Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  A conventional slot machine, a so-called pachislot machine, displays a mechanical variation display device configured by arranging three rotating reels that variably display a plurality of symbols in the front display window, or displays the symbols on a reel on the screen. An electrical fluctuation display device is provided.

  In such a pachislot machine, the player sets an effective line according to the number of betting game media such as medals or coins (the number of BETs), and performs a start operation. In response to the player's start operation, the pachislot machine controls the display of the variable display device and rotates each reel to display the symbols in a variable manner, either automatically after a certain period of time, or By the stop operation, the rotation of each reel is sequentially stopped. At this time, when the symbols of each reel appearing in the display window are in a specific combination (display combination), it is known to give a player a profit by paying out medals, coins, etc. .

  Currently mainstream models have a plurality of types of display combinations. In particular, when a display combination of a certain combination is established, a single medal is not paid out, and the gaming state is better in condition than the normal state for a predetermined period. As such a combination, a combination that allows a player to play a game that gives a relatively large profit a predetermined number of times (referred to as “Big Bonus”, hereinafter abbreviated as “BB”) and a relatively small profit for the player There is a role (referred to as a “regular bonus”, hereinafter abbreviated as “RB”) that allows a game to be given a predetermined number of times.

  There is known a gaming machine that shifts to a gaming state advantageous to a player when such a specific symbol combination is displayed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the mainstream models, a combination of predetermined symbols is arranged along the set active line, and a display combination for paying out medals, coins, etc., or a setting such as “BB” or “RB” is changed. In order to establish a display combination, a winning combination (hereinafter referred to as “internal winning combination”) is performed by an internal lottery process (hereinafter referred to as “internal random determination”), and the internal winning combination (hereinafter referred to as “internal winning combination”). The player is required to perform a stop operation at a timing at which the symbol combination indicating the establishment of the above can be stopped at the set active line.

  As described above, if the combination of symbols such as “BB” and “RB” is not stopped and displayed on the active line, the bonus game does not start, so a technique of pushing the target symbol on the active line is necessary. (For example, see Patent Document 2).

  In general, among a plurality of symbols arranged on the peripheral surface of each reel, a proportion of symbols constituting the combination of the specific symbols (hereinafter referred to as “specific symbols”) is small. For this reason, it is difficult for the player to determine the specific symbol when the reel is rotating, and so-called missing may occur.

  Such a phenomenon appears prominently in the case of a player who is not good at pushing, and as a result, a player who is not good at pushing tends to refrain from playing games, which reduces the operating rate of gaming machines. Sometimes it is connected.

  For this reason, a gaming machine that disposes of the above-mentioned oversight by determining that the display combination is established when a specific symbol is displayed on any of all display windows after arranging the specific symbol at a predetermined interval is proposed. (For example, see Patent Document 3).

JP 2000-210413 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-232084 JP 2004-313447 A

  However, in such a conventional gaming machine, the probability that the specific symbol is displayed on the active line becomes extremely high. For this reason, if stop control is performed with this probability, the winning probability is too high, and there are too many transitions to advantageous gaming states and payout of gaming value. In order to avoid such inconvenience, the number of games after the transition to an advantageous gaming state must be limited to a small number, or the payout of gaming value at the time of winning must be reduced. As a result, it becomes monotonous and lacks interest.

  In addition, the stop operation becomes monotonous after clearing out the missing, and the interest in the player's game will inevitably decline without the profit being returned to the player due to the technical intervention such as “push” End up. Furthermore, only an image effect that informs the user that the internal winning has been achieved results in a monotonous effect and a visually interesting effect cannot be realized.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine in which a player can perform various interesting effects by technical intervention.

  In order to solve the above problems, the gaming machine of the present invention has a symbol display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, which will be described later) having a plurality of display units (for example, display windows 28 described later) for displaying a plurality of types of symbols. 3R), a start operation detecting means (for example, a start switch 6S described later) for detecting a player's start operation for a start operation section (for example, a start lever 6 described later), and a start performed by the start operation detecting means. A symbol changing means (for example, a reel stop control process in step S12 in FIG. 26 described later, a main control circuit 71 described later) for changing the symbol displayed on each of the plurality of display units based on the detection of the operation, and a random lottery A winning mode determining means (for example, processing in step S13 in FIG. 26 described later, main control circuit 71 described later), and a plurality of display units. Stop operation detecting means (for example, a reel position detection circuit 47 described later) for detecting a stop operation of the player with respect to a stop operation section (for example, stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R described later) provided corresponding to each An effect image display means (for example, a liquid crystal display device 5 described later) for displaying an effect image related to the game (for example, an effect image shown in FIGS. 23 and 25 described later), and an effect control for controlling the effect by the effect image display means. Means (for example, a later-described sub-control circuit 72), draw-in control means for drawing a symbol corresponding to the winning mode determined by the winning mode determining unit by a predetermined number of sliding frames into the winning line and stopping it (for example, described later) 33. Reel control processing in step S183 in FIG. 33, main control circuit 71 (to be described later) Poi for preliminarily storing point data corresponding to the number of sliding frames by the pull-in control means Point storage means (for example, a later-described program ROM (Read Only Memory) 75, a later-described sub-control circuit 72) and a point for giving points with reference to point data according to the number of sliding frames drawn by the pull-in control means Granting means (for example, point grant processing in step S204 in FIG. 34 described later, sub-control circuit 72 described later).

  With the above configuration, due to the technical intervention of the player, even if the same small role is established at the timing of the stop operation, it corresponds to the number of sliding frames drawn by the pulling control means, how many frames were drawn, how many frames were drawn Points will be given, so you can play games specialized for a specific model, accumulate points, and increase the player's willingness to obtain some benefits based on these accumulated points. Even if the player is not good at the game, it can give meaning to the act of pushing, so the game will not be monotonous. For example, if you clear a predetermined number of points, you can change the clothes of the character It is possible to provide a gaming machine in which the performance differs depending on the player with a small number of points, and the player can perform various interesting performances through technical intervention.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention is an effect data storage means for storing a plurality of mission effect data for instructing a player to stop operation so as to stop and display a symbol at a predetermined position on the symbol display means (for example, A program ROM (Read Only Memory) 75), which will be described later, is provided, and the production control means determines one production data from the mission production data when the predetermined gaming state is reached, and uses the production means. The player gives a stop operation to the player, and the point granting unit is drawn in on the condition that the symbol is stopped and displayed on the symbol display unit by the stop operation detecting unit in accordance with the stop operation instruction by the mission effect data. Points are given by referring to the point data according to the number of sliding frames drawn by the control means.

  With the above configuration, the player is given a mission to give a stop operation instruction, and the player who completes this mission is awarded points according to the number of sliding symbols drawn in by pull-in control.

  Here, the structure of the liquid crystal display device 5 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the liquid crystal display device 5 includes a front panel 51 including a protective glass 52 and a display plate 53, a transparent liquid crystal panel 54, a light guide plate 55, a reflection film 56, and fluorescent lamps 57 a and 57 b which are so-called white light sources. 58a, 58b, lamp holders 59a to 59h, and a table carrier package (TCP) on which an IC for driving the transparent liquid crystal panel is mounted. The TCP is a flexible substrate (not shown) connected to a terminal portion of the transparent liquid crystal panel 54. Etc.). As described above, the liquid crystal display device 5 is provided in front of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. Further, the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, 4R and the liquid crystal display device 5 are provided with a predetermined interval.

  The protective glass 52 and the display board 53 are comprised with the transparent member. On the display board 53, a pattern or the like is formed at a position corresponding to the above-described BET lamps 9a to 9c. That is, the area where the pattern or the like of the display board 53 is formed is the pattern formation area 51b of the front panel 51, and the area where the pattern or the like of the display board 53 is not formed is the display window 51a of the front panel 51. (See FIG. 2). The entire surface of the front panel 51 may be used as the display window 51a without forming the pattern forming region 51b on the front panel 51. In this case, a pattern is not formed on the display board 53 or the display board 53 may be omitted. Note that various lamps arranged on the back side of the display plate 53, electric circuits for operating various display units, and the like are not shown.

  The transparent liquid crystal panel 54 is formed by sealing liquid crystal in a gap between a transparent substrate such as a glass plate on which a thin film transistor layer is formed and a transparent substrate facing the transparent substrate. The display mode of the transparent liquid crystal panel 54 is set to normally white. The normally white is a configuration in which white display is performed (light transmitted to the display surface side is visible from the outside) in a state where the liquid crystal is not driven. By adopting a normally white transparent liquid crystal panel 54, even if there is a situation where the liquid crystal cannot be driven, identification information such as symbols displayed on the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, 4R The variable display and stop display can be visually recognized, and the game can be continued. That is, even when such a situation occurs, it is possible to play a game centering on the variable display mode and stop display mode of the identification information (for example, symbols) displayed on the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

  The light guide plate 55 is used to guide the light from the fluorescent lamps 57a and 57b to the transparent liquid crystal panel 54 (illuminate the transparent liquid crystal panel 54), and is provided on the back side of the transparent liquid crystal panel 54. It is composed of a transparent member (having a light guiding function) such as an acrylic resin having a thickness.

  The reflective film 56 is, for example, a white polyester film or an aluminum thin film formed with a silver vapor deposition film, and reflects the light introduced into the light guide plate 55 toward the front side of the light guide plate 55. The reflective film 56 includes a reflective area 56A and a non-reflective area (transmissive area) 56B.

  The fluorescent lamps 57 a and 57 b are arranged along the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the light guide plate 55, and both ends are supported by the lamp holder 59. The light emitted from the fluorescent lamps 57 a and 57 b is reflected by the reflection area 56 </ b> A of the reflection film 56 to illuminate the transparent liquid crystal panel 54.

  The fluorescent lamps 58a and 58b are disposed toward the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, and 4R at an upper position and a lower position on the back side of the reflective film 56, respectively. The light exiting from the fluorescent lamps 58a and 58b, reflected by the surfaces of the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, and 4R and incident on the non-reflective area 56B illuminates the transparent liquid crystal panel 54.

In this way, the light irradiated from the fluorescent lamps 57a and 57b and reflected by the reflection area 56A of the reflective film 56 and the light irradiated from the fluorescent lamps 58a and 58b are reflected on the surfaces of the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, and 4R and are not reflected. The light incident on the region 56B illuminates the transparent liquid crystal panel 54. Therefore, the region of the liquid crystal display device 5 corresponding to the non-reflective region 56B of the reflective film 56 is a region that switches to a transparent / non-transparent state depending on whether or not the liquid crystal is driven. The reflective region 56A of the reflective film 56 The region of the liquid crystal display device corresponding to is in a non-transparent state regardless of whether or not the liquid crystal is driven.

  The gaming machine is a region where only a part of the liquid crystal display device 5 is switched to a transparent / non-transparent state. However, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the display screen of the liquid crystal display device is entirely transparent / It may be a region that switches to a non-transparent state. In this case, when the entire region of the liquid crystal display device 5 is a region that is switched to the transmissive state or the non-transmissive state, all the reflective films 56 may be the non-reflective regions 56B or the reflective film 56 may be omitted.

<Electric configuration of gaming machine: main control circuit 71>
In the above configuration, the control operation of the gaming machine shown in FIG. 5 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 4, the operation of the gaming machine is controlled by a main control circuit 71 provided on the main board and a sub control circuit 72 provided on the sub board. The main control circuit 71 shown in FIG. 5 includes a microcomputer 30 disposed on a circuit board as a main component, and is added to a circuit for random number sampling. The microcomputer 30 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 31 that performs control operations according to a preset program, a read only memory (ROM) 32 and a random access memory (RAM) 33 that are main board side storage means. Yes.

  Connected to the CPU 31 are a clock pulse generator 34 and a frequency divider 35 for generating a reference clock pulse, and a random number generator 36 and a sampling circuit 37 for generating a random number to be sampled. The random number generator 36 generates a random number (for example, 0 to 65535) belonging to a certain numerical range. The sampling circuit 37 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. The CPU 31 determines an internal winning combination based on the random numbers sampled by the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37 and the probability lottery table stored in the ROM 32.

  As a means for random number sampling, the random number sampling may be executed in the microcomputer 30, that is, on the operation program of the CPU 31. In that case, the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37 can be omitted, or can be left as a backup for the random number sampling operation.

  Various information is temporarily stored in the RAM 33 of the main control circuit 71. For example, the game state, the number of medals inserted in one game, the number of medals paid out in one game, and the like are stored.

  On the other hand, the ROM 32 of the main control circuit 71 stores the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R according to the operation of the probability lottery table and the stop button that are used for determination of random number sampling that is performed every time the start lever 6 is operated (start operation). Various data tables such as a stop table group for determining a stop mode, various control commands (commands) to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 72, and the like are stored. The ROM 32 stores a program for executing each processing routine such as a main routine described later.

  The main actuators whose operation is controlled by the control signal from the microcomputer 30 include various lamps (1-BET lamp 9a, 2-BET lamp 9b, maximum BET lamp 9c, display unit 17, medal insertion lamp 24, A game start display lamp 25), a hopper (including a drive unit for payout) 40 for storing medals and paying out a predetermined number of medals according to a command from the hopper drive circuit 41, and reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are rotationally driven. There are stepping motors 49L, 49C, and 49R.

Each of these drive circuits receives a control signal such as a drive command output from the CPU 31, and controls the operation of each actuator.

  The gaming machine 1 counts the number of times pulses are output to the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R after a reel index indicating that the reel has made one rotation is detected by a reel position detection circuit 50 described later. Thus, the rotation angle of the reel with reference to the position where the reel index is detected is detected. Further, gears (not shown) for transmitting the rotations of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R to the reels 3L, 3C, 3R with a predetermined reduction ratio are provided, and 16 times with respect to the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R. By outputting this pulse, the reel corresponding to one symbol arranged on the surface of the reel is rotated.

  Specifically, the number of pulses output to the aforementioned stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is counted by the pulse counter of the RAM 33, and every time 16 pulse outputs are counted by the pulse counter, the RAM 33 Are added one by one. The symbol counter is cleared each time a reel index is detected.

  Here, symbol positions “0” to “20” for identifying each of the symbols arranged on the surface of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are defined in order from the rotation direction of the reels ( FIG. 11). The reel index is detected by a reel position detection circuit 50 described later so that the symbol corresponding to the symbol position “0” is positioned on the center line 8c. That is, when the value of the symbol counter becomes “0” by detecting the reel index, the symbol corresponding to the symbol position “0” is positioned on the center line 8c, and as a result, the symbol counter corresponds to the symbol position. Attached.

  In addition, the ROM 32 stores a symbol arrangement table that represents the configuration of symbols arranged on the surface of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R as data. In the symbol arrangement table, when the reel index is detected, the symbol located in the middle stage of the display window 28 is defined as symbol position “0”, and symbol positions “0” to “20” corresponding to the symbol counter described above, A symbol type corresponding to each symbol position is defined. Therefore, based on the symbol arrangement table and the symbol counter, the symbol positioned in the middle stage of the display window 28 of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R, the symbol adjacent thereto, and the like can be specified.

  The gaming machine is configured such that the reel index is detected so that the symbol at symbol position “0” is positioned on the center line 8c, and the symbol on the center line 8c is specified by the symbol counter. (In other words, the center line 8c is applied as the predetermined position), but the present invention is not limited to this, and the position where the symbol is specified can be arbitrarily changed. For example, the top line 8b or the bottom line 8d can be applied as the predetermined position. At this time, a configuration in which the reel index is detected so that the symbol of the symbol position “0” is positioned on the top line 8b or the bottom line 8d can be applied.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the start switch 6S functions as a start operation detecting unit that detects the start operation of the player with respect to the start operation unit. The 1-BET switch 11S, the maximum BET switch 12S, and the C / P switch 14S detect operations of the 1-BET button 11, the maximum BET button 12, and the C / P button 14, respectively. The inserted medal sensor 22 </ b> S detects a medal inserted into the medal slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 46 generates a stop signal in accordance with the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R. The reel position detection circuit 47 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and supplies a signal for detecting the position of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R to the CPU 31. The payout completion signal circuit 44 generates a signal for detecting completion of the medal payout when the count value of the medal detection unit 40S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 40) reaches the designated number data.

It may be an aid to letting

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the transition conditions of each gaming state of the gaming machine 1, the termination conditions, and the transition destination gaming state after the termination will be described. The generation condition, end condition, and transfer destination game state of each game state are as illustrated in FIG.

  The gaming state of the gaming machine 1 includes a general gaming state, an internal winning state (including the RB internal winning state during the BB gaming state), a big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB) gaming state, a general gaming state, and a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB). There are four gaming states (including the RB gaming state during the BB gaming state and the RB gaming state during the general gaming state). The BB gaming state is a gaming state configured by a predetermined combination of the BB general gaming state and the RB gaming state during the BB gaming state. BB and RB are collectively referred to as a bonus.

  The internal winning state is a gaming state that shifts from the general gaming state or the BB gaming state, and transitions by the internal winning of the BB or RB, or the internal winning of the RB in the BB gaming state, and the establishment of BB or RB, or BB The game ends when the gaming state ends or the RB gaming state starts during the BB gaming state (the establishment of RB). The internal winning state is a state in which BB or RB is carried over, that is, a state in which information that has been won internally in BB or RB is carried over. In particular, a state where BB is carried over and a state where RB is carried over are referred to as a BB internal winning state and an RB internal winning state, respectively. The internal winning state shifts to the BB gaming state when finished with the establishment of BB, and transitions to the RB gaming state when finished with the establishment of RB.

  The BB gaming state is a gaming state that shifts from the general gaming state or the BB internal winning state, and occurs when BB is established, and the number of acquired medals (the number of medals paid out to the player) becomes a predetermined number (for example, 466 or more). When finished, it shifts to the general gaming state.

  The BB general gaming state is a gaming state that shifts from the general gaming state, the BB internal winning state, or the RB gaming state in the BB gaming state, and is transitioned by BB establishment or RB termination in the BB gaming state, and the BB gaming state termination or BB The game ends when the RB gaming state starts during the gaming state. The BB general gaming state shifts to the general gaming state when it ends when the BB gaming state ends, and shifts to the RB gaming state during the BB gaming state when it ends when the RB gaming state starts during the BB gaming state.

  Note that the RB won internally in the BB general gaming state is carried over until it is established. While this RB is carried over, the RB does not win. In the BB general gaming state, the probability lottery table used when the RB is carried over may have a higher probability of loss than the probability lottery table used when the RB is not carried over. At this time, the probability of replay may be lowered and the winning probability of losing may be set higher accordingly. In this way, the symbol combinations corresponding to the RBs being carried over can be aligned relatively quickly, and the BB gaming state that ends when a predetermined number of medals are paid out can be smoothly terminated.

  The RB gaming state during the BB gaming state shifts when the RB is established during the BB gaming state, and ends when a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times) a game is completed, a predetermined number of times (for example, eight times) a small role winning, or the end of the BB gaming state. To do. Transition from the BB general gaming state to the RB gaming state, the RB gaming state is completed, the transition to the BB general gaming state is repeated, and the transition to the RB gaming state is repeated until the payout number of medals reaches 466 or more. Is the BB gaming state. The RB gaming state during the BB gaming state shifts to the BB general gaming state or the general gaming state when the game is completed by a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times) or after a predetermined number of times (for example, 8 times) small role winnings. Here, the small roles are watermelon, bell, upper / lower cherries, and middle cherries described later. The RB gaming state in the BB gaming state transitions to the BB general gaming state after the end of the BB gaming state after the termination of the BB gaming state, and the general gaming state when the termination condition for the BB gaming state is satisfied. Migrate to

  The RB gaming state in the general gaming state occurs when the RB is established in the general gaming state or in the RB internal winning state, and is terminated by a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times) of game play or a predetermined number of times (for example, 8 times) of small role winnings. . The RB gaming state in the general gaming state shifts to the general gaming state when the game is completed by a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times) or by a small number of winnings of a predetermined number of times (for example, 8 times).

  Note that the RB gaming state is a first type special combination. The BB gaming state is an accessory continuous operation device according to the first type special accessory.

  The gaming machine 1 of the embodiment is configured so that the RB can win even in the RB gaming state (including the RB gaming state during the BB gaming state and the RB gaming state during the general gaming state).

  Note that the general gaming state is a gaming state that is not any of the internal winning state, the BB general gaming state, and the RB gaming state.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the display combination, the symbol combination, and the payout which are different for each BET number will be described. The payout is a predetermined number of medals awarded (paid out) to the player when a predetermined symbol combination is displayed alongside one of the active lines. The information shown in FIG. 13 is stored in the ROM 32 (see FIG. 5) as a display combination specifying table. The display combination of the embodiment includes BB, RB, watermelon, bell, cherry, replay, and loss. BB, RB, and replay become an internal winning combination by internal winning, and become a winning combination when further established. Watermelons, bells, and cherries become internal winning combinations by winning internally, and winning a prize by further winning. “Establishment” and “winning” means that a predetermined symbol or a combination of predetermined symbols corresponding to the internal winning combination is stopped and displayed side by side on any effective line. In the establishment, no medal is paid out at the time of establishment, and the medal is paid out in the winning. Loss is a display combination that is neither a winning combination nor a winning combination because a predetermined symbol or a combination of predetermined symbols corresponding to the internal winning combination is not stopped and displayed along the active line. Depending on the loss, the number of medals paid out is zero. The establishment and winning are collectively referred to as display. The winning combination and winning combination are collectively referred to as a display combination. The display mode of each display combination (a combination of predetermined symbols along the effective line) and the payout at the time of display (hereinafter referred to as “medal payout number”) differ depending on the number of BETs as shown in FIG.

  Establishment of BB is realized by arranging red 7 (symbol 65) -red 7-red 7 or blue 7 (symbol 66) -blue 7-blue 7 along the active line in the general gaming state or the BB internal winning state. . After the next game in which BB is established, the gaming state becomes the BB general gaming state. The BB gaming state is a gaming state that is relatively advantageous to the player. The number of medals paid out due to the establishment of BB is 0.

  The establishment of the RB is that the bell (symbol 63) -Replay (symbol 61) -Replay is aligned along the active line in the general gaming state, the RB internal winning state, the BB general gaming state, or the RB internal winning state during the RB internal winning state. To achieve. After the next game in which RB is established, the gaming state becomes the RB gaming state.

  The establishment of RB in the BB general gaming state may be referred to as JAC in.

  Watermelon, bell and cherry wins can be achieved in all gaming states. These roles are realized by arranging the illustrated symbol combinations along the effective lines. The number of medals paid out for these combinations is as shown in the figure, but differs depending on the number of BETs. Cherry is distributed to middle cherry or upper / lower cherry by stop control. The winning of the upper and lower cherries is realized by stopping and displaying the cherry (symbol 64) on the upper or lower stage of the reel 3L. Further, the winning of the middle cherry is realized by the cherry being stopped and displayed on the middle stage of the reel 3L. Here, the upper stage of the reel 3L is a part where the top line 8b is arranged in the display window 28, and the middle stage of the reel 3L is a part where the center line 8c is arranged in the display window 28. The lower portion of 3L is a portion where the bottom line 8d is arranged in the display window 28.

  The establishment of the replay is realized by replay (symbol 61) -Replay-Replay being arranged along the active line in the game state excluding the RB game state. When the replay is established, the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted are automatically inserted (the game value is automatically given to the player and inserted into the gaming machine 1), so that the player consumes the medals. The next game can be played.

  Next, the “lottery count determination table” will be described with reference to FIG. The lottery count determination table is referred to in step S91 of an internal lottery process (FIG. 29) described later. The lottery count determination table is stored in the ROM 32 (see FIG. 5) as a predetermined data table.

  The number of lotteries means that the numerical value stored in a probability lottery table (see FIG. 15), which will be described later, is subtracted sequentially from one random number extracted by the sampling circuit 37 (see FIG. 5). This is the maximum number of lines to be searched up to a negative winning number line. For example, when the gaming state is the general gaming state, according to the lottery count determination table, the lottery count is determined to be 6. Therefore, up to 6 rows, the winning lottery row for which the subtraction result is negative for the first time is determined. Search sequentially until the bottom.

  Specifically, when the gaming state is the general gaming state and the random number extracted by the sampling circuit 37 is 1000, first, 850 stored in the row of the winning number 1 is subtracted from this 1000. This subtraction result is 150. Next, 4800 stored in the row of the winning number 2 is subtracted from 150. The subtraction result is −4650, and the subtraction result becomes negative for the first time. Therefore, the winning number is determined to be 2. The winning probability at this time is 4800/65536, which is obtained by dividing the lottery value 4800 corresponding to the winning number 2 by the random number extraction number 65536 that is in the range of 0 to 65535.

  The number of lotteries was limited to the number of winning numbers for which the subtraction result was negative for the first time until the bottom of the probability lottery table. If the subtraction result did not become negative, the winning number was determined to be 0. Is done. When the winning number is 0, the internal winning combination is lost as described later. There are cases where the gameability is diversified by making the winning number determination probability different for each gaming state. In the case of other game states, the process for determining the winning number and the winning probability are the same.

  Next, the “probability lottery table” will be described with reference to FIG. The probability lottery table is referred to in step S94 of an internal lottery process (FIG. 29) described later. The probability lottery table is stored in the ROM 32 (see FIG. 5) as a predetermined data table.

  Referring to the probability lottery table, the winning number is determined based on one random number extracted by the sampling circuit 37 (see FIG. 5). The numerical value stored in the probability lottery table is sequentially subtracted from top to bottom according to the gaming state, and the search is performed with the number of lotteries as the limit until the row of the winning number where the subtraction result is negative for the first time.

  For example, when the gaming state is the general gaming state, according to the lottery count determination table (FIG. 14), the lottery count is determined to be 6. Therefore, up to 6 rows, the first subtracted result is the first winning row that is negative. Search sequentially until the bottom of the lottery table. At this time, from one random number extracted by the sampling circuit 37, 850, 4800, 1000, and 850 stored in association with the winning numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the general gaming state, respectively. The lottery values of 9000, 350 and 250 are sequentially subtracted, and the winning number when the subtraction result becomes negative for the first time is set as the determined winning number.

  Alternatively, when the gaming state is the internal winning state, the random numbers extracted by the sampling circuit 37 are stored in association with the winning numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the internal winning state, respectively. The lottery values 4800, 1000, and 9000 are sequentially subtracted, and the winning number when the subtraction result becomes negative for the first time is set as the determined winning number. The winning probability is a result of dividing each lottery value by 65536 which is the number of random numbers belonging to the range of 0 to 65535 which is the random number extraction range. For example, when the gaming state is the internal winning state, since 1000 lottery values correspond to the winning number 3, 1000/65536 is the winning probability. In the case of other gaming states, the process for determining the winning number is the same.

  Note that each gaming state column (vertical column) in the probability lottery table includes a row where a lottery value is stored and a row where no lottery value is stored. The rows in which the lottery values are stored are continuous from the top row of the probability lottery table, and the number of consecutive rows is determined according to the gaming state with reference to the lottery count determination table (FIG. 14). Matches. For example, in the internal game state column, lottery values are stored in the winning numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The number of these winning numbers is 4, and the number of lotteries is 4. It corresponds. The same applies to other game states.

  In addition, the number of lotteries is limited to the number of winning numbers for which the subtraction result is negative for the first time until the row of the probability lottery table is sequentially searched. If the subtraction result does not become negative, the winning number is determined to be 0. Is done. When the winning number is 0, the internal winning combination is lost. The same applies to other game states.

  Next, the configuration of the bit string of the establishment flag will be described with reference to FIG. The establishment flag is 8-bit information for storing the internal winning combination determined with reference to the internal winning combination determination table (FIG. 15) described later.

  The establishment flag is expressed by an 8-digit bit string from bit1 to bit8. The lowest digit of the bit string is bit1, the digit is sequentially increased, and bit8 is the highest digit. When bit 1 is 1, it indicates that the internal winning combination contains cherry, when bit 2 is 1, it indicates that the internal winning combination includes bell, and bit 3 has the bit When it is 1, it indicates that a watermelon is included in the internal winning combination, when the bit 4 bit is 1, it indicates that replay is included in the internal winning combination, and when the bit 6 bit is 1, the internal winning combination is indicated. It indicates that BB is included in the combination, and when bit 7 is 1, it indicates that RB is included in the internal winning combination. A predetermined combination of ON or OFF (0 or 1) of the bits of each digit is referred to as a bit pattern. Each internal winning combination is stored by storing the corresponding bit pattern in the establishment flag. In addition, when the bit of each digit is 0, it indicates that the internal winning combination corresponding to each digit is not included. In addition, bit5 and bit8 are unused bit storage areas that are not used. However, the number of display combinations set in the gaming machine 1 is further increased, and bit5 or bit8 indicates the internal winning of the increased display combination. May be used.

  If the establishment flag is expressed by such a bit string configuration, a plurality of internal winning combinations can be permitted at a time. Also, like BB and RB, the internal winning combination that can be carried over after the next game is not cleared by clearing bit 6 and bit 7 of the establishment flag even when the RAM is cleared at the end of the game or at the start of the next game. , You can remember the carry-over of the internal winning role. The carryover of the internal winning combination is not memorized by not clearing the bits 6 and 7 of the establishment flag (does not carry over), and a flag having a different bit string from the establishment flag is provided. You may make it memorize | store (carry over) by the bit pattern stored in.

  When all the bits of the establishment flag are 0, it indicates that the establishment flag does not include any internal winning combination.

  Next, the “internal winning combination determination table” will be described with reference to FIG. The internal winning combination determination table is referred to in S98 of the internal lottery process (FIG. 29) described later. The internal winning combination determination table is stored in the ROM 32 (see FIG. 5) as a predetermined data table.

  The internal winning combination is determined in step S98 of FIG. 29 based on the gaming state and the winning number determined based on the lottery value determined with reference to the probability lottery table (FIG. 15). The table is referenced and determined. For example, when the gaming state is the general gaming state and the winning number is 4, the determined internal winning combination is the internal winning combination column in the column where the gaming state is the general gaming state and the winning number is 4 Replay is determined from the information stored at the intersection. At this time, the bit pattern of the establishment flag is “00001000” from the information stored in the intersection of the row where the winning number is 4 in the column of the establishment flag in the column where the gaming state is the general gaming state. Is determined. The process for determining the internal winning combination and the bit pattern of the establishment flag in other game states and other winning numbers is the same.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 18, the stop table group selected based on the gaming state and the internal winning combination will be described. The stop table group is a sliding frame number determination process included in a process of a reel stop control process (S113 in FIG. 30) to be described later, and determines the number of sliding frames when the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are controlled to stop. A collection of stop tables. A specific example of the stop table will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20 described later.

  For example, when the gaming state is the general gaming state and the internal winning combination is BB, the stop table group selected corresponding to this is the BB establishment possible stop table group. The BB establishment possible stop table group is a set of BB establishment possible stop tables in which establishment of BB is permitted in accordance with a player's stop operation. The same applies to the process in which the stop table group is selected in accordance with the player's stop operation in the case of other game states and in the case of other internal winning combinations.

  The BB establishment possible stop table group selected when the gaming state is the BB internal winning state includes a red 7BB establishment possible stop table and a blue 7BB stop table. The red 7BB establishment possible stop table is a stop table in which red 7 (symbol 65) -red 7-red 7 is stopped and displayed along the active line regardless of the timing of the player's stop operation. The blue 7BB establishment possible stop table is a stop table in which blue 7 (symbol 66) -blue 7-blue 7 is stopped and displayed along the active line regardless of the timing of the player's stop operation.

  The RB establishment possible stop table group is a set of RB establishment possible stop tables, and the RB establishment possible stop table is a stop table in which establishment of RB is permitted in accordance with a player's stop operation.

  The watermelon winning stop table group is a set of watermelon winning stop tables, and the watermelon winning stop table is a stop table in which watermelon winning is allowed in accordance with a player's stop operation.

  The bell winning possible stop table group is a set of bell winning possible stop tables, and the bell winning possible stop table is a stop table that allows a bell winning regardless of the player's stop operation.

  The cherry winning stop table group is a set of the middle cherry winning stop table and the upper / lower cherry winning stop table. The middle cherry winning stop table and the upper / lower cherry winning stop table are the player's stop operations. This is a stop table in which winning of the middle cherry or the upper / lower cherries is allowed by the stop control according to.

  The replay establishment possible stop table group is a set of replay establishment possible stop tables, and the replay establishment possible stop table is a stop table in which establishment of a replay is permitted regardless of a player's stop operation.

  The non-displayable stop table group is a set of non-displayable stop tables, and the non-displayable stop table is a stop table that does not allow display of any display combination regardless of the player's stop operation.

  Next, an example of a “stop table” stored in the ROM 32 (see FIG. 5) of the main control circuit 71 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The stop table shows stop operation positions and stop control positions of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. The stop operation position is the symbol (specifically, the center of the symbol) that is located on the center line 8c when the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R provided corresponding to the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are operated. Represents the code number of a symbol located above the center line 8c and whose center is closest to the position of the center line 8c. The stop control position represents a code number of a symbol that is stopped and displayed at the position of the center line 8c when the reel on which the stop operation is performed stops. Here, in the embodiment, the maximum number of so-called sliding frames is four. Referring to FIG. 19A, for example, when the stop button 7R is operated when the cherry of the code number 14 (symbol 64) reaches the position of the center line 8c during the rotation of the reel 3R, the code number The number of sliding symbols can be determined so that the reel 3R is stopped and controlled so that 12 cherries (symbol 64) are stopped and displayed at the position of the center line 8c.

  The stop table includes a BB establishment possible stop table included in the BB establishment possible stop table group, an RB establishment possible stop table included in the RB establishment possible stop table group, a replay establishment possible stop table included in the replay establishment possible stop table group, The watermelon winning stop table included in the watermelon winning stop table group, the bell winning stop table included in the bell winning stop table group, the medium cherry winning stop table and the upper and lower cherries included in the cherry winning stop table group There are a non-displayable stop table included in the winning possible stop table and the non-displayable stop table group.

  FIG. 19A shows an example of a replay establishment possible stop table included in the replay establishment possible stop table group shown in FIG. This table is used when the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are stopped and controlled so that replay is established when the internal winning combination is replay.

  In FIG. 19 (1), the stop control position of the reel 3L is one of the code numbers 01, 04, 09, 13, and 17. In the symbol array shown in FIG. 11, all symbols corresponding to positions one code number 01, 04, 09, 13, 17 are “Replay” (symbol 61).

  In FIG. 19 (1), the stop control position of the reel 3C is one of the code numbers 01, 04, 09, 13, and 18. In the symbol array shown in FIG. 11, all symbols corresponding to code numbers 01, 04, 09, 13, and 18 are “Replay” (symbol 61).

  In FIG. 19 (1), the stop control position of the reel 3R is any one of the code numbers 04, 08, 12, 16, and 21. In the symbol array shown in FIG. 11, all symbols corresponding to positions one code number 04, 08, 12, 16, 21 are “Replay” (symbol 61).

  As described above, when the replay establishment possible stop table shown in FIG. 19 (1) is used for stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, the replay (symbol 61) along the validated cross-down line 8e. ) -Replay-Replay is stopped and displayed side by side, and replay can be established.

  When the replay establishment possible stop table is used for the stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, three replays (symbol 61) are stopped and displayed along the cross-down line 8e, and the replay is always established. be able to. In other words, in the embodiment, when the replay is won internally, the replay can be established without fail. This is related to the arrangement of replay (symbol 61) in the symbol array shown in FIG. In the embodiment, the maximum number of sliding frames is set to 4 frames, and if there is a symbol that can display a display combination in a range of 4 frames from the position where the stop operation is performed, it is possible to draw on the effective line. ing. Referring to FIG. 11, in the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, the Replay (symbol 61) has a symbol arrangement that is always arranged within the range of four frames. For this reason, when the replay establishment possible stop table is used for the stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, the Replay (symbol 61) is arranged along the effective line regardless of the stop operation at any position above. It is possible to stop display with. That is, basically, replay does not cause so-called omission (inability to display the determined internal winning combination).

  FIG. 19 (2) shows an example of the non-displayable stop table included in the non-displayable stop table group shown in FIG. This table is used when the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are stopped and controlled so that no winning combination is won when the internal winning combination is lost.

  In FIG. 19 (2), the stop control position of the reel 3L is any one of the code numbers 01, 04, 09, 13, and 17. In the symbol array shown in FIG. 11, all symbols corresponding to positions one code number 01, 04, 09, 13, 17 are “Replay” (symbol 61).

  In FIG. 19 (2), the stop control position of the reel 3C is any one of the code numbers 01, 04, 09, 13, and 18. In the symbol array shown in FIG. 11, all symbols corresponding to code numbers 01, 04, 09, 13, and 18 are “Replay” (symbol 61).

  Further, in FIG. 15B, the stop control position of the reel 3R is any one of the code numbers 02, 06, 10, 14, and 18. In the symbol array shown in FIG. 7, symbols corresponding to the positions one code number 02, 06, 10, 14, 18 are all bells (symbol 63).

  A bell winning stop table (not shown) is used when stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed so that the bell wins when the internal winning combination is a bell. In the bell winning stop table, the bell can be won even if the stop operation is performed at any stop operation position on the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. This is related to the arrangement of the bell (symbol 63) in the symbol array shown in FIG.

  The cherry winning stop table (not shown) is used to stop and control the reel 3L so that the middle cherry or the upper and lower cherries win when the internal winning combination is cherry. In the middle cherry winning stop table and the upper / lower cherry winning stop table, the middle cherry or the upper / lower cherries can be awarded only when the stop operation is performed at the predetermined stop operation position on the reel 3L. When the stop operation is performed at a stop operation position other than the predetermined stop operation position, the middle cherry and the upper / lower cherries cannot be won.

  In the embodiment, even when watermelon and cherry are selected as the internal winning combination and the winning possible stop table is selected, it may not be possible to win. This is related to the arrangement of watermelon (symbol 62) and cherry (symbol 64) in the symbol array shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 11, in the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, the watermelons (symbol 62) are not necessarily arranged in a pattern arrangement within the range of 4 frames. In the reel 3L, code numbers 02, 07, 17, The reels 3C are arranged only at the code numbers 03, 07, and 15 and the reels 3R are arranged only at the code numbers 02, 10, and 18. For this reason, depending on the stop operation position, the watermelon (symbol 62) cannot be stopped along the effective line. In other words, the watermelon is a role that can cause a so-called oversight. Similarly, referring to FIG. 11, in the reel 3L, the cherry (symbol 64) is arranged only at the positions of the code numbers 11 and 20, and is necessarily arranged within the range of four frames. It is not an array. Therefore, depending on the stop operation position, the cherry (symbol 64) cannot be stopped and displayed on the reel 3L. In other words, the cherry is a display that can cause so-called missing.

  In the embodiment, watermelons and cherries have been described as examples of internal winning combinations that can be missed, but BB is also an internal winning combination that can be missed. That is, referring to FIG. 11, red 7 (symbol 65) and blue 7 (symbol 66) are all in a symbol arrangement in which the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are necessarily arranged within the range of four frames. Not. For this reason, depending on the stop operation position, red 7 (symbol 65) and blue 7 (symbol 66) may not be stopped at the active line.

  FIG. 20 (3) shows an example of a BB establishment possible stop table included in the BB establishment possible stop table group shown in FIG. This table is used when the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are controlled to stop so that BB is established when the internal winning combination is BB.

  In FIG. 20 (3), when the stop control position of the reel 3R is the code number 06, the corresponding symbol is red 7 (symbol 65). When the stop control position of the reel 3C is the code number 16, the corresponding symbol is blue 7 (symbol 66).

  As described above, when the BB establishment possible stop table shown in FIG. 20 (3) is used for the stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, red 7 (symbol 65) along the activated center line 8c. ) -Red 7-Red 7 or Blue 7 (symbol 66) -Blue 7-Blue 7 are stopped and displayed side by side, and BB can be established.

<Point determination table>

  Next, a point determination table stored in the program ROM 75 of the sub control circuit 72 will be described with reference to FIG. This point determination table is used when determining points. The point table defines the number of sliding frames and point data determined corresponding to the number of sliding frames.

  For example, when the stop switch 7R is operated when the cherry of the code number 16 (symbol 64) reaches the position of the center line 8c during the rotation of the reel 3C, the number of sliding symbols is determined. 64) is determined so as to stop and control the reel 3R so as to stop display at the position of the center line 8c.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the point data is a point for performing an effect on the liquid crystal display device 5 or the like, and is determined in accordance with the number of sliding symbols drawn in by the stop control. The point data is determined based on a command transmitted from the main control circuit 71. For example, there is no pull-in due to stop control, and the point data is pointed with respect to the number of sliding frames “0” (so-called bitter press). It is determined that “20” is given.

  Next, the mission effect data determination table stored in the program ROM 75 of the sub control circuit 72 will be described with reference to FIG. This mission effect data determination table is used when determining a plurality of mission effect data for instructing a stop operation. In the effect table, a game state and effect data determined in accordance with the game state are defined.

  <Operation of Main Control Circuit 71: Main Routine>

  Next, control performed by the CPU 31 of the main control circuit 71 will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  With reference to FIG. 26, the reset interruption process performed by CPU31 of the main control circuit 71 is demonstrated. The CPU 31 turns on the power and applies a voltage to the reset terminal to generate a reset interrupt, and sequentially performs the reset interrupt processing stored in the ROM 32 based on the occurrence of the reset interrupt. It is configured.

  When the power is turned on, first, the CPU 31 performs an initialization process (step S1). In this initialization process, a process of restoring the register data and execution address stored in the RAM 33 when the power is shut off is performed. Also, in this initialization process, the input of the setting switch is checked, and if it is determined that the setting switch is on, the setting value is changed. Specifically, any one of the set values “1” to “6” is stored in the set value storage area of the RAM based on the input of the reset switch and the start switch.

  Next, the CPU 31 clears the designated storage area in the RAM 33 (step S2). As a result, the data stored in the internal winning combination storing area of the RAM 33 is cleared.

  Next, the CPU 31 performs a bonus operation monitoring process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 27 (step S3). In this bonus operation monitoring process, when the BB is operating and the RB is not operating, a process for starting the RB is performed.

  Next, the CPU 31 performs a medal acceptance / start check process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 28 (step S4). In the medal acceptance / start check process, the insertion number counter is updated by checking the medal sensor 22S and the bet switches 11S and 12S, the input of the start switch 6S is checked, and the like.

  Next, the CPU 31 extracts a random value and stores it in the random value storage area (step S5). Specifically, random number values are extracted by the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37 and stored in the random value storage area of the RAM 33.

  Next, the CPU 31 performs a gaming state monitoring process (step S6). Specifically, if the RB operating flag is ON, an identifier (flag) indicating the RB gaming state is stored in the RAM 33, and if the RB operating flag is OFF, the identifier indicating the general gaming state is stored in the RAM 33. Is done.

  Next, the CPU 31 performs an internal lottery process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 29 (step S7). In this internal lottery process, it is determined whether the extracted random number value belongs to the numerical range defined in the internal lottery table, and a process of determining an internal winning combination based on the determination result is performed.

  Next, the CPU 31 transmits a start command to the sub control circuit 72 (step S8). The start command includes data such as an internal winning combination and a gaming state.

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not 4.1 seconds have elapsed since the start of the previous reel rotation (step S9). When it is determined that 4.1 seconds have not elapsed since the start of the previous reel rotation (step S9: NO), the CPU 31 digests the waiting time (step S10). Specifically, the process waits for 4.1 seconds after the start of the previous reel rotation without performing the subsequent processing.

  The CPU 31 requests the start of rotation of all reels after step S10 or when it is determined in step S9 that 4.1 seconds have elapsed since the start of rotation of the previous reel (step S9: YES) (step S9). S11). When the start of rotation of all reels is requested, processing for starting rotation of the reels is performed in an interrupt process (see FIG. 33) described later.

  Next, the CPU 31 performs a reel stop control process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 30 (step S12). In this reel stop control process, a process of stopping the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R based on the type of the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed, the stop start position of the corresponding reel, the internal winning combination, the priority table, etc. Done. In the embodiment of the present invention, this process functions as a symbol changing means for changing the symbol displayed on each of the plurality of display units based on the detection of the start operation.

  Next, the CPU 31 determines a display combination and a payout number based on the symbol combination table, and stores them in each storage area (step S13). Specifically, the combination of symbols defined in the symbol combination table is compared with the combination of symbols stored in the symbol storage area to determine whether or not they match. When it is determined that they match, the display combination and the number of payouts are determined based on the combination of the symbols, the display combination is stored in the display combination storing area, and the payout number is stored in the payout number counter. If it is determined that they do not coincide, the display combination is lost (that is, the display combination storage area and the payout number counter remain “0”). This process functions as a winning mode determining means for determining a winning mode of a game from a plurality of winning modes by random lottery.

  Next, the CPU 31 transmits a display combination command to the sub control circuit 72 (step S14). The display combination command includes data such as the established display combination.

  Next, the CPU 31 performs medal payout processing (step S15). Specifically, the hopper 40 is controlled and the credit counter is updated based on the payout number counter.

  Next, the CPU 31 updates the bonus end number counter based on the payout number (step S16). Specifically, if the bonus end number counter is 1 or more, the counter is subtracted according to the determined payout number.

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the BB operating flag or the RB operating flag is on (step S17). When it is determined that the BB operating flag or the RB operating flag is on (step S17: YES), the CPU 31 performs a bonus end check process described later with reference to FIG. 31 (step S18). In this bonus end check process, various counters (for example, a bonus end number counter, a possible game number counter, a winning number counter, etc.) stored in the RAM 33 when the bonus is activated are updated, and the bonus is determined based on the update result. Processing to end the operation of is performed.

  If the CPU 31 determines that neither the BB operating flag or the RB operating flag is on in step S17 after step S18 (step S17: NO), the bonus operation described later with reference to FIG. Check processing is performed (step S19). In this bonus operation check process, when the display combination is BB1, BB2, or RB, a process of starting the operation of the bonus is performed.

  In this way, the CPU 31 executes steps S2 to S19 as processing in the unit game, and when step S19 ends, the CPU 31 proceeds to step S2 to execute processing in the next unit game.

  Next, the bonus operation monitoring process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the BB operating flag is on (step S41). If the CPU 31 determines that the BB operating flag is not on (step S41: NO), it ends the bonus operation monitoring process and proceeds to step S4 in FIG.

  When determining that the BB operating flag is on in step S41 (step S41: YES), the CPU 31 determines whether the RB operating flag is on (step S42). When the CPU 31 determines that the RB operating flag is on (step S42: YES), the CPU 31 ends the bonus operation monitoring process and proceeds to step S4 in FIG.

  When the CPU 31 determines in step S42 that the RB operating flag is not on (step S42: NO), the CPU 31 performs RB operating processing based on the bonus operating table (step S43). Specifically, the RB operating flag is turned on, 12 is stored in the possible game number counter, and 8 is stored in the possible winning number counter. Thus, in the present embodiment, if the BB is in operation, the RB operation is immediately started in the next unit game even if the RB operation ends, and the RB operation is continuously performed. ing. When this process ends, the bonus operation monitoring process ends, and the process proceeds to step S4 in FIG.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 28, the medal acceptance / start check process will be described.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the automatic insertion counter is 0 (step S51). The automatic insertion counter is data for identifying whether or not Replay 1 or Replay 2 has been established in the previous unit game, and for specifying the number of insertions in the previous unit game.

  When the CPU 31 determines in step S51 that the automatic insertion counter is not 0 (step S51: NO), the CPU 31 copies the automatic insertion counter to the insertion number counter (step S52). At this time, addition of the insertion number counter is prohibited. Next, the CPU 31 transmits a bet command to the sub control circuit 72 (step S53).

  After step S53 or when it is determined in step S51 that the automatic insertion counter is 0 (step S51: YES), the CPU 31 determines whether or not it is a charging process (step S54). Specifically, when the medal sensor 22S or the bet switches 11S and 12S are on, it is determined that the insertion process is being performed. Further, when the bet switches 11S and 12S are ON, based on the type of the bet switches 11S and 12S, the inserted number counter for counting the inserted number, and the credit counter for counting the number of credited medals. A value to be added to the insertion number counter is calculated.

  When the CPU 31 determines in step S54 that it is the insertion process (step S54: YES), it updates the insertion number counter (step S55). In this process, when addition of the inserted number counter is prohibited, the credit counter is updated instead of the inserted number counter.

  Next, the CPU 31 transmits a bet command to the sub control circuit 72 (step S56). The bet command includes data on the number of inserted sheets.

  The CPU 31 determines whether or not the insertion number counter is 3 after step S56 or when it is determined in step S54 that it is not the insertion process (step S54: NO) (step S57). When the CPU 31 determines that the insertion number counter is not 3 (step S57: NO), the CPU 31 proceeds to step S54.

  When the CPU 31 determines that the insertion number counter is 3 in step S57 (step S57: YES), the CPU 31 prohibits addition of the insertion number counter and determines whether or not the start lever 6 has been tilted (step S58). ). When determining that the start lever 6 is not tilted (step S58: NO), the CPU 31 proceeds to step S54. If the CPU 31 determines that the start lever 6 has been tilted (step S58: YES), it ends the medal acceptance / start check process, and proceeds to step S5 in FIG.

  Next, the internal lottery process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines the type of the internal lottery table and the number of lotteries based on the gaming state and the internal lottery table determination table (step S91).

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the RB flag is stored in the carryover combination storage area (step S92). When determining that the RB flag is stored in the carryover combination storage area (step S92: YES), the CPU 31 changes the number of lotteries to 7 (step S93). As a result, when there is a carryover combination in the general gaming state, the RB is not determined redundantly.

  The CPU 31 sets the same value as the number of lotteries as the winning number after step S93 or when it is determined in step S92 that the RB flag is not stored in the carryover combination storage area (step S92: NO) (step S94). ).

  Next, the CPU 31 compares the random number stored in the random value storage area with the lower limit value and the upper limit value corresponding to the winning number (step S95). Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the random number value is not less than the lower limit value and not more than the upper limit value (step S96).

  When determining that the random number value is not less than the lower limit value and not more than the upper limit value in step S96 (step S96: YES), the CPU 31 stores the set winning number in the winning number storage area of the RAM 33 (step S97). The winning number storage area has an initial value of 0, and is overwritten sequentially by performing this process.

  Next, the CPU 31 refers to the internal winning combination determination table (FIG. 17) and determines an internal winning combination based on the winning number (step S98). Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is RB (step S99). When determining that the internal winning combination is RB (step S99: YES), the CPU 31 stores a flag in the carryover combination storing area based on the internal winning combination (step S100).

  CPU 31 stores the logical sum of the internal winning combination and the carryover combination storing area in the internal winning combination storing area after step S100 or when it is determined in step S99 that the internal winning combination is not RB (step S99: NO). (Step S101). For example, if the RB is carried over and the bell is determined, the data in the internal winning combination storing area is “00010010”.

  After step S101 or when it is determined in step S96 that the random number value is not less than the lower limit value and not less than the upper limit value, the CPU 31 subtracts 1 from the number of lotteries (step S102).

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the number of lotteries is 0 (step S103). When the CPU 31 determines that the number of lotteries is not 0 (step S103: NO), the CPU 31 proceeds to step S94 described above.

  When determining that the number of lotteries is 0 in step S103 (step S103: YES), the CPU 31 stores the logical sum of the internal winning combination and the carryover combination storage area in the internal winning combination storage area (step S104). As a result of this processing, if the data in the internal winning combination storing area is “00000000”, “00100000”, “01000000”, or “10000000”, the game is lost. When this process ends, the internal lottery process ends, and the process proceeds to step S7 in FIG.

  In the internal lottery process, all winning numbers are searched until the number of lotteries is updated to 0. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the winning number until the number of lotteries is updated to 0. In the case where the determination is made, a configuration in which the remaining winning numbers are not searched can be applied, and the processing can be speeded up.

  Next, the reel stop control process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not a valid stop button has been pressed (step S111). When determining that the effective stop button is not pressed (step S111: NO), the CPU 31 repeats the process of step S111. At this time, it is determined whether or not a valid stop button has been pressed, and whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed since the start switch 6S was turned on is determined. Good (for automatic stop).

  When the CPU 31 determines that a valid stop button has been pressed in step S111 (step S111: YES), the CPU 31 specifies the type of the stop button and the symbol counter of the reel, and the subsequent press operation of the stop button. And the number of sliding symbols is determined based on the internal winning combination stored in the internal winning combination storing area and the priority table (step S112). In this process, the most appropriate of all symbol positions within the range of 4 frames, which is the maximum number of sliding symbols, based on the stop start position, the internal winning combination stored in the internal winning combination storing area, and the priority table. The symbol position is determined, and the number of sliding symbols up to the symbol position is determined.

  Next, the CPU 31 determines a planned stop position based on the determined number of sliding symbols and the current symbol position (step S113). For example, if the determined number of sliding symbols is “0” and the current symbol position (ie, stop start position) is “16”, the planned stop position is determined to be “16”. When the scheduled stop position is determined, a process for stopping the rotation of the reel is performed based on the planned stop position in an interrupt process (see FIG. 33) described later. It should be noted that the number of sliding pieces and the scheduled stop position are in an equivalent relationship because one is determined and the other is also determined.

  Next, the CPU 31 transmits a reel stop command to the sub control circuit 72 (step S114). The reel stop command includes data such as the type of the stopped reel.

  Next, the CPU 31 updates the symbol storage area based on the scheduled stop position (step S115). That is, the symbol identifier displayed on the display window for the reel to be stopped is stored in all symbol storage areas.

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not there is a stop button for which the pressing operation is valid (step S116). When the CPU 31 determines that there is a stop button for which the pressing operation is valid (step S116: YES), the CPU 31 proceeds to step S111. If the CPU 31 determines that there is no stop button for which the pressing operation is valid (step S116: NO), it ends the reel stop control process and proceeds to step S13 in FIG.

  Next, the bonus operation check process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the display combination is BB (step S141). When the CPU 31 determines that the display combination is BB (step S141: YES), the CPU 31 performs BB operation processing based on the bonus operation table (step S142). Specifically, the BB operating flag in the RAM 33 is turned on, and 450 is stored in the bonus end number counter.

  When the CPU 31 determines in step S141 that the display combination is not BB (step S141: NO), it determines whether or not the display combination is RB (step S143). When it is determined that the display combination is RB (step S143: YES), the CPU 31 performs RB operation processing based on the bonus operation table (step S144).

  After step S144 or after step S142, the CPU 31 clears the carryover combination storage area (step S145). When this process ends, the bonus operation check process ends, and the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG.

  When the CPU 31 determines in step S143 that the display combination is not RB (step S143: NO), the CPU 31 determines whether or not the display combination is replay (step S146). When determining that the display combination is not replay (step S146: NO), the CPU 31 ends the bonus operation check process and proceeds to step S2 in FIG.

  If the CPU 31 determines in step S146 that the display combination is replay (step S146: YES), the CPU 31 copies the insertion number counter to the automatic insertion counter (step S147). When this process ends, the bonus operation check process ends, and the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG.

  Next, the bonus end check process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not a winning is achieved (step S151). When determining that a winning has been established (step S151: YES), the CPU 31 determines whether or not the BB operating flag is on (step S152).

  When determining that the BB operating flag is on in step S152 (step S152: YES), the CPU 31 determines whether or not the bonus end number counter is 0 (step S153).

  If the CPU 31 determines in step S153 that the bonus end number counter is 0 (step S153: YES), the CPU 31 performs processing at the end of RB (step S154). Specifically, the RB operating flag is turned off, and the winning possible number counter and the possible gaming number counter are cleared. Next, the CPU 31 performs processing at the end of BB (step S155). Specifically, the BB operating flag is turned off and the bonus end number counter is cleared. When this process ends, the bonus end check process ends, and the process proceeds to step S19 in FIG.

  When the CPU 31 determines in step S152 that the BB operating flag is not on (step S152: NO), or when it is determined in step S153 that the bonus end number counter is not 0 (step S153: NO), a winning is possible. The count counter is decremented by 1 (step S156). Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the winning possible number counter is 0 (step S157).

  When the CPU 31 determines that the prize winning number counter is not 0 in step S157 (step S157: NO), or when it is determined in step S151 that no winning is established (step S151: NO), the game possible number counter 1 is subtracted (step S158).

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the game possible number counter is 0 (step S159). If the CPU 31 determines that the possible game number counter is not 0 (step S159: NO), the CPU 31 ends the bonus end check process and proceeds to step S19 in FIG.

  When the CPU 31 determines that the possible game number counter is 0 in step S159 (step S159: YES), or when it is determined in step S157 that the possible game number counter is 0 (step S157: YES), the RB ends. Time processing is performed (step S160). When this process ends, the bonus end check process ends, and the process proceeds to step S26 in FIG.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 33, an interrupt process with a cycle of 1.1173 ms, which is performed under the control of the CPU 31 of the main control circuit 71 will be described.

  First, the CPU 31 saves the register (step S181). Next, the CPU 31 performs input port check processing (step S182). Specifically, a signal input to the input port is checked by each switch or the like.

  Next, the CPU 31 performs a reel control process (step S183). Specifically, if a reel rotation start request is made, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R start to rotate and rotate at a constant speed. If the planned stop position is determined, the rotation of the relevant reel is decelerated and stopped after the symbol counter of the relevant reel is updated to the same value as the planned stop position. For example, if the symbol counter is “0” and the scheduled stop position is “4”, the reel rotation is stopped when the symbol counter is updated to “4”. In the embodiment of the present invention, this processing functions as a pull-in control means for pulling a symbol corresponding to the winning mode into the winning line by a predetermined number of sliding symbols and stopping it.

  Next, the CPU 31 performs a lamp / 7SEG drive process (step S184). Specifically, processing such as lighting of the bet lamps 9a, 9b, 9c based on the insertion number counter and display of the number of payouts on the display unit 17 is performed.

  Next, the CPU 31 restores the register (step S185). When this process ends, the interrupt process with a cycle of 1.1173 ms ends.

<Operation of Gaming Machine: Sub Control Circuit 72>
When various processes are executed by the main routine in the main control circuit 71, results and contents corresponding to the processes are input to the sub-control circuit 72 as commands and data. In the sub control circuit 72, an effect processing routine and the like are executed independently. Then, an effect image or the like based on the command is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 by executing the effect processing routine. For example, when a command indicating the insertion of medals is input, an effect image that prompts the user to operate the start lever 6 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. In addition, with the effect from the liquid crystal display device 5 or independently, the effect by the output of light from the LED lamp 29 and the effect by the output of sound from the speakers 21L, 21R, and 21B are performed.

  Next, the control operation of the sub control circuit 72 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. First, with reference to FIG. 34, a reset interrupt process performed by the sub control circuit 72 will be described. An image control circuit 81 (hereinafter referred to as a sub CPU 74) of the sub control circuit 72 generates a reset interrupt when the power is turned on and a voltage is applied to the reset terminal. Based on the occurrence, the reset interrupt processing stored in the program ROM 75 is sequentially performed.

  First, the sub CPU 74 initializes the work RAM 76, the image control work RAM 83, the video RAM 87, and the like (step S201). Next, the sub CPU 74 performs a reel stop effect process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 35 (step S202). In this reel stop effect process, effect data to be executed by the liquid crystal display device 5, the LED lamp 29, or the speakers 21L, 21R, and 21B is determined according to the type and information of the received command.

In this point data restoration process, the sub CPU 74 displays a code image 92 obtained by encoding the counted points on the liquid crystal display device 5, and the microcomputer 322 of the mobile phone 300 displays the code image 92 captured by the CCD camera 308. Playback is performed to restore the number of points, the point data restoration process is terminated, and the reset interrupt process is terminated. In the embodiment of the present invention, this processing functions as a restoration unit that reproduces the captured code image and restores point data.

  Next, the reel stop effect process will be described with reference to FIG. In the reel stop effect process, first, the sub CPU 74 adds 1 to the stop reel number counter value (step S211). The stop reel number counter value is a counter for counting the number of stopped reels, and is incremented by 1 every time a reel stop command is received. Next, the sub CPU 74 sets a stop reel identifier based on the reel stop command (step S212).

  The sub CPU 74 determines whether or not it is the first stop (step S213). When the sub CPU 74 determines that it is not the first stop (step S213: NO), the process proceeds to step S215. When it is determined that it is the first stop (step S213: YES), the sub CPU 74 proceeds to step S214.

Thereby, in the above-described stop operation instruction process (step S203 in FIG. 34), an effect corresponding to the third stop operation is executed. When this process ends, the sub CPU 74 ends the reel stop process and proceeds to step S204 in FIG.

  Next, the stop operation instruction process will be described with reference to FIG. In the stop operation instruction process, first, the sub CPU 74 determines whether or not a predetermined gaming state is set (step S221). When the sub CPU 74 determines that it is not in the predetermined gaming state (step S221: NO), it moves to step 202 in FIG. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 74 determines that it is in a predetermined gaming state (step S221: YES), it moves to step S222.

  Next, the sub CPU 74 extracts a mission corresponding to a predetermined gaming state (step S222). Specifically, the sub CPU 74 generates one piece of effect data based on the reel stop effect process (see FIG. 35) from the mission effect data table (see FIG. 22) for instructing the player to perform a stop operation. Decide. When the sub CPU 74 finishes this process, the sub CPU 74 proceeds to step S223.

  Further, the sub CPU 74 displays a mission corresponding to a predetermined gaming state (step 223). Specifically, the sub CPU 74 outputs a command to the image control circuit IC 82 based on the effect data determined in step S223, and the liquid crystal display device 5 displays the determined mission (FIG. 23A). reference). When the sub CPU 74 ends this process, the stop operation instruction process ends, and the process proceeds to step 204 in FIG.

  Thereby, even a player who is not good at pushing can give meaning to the pushing action, so the game is not monotonous and various effects can be performed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 37, the point giving process will be described. In the point grant process, first, the sub CPU 74 determines whether or not a mission corresponding to a predetermined stop time is displayed (step S231). When the sub CPU 74 determines that the mission corresponding to the predetermined stoppage is not displayed (step S231: NO), the sub CPU 74 proceeds to step S202 in FIG. When the sub CPU 74 determines that a mission corresponding to a predetermined stop is displayed (step S231: YES), the sub CPU 74 proceeds to step S232.

  Next, the sub CPU 74 determines whether or not a predetermined symbol has been stopped and displayed (step S232). Specifically, the sub CPU 74 determines whether or not a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed on a specific winning line in accordance with a stop operation instruction by the mission. When the sub CPU 74 determines that the predetermined symbol is not stopped and displayed (step S232: NO), the sub CPU 74 proceeds to step S202 in FIG. When the sub CPU 74 determines that the predetermined symbol has been stopped and displayed (step S232: YES), the sub CPU 74 proceeds to step 233.

  Further, the sub CPU 74 counts the sliding pieces (step S233). Specifically, the sub CPU 74 counts the number of sliding frames by the pull-in control executed in the process of step S183 in FIG. When the sub CPU 74 finishes this process, the sub CPU 74 proceeds to step S234.

  In step S234, the sub CPU 74 determines whether or not the number of sliding frames is within 4 frames (step S234). When the sub CPU 74 determines that the number of sliding frames is not within 4 frames (step S234: NO), the sub CPU 74 proceeds to step S202 in FIG. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 74 determines that the number of sliding frames is within 4 frames (step S234: YES), the sub CPU 74 proceeds to step S235.

  Next, the sub CPU 74 gives points according to the number of sliding frames (step S235). Specifically, the sub CPU 74 gives points by referring to the point data (see FIG. 21) according to the number of sliding symbols drawn in on the condition that the symbol is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position according to the mission. The number of points given is temporarily stored in the work RAM 76. When this process ends, the sub CPU 74 proceeds to step S236.

  Further, the sub CPU 74 extracts a point number display image (step S236), and the sub CPU 74 outputs the point number to the liquid crystal display device (step S237).
