In the present embodiment, the number of symbols moving with the rotation of the reel within this prescribed time is referred to as “the number of sliding pieces”. If the prescribed time is 190 msec, the maximum number of sliding symbols is determined to be four symbols, and if the prescribed time is 75 msec, the maximum number of sliding symbols is determined to one symbol.

  When an internal winning combination that permits combination display of symbols relating to winning is determined, the reel stop control means normally determines that a combination of symbols has a winning determination line within a prescribed time of 190 msec (for four symbols of symbols). Stop the rotation of the reel so that it is displayed as much as possible. In addition, the reel stop control means uses various specified times corresponding to the game state to rotate the reel so that the combination of symbols whose display is not permitted by the internal winning combination is not displayed along the winning determination line. Stop it.

  The winning determination means is based on the combination of symbols stopped on the winning determination line based on the stop of the rotation of the plurality of reels by the reel stop control means and the variation of the symbols being stopped. Determine winnings. The winning determination means is carried by a main control circuit described later. If it is determined that the winning combination is determined by the winning combination determination means, a bonus such as payout of medals is given to the player. In the pachislot machine, the above series of flows are performed as one game.

  Moreover, in the pachislot machine, in the above-described series of flows, display of an image performed by an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device, output of light performed by various lamps, output of sound performed by a speaker, or a combination thereof is used. And various effects are performed.

  When the start lever is operated, a random number for presentation (hereinafter, random number for presentation) is extracted separately from the random number used to determine the internal winning combination described above. When the effect random number value is extracted, the effect content determination means determines by lottery the one to be executed this time out of a plurality of types of effect content associated with the internal winning combination. The effect content determination means is carried by a sub control circuit described later.

  When the contents of the effect are determined, the effect executing means interlocks with respective triggers such as the start of the rotation of the reels, the stop of the rotations of the respective reels, the determination of the presence or absence of winning, etc. to execute the corresponding effects. As described above, in the pachislot machine, the player has an opportunity or opportunity to know the determined internal winning combination (in other words, a combination of the symbols to be aimed) by executing the presentation content corresponding to the internal winning combination. Thus, the player's interest can be improved.

  Here, the main CPU 93 is configured to transmit the various signals described above to the external device 200 as signals representing the state of the pachi-slot machine 1 via the external concentrated terminal plate 56. As described above, the main CPU 93 constitutes a state transmission unit.

[Transition of gaming state]
The main CPU 93 is configured to shift the two gaming states of the main gaming state and the RT gaming state as the gaming state of the pachislot machine 1.

<Transition of the main gaming state>
As shown in FIG. 7, the main CPU 93 takes one of the general gaming state and the BB gaming state as a main gaming state. In the normal gaming state, the main gaming state is shifted to the BB gaming state when an operating role of a big bonus (hereinafter simply referred to as “BB”) as a bonus game is won. Here, BB is always in a state of internal winning during the period from internal winning until the BB's actuating player is won, and this state is hereinafter referred to as "BB carry-over state".

  In the BB gaming state, when the BB ending condition is established in the main gaming state, specifically, in the BB gaming state, there is a payout of medals exceeding the prescribed number (86 in the present embodiment). Transitions to the normal gaming state. The operation and termination of the BB are controlled by the main CPU 93. Thus, the main CPU 93 constitutes bonus game control means.

  The main CPU 93 takes one of the BB normal gaming state and the RB gaming state as the BB gaming state.

  When transitioning from the normal gaming state to the BB gaming state, the main gaming state shifts to the BB general gaming state. In the BB general gaming state, the main gaming state shifts to the RB gaming state when the RB operating combination is won. Here, RB is always in a state of internal winning during the period from internal winning until the actuating player of RB is won, and this state is hereinafter referred to as “RB carry-over state”.

  In the RB gaming state, although the winning probability of each small winning combination is specified to be low, the display probability that the combination of the symbols constituting one of the small winning combinations is displayed is set to be higher than the BB general gaming state ing.

  In the RB gaming state, when the RB ending condition is established, the main gaming state, specifically, when the number of games in the RB gaming state reaches a prescribed number (in the present embodiment, once), or If the number of winnings of the small combination with payout is a prescribed number (one in the present embodiment), the game mode is shifted to the BB normal gaming state. The transition of the main gaming state in the BB gaming state is controlled by the main CPU 93. Thus, the main CPU 93 constitutes a bonus game state transition control means.

  In the RB gaming state, the main gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state when the BB ending condition is established. Further, in the RB carry over state, the main gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state when the BB end condition is established.

<Transition of RT gaming state>
In the normal gaming state, the main CPU 93 takes one of the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state as an RT gaming state. That is, the main CPU 93 shifts the RT gaming state between the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state. As described above, the main CPU 93 constitutes an RT gaming state transition control means.

  The RT0 gaming state is a replay low probability state (a low RT gaming state) in which the winning probability of the replay role that is the player of the replay is relatively lower than that of the RT1 gaming state. The RT1 gaming state is a replay high probability state (high RT gaming state) in which the winning probability of the replay role is relatively higher than that of the RT0 gaming state.

  In the RT0 gaming state in the normal gaming state, the RT gaming state shifts to the RT1 gaming state when the BB operating combination is determined as the internal winning combination. On the other hand, in the RT1 gaming state in the normal gaming state, the RT gaming state shifts to the RT0 gaming state when the BB operating combination wins and then the BB ends.

  Here, the RT1 gaming state and the RT0 gaming state are not RTs managed by the number of games, but shift to another gaming state only when the transition conditions as described above are satisfied. In that sense, the RT1 gaming state and the RT0 gaming state are infinite RT.

  In addition, as a transition condition of the RT gaming state, instead of the transition condition as described above, a combination of specific symbols is displayed as a combination of symbols for BB's winning combination of BB, ending of BB, and RT gaming state. Alternatively, a predetermined number of unit games may be executed.

[Sub gaming state of the gaming machine]
FIG. 8 is a state transition diagram of the sub gaming state in the pachislot machine 1. As described above, while the RT gaming state is shifted by the main CPU 93, the sub CPU 102 determines the content of the effect to notify the stop operation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, thereby achieving the internal winning combination. The player is made to win or not win advantageously, or to shift the sub game state.

  As described above, the sub CPU 81 constitutes a gaming state transition means for transitioning the effect state to the advantageous gaming state in which information of an advantageous stop operation related to the provision of medals is notified when the specific condition is satisfied.

  In the present embodiment, the advantageous gaming state corresponds to “AT”, which is a state in which the sub CPU 102 notifies the stop operation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R so that the internal winning combination is advantageously won or not won for the player. Do.

  Also, in the present embodiment, “AT” includes “GG”, “EG”, “PEG” and “SEG” described later. Further, a state in which the AT gaming state is the replay high probability state is referred to as "ART".

<GG>
"GG" is played with one set of a predetermined number of games (100 games in the present embodiment). Thus, during the GG, the internal winning combination can be won so as to increase the number of obtained cards without inserting medals, so the more the number of GG sets, the more medals are obtained be able to. For this reason, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the addition of the number of sets of GG (hereinafter, also referred to as "overlaying") largely affects the medal acquisition.

  The sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to the GG when the specific condition is established. Specific conditions include winning a lottery according to the internal winning combination and winning a lottery according to the history of the internal winning combination as a result of the unit game. Thus, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a gaming state transition means.

  The lottery according to the history of the internal winning combination is performed when a specific internal winning combination is continuously won more than a predetermined number of times, or the specific internal winning combination is won more than a predetermined number of times within a predetermined number of games. It will be done if you

  In addition, when the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub gaming state to GG, the sub CPU 102 notifies that the sub gaming state is determined to shift to the GG by a combination of a plurality of decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11. Thus, the sub CPU 102 and the liquid crystal display device 11 constitute a game state transition notification means.

<CZ>
When the special condition is established, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub gaming state to a special mode (hereinafter referred to as "CZ") which can shift the sub gaming state to GG even when the specific condition is not established. Special conditions include winning a lottery according to the history of the internal winning combination. As described above, the sub CPU 102 configures a special mode transition unit.

  When the sub gaming state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 determines by lottery the plurality of decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11, and in the present embodiment, three decorative symbols. Specifically, when the sub gaming state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 randomly determines at least one decorative symbol to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 each time a stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S. As described above, the sub CPU 102 configures a decorative symbol determination unit.

  Each time the sub CPU 102 determines the decorative symbol, the sub CPU 102 causes the image display means to display the determined decorative symbol. As described above, the sub CPU 102 configures a decorative symbol display unit. When the sub gaming state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub gaming state to GG when a special transition condition in which the types of the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same is satisfied.

  Specifically, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub gaming state to any one of CZ1 to CZ4 in accordance with the sub gaming state when shifting to CZ. When the sub CPU 102 is in the CZ (CZ1 or CZ2) state in which the sub gaming state has shifted from normal, a special transition condition is established in which the types of the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same. , Shift the sub game state to GG.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 102 is in CZ (CZ3 or CZ4) in which the sub gaming state has shifted from GG, a special transition condition is established in which the types of the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same. On the GG.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 102 is in the sub gaming state of CZ, the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is predetermined even if the type of the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is not the same. Each time a specific decorative symbol combination (hereinafter referred to as "GG winning game reach eyes") is configured, GG is added, and the sub gaming state is maintained at CZ until the termination condition of CZ is satisfied.

  In the present embodiment, the termination condition of CZ includes that the special transition condition is established and that CZ has continued for five games. It should be noted that the GG winning reach is not displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 when the sub gaming state is normal, and the liquid crystal display device during a GG series of signs from the winning of the GG to the transition of the sub gaming state to the GG It is included in the reach which is the displayed result displayed in 11.

  In addition, when the sub gaming state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 follows the condition in CZ on the condition that the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 partially includes the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type. In the unit game of, while holding (HOLD) to maintain the combination of the decorative symbol of the same type, the decorative symbol not maintained is determined by lottery.

  In the present embodiment, on the condition that the sub CPU 102 has performed hold, the following unit game in CZ will be described as determining the decorative symbols not maintained by lottery, but the next in CZ will be described. In the unit game, each time a stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S, a decorative symbol not maintained may be determined by lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102 does not necessarily hold the liquid crystal display, provided that the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 partially includes the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type. Holding is performed on the condition that the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the device 11 is a special combination among the combinations partially including the decorative symbols of the same type.

  For example, when the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is "7S7", as shown in FIG. 111, the hold is performed, but the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is " In the case of 7V7 ", the hold is not performed.

<EG>
When the specific transition condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub gaming state to the additional gaming state (hereinafter referred to as “EG”) in which the lottery of the GG top is performed over 16 games as the specified unit game number.

  For example, when the sub gaming state is CZ, for example, “SSS” is displayed as a combination of special symbols on the liquid crystal display device 11, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub gaming state to GG and shifts to EG. Let

  When the sub gaming state is EG, for example, the sub CPU 102 wins an internal winning combination in which the red 7 is aligned with the display window 4, and the red 7 array is displayed in the display window 4 as a predetermined symbol combination. On the condition of the above, on top of GG, rewinding is performed to set the remaining game count of EG to 16 which is the specified unit game count. As described above, the sub CPU 102 configures an additional game number setting unit.

  When the sub-playing state is EG, the sub-CPU 102 advantageously performs the GG-over on the player according to the number of remaining games of EG when performing the GG-over. Thus, the sub CPU 102 constitutes an advantageous gaming state addition means.

  Specifically, when the sub game state is EG, the sub CPU 102 performs GG addition with a higher continuation rate as the number of remaining games of EG is smaller. Here, the continuation rate of the GG refers to the probability that the GG is further added when the GG is added. That is, the sub CPU 102 performs lottery until the success rate of GG is not won, and adds GG for the number of wins.

<PEG>
The sub CPU 102 is a high additional probability state (hereinafter referred to as "PEG") in which the probability that the GG is added is relatively high with respect to the EG when the special transition condition is satisfied when the sub gaming state is EG. Transition the sub game state to. Special transition conditions include winning a PEG promoted lottery performed when the sub gaming state transitions to EG, and winning a rewind to a PEG by rewind lottery.

  When the sub gaming state is PEG, the sub CPU 102 performs GG addition on condition that wins rewinding, sets the remaining number of EG games to 16 and rewinds the sub gaming state by lottery Transfer to EG or PEG.

In the present embodiment, the number of added games of SEG is determined from among “10 games”, “20 games”, “30 games” and “1000 games”.

  For example, if there is no stock of SEG, and the sub-flag lottery combination is "C-rip", it is not possible to win the addition with the probability of 24576/32768, and 10 games to be notified immediately with the probability of 6848/32768 are determined. 20 games to be notified immediately with a probability of 1024/32768 are determined, 30 games to be notified immediately with a probability of 256/32768 are determined, and 1000 games to be notified immediately with a probability of 64/32768 are determined. In this case, the number of added games to be stocked is not determined.

<History lottery table>
The history lottery table shown in FIGS. 57 and 58 normally includes five tables corresponding to the respective sub gaming states of CZ1 and CZ2, CZ3 and CZ4, GG, EG, SEG and PEG.

  Each history lottery table indicates the probability of winning GG and CZ1 to CZ4 for each history result. Here, the history results are "None", "History blue 3 series", "History blue 4 series", "History blue 5 series", "History yellow 3 series", "History yellow 4 series", "History yellow 5 "Ren", "History White 5", "2 special roles within 5 G", "3 special roles within 5 G", "4 special roles within 5 G", "5 special roles within 5 G", It includes 16 results of “Red 7 twice within 5G”, “Red 7 more than 5 times within 5G”, “Red 7 more than 2 stations” and “GOD more than 2 times within 5G”.

  Specifically, each of the history lottery tables is “non winning”, “GG winning”, “CZ1 winning”, “CZ2 winning”, “CZ3 winning”, “CZ4 winning”, “GG + CZ1” for each history result. Represents the probability of being determined to be a winning.

  For example, when the sub gaming state is normal, if the history result is "three consecutive blue history", "not won" is determined with a probability of 31130/32768, and "CZ1 won" with a probability of 1638/32768. Will decide. Similarly, when the sub gaming state is normal, if the history result is “four history blue series”, “CZ1 win” is determined with a probability of 32768/32768.

  Although the history lottery table for EG, SEG and PEG shown in FIG. 58 is shown as a common table, the history lottery table for PEG is advantageous to the player with respect to other history lottery tables. The GG may be set to be added.

  That is, the sub gaming state may be set so that the GG is advantageously added to the player with respect to the history lottery table for PEG rather than the history lottery table for sub gaming states other than PEG.

  Specifically, the history lottery table may be set such that the winning probability of GG and CZ is higher when the sub gaming state is PEG than when the sub gaming state is other than PEG. .

[Main control processing]
The main CPU 93 of the main control board 41 executes various processes in accordance with the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

<Main control process>
FIG. 59 is a flowchart showing main control processing. The main control process described below starts when the pachi-slot machine 1 is powered on.

  First, when the pachi-slot machine 1 is powered on, the main CPU 93 executes a power-on process shown in FIG. 60 (S10). In the power-on process, it is determined whether the backup is normal or whether the setting has been properly changed, and the initialization process is performed according to the determination result.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes an initialization process at the end of one game (one unit game) (S11). In this initialization process, for example, a storage area designated in advance to be initialized at the end of one game is initialized. By this initialization process, data stored in the internal winning combination storing area and the display combination storing area of the main RAM 95 are cleared.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes medal acceptance / start check processing shown in FIG. 61 (S12). In the medal acceptance / start check process, a process of detecting a medal inserted by a player and a process of detecting a start operation are executed.

  Next, the main CPU 93 extracts three random number values (random number values 1 to 3), and stores them in the random number value storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S13). Here, the random number value 1 is a value used for internal lottery processing, and in the present embodiment, it is extracted from 0 to 65535.

  The random numbers 2 and 3 are values used for the other lottery processing, and in the present embodiment, they are extracted from 0 to 65535 and 0 to 255, respectively. The main CPU 93 does not have to constantly extract the random numbers 2 and 3 in step S13, and may extract them only when the random numbers 2 and 3 are used.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes an internal lottery process shown in FIG. 62 (S14). The main CPU 93 that executes this internal lottery process constitutes an internal winning combination determination means.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a reel stop initial setting process shown in FIG. 64 (S16). In the reel stop initialization process, each information (for example, stop table number etc.) related to the stop control of the reel is stored in the corresponding area of the main RAM 95 based on the result (internal winning combination) of the internal lottery process.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates start command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated start command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S17).

  The start command data indicates, for example, the type of the game state flag, the value of the bonus end number counter, the type of the internal winning combination, the value of the effect timer, and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes wait processing (S18). In this weight processing, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game start (the start of the last unit game), and if it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the predetermined time has elapsed Wait until the waiting time is digested. The predetermined time in this weight processing, that is, the weight time, is set to, for example, 4.1 seconds from the start of the last unit game.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes reel rotation start processing for rotating all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R according to the number of inserted medals (S19). Along with the reel rotation start processing, "0000111" is stored in the operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 29).

  Further, the reel rotation start process is executed by the interrupt process shown in FIG. This interrupt process is a process that is executed in a fixed cycle (1.1172 ms). By this interruption process, the driving of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is controlled, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started.

  Thereafter, the driving of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is controlled by this interruption processing, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is accelerated until the rotation reaches a constant speed. Furthermore, when the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R reaches a constant speed, this interrupt processing controls the drive of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R so that the reels 3L, 3C, 3R rotate at a constant speed. Maintained.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates reel rotation start command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated reel rotation start command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 S20).

  By receiving the reel rotation start command data, the secondary control board 42 can recognize the reel rotation start, and can determine the timing and the like of executing various effects.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes an attraction priority storage process shown in FIG. 65 (S21). In the drawing priority order storage process, a drawing priority order table selection process shown in FIG. 66 is executed, and the drawing priority order of all the symbols on the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R is determined. That is, in the leading priority storing process, stop information is stored in the leading priority data storage area shown in FIG. 31 for each symbol position of each rotating reel based on the internal winning combination.

  For example, for each symbol of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R, when the corresponding symbol is the stop permission, the pull-in priority data is stored in the pull-in priority data storage area based on the priority table, and no stop is made. In the case of permission (for example, when a combination that is not internally won wins), data representing stop prohibition is stored in the leading priority data storage area.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a reel stop control process shown in FIG. 68 (S22). By this processing, stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed. Next, the main CPU 93 executes a winning search process (S23).

  In this winning search process, after all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped, the symbol combination displayed on the activated pay line is compared with the symbol combination table, and the symbol combination displayed on the pay line is It is judged.

  Specifically, the data stored in the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 26) and the data of the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 11 to 13) are collated, and the collation result is stored in the display combination storage area Ru.

  More specifically, data of the symbol code storage area is copied as it is to the display combination storage area. At that time, the symbol combination table is referred to, and the number of payouts is determined. By this winning a prize search processing, the combination of the symbols displayed in the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R is specified as all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes payout of the number of medals according to the displayed symbol combination based on the result of the winning search processing (S25). Along with the medal payout processing, control of the hopper device 43 and update of the number of credits are performed based on the payout number counter.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates winning operation command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated winning operation command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S26) . The winning operation command data represents, for example, the type of display combination, the number of medals paid out, and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes bonus end check processing shown in FIG. 69 (S27). By the bonus end check process, a process of respectively terminating the operation of BB or RB when the end condition of BB or RB is satisfied is executed.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a bonus operation check process shown in FIG. 70 (S28). By this bonus operation check process, a process of performing BB or RB operation is executed based on the combination of the symbols displayed by the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. After executing the process of step S28, the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S11.

<Power-on process>
FIG. 60 is a flow chart showing a power-on process executed in step S10 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether the backup is normal (S30). In this judgment processing, it is judged whether the backup is normal or not by error detection using a checksum value.

  For example, the main CPU 93 stores the setting value of the pachislot machine 1 and the check sum value calculated from the setting value of the pachislot machine 1 in the main RAM 95 as backup data, and the determination process at the time of power on (S30) , And reads the set value etc. and the checksum value stored in the main RAM 95.

  Here, the main CPU 93 compares the checksum calculated from the read setting value and the like with the checksum that has been backed up, and determines that the backup is normal if the comparison result matches.

  When the main CPU 93 determines that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 93 sets the backed up setting values and the like (S31). Thereby, when the backup is normal, the setting value before the power-off is set.

  After executing the processing of step S31, or when determining that the backup is not normal in step S30 (NO), the main CPU 93 turns on the setting change switch provided in the cabinet 2a of the pachislot machine 1 It is determined whether or not (S32). Here, when determining that the setting change switch is on (YES), the main CPU 93 executes initialization processing at the time of setting change (S33).

  In the initialization process at the time of setting change, for example, data stored in the internal winning combination storing area and the display combination storing area of the main RAM 95 are cleared, and the setting value is cleared.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated initialization command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S34) . The initialization command data represents, for example, the presence or absence of a setting value change and the setting value.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes setting value change processing (S35). In the setting value changing process, for example, the setting value is selected from 1 to 6 in accordance with the operation result of the reset switch, and the setting value selected when the start lever 16 is operated is determined.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether the setting change switch is in the on state (S36), and repeatedly executes the process of step S36 until the determination result in which the setting change switch is not in the on state is obtained.

  Here, when it is determined that the setting change switch is not in the on state (NO), the main CPU 93 generates and generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42. The initialization command data is stored in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S37), and the power-on process ends.

  In step S32, when the main CPU 93 determines that the setting change switch is not on (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether the backup is normal (S38). Here, if it is determined that the backup is not normal (NO), the main CPU 93 executes power-on error processing (S39).

  In the power-on error process, the main CPU 93 displays that the backup is not normal by an error display or the like. It should be noted that the main CPU 93 is configured not to release the error state depending on the operation of the stop release switch or the reset switch in the error (backup error) state in which the backup is not normal, and the setting change is newly made. Only when the error condition is to be cleared.

  If it is determined in step S38 that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 93 restores the state of the pachislot machine 1 to the state before the power failure based on the backup data stored in the main RAM 95. (S40), the power-on process ends.

<Medal acceptance and start check processing>
FIG. 61 is a flow chart showing the medal acceptance / start check process executed in step S12 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not there is an automatic input request (S50). In the case of winning the replay role in the previous unit game, medals are automatically inserted in the current unit game. That is, in the determination process of step S50, it may be determined whether or not a replay combination is won in the previous unit game.

  In step S50, when the main CPU 93 determines that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), the main CPU 93 executes an automatic insertion process (S51). In the automatic insertion process, the same number of medals as the medals inserted in the previous unit game are automatically inserted.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated medal insertion command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95. A transmission process is performed (S52). Here, the medal insertion command data represents, for example, the presence or absence of medal insertion, the value of the insertion number counter, the value of the credit counter, and the like.

  In step S50, when the main CPU 93 determines that there is no automatic insertion request (NO), the main CPU 93 permits reception of medals (S53). For example, the main CPU 93 drives a solenoid of a selector (not shown) to form a route so that the medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 13 passes through the inside of the selector.

  In step S50, when the main CPU 93 determines that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), the reception of medals is prohibited from the previous unit game, so processing regarding reception of medals is performed. Does not run.

  After the process of step S52 or S53 is executed, the main CPU 93 sets the maximum value of the number of medals inserted according to the gaming state (S54). In the present embodiment, the maximum number of inserted medals is three.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not acceptance of medals is permitted (S55). Here, if it is determined that acceptance of medals is permitted (YES), the main CPU 93 executes medal insertion check processing for checking the number of inserted medals (S56). In this medal insertion check process, the value of the insertion number counter is updated according to the number of medals checked.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated medal insertion command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95. The transmission process is executed (S57).

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether medals can be inserted or credited (S58). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 satisfied the condition that the number of inserted sheets is 3 and the credit is 50 or that the automatic insertion process of step S51 is performed. When it is determined that medal insertion or credit is not possible and when the condition is not established, it is determined that medal insertion or credit is possible.

  When it is determined in step S58 that the insertion of medals or the credit is not possible (NO), the main CPU 93 prohibits the reception of medals (S59). For example, the main CPU 93 forms a path along which the medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 13 is discharged from the medal payout opening 21 without driving the solenoid of the selector.

  If it is determined in step S55 that acceptance of medals is not permitted (NO), if it is determined in step S58 that medal insertion or credit is possible (YES), or after the process of step S59 is executed. The main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of inserted medals is the number that can start the game (S60).

  That is, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of inserted medals is the number that can start unit game, according to the gaming state. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not three medals have been inserted.

  Here, if it is determined that the number of inserted medals is not the number that can start the game (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the processing of step S55. On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of inserted medals is the number that can start the game (YES), the main CPU 93 determines whether the start switch 64 is on (S61).

  Here, if it is determined that the start switch 64 is not on (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S55. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 64 is on (YES), the main CPU 93 prohibits medal acceptance (S62), and ends the medal acceptance / start check process.

<Internal lottery process>
FIG. 62 is a flow chart showing an internal lottery process executed in step S14 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 sets an internal lottery table corresponding to the gaming state in the main RAM 95 (S80). Specifically, the main CPU 93 sets an internal lottery table shown in any of FIGS. 17 to 19 in the main RAM 95 in accordance with the gaming state.

  Next, the main CPU 93 acquires random number values stored in the random number value storage area (S81). Next, the main CPU 93 determines an internal winning combination based on the acquired random number value and the set internal lottery table, and stores it in the internal winning combination storage area (S 82).

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether the value of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 27) is “0” (S83). In this determination process, it is determined whether bit 7 corresponding to "BB" in the carryover storage area is set to "1".

  If it is determined in step S83 that the value of the carryover combination storage area is not "0" (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the internal lottery process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the carryover combination storage area is “0” (YES), the main CPU 93 determines the internal winning combination defined as the carryover combination in the internal winning combination stored in the internal winning combination storage area. The combination (for example, BB) is stored in the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 27) (S84). In the process of step S83, for example, when "BB" is acquired as the internal winning combination, bit 7 corresponding to "BB" of the carryover combination storage area is set to "1".

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether the value of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 27) is “0” (S85). In this determination process, it is determined whether bit 7 corresponding to "BB" in the carryover storage area is set to "1".

  If it is determined in step S85 that the value of the carryover combination storage area is “0” (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the internal lottery process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the carryover combination storage area is not “0” (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the game state flag transfer process shown in FIG. 63 (S76) and ends the internal lottery process.

<Playing state flag transfer processing>
FIG. 63 is a flow chart showing a game state flag transfer process executed in step S86 of the internal lottery process shown in FIG.

The transmission process is executed (S156). The reel stop command data indicates the type of reel to be stopped, the stop start position, the number of sliding pieces (or the planned stop position), and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines a planned stop position based on the stop start position and the number-of-sliding-pieces determination data, and stores it in the main RAM 95 (S157). The planned stop position is a symbol position obtained by adding any one of predetermined numerical values “0” to “4” defined as the number of sliding symbols to the stop start position, and the symbol position at which the rotation of the reel is stopped. It is.

At this time, the main CPU 93 also performs the above-described RB activation process.

  Next, the main CPU 93 clears the value of the carryover combination storage area (S295). Thereafter, the main CPU 93 generates bonus start command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and transmits the bonus start command data to be stored in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95. The process is executed (S296), and the bonus operation check process is ended.

Here, if it is determined that the bonus end command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes bonus end command reception processing (S445), and ends the effect content determination processing. In the bonus end command reception process, for example, effect data is set based on information transmitted as a bonus end command indicating that the bonus has ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus end command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the input state command has been received (S446). Here, if it is determined that the input state command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes an input state command reception process (S447), and ends the effect content determination process.

  In the input state command reception process, for example, effect data based on information transmitted as an input state command indicating whether each operation unit is in the on-edge state or in the off-edge state is set. On the other hand, if it is determined in S446 that the input state command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the effect content determination process.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub gaming state is the first game of CZ1 to CZ4, GG, EG, SEG or PEG (S480). Here, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is the first game of CZ1 to CZ4, GG, EG, SEG or PEG (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the middle CZ prediction counter during normal (for example, The value is set to “−1” (S 481), and the number of CZ precursor games in GG is initialized (for example, “−1” is set) (S 482).

  In step S480, when it is determined that the sub gaming state is not the first game of CZ1 to CZ4, GG, EG, SEG or PEG (NO), or after the processing of step S482 is executed, sub CPU 102 normally performs medium CZ. It is determined whether the value of this precursor counter is 0 (S483).

  Here, if it is determined that the value of the normal middle CZ precursor counter is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the value of the normal middle CZ precursor counter is 1 or more (S484) . When it is determined that the value of the normal middle CZ precursor counter is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines that the sub flag conversion number is 0 or 1 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is lost or "bell spill"). It is determined whether or not (S485).

  If it is determined in step S483 that the value of the normal medium CZ precursor counter is 0 (YES), or if it is determined in step S485 that the sub flag conversion number is 0 or 1 (YES), the sub The CPU 102 reduces the normal middle CZ precursor counter by one (S 486).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the CZ hold flag is not valid (NO), sub CPU 102 causes the first stop, the second stop mirror and the second stop included in the CZ output group lottery table shown in FIG. With reference to the corresponding table among the tables with mirrors for stopping, CZ appearance group lottery is performed to determine the type of decorative symbol by lottery at a probability associated with the number group stored in the sub RAM 103 during CZ processing ( S 574).

  Next, when the reel stop command represents the stop of the first stop reel, the sub CPU 102 determines the left stop output, which is the left decorative symbol, as the result of the CZ appearance group lottery, and the reel stop command is the 1st stop reel. In the case of representing the stop of the 2 stop reel, the middle stop figure which is a decorative symbol in the middle is decided as the result of the CZ output group lottery (S575), and the 1 stop, 2 stop processing ends.

  In the step S575, as shown in FIG. 112, when the decoration pattern other than the "mirror" is determined as the middle stop, if the "mirror" is determined as the left stop, the sub CPU 102 Changes the left stop sound to the same kind of decorative pattern as the stop light.

<3 stop processing>
FIGS. 90 to 92 are flowcharts showing the 3-stop processing executed in step S562 of the reel stop command reception processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the gaming state controlled by the main CPU 93 is the BB carry over state (S 580). Here, if it is determined that the gaming state controlled by the main CPU 93 is not the BB carry-over state (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the three-stop processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the gaming state controlled by the main CPU 93 is the BB carryover state (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub flag conversion number is 25 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is "GOD"). It is determined whether or not (S581).

  Here, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is 25 (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the three stop processing. On the other hand, when it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not 25 (NO), the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is "right red 7", "red 7 N" or "red 7 SP" It is determined whether or not (S582).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is neither 22 nor 24 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the CZ hold flag is valid (S583).

  Here, if it is determined that the CZ hold flag is not valid (NO), the sub CPU 102 refers to the third stop table included in the CZ output group lottery table shown in FIG. In step S584, CZ appearance group lottery is performed to determine the type of the decorative symbol by lottery with the probability associated with the number group stored in the sub RAM 103 (S584).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines the right stop appearing eye, which is the decorative symbol on the right, based on the result of the CZ appearance group lottery (S585). In step S 585, as shown in FIG. 113, when “right” is determined and “mirror” is determined as the left stop and the middle stop, the sub CPU 102 determines the left Change the stop appearance and middle stop appearance to the same type of decorative pattern as the right stop appearance.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 refers to the CZ-out group conversion table shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, and identifies the left, middle and right decorative symbol types, that is, the output group number corresponding to the displayed output. The CZ output group conversion process is executed (S586).

Here, if it is determined that the hold has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 refers to the CZHOLD lottery table shown in FIG. 47 and holds or holds with the probability associated with the output group number. CZHOLD lottery is carried out to lottery only the seeds (S 588).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the result of the CZHOLD lottery is the hold (S589). Here, if it is determined that the result of the CZHOLD lottery is the hold (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the CZ hold flag (S590), and ends the three stop processing.

  In step S587, when it is determined that the hold is not won (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the output group number is any of 7 to 11, that is, GG (S591) .

  Here, if it is determined that GG has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines the number of added GG counters to be added to the value of the GG counter according to the output group number (S592). In the present embodiment, when the output group number is 9 or 10, sub CPU 102 determines the number of added GG counters to be 5, and when the output group number is 7, 8 or 11, addition GG Determine the number of counters as 1.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 adds the number of added GG counters to the value of the GG counter (S593). Next, the sub CPU 102 performs lottery lottery at the time of winning GG for distributing the GG continuation rate (S594).

Here, in the added GG number lottery table, the winning probability of each added GG number is associated with the sub-flag lottery number.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of added GGs is 0 (S901). Here, if it is determined that the number of added GGs is 0, the sub CPU 102 ends the common lottery process.

  On the other hand, when determining that the number of added GGs is not 0, the sub CPU 102 sets or adds the number of added GGs to the value of the GG counter (S902). That is, when the value of the GG counter is the initial value, the sub CPU 102 sets the addition GG number to the value of the GG counter, and when the value of the GG counter is not the initial value, the addition GG is added to the value of the GG counter. Add the numbers.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub gaming state is any one of GG, EG, SEG or PEG (S903). Here, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is any one of GG, EG, SEG or PEG (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the common lottery process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the sub gaming state is not any of GG, EG, SEG or PEG (NO), the sub CPU 102 performs a lottery lottery at the time of winning GG for distributing the GG continuation rate (S904). Next, the sub CPU 102 stocks the GG continuation rate determined by the GG winning allocation random selection in the sub RAM 103 (S905).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub flag conversion number is any of 23 to 25 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is “red 7 N”, “red 7 SP” or “GOD”) (S 906).

  Here, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is any one of 23 to 25 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes a normal middle CZ precursor counter (S 907), and sets the number of GG precursor games to 0. Set (S908), set the next gaming state to GG (S909), and end the common lottery process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is neither 23 nor 25 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of GG precursor games is 0 or not (S910).

The result of the number lottery is set to the number of GG precursor games (S912), and the common lottery process is ended.

<Post-lottery processing>
FIG. 108 is a flowchart showing a post-lottery process that is executed in step S464 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether there is a GG continuation rate stored in the sub RAM 103 (S920). Here, if it is determined that there is the GG continuation rate stored in the sub RAM 103 (YES), the sub CPU 102 continues the lottery for performing the lottery at one GG continuation rate out of the GG continuation rates stored in the sub RAM 103 Perform a lottery (S921).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the continuation rate random determination has been won (S922). Here, if it is determined that the continuation rate random determination has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the value of the GG counter (S923). On the other hand, if it is determined that the continuation rate lottery has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 deletes the GG continuation rate used for the lottery from the sub RAM 103 (S924).

  If it is determined in step S920 that there is no GG continuation rate stored in sub RAM 103 (NO), or after the process of step S924 is executed, sub CPU 102 determines that the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (that is, It is determined whether the sub flag conversion combination name is "right red 7", "red 7 N" or "red 7 SP" (S925).

  Here, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not any of 22 to 24 (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes the CZ activation process shown in FIG. 109 (S926), and the GG activation process shown in FIG. Is executed (S927), and the lottery post-processing is finished.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ precursor games (S 928), and initializes the normal medium CZ precursor counter (S). S929), initialize the number of CZ omen games in GG (S930).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub gaming state is any of EG, SEG or PEG (S931). Here, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is any of EG, SEG or PEG (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the lottery post-processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is neither EG, SEG nor PEG (NO), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of EG games (S 932) and sets the next gaming state to EG (S 933) , Finish the lottery post-processing.

<CZ triggering process>
FIG. 109 is a flowchart showing CZ activation processing executed in step S926 of the post-lottery processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the value of the normal middle CZ precursor counter is 0 or not (S 940). Here, if it is determined that the value of the normal middle CZ precursor counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ lottery games (S941).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether CZ1 exists in the CZ information stock (S942). Here, if it is determined that there is CZ1 in the CZ information stock (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to CZ1 (S943), and ends the CZ activation processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no CZ1 in the CZ information stock (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to CZ2 (S944), and ends the CZ activation process.

  If it is determined in step S940 that the value of the normal medium CZ precursor counter is not 0 (NO), or after the process of step S943 or S944 is executed, the sub CPU 102 determines that the value of the CZ precursor counter in GG is 0. It is determined whether or not (S945).

  Here, if it is determined that the value of the CZ precursor counter in GG is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ activation processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the CZ precursor counter in GG is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ lottery games (S946).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether CZ3 exists in the CZ information stock (S947). Here, if it is determined that there is CZ3 in the CZ information stock (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to CZ3 (S948), and ends the CZ activation process. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no CZ3 in the CZ information stock (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to CZ4 (S949), and ends the CZ activation processing.

<GG triggering process>
FIG. 110 is a flowchart showing GG activation processing executed in step S 927 of the post-lottery processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of GG precursor games is 0 (S950). Here, if it is determined that the number of GG precursor games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the GG activation process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of GG precursor games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of GG games (S 951), sets the next gaming state to GG (S 952), and performs GG activation processing. Finish.

<Output timing of external signal 2>
Next, the output timing of the above-mentioned external signal 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 114 (a) and (b). FIG. 114 (a) is a timing chart of various signals including the external signal 2 when the combination related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the effective line when not in GG by GOD alignment. On the other hand, FIG. 114 (b) is a timing chart of various signals including the external signal 2 when the combination relating to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the effective line again in GG by GOD alignment.

  First, in the present embodiment, when a combination relating to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the effective line, "100" is set or added to the GOD counter (not shown) as the number of games of GG. The GOD counter is a counter that operates when a combination related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the valid line.

  In addition, the value of the GOD counter is decremented by “1” each time a unit game is played, and is finally decremented until it becomes “0”. Note that the value of the GOD counter is provided with an upper limit value, which is, for example, "998".

  Therefore, when the value of the GOD counter is "0", it indicates that the sub gaming state is not in GG by GOD alignment. On the other hand, when the value of the GOD counter is "1" or more, it indicates that the sub gaming state is in GG by GOD alignment. The value of the GOD counter is cleared when the setting change is performed in the pachi-slot machine 1.

  As shown in FIG. 114 (a), when GG by GOD is not in GG, that is, when the value related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the effective line when the value of the GOD counter is "0", the payout signal is turned ON. At a first timing (t1) earlier than the timing (t2) by the time between t1 and t2, the external signal 2 is turned on, that is, output.

  Here, the external signal 2 corresponds to a special combination display signal. In addition, the payout signal is included in various signals transmitted to the external device 200 after the end of the unit game, and specifically indicates the start of medal payout due to the combination relating to GOD1 and GOD2 being displayed on the effective line. It is a signal. The payout signal corresponds to a reference signal.

  As described above, when the sub gaming state when the combination relating to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line is not in GG by GOD alignment, the main CPU 93 performs the first timing (t1) for the payout signal. The external signal 2 is transmitted to the external device 200.

  It should be noted that the external signal 2 turned on at the first timing (t1) is turned off after the predetermined game lock is finished after the payout of medals when the combination concerning GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the effective line .

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 114 (b), when the GOD by GOD alignment is in GG, that is, when the value of the GOD counter is “1”, the combination related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the effective line, the payout is made. The external signal 2 is turned ON, that is, output at a second timing (t3) which is earlier than the signal ON timing (t2) by a time between time t3 and time t2.

  Here, the second timing (t3) is a timing different from the first timing (t1), and specifically, is earlier than the first timing (t1) with respect to the ON timing (t2) of the payout signal. It is timing.

  As described above, when the sub-playing state when the combination relating to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line is in GG by GOD alignment, the main CPU 93 performs the first timing (t1) for the payout signal. The external signal 2 is transmitted to the external device 200 at a second timing (t3) different from the above.

  In this case, the external signal 2 turned on at the second timing (t3) is turned off at the timing t4 before or at the start of payout when the combination relating to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the effective line. Be done. The time from time t3 to time t4 is an arbitrarily set time, for example, 550 msec. Further, the external signal 2 is also turned off when changing the setting of the pachi-slot machine 1.

<Lighting mode of lamp>
Next, the lighting mode of the lamps 19L and 19R will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 115 is a schematic view of the lamp 19L. In addition, although the lighting aspect is demonstrated to an example for the lamp | ramp 19L below, it is comprised similarly about the lamp | ramp 19R.

  As shown in FIG. 115, the lighting of the lamp 19L is controlled independently for each of the three regions 19a, 19b and 19c. That is, the LED group 25 (see FIG. 3) constituting the lamp 19L is controlled to be lighted independently for each of the three areas 19a, 19b and 19c.

  Here, the three areas 19a, 19b and 19c are provided corresponding to the upper, middle and lower areas of the respective reels 3L, 3C and 3R provided in the frame of the display window 4 (see FIG. 2). It is In particular, in the present embodiment, the three areas 19a, 19b and 19c correspond to the upper, middle and lower areas of the left reel 3L displayed in the frame of the display window 4L.

  Specifically, among the three areas 19a, 19b and 19c, the area 19a corresponds to the upper stage of the left reel 3L displayed in the frame of the display window 4L, the area 19b corresponds to the middle stage, and the area 19c. Respectively correspond to the lower part.

  In the present embodiment, the lamp 19L lights one of the three areas 19a, 19b, 19c when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when an effect is generated when the GOD button 29 is pressed). It is controlled.

  At this time, by turning on any of the three areas 19a, 19b, 19c, the symbol of the left reel 3L corresponding to the lighted area (the symbol stopped in any of the upper, middle and lower stages) It can be informed that the internal winning combination of the combination including is established.

  For example, if the symbol stopped at the upper stage of the left reel 3L when the area 19a is lit is "GOD1", it is informed that the internal winning combination of the combination including "GOD1" is established. Thus, the player can predict in advance the established internal winning combination by visually recognizing the lighting area of the lamp 19L.

  The above-mentioned predetermined condition satisfaction timing may be after the stop of the left reel 3L or before the stop of the left reel 3L. In particular, before stopping the left reel 3L, compared with the case where the left reel 3L is stopped at random, the player can see a desired symbol in the area corresponding to the lighting area of the lamp 19L, etc. It is possible to improve the interest to stop operation.

  As described above, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even when the specific condition for shifting the sub gaming state to the GG is not established, when the sub gaming state is CZ, a plurality of each determined by lottery If the special transition condition in which the type of the decorative symbol is the same is established, the sub gaming state is transitioned to the GG, so that it is possible to prevent the player's interest in the display of the decorative symbol from being lowered.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment makes the player's interest in the game by increasing the probability that the special transition condition is established when the sub gaming state is CZ rather than the specific condition is established. It is possible to improve and to improve the operation.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment determines the decorative symbols to be subject to lottery as numeric groups before changing the decorative symbols to be selected by lottery, and changes the number of decorative symbols to be subject to lottery. Since it is possible to change the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied when the sub gaming state is CZ, the expectation of the player in CZ can have a range.

  Further, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when “mirror” is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 as the special decoration symbol when the sub gaming state is CZ, the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied is high. Therefore, it is possible to improve the player's interest in displaying the decorative symbol.

  Further, when the sub gaming state is CZ, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment displays on the liquid crystal display device 11 even if the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type is not displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 GG is added if the combination of the decorated design is a predetermined GG winning reach.

  Therefore, in the unit game in CZ, pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment loses the possibility that the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type is displayed before the final decorative symbol is displayed. Even if there is, the player's expectation can be maintained until the final decorative pattern is displayed.

  Further, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type is partially included in the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11, that is, displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11. When the combination of the decorative symbols is in a state called so-called tempee, by maintaining the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type until the next unit game, the probability that the special transition condition is established in CZ is high. Thus, the player's interest in displaying the decorative symbol can be improved.

  Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 even when the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 partially includes the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type. Depending on the combination of the decorative symbols, the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type is not necessarily maintained until the next unit game, so the player's interest in displaying the decorative symbol can be further improved.

  Further, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment not only performs GG addition according to the result of each unit game in EG, but also advantageously GG addition to the player according to the number of remaining games of EG. In order to return the EG's remaining game count to the specified unit game count, the player can have a variety of expectations for the game in the EG.

  That is, in the conventional gaming machine, when the gaming state shifts to the additional game state, the number of times to add the number of games in the high RT gaming state, which is an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player, is determined. Although there is a problem that the player can only give a sense of monotonous expectation to the game in the gaming state, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment can solve this problem.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment performs GG addition when the history of past unit game results satisfies the predetermined condition regardless of whether the sub gaming state is EG or not. As a result, the player can have a more diverse sense of expectation for the game in the EG.

  Further, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment displays the history of the past unit game results, so that the expectation for the GG addition is obtained even if the player does not store the past unit game results. Can be recognized by the player.

  In addition, pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub gaming state is EG, if a special condition such as winning a lottery according to the internal winning combination is established, lottery until the GG is carried out By maintaining the number of remaining EG games over the number of unit games determined by, the number of EG unit games increases and the probability that the GG will be added is substantially increased. Thus, the player can have a more diverse sense of expectation.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a history of past unit game results in PEG than in the case where a history of past unit game results satisfies a predetermined condition in a sub gaming state other than PEG. Since a person who satisfies the predetermined condition performs GG addition on the player in an advantageous manner, the player can have a more diverse sense of expectation for the game in EG.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a special role at the first and second timings different from each other depending on whether or not the sub gaming state when GOD alignment is displayed is GG by GOD alignment. In order to transmit the display signal to the external device 200, it is possible to transmit to the external device 200 whether or not the sub gaming state when the GOD group transitioning to the GG is displayed is the GG by the GOD group. As a result, on the external device 200 side, it is possible to determine whether or not GOD alignment is displayed again in GG by GOD alignment.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment determines whether the sub gaming state when GOD alignment is displayed is GG by GOD alignment according to the reception timing of the special combination display signal with respect to the reference signal, for example, the payout signal. Can be transmitted to the external device 200.

  In addition, pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is the next in CZ, provided that the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on liquid crystal display device 11 is the transition to heaven when the sub gaming state is CZ. After the unit game, since it is relatively easy to shift to the GG, it is possible to improve the player's interest in the display of the decorative symbol.

  In addition, pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment stops operation in the next unit game when the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type is maintained until the next unit game when the sub gaming state is CZ. In order to further increase the probability that the special transition condition is established in CZ by performing lottery of decorative symbols that are not maintained each time a game is performed, it is possible to improve the player's interest in the game in CZ. it can.

[Modification]
The CZ in-step processing shown in FIGS. 86 and 87 may be as in the modification described with reference to FIGS. 119 and 120 below. Note that the sub CPU 102 refers to a table described below when executing a variation of the CZ in-process.

<CZ1 button stock lottery table>
The CZ1 button stock lottery table shown in FIG. 116 represents the probability that the number of winning counters to be added to the button counter is determined for each sub-flag lottery combination. In the present embodiment, the winning counter number is determined in the non-winning range of 0 to 5.

  For example, when the sub-flag lottery combination is "CU Bell", "1 piece" is determined with a probability of 24576/32768, "2 pieces" is determined with a probability of 6144/32768, and "2 pieces" with a probability of 2048/32768. "5" is determined.

<CZ1GG lottery table>
The CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117 represents the winning probability of the GG with respect to each sub-flag lottery role. For example, when the sub-flag lottery player is "CU Bell", non-winning of GG is determined with a probability of 8192/32768, and winning of GG is determined with a probability of 24576/32768.

<CZ1 button counter GG conversion lottery table>
The CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 118 represents the probability of non-winning and winning of GG with respect to one value of the button counter. In the present embodiment, the winning of GG is determined with a probability of 32768/32768.

  Note that although the CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117 is set so that only the value of the button counter wins, GG does not win or win with a predetermined probability for one value of the button counter. It may be set to

<Process in CZ (Modified example)>
FIGS. 119 and 120 are flowcharts showing a modification of the process in CZ shown in FIGS. 86 and 87.

  First, the sub CPU 102 executes the common processing shown in FIGS. 101 and 102 (S960). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of elapsed games of CZ1 is 0 (S961). Here, if it is determined that the number of elapsed games of CZ1 is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets 5 for the button stock lottery game number (S 962) and sets 1 for the button counter (S 963) .

  If it is determined in step S961 that the CZ1 elapsed game count is not 0 (NO) or after the process of step S963 is completed, the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the CZ1 elapsed game count (S964).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is “right red 7”, “red 7 N” or “red 7 SP”) (S965) ).

  Here, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is neither 22 nor 24 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of button stock lottery games is 0 or not (S966).

  Here, if it is determined that the button stock lottery game number is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the button stock lottery game number (S967). Next, the sub CPU 102 refers to the CZ1 button stock lottery table shown in FIG. 116, and performs CZ1 button stock lottery where the button stock number is determined by lottery with a probability according to the sub flag lottery number (S968). Next, the sub CPU 102 adds the winning counter number to the value of the button counter based on the result of CZ1 button stock lottery (S969), and ends the CZ in-process.

  If it is determined in step S966 that the button stock lottery game count is 0 (YES), sub CPU 102 refers to the CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117, and GG with a probability associated with the sub flag lottery number. CZ1GG lottery which determines whether or not it is won by lottery is performed (S970).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of added GGs is 0 (S971). In the present embodiment, when the CZ1GG lottery is won in step S970, the number of added GGs is set to 1, and in the case of not winning, the number of added GGs is set to 0.

  When it is determined in step S971 that the number of added GGs is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 adds the number of added GGs to the value of the GG counter (S972). Next, the sub CPU 102 performs lottery lottery at the time of winning GG for distributing the GG continuation rate (S973).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 stocks the GG continuation rate determined by the GG winning allocation random selection in the sub RAM 103 (S 974). If it is determined in step S971 that the number of added GGs is 0 (YES), or after the process of step S974, the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the value of the button counter (S975).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the value of the button counter is 0 (S976). Here, if it is determined that the value of the button counter is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ in-process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the button counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the value of the GG counter is 1 or more (S977). Here, if it is determined that the value of the GG counter is not 1 or more (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of CZ information stock is 1 or more (S978).

  Here, if it is determined that the number of CZ information stock is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 performs the normal middle CZ precursor counter lottery (S979), and the normal middle CZ precursor counter lottery result is normally middle The CZ main precursor counter is set (S980).

  If it is determined in step S978 that the number of CZ information stock is not 1 or more (NO), or after the processing of step S980 is executed, the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to normal (S981), and during CZ End the process.

  If it is determined in step S977 that the value of the GG counter is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of GG games (S982), and sets 0 as the number of GG prediction games (S983) Then, the next gaming state is set to GG (S984), and the CZ in-process is ended.

  If it is determined in step S965 that the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (YES), the sub CPU 102 clears the button stock lottery game count to 0 (S985).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the value of the button counter is 0 (S986). Here, if it is determined that the value of the button counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ in-process.

  On the other hand, when determining that the value of the button counter is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the value of the button counter (S987). Next, the sub CPU 102 performs CZ button counter GG conversion lottery which performs lottery of GG with the probability indicated in the CZ button counter GG conversion lottery table shown in FIG. 118 (S988).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the CZ button counter GG conversion lottery has won the GG (S 989). Here, if it is determined that GG has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the value of the GG counter (S990).

  If it is determined in step S 989 that GG has not been won (NO), or after the processing of step S 990 is executed, the sub CPU 102 executes the processing of step S 986.

  Although the CZ in process shown in FIGS. 119 and 120 has been described as being executed instead of the CZ in process shown in FIGS. 86 and 87, when the sub game state is CZ1 or CZ3, 86. The CZ in process shown in FIG. 86 and FIG. 87 is executed, and the CZ in process shown in FIG. 119 and 120 is executed when the sub gaming state is CZ2 or CZ4, etc., CZ1 to CZ4. However, any CZ in-process may be executed.

  In addition, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is shifted to CZ, whether the sub CPU 102 executes the processing in CZ shown in FIG. 86 and FIG. 87 by the lottery and the sub flag lottery number, etc. It may be selected whether the processing during CZ shown in 120 is to be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the pachislot machine 1 has been described as an example in which the number of sets is applied as the number representing the period of GG advantageous to the player and the addition number to be added to GG. The number of games may be applied, or the number of notifications (number of navigations) may be applied to advantageously win so-called increasing combinations with different winning modes according to the pressing order, and even if the medal payout number is applied It is also possible to apply a net increase number obtained by subtracting the insertion number from the payout number of medals.
