Description

  The present invention relates to a game machine represented by a spinning machine (slot machine) and a ball game machine (pachinko machine).

  Some gaming machines such as slot machines have a game state (for example, a so-called bonus) in which the internal winning probability of the winning combination is set, for example, in order to make the player more entertaining. In such a game stand, when a bonus combination is won internally, the announcement effect indicating that the bonus is internally won is scheduled to be executed, and when the execution timing comes, the announcement effect is executed. Is known (for example, Patent Document 1).

  Most of the game tables represented by the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 are often notified of the lottery result in the game. For example, it may be possible to notify the lottery result to several games ahead, but when the bonus is won internally, it is desirable to notify the lottery result as soon as possible to reduce the loss of the player. In addition, even when a privilege other than a bonus is given, for example, when notifying that a transition to a notification game advantageous to a player who notifies the winning procedure of a winning combination after the bonus ends, a so-called AT or the like is notified in the game. Or it was informing to match the bonus end production.

  In this case, if the notice is made before the bonus is ended, the player will not stop the game. In the game, the lottery result in the game must be notified, and informing the game lottery results up to the previous game later may cause the player to leave the game.

  However, in order to inform the latter of the lottery results later, there are cases where it is preferable for the effect to increase the player's expectation step by step by executing continuous image effects over several games. However, when notifying the lottery result in the game and notifying the lottery result up to the previous time, there are cases where complicated processing is required due to overlapping of the notification timing. In this way, it is desirable to report both the lottery results up to the previous time and the lottery results in the game in a well-balanced manner, and the reliability of the lottery results, such as whether the lottery is in the game or the previous lottery. There was also a problem of loss of sex.

<Circuit configuration of control unit>
Next, the circuit configuration of the control unit of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a circuit block diagram of the control unit.

The control unit of the slot machine 100 can be broadly divided into main effects according to a main control unit 300 that controls the progress of the game and a command signal (hereinafter simply referred to as “command”) transmitted by the main control unit 300. And a second sub-control unit 500 that controls various devices based on a command transmitted from the first sub-control unit 400.
<Main control unit>
First, the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 will be described. The main control unit 300 includes a basic circuit 302 that controls the entire main control unit 300. The basic circuit 302 includes a CPU 304, control program data, lottery data used in the internal lottery of a winning combination, and reel stop. A ROM 306 for storing a position, a RAM 308 for temporarily storing data, an I / O 310 for controlling input / output of various devices, and a counter timer 312 for measuring time and frequency It is installed. Note that other storage devices may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and this is the same for the first sub-control unit 400 and the second control unit 500 described later. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined cycle output from the crystal oscillator 314b as a system clock. Further, when the power is turned on, the CPU 304 transmits the frequency division data stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 306 to the counter timer 312. The counter timer 312 sets the interrupt time based on the received frequency division data. An interrupt request is transmitted to the CPU 304 at every interrupt time.

In this embodiment, the total number of medals earned during the game is inserted during the game. A game state that exceeds the total number of medals won. In the bonus game state (RT2 mode), in the special combination (bonus combination) internal winning state (RT1 mode), when the symbol combination corresponding to special combination 1 (BB1) or special combination 2 (BB2) is displayed on the active line Migrate to Further, the bonus game state (RT2 mode) ends when a predetermined number of medals exceeding the predetermined number (in this embodiment, 400) are paid out during the game and the bonus game end effect ends. Next, the game shifts to a re-game changing game state (RT3 mode) described below. This bonus game state (RT2 mode) corresponds to an example of the first game state of the present invention, and that a predetermined number of medals are paid out corresponds to an example of the condition for ending the first game state according to the present invention. Further, the bonus game end effect corresponds to an example of the first game state end effect according to the present invention, and the operation of the start lever 135 is not accepted until the bonus game end effect ends, and the bonus game end effect ends. This corresponds to an example of the predetermined reception condition referred to in the present invention. Until the bonus game end effect ends, the operation of the start lever 135 is not accepted, and the end of the bonus game end effect corresponds to an example of the predetermined acceptance condition referred to in the present invention. In addition, when the bonus game state (RT2 mode), the internal winning is made to the duplicate small role D1 or to the small role 32 as a single small role (hereinafter referred to as the single small role 32) regardless of the duplicate small role. Then, if the AT grant lottery obtained is won, a predetermined number of push order notification effects advantageous to the player are performed in the re-game changing game state (RT3 mode) of the transition destination (details will be described later). In the present embodiment, when a single small role 32 is won internally, continuous effects over several games are executed, and whether or not the AT grant lottery is won at the end of the continuous effects. A suggestion message is output (details will be described later). That is, the continuous effect executed in the RT2 mode is an effect for indicating to the player whether or not the privilege after the end of the RT2 mode is given, that is, a push order notification effect advantageous for the player is performed as a privilege. This is an effect to show the player whether or not it will be played. Thereby, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game and improve the player's willingness to play.
<Re-game variation gaming state (RT3 mode)>
The content of the re-game variable gaming state (RT3 mode) is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the internal winning probability of the re-gamer is the internal winning probability of the re-gamer in the normal gaming state (RT0 mode) (this embodiment). Then, it is the gaming state in which the fluctuation is raised more than 8978/65536). Therefore, the re-game changing game state (RT3 mode) of the present embodiment has a higher probability that the game can be continued without inserting medals, and is therefore more advantageous to the player than the normal game state (RT0 mode). It is in a gaming state. The re-game changing game state (RT3 mode) is shifted to a case where medals exceeding a predetermined number (400 in this embodiment) are paid out during the bonus game state (RT2 mode).

  In the present embodiment, in the bonus game state (RT2 mode), when the internal winning is made to the overlapping small role D1, or when the AT grant lottery obtained when the single small role 32 is internally won is won, the bonus gaming state ( (RT2 mode) In a re-game variable gaming state (RT3 mode) that is shifted to after completion, an AT (assist time) game in which a push order notification effect using the liquid crystal display device 157 or the like is executed is performed for a predetermined number of games. ing.

  The AT (assist time) game is set by the first sub-control unit 400 based on the internal winning combination command (command indicating the internal winning combination) transmitted from the main control unit 300. The gaming state set by the control unit 300 is a re-game changing gaming state (RT3 mode). Therefore, the internal winning probability of the re-gamer remains elevated during the AT game, and the AT game is substantially an ART (assist replay time) game.

  In addition, when the internal winning is made in the special role 1 (BB1) or the special role 2 (BB2) during the re-game variable gaming state (RT3 mode), the bonus is obtained through the special winning role (bonus role) internal winning state (RT1 mode). The game state (RT2 mode) is entered. In this case, when there is a remaining number in the AT game number, the previous remaining number is added to the AT game number in the re-game changing game state (RT3 mode) after the bonus game state (RT2 mode) ends.

  The re-game changing game state (RT3 mode) ends when the re-game player 2 (Re-play 2) is won (the symbol combinations corresponding to the re-game player 2 are aligned on the active line), and the normal game state (RT 0). Mode). Although details will be described later, in the push order notification effect of the present embodiment, when the duplicate re-game players 1 to 3 are internally won, the player is notified of the push order that does not win the re-game player 2 (replay 2). In addition, when the internal winning combination of the overlapping small combinations A1 to A9, B1 to B9, or C1 to C9 is made, the player is notified of the pressing order in which the small combination 28 (俵) is always won. Therefore, while the push order notification is being executed during the re-game variation gaming state (RT3 mode) (during AT game), if the stop buttons 137 to 139 are pressed as in the push order notification, it is disadvantageous for the player. There is no transition to the normal gaming state (RT0 mode), and the re-game changing gaming state (RT3 mode) advantageous to the player can be continued for the set number of AT games. In addition, when an internal winning is made to the overlapping small combinations A1 to A9, B1 to B9, or C1 to C9 while the push order notification is being executed, a medal can be surely obtained by winning the small combination 28 (俵). It has become.

  In this embodiment, by executing the push order notification effect during the re-game variation game state (RT3 mode) as described above, the re-game variation game state (RT 3 mode) advantageous to the player is maintained for as long as possible. In addition to continuing, it is possible for the player to reliably acquire more medals than in the normal game. This makes it possible to enhance the interest of the game and improve the player's willingness to play. In addition to the internal winning probability of the combination, the number of AT games to be executed as a result of winning an internal winning combination for the duplicate small combination D1 or winning an AT grant lottery obtained when an internal winning combination for the single small combination 32 is appropriately set. It is also possible to adjust the total number of medals to be paid out to the player. Note that the AT gaming state corresponds to an example of the second gaming state of the present invention.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a lottery table of AT grant lottery obtained when an internal winning combination is given to the single small role 32. This FIG. 10 shows the winning probability of the AT grant lottery (value obtained by dividing the value shown in the table by 65536) according to the number of games (G) in the bonus game state (RT2 mode), and the winner of this AT grant lottery. Then, the number of AT games to be given (navigation times) is shown. The gaming table of the present embodiment is provided with settings 1 to 6 in which the winning probabilities of at least one combination are different as described above. FIG. 10 shows the winning probability of the AT grant lottery according to this setting. For example, when the AT grant lottery is performed during the third game after entering the bonus game state, the winning probability is 6553/65536 when the setting is 1, 3, and 5, and the setting 2, 4, 6 Then it is 1310/65536. When the AT grant winning in the third game is won, a privilege that the AT game is played 20 times is given. In addition to this, for example, the number of AT games to be given varies depending on the above setting, and the degree to which the privilege is given depends on the number of games and the setting of the game stand when the privilege is given. It is also possible to change the advantage of the privilege. By making the content of the privilege granted in this way different according to various factors, the player can guess the setting content of the game stand and improve the interest of the game.
<Outline of production>
Next, the outline of the main effects implemented in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Specifically, the description will focus on the small role notification effect performed in the RT2 mode, the confirmed notification effect performed in the RT2 mode, and the push order notification effect performed in the RT3 mode.
<Director announcement production>
The small role notification effect is an effect that is executed when an internal winning is made for the duplicate small role D2 or an internal winning for the single small role 32 in the bonus gaming state (RT2 mode), and the symbol of the internal winning character is displayed on the liquid crystal. This is an effect of displaying on the display device 157 and notifying the winning combination. For example, when winning the overlapping small combination D2, a winning symbol that can be won is displayed, and when winning the single small combination 32, a watermelon symbol is displayed.

  FIG. 11 shows the contents of the lottery table for the small role notification effect. In the present embodiment, the lottery data differs depending on the presence / absence of the AT winning effect flag. Here, the AT winning effect flag is a flag that is set when the individual small role 32 is won and the AT grant lottery is won during the bonus game, and the AT winning effect flag is set (AT Setting the winning effect flag to ON) means that the push order notification effect is executed in the RT3 mode.

  In the present embodiment, for example, when there is no AT winning effect flag, and when the overlapping small role D2 is won, the small role notification effect 1 for displaying a small habit symbol is 104/128, and the medium leap symbol is displayed. When the small role notification effect 2 is 20/128, and the small role notification effect 3 that displays a large bag design is selected with a probability of 4/128, and there is an AT winning effect flag, The small role notification effect 1 for displaying a small spear symbol is 4/128, the small role notification effect 2 for displaying a medium spear symbol is 64/128, and the small role notification effect 3 for displaying a large spear symbol is 60/128. Selected by probability. That is, when there is an AT winning effect flag, the probability that a large symbol pattern is displayed is higher than when there is no AT winning effect flag. As described above, in the present embodiment, the small role notification effect not only notifies the winning combination (the symbol that constitutes the small role 28) but also the push order executed after the bonus ends depending on the size of the symbol. It shows the possibility of notification production. Further, there is also an object of notifying the player of the possibility of a push order notification effect that is executed after the bonus is completed speculatively through notification of large symbols in the bonus. Thereby, the expectation whether or not the push order notification effect during the player's bonus is executed may be effectively increased.

In the above description, the case where the internal winning is made for the duplicate small combination D2 has been described. That is, when there is an AT winning effect flag and the internal winning combination is given to the single small role 32, the probability that a large watermelon symbol is displayed is higher than when the AT winning effect flag is not provided. . In other words, the small role notification effect not only notifies the winning combination (watermelon symbol constituting the small role 32), but also the possibility of the push order notification effect executed after the bonus ends depending on the size of the symbol. Show. Further, there is also an object of notifying the player of the possibility of a push order notification effect that is executed after the bonus is completed speculatively through notification of large symbols in the bonus. Thereby, the expectation whether or not the push order notification effect during the player's bonus is executed may be effectively increased.
<Aspect of small role announcement effect>
FIG. 12 shows a specific effect mode of the small role notification effect. In the bonus game state, when the small role notification effect is executed on the default screen (upper stage) displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 and the default screen. The lower screen is shown. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the default screen displays the number of acquired medals in the bonus game state (RT2 mode). Here, the unit is displayed as both. Then, when the small role notification effect is executed while the default screen is displayed, the small role symbol (here, the symbol of the bag) having a size corresponding to the lottery result of the small role notification effect is defaulted. Overlay on the screen. The screen shown on the right of the three drawings shown in the lower row is displayed with a larger haze, indicating that the push order notification effect is more likely to be executed after the bonus game state is completed.
<Confirmed notification production>
The confirmed notification effect is an effect for notifying that an internal award is given to an AT grant winning in which an AT is granted in the RT3 mode. In the present embodiment, this final notification effect is executed just before the end of the continuous effect that is executed when the single small role 32 is internally won in the bonus game state (RT2 mode). Further, when this continuous effect is not executed and the above-described notification effect is not performed, a separate notification effect is executed separately. Here, the continuous effect is a continuous effect that is developed over a plurality of games, and is an expectation effect that suggests an advantageous decision for the player. Specifically, the effect is executed by video output from the liquid crystal display device 157, lighting of a decorative lamp, and sound output from a speaker. Further, in the definite notification effect, the AT lamp 190 is turned on and the definite sound is output. In the present embodiment, instead of the bonus game state default screen, an image in which two characters confront each other over three or four games is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157. If the main character wins as a result of the confrontation, it means that the AT grant lottery is won, and that the push order notification effect is executed for a predetermined number of games in the RT3 mode after the bonus ends. . On the other hand, if the result of the confrontation is the defeat of the hero character, it means that there is a high possibility that the AT grant lottery was not won or the AT grant lottery was not won. This means that the push order notification effect (the push order notification effect notified by the continuous effect) is not executed in the RT3 mode, or the possibility of not being executed is generally high.

  FIG. 13 shows the contents of a lottery table for continuous effects. In the present embodiment, the lottery data differs depending on the presence / absence of the AT winning effect flag. As described above, the AT winning effect flag is a flag that is set when the individual small role 32 is won and the AT grant lottery is won during the bonus game, and therefore there is an AT winning effect flag. In such a case, continuous production B or D suggesting winning in the AT grant lottery is selected, and if there is no AT winning effect flag, continuous production A or C suggesting non-win in the AT grant lottery is selected. Selected. For example, when there is an AT winning effect flag, continuous effect B over three games is selected with a probability of 96/128, and continuous effect D over four games is selected with a probability of 32/128. On the other hand, when there is no AT winning effect flag, continuous effect A over three games is selected with a probability of 124/128, and continuous effect C over four games is selected with a probability of 4/128.

  In this embodiment, whether or not the AT award lottery is determined is determined depending on the presence or absence of the AT winning effect flag. Separately, the AT award lottery performed after this is determined depending on the presence or absence of the AT winning effect flag. You may make it provide a difference in the probability of winning. For example, when there is an AT winning effect flag, the probability of winning the AT award lottery is higher than the probability of non-winning, and when there is no AT winning effect flag, the probability of the AT award lottery not winning. An AT grant lottery table may be provided so that is higher than the probability of winning.

  FIG. 14 is a timing chart showing an example of an effect when a continuous effect B over three games is executed. FIG. 14 (a) shows the first game of the continuous production (in the case of the internal winning of the single small role 32 in the game), and FIG. 14 (b) shows the second game of the continuous production (the duplicate small role D2 in the game). FIG. 14 (c) shows the third game of continuous production (in the case where the single small role 32 is internally won in the game).

  In FIG. 14 (a), since a single small role 32 is internally won, a continuous effect (continuous effect 1-1 to continuous effect 1-2) starts after the rotation of the spinning cylinder starts, and the first game effect (continuous effect 1). -1) and a small role notification effect (small role navigation) are executed. In FIG. 14B, the second game of continuous production (continuous production 2-1 to continuous production 2-2) and the small role notification production (small role navigation) are executed. Furthermore, in FIG.14 (c), the 3rd game (continuous production 3-1 and continuous production 3-3) of a continuous production | presentation and a small role notification production (small role navigation) are performed. Specific examples of the continuous production 1-1 and the like are shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 15 is a timing chart of the continuous effect following FIG.

  FIG. 15 (a) shows a timing chart in the case where all the continuous effects shown in FIG. 14 are completed and the fixed notification effect is executed just before the effects are ended. In the present embodiment, a confirmed sound is output as the confirmed notification effect, and the AT lamp 190 is turned on. With this final notification effect, the player can know that a privilege to be notified of the push order in the game after the end of the bonus state is given. In particular, since the AT lamp 190 is controlled so as to continue to light even in a game after the end of the continuous performance, the player can be surely informed. The confirmed notification effect (output of the confirmed sound and lighting of the AT lamp 190) corresponds to an example of the second gaming state transition notification of the present invention. Note that this second gaming state transition notification may be a combination of notifications by a continuous effect (display of a scene where the main character has won or lost).

  FIG. 15B shows a timing chart in the case where the player performs a start operation before the confirmation notification effect shown in FIG. Although the player can know that the above-mentioned privilege has been granted by the above-described confirmation notification effect, in FIG. 15B, the scheduled notification notification effect and execution performed by the start operation are performed. The continuous production is canceled. Therefore, in the game executed after stopping these effects, only the AT lamp 190 is turned on without outputting the determined sound, that is, the determined notification effect different from the determined notification effect is executed. Thereby, it is possible to notify the player that the above-mentioned privilege has already been given in the previous game. The game executed after the stop of the effect corresponds to an example of the predetermined game of the present invention, and lighting of the AT lamp 190 corresponds to an example of the second game state transition notification of the present invention. Here, the AT lamp 190 is turned on after the start of the small role notification effect (small role navigation). In this way, by setting the lighting timing of the AT lamp 190 to be shifted, the player's attention can be directed to the small role notification effect so that the player does not lose.

In addition, in the case where a bonus is given in the game after the bonus state ends, if the final notification effect such as the above-mentioned continuous effect is not made, the player stops the game after the bonus state ends. The player may lose money. In such a case, the AT lamp 190 is turned on during the production accompanying the end of the bonus state. Thereby, it can be notified to the player that the above-mentioned privilege is given.
<Aspect of confirmation notification effect>
FIG. 16 shows effect pattern information over three games when the continuous effect B is selected. In the figure, time elapses from left to right, and the received command shown on the right in the figure becomes a command received later. The continuous production of the present embodiment is reserved as one set of production patterns that define production contents from the current internal winning time to the next internal winning time. That is, the production pattern information d1 is reserved at the time of internal winning of one game, the continuous production of the first game is executed, and the second game refers to the “next internal winning” column of the production pattern information d1 reserved last time. By doing so, the effect pattern information d2 corresponding to the second game is reserved, and the continuous effect of the second game is executed. Similarly, for the third game, by referring to the “next internal winning” field of the previously reserved effect pattern information d2, the effect pattern information d3 corresponding to the third game is reserved, and the third game is continuously displayed. Production is to be executed. Here, the processing performed at the time of receiving the next start operation of the production pattern information d3 includes an instruction of the content of the production after the end of the continuous production and an instruction to confirm the AT lamp flag. Here, the AT lamp flag is a flag that is set when a single small role 32 is won during a bonus game and an AT grant lottery is won. When this flag is set, an effect (an example of the second gaming state transition notification referred to in the present invention) for notifying that the AT grant lottery has been won is executed.

  FIGS. 17 and 18 are diagrams showing a screen example and a confirmed notification effect when the continuous effect B is executed along the effect pattern information shown in FIG. 16.

  An effect in which two characters confront each other is displayed from FIG. 17 to FIG.

  In the lower right of FIG. 17, an effect (continuous effect 3-3) at the time of display determination of the third game during the continuous effect is shown, and a third character appears here. FIG. 18 shows the details of the continuous production 3-3. The third character is on the side of the hero character, the hero character wins, and the text “Victory” is displayed. The AT lamp 190 is turned on simultaneously with the display of the word “Victory”, and a definite sound is output from the speakers 272 and 277. That is, the continuous production 1-1 in FIG. 17 to the continuous production 3-3 (3) in FIG. ) Is made.

  As a result, in the RT3 mode after completion of the RT2 mode, the push order notification effect is executed for a predetermined number of games. In this embodiment, every time an AT grant lottery is won or every time a duplicate small role D1 is won, a predetermined number of times is added to the number of AT navigations described later. Therefore, in the RT3 mode after ending the RT2 mode, Push order notification effects corresponding to the number of times of AT navigation are executed.

  In addition, in FIG. 17, the spear design shown by the continuous production 2-1 and the watermelon design shown by the continuous production 3-1 have shown the small role notification production. In other words, in the present embodiment, even if the continuous production is being executed, if the execution condition of the small role notification production is satisfied (when the internal combination is won for the duplicate small game D2 or the single small game 32), the continuous production is performed. The small role notification effect is executed in a form that does not interfere (for example, a small symbol is displayed at the end of the screen). As a result, the player can enjoy both the continuous effect and the small role notification effect, which can further enhance the interest of the game.

  In the continuous production 3-3 shown in FIG. 17, there is a period during which a player's start operation can be accepted before the confirmation notification production (output of the confirmation sound and lighting of the AT lamp 190). If the player performs a start operation within this period, the final notification effect is stopped and the next game is started. In this case, only the AT lamp 190 is lit without outputting a definite sound during the next and subsequent games performed after the game in which the continuous performance is performed. Only the AT lamp 190 is turned on, which is one aspect of the final notification effect. That is, this final notification effect is executed in a different manner from the final notification effect performed during the continuous performance, whereby the player can not only know that the privilege has been granted, It is possible to know whether or not is given in the game currently being executed.

  In addition, in the RT3 mode after the bonus game is ended, the bonus game may be terminated without executing the above-described notification effect when the push order notification is given. For example, it is a case where the above-described continuous effect is executed in a mode that does not include a privilege grant notification, or a case where the continuous effect is not executed and there is no notification opportunity.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a continuous effect A over three games. FIG. 19 shows an effect in which the two characters shown in FIG. 17 confront each other. In the lower right of FIG. 19, an effect (continuous effect 3-2) at the time of display determination of the third game during the continuous effect is shown. In this continuous production 3-2, the main character is defeated, and the character “defeat” is displayed. At this time, the AT lamp 190 is not turned on, and the definite sound is not output from the speakers 272 and 277. This effect corresponds to an example of an effect that does not include the second gaming state transition notification.

In the case as described above, or in the case of a bonus game state where a continuous presentation is never executed and there is no opportunity for notification, the player does not know whether or not a privilege has been granted. Therefore, even if a privilege is given, it is conceivable that after the bonus game ends, the game is stopped and the player loses. For this reason, when a bonus is given during bonus game but notification to that effect is not executed by the end of the bonus game, the end when the bonus game ends as shown in FIG. During the performance, the AT lamp 190 is turned on and a definite sound is output from the speakers 272 and 277. The lighting of the AT lamp 190 and the output of the final sound during the end effect correspond to an example of the effect indicating the second game state transition notification during the first game state end effect of the present invention. During the bonus game end effect, the player's start operation is not accepted, and a notification that a privilege has been given to the player is executed without being canceled by the player's start operation.
<Performance of continuous performance>
Next, the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous effect according to this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the bonus gaming state (RT2 mode) ends when more than 400 predetermined medals are paid out, but at the end of the bonus gaming state, a bonus end effect is executed. ing. The bonus end effect indicates that the bonus gaming state has ended in the game via the liquid crystal display device 157, and the total number of medals acquired in the bonus gaming state (the total number of medals paid out in the bonus gaming state− The total number of medals inserted in the bonus game state) is displayed. By viewing this bonus end effect, the player can grasp that the bonus game state has ended and the number of medals earned in the bonus game state.

  The continuous effect of the present embodiment is not executed across the bonus end state. Specifically, even if the small role 32 is won internally when the continuous production is not executed, the continuous production is not executed if the number of medals paid out in the bonus game state exceeds 360. ing. Here, the value of 360 is calculated in consideration of the payout number (400) of the bonus end condition, the longest number of games (4 games) in the continuous production, and the maximum payout number of winning small roles (10). ing.

  As a result, in this embodiment, the continuous effect and the bonus end effect do not overlap in the bonus game state, and the bonus end effect is not affected by other effects. That is, in any case, the bonus end effect is surely executed at the end of the bonus gaming state.

  As described above, in the bonus game state of the present embodiment, whether or not the continuous effect can be executed is determined according to the timing at which the execution condition of the continuous effect is satisfied, and the continuous effect is not executed near the end of the bonus game state. It has become.

  In this embodiment, the bonus gaming state is ended when medals exceeding a predetermined number are paid out, so that the continuous performance is executed based on the number of medals paid out in the bonus gaming state. Whether or not the continuous production can be executed may be determined based on other conditions when the bonus end conditions are different. For example, when the bonus game state is ended when a predetermined number of games are executed, the number of games in the bonus end condition, the longest number of games in the continuous performance, and the number of digested games in the bonus game state are consecutive. It may be determined whether or not the performance can be executed.

In this embodiment, when the medal payout number uniformly exceeds 360, it is determined that the continuous effect is not executed. However, the medal payout number of the threshold value is determined by another method. Also good. For example, the medal payout number of the threshold value may be determined according to the number of games of continuous effects selected based on the result of the lottery process of continuous effects of the game. For example, if 3 game continuous effects are selected, the number may be 370, and if 4 games continuous effect is selected, the number may be 360. In this case, it is possible to determine whether or not the continuous effect can be executed more finely.
<Push order notification effect>
In the push order notification effect, the bonus gaming state ends when the internal bonus is won for the duplicate small role D1 or when the single small role 32 is won internally and the AT grant lottery is won during the bonus gaming state (RT2 mode). It is an effect that is executed in the later re-game variation game state (RT3 mode), and when the internal winning of the duplicate small role A1-A9, B1-B9 or C1-C9 in the re-game variation game state (RT3 mode), or It is executed when the duplicate re-game players 1 to 3 are won internally. Specifically, as described above, when the internal winning combination of the overlapping small combinations A1 to A9, B1 to B9, or C1 to C9 is notified to the player of the push order to be sure to win the small combination 28 (俵), When the duplicate re-game players 1 to 3 are won internally, the player is notified of the push order that does not win the re-game player 2 (replay 2). As a result, in the present embodiment, the re-game changing game state (RT3 mode) advantageous to the player is continued for as long as possible, and the player can be sure to acquire medals.

  FIG. 21 shows the contents of the lottery table for the push order notification effect. In the present embodiment, for example, in the case where an internal winning is performed for the overlapping small roles A1 to A9, the left priority notification effect 1 indicating the stop operation order of left → middle → right is 64/128, and the left → right → middle stop operation. The left priority notification effect 2 indicating the order is selected with a probability of 64/128. That is, in any case, the stop operation order in which the left reel 110 is the first stop reel is notified. Similarly, in the case of internal winning for the overlapping small roles B1 to B9, the medium priority notification effect 1 indicating the stop operation order of middle → left → right shows 64/128, and the stop operation order of middle → right → left. When the medium priority notification effect 2 is selected with a probability of 64/128, and the internal winning combination of the duplicate small roles C1 to C9, the right priority notification effect 1 indicating the stop operation sequence of right → middle → left is 64/128, The right priority notification effect 2 indicating the stop operation order from right to left to middle is selected with a probability of 64/128. That is, in the case where the internal winnings are given to the overlapping small roles B1 to B9, the stop operation order with the middle reel 111 as the first stop reel is notified in any notification effect, and the internal winnings are made to the overlapping small roles C1 to C9. In any notification effect, the stop operation order in which the right reel 112 is the first stop reel is notified.

Further, when the duplicate re-game player 1 is internally won, the left priority notification effect 1 is selected with a probability of 64/128 and the left priority notification effect 2 is selected with a probability of 64/128. That is, in any case, the stop operation order in which the left reel 110 is the first stop reel is notified. In the same manner, when the duplicate regame player 2 is won internally, the medium priority notification effect 1 is selected with a probability of 64/128, and the medium priority notification effect 2 is selected with a probability of 64/128. In this case, the right priority notification effect 1 is selected with a probability of 64/128, and the right priority notification effect 2 is selected with a probability of 64/128. That is, when the duplicate re-game player 2 is won internally, the stop operation order with the middle reel 111 as the first stop reel is notified in any notification effect, and when the duplicate re-game player 3 is won internally, In any notification effect, the stop operation sequence using the right reel 112 as the first stop reel is notified.
<Mode of push order notification effect>
Next, a specific effect mode of the push order notification effect will be described with reference to FIG. The figure shows an example of the push order notification effect.

  In the figure, an example is shown in which the internal winning is performed for the overlapping small roles B1 to B9 and the medium priority notification effect 1 is selected. In this case, the push order navigation effect is performed in such a manner that the stop operation order of middle → left → right is shown to the player.

  In this push order notification effect, the first sub-control unit 400 first displays “middle” in order to indicate to the liquid crystal display device 157 that the middle reel 111 is in the first stop, as shown in FIG. In order to display the figure with the letters “L” and the number “1” thereon, and to indicate that the left reel 110 is in the second stop, the letters “Left” are given. In order to indicate that the right reel 112 is in the third stop, the figure with the letter “right” is displayed as 3 And the number “3” is displayed on it. Further, at a predetermined timing, a sound “medium” is output from the speakers 272 and 277 to indicate that the middle reel 111 is in the first stop.

  Here, when the middle reel 111 is stopped, the first sub-control unit 400 switches the display of the liquid crystal display device 157, and in order to suggest that the middle reel 111 is stopped for the first time, the character “middle” is displayed. In order to suggest that the left reel 110 is in the second stop (the left reel 110 is to be stopped next), the figure marked with is minimized and displayed in a different color. In order to indicate that the figure with the characters “R” is the first largest display and that the right reel 112 is in the third stop, the figure with the characters “RIGHT” is displayed second largest. Further, at a predetermined timing, a sound “left” is output from the speakers 272 and 277 to indicate that the left reel 110 is in the second stop. This display switching and audio output may be performed when a command indicating that the operation of stopping the middle reel 111 has been received from the main control unit 300, or a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the first display. It may be done later.

  When the left reel 110 is further stopped after the middle reel 111 is stopped, the first sub-control unit 400 switches the display on the liquid crystal display device 157, the middle reel 111 is first stopped, and the left reel 110 is the second reel 110. In order to suggest that it has been stopped, the figure with the letter “middle” and the figure with the letter “left” are displayed in the smallest size and their colors are changed, and the right reel 112 is displayed. In order to suggest that is the third stop (the right reel 112 is to be stopped next), the graphic with the letter “right” is displayed the largest. In addition, at a predetermined timing, a sound “right” is output from the speakers 272 and 277 to indicate that the right reel 112 is in the third stop. This display switching and audio output may be performed when a command indicating that the operation of stopping the left reel 110 has been received from the main control unit 300, or a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the second display. You may go after.

In addition, the lottery tables for the above-described effects (the lottery table for the small role notification, the lottery table for the continuous effect, and the lottery table for the push order notification effect) are stored in the ROM 406 of the first sub-control unit 400, When triggered, the corresponding lottery table is read and lottery processing is performed.
<Main control unit main processing>
Next, main control unit main processing executed by the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of main control part 300 main processing.

  As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 332 that outputs the start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which this activation signal is input executes a main control unit main process shown in FIG. 10 in accordance with a control program stored in advance in the ROM 306 after being reset by a reset interrupt.

  When the power is turned on, first, various initial settings are made in step S101. In this initial setting, setting of a stack initial value to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of interrupt prohibition, initial setting of the I / O 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, operation permission to the WDT 314, and initial setting Set the value.

  In step S102, medal insertion / start operation acceptance processing is executed. Here, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted, and the winning line display lamp 120 is turned on according to the insertion of the medal. In addition, a medal insertion command indicating that a medal has been inserted is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Note that when a re-win is won in the previous game, a process of inserting the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is performed, so that it is not necessary for the player to insert medals. Also, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated. If it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the number of inserted medals is determined and the start lever 135 is operated with respect to the first sub-control unit 400. A start operation acceptance command indicating that this is transmitted.

  In step S103, the number of inserted medals is determined and an effective winning line is determined.

  In step S104, the random number generated by the random number generation circuit 316 is acquired.

  In step S105, the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read according to the current gaming state, and an internal lottery is performed using this and the random number value acquired in step S104. As a result of the internal lottery, when any winning combination (including an operating combination) is won internally, the flag of the winning combination is turned ON. In step S105, an internal winning command indicating the result of the winning combination internal lottery is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. For example, in the case where the internal winning of the overlapping small combination D1 is made, an internal winning command indicating that the internal winning of the overlapping small combination D1 is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400, and the winning combination internal lottery result is lost ( In the case of a winning combination, an internal winning command indicating a loss is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 that executes step S105 corresponds to an example of a lottery means according to the present invention.

  In step S106, reel stop data is selected based on the internal lottery result.

  In step S107, the rotation of all reels 110 to 112 is started. In step S107, a rotation rotation start command indicating that all reels 110 to 112 have started rotating is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S108, the stop buttons 137 to 139 can be received. When any one of the stop buttons is pressed, the reel stop control in which one of the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop button is selected in step S106. Stop based on data. When all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the process proceeds to step S109.

  In step S109, a winning determination is performed. Here, when a picture combination corresponding to some winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line 114, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For example, if “bell-bell-bell” is aligned on the activated winning line, it is determined that the player has won the bell. In step S109, a display determination command indicating the result of the winning determination is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S110, if any winning combination with a payout has been won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out according to the number of winning lines.

  In step S111, game state control processing is performed. In this gaming state control process, control for shifting the gaming state is performed. For example, in the case of winning a BB (big bonus), preparation is made so that a BB (big bonus) game can be started next time. In step S111, a gaming state command indicating a gaming state is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

Thus, one game is completed. Thereafter, returning to step S102 and repeating the above-described processing, the game proceeds.

  In step S205, an effect control process is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S204, processing such as reading the effect data corresponding to this command from the ROM 406 is performed, and when the effect data needs to be updated, the effect data is updated. The effect control process in step S205 will be described later in detail.

  In step S206, if there is a command to the sound source IC 418 in the effect data read in step S205, this command is output to the sound source IC 418.

  In step S207, if there is a command to the various lamps 420 in the effect data read in step S205, this command is output to the drive circuit 422.

  In step S208, if the effect data read in step S205 includes a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500, the control command is set to be output, and the process returns to step S202.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described using FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300.

FIG. 4D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in the main process of FIG. That is, when the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S1501. In this initialization process, input / output port initialization, storage area initialization in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

  In step S1502, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S1503.

  In step S1503, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step S1504, command processing is performed. The CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S1505, effect control processing is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S1504, the effect data corresponding to this command is read from the ROM 506, and when the effect data needs to be updated, the effect data is updated.

  In step S1506, if there is a shutter control command in the effect data read in step 1505, shutter control corresponding to this command is performed.

  In step S1507, if there is an image control command in the effect data read in step S1505, image control corresponding to this command is performed (details will be described later), and the process returns to step S1502.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub control unit 500 detects the strobe signal output from the first sub control unit 400.

Execute in the cycle.

  In step S1701, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S1502 of the second sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 17A, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Accordingly, in step S1502, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S1702, an effect random number update process is performed.

  Next, the image control process in step S1507 in the main process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of image control processing.

  In step S1801, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the display areas A and B in the VRAM 536. As a result, an image of one frame stored in the display area not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the effect image display device 157. Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 536), and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 534 based on the position information table and the like, and then the image from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 536. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 534 transfers the image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 536 based on the command set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 536 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

  In step S1802, it is determined whether or not a transfer end interrupt signal from VDP 534 is input. If a transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S1803. If not, a transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for it.

  In step S1803, parameters are set based on the production scenario configuration table and attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 536 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 536 in step S1801, the CPU 504 includes information on the image data constituting the display image (the coordinate axis and image size of the VRAM 536). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 534. The VDP 534 performs parameter setting in accordance with the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S1804, a drawing instruction is performed. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 534 to start drawing an image. The VDP 534 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 504.

  In step S1805, it is determined whether or not a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 534 based on the image drawing end is input. If the generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S1806. If not, the generation end interrupt signal is determined. Wait for input.

In step S1806, a scene display counter that is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many scene images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

If a start operation acceptance command has been received, the process proceeds to step S504, a start operation acceptance process (described in detail later) is executed, and if a start operation acceptance command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S505.

  In step S505, it is determined whether an internal winning command is received from the main control unit 300 or not. If an internal winning command is received, the process proceeds to step S506, where an effect setting process (described in detail later) is executed. If an internal winning command is not received, the process proceeds to step S507.

  In step S507, it is determined whether or not a spinning cylinder rotation start command has been received from the main control unit 300. If the rotation rotation start command is received, the process proceeds to step S508, where rotation rotation start processing (described in detail later) is executed. If the rotation rotation start command is not received, the process proceeds to step S509. .

  In step S509, it is determined whether a display determination command is received from the main control unit 300 or not. If a display determination command is received, the process proceeds to step S510, display determination processing (described in detail later) is executed, and if a display determination command is not received, the process proceeds to step S511.

In step S511, processing based on other commands is executed. For example, processing corresponding to a command such as a stop acceptance command, an error command, a gaming state command, a payout command is executed. More specifically, when a payout command is received during BB, a process for adding and updating the acquired number counter is performed, or when a gaming state command is received and the gaming state is updated from RT2 to RT3. Refers to the value of the updated acquired number counter and sets a bonus end effect for displaying the number of medals acquired during BB.
<Processing at the time of medal insertion>
Next, the medal insertion process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the medal insertion process in step S502 of FIG.

  In step S601, it is determined whether or not there is an effect produced when a medal is inserted. That is, if the reserved effect pattern information includes an effect at the time of medal insertion, the process proceeds to step S602, and if there is no effect at the time of medal insertion, the process proceeds to step S603. Here, the effect pattern information referred to is effect pattern information reserved in the previous game.

  In step S602, the effect information generated when the medal is inserted is set based on the reserved effect pattern information.

  In step S603, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the RT2 mode. If the gaming state is the RT2 mode, the process proceeds to step S605. If the gaming state is not the RT2, the process proceeds to step S604.

  In step S604, information indicating a default effect during a normal game is set.

In step S605, other processing based on the medal insertion command is performed. For example, in the bonus game state, an update process of the acquired number counter (a process of subtracting the medal insertion number from the medal acquired number in the bonus game state) is performed.
<Processing when accepting start operation>
Next, the start operation acceptance process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the start operation acceptance process in step S504 of FIG.

  In step S701, it is determined whether or not there is production pattern information reserved for continuous production when the start lever operation is accepted. If there is production pattern information reserved for continuous production at the time of accepting the start lever operation, the process proceeds to step S702, and if there is no production effect at the time of accepting the start lever operation, the process proceeds to step S703.

  In step S702, the effect information generated when the start lever operation is accepted is set based on the reserved effect pattern information.

  In step S703, it is determined whether there is an instruction to confirm the AT lamp flag described with reference to FIG. If there is an instruction for confirming the AT lamp flag, the process proceeds to step S704. If there is no instruction for confirming the AT lamp flag, the start operation acceptance process is terminated.

  In step S704, it is determined whether there is an AT lamp flag. If there is an AT lamp flag, the process proceeds to step S705. If there is no AT lamp flag, the start operation acceptance process is terminated.

  In step S705, effect information for turning on the AT lamp 190 is additionally set in the RAM 408. Here, the setting of effect information not only sets the effect of one game executed immediately after the game currently being executed, but also reserves the effect information executed over a plurality of games. Is also included. When a continuous effect is executed, the length of the continuous effect to be executed is determined in advance, and the first sub-control unit 400 is provided with a timer that counts the elapsed time since the start of the continuous effect. ing. In step S705, when accompanied by a small role notification effect (small role navigation), the timer is referred to, and if the predetermined period length has passed, the effect information for immediately lighting the AT lamp 190 is stored in the RAM 408. Set additional. In this case, the AT lamp 190 is already lit just before the end of the continuous performance. On the other hand, if the predetermined period length has not passed, it means that the continuous production has been stopped halfway. In this case, the AT lamp 190 is not yet lit, and the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started. First, the small role notification effect (small role navigation) is executed, and thereafter, the effect information for turning on the AT lamp 190 is additionally set in the RAM 408. If no small role notification effect (small role navigation) is involved, the RAM 408 additionally sets effect information that immediately turns on the AT lamp 190 without referring to the timer.

  In step S706, the AT lamp flag is reset.

As described above, in the start operation acceptance process, based on the fact that the AT lamp flag is turned on, only the lighting of the AT lamp 190 among the lighting of the AT lamp 190 and the output of the definite sound is used as effect information. It is notified that the RAM 408 is additionally set and the state is shifted to a state in which the push order notification effect is performed.
<Production setting process>
Next, the effect setting process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the effect setting process in step S506 of FIG.

  In step S801, the internal winning information is updated based on the received internal winning command. Here, the internal winning information is information indicated by the internal winning command, and specifically, information indicating the winning combination.

  In step S802, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the RT2 mode. If the gaming state is the RT2 mode, the process proceeds to step S803 to execute a BB AT grant lottery process (details will be described later), and then proceeds to step S804 to perform a BB medium effect setting process (details will be described later). Execute. If the gaming state is not the RT2 mode, the process proceeds to step S805.

  In step S805, it is determined whether the gaming state is the RT3 mode. When the gaming state is the RT3 mode, the process proceeds to step S806, and AT effect setting processing (described later in detail) is executed. If the gaming state is not the RT3 mode, the process proceeds to step S807.

In step S807, other processing based on the internal winning command is executed. For example, normal effect setting and update processing are performed.
<Bat AT grant lottery process>
Next, with reference to FIG. 30, the BB AT grant lottery process will be described. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the BB AT grant lottery process in step S803 of FIG.

  In step S901, it is determined whether or not the winning combination from the internal winning information is a duplicate small combination D1. When the internal winning combination is the overlapping small role D1, since the push order notification effect is performed in the RT3 mode after the RT2 mode ends, the number of games in which the push order notification effect is performed (hereinafter also referred to as the number of AT navigations). ), The process proceeds to step S909. If the internal winning information is not the duplicated small combination D1, the process proceeds to step S902.

  In step S <b> 902, it is determined from the internal winning information whether the internal winning combination is a single small combination 32. When the internal winning combination is the single small combination 32, the process proceeds to step S903, and the AT grant lottery is executed. The AT grant lottery is a process of lottery whether or not the push order notification effect is executed in the RT3 mode. Specifically, the first sub-control unit 400 obtains an AT grant determination random number value (a possible numerical range is a range of 0 to 65535), and based on the AT grant determination random number value using the lottery table shown in FIG. To determine whether to execute the push order notification effect.

  In step S904, it is determined whether or not the AT grant lottery is won. If the AT grant lottery is won, that is, if the push order notification effect is executed based on the game, the process proceeds to step S905. If the AT grant lottery is not won, that is, the push order is determined based on the game. If the notification effect is not executed, the process ends.

  In step S905, it is determined whether there is an effect pattern information reservation for continuous effects. If there is an effect pattern information reservation, that is, if it is a continuous effect, the process proceeds to step S907. If there is no effect pattern information reservation, that is, if it is not a continuous effect, the process proceeds to step S906.

  In step S906, an AT lamp flag is set. In the start operation acceptance process described above, the effect information by the AT lamp 190 is set depending on the presence or absence of this flag.

In step S907, it is determined whether there is an AT winning effect flag. If there is an AT winning effect flag (the AT winning effect flag is ON), the process proceeds to step S909 to update the number of AT navigations, and there is no AT winning effect flag (the AT winning effect flag is OFF). In step S908, the AT winning effect flag is set (the AT winning effect flag is set to ON).
In step S909, the AT navigation frequency is updated. More specifically, when the winning combination D1 is won, 100 is added to the current number of AT navigations, when winning the single winning role 32, and when winning the AT grant lottery, the current AT navigation. Add 1 to the number of times.

The first sub-control unit 400 that executes the above-described BB AT grant lottery process described above corresponds to an example of a second gaming state transition determination unit according to the present invention. In addition, the AT grant lottery process during the BB is performed based on the fact that the internal lever is executed by operating the start lever 135 and the single small role 32 is won in the internal lottery. Therefore, the AT-between AT grant lottery process is a process performed based on the operation of the start lever 135.
<Processing setting process during BB>
Next, the effect setting process during BB will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the effect setting process during BB in step S804 of FIG.

  In step S1001, continuous effect setting processing (details will be described later) is executed.

  In step S1002, it is determined from the internal winning information whether the internal winning combination is a duplicate small combination D2. If the internal winning combination is the duplicate small combination D2, the process proceeds to step S1003. If the internal winning combination is not the duplicate small combination D2, the process proceeds to step S1007.

  In step S1003, it is determined whether or not effect pattern information for continuous effects is reserved. In the present embodiment, when a duplicate small role D2 is won during BB, a small role notification is performed, but during execution of a continuous performance, priority is given to the continuous performance, and a small role notification that does not disturb the continuous performance is performed. Therefore, this determination is performed. When the production pattern information for the continuous production is reserved, the process proceeds to step S1006, and when the production pattern information for the continuous production is not reserved, the process proceeds to step S1004.

  In step S1004, since a continuous effect is not executed, a lottery for a small role notification effect is performed. Specifically, the first sub-control unit 400 acquires a small role notification determination random value (a possible numerical range is a range of 0 to 127), and uses the small role notification lottery table shown in FIG. Based on the role notification determination random value, the lottery notification effect lottery is performed.

  In step S1005, the effect information of the small role notification effect according to the lottery result is set. Specifically, any production information of the small role notification productions 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 11 is set.

  In step S1006, effect information of the small role notification effect 1 is set. That is, during execution of a continuous effect, in order to prioritize the continuous effect, a continuous effect with a small symbol display is performed.

  In step S <b> 1007, it is determined from the internal winning information whether the internal winning combination is a loss or a duplicate small combination D. If the winning combination is the lost or duplicated small part D1, the process proceeds to step S1008, and if the winning combination is neither the lost nor the duplicated small part D1, the effect setting process during BB is terminated.

  In step S1008, it is determined whether or not a production pattern for continuous production is reserved. In the present embodiment, when a loss or duplicate small role D1 is won during BB, a press notification effect is performed. However, during execution of a continuous effect, the continuous effect is prioritized and the press notification effect is not performed. The determination is performed. If the effect pattern for the continuous effect is reserved, the effect setting process during the BB is ended, and if the effect pattern for the continuous effect is not reserved, the process proceeds to step S1009.

In step S1009, effect information of the eye press notification effect is set. Here, the press notification effect is specifically a notification effect instructing to aim at the BB2 symbol, and is an effect of improving the winning probability of the watermelons 1 to 3. In addition, when an internal winning is made for the overlapping small role D1, a push order notification effect is executed in the RT3 mode after the bonus game state (R2 mode) ends. Therefore, in this embodiment, the privilege (the push order in the RT3 mode) The player is informed not only of the continuous effect but also other effects (notification effect of pressing).
<Continuous production setting process>
Next, the continuous effect setting process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the continuous effect setting process in step S1001 of FIG.

  In step S1101, it is determined whether or not the continuous production is continuing. Specifically, it is determined whether or not there is information indicating continuation of the continuous production in the next internal winning of the production pattern information set last time. If the continuous effect is being continued, the process proceeds to step S1102, and if the continuous effect is not being continued, the process proceeds to step S1103.

  In step S1102, with reference to the effect information of the effect pattern information set last time, the effect pattern information of the continuous effect shown in FIG. 13 is reserved. For example, when there is information indicating execution of the second game in the next internal winning information of the effect pattern of the first game, the effect pattern information of the second game is reserved. In the effect pattern information of the third game of the continuous effect B shown in FIG. 13, the continuous effect 3-3 (3) (see FIG. 18) executed in the third game is displayed and the AT lamp 190 is turned on and confirmed. It is specified that sound is also output. In addition, the effect pattern information of the fourth game of the continuous effect D shown in FIG. 13 stipulates that the final sound displayed at the fourth game and the definite sound are output simultaneously with the lighting of the AT lamp 190. . The effect that is combined with the lighting of the AT lamp 190 and the output of the final sound, which is performed just before the end of the effect following the last game of the continuous effect, is an effect that notifies the transition to the state in which the push order notification effect is performed. In addition, the effect pattern information of the third game of the continuous effect A and the effect pattern information of the fourth game of the continuous effect C shown in FIG. 13 do not stipulate that the AT lamp 190 is turned on and the definite sound is output. . On the other hand, as described above, in the start operation acceptance process shown in FIG. 28, the AT lamp 190 is turned on among the lighting of the AT lamp 190 and the output of the definite sound based on the AT lamp flag being turned on. Is additionally set in the RAM 408 as effect information, and it is notified that the state is shifted to a state in which the push order notification effect is performed. Thus, the notification mode differs between the notification performed immediately before the end of the effect following the final game of the continuous effect and the notification performed by the start operation reception process. The first sub-control unit 400 corresponds to an example of a notification control unit according to the present invention. Further, step S1102 and step S705 correspond to an example of a final notification control process according to the present invention.

  In step S1103, it is determined from the internal winning information whether or not the internal winning combination is a single small combination 32. If the internal winning combination is the single small combination 32, the process proceeds to step S1104. If the internal winning combination is not the single small combination 32, the continuous effect setting process is terminated.

  In step S1104, it is determined whether or not the effect pattern information of the continuous effect is reserved, that is, whether or not the continuous effect is being executed. When the production pattern of the continuous production is reserved, the process proceeds to step S1113, and when the production pattern of the continuous production is not reserved, the process proceeds to step S1105.

  In step S1105, it is determined whether or not the number of medals paid out exceeds 360. If the medal payout number exceeds 360, the process proceeds to step S1110, and if the medal payout number does not exceed 360, the process proceeds to step S1106.

  In step S1106, a lottery of continuous effects is performed. That is, the RT2 mode will not be terminated during the execution of the continuous effect if the single small role 32 is won internally and the medal payout number does not exceed 360 when the continuous effect is not executed. Therefore, in order to execute the continuous production, the lottery of the continuous production is performed. Specifically, the first sub-control unit 400 obtains a continuous production determination random number value (a possible numerical range is a range of 0 to 127), and uses the continuous production lottery table shown in FIG. A lottery process is performed based on the random number value, and one of the continuous effects A to D is selected.

  In step S1107, the AT winning effect flag is reset, that is, the AT winning effect flag is set to OFF.

  In step S1108, a production pattern for continuous production according to the lottery result of continuous production is reserved. Specifically, the effect pattern information of the first game of any one effect pattern information selected from the continuous effects A to D shown in FIG. 13 is reserved.

  In step S1109, the effect information of the continuous effect small role notification effect is set. That is, the small role notification is also executed together with the continuous effect in step S1108. Specifically, the clothes of the villain character appearing in the continuous performance are colored green to notify that the watermelon has been won.

  In step S1110, the AT lamp flag is reset, that is, the AT lamp flag is set to OFF.

  In step S1111, a lottery notification effect lottery is performed. In other words, when the single small role 32 is won internally and the medal payout number exceeds 360 when the continuous effect is not being executed, the RT2 mode may end during the execution of the continuous effect. Since there is, a lottery for the small role notification effect is performed in order to execute the small role notification effect without executing the continuous effect. Specifically, a lottery is performed using the lottery notification lottery table shown in FIG. 11, and any one of the small role notification effects 4 to 6 is selected.

  In step S1112, the effect information of the notification effect according to the lottery result of the small role notification effect is set. Specifically, the effect information selected from the small role notification effects 4 to 6 shown in FIG. 11 is set.

  In step S1113, the effect information of the small role notification effect 4 is set. That is, when the single small role 32 is won internally while the continuous effect is being executed, the continuous effect currently being executed is continuously performed, and the small role notification effect that does not interfere with the continuous effect is performed. Specifically, the small watermelon symbol is displayed in the continuous production being executed. As described above, in the present embodiment, even if the single small role 32 is won internally during execution of the continuous production, the continuous production associated with the winning of the single small role 32 is not executed, and the continuous production currently being executed is continued. Is given priority.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in step S1105, when the number of medal payouts uniformly exceeds 360, it is determined that the continuous effect is not executed, but the threshold value of step S1105 is determined by another method. May be. For example, the lottery process of the continuous effect of the game may be performed first, and the threshold value in step S1105 may be determined according to the number of games of the continuous effect selected based on the result of the lottery process. For example, if 3 game continuous effects are selected, the number may be 370, and if 4 games continuous effect is selected, the number may be 360. In this case, it is possible to determine whether or not the continuous effect can be executed more finely.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the continuous effect B or the continuous effect D shown in FIG. 13 is performed, the definite sound is always output as the AT lamp 190 is turned on. Therefore, the first sub-control unit 400 that determines whether or not to perform the continuous effect B and the continuous effect D in the continuous effect setting process shown in FIG. 32 corresponds to an example of the notification determination unit according to the present invention.
<AT effect setting process>
Next, the AT effect setting process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the AT effect setting process in step S806 of FIG.

  In step S1201, it is determined whether the number of AT navigations is set. When the number of AT navigations is set, that is, when the number of AT navigations ≧ 1, the process proceeds to step S1202, and when the number of AT navigations is not set, that is, when the number of AT navigations = 0, the AT effect setting process ends. .

  In step S1202, it is determined from the internal winning information whether the internal winning combination is any one of the overlapping small combinations A to C. If the internal winning combination is any of the overlapping small combinations A to C, the process proceeds to step S1204, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1203.

  In step S1203, it is determined from the internal winning information whether the internal winning combination is any one of the duplicate re-playing combinations 1-3. If the internal winning combination is any one of the duplicate replaying combinations 1 to 3, the process proceeds to step S1204. Otherwise, the AT effect setting process is terminated.

  In step S1204, a push order sorting lottery is performed according to the winning combination. That is, when the game state is the RT3 mode, when either of the duplicate re-game players 1 to 3 or the duplicate re-game players 1 to 3 is internally won, a push order notification effect is performed. A lottery process is performed to determine. Specifically, the first sub-control unit 400 obtains an AT effect determination random value (a possible numerical range is a range of 0 to 127), and uses the AT effect table shown in FIG. A lottery process is performed based on the numerical value. For example, when the overlapping small role A1 is won, the left priority notification effect 1 indicating the stop operation order of left → middle → right is 1/2, and the left priority notification effect 2 indicating the stop operation order of left → right → middle. Is selected with a probability of 1/2.

  In step S1205, the production information of the push order notification effect is set based on the lottery result of the push order sorting lottery. Specifically, the effect information of the notification effect shown in FIG. 21 is set.

  In step S1206, 1 is subtracted from the number of times of AT navigation.

The AT effect setting process shown in FIG. 33 described above corresponds to an example of the guidance notification control process according to the present invention.
<Circular rotation start processing>
Next, with reference to FIG. 34, the rotation rotation start process will be described. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the spinning cylinder rotation start process in step S508 of FIG.

  In step S1301, it is determined whether there is a production effect at the start of rotation of the rotating drum. If there is a generated effect at the start of rotation of the spinning cylinder, the process proceeds to step S1302, and if there is no generated effect at the start of rotation of the rotation of the cylinder, the rotation rotation start process ends.

In step S1302, effect information to be generated at the start of rotation of the rotating drum is set based on the reserved effect pattern information.
<Display judgment processing>
Next, the display determination process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the display determination process in step S510 of FIG.

  In step S1401, it is determined whether there is a production effect at the time of display determination. If there is a generated effect at the time of display determination, the process proceeds to step S1402, and if there is no generated effect at the time of display determination, the process proceeds to step S1403.

  In step S1403, it is determined whether or not the game state has won the re-gamer 2 in the RT3 mode. If the game state has won the re-gamer 2 in the RT3 mode, the process proceeds to step S1404. If not, the display determination process ends.

  In step S1404, it is determined whether the number of times of AT navigation is set. When the game state wins the re-player 2 in the RT3 mode, the game state is shifted to the RT0 mode. Therefore, if the push order notification effect is currently being executed, the push order notification effect must also be ended. There is. Therefore, the determination is performed. If the number of times of AT navigation is set, since the push order notification effect is currently being executed, the process proceeds to step S1405, and the number of times of AT navigation is set to zero. On the other hand, if there is no AT navigation frequency, the display determination process is terminated.

As described above, the gaming machine according to the present embodiment is a start that instructs the start of rotation of a plurality of reels (for example, reels 110 to 112) each provided with a plurality of types of symbols (for example, baskets, bells, and watermelons). An operation unit (for example, a start lever 135) is provided, and one game is started in response to the operation of the start operation unit, and the one game is based on the stop of all rotations of the plurality of reels. Is a game machine that ends,
