types of 2nd AT lottery: (high school), (middle school), and (small). The second AT lottery (high) is executed when strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, and the transition to the AT state is won with a probability of about 1/2. In the 2nd AT lottery (medium), in the internal lottery in the premonitory state, a specific small role A + 1 piece and a specific small role B + 1 piece are won, and the specific small role A and B are not won and 1 piece is won. This is executed when the minor winning combinations A and B are missed, and the probability of transitioning to the AT state is approximately 1/5. The second AT lottery (small) is executed when weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, and the transition to the AT state is won with a probability of about 1/10.

The first additional lottery in the precursor state adds the number of games controlled to the AT state to be transitioned to after the precursor state and the CZ state, if the transition to the AT state is won in the first and second AT lottery. This is a lottery to determine whether or not the lottery is successful, and there are three types: 1st additional lottery (high), (medium), and (low). The first additional lottery (high) is executed when strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, and the number of games controlled in the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/2. It has become. In the first additional lottery (medium), in the internal lottery in the premonitory state, specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 are won, and specific small winnings A and B are not won, but only one piece is won, i.e. This is executed when specific small winning combinations A and B are missed, and the number of games controlled to be in an AT state is added with a probability of about 1/5. The first additional lottery (low) is executed when weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, and the number of games controlled in the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/10. It has become.

When the premonitory state ends after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the main control unit 41 controls the game to be in the CZ state for 10 games.

In the CZ state, a third AT lottery or a second additional lottery may be executed. The 3rd AT lottery is a lottery to determine whether or not to transition to the AT state after the end of the CZ state, if the transition to the AT state has not been won in the 1st to 3rd AT lottery, and the 3rd AT lottery ( There are three types: (firm), (large), and (medium). The third AT lottery (confirmed) is executed when strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and the transition to the AT state is won with a 100% probability. The third AT lottery (high) is executed when weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and the transition to the AT state is won with a probability of about 1/2. The 3rd AT lottery (medium) is executed when a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and whether specific minor role A and B win or only one piece wins. Regardless of , there is a probability of approximately 1/5 that the transition to the AT state will be successful.

In the second additional drawing in the CZ state, if the transition to the AT state is won in the first to third AT drawings, whether or not to add the number of games controlled to the AT state to be transferred after the end of the CZ state. There are three types: second additional lottery (confirmed), (high), and (medium). The second additional lottery (confirmed) is executed when strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and the number of games controlled in the AT state is added with a 100% probability. There is. The second additional lottery (high) is executed when weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and the number of games controlled in the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/2. It has become. The second additional lottery (medium) is executed when specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and either specific small winnings A and B win, or one piece wins. Regardless of whether or not, the number of games controlled to be in the AT state is added to the probability of approximately 1/5.

If the transition to the AT state has not been won in any of the first to third AT drawings after 10 games have passed in the CZ state, the main control unit 41 refers to the number of remaining games in the advantageous section, If the remaining number of games in the advantageous section is 500 games or more, the first AT lottery, mode lottery, and normal game number lottery are performed again while the advantageous section continues, and the state is shifted to the normal state. In the first AT lottery in this case, there is a probability of approximately 1/3 that the transition to the AT state will be won. On the other hand, if the remaining number of games in the advantageous section is less than 500 games, the CZ state is ended, the advantageous section is ended, and the transition is made to the normal section. Then, after the advantageous section transition combination is won again to shift to the advantageous section, the first AT lottery, mode lottery, and normal game number lottery are performed again to shift to the normal state as described above.

If 10 games have passed in the CZ state and a transition to the AT state has been won in any of the first to third AT drawings, the main control unit 41 ends the CZ state and causes the transition to the AT state. .

When starting the AT state, the main control unit 41 determines an initial value of the number of games to be controlled in the AT state in the range of 50 to 300, and sets the determined number of games. Further, if the first bonus lottery in the precursor state or the second bonus lottery in the CZ state is won, the number of games won in the bonus lottery is added to the initial value and the AT state is started.

Further, in the AT state, a third additional lottery may be executed. The third additional lottery in the AT state is a lottery to determine whether or not to add the number of games controlled to the AT state, and there are three types: third additional lottery (high), (medium), and (low). be. The third additional lottery (high) is executed when strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the AT state, and the number of games controlled in the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/2. It has become. The third additional lottery (medium) is executed when weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the AT state, and the number of games controlled in the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/5. It has become. The third additional lottery (low) is executed when specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 are won in the internal lottery in the AT state, and either specific small winnings A and B win, or one piece wins. Regardless of whether the game is played or not, the number of games controlled to be in the AT state is added to the probability of about 1/10.

After the start of the AT state, the main control unit 41 determines that the end conditions for the AT state (the number of games controlled by the AT state becomes 0, and the advantageous period end conditions 1 and 2 are met) are satisfied. The AT state is ended, the advantageous section is ended, and the transition is made to the normal section.

As described above, in this embodiment, when a specific minor winning combination A+1 piece and a specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, the stop operation that becomes the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B is performed. By performing a stop operation of the left reel at the right timing (in this example, a stop operation in an operation mode in which the stop operation timing of the left reel is in the white 7 area (left white area)), specific small winning combinations A and B are won. You can receive 15 medals.

On the other hand, in the normal state, if a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery, the left hand will be left at the stop operation timing when the symbols constituting the specific minor role A and B are out of the pull-in range. By performing a reel stop operation (in this example, a stop operation in an operation mode in which the left reel stop operation timing is in the red 7 area (left red area)), you can win 1 without winning specific small winnings A and B. If you win a medal, the number of medals paid out will decrease, but in the normal state, the number of games won in the normal game number reduction lottery (medium) will be subtracted from the number of normal games, and the number of games required to move to the CZ state or AT state will be reduced. The number can be reduced.

In other words, when a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is within the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific minor role A and B. By winning specific small roles A and B, it is possible to receive 15 medals, which increases the medal payout rate (number of medals paid/number of medals used) in the normal state. Then, by performing a stop operation on the left reel at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific minor winnings A and B, and making one piece win without winning specific minor winnings A and B, the normal state Although the medal payout rate becomes lower, the number of games until the number of normal games becomes 0, that is, the number of games until the transition to the CZ state can be reduced.

Specifically, in this embodiment, if specific minor roles A and B are won each time specific minor roles A+1 and specific minor roles B+1 are won in the internal lottery, the number of regular games is reduced by the regular game number reduction lottery. Each game is shortened by an average of about 0.3 games, and each time a specified small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery, if the specified small role A and B are not won, the number of regular games will be reduced. As a result, the number of regular games is reduced by about 1.2 games per game on average. From this, the number of games required to reduce the number of normal games won in the normal game number lottery to 0 is that each time a specific small role A + 1 piece and a specific small role B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery, the specific small role A, If B is won, the number of games will be approximately 0.7 times the number of normal games won in the normal number of games lottery, and each time a special small role A + 1 piece and a specific small role B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery, 1 In the case that a winning ticket is won, the number of games required is about 0.5 times the number of normal games won in the normal game number lottery. For example, if 150 is won in the normal game number lottery, and if specific small roles A and B are won each time specific small role A + 1 piece and specific small role B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery, the normal number of games (150) The average number of games required to reach 0 is 110 games. On the other hand, if you win one piece every time you win a special small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece in the internal lottery, the average number of games required for the number of normal games (150) to become 0 is 70. It becomes a game. In this way, each time a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won in an internal lottery, the specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery, compared to a case where the specific small role A and B are won. If you do not win specific small winning combinations A and B each time a winning piece is won, you can end the normal state and move to the CZ state or AT state with fewer games, increasing the efficiency of playing the game. It is advantageous.

On the other hand, if you win specific small roles A and B every time you win specific small role A+1 and specific small role B+1 in the internal lottery, the medals required until the number of normal games (150) becomes 0 are Approximately 95 medals are required in addition to the medals paid out by winning each small prize and the grant of replays. On the other hand, if you do not win specific minor roles A and B each time a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery, by the time the number of normal games (150) becomes 0, Approximately 95 medals are required, in addition to the medals paid out by winning each small prize and the grant of replays. In this way, in the internal lottery in the normal state, there is a case where specific small roles A and B are won each time a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won, and a case where a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role are won in the internal lottery. In the case where specific small roles A and B are not won every time B + 1 is won, in addition to the medals paid out by winning each small role and replays, until the number of regular games is reduced to 0, Since the required number of medals is approximately the same, the player selects the operation mode that allows the player to win 1 medal when a specific minor winning combination A+1 medal and a specific minor winning combination B+1 medal are won in the normal state as described above. However, it is advantageous because the efficiency of playing the game increases, but when a specific small winning combination A+1 piece and a specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won in the normal state, it is possible to change the operation mode in which the player wins the specific small winning combination A and B. Even if you select the operation mode that allows you to win one medal, there is almost no difference in the long-term medal payout rate.

In addition, in the precursor state, if a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery, the left reel will stop at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific minor role A and B. By performing the operation (in this example, the stop operation in the operation mode where the stop operation timing of the left reel is in the red 7 area (left red area)), you can win one piece without winning the specific small winning combinations A and B. If you do so, the number of medals to be paid out will decrease, and the number of games until the transition to the CZ state will not be shortened, but the 2nd AT lottery (medium) or the 1st additional lottery (low) will be held, so in order to transition to the AT state. It is possible to increase the number of trials and the number of trials to add to the number of games controlled by the AT state.

In addition, even if a specific small role A+1 piece is won in the internal lottery, even if a specific small role B+1 piece is won, the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the left reel stop operation timing is in the white 7 area (left white area). By doing this, if the specified small role A+1 piece is won, the specific small role A will be won, and if the specific small role B+1 piece is won, the specific small role B will be won. By performing the stop operation in an operation mode where the stop operation timing is in the red 7 area (red area on the left), one piece will be won, and even if the specified small winning combination A + 1 piece is won, the special Even if the minor winning combination B+1 piece is won, the operation mode for winning specific small winning combinations A and B will be the same, and the operating mode for winning one piece without winning specific small winning combinations A and B will also be the same. .

In addition, as mentioned above, the range of red 7 areas and white 7 areas on the left reel is the range of 10 consecutive symbols, which is 1/2 of one revolution of the left reel, so specific small winning combination A + 1 piece , When a specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won, in 1/2 of the multiple operating modes, specific small winning combinations A and B will be won, and in 1/2 of the operating modes, 1 piece will be won. .

In addition, in this embodiment, specific small winning combinations A and B with different symbol combinations are provided as specific small winning combinations, and when specific small winning combination A+1 piece is won and a stop operation is performed in an operation mode that allows the specific small winning combination to win, A configuration in which specific small winning combination B is won when specific small winning combination A wins, specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won, and a stop operation is performed in an operation mode that allows the specific small winning combination to win, that is, multiple types of specific small winning combinations. However, there is only one type of specific small role, and when a specific small role is won and a stop operation is performed in an operation mode that allows the specific small role to be won, one specific small role is always won. Also good.

In addition, in this embodiment, if specific minor winnings A+1 and specific minor winnings B+1 are won, and specific minor winnings A and B are not won, one piece will always win, but the symbol combination It has different 1 piece A and 1 piece B, and if a specific minor prize + 1 piece A is won and the stop operation is performed in an operation mode that does not allow the specific minor prize to win, 1 piece A wins and the specific minor prize + 1 piece If B is won and a stop operation is performed in an operation mode that does not allow a specific minor win to win, one B will win, that is, there are multiple types of symbol combinations that are derived when the specific minor win is not won. It may also be used as a configuration.

In this embodiment, in the normal section, when specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 are won in the internal lottery, regardless of whether specific small winnings A and B are won or only one winning is made. First, the game shifts to an advantageous section, so in the normal section, if specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 are won in the internal lottery, it is more advantageous to win specific small winnings A and B.

In addition, in this embodiment, after the setting change state ends, when the normal gaming state (non-internal) and control is set to the normal section, in most cases, the advantageous section transition combination is won in 1 to 2 games, and the advantageous section shift combination is won in most cases. While moving to the advantageous section, it takes about 14 games to win the BB and shift to the normal gaming state (internal), and after moving to the advantageous section, during the period controlled to the normal state For a while, it will be controlled to the normal gaming state (non-internal). On the other hand, the constituent symbols of the BB on the left reel are "white 7", and the specific small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won, and the operation mode is to win one piece without winning the specific small winning combination A and B. (Operation mode where the left reel stop operation timing is red 7 area (left red area)) If you perform the stop operation, even if BB wins alone, BB wins and moves to a special gaming state. There is no need to worry. Therefore, in the normal state after the transition to the advantageous section, the player can win the specific small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece, and perform an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B are not won and only one piece is won. In other words, by playing the game in an operation mode that is highly efficient in playing the game, the BB can be It is possible to avoid being controlled to a specific gaming state as much as possible after winning a prize.

In this embodiment, in the CZ state and the AT state, if specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 are won in the internal lottery, even if specific small winnings A and B are won, the specific small winning combination A , even if B does not win, the common 3rd AT lottery (medium) or the common additional lottery (medium) will be executed in the CZ state, and the common additional lottery (low) will be executed in the AT state, so the CZ state In the AT state, when specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 are won, it is more advantageous to win specific small winnings A and B.

In addition, in this embodiment, in the normal state, specific small winning combinations A + 1 piece and specific small winning combination B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery, and if the specific small winning combination A and B are not won, it is weaker in the internal lottery. The advantage is higher than when chance replays A and B are won because the average value of winning values in the normal game number reduction lottery is larger. In addition, in the precursor state, if specific minor roles A+1 and specific minor roles B+1 were won in the internal lottery, and specific minor roles A and B were not won, weak chance replays A and B in the internal lottery would be better. The probability of winning the AT state in the second AT lottery is higher than in the case of winning, and the number of games controlled by the AT state in the first additional lottery is likely to be added, so the advantage becomes higher. On the other hand, in the CZ state, when weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, it is more likely that AT in the 3rd AT lottery will be won than if specific minor winning combinations A+1 and specific minor winnings B+1 are won in the internal lottery. The probability of winning the state is high, and the number of games controlled by the AT state is likely to be added in the second additional lottery, so the advantage becomes high. In addition, in the AT state, if weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, it is better to win AT in the third additional lottery than if special small winning combination A + 1 piece and specific small winning combination B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery. The advantage is high because the number of games controlled by the state is likely to be added.

In addition, in this embodiment, in the normal state, when strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, it is better to win the specific small role A+1 piece and the specific small role B+1 piece in the internal lottery, and the specific small role If A and B do not win, it is easier to end the normal state with fewer games because the average value of winnings in the normal game number reduction lottery is larger than if weak chance replay A and B win. Therefore, the advantage becomes high. In addition, in the foreshadowing state, if strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, specific minor roles A and B+1 pieces are won in the internal lottery, and specific minor roles A and B are won. If not, the probability of winning the AT state in the second AT lottery is higher than if weak chance replays A and B win, and it is advantageous because the number of games controlled by the AT state is likely to be added in the first additional lottery. The degree becomes higher. In addition, in the CZ state, if strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, it is better to win, and if specific small role A + 1 piece and specific small role B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery, weak chance replay A and B are won. The probability of winning the AT state in the third AT lottery is higher than that in the case where the AT state is won, and the number of games controlled by the AT state is likely to be added in the second additional lottery, so the advantage becomes higher. In addition, in the AT state, if strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, it is better to win the special small role A+1 piece and specific small role B+1 piece in the internal lottery, and weak chance replays A and B are won. The advantage is higher than in the case where the number of games controlled in the AT state is more likely to be added in the third additional lottery.

In addition, in this embodiment, in a precursor state that will transition to the CZ state within at least 20 games, if a specific small winning combination A+1 piece and a specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won, If weak chance replays A and B and strong chance replays A and B are won, but they were not won in either the 1st or 2nd AT lottery, the 2nd AT lottery will be held, and the 1st or 2nd AT lottery will be held. If you have won one of the lots, a first additional lottery will be held, and in a situation where the transition to the AT state has already been decided in the precursor state, the transition to the AT state has not been decided. If there is no such situation, even if the lottery condition that triggers the second AT lottery is satisfied, the fulfillment of the lottery condition will not be wasted. In particular, a selection in which specific minor roles A and B were won and specific minor roles A and B were not won, and specific minor roles A and B were not won even though the payout of 15 medals was not received. will not go to waste.

[About lottery flag rewriting process]
The main control unit 41 performs a normal game number reduction lottery, a second AT lottery, and a first additional lottery based on the value of the lottery flag 2. Specifically, when the value of lottery flag 2 is "0", the regular game reduction lottery, 2nd AT lottery, and 1st additional lottery are not performed, and when the value of lottery flag 2 is "1" to "3", In either case, a regular game number reduction lottery, a second AT lottery, and a first additional lottery are performed with a probability corresponding to the value of the lottery flag 2. In addition, when winning a specific small role A + 1 piece or a specific small role B + 1 piece, only if you win 1 piece without winning the specific small role A or B, the normal number of games reduction lottery, 2nd AT lottery, 1st additional lottery , and if you win specific minor prizes A and B, the regular game number reduction lottery, 2nd AT lottery, and 1st additional lottery will not be held, so you will win specific minor prizes A + 1 piece and specific minor prize B + 1 piece. Sometimes, it is necessary to specify whether specific small winning combinations A and B have won a prize, or whether one piece has won a prize. On the other hand, in the lottery flag 2, which is set according to the internal lottery result (winning number), if a specific minor role A + 1 piece and a specific minor role B + 1 piece are won, whether the specific minor role A or B won or not, Since it is not possible to determine whether one piece has won a prize or not, after all reels have stopped, the lottery flag is set as necessary so that it can be determined whether specific small winning combinations A and B have won a prize or one piece has won a prize. 2 needs to be rewritten. For this reason, the main control unit 41 sets the value of the lottery flag 2 to "3" when the specific small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won, and after all the reels stop, one piece wins. In this case, while maintaining the value ``3'' of lottery flag 2, if specific small roles A and B win, the value ``3'' of lottery flag 2 is rewritten to ``0'', and the normal game A lottery flag rewriting process is performed to exclude the lottery from the number reduction lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery.

FIG. 11A is a flowchart showing the control details of the lottery flag rewriting process performed by the main control unit 41 after all reels are stopped in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 11(a), in the lottery flag rewriting process, the main control unit 41 first determines whether or not the specific small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece have been won (Sb1).

If it is determined in Sb1 that specific minor winning combinations A+1 and specific minor winnings B+1 have been won, the number of medals to be paid out is obtained, and it is determined whether the number of medals to be paid out is 15. (Sb2).

If it is determined in Sb2 that the number of medals to be paid out is 15, that is, if either specific small role A or B wins, the value "3" of lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0", and the lottery starts. end the flag rewriting process and return to the original process.

Further, when it is determined in Sb1 that the specific small winning combinations A and B have not been won, the lottery flag rewriting process is ended and the original process is returned to without rewriting the value of the lottery flag 2.

Furthermore, if it is determined in Sb2 that the number of medals to be paid out is not 15, that is, if one medal is won without specific small winning combinations A and B, the value of lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "3". Therefore, the lottery flag rewriting process is ended and the original process is resumed.

In this way, when a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery, "3" is set as the value of the lottery flag 2, and either the specific small role A or B is won. If a prize is won, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0" by the lottery flag rewriting process, so that the regular game number reduction lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are not performed. On the other hand, if specific small winning combinations A and B do not win and only one piece wins, the value "3" of lottery flag 2 is not rewritten and is maintained by the lottery flag rewriting process, so the number of regular games is reduced. , the 2nd AT lottery, and the 1st additional lottery will be held.

In addition, if a special small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery, "3" is set as the value of lottery flag 2, and either specific small role A or B wins. In this case, the value "3" of lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0" by the lottery flag rewriting process performed after all reels are stopped, and the lottery is not eligible for the regular game number reduction lottery, 2nd AT lottery, and 1st additional lottery. Since the value of lottery flag 2 is set to "3" at the start of the game, if the value of lottery flag 2 is "3" at the start of the game, , 3rd AT lottery, 2nd addition, which specifies that specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 are won, and is held regardless of whether specific small winnings A and B win or 1 piece wins. It becomes possible to hold a lottery and a third additional lottery. In other words, if a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won, the common lottery flag 2 will be used to win regardless of whether specific minor role A, B or one piece wins. It is possible to specify both whether or not to conduct a lottery in which , and whether or not to conduct a lottery in which only one of the specific small winning combinations A and B wins without winning a prize.

In addition, in the lottery flag rewriting process, it is determined whether or not a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won, and if a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won, a payout is made. By determining whether the number of coins is 15 coins when specific small winning combinations A and B are won, and if it is determined that the number of coins paid out is not 15 coins, by maintaining the value "3" of lottery flag 2. , Since the regular game number reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, and the 1st additional lottery are held, it is necessary to identify the symbol combination that stopped on the reels when winning a specific minor role A + 1 piece or a specific minor role B + 1 piece. It is possible to specify whether specific small winning combinations A and B have won or whether specific small winning combinations A and B have not won and one piece has won. In particular, as in the present embodiment, when multiple types of specific minor winnings with a payout number of 15 coins are provided, specific minor winnings A, It becomes possible to determine whether or not B has won a prize.

[About modification of lottery flag rewriting process]
FIG. 11(b) is a flowchart showing control details of a modification of the lottery flag rewriting process performed by the main control unit 41 after all reels are stopped in this embodiment.

In addition, in a modified example of the lottery flag rewriting process, if specific small winning combination A + 1 piece and specific small winning combination B + 1 piece are won, and specific small winning combinations A and B are not won, one piece will definitely win, and It is assumed that one piece does not win other than when the small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won. In addition, it is equipped with a lottery flag N, and the value of the lottery flag N is "1" when weak chance replays A and B are won, "2" when strong chance replays A and B are won, specific small role A + 1 piece, specific If "0" is set when winning the minor role B + 1 piece, and the value of the lottery flag N is "0", the regular game number reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, and the 1st additional lottery are not performed, and the lottery flag N is set. When the value of is one of "1" to "3", the regular game number reduction lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are performed with a probability corresponding to the value of the lottery flag N.

As shown in FIG. 11(b), in a modification of the lottery flag rewriting process, the main control unit 41 first determines whether one symbol combination has stopped (Sc1).

If it is determined that one symbol combination has stopped in Sc1, that is, if one symbol combination has been won without specific small winning combinations A and B, the value of the lottery flag N is changed to "0" and "3". The rewriting and lottery flag rewriting processing is completed and the original processing is resumed.

If it is determined in Sc1 that one symbol combination has not stopped, the lottery flag rewriting process is ended and the original process is returned to without rewriting the value of the lottery flag 2.

In this modified example of the lottery flag rewriting process, if specific small winning combinations A+1 pieces and specific small winning combinations B+1 piece are won, and specific small winning combinations A and B are not won, one piece will definitely win, and In a configuration in which 1 piece does not win except when specific small role A + 1 piece and specific small role B + 1 piece are won, it is determined whether or not 1 symbol combination has stopped, and it is determined that 1 symbol combination has stopped. In this case, by rewriting the value "0" of the lottery flag N to "3", the regular game number reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, and the 1st additional lottery are performed, so the specified small role A+1 When a special small role B + 1 piece is won, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, it is only determined whether the symbol combination stopped on the reel is a single symbol combination. When the combination B+1 piece is won, it can be specified that the specific small combinations A and B are not won and only one piece is won. In addition, if the specific minor role A+1 piece and the specific minor role B+1 piece are won, and the specific minor role A and B are not won, the unique symbol combinations will stop, so the regular game number reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, It can be made to recognize that the first additional lottery may be held.

[About Navi Hochi (Navi production) and specific small role winning productions]
Next, navigation notification (navigation performance) and specific small role winning performance will be explained based on FIGS. 12 and 13.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the game section is an advantageous section and the advantageous section state is the normal state and the precursor state, if the navigation small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification. The sub-control unit 91 also does not execute the navigation effect. In addition, when the game section is an advantageous section and the advantageous section state is the CZ state or the AT state, if the navigation small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the main control section 41 executes navigation notification, and the sub control section 91 executes navigation performance.

In addition, when the game section is an advantageous section and the advantageous section state is a normal state or a sign state, that is, when a navigation notification is not performed when a navigation minor prize is won, a specific minor prize A + 1 is given in the internal lottery. If either the special small winning combination B+1 piece is won, the main control unit 41 does not execute the navigation notification, and the sub control unit 91 also does not execute the navigation performance. In addition, when the game section is an advantageous section and the advantageous section state is CZ state and AT state, that is, when the navigation notification is performed when the navigation minor prize is won, the specific minor prize A + 1 piece in the internal lottery , specific small winning combination B+1 is won, the main control unit 41 executes navigation notification, and the sub control unit 91 executes navigation performance.

As mentioned above, in the CZ state and the AT state, if specific small winning combinations A+1 pieces and specific small winning combinations B+1 piece are won, it is more advantageous to win specific small winning combinations A and B. In addition, the operation mode for winning specific minor roles A and B when specific minor roles A+1 and specific minor roles B+1 is won is the operation mode for winning the main minor role when some navigation minor roles are won. include. Therefore, in the CZ state and AT state where navigation notification is performed when a navigation minor prize is won, the sub control unit 91 controls whether the navigation minor prize is won when a specific minor prize A+1 piece and a specific minor prize B+1 piece are won. By executing the navigation performance that is the same as when winning, the operation mode for winning specific minor prizes A and B is announced, and in the CZ state and AT state, the specific minor prize When A+1 piece and specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won, it is possible to prompt the player to perform a stop operation in an operation mode that makes the specific small winning combination A and B win, without making the player conscious.

The sub-control unit 91 is capable of executing a specific minor role winning effect when the main minor role, specific minor role A, and specific minor role B that involve the payout of 15 medals are won. As shown in FIG. 12, the sub-control unit 91 controls the specific minor prize when the navigation minor prize is won and the main minor prize is won in the internal lottery, regardless of which game section or which advantageous section state it is in. Execute the winning performance. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether either the specific small winning combination A+1 piece or the specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won in the internal lottery when the advantageous section state is the normal state or the precursor state among the normal section and the advantageous section. If specific small roles A and B win, the specific small role winning presentation will not be executed, and if the advantageous section state is the CZ state or AT state, that is, specific small role A + 1 piece, specific small role B + 1 piece. If a special small role A+1 piece or a specific small role B+1 piece is won and the specific small role A or B is won, if the navigation notification and navigation performance are executed when a special small role A or B is won. executes the specific minor role winning effect in the same manner as when the navigation minor role is won and the main minor role is won in the CZ state and the AT state.

As mentioned above, in this embodiment, in the CZ state and the AT state, if either the specific small winning combination A+1 piece or the specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won, the navigation notification and the The navigation performance is executed, and in this situation, either the specific small role A+1 piece or the specific small role B+1 piece is won, the navigation notification and the navigation performance are executed, and the specific small role A, If B wins and the same 15 pieces as the main and minor roles are paid out, the specific minor role winning performance will be executed in the same presentation mode as when the main and minor roles win, so the CZ state and AT state When specific minor prizes A and B are won and 15 medals are paid out, this fact can be reported without any discomfort, and the data capacity required for the specific minor prize winning performance can be reduced.

On the other hand, in the normal state and the omen state, if either the specific small winning combination A+1 piece or the specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won, but if the specific small winning combination A or B is not won and one piece is won, There is a possibility that a regular game number reduction lottery, a second AT lottery, or a first additional lottery will be held, and it is not necessarily advantageous to win specific small winning combinations A and B. For this reason, in this embodiment, in the normal state and the sign state, if either the specific small winning combination A+1 piece or the specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won, the specific small winning combination A or B wins and the 15 medals are awarded. Even if it is accompanied by awarding, the special small role winning presentation is not executed, and if a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won in the normal state and the precursor state, the specific small role A and B are won. It is possible to prevent the player from misperceiving that the advantage is higher in the case of winning a prize than in the case that one of the specific small winning combinations A and B does not win.

In addition, as mentioned above, in the normal section, if either the specific small role A+1 piece or the specific small role B+1 piece is won, the person who won the specific small role A or B wins the specific small role A or B. It will be more advantageous than if you win one ticket without winning, but as in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, even if you win a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece, the navigation notification and navigation effect will not work. In the normal section where the situation is similar to the normal state and the precursor state, if either the specified small role A+1 piece or the specific small role B+1 piece is won, the specified small role A or B will be won. Even if 15 medals are awarded, the special small role winning effect will not be executed, and if a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won in the normal state or premonitory state, It is possible to prevent the player from misperceiving that the advantage for the player is higher when specific small winnings A and B win than when one piece wins without specific small winnings A and B. .

[About general role suggestion direction]
Next, the general role suggestion performance will be explained. As shown in FIG. 13, the sub-control unit 91 controls the winning of the general winning combination when the game section on the side of the main control section 41 is a normal section or an advantageous section and the advantageous section state is a normal state or a precursor state. It is now possible to perform general role suggestive performances that suggest. In the general role suggestion effect, the color of the image or character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the color of the area surrounding the reels in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, or the emitted color of the effect LED 57, By setting the color corresponding to the winning general prize, it is suggested that the corresponding general prize has won.

In this example, normal replays A to C are blue, navigation minor roles are yellow, strong and weak chance replays A are red, strong and weak chance replays B are green, specific minor role A + 1 piece, specific minor role B + 1 piece, 1 Each sheet corresponds to the color white.

In addition, the general role suggestion effect is when the game is started (at the start operation), when the reels first stop (at the first stop), when the reels stop second (at the second stop), and when the reels stop at the second time (at the second stop). It is executed at any timing when the reels stop for the third time (at the third stop).

If normal replays A to C are won in the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 executes a general role suggestion effect with a probability of 50%, and in that case, the sub control unit 91 executes a general role suggestion effect at either the start operation or the first stop. At this timing, a general role suggestive performance is performed in blue.

In addition, when the navigation minor winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 controls the general lottery with a 50% probability when the stop operation is performed in an operation mode that allows the winning navigation minor winning combination to win. In addition to executing a role suggestion performance, in that case, a general role suggestion performance in yellow is executed at either timing of the second stop or third stop.

Further, if strong chance replay A or weak chance replay A is won in the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 executes a general role suggestion performance with a 100% probability, and in that case, at the time of the start operation, A general role suggestion performance in red is performed at any timing of the first stop, the second stop, or the third stop.

Furthermore, if strong chance replay B or weak chance replay B is won in the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 executes a general role suggestion performance with a 100% probability, and in that case, at the time of the start operation, A general role suggestion performance in green is performed at any timing of the first stop, the second stop, or the third stop.

In addition, when the specific minor role A+1 piece and the specific minor role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 executes the general role suggestion performance with a 100% probability, and in that case, the start operation At the right timing, perform a general role suggestion performance in white.

As described above, in this embodiment, if specific minor winning combinations A+1 and specific minor winnings B+1 are won in the normal state and the precursor state, will the specific minor winnings A and B be won and 15 medals will be obtained? , select whether to shorten the number of regular games by drawing a lottery to shorten the number of regular games by not winning specific minor prizes A and B and letting one win, or to obtain an opportunity for the 2nd AT lottery or the 1st additional lottery. is possible. In this embodiment, in this embodiment, the general role suggestion effect that suggests the winning of the general role is executed using the color corresponding to the won general role, thereby suggesting the won general role and also indicating the specific small role. In the event that hand A + 1 piece and specific small role B + 1 piece are won, when performing the general role suggestion effect, normal replay A to C, navigation small role, strong chance replay A, weak chance replay A, strong chance replay B , Since the general role suggestion effect is performed in white, which is different from the color corresponding to weak chance replay B, when the general role suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to distinguish it from the winning of other roles. Yes, if a specific minor role A + 1 piece and a specific minor role B + 1 piece are won in the normal state and the omen state, you can win 15 medals by winning the specific minor role A and B, or you can win 15 medals by winning the specific minor role A and B. It becomes easy to select whether to shorten the number of normal games through a normal game number reduction lottery by allowing one piece to win without winning a prize, or to obtain an opportunity for a second AT lottery or a first additional lottery.

In addition, in the general role suggestion production that suggests winning of normal replays A to C, navigation small role, strong chance replay A, weak chance replay A, strong chance replay B, and weak chance replay B, at the start of the game and at the first stop. , the general role suggestion performance is executed at either the second stop or the third stop, but if a specific minor role A+1 piece or a specific minor role B+1 piece is won, the start operation is always performed. In other words, at the timing before the stop operation becomes effective, a general role suggestion effect that suggests the winning of specific small role A + 1 piece and specific small role B + 1 piece is executed. You can either win 15 medals by winning small roles A and B, or shorten the number of regular games by drawing a lottery to reduce the number of regular games by not winning specific minor roles A and B and win one medal. You can choose whether you want to get a chance for the 2AT lottery or the first additional lottery.

In addition, when normal replays A to C and Navi minor roles are won, a general role winning suggestion performance will be executed with a 50% probability, and even if normal replays A to C and Navi minor roles are won, a general role winning suggestion performance will be executed. However, if a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won, a general role suggestion production that suggests the winning of a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece is always executed. In the normal state and the premonitory state, if a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won, this can be recognized without fail, and the specific minor role A and B can be won. to win 15 medals, or to shorten the number of regular games by a lottery to shorten the number of regular games by not winning specific minor prizes A and B and win one medal, or to shorten the number of regular games by drawing a lottery to reduce the number of regular games, or by drawing 2nd AT lottery or 1st additional lottery. You can get the opportunity or choose.

In addition, even when one piece is won, the same white general role suggestion effect as when a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won, It is possible to increase the chances that it is suggested that the small role B + 1 piece has been won, and even if the specified small role A + 1 piece, the specific small role B + 1 piece, or 1 piece has been won, the specific small role If the stop operation is performed in such a manner that only one piece wins without winning hands A and B, one piece will win in both cases, so a white general role suggestion effect will be executed, and one piece will win. When winning a prize, the number of regular games can be shortened through a lottery to reduce the number of regular games, or the player can expect to have an opportunity for the first additional lottery.

In addition, as mentioned above, in the normal section, if a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won, the person who wins the specific small role A and B is the one who wins the specific small role A and B. It is more advantageous than if you win 1 piece, but even if you win a specific small role A + 1 piece and a specific small role B + 1 piece in the normal section, you will win a specific small role A + 1 piece in the normal state and the omen state of the advantageous section. , Even if a specific small role B + 1 piece is won, a common general role suggestion effect is executed, and the liquid crystal display shows whether it is a normal section, a normal state of an advantageous section, or a precursor state. It can only be identified by turning on/off the section display LED 19, which is less noticeable compared to production devices such as 51, and it is difficult to identify whether it is a normal section, a normal state in an advantageous section, or a precursor state. Therefore, in the normal state or the omen state in the advantageous section, the specific minor winnings A and B are not allowed to win and one piece is entered into the prize to shorten the number of regular games by the regular game number reduction lottery, or to obtain the opportunity for the first additional lottery. The degree of advantage can be determined by whether or not the player who has selected the operating mode has been able to identify the normal section.

[About the shortened number of regular games]
Next, the normal game number reduction effect will be explained. The sub-control unit 91 causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display the number of games played since the start of the normal state in the normal state and the precursor state, and also causes the strong chance replays A and B and the weak chance replays A and B to win in the normal state. If a normal number of games shortening lottery is held, a special small role A + 1 piece and a specific small role B + 1 piece are won, and the special small role A and B are not won, but 1 piece is won, and the normal number of games shortened lottery is held. When the number of games is played, the number of shortened games is displayed on a liquid crystal display 51, and then a normal game number shortening performance is performed in which the shortened number of games is added to the number of games since the start of the normal state.

In addition, if strong chance replays A and B and weak chance replays A and B are won in the omen state, specific small role A + 1 piece, specific small role B + 1 piece will be won, and specific small role A and B will not be won and 1 piece will be won. , the normal number of games shortening lottery is not performed, but the sub-control unit 91 controls the special small winning combination A+1 when strong chance replays A and B and weak chance replays A and B are won in the precursor state. Even when a specific minor winning combination B+1 is won and one winning is made without winning the specific minor winnings A and B, the normal game number reduction performance is executed.

In this case, if strong chance replays A and B and weak chance replays A and B are won in the omen state, specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 will be won, and specific small winnings A and B will be won. The number of shortened games to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is determined according to the results of the second AT lottery and the first additional lottery, which are held when one winning ticket is won, and the determined number of shortened games is displayed on the liquid crystal display. 51, a normal game number shortening effect is performed in which the shortened game number is added to the number of games since the start of the normal state. At this time, if the second AT lottery is held, a larger number of shortened games is likely to be determined if the AT state is won than if the AT state is not won, and if the first additional lottery is held, , it is easier to determine a larger number of shortened games if you win the add-on than if you do not win the add-on, and if a large shortened number of games is displayed in the normal number of games reduction effect, the number of shortened games will be determined in the normal state. Regardless of whether there is a situation or a precursory state, a situation advantageous to the player is suggested.

[About the omen performance]
Next, the performance execution status in the advantageous section state will be explained based on FIG. 14. The main control section 41 transmits a state command that can specify the state of the next game to the sub control section 91 when the game ends. The state command can specify whether the advantageous section state of the next game is a normal state, a precursor state, a CZ state, or an AT state. In addition, if it is in a normal state, the number of normal games can be specified, and if it is in a precursory state, it is possible to identify the number of remaining games in the precursory state.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the main control unit 41 side is identified as being in the normal state from the state command, the sub-control unit 91 executes the normal effect corresponding to the normal state.

As shown in FIG. 14(a), when the main control unit 41 side identifies the transition from the normal state to the precursor state based on the state command, the sub-control unit 91 ends the normal performance and creates a production mode different from the normal performance. Start the omen performance. Further, when it is specified from the state command that the number of remaining games in the precursor state is 3 games, the precursor effect is ended and a CZ suggestion effect suggesting transition to the CZ state is started. After that, when it is determined from the state command that the number of remaining games in the precursor state has become 0 games, the next game is started after notifying the transition to the CZ state, and the transition from the precursor state to the CZ state , the CZ suggestion performance is ended and the CZ performance corresponding to the CZ state is started.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14(b), when the sub-control unit 91 determines from the status command that the main control unit 41 side is in the normal state and the number of normal games has reached the predetermined number of games, the sub-control unit 91 generates a precursor effect. Decide whether to execute or not. The predetermined number of games is the number of games that is likely to be won in the normal game number lottery, the maximum value that can be won in the normal game number lottery in modes A and B, and the number of games that is likely to end the normal state. Then, when the sub-control unit 91 determines to execute the omen effect, it ends the normal effect and starts the omen effect. Further, the sub-control unit 91 receives a command from the state command for a period (in this example, 7 When it is determined that 17 games have passed, the foreshadowing effect is ended and the CZ suggestion effect is started. After that, when it is determined that 3 games have passed since the start of the foreshadowing effect from the state command, it is notified that the transition to the CZ state will not occur, and the next game is started, ending the CZ suggestion effect and returning to the normal effect. Start.

As described above, in this embodiment, while the foreshadowing performance is always executed in the foreshadowing state, the foreshadowing performance may also be executed in the normal state, and by executing the foreshadowing performance, the foreshadowing state is controlled. Since it is suggested that there is a possibility that the game is in the CZ state, it is possible to expect that the state is a precursor state, that is, a state that will transition to the CZ state within 20 games.

In addition, in the normal state, the foreshadowing effect is executed when the normal state ends and the number of games with a high probability of transitioning to the omen state is reached. You can give hope that there is a high possibility.

In addition, as mentioned above, if a special small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won in the premonitory state, and the specific small role A and B are not won, the normal game number reduction lottery will not be held. , because the 2nd AT lottery or the 1st additional lottery is held, a precursor effect is executed, and even in a situation where the possibility of a precursor state is suggested, specific small roles A and B are not won and one piece is taken. It is possible to prompt the player to select an operation mode for winning a prize.

[About the game auxiliary display]
Next, the configuration and display mode of the game auxiliary display 12 will be explained based on FIGS. 15 and 16.

As shown in FIG. 15(a), the game auxiliary 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. It consists of two indicators 12L and 12R that can turn on and off the G and 8th segment DP, respectively, and the main control unit 41 sets display data for each of the indicators 12L and 12R. This is a display that can display various information by turning on or off the 8 segments A to DP.

As shown in FIG. 15(b), the display data is composed of 8-bit data, in which 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, and the value of the 1st bit is the The value of the 0th bit of the seventh segment G corresponds to the eighth segment DP. A segment is controlled to be in a non-lit state when the value of the corresponding bit is 0, and controlled to be in a lit state when the value of the corresponding bit is 1.

As shown in FIG. 15(c), when displaying a display value on each display 12L, 12R of the auxiliary display 12, the main control unit 41 first converts the display value into display data for each display 12L, 12R. Convert and set the display data in the output buffer of the corresponding display device 12L, 12R, and then output a turn on/off signal based on the display data from the output port to each display device 12L, 12R by port output processing in the timer interrupt processing. The display values are displayed on each of the indicators 12L and 12R of the auxiliary display 12 by turning on or off the first to eighth segments A to DP of each of the indicators 12L and 12R. For example, when displaying "1" as the display value on the display 12L, convert the display value "1" to display data "01100000" and set "01100000" in the output buffer of the display 12L. However, by outputting the lighting/lighting out signals corresponding to the first to eighth segments A to DP of the display device 12L from the output port to the display device 12L through port output processing in the timer interrupt processing, “1” is set in the display data. The second and third segments B and C of the display device 12L corresponding to the set 6th bit and 5th bit are turned on, and the 7th bit and 4th to 0th bits set to "0" in the display data are turned on. The first segment A and the fourth to eighth segments D to DP of the display 12L corresponding to the above are turned off, and "1" is displayed on the display 12L.

In this way, the main control unit 41 controls the plurality of segments of each display 12L, 12R to be in a lighting state or a non-lighting state, so that predetermined numbers ("0" to "9") and symbols are displayed as display values. Various information can be displayed by displaying one or two digits (for example, "-", ".", etc.) or alphabetic characters (for example, "E", etc.). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, the number of medals to be paid out (0 to 15), the navigation notification (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode, and the error code (E1 to E1) that can identify the type of error that has occurred. E8), it is possible to display a setting code (--) that can identify the setting change state.

[About the display status of the game auxiliary display]
Next, the display status of the game auxiliary display 12 will be explained based on FIGS. 17 to 22.

As shown in FIG. 17, the main control unit 41 initializes the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R when medals are inserted into the medal insertion unit 4 or the number of bets is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6. , sets the game auxiliary display 12 to a non-display state.

As shown in FIG. 17(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 stop. , and when the third stop operation is turned OFF, if a minor prize is won and a medal is awarded, the number of paid out coins awarded due to the winning of the minor prize is acquired, and the acquired number of paid out coins is displayed on the display 12L. , 12R, and set it in the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R, thereby displaying the number of payout coins (1 to 15) on the game auxiliary display device 12. Thereafter, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of coins to be paid out even after the end of the game until the number of bets for the next game is set, and when the number of bets for the next game is set, the display as described above By initializing the output buffers 12L and 12R and putting the game auxiliary display 12 into a non-display state, the display of the number of coins paid out in the previous game is ended. Incidentally, when all the reels are stopped, no small winning combination is won, and no medals are awarded, the non-display state of the game auxiliary display 12 continues.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17(b), when the start switch 7 is operated and the navigation notification is performed, the main control unit 41 starts rotating the reels, then the reels rotate at a constant speed and a stop operation is not performed. At the activation timing, the number indicating the operation mode is converted into display data for each display 12L, 12R, and set in the output buffer of the display 12L, 12R, so that the number indicating the operation mode is displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12. Display (1 to 13). After that, when all the reels stop and the third stop operation is turned off, the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are initialized, and the gaming auxiliary display device 12 is put into a non-display state, thereby ending the navigation display. let Furthermore, if a minor prize is won and a medal is awarded, after a predetermined waiting period has passed, the number of paid out coins awarded due to the winning of the minor prize is acquired, and the acquired number of paid out coins is displayed on each display 12L, 12R. By converting it into display data and setting it in the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R, the number of payout coins (1 to 15) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. Thereafter, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of coins to be paid out even after the end of the game until the number of bets for the next game is set, and when the number of bets for the next game is set, the display as described above By initializing the output buffers 12L and 12R and putting the game auxiliary display 12 into a non-display state, the display of the number of coins paid out in the previous game is ended. Incidentally, when all the reels are stopped, no small winning combination is won, and no medals are awarded, the non-display state of the game auxiliary display 12 continues.

As shown in FIG. 18, when the main control unit 41 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, it sets an error flag corresponding to the error type of the detected abnormality in the error flag setting area of the RAM 41c, and prevents the game from proceeding. The error code (E1 to E8) is displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 by controlling the error state and converting the error code indicating the error type into display data for each display 12L and 12R and setting it in the output buffer. let After that, when a reset operation is performed using the reset switch 23 or the reset/setting switch 38, the error state is canceled by clearing the error flag and the game can be continued, and the display 12L, 12R The display of the error code is ended by initializing the output buffer of and putting the game auxiliary display 12 into a non-display state.

As shown in FIG. 19, the main control unit 41 continues to display the payout number (1 to 15) on the game auxiliary display 12 after a small winning combination is won, and after the power supply is stopped. When the setting key switch 37 detects the ON state when power supply is resumed, a gaming state flag indicating that the setting is being changed is set in a gaming state flag setting area different from the above-mentioned error flag setting area in the RAM 41c, and the setting is changed. At the same time as transitioning to the change state, a setting code that can identify the setting change state is converted into display data for each display 12L, 12R, and set in the output buffer of the display 12L, 12R, thereby changing the game auxiliary display. Display the setting code (--) on the device 12. After that, when the setting value is confirmed and the main control unit 41 detects that the setting key switch 37 is in the OFF state, the main control unit 41 changes the gaming state flag indicating that the setting is being changed, which is set in the gaming state flag setting area of the RAM 41c, to the normal gaming state ( The setting change state is terminated by changing the gaming state flag to indicate "non-internal", and the game state is changed to the normal gaming state (non-internal), and the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are initialized. The auxiliary display 12 is put into a non-display state.

If 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 has been stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply was stopped, Based on the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L, it is determined whether an error code or setting code was displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 before the power supply was stopped, and the power supply is stopped. If it is determined that the error code or setting code is not displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 before starting, the gaming auxiliary display 12 is set to 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 setting code was displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 before the power supply stopped, by maintaining the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R, The error code or setting code displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is displayed.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 20, the main control unit 41 causes the game auxiliary display 12 to continue displaying the number of payout coins (1 to 15) after the end of the game, that is, 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 game returns to the state after the end of the game before the power supply was stopped. When returning, the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are initialized to put the game auxiliary display device 12 into a non-display state.

Although not particularly shown, the main control unit 41 is in the process of executing navigation notification, and the power supply is stopped while the number (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. After that, if the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the power supply is restarted, and if you want to return to the state where the navigation notification was being executed before the power supply was stopped, the display units 12L and 12R. By initializing the output buffer, the game auxiliary display 12 is put into a non-display state. In this case, after the reel rotation resumes, the main control unit 41 converts the number indicating the operation mode into display data and displays the display 12L again at the timing when the reel rotates at a constant speed and the stop operation is enabled. By setting in the output buffer of 12R, numbers (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode are displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the main control unit 41 is in an error state and the power supply is stopped while the error code (E1 to E8) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. If the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the power supply is resumed, and the error state before the power supply is stopped is restored, the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are maintained. The error code displayed before supply is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

Further, as shown in FIG. 22, the main control unit 41 is in the setting change state and the setting code (--) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and after the power supply is stopped, the main control unit 41 If the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when power supply is resumed, and the setting change state before the power supply is stopped is to be restored, by maintaining the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R, The setting code displayed before power supply is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

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 has been stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply was stopped. In addition, if the auxiliary game display 12 continues to display the number of coins to be paid out, that is, the result of the game when the power supply is stopped, the auxiliary game display 12 is disabled when the power supply is resumed. Display state. As a result, if the power supply stops while the gaming auxiliary display 12 continues to display the number of coins to be paid out, and then the power supply starts and the setting change state is entered and the set value is set. Even if the power supply starts and does not shift to the setting change state and returns to the control state before the power supply stopped, the game auxiliary display 12 will be in the non-display state in both cases. This makes it impossible to guess whether or not the setting value has been changed. At this time, the number of coins to be paid out before the power supply is stopped is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and even if the number of coins to be paid out is hidden after the power supply is resumed, the number of coins to be paid out is still the same as before the power supply was stopped. This will not affect the game after the power supply 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 has been stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply was stopped, , if the game is in an error state or settings change state where the game cannot proceed when the power supply is stopped, and an error code indicating the error state or a setting code indicating the settings change state is displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12. By displaying the error code and setting code that were displayed before the power supply was stopped on the game auxiliary display 12 when the power supply is resumed, the game progress can be adjusted when the power supply is resumed. It is now possible to identify situations where it is not possible.

[About initialization determination of gaming 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, it is determined whether an error code or a setting code was displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 before the power supply was stopped, based on the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L, Based on the determination result, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are initialized and the gaming auxiliary display 12 is set to a non-display state, or the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained and the gaming auxiliary display 12 is Decide whether to maintain the display state.

The payout number displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is a value of 1 to 15, and the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the value in the tens place of the game auxiliary display 12 indicates that the displayed value is Any value from 1 to 13 results in a non-lighting state. Further, the numbers indicating the operation modes displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 have values from 1 to 13, and in this case as well, the 7th number of the display 12L corresponding to the value in the tens place of the game auxiliary display 12 Segment G is in a non-lighted state regardless of the displayed value from 1 to 13. On the other hand, the error codes displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 are E1 to E8, and the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the value in the tens place of the gaming auxiliary display 12 indicates that the displayed value is The light is turned on regardless of the value of E1 to E8. In addition, the setting code displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is --, and in this case as well, the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the value in the tens place of the game auxiliary display 12 is in the lighting state. Become. Therefore, depending on whether the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the value in the tens place of the gaming auxiliary display 12 is lit or not, an error code is displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12. Or, the setting code is displayed, or the error code or setting code is not displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 (the number of coins to be paid out is displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12, the operation mode is It becomes possible to identify whether the number is displayed (displayed or hidden).

Then, 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 has been stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply was stopped. , before the power supply is stopped by determining whether the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the value in the tens place of the gaming auxiliary display 12 is in a non-lit state or a lit state. It is determined whether an error code or a setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23(a), the main control unit 41 displays the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L corresponding to the tens place value among the game auxiliary display 12. (Sd1), performs an AND operation with the acquired display data of the display 12L and 02H (hexadecimal number) (Sd2), determines whether the operation result is 0 or not (Sd3), and determines whether the operation result is 0. If it is determined that the calculation result is 0, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are initialized (Sd4), and the game auxiliary display 12 is put into a non-display state. maintains the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R, and returns the gaming auxiliary display 12 to the display state before the power supply was stopped.

In this way, by ANDing (Sd2) the display data of the display device 12L acquired in Sd1 and 02H (hexadecimal number), 02H (hexadecimal number) becomes the value of the 1st bit corresponding to the 7th segment G. Since the value of the bit corresponding to the other segments is 00000010 (binary number), if the display data of the display device 12L acquired in Sd1 is 00000000 (binary number), that is, the 7th If the value of the first bit indicating the lighting state/non-lighting state of segment G is 0 indicating the non-lighting state, the calculation result of Sd2 is 00000000 (binary number), and the 7th segment G of the display 12L is specified to be in a non-lit state, and as described above, the error code or setting code is not displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 (the state where the number of coins to be paid out is displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12, the operation mode In this case, the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are initialized, and the display state before the power supply is stopped is determined. Regardless, the game auxiliary display 12 is in a non-display state.

On the other hand, if the display data of the display 12L acquired in Sd1 is 00000010 (binary number), that is, 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 Sd2 is 00000010 (binary number) and not 00000000 (binary number), so it is specified that the seventh segment G of the display 12L is lit, and the game is started as described above. Since it is identified that the error code or 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 gaming auxiliary display 12 is powered on. The display returns to the state before it stopped, that is, the state in which the error code or setting code is displayed.

In addition, as a method for determining whether an error code or setting code was displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 before the power supply was stopped, it is possible to determine whether the error code is displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 or not. , a method of determining whether the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 and the setting change state can be adopted. When adopting this method, in this embodiment, an error flag indicating whether an error state exists and a gaming state flag indicating whether a setting change state is stored are stored in different storage areas. , an error flag, and a gaming status flag, and each needs to be determined.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23(b), the main control unit 41 acquires a gaming state flag (Se1), and determines from the acquired gaming state flag whether or not it is in a setting change state (Se2). ), if it is determined that the settings are not changed, an error flag is acquired (Se3), and from the acquired error flag it is determined whether or not there is an error condition (Se4), and if it is determined that it is not an error condition, the , the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are initialized (Se5), and the game auxiliary display device 12 is put into a non-display state, and if it is determined in Se2 that the setting is changed, it is determined that the error state is in Se4. In this case, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained, and the gaming auxiliary display 12 is returned to the display state before the power supply was stopped.

In this way, the method of determining whether it is an error state or a setting change state requires five steps Se1 to Se5 and two branches, whereas the method shown in FIG. ), the method of determining whether or not the seventh segment G of the display 12L is lit requires only four steps from Sd1 to Sd4 and only one branch, which indicates an error state. This method requires less program capacity than a method that separately determines whether the program is in the current state or in the setting change state.

[Effect 1]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can control the game period to be either a normal period or an advantageous period, and in the advantageous period, it can control multiple types of conditions including a normal state, a precursor state, a CZ state, and an AT state. It is possible to control to an advantageous zone state. In addition, in the normal state, as a decision related to transitioning to the CZ state or AT state, it is possible to perform a normal game number reduction lottery to shorten the number of games required to transition to the CZ state or AT state, In the state, decisions related to transition to the CZ state and AT state include a second AT lottery to determine whether to transition to the AT state after the end of the precursor state and the CZ state, and a second AT lottery to determine whether to transition to the AT state after the end of the precursor state and the CZ state. It is possible to perform a first addition lottery to determine whether or not to add the number of games controlled to the AT state.

In addition, the main control unit 41 stops the left reel at the stop operation timing that falls within the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winnings A and B when a specific small winning combination A+1 piece and a specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery. By performing the operation (stopping operation in the left white area), specific minor roles A and B were won with 15 medals, and specific minor roles A+1 and specific minor roles B+1 were won in the internal lottery. In this case, if the left reel stop operation (stop operation in the left red area) is performed at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific small roles A and B, specific small roles A and B can be won. Instead, one medal is awarded and one medal is awarded.

Then, the main control unit 41 performs a stop operation that becomes the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combinations A and B when a specific small winning combination A+1 piece and a specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the omen state. If the left reel is stopped at the right timing, the normal game number reduction lottery will not be executed in the normal state, and neither the 2nd AT lottery nor the 1st additional lottery will be executed in the precursor state, and the special small role A, B If the left reel is stopped at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols, in the normal state, the number of games won in the normal game number reduction lottery is subtracted from the normal number of games, and in the precursor state, the 2nd AT lottery, This is a configuration in which one of the first additional lottery is executed.

With this configuration, in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, 15 pieces can be obtained by performing the stop operation of the left reel at the stop operation timing that is within the drawing range of the constituent symbols of specific small winning combinations A and B. Although medals are awarded, the regular game number reduction lottery, 2nd AT lottery, and 1st additional lottery related to the transition to the CZ state and AT state are not performed, and the symbols constituting the specific small prizes A and B are out of the drawing range. By performing a stop operation on the left reel at the stop operation timing, the 15 medals will not be awarded, but one of the normal game number reduction lottery, second AT lottery, and first additional lottery will be performed. Therefore, in the normal state and CZ state in the advantageous section, the player performs the stop operation on the left reel at the stop operation timing that falls within the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific small winning combinations A and B, and receives 15 medals. Or, whether to stop the left reel at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific small winnings A and B, and perform either the normal game number reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, or the 1st additional lottery. Since it becomes possible to select, it is possible to increase the interest of being controlled to an advantageous section.

In this embodiment, in the normal state, as a decision related to the transition to the CZ state and the AT state, a lottery to shorten the number of normal games is performed to shorten the number of games required to transition to the CZ state and the AT state. Regarding the structure, in the normal state, decisions related to transition to the CZ state and AT state include a CZ lottery to determine whether to transition to the CZ state or an AT lottery to determine whether to transition to the AT state. If a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the left reel will stop at the stop operation timing that falls within the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific minor role A and B. If you win specific minor prizes A and B by performing an operation, CZ lottery or AT lottery will not be conducted, and if you win specific minor prize A + 1 piece and specific minor prize B + 1 piece in the internal lottery in the normal state, , If the left reel is stopped at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific small winnings A and B, and one piece is won without winning specific small winnings A and B, It may also be configured to perform a CZ lottery or an AT lottery.

In addition, in this embodiment, when a specific minor winning combination, which is the trigger for making a decision related to transition to the CZ state and AT state in the normal state and the precursor state, is won, the operation mode is such that the specific minor winning combination is not won. In this case, one medal wins and one medal is paid out. However, if a specific minor prize is won and the operation is performed in an operation mode that does not allow the specific minor prize to win, the specific minor prize will be won. A configuration may be adopted in which a small winning combination with the award of a smaller number of medals than the number of medals awarded (15) when the player wins, or a configuration in which the mode of losing without awarding medals is stopped.

In addition, in this embodiment, when a specific minor winning combination, which is the trigger for making a decision related to transition to the CZ state and AT state in the normal state and the precursor state, is won, the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific minor winning combination and A specific small role will be won by stopping the reel at a stop operation timing of However, if a specific minor role is won and the stop operations are performed in a specific order of stop operations, if a specific minor role is won and the stop operations are performed in an order other than the specific order of stop operations. In a configuration in which a specific minor winning combination does not win, when a specific minor winning combination is won, the stopping operation is performed in a specific stopping operation order, and the stopping operation is performed on at least one or more reels at a specific stopping operation timing. If a specific small winning combination is won by It is also possible to have a structure in which no role wins a prize.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 lights up the section display LED 19 in the advantageous section to notify that the section is an advantageous section, and also performs an internal lottery in the normal section with a specific small winning combination that is an advantageous section transfer role. When A + 1 piece and specific small role B + 1 piece are won, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is within the draw range of the constituent symbols of specific small role A and B, and specific small role A and B win. Even if the left reel is stopped at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific minor winnings A and B, and specific minor winnings A and B do not win and only one piece wins, it is still an advantageous section. This is the configuration to move to.

With this configuration, in the normal section, by performing the stop operation of the left reel at the stop operation timing that is the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific small winning combinations A and B, 15 medals are awarded. , in order to move to the advantageous section, if the section display LED 19 is turned off and the player identifies that the control is in the normal section, the retraction range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winnings A and B It is more advantageous to perform the stop operation on the left reel at the stop operation timing. In particular, when a player plays a game by selecting an operation mode in which the specified small winning combinations A and B do not win and only one piece wins in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, that is, the operation mode with high play efficiency. In the normal section, the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which specific small winning combinations A and B win, and in the normal state and precursory state in the advantageous section, specific small winning combinations A and B do not win, and only one piece wins. It is more advantageous to perform a stop operation in a normal section, or to change the operation mode by specifying whether it is a normal state or a precursor state in an advantageous section.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a general role suggestion effect that suggests that a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece have been won in the internal lottery, and a specific minor role A+1 piece in the normal section. , a configuration that executes a common general role suggestion performance even when a specific minor role B+1 piece is won, and when a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won in the normal state and the sign state in the advantageous section. It is. With this configuration, even if a specific small winning combination A+1 piece and a specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won in the normal section, the specific small winning combination A+1 piece and specific small winning combination B+1 piece will be won in the normal state and the omen state in the advantageous period. Even if the player wins, a common general role suggestion effect will be executed and it will be difficult to identify whether the player is in the normal state or the normal state and portent state in the advantageous section. And when playing a game by selecting an operation mode in which specific small winning combinations A and B do not win and only one piece wins in a precursor state, that is, an operation mode with high game consumption efficiency, it is possible to identify that it is an advantageous section. You can make a difference in your advantage depending on whether you do it or not.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a common specific minor role winning effect when the main minor role, specific minor roles A, and B of the navigation minor role that are accompanied by the award of 15 medals win. There is a configuration in which the specific small role winning effect is not executed even when specific small roles A and B win in the normal section, or when specific small roles A and B win in the normal state and precursor state in the advantageous section. . With this configuration, by performing the stop operation in an operation mode in which specific small winning combinations A and B do not win and only one piece wins, the normal game number reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, and the 1st additional lottery are performed. Even though the situation exists, the stop operation is performed in an operation mode that allows specific minor winnings A and B to win, causing the player to mistakenly believe that it is always more advantageous to win specific minor winnings A and B. can be prevented.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs a third AT lottery for determining whether to transition to the AT state after the end of the CZ state in the CZ state, that is, a lottery that can increase the advantage in the CZ state, and an end of the CZ state. It is possible to carry out a second additional lottery to determine whether or not to add the number of controlled games to the AT state that will be transitioned later, that is, a lottery that can increase the advantage in the AT state that will transition from the CZ state. It is possible to perform a third additional lottery for determining whether to add the number of games controlled to the AT state, that is, a lottery that can increase the advantage in the AT state. In addition, in the case where specific small winning combinations A+1 pieces and specific small winning combinations B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state and AT state, even if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which specific small winning combinations A and B win, the specified small winning combination Even if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which minor winnings A and B do not win and only one piece wins, in the CZ state, either the 3rd AT lottery or the 2nd additional lottery will be executed, and in the AT state, the 3rd additional lottery will be executed. This is a configuration for executing a lottery. With this configuration, in the CZ state and AT state in the advantageous section, by performing a stop operation in an operation mode in which specific small winning combinations A and B win, 15 medals are awarded, and in addition, in the CZ state Since either the 3rd AT lottery, the 2nd additional lottery, or the 3rd additional lottery regarding the advantage of the AT state is performed, it is possible to increase the difference in the advantage between the normal state and precursor state and the CZ state and AT state. .

In this embodiment, when weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 executes the normal game number reduction lottery in the normal state, and executes the second AT lottery and the first additional lottery in the precursor state. In the CZ state, either the third AT lottery or the second additional lottery is executed, and in the AT state, the third additional lottery is executed. In addition, in the internal lottery in the normal state and the omen state, a specific minor role A + 1 piece and a specific minor role B + 1 piece are won, and when the specific minor role A and B are not won, the normal game number reduction lottery, 2nd AT The lottery and the first additional lottery are more advantageous than the regular game number reduction lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery, which are executed when weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state. High degree. On the other hand, the 3rd AT lottery, the 2nd additional lottery, and the 3rd additional lottery, which are executed when weak chance replays A and B win in the internal lottery in the CZ state and AT state, are better than the internal lottery in the CZ state and AT state. This configuration is more advantageous than the 3rd AT lottery, the 2nd additional lottery, and the 3rd additional lottery, which are executed when the specific small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won. With this configuration, in the normal state and the omen state, if a specific minor role A + 1 piece and a specific minor role B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery and you choose not to receive the 15 medals, While it is possible to relatively increase the advantage, in an advantageous state, a specific small role A + 1 piece and a specific small role B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery, and while receiving 15 medals, the 3rd AT lottery and the 2nd The advantage when either the additional lottery or the third additional lottery is performed does not increase excessively.

In addition, in this embodiment, when weak chance replays A and B are won in the normal state, a lottery to shorten the number of normal games is performed as a decision related to transition to the CZ state and AT state. If Replay A or B wins, the CZ lottery determines whether to transition to the CZ state without waiting for the number of normal games to become 0, and the AT state without waiting for the number of normal games to become 0. It is also possible to have a configuration in which an AT lottery is performed to determine whether or not to move to The normal number of games shortened lottery, 2nd AT lottery, and 1st additional lottery that are executed when the game is not played have relatively lower winning probabilities than the specified small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece under normal conditions. It may also be configured to have a higher advantage than the CZ lottery and AT lottery that are held when chance replays A and B are won, and with this configuration, under normal conditions, the special small role A + 1 piece in the internal lottery , it is possible to relatively increase the advantage in the case where a specific small role B+1 piece is won and you choose not to receive the 15 medals, and in the normal state, you can win a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece. By winning the special small winnings A and B, we purposely extend the period of the normal state without shortening the number of normal games, wait for weak chance replays A and B to win, and then enter the CZ lottery and It is possible to prevent the person receiving the AT lottery from having an advantage.

In this embodiment, when strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 executes the normal game number reduction lottery in the normal state, and executes the second AT lottery and the first additional lottery in the precursor state. In the CZ state, either the third AT lottery or the second additional lottery is executed, and in the AT state, the third additional lottery is executed. In addition, the normal game number reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, and the 1st additional lottery, which are executed when strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, are better than the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state. It is more advantageous than the regular game number reduction lottery, 2nd AT lottery, and 1st additional lottery, which are executed when a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won in the lottery, and specific minor roles A and B are not won. High degree. In addition, the 3rd AT lottery, 2nd additional lottery, and 3rd additional lottery, which are executed when strong chance replays A and B win in the internal lottery in the CZ state and AT state, are better than the internal lottery in the CZ state and AT state. This configuration is more advantageous than the 3rd AT lottery, the 2nd additional lottery, and the 3rd additional lottery, which are executed when the specific small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won. With this configuration, if strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the special small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination will be won in the internal lottery in both the normal state and the omen state, as well as in the CZ state and AT state. Since this is more advantageous than the case where the hand B+1 card wins, it is possible to draw attention to the fact that the strong chance replays A and B win.

In addition, in this embodiment, when strong chance replays A and B win in the normal state, a lottery to shorten the number of normal games is performed as a decision related to transition to the CZ state and AT state. If Replay A or B wins, the CZ lottery determines whether to transition to the CZ state without waiting for the number of normal games to become 0, and the AT state without waiting for the number of normal games to become 0. It is also possible to have a configuration in which an AT lottery is conducted to determine whether to move to In the CZ lottery and AT lottery, which are held when A and B are won, in the normal state, specific small role A + 1 piece and specific small role B + 1 piece are won, and when specific small role A and B are not won. It may be possible to have a configuration that is more advantageous than the regular game number reduction lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery to be executed, and it is noted that even with such a configuration, strong chance replays A and B win. can be done.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not specific small winning combination A+1 piece and specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, and determines whether the specific small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won. If it is determined that the combination B+1 has been won, the number of medals to be paid out is obtained, and it is determined whether the number of medals to be paid out is 15 or not, and the number of medals to be paid out is 15. If it is determined that this is the case, that is, if either specific small winning combination A or B wins, the regular game reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, and the 1st additional lottery will not be executed, and the number of medals to be paid out will be 15. If it is determined, that is, if one ticket is won, the configuration is such that a regular game number reduction lottery, a second AT lottery, and a first additional lottery are executed. With this configuration, when a specific minor role A + 1 piece and a specific minor role B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery, it is possible to check whether the specific minor role A or B won without specifying the symbol combination that stopped on the reel. Since it is possible to specify whether specific small winning combinations A and B did not win and one piece won, there are multiple types of stopping modes in which the game stops when the specific small winning combination or specific small winning combination cannot be won. Also, it is not complicated to determine whether or not the stop operation has been performed in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combinations A and B do not win and only one coin wins.

In addition, as explained as a modification in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines that in the internal lottery, specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 were won, and specific small winnings A and B were not won. In this case, in a configuration where one symbol always wins, and one symbol does not win except when specific minor winning combinations A+1 and specific minor winnings B+1 winning, first check whether the symbol combination of one symbol has stopped or not. If it is determined that one symbol combination has not stopped, the regular game number reduction lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are not executed, and it is determined that one symbol combination has stopped. In this case, in other words, when one of the specific small winning combinations A and B does not win a prize but one wins a prize, a configuration may be adopted in which a normal game number reduction lottery, a second AT lottery, and a first additional lottery are executed. With this configuration, in the normal state and the precursor state, the symbol combinations stopped on the reels become one symbol combination, so that the normal game number reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, and the 1st additional lottery are performed. In addition, by simply determining whether or not the symbol combination that has stopped on the reels is a single symbol combination, specific minor winning combinations A+1 and specific minor winnings B+1 can be won in the internal lottery, and It can be specified that the left reel has been operated at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific small winning combinations A and B.

In the present example, the symbol combination of the specific small winning combination A, in which a specific small winning combination A+1 piece is won and drawn to the winning line LN, and the specific small winning combination B, in which a specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won and drawn out to the winning line LN. If the symbol combination is different and a specific minor winning combination A+1 piece is won, a stop operation is performed in the left white area to perform control to derive the symbol combination of the specific minor winning combination A to the winning line LN, and the specific minor winning combination is When B + 1 piece is won, the stop operation is performed in the left white area to control to derive the symbol combination of the specific small winning combination B to the winning line LN, and even when the specific small winning combination A + 1 piece is won, Even when the specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won, the control is performed to derive one symbol combination to the winning line LN by performing a stop operation in the left red area. With such a configuration, when a stopping operation is performed in an operation mode in which specific small winning combinations A and B do not win and only one piece wins, the symbol combinations that are stopped are diverse.

In addition, in this embodiment, if the specific small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won, and the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which specific small winning combination A and B do not win and only one piece wins, 1 piece is always won. For example, if there are 1 piece A and 1 piece B with different symbol combinations, a specific minor winning combination + 1 piece A wins, and the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the specific minor winning combination does not win. In this case, 1 piece A wins, a specific small winning combination + 1 piece B wins, and when the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination does not win, a configuration in which 1 piece B wins, that is, a specific small winning combination. It is also possible to have a configuration that includes multiple types of symbol combinations that are stopped when a specific minor combination is not won.With such a configuration, the symbol combinations that are stopped when a stopping operation is performed in an operation mode that does not result in a winning of a specific minor role. becomes diverse.

In addition, in this example, both when a specific small winning combination A+1 piece is won and when a specific small winning combination B+1 piece is winning, the stopping operation is performed in the left red area, that is, the stopping operation is performed in a common operation mode. In this case, the specific small winning combinations A and B do not win. With such a configuration, the stop operation can be performed in an operation mode that does not allow specific small winning combinations A and B to win, without being aware of whether specific small winning combination A+1 piece has been won or specific small winning combination B+1 piece has been won. It can be performed.

In addition, in this example, when the specific small winning combination A+1 piece is won and when the specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won, when the stop operation is performed in the common operation mode, the specific small winning combination A, B Although the configuration is such that the specific minor role does not win, there is at least an operation mode in which the specific minor role does not win when the specific minor role A + 1 piece is won, and an operation mode in which the specific minor role does not win when the specific minor role B + 1 piece is won. The operation modes may partially overlap. In this case, for example, it is preferable that the stop operation position (timing when the "Red 7" symbol passes, etc.) is the same as the guideline when performing a stop operation that does not allow specific small winning combinations A and B to win. With this configuration, it is possible to perform a stop operation in an operation mode that does not allow specific small winning combinations A and B to win, without being aware of whether specific small winning combination A + 1 piece has been won or specific small winning combination B + 1 piece has been won. I can do it.

In addition, in this example, both when a specific small winning combination A+1 piece is won and when a specific small winning combination B+1 piece is winning, the stopping operation is performed in the left white area, that is, the stopping operation is performed in a common operation mode. In this case, specific small winning combinations A and B win prizes. With this configuration, the stop operation can be performed in an operation mode that allows you to win specific small winning combinations A and B without being aware of whether you have won specific small winning combination A + 1 piece or specific small winning combination B + 1 piece. It can be performed.

In addition, in this example, when the specific small winning combination A+1 piece is won and when the specific small winning combination B+1 piece is won, when the stop operation is performed in the common operation mode, the specific small winning combination A, B is configured to win a prize, but there is at least an operation mode in which a specific minor prize is won when a specific minor prize A+1 piece is won, and an operational manner in which a specific minor prize is won when a specific minor prize B+1 piece is won. The operation modes may partially overlap. In this case, for example, it is preferable that the stop operation position (timing when the "white 7" symbol passes, etc.) is the same as the guideline when performing the stop operation to win specific small winning combinations A and B. With this configuration, it is possible to perform a stop operation in an operation mode that allows specific small winning combinations A and B to be won without being aware of whether specific small winning combination A+1 piece has been won or specific small winning combination B+1 piece has been won. I can do it.

In this example, the range of red 7 areas and white 7 areas on the left reel is the range of 10 consecutive symbols, which is the range of 1/2 of one revolution of the left reel, specific small winning combination A + 1 piece, specific small winning combination B + 1 piece. When winning a special small winning combination A, B or one piece, the order of stop operations does not matter, so stop the left reel at the stop operation timing that is within the draw range of the constituent symbols of specific small winnings A and B. , that is, the number of stop operations in the left white area is the same as the number of stop operations on the left reel, that is, the number of stop operations in the left red area at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of specific small winnings A and B. This is the configuration. With this configuration, if the operation mode is selected appropriately in the normal state and the omen state, the ratio with the award of 15 medals, the normal game number reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, and the 1st additional lottery The rate at which this is done becomes 1/2.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a general role suggestion effect that suggests the winning of the corresponding general role by using the color corresponding to the general role won in the normal state and the precursor state, and can perform normal replays A to A. C corresponds to blue, navigation minor role yellow, strong/weak chance replay A to red, strong/weak chance replay B to green, and specific minor role A + 1 piece and specific minor role B + 1 piece correspond to normal replay A. ~C, navigation small combination, strong/weak chance replay A, strong/weak chance replay B It is configured to correspond to a different color from the color corresponding to the replay B. With this configuration, the winning of specific small winning combinations A+1 and specific small winnings B+1 in the internal lottery in the normal state and the omen state can be performed as normal replays A to C, navigation small winnings, and strong/weak chance replays A. , strong and weak chance replay B can be distinguished and recognized.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is capable of executing a general role suggestion performance that suggests winning of the general role in the normal state and the precursor state, and can perform normal replays A to C, navigation minor roles, strong and weak in the internal lottery. If either chance replay A or strong/weak chance replay B is won, a general role suggestion performance will be executed at the start of the game, at the first stop, at the second stop, or at the third stop. It is possible, and if a specific minor role A + 1 piece and a specific minor role B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery, the general role suggestion performance is always executed at the time of the start operation, that is, before the stop operation becomes effective. be. With this configuration, the winning of specific small winning combination A+1 piece and specific small winning combination B+1 piece in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state is guaranteed at the time of the start operation, that is, before the stop operation becomes effective. Therefore, if a specific small winning combination A+1 piece and a specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, the player will win the specific small winning combination A and B before the stop operation becomes effective. It is possible to select whether to perform a stop operation in an operation mode that allows winnings or to perform a stop operation in an operation mode that does not allow specific small winning combinations A and B to win.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a general role suggestion effect that suggests the winning of the general role in the normal state and the precursor state, and when the normal replay A to C and the navigation minor role are won in the internal lottery. There are cases where the general role suggestion performance is executed and there are cases where it is not executed, but if a specific minor role A + 1 piece and a specific minor role B + 1 piece are won in the internal lottery, the general role suggestion performance is always executed. It is configured to do this. With such a configuration, if a specific minor role A+1 piece and a specific minor role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the omen state, the general role suggestion performance is always executed, so that the general role suggestion effect is always executed. If a specific small role A+1 piece and a specific small role B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, this can be recognized without fail, and the stop operation is performed in an operation mode that allows the specific small role A and B to win. Alternatively, the player can select whether to perform a stop operation in an operation mode that does not allow the specific small winning combinations A and B to win.

In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is configured to provide information to that effect when the number of regular games is shortened by a lottery to reduce the number of regular games in the normal state, and when the second AT lottery and the first additional lottery are held in the precursor state. The configuration is such that it is possible to execute the suggested normal game number reduction effect. With such a configuration, it is possible to detect whether the normal game number reduction lottery, the 2nd AT lottery, or the 1st additional lottery has been performed as a result of the stop operation in an operation mode that does not allow specific small winning combinations A and B to win. It is possible to make people aware of this.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 awards 15 medals when any of the navigation minor prizes is won in the internal lottery and is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the won navigation minor prize. If a main minor role is won and the operation is operated in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the won navigation minor role, either a secondary minor role with one medal will be awarded, or both roles will be won. If you don't, you'll be disappointed. Furthermore, when any navigation minor prize is won in the internal lottery in the CZ state and the AT state, the sub control unit 91 can execute a navigation performance that prompts the operation mode corresponding to the won navigation minor prize, and The operation mode for winning specific minor roles A and B when minor role A + 1 piece and specific minor role B + 1 piece is won is included in the operation mode for winning the main minor role when some navigation minor role is won. In addition, when the specific minor winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won, the same navigation effect as that executed when the navigation small winning combination is won is executed. With this configuration, when a specific small winning combination A+1 piece and a specific small winning combination B+1 piece are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state and the AT state, 15 medals are awarded without the player being aware of it. It is possible to prompt a stop operation in an operation mode that allows the specific small winning combinations A and B to be won.

In this embodiment, when the main minor prize, specific minor prize A, and specific minor prize B that involve the provision of 15 medals are won in the CZ state and the AT state, the sub-control unit 91 controls the common specific minor prize winning prize. It has a configuration that allows execution of performances. With such a configuration, when specific small winning combinations A and B win in the CZ state and the AT state, it is possible to notify that fact without any discomfort.

In this example, the probability of winning a specific small winning combination A+1 piece and a specific small winning combination B+1 in the internal lottery in the normal gaming state (non-internal/internal) is 1345/65536, respectively. - This is a configuration that is set lower than the winning probability (2000/65536) for each of the main and minor roles in (internal medium). With such a configuration, the probability of winning the specific small winning combination A+1 piece and the specific small winning combination B+1 piece in the internal lottery does not become excessively high.

In this embodiment, the small prizes that can be won in the internal lottery in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium/internal medium) include the navigation minor prize, special small prize A+1 piece, and special small prize B+1 piece, and the internal lottery in the special gaming state The winnable roles include a composite minor role 1 in which all the main minor roles and specific minor roles A and B are won, and the winning probability of the composite minor role 1 is 2001/65536, and the normal game state It is higher than the winning probability (2000/65536) of each of the main and minor roles in the (non-internal medium/internal medium), and the winning probability of each of the specific minor roles A and B in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium/internal medium) (1345/ 65536). With this configuration, in the special gaming state, the probability that the derivation of the main and minor winnings is allowed and the probability that the derivation of the specific minor winnings A and B are allowed are also the same as in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium/internal medium). ) can be further increased.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is capable of executing a normal game number reduction lottery that shortens the number of normal games required until the normal state ends in a normal state in which there is no transition to the CZ state within a predetermined number of games. In the precursor state to transition to the CZ state within a predetermined number of games, the second AT lottery determines whether to control to the AT state after the end of the CZ state. This is a configuration in which a first additional lottery is performed to determine whether or not to increase the number of games. With such a configuration, even if it is a normal state that does not transition to the CZ state within a predetermined number of games, or a precursor state that will transition to the CZ state within a predetermined number of games, it can be specified in the internal lottery. When a small winning combination A+1 and a specific small winning combination B+1 are won, an excessive difference in advantage does not occur due to selecting a stop operation in an operation mode that does not allow the specific small winning combinations A and B to win.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is configured to execute a precursor effect that suggests the possibility that the vehicle is being controlled to a precursor state. With such a configuration, by executing the precursor effect, it is possible to make the player expect that the player is controlled to be in the precursor state, that is, to shift to the CZ state within a predetermined number of games.

In this embodiment, if the transition to the AT state has not been determined in the precursor state, the main control unit 41 executes a second AT lottery to determine whether or not to transition to the AT state. If the transition to the state has been decided, the first additional lottery determines whether to add the number of games controlled to the AT state to be transitioned to after the end of the precursor state and the CZ state, that is, the advantage of the AT state. This is a configuration that executes a lottery regarding degrees. With this configuration, in a precursor state that will transition to the CZ state within a predetermined number of games, even if the transition to the AT state has not been determined, the transition to the AT state is determined. Even in this case, when specific small winning combinations A+1 pieces and specific small winning combinations B+1 piece are won in an internal lottery, it is not wasted to select a stop operation in an operation mode that does not allow specific small winning combinations A and B to win.

[Effect 2]
In this embodiment, the game auxiliary display 12 is provided with indicators 12L and 12R having the first to eighth segments A to DP, and the main control unit 41 controls the lighting state of each of the first to eighth segments A to DP. Alternatively, an output buffer is provided in which display data indicating a non-lighting state is set, and a lighting/lighting-off signal based on the display data is output from the output port to each display 12L, 12R. By setting the eighth segments A to DP in a lit state or a non-lit state, display values can be displayed on each of the indicators 12L and 12R of the auxiliary display 12. In addition, the main control unit 41 can display the number of coins to be paid out, an error code, and a setting code on the gaming auxiliary display 12, and the number of coins to be paid out is a display value that causes the seventh segment G of the display 12L to be in a non-lit state. , error code, and setting code are display values that turn on the seventh segment G of the display 12L. Then, the main control unit 41 determines whether the value corresponding to the seventh segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display device 12L is 0 indicating a non-lighting state or 1 indicating a lighting state. This configuration determines the following and performs different controls depending on the result. With this configuration, it is possible to determine whether the value corresponding to the seventh segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display device 12L is 0 indicating a non-lighting state or 1 indicating a lighting state. By simply determining , it is possible to specify whether an error code or setting code is being displayed and perform different control.

In this embodiment, the display data set in the output buffer of the display device 12L and the value of the first bit corresponding to the seventh segment G are 1, and the values of the bits corresponding to other segments are 0. By performing an AND operation with 02H (hexadecimal number), it is determined whether the value corresponding to the seventh segment G of the display data on the display device 12L is 0 indicating a non-lighting state or 1 indicating a lighting state. However, after shifting the value of the 1st bit corresponding to the 7th segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display device 12L to the 0th bit, the value of the 0th bit becomes 0. By determining whether it is present or 1, it is determined whether the value corresponding to the seventh segment G of the display data on the display device 12L is 0 indicating a non-lit state or 1 indicating a lit state. It may also be configured as a configuration.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls the power consumption when the initialization condition is satisfied (after the power supply is stopped, the power supply is When the power supply is resumed and the control state returns to the state before the power supply was stopped), the value corresponding to the seventh segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display device 12L becomes 0 indicating the non-lighting state. If it is 0, indicating a non-lighting state, the game auxiliary display 12 is turned off by initializing the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R. The configuration is such that it is in a display state. With this configuration, the error code or setting code is displayed when the initialization condition is met while the number of coins to be paid out, the error code, or the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. It can be easily determined whether or not the game auxiliary display 12 should be in the non-display state depending on whether the game auxiliary display 12 is in the non-display state or not.

In this embodiment, when the setting key switch 37 is in the ON state and power supply is started, the main control unit 41 selects one of the setting values 1 to 6, which have different degrees of advantage for the player. It is possible to move to a setting change state where the settings can be selected and set. Further, 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 while the number of coins to be paid out is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. When the setting change state is controlled, upon completion of the setting change state, the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are initialized, thereby putting the game auxiliary display device 12 into the non-display state. 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 has been stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply was stopped, determines whether the value corresponding to the seventh segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display device 12L is 0 indicating a non-lighting state or 1 indicating a lighting state, and When the status is 0, the output buffers of the display devices 12L and 12R are initialized, so that the game auxiliary display device 12 is put into a non-display state. With such a configuration, the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is detected when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped while the number of coins to be paid out is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. , when the setting change state is controlled, the game auxiliary display 12 goes into a non-display state as the setting change state ends, but the settings change when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped. If the ON state of the key switch 37 is not detected and the control state is returned to the state before the power supply was stopped, the value corresponding to the seventh segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display device 12L is By determining whether it is 0 indicating a non-lit state or 1 indicating a lit state, it is possible to identify whether or not the game auxiliary display 12 is in a state where the number of payout coins may have been displayed. If a situation in which there is a possibility that the number of coins to be paid out is displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 is identified, the gaming auxiliary display 12 will be in a non-display state. Even if the power supply is stopped while the number of coins is being displayed, whether or not the set value has been set can be determined based on whether the number of coins to be paid out is displayed on the gaming auxiliary display 12 when the store opens the next day. can be prevented.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls the power supply when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped while the game auxiliary display 12 is displaying information indicating the number of coins to be paid out, that is, the result of the game. This is a configuration in which the game auxiliary display 12 is put into a non-display state when the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected and the control state is returned to the state before the power supply was stopped. With such a configuration, the number of coins to be paid out is information indicating the result of the game, and even if the gaming auxiliary display 12 goes into a non-display state and the number of coins to be paid out is erased when power supply starts. , it has no effect after that.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stops power supply while the game auxiliary display 12 displays an error code or setting code, that is, information indicating an error state in which the game cannot proceed or a setting change state. If the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is restarted, and the control state is returned to the one before the power supply was stopped, the error code or error code that was displayed before the power supply was The configuration is such that the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. With such a configuration, the error code and setting code are information indicating an error state in which the game cannot proceed or a setting change state, and when power supply starts, an error code before power supply stops By maintaining the display of the code or setting code, it can be recognized that the game cannot proceed.

In this embodiment, an error flag indicating an error state and a gaming state flag indicating a setting change state are set in different storage areas of the RAM 41c. With such a configuration, the seventh segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display device 12L is used without determining the error flag and gaming status flag set in different storage areas of the RAM 41c. When it is determined that the corresponding value is 1 indicating the lighting state, it is possible to specify that the error state or setting change state is present and maintain the display of the error code or setting code.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions that do not depart from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say.
