  Thus, the conventional reel stop control uses a stop table and a link table, but the data amount of the stop table and the link table presses the storage area of the ROM as the number of types of roles increases. Yes.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of reducing the amount of data necessary for stop control of a symbol display row.

  The present invention will be described below. In order to facilitate understanding of the invention, reference numerals and the like in the accompanying drawings are appended in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the display form.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the gaming machine (1) according to the present invention changes the symbols due to the movement of the plurality of symbol display strings (4L, 4C, 4R) in response to the operation of the starting operation means (15). In response to the operation of the stop operation means (16L, 16C, 16R) provided corresponding to each of the symbol display rows (4L, 4C, 4R), the display is started and the operated stop operation means (16L , 16C, 16R) is stopped when the symbol display row (4L, 4C, 4R) is stopped, and when a winning combination is won as a result of stopping a plurality of symbol display rows (4L, 4C, 4R), In the gaming machine (1) that executes a predetermined process in response, the internal lottery means (41) that executes an internal lottery for a plurality of winning combinations in response to an operation of the start operation means (15), and a stop For operation of operating means (16L, 16C, 16R) In response, the position of the symbol display row (4L, 4C, 4R) corresponding to the stop operation means (16L, 16C, 16R) at the timing when the stop operation means (16L, 16C, 16R) is operated is a reference. The stop control means (41) for executing stop control for stopping the symbol display string (4L, 4C, 4R) within the range in which the symbols for the predetermined number of drawn frames move, and the internal lottery means (41) Including a winning determination means (41) for determining the winning of the winning combination based on whether or not the combination of symbols corresponding to the lottery winning combination is stopped at a predetermined winning line (L1), and a stop control means (41 ) Identifies a winning combination that may be won when one stop operation means (16L, 16C, 16R) is operated as a winning candidate winning combination, and a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning candidate winning combination As is stopped down (L1), and wherein the stopping the stop operation means (16L, 16C, 16R) symbol display column corresponding to (4L, 4C, 4R) to.

  According to this configuration, in response to the operation of the starting operation means (15), the internal lottery for a plurality of winning combinations is executed, and the plurality of symbol display rows (4L, 4C, 4R) are moved. The symbol variation display is started. Thereafter, when stop operation means (16L, 16C, 16R) provided corresponding to each of the symbol display rows (4L, 4C, 4R) are operated, stop control is executed, and the stop operation means (16L , 16C, 16R) corresponding to the symbol display row (4L, 4C, 4R) is stopped.

  In the stop control, a winning combination that is likely to win when one stop operating means (16L, 16C, 16R) is operated is specified as a winning candidate winning combination. The stop operation means (16L, 16C, 16R, 16C, 16R) at the timing when the stop operation means (16L, 16C, 16R) is operated so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning candidate combination is stopped on the winning line (L1). 16R), the symbol display row (4L, 4C, 4R) is stopped within a range in which the symbols corresponding to the predetermined number of frames to be drawn move with reference to the position of the symbol display row (4L, 4C, 4R). The

  As described above, stop control of the next symbol display sequence (4L, 4C, 4R) is performed based on the winning candidate combination instead of the stop position of the previously stopped symbol display sequence (4L, 4C, 4R). Therefore, a link table essential for conventional stop control can be eliminated. As a result, it is possible to reduce the amount of data necessary for stop control of the symbol display row (4L, 4C, 4R).

  In the stop control, every time one symbol display row (4L, 4C, 4R) is stopped, the winning candidate combinations are narrowed down, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning candidate combination is stopped on the winning line (L1). Furthermore, the symbol display sequence (4L, 4C, 4R) corresponding to the operated stop operation means (16L, 16C, 16R) may be stopped.

And a combination data storing means (42) for storing combination candidate data consisting of a result of a predetermined first logical operation using combination identification data corresponding to combinations included in the combination of the combination, The lottery means (41) activates the condition device (431) provided in association with each of the roles on the condition that the roles are drawn by the internal lottery. (431) and a candidate for winning based on the result of a predetermined second logical operation using the candidate combination data corresponding to the symbol in the symbol display sequence (4L, 4C, 4R) stopped on the winning line (L1) The role may be narrowed down.

  Further, the gaming machine (1) is used for stop control of the symbol display row (4L, 4C, 4R) by the stop control means (41), and as long as a predetermined symbol is possible on the winning line (L1) by the stop control. Stop table storage means (42) for storing a stop table (424) defined to be stopped, combination identification data provided in a one-to-one correspondence with each combination, and symbol display string (4L, 4C, 4R) is stored in association with each symbol, and combination candidate data consisting of a result of a predetermined first logical operation using combination identification data corresponding to the combination included in the combination of the symbol is stored. And an internal lottery means (41) including a condition device (431) provided in association with each of the combinations on the condition that a combination is lottered by the internal lottery. Operate and stop control Is a predetermined second logical operation using the condition device (431) in operation and the candidate combination data corresponding to the symbols in the symbol display sequence (4L, 4C, 4R) stopped on the winning line (L1). A stop table (424) previously associated with a combination of stop position information of the symbol display sequence (4L, 4C, 4R) that has been stopped first based on the winning candidate combination determined based on the result ), The symbol display row (4L, 4C, 4R) may be stopped.

  The winning determination means (41) corresponds to the symbols of the symbol display sequence (4L, 4C, 4R) stopped on the winning line (L1) when all the symbol display sequences (4L, 4C, 4R) are stopped. It is preferable to determine whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination drawn by the internal lottery is stopped on the winning line (L1) based on the result of the predetermined third logical operation using the winning combination candidate data. .

  The combination of symbols corresponding to the symbols drawn by the second logical operation and the internal lottery for specifying the winning candidate roles is the combination of the symbol candidates corresponding to the individual symbols in the symbol display sequence (4L, 4C, 4R). Is used for the third logical operation for determining whether or not the game has stopped at the winning line (L1). In other words, the role candidate data used for the third logical operation for winning determination is also used for the second logical operation for specifying the winning candidate role in the stop control of the symbol display sequence (4L, 4C, 4R). Is done. By sharing this combination candidate data, it is possible to further reduce the amount of data required for stop control of the symbol display strings (4L, 4C, 4R).

The random number generation circuit 45 includes an increment counter that counts up in response to an output of a clock pulse from an oscillator (not shown), and generates a 16-bit random number. On the other hand, the CPU 41 refers to the lottery table 421 stored in the ROM 42. In the lottery table 421, a range of random numbers (for example, 0 to 65535) generated by the random number generation circuit 45 is divided into a plurality of lottery sections, and one or more roles are associated with each lottery section. CPU41 acquires the random number which the random number generation circuit 45 produces | generates, and determines the combination matched with the lottery division to which the acquired random number belongs as a winning combination. Then, the CPU 41 writes flag information for identifying the winning combination (the winning combination) in the RAM 43. In addition, when the random number acquired from the random number generation circuit 45 does not belong to any lottery category, the CPU 41 determines that the result of the internal lottery is incorrect.

  Note that the flag for identifying the winning / non-winning of each combination that is the subject of the internal lottery is called “condition device 431”, and winning information is written in one of the condition devices 431 corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery. (Setting a flag) is called “conditional device activation”.

  When the left stop button 16L, the middle stop button 16C, and the right stop button 16R are pressed, the CPU 41, based on the condition device 431, the role identification table 422, the role candidate table 423, the stop table 424, and the determination table 425, The output of the drive pulse signal to the stepping motors 51L, 51C, 51R is stopped, and the stop of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R is controlled (reel stop control).

  In the reel stop control, after the left stop button 16L, the middle stop button 16C and the right stop button 16R are pressed, the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R are set to a predetermined maximum number of frames (for example, four frames). ) After rotating in the following range, the rotation can be stopped.

  Further, the CPU 41 sends a command and a signal necessary for control to the effect sub-board 32 and the electrical decoration sub-board 33 via the signal sending circuit 46.

Therefore, the player (especially a beginner of the game in the slot machine 1) recognizes that the player has won the diagonal watermelon role by arranging the "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon".

  In the combination identification table 422, for each combination, bit information having a different digit of 1 when defined in binary is defined as combination identification data.

  Specifically, in the combination identification table 422, combination identification data “01H (= 00000001)” is associated with the bonus combination. The middle bell combination is associated with combination identification data “02H (= 00000010)”. The role identification data “04H (= 00000100)” is associated with the diagonal bell combination. The role identification data “08H (= 00001000)” is associated with the middle watermelon role. The re-playing combination is associated with combination identification data “10H (= 00010000)”. The role identification data “20H (= 00100000)” is associated with the cheri combination. The diagonal watermelon combination is associated with combination identification data “40H (= 01000000)”.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the role candidate table 423.

  The reel band (peripheral surface) of the left reel 4L includes “Replay”, “Bell”, “Watermelon”, “Replay”, “Bell”, “Cheri”, “BAR”, “Replay”, “Bell”, “ "Watermelon", "Replay", "Bell", "Cheri", "BAR", "Replay", "Bell", "Watermelon", "Replay", "Bell", "Watermelon" and "Red 7" They are arranged in this order. These symbols are associated with symbol numbers “1” to “21”, respectively.

  The reel band of the middle reel 4C includes "bell", "watermelon", "replay", "cherry", "bell", "replay", "bell", "watermelon", "replay", "cherry", " "Bell", "Watermelon", "Replay", "Cheri", "Bell", "Watermelon", "Replay", "Cheri", "Replay", "Bell" and "Red 7" are arranged in this order. ing. These symbols are associated with symbol numbers “1” to “21”, respectively.

  The reel band of the right reel 4R includes “Ceri”, “Watermelon”, “Bell”, “Replay”, “Cheri”, “Watermelon”, “Bell”, “Replay”, “Cheri”, “Watermelon”, “ “Bell”, “Replay”, “Cheri”, “Watermelon”, “Bell”, “Replay”, “Cheri”, “Watermelon”, “Bell”, “Replay” and “Red 7” are arranged in this order. ing. These symbols are associated with symbol numbers “1” to “21”, respectively.

  In the winning combination candidate table 423, for each symbol of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R, the logic of the combination identification data corresponding to all the combinations that may be won in a state where the symbol is stopped on the winning line L1. The sum (result of the first logical operation) is defined as the role candidate data.

  For example, in a state where the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C is stopped on the winning line L1 and the left reel 4L and the right reel 4R are rotating, the winning combinations that can be won are the middle watermelon role, the cheri role, and the diagonal It is a watermelon role. The role identification data “08H”, “20H” and “40H” are associated with the middle watermelon role, the cheri role and the diagonal watermelon role, respectively. Therefore, in the combination candidate table 423, for the “watermelon” design of the middle reel 4C, the combination identification data “08H”, “20H”, and “40H” “68H” is defined as combination candidate data.

  In the role candidate table 423, for the symbols “replay”, “bell”, “watermelon”, “cherry”, “BAR” and “red 7” of the left reel 4L, the role candidate data “54H”, “02H”, respectively. ”,“ 08H ”,“ 20H ”,“ 00H ”, and“ 01H ”are defined. In the symbols “bell”, “watermelon”, “replay”, “cherry” and “red 7” of the middle reel 4C, the role candidate data “26H”, “68H”, “30H”, “20H” and “20H” 21H "is defined. In the symbols “Ceri”, “Watermelon”, “Bell”, “Replay” and “Red 7” on the right reel 4R, the role candidate data “60H”, “28H”, “22H”, “34H” and “ 21H "is defined.

  Note that when the “BAR” symbol of the left reel 4L is stopped on the winning line L1 and the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R are rotating, there is no possibility of winning any of the winning combinations. For the “BAR” symbol, “00H” is defined as the role candidate data.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the stop table 424.

  The stop table 424 is an aggregate of stop tables provided for each symbol of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R. Each stop table defines a pull-in range in which the symbols can be stopped on the pay line L1 based on the maximum number of pull-in frames in the reel stop control.

  Taking the stop table of the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L as an example, the stop table will be specifically described assuming that the maximum number of frames to be drawn is 4.

  In the left reel 4L, the “watermelon” symbols are arranged at the positions of symbol numbers “3”, “10”, “17”, and “20”.

  Since the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “20” is included in the range of four frames on the upstream side in the rotation direction of the left reel 4L from the symbol “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “3”, the “watermelon” symbol of In the stop table, the drawing-in range of the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “3” is defined in the range of symbol numbers “1” to “3” and “21”.

  Since there is no other “watermelon” symbol in the range of 4 frames on the upstream side in the rotation direction of the left reel 4L from the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “10”, in the stop table of the “watermelon” symbol, The drawing-in range of the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “10” is defined in the range of symbol numbers “6” to “10”.

  Since there is no other “watermelon” symbol in the range of 4 frames upstream of the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “17” in the rotation direction of the left reel 4L, in the stop table of the “watermelon” symbol, The drawing-in range of the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “17” is defined as the range of symbol numbers “13” to “17”.

  Since the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “17” is included in the range of 4 frames upstream of the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “20” in the rotation direction of the left reel 4L, the “watermelon” symbol of “watermelon” symbol is included. In the stop table, the drawing range of the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “20” is defined as the range of symbol numbers “18” to “20”.

  Due to the performance of the stepping motor 51L, which is the driving source of the left reel 4L, when the “watermelon” symbol is located at a predetermined reference position, the left stop button 16L is pressed, and the stepping motor 51L responds to the pressing operation. When stopped immediately, the “watermelon” symbol stops on the winning line L1. The reference position is the amount of rotation of the left reel 4L from when the left stop button 16L is pressed until the stepping motor 51L stops upstream of the winning line L1 in the rotation direction of the left reel 4L ( (Rotational angle).

  In the reel stop control using the “watermelon” symbol stop table, when the symbol number “1” to “3” or “21” symbol is positioned at the reference position, the left stop button 16L is pressed, The “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “3” stops on the winning line L1. When the symbol number “6” to symbol “10” is positioned at the reference position and the left stop button 16L is pressed, the symbol “watermelon” symbol “10” stops on the winning line L1. When the symbol number “13” to “17” is positioned at the reference position and the left stop button 16L is pressed, the symbol “watermelon” symbol “17” stops on the winning line L1. When the symbol number “18” to “20” is positioned at the reference position and the left stop button 16L is pressed, the symbol “watermelon” symbol “20” stops on the winning line L1. When the symbol number “4”, “5”, “11” or “12” other than these symbols is positioned at the reference position and the left stop button 16L is pressed, The “watermelon” symbol does not stop on the winning line L1.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the determination table 425.

  A plurality of determination tables 425 are provided and represent the correspondence between the role candidate data and the reference information. The reference information is information for specifying a stop table to be referred to next from the stop table 424 stored in the ROM 42.

  FIG. 7 illustrates two determination tables 425.

  In one exemplified determination table 425 (TBL01), reference information “reference 1”, “reference 2”, and “reference 1” are associated with the role candidate data “01H”, “02H”, and “08H”, respectively. Is defined. Further, reference information “reference 2” is defined in association with the end “FFH” of the determination table 425.

  In the other one of the exemplified determination table 425 (TBL02), the reference information “reference 1” and “reference” are associated with the candidate role data “20H”, “21H”, “26H”, and “30H”, respectively. 2 ”,“ Reference 1 ”and“ Reference 1 ”are defined. Further, reference information “reference 2” is defined in association with the end “FFH” of the determination table 425.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the reel stop control.

  In the reel stop control, the CPU 41 of the main board 31 first confirms the condition device 431, and includes candidates for winning combinations that may win. In other words, the combination corresponding to the active condition device may be selected as a combination that may win.

  Thereafter, the middle stage watermelon combination is drawn in the internal lottery, the condition device corresponding to the middle stage watermelon combination is activated, and after the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R start to rotate, the left stop button 16L and the middle stop button 16C The case where the right stop button 16R is pushed in this order is taken as an example.

  In this case, the middle watermelon combination is listed as a candidate that may win. A combination of symbols “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is associated with the middle watermelon role. Therefore, the CPU 41 selects from the stop table 424 stored in the ROM 42 a stop table to be used for stopping the “watermelon” symbol constituting the symbol combination “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” on the winning line L1. . That is, the “watermelon” symbol stop table of the left reel 4L, the “watermelon” symbol stop table of the middle reel 4C, and the “watermelon” symbol stop table of the right reel 4R stored in the ROM 42 are selected.

  When the left stop button 16L is pressed, the stop table of the “watermelon” symbol on the left reel 4L is referred to, and the “watermelon” symbol on the left reel 4L is stopped as much as possible on the pay line L1. The stop of the left reel 4L is controlled. As a result, when the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L stops on the winning line L1, it is maintained as a candidate for a combination that may win the middle watermelon combination. On the other hand, if the “watermelon” symbol on the left reel 4L does not stop on the winning line L1, candidates for winning combinations that may win are lost.

  When the “watermelon” symbol on the left reel 4L stops on the winning line L1, the CPU 41 refers to the candidate symbol table 423 stored in the ROM 42, and the candidate role data “corresponding to the“ watermelon ”symbol on the left reel 4L“ 08H "is acquired. Each stop table is associated with one of the determination tables 425 stored in the ROM 42, and the determination table 425 corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol stop table of the left reel 4L is referred to. Then, in order from the leading candidate data in the determination table 425, it is determined whether or not it matches with the candidate combination data “08H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L. For example, when the determination table 425 of “TBL01” shown in FIG. 7 is referred to, the candidate combination corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L in order from the first candidate combination data “01H” of the determination table 425. It is determined whether or not it matches the data “08H”. When the candidate combination data “08H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L is found in the determination table 425, the reference information “reference 1” corresponding to the candidate combination data “08H” is acquired.

  The reference information “reference 1” is information for specifying the “watermelon” symbol stop table of the middle reel 4C and the “watermelon” symbol stop table of the right reel 4R as stop tables to be referred to next. In accordance with this information, the “watermelon” symbol stop table 424 of the middle reel 4C and the “watermelon” symbol stop table 424 of the right reel 4R are selected.

  Then, when the middle stop button 16C is pressed, the stop table for the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C is referred to, and the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C is stopped as much as possible on the pay line L1. The stop of the middle reel 4C is controlled. As a result, when the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C stops on the winning line L1, the middle watermelon role is maintained as a candidate for a possible winning combination. On the other hand, if the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C does not stop on the winning line L1, the candidate for the winning combination that may win is lost.

  When the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C stops on the pay line L1, the CPU 41 refers to the candidate role table 423 stored in the ROM 42, and the candidate role data “corresponding to the“ watermelon ”symbol of the middle reel 4C“ 68H "is acquired. Then, a logical product (second logical operation) of the candidate combination data “08H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L stopped first and the candidate combination data “68H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C Result).

  The logical product of the role candidate data “08H” and the role candidate data “68H” is “08H”, which matches the role identification data “08H” of the middle watermelon role. Therefore, when the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C stops on the winning line L1, it is maintained as a candidate for a role that the middle stage watermelon role may win. On the other hand, when the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C does not stop on the winning line L1, for example, when the “replay” symbol of the middle reel 4C stops on the winning line L1, the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L stopped first. The logical product of the candidate combination data “08H” corresponding to “30” and the candidate combination data “30H” corresponding to the “replay” symbol of the middle reel 4C is “0”. This logical product “0” means that a candidate for a winning combination that may be won has disappeared.

  When the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C stops on the pay line L1, the CPU 41 refers to the determination table 425 corresponding to the stop table of the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C. Then, in order from the leading candidate data in the determination table 425, it is determined whether or not the logical product “08H” of the candidate combination data “08H” and the candidate combination data “68H” matches. For example, when the determination table 425 of “TBL02” shown in FIG. 7 is referred to, it is determined whether or not it matches the logical product “08H” in order from the leading candidate data “20H” in the determination table 425. Is done. Since the table for determination 425 of “TBL02” does not include the candidate role data “08H”, the candidate role data “08H” is not found, the terminal “FFH” is reached, and the reference information “ Reference 2 "is obtained.

  The reference information “reference 2” is information that specifies, for example, the stop table of the “watermelon” symbol of the right reel 4R as the stop table to be referred to next. In accordance with this information, the stop table for the “watermelon” symbol of the right reel 4R is selected.

  When the right stop button 16R is pressed, the stop table of the “watermelon” symbol on the right reel 4R is referred to, and the “watermelon” symbol on the right reel 4R is stopped as much as possible on the pay line L1. The stop of the right reel 4R is controlled. As a result, when the “watermelon” symbol of the right reel 4R stops on the winning line L1, the symbol combination “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” corresponding to the middle watermelon role is arranged on the winning line L1, and the middle watermelon character is won. .

  On the other hand, when the candidate for the winning combination that may win a prize disappears when the left reel 4L stops, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R are stopped so that no winning combination is won. Be controlled. Further, when the candidate for a winning combination that may win a prize disappears when the middle reel 4C stops, the stop of the right reel 4R is controlled so that no winning combination is won.

  In FIG. 8, the numbers attached to the words “reference”, “right”, and “middle” simply indicate that there are a plurality of types of reference information. The reference information with the same number is not necessarily the same content, and the reference information with the same number may have different content.

  When all of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R are stopped, the CPU 41 refers to the role candidate table 423 stored in the ROM 42, and the symbol role of the right reel 4R stopped on the winning line L1. Candidate data is acquired. Then, a logical product (result of the third logical operation) of the obtained combination candidate data and the result of the logical product obtained when the middle reel 4C stops is obtained, and the obtained logical product is in operation. If it matches the combination identification data of the combination corresponding to the condition device, it is determined that the combination has won. For example, when the symbol combination “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” stops on the winning line L1, the logical product “08H” obtained when the middle reel 4C stops, and the “watermelon” symbol candidate for the right reel 4R. A logical product with the data “28H” is obtained. This logical product is “08H”, which matches the role identification data “08H” of the middle stage watermelon role. Therefore, it is determined by the CPU 41 that the middle stage watermelon role has been won.

  As described above, in response to the operation of the start lever 15, the internal lottery for a plurality of winning combinations is executed, and the symbol fluctuation display by the rotation of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R is displayed. Be started. Thereafter, when the left stop button 16L, the middle stop button 16C, or the right stop button 16R is operated, the reel stop control is executed, and the pressed left stop button 16L, middle stop button 16C, or right stop button 16R is changed. The corresponding left reel 4L, middle reel 4C or right reel 4R is stopped.

  In the above-described example, since the middle watermelon combination is drawn in the internal lottery, the middle watermelon combination is identified as a winning candidate combination that may win when the left stop button 16L is pressed. Since the combination of watermelon-watermelon-watermelon is associated with the middle watermelon role, the "watermelon" symbol of the left reel 4L is awarded as much as possible according to the stop table of the "watermelon" symbol of the left reel 4L The stop of the left reel 4L is controlled so as to stop at the line L1. When the “watermelon” symbol on the left reel 4L stops on the winning line L1, the middle watermelon role is maintained as a winning candidate role. In this case, the role candidate data “08H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L is acquired, and the stop table of the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C is selected based on the role candidate data “08H”. . Then, according to the stop table, the stop of the intermediate reel 4C is controlled so that the “watermelon” symbol of the intermediate reel 4C stops as much as possible on the pay line L1. When the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C stops on the winning line L1, the candidate combination data “68H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C is acquired. The combination candidate data “68H” is a logical sum of the combination identification data “08H” of the middle watermelon combination, the combination identification data “20H” of the cheri combination and the combination identification data “40H” of the diagonal watermelon combination. Therefore, the winning combination candidate data “68H” means that, when the state of the condition device 431 is ignored, when the left reel 4L stops, the middle stage watermelon role, the cheri role and the diagonal watermelon role are listed as winning candidate roles. To do. Thereafter, the logical product “08H” of the candidate combination data “08H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L that has stopped first and the candidate combination data “68H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 4C is obtained. It is done. This logical product “08H” matches the role identification data “08H” of the middle watermelon role. Accordingly, the logical product “08H” means that the winning candidate role is narrowed down from the middle watermelon role, the chery role and the diagonal watermelon role to the middle watermelon role due to the middle reel 4C being stopped. When the logical product “08H” is obtained, the “watermelon” symbol stop table of the right reel 4R is selected based on the logical product “08H”. Then, according to the stop table, the stop of the right reel 4R is controlled so that the “watermelon” symbol of the right reel 4R stops on the winning line L1 as much as possible.

  In this way, the stop of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R is controlled based on the winning candidate combination instead of the stop position of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R. Therefore, the link table essential for conventional reel stop control can be eliminated. As a result, it is possible to reduce the amount of data necessary for stop control of the left reel 4L, middle reel 4C, and right reel 4R.

  Further, when two of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R are stopped, the CPU 41 refers to the combination candidate table 423 stored in the ROM 42 and stops each of the winning lines L1. Symbol combination candidate data is acquired, and a logical product of the acquired combination candidate data is obtained. Thereafter, when all of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R are stopped, the CPU 41 refers to the winning candidate table 423, and acquires the winning combination candidate data of the symbol last stopped on the winning line L1. Then, a logical product of the logical product obtained when two of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R are stopped and the symbol combination candidate data last stopped on the winning line L1 is obtained. If this logical product matches the combination identification data of the combination corresponding to the active condition device, it is determined that the combination is winning.

  The candidate combination data used for the logical product calculation for the winning determination is also used for the logical product calculation for specifying the winning candidate combination in the stop control of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R. The By sharing the role candidate data, it is possible to increase the free capacity of the ROM 42 in which data necessary for stop control of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R is stored.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention can also be implemented with another form.

  For example, instead of the determination table 425 illustrated in FIG. 7, the determination table 425 illustrated in FIG. 9 may be used for the reel stop control.

  FIG. 9 illustrates two determination tables 425.

  In one exemplified determination table 425 (TBL01A), reference information “reference 1” is defined in association with symbol numbers “1” to “3”. Further, reference information “reference 2” and “reference 1” are defined in association with the candidate role data “02H” and “08H”, respectively. Further, reference information “reference 2” is defined in association with the end “FFH” of the determination table 425.

  In the other one of the exemplified determination table 425 (TBL02A), reference information “reference 3” is defined in association with symbol numbers “1” to “3”. Further, reference information “reference 1” is defined in association with the role candidate data “02H”. Further, reference information “reference 2” is determined in association with symbol numbers “4” and “10” to “13”, and reference information “reference 1” is determined in association with role candidate data “08H”. ing. Further, reference information “reference 2” is defined in association with the end “FFH” of the determination table 425.

  In the internal lottery, the middle stage watermelon combination is drawn, the condition device corresponding to the middle stage watermelon combination is activated, and after the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R start to rotate, the left stop button 16L, the middle stop button 16C and the right Taking the case where the stop button 16R is pushed in this order as an example, when the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L stops on the pay line L1, the CPU 41 refers to the winning candidate table 423 stored in the ROM 42. Thus, the candidate combination data “08H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L is acquired. Further, the symbol number of the “watermelon” symbol stopped on the winning line L1 is acquired. Further, a determination table 425 corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol stop table of the left reel 4L is referred to. Then, it is determined whether or not the symbol numbers “1” to “3” as the first data of the determination table 425 match the symbol number of the “watermelon” symbol stopped on the winning line L1. When the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “3” on the left reel 4L is stopped on the winning line L1, it matches the head data of the determination table 425 and the symbol number of the “watermelon” symbol stopped on the winning line L1. The reference information “reference 1” corresponding to the head data is acquired. When the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number “10”, “17” or “20” on the left reel 4L is stopped on the winning line L1, the candidate candidate data “02H” defined next in the determination table 425 is displayed. Is matched with the candidate combination data “08H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L, and they do not match. Next, the candidate combination data “08H” included in the determination table 425 is determined. And the candidate combination data “08H” corresponding to the “watermelon” symbol of the left reel 4L is determined. If it is determined that they match, the reference information “reference 1” corresponding to the combination candidate data “08H” is acquired.

  In this way, in addition to the candidate combination data corresponding to the symbol previously stopped on the winning line, the symbol number of the symbol is acquired, and based on the symbol number or candidate combination data, the stop table to be referred next is obtained. Reference information for specifying may be acquired.
