It is output after the third stop in the game when the internal winning combination of the right red 7 rips 1 and 2 is won.

In addition to this, for example, the security signal is a signal that can be recognized when an error occurs (for example, when a medal is blocked), when the door is opened, when the setting is changed, and the like, and is output when each event occurs.

Here, the main CPU 93 is configured to transmit the above-mentioned various signals to the external device 200 via the external centralized terminal board 56 as signals representing the state of the pachi-slot machine 1. In this way, the main CPU 93 constitutes a state transmission means.

[Change of game state]
As the game state of the pachi-slot machine 1, the main CPU 93 is adapted to shift two game states, a main game state and an RT game state, respectively.

<Change of main game state>
As shown in FIG. 7, the main CPU 93 takes one of a normal gaming state and a BB gaming state as the main gaming state. In the general gaming state, the main gaming state shifts to the BB gaming state when a winning combination of a big bonus (hereinafter, simply referred to as “BB”) as a bonus game is won. Here, the BB is always in the internally winning state from the time when the winning combination is won until the winning combination of the winning combination of the BB is won. Hereinafter, this state is referred to as a “BB carry-over state”.

In the BB game state, when the BB end condition is satisfied, the main game state is, specifically, B
In the B game state, when the medals are paid out in excess of the specified number (86 in the present embodiment), the game state shifts to the normal game state. The operation and termination of such BB is performed by the main C
It is controlled by the PU 93. In this way, the main CPU 93 constitutes a bonus game control means.

The main CPU 93 takes one of a BB general gaming state and an RB gaming state as the BB gaming state.

When the general game state is changed to the BB game state, the main game state is changed to the BB general game state. In the BB general gaming state, the main gaming state shifts to the RB gaming state when the winning combination of the RB is won. Here, the RB is in a state where it is internally won from the time when an internal winning is won until the winning combination of the RB is won. Hereinafter, this state is referred to as “RB carry-over state”.
Say.

In the RB gaming state, the winning probability of each small winning combination is stipulated to be low, but the display probability that the combination of symbols forming any one small winning combination is displayed is set to be higher than that in the BB general gaming state. ing.

In the RB game state, the main game state is, when the RB end condition is satisfied, specifically, R
When the number of games in the B game state reaches a prescribed number (1 time in the present embodiment), or the number of winnings of a small winning combination with a payout is the prescribed number (1 time in the present embodiment) When it becomes, it shifts to the BB general game state. The transition of the main game state in such a BB game state is controlled by the main CPU 93. In this way, the main CPU 9
3 constitutes a bonus game state transition control means.

In the RB game state, the main game state shifts to the normal game state when the BB end condition is satisfied. Further, in the RB carryover state, the main game state shifts to the normal game state when the BB end condition is satisfied.

<Change of RT game state>
In the general gaming state, the main CPU 93 takes one of the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state as the RT gaming state. That is, the main CPU 93 shifts the RT gaming state between the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state. In this way, the main CPU 93 constitutes RT game state transition control means.

The RT0 gaming state is a replay low-probability state (low RT gaming state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination, which is the act of replaying, is relatively lower than 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 combination is relatively higher than the RT0 gaming state.

In the RT0 gaming state of the general gaming state, the RT gaming state shifts to the RT1 gaming state when the working combination of BB is determined as the internal winning combination. On the other hand, in the RT1 gaming state of the normal gaming state, the RT gaming state shifts to the RT0 gaming state when the winning combination of the BB 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, and only shift to another gaming state when the above-described shift condition is satisfied. In that sense, the RT1 gaming state and the RT0 gaming state are infinite RT.

In addition, as the 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 winning the winning combination of BB, ending of BB, and transitioning the RT gaming state. It may be that the unit game is executed a predetermined number of times.

[Sub game status of gaming machines]
FIG. 8 is a state transition diagram of the sub game state in the pachi-slot machine 1. As described above, while the RT game state is shifted by the main CPU 93, the sub CPU 102 determines the contents of the effect, thereby notifying the stop operation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, thereby giving an internal winning combination. For the player, winning or non-winning is advantageous, and the sub game state is changed.

In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a game state transition means for transitioning the game state to the advantageous game state in which the information of the advantageous stop operation regarding the medal award is notified when the specific condition is satisfied.

In the present embodiment, the advantageous game 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 won or won in favor of the player. To do.

Further, in the present embodiment, “AT” means “GG”, “EG”, “PEG” described later.
And "SEG" are included. Further, a state in which the AT state and the RT game state are high replay probability states is referred to as "ART".

<GG>
The "GG" is performed with a predetermined number of games (100 games in the present embodiment) as one set. In this way, since it is possible to win the internal winning combination in the GG without increasing the number of medals, it is possible to obtain more medals as the number of GG sets increases. be able to. Therefore, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, adding the number of GG sets (hereinafter, also referred to as “addition”) has a great influence on the acquisition of medals.

When the specific condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to GG. The 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. In this way, the sub CPU 10
2 constitutes a game 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 a predetermined number of times or more, or when a specific internal winning combination is won a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined number of games. If you do.

In addition, when the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to GG, the sub CPU 102 notifies the GG that the sub game state is to be shifted by a combination of a plurality of decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11. In this way, the sub CPU 102 and the liquid crystal display device 11 constitute a game state transition notifying means.

<CZ>
When the special condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to a special mode (hereinafter, referred to as “CZ”) that can shift the sub game state to GG even if the specific condition is not satisfied. The special condition is to win a lottery according to the history of the internal winning combination. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a special mode transition means.

The sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is not in the AT state, when it is determined to shift to CZ, the first special mode that indicates to shift to CZ1 or CZ2 as the first special mode.
When the special mode stock information is accumulated in a predetermined storage area of the sub RAM 103 (hereinafter referred to as "CZ information stock"), and when it is decided to shift to CZ when the sub gaming state is the AT state, Second indicating the shift to CZ3 or CZ4 as the second special mode
The CZ can be stocked by accumulating the special mode stock information in the CZ information stock.

When the sub game state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 determines a plurality of decorative symbols to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11, in the present embodiment, three decorative symbols by lottery. Specifically, the sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is CZ, the stop switch 17
Every time a stop operation is detected by S, at least one decorative symbol to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is randomly determined. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a decorative symbol determining means.

Each time the sub CPU 102 determines a decorative pattern, the sub CPU 102 displays the determined decorative pattern on the image display means. Thus, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a decorative symbol display means. When the sub game state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to GG when the special transition condition that the types of the three decorative symbols to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same.

Specifically, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub gaming state to any of CZ1 to CZ4 according to the sub gaming state when shifting to CZ. When the sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is CZ (CZ1 or CZ2) that has shifted from normal, if the special transition condition that the types of the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same is satisfied, , The sub game state is transferred to GG.

On the other hand, the sub CPU 102 is a CZ (CZ3 or CZ4) whose sub game state has changed from GG.
), if the special transition condition that the types of the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same, GG is added.

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

In the present embodiment, as the CZ end condition, the special transition condition is satisfied and C
For example, Z continued for 5 games. It should be noted that the GG winning reach is not displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 when the sub game state is normal, and the liquid crystal display device during the GG main sign from when the sub game state is won to when the sub game state is changed to GG. It is included in the reach eye which is the display result displayed in 11.

In addition, the sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is CZ, on the condition that the combination of decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 partially includes a combination of decorative symbols of the same type,
In the next unit game in CZ, hold (H which maintains a combination of decorative symbols of the same type)
OLD) is performed, and decorative patterns that are not maintained are randomly determined.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102, on condition that the hold is performed,
In the next unit game in the CZ, it will be described that decorative symbols that are not maintained are determined by lottery, but in the next unit game in the CZ, each time a stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S, it is not maintained. The decorative design 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 designs displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 partially includes a combination of decorative designs of the same type. Hold is performed on condition that the combination of the decorative patterns displayed on the device 11 is a special combination among the combinations partially including the same type of decorative patterns.

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

<EG>
When the specific shift condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to an additional game state (hereinafter, referred to as “EG”) in which lottery for additional GG is performed as a prescribed unit game number over 16 games.

For example, the sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is CZ, when "SSS" is displayed as a special symbol combination on the liquid crystal display device 11, the sub game state is shifted to GG and is also shifted to EG. Let

When the sub game state is EG, the sub CPU 102, for example, wins an internal winning combination in which the red 7 is aligned in the display window 4, and the red 7 alignment is displayed in the display window 4 as a predetermined symbol combination. On the condition that GG is added, rewind is performed to set the number of remaining games in EG to 16 which is the specified number of unit games. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes an additional game number setting means.

When the GG is added when the sub game state is EG, the sub CPU 102 advantageously adds the GG to the player according to the number of remaining games in the EG. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes an advantageous game state addition means.

Specifically, when the sub game state is EG, the sub CPU 102 adds GG with a higher continuation rate as the number of remaining games in EG is smaller. Here, the GG continuity rate refers to the probability that GG will be further added when GG is added. That is, the sub CPU
The lottery 102 draws lots until the winning rate is non-win at the GG continuation rate, and adds GG for the number of times of winning.

<PEG>
When the special transition condition is satisfied when the sub game state is EG, the sub CPU 102
A high-addition high-probability state in which the probability of GG addition being relatively high relative to EG (hereinafter,
The sub game state is transferred to "(PEG)". Special transition conditions include winning the PEG promotion lottery that is performed when the sub gaming state transitions to EG, and winning the rewinding lottery to rewind to the PEG.

When the sub game state is PEG, the sub CPU 102 adds GG on the condition that the rewind is won, and sets the number of remaining games in EG to 16 to set the sub game state by rewind lottery. Transfer to EG or PEG.

It should be noted that the sub CPU 102 is in a case where the history of the internal winning combination satisfies the predetermined condition in the PEG, as compared to the case where the history of the internal winning combination satisfies the predetermined condition in the gaming state other than the PEG. May advantageously add GG to the player.

That is, in the lottery according to the history of the internal winning combination, the GG is more advantageously added to the player when the sub game state is PEG than when the sub game state is other than PEG. You may

Specifically, in the lottery according to the history of the internal winning combination, 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. May be.

Further, the sub CPU 102 gives the player a case in which the small winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination in the PEG, rather than a case in which the small winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination in the gaming state other than PEG. On the other hand, GG may be advantageously added.

Specifically, in the lottery corresponding to the internal winning combination, 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. Good.

<SEG>
When the special condition is satisfied when the sub game state is EG, the sub CPU 102 is GG.
Until the addition is performed, the sub game state is shifted to a state (hereinafter, referred to as “SEG”) in which the subtraction of the game number of EG is stopped over the unit game number determined by lottery.

That is, when the sub-game state becomes SEG, the number of EG games substantially increases, and the probability of GG addition being substantially increased. As a special condition, SE described later

After executing the process of step S28, the third process of step S11 is executed.

<Power-on process>
FIG. 60 is a flowchart 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 the error detection using the checksum value.

For example, the main CPU 93 stores the set value and the like of the pachi-slot machine 1 and the checksum value calculated from the set value and the like in the main RAM 95 as backup data when the power is turned off, and the determination process at power-on (S30). At, the setting values and checksum values stored in the main RAM 95 are read.

Here, the main CPU 93 compares the checksum calculated from the read set value and the backup checksum, and if the comparison results match, determines that the backup is normal.

When determining that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 93 sets the backed up setting value and the like (S31). As a result, if the backup is normal, the set value before the power is turned off is set.

After executing the process 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 pachi-slot machine 1. It is determined whether or not (S32). Here, if it is determined 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 changing the setting, for example, the data stored in the internal winning combination storing area and the display winning combination storing area of the main RAM 95 are cleared and the set 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 assigned to the main RAM 95 (S34). .. The initialization command data represents, for example, whether or not the setting value has been changed, the setting value, and the like.

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 according to the operation result of the reset switch, and the setting value selected when the start lever 16 is operated is fixed.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the setting change switch is in the on state (S3
6) The process of step S36 is repeatedly executed until the determination result that the ON state is not obtained.

Here, when the result of the determination that the setting change switch is not in the ON state is obtained (NO),
The main CPU 93 generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, stores the generated initialization command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S37), and turns on the power. The time processing ends.

When determining in step S32 that the setting change switch is not on (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether the backup is normal (S38). 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 processing, the main CPU 93 displays an error display or the like that the backup is not normal. Note that the main CPU 93 does not release the error state by operating the stop release switch or the reset switch when the backup is in an abnormal state (backup error), and a new setting change is made. Only if the error condition is cleared.

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

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

First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not there is an automatic insertion request (S50). When the player wins the replay role in the previous unit game, medals are automatically inserted in the unit game this time. That is, in the determination process of step S50, it may be determined whether or not the 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), it executes an automatic insertion process (S51). In the automatic insertion process, the same number of medals as those 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 assigned to the main RAM 95. Execute the transmission process (S
52). Here, the medal insertion command data represents, for example, the presence/absence of a medal insertion, the value of the inserted number counter, the value of the credit counter, and the like.

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

If it is determined in step S50 that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), the main CPU 93 is in a state in which reception of medals has been prohibited from the previous unit game, and therefore processing relating to reception of medals. Does not run.

After the processing of step S52 or S53 is executed, the main CPU 93 sets the maximum value of the number of inserted medals according to the game state (S54). In the present embodiment, the maximum number of inserted medals is 3.

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

In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 satisfies the condition that the number of inserted cards is three and the credit is 50, or that the automatic insertion process of step S51 is executed. Sometimes, it is determined that medals cannot be inserted or credited, and when the condition is not satisfied, medals can be inserted or credited.

If it is determined in step S58 that medals cannot be inserted or credited (NO), the main CPU 93 prohibits medal acceptance (S59). For example, the main CPU 93 forms a path through which medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 13 are discharged from the medal payout opening 21 without driving the solenoid of the selector.

When it is determined in step S55 that the acceptance of medals is not permitted (NO
), if it is determined in step S58 that medals can be inserted or credited (YES), or after executing the process of step S59, the main CPU 93 determines whether the number of medals inserted is the number at which the game can be started. It is determined whether or not (S60).

That is, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of inserted medals is the number at which the unit game can be started according to the game state. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of inserted medals is three.

If it is determined that the number of inserted medals is not the number at which the game can be started (NO)
The main CPU 93 executes the process of step S55. On the other hand, when determining that the number of inserted medals is the number at which the game can be started (YES), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the start switch 64 is on (S61).

If it is determined that the start switch 64 is not on (NO), the main CP
The U93 executes the process of step S55. On the other hand, when determining that the start switch 64 is on (YES), the main CPU 93 prohibits the acceptance of medals (S6).

The light emitting mode of the light emitter 14a of the MAX bet button 14 is maintained. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102, at least from the start of the unit game until the game preparation command data is received, the MAX bet button 14
The light-emitting body 14a is maintained in a non-light-emitting state.

Even if the light-emitting body 14a of the MAX bet button 14 is kept in a non-light emitting state, the sub CPU 102 produces the insertion sound according to the insertion of each medal and the normal effect at the time of inserting a medal by various lamps other than the MAX bet button 14. Tolerate.

Note that the sub CPU 102 may change at least one of an insertion sound and an effect at the time of inserting a medal by various lamps other than the MAX bet button 14 on condition that the effect is performed by the MAX bet button 14.

<Sound control task>
FIG. 75 is a flowchart showing the sound control task started in step S352 of the power-on processing shown in FIG. 73.

First, the sub CPU 102 executes an initialization process of sound-related data related to the sound output state from the speakers 23L and 23R (S370). Next, the sub CPU 102 executes a task in the next priority of the task group of timer interrupt synchronization which is the same group as the sound control task, that is, the lamp control task (S371).

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes a sound data analysis process (S372), a sound effect execution process (S373), and executes the process of step S371.

<Mother task>
FIG. 76 is a flow chart showing the mother task activated in step S353 of the power-on processing shown in FIG.

In the mother task, the sub CPU 102 activates the main task (S380), activates the main board communication task (S381), and activates the animation task (S382).

<Main task>
77 is a flow chart showing the main task started in step S380 of the mother task shown in FIG.

In the main task, the sub CPU 102 executes VSYNC interrupt initialization processing (S
390), and VSYNC interrupt waiting is executed (S391). Next, the sub CPU 102 executes the drawing process (S392) and executes the process of step S391.

<Main board communication task>
FIG. 78 is a flowchart showing the main board communication task started in step S381 of the mother task shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 initializes the communication message queue (S400), and checks the received command (S401).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not a valid command has been received (S402).
.. If it is determined that a valid command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 1
02 executes the process of step S401.

On the other hand, when determining that the valid command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 creates game information from the received command and stores the created game information in the sub RAM 103 (S403). Next, the sub CPU 102 executes the command analysis process shown in FIG. 79 (S404) and executes the process of step S401.

<Command analysis processing>
79 is a flowchart showing the command analysis process executed in step S404 of the main board communication task shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 executes a command consistency determination process for determining the consistency of the received command (S410). In the command consistency determination process, the sub CPU 102
Detects illegal progress of games.

Specifically, the sub CPU 102 has a start command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, and a winning operation command (hereinafter, also collectively referred to as "game progress command").
Is a start command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command indicating that the first stop reel stops, a reel stop command indicating that the second stop reel stops, and a reel stop indicating that the third stop reel stops. It is determined whether or not the command and the winning operation command are received in this order.

For example, when the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the reel rotation start command after the start command, it determines that the progress of the game is illegal.

Further, if the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the reel stop command indicating that the first stop reel is to be stopped next to the reel rotation start command, it determines that the progress of the game is illegal.

Further, when the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the reel stop command indicating that the second stop reel will stop next to the reel stop command indicating that the first stop reel will stop, the sub CPU 102 advances the game. Is determined to be incorrect.

Further, when the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the reel stop command indicating that the third stop reel will stop next to the reel stop command indicating that the second stop reel will stop, the sub CPU 102 advances the game. Is determined to be incorrect.

If the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the winning operation command after the reel stop command indicating that the third stop reel is stopped, the sub CPU 102 determines that the progress of the game is illegal. When the sub CPU 102 receives a game progress command other than the start command after the winning operation command, the sub CPU 102 determines that the progress of the game is illegal.

In addition, when the sub CPU 102 receives the prize operation command, the unit game number included in the prize operation command data is the unit game included in the prize operation command data when the last prize operation command is received. If the number is not substantially increased by one, it is determined that the progress of the game is illegal.

Here, “substantially” means, for example, when the number of unit games included in the winning operation command data is counted by a 4-bit counter that repeatedly counts 0 to 15 games on the main CPU 93 side. The number of unit games included in the winning operation command data is "0", and the number of unit games included in the previously received winning operation command is "15".
In the case of “,” it means that the number is increased by one. In this case, the sub CPU 10
2 does not judge that the progress of the game is illegal.

When the main CPU 93 is configured to generate all command data regarding the progress of the game so as to include the counted number of unit games, the sub CPU 102 processes the start command reception time and the reel rotation start command reception. Also in the time process and the reel stop command reception process, it is determined whether or not the progress of the game is illegal, as in the winning operation command reception process.

Further, when the main CPU 93 is configured to generate reel stop command data so as to include the counted number of unit games, the sub CPU 102, in units of the first stop reel to the third stop reel, or reels. It is determined for each type of 3L, 3C, 3R whether or not the progress of the game is illegal.

In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes an illegal game progress detecting means for detecting an illegal progress of the game from the received command data. When the sub CPU 102 detects an illegal progress of the game, the sub CPU 102 stops the process related to the progress of the game and notifies the liquid crystal display device 11 of an image indicating that the game has been illegally progressed.

Further, when the sub CPU 102 detects an illegal progress of the game, the player is disadvantageous in that the GG lottery is not performed during this unit game or until a predetermined number of games have elapsed since this unit game. It may be possible to impose a penalty of

For example, in the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102, when the sub game state is CZ, even if the condition for performing HOLD is satisfied, when the illegal progress of the game is detected, H
It is designed to impose a penalty of not performing OLD.

After executing the process of S410, the sub CPU 102 executes the effect content determination process shown in FIG. 81 (S411), the lamp data determination process (S412), and the sound data determination process (S413). The respective data thus obtained are registered (S414), and the command analysis processing ends.

<Anime task>
FIG. 80 is a flowchart showing the animation task started in step S382 of the mother task shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 checks a change from the previous game information (S420). Specifically, the sub CPU 102 determines that the current game information updated by the interrupt processing under the control of the main CPU 93 shown in FIG. 71 is the game information registered in the sub RAM 103 in the interrupt processing up to the previous time. Check if the game information is different.

Next, the sub CPU 102 executes an object control process (S421). Specifically, when the check result that the game information is changed is obtained in step S420, the sub C
The PU 102 controls an image according to the change in the game information.

Subsequently, the sub CPU 102 executes an animation task management process (S422). Specifically, the sub CPU 102 manages the order of images displayed in various effects. After executing the animation task management process, the sub CPU 102 executes the process of step S420.

<Production content determination processing>
FIG. 81 is a flowchart showing the effect contents determination process executed in step S411 of the command analysis process shown in FIG. 79.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not an initialization command has been received (S430).
.. If it is determined that the initialization command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102
Executes the initialization command reception process (S431), and ends the effect content determination process. In the initialization command reception process, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the initialization command including the presence or absence of the change of the set value and the information of the set value is set in the sub RAM 103.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the initialization command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 10
2 determines whether or not a medal insertion command has been received (S432). Here, if it is determined that the medal insertion command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a medal insertion command reception process (S433), and ends the effect content determination process.

In the medal insertion command receiving process, for example, effect data based on information transmitted as a medal insertion command including the presence/absence of a medal insertion and the values of the inserted number counter and the credit counter are set.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the medal insertion command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU
102 determines whether or not a start command has been received (S434). Here, if it is determined that the start command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the start command reception process shown in FIG. 82 (S435), and ends the effect content determination process.

In the start command reception process, for example, a game state flag type, a bonus end number counter value, an internal winning combination type, a lock type flag value, and a performance timer value are transmitted as a start command. The performance data based on the information is set.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 1
02 determines whether or not a reel rotation start command has been received (S436). Here, if it is determined that the reel rotation start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102
The reel rotation start command reception process is executed (S437), and the effect content determination process ends. In the process at the time of receiving the reel rotation start command, for example, the effect data based on the information transmitted as the reel rotation start command indicating that the rotation of the reel has been started is set.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the reel rotation start command has not been received (NO), the sub C
The PU 102 determines whether or not a reel stop command has been received (S438). here,
When it is determined that the reel stop command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the reel stop command reception process shown in FIG. 88 (S439), and ends the effect content determination process.

In the process at the time of receiving the reel stop command, the effect data based on the information transmitted as the reel stop command including the type of the stop reel, the stop start position, the number of sliding pieces (or the planned stop position), etc. is set.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the reel stop command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU
The player 102 determines whether or not a winning operation command has been received (S440). Here, when it is determined that the winning operation command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a winning operation command reception process (S441), and ends the effect content determination process.

In the process at the time of receiving the winning operation command, for example, the effect data based on the information transmitted as the winning operation command including the type of the display combination, the flag related to the lock, the number of paid-out medals, etc. is set.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning operation command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 1
02 determines whether or not a bonus start command has been received (S442). Here, if it is determined that the bonus start command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a bonus start command reception time process (S443), and ends the effect content determination process. In the bonus start command reception process, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the bonus start command indicating that the bonus has been started is set.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus start command has not been received (NO), the sub CP
U102 determines whether or not a bonus end command has been received (S444). here,
If it is determined that the bonus end command is received (YES), the sub CPU 102
The bonus end command reception process is executed (S445), and the effect content determination process is ended.
In the bonus end command reception process, for example, effect data based on information transmitted as a bonus end command indicating that the bonus has ended is set.

In the pachi-slot machine 1 in the present embodiment, even if the medals that can be acquired in the BB gaming state are taken into consideration, in the RT0 gaming state, since GG lottery is not performed, the RT0 gaming state is played rather than the RT1 gaming state. It is in a disadvantageous state for the player.

It should be noted that the “adverse state” may be a state in which the GG lottery is not performed at all, and “GO
The sub game state may not shift to GG except when a winning combination such as "D" directly wins the winning combination, or the winning probability of GG may be relatively low.

As described above, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is relatively advantageous for the player to play the game while internally winning the winning combination of the BB without shifting to the BB game state.

For this reason, the sub CPU 102 functions as an informing unit, and displays that the BB is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state of the BB from the end of the BB until the working combination of the BB is determined as the internal winning combination. By displaying the information on the device 11 or the like to notify the operator, even if the winning combination of the BB is internally won, attention is given so that the winning combination of the BB is not won.

That is, in the bonus end command reception process, the sub CPU 102 notifies the LCD device 11 by displaying an image showing that the BB is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state.

For example, the sub CPU 102 may cause the liquid crystal display device 11 to display a character string of an abstract expression such as “in preparation” as an image indicating that the BB is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state. Since the bonus has been won, the character string of a concrete expression such as “I am preparing to perform lottery for GG” may be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11.

However, since the pachi-slot machine 1 is in a state where the main RAM 95 is completely cleared or a setting is changed (hereinafter, referred to as “initial state”) like the time of factory shipment, the working combination of BB is internally won. Until it is determined as a winning combination, the sub CPU 102 determines the operating winning combination of the BB as an internal winning combination by the player's game without notifying that it is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state of the BB.

As a result, it is possible to save the labor for the player to decide the winning combination of the BB as the internal winning combination before the player plays the game, and it is difficult for the player to know that the pachi-slot machine 1 is in the initial state. can do.

If it is determined in S444 that the bonus end command has not been received (NO
), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not an input state command has been received (S446).
If it is determined that the input state command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102
Performs the 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 the information transmitted as the input state command indicating whether each operation unit is in the on-edge state or the off-edge state is set. On the other hand, when determining in S446 that the input state command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the effect contents determination process.

<Processing when a start command is received>

Here, when it is determined that the value of the history blue Rensou counter is 3 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the history result to 1 (history blue triples) (S896), and history information generation processing. To finish. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the history blue Rensou counter is not 3 or more (NO
), the sub CPU 102 sets the history result to 0 (none) (S897), and ends the history information generation process.

<Common lottery processing>
FIG. 107 is a flowchart showing the common lottery process executed in step S463 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 102 refers to the additional GG number random determination table corresponding to the sub gaming state among the additional GG number random determination tables (not shown) prepared for each sub gaming state, and randomly determines the additional GG number (S900). .. 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 added GG number is 0 (S901). 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 added GG number is not 0, the sub CPU 102 sets or adds the added GG number to the value of the GG counter (S902). That is, the sub CPU 102
If the value of the GG counter is the initial value, set the number of GG to be added to the value of the GG counter,
When the value of the GG counter is not the initial value, the added GG number is added to the value of the GG counter.

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

On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is neither GG, EG, SEG, nor PEG (NO), the sub CPU 102 carries out a GG winning random allocation lottery for distributing the GG continuation rate (S904). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines the GG determined by the lottery when the GG is won.
The continuation rate is stocked in the sub RAM 103 (S905).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub flag conversion number is 23 to 25 (that is,
It is determined whether or not the sub-flag conversion winning combination name is "red 7N", "red 7SP" or "GOD") (S906).

If it is determined that the subflag conversion number is 23 to 25 (YE
S), the sub CPU 102 initializes the normal CZ book precursor counter (S907), sets 0 to the number of GG book precursor games (S908), and sets the next game state to GG (S909),
The common lottery process ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the subflag conversion number is neither 23 to 25 (NO)
The sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of GG main precursor games is 0 (S910).
If it is determined that the number of GG main precursor games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 10
2 ends the common lottery process.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of GG main precursor games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102
Draws the number of GG premonition games by lottery to determine the number of GG premonition games by lottery (S911).
), the result of the lottery for the number of GG main predictive games is set to the number of the number of GG main predictive games (S912), and the common lottery process is ended.

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

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is a GG continuation rate stocked in the sub RAM 103 (S920). Here, if it is determined that there is a GG continuation rate stocked in the sub RAM 103 (YES), the sub CPU 102 randomly selects one of the GG continuation rates stocked in the sub RAM 103 to continue the lottery. The lottery is carried out (S921).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the continuation rate lottery has been won (S922). Here, if it is determined that the continuation rate lottery has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102, the GG
1 is added to the value of the counter (S923). On the other hand, when it is determined that the continuation rate lottery has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines the GG continuation rate used in the lottery as the sub RAM 103.
Are deleted from (S924).

When it is determined in step S920 that there is no GG continuation rate stored in the sub RAM 103 (NO), or after the processing of step S924 is executed, the sub CPU 102 determines that the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (that is, the sub flag conversion number is 22 to 24). It is determined whether or not the sub-flag conversion combination name is "right red 7", "red 7N" or "red 7SP") (S925).

If it is determined that the subflag conversion number is neither 22 to 24 (N
O), the sub CPU 102 executes the CZ activation process shown in FIG. 109 (S926), and FIG.
The GG activation process shown in 0 is executed (S927), and the lottery post-process is ended.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the subflag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (YES
), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ predictive games (S928), initializes the normal CZ predictive counter (S929), and initializes the number of CZ predictive games in GG (S930).
).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the sub game state is EG, SEG, or PEG (S931). Here, when it is determined that the sub gaming state is 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 game state is neither EG, SEG, nor PEG ((
NO), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of EG games (S932), and sets the next game state to EG.
Is set (S933), and the post-lottery processing is ended.

<CZ activation processing>
109 is a CZ executed in step S926 of the lottery post-processing shown in FIG.
It is a flowchart which shows an activation process.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the value of the normal CZ main warning counter is 0 (S940). Here, if it is determined that the value of the normal CZ main warning counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ lottery games (S941).

Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is CZ1 in the CZ information stock (S
942). Here, when it is determined that the CZ information stock has CZ1 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the next game state to CZ1 (S943), and ends the CZ activation process. On the other hand, if it is determined that CZ1 is not in the CZ information stock (NO), the sub CPU1
02 sets the next game state to CZ2 (S944), and ends the CZ activation process.

When it is determined in step S940 that the value of the normal CZ main warning counter is not 0 (NO), or after the processing of step S943 or S944 is executed, the sub CPU 1
02 determines whether the value of the CZ main sign counter in GG is 0 (S945).

Here, if it is determined that the value of the CZ main precursor counter in GG is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ activation process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the CZ main sign 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 or not there is CZ3 in the CZ information stock (S
947). Here, when it is determined that the CZ information stock has CZ3 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the next game state to CZ3 (S948), and ends the CZ activation process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the CZ information stock does not have CZ3 (NO), the sub CPU1
02 sets the next game state to CZ4 (S949), and ends the CZ activation process.

<GG activation processing>
FIG. 110 shows the GG executed in step S927 of the lottery post-processing shown in FIG.
It is a flowchart which shows an activation process.

First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of GG main precursor games is 0 (S95).
0). Here, if it is determined that the number of GG main precursor games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU
102 ends the GG activation process.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of GG main precursor games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 10
2 initializes the number of GG games (S951) and sets the next game state to GG (S952)
, GG activation processing ends.

<Output timing of external signal 2>
Next, the output timing of the external signal 2 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 114(a) and 114(b). FIG. 114A shows GOD1 and GOD when not in GG due to GOD alignment.
It is a timing chart of various signals including the external signal 2 when the combination related to OD2 is displayed on the activated line. On the other hand, FIG. 114(b) is a timing chart of various signals including the external signal 2 when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed again on the activated line during GG by GOD alignment.

First, in the present embodiment, when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line, the number of GG games is displayed as “100” on the GOD counter (not shown).
Is set or added. The GOD counter is a counter that operates when a combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line.

Also, the value of the GOD counter is decremented by "1" every time a unit game is played, and finally "
It is subtracted until it becomes "0". Note that the GOD counter value has an upper limit value,
This upper limit value is, for example, "998".

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

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

Here, the external signal 2 corresponds to a special combination display signal. The payout signal is included in various signals transmitted to the external device 200 after the unit game is finished, and specifically, GOD1 and GOD2.
Is a signal indicating the start of payout of medals when the combination according to is displayed on the activated line. The payout signal corresponds to the reference signal.

In this way, the main CPU 93 is at the first timing (t1) with respect to the payout signal when the sub game state when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line is not GG due to GOD alignment. The external signal 2 is transmitted to the external device 200.

The external signal 2 turned on at the first timing (t1) is turned off after the payout of medals when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line and after the predetermined game lock is completed. ..

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 114(b), when the GG is in the GOD alignment, that is, G
When the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line when the value of the OD counter is “1”, the ON timing (t2) of the payout signal is advanced by the time period between the time t3 and the time t2. At the timing 2 (t3), the external signal 2 is turned on, that is, output.

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

In this way, the main CPU 93, when the sub game state when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the activated line is GG by GOD alignment, the first timing (t1) with respect to the payout signal. The external signal 2 is transmitted to the external device 200 at the second timing (t3) different from the above.

In this case, the external signal 2 turned on at the second timing (t3) is GOD1 and GOD.
It is turned off before the start of payout of medals or at the timing of time t4 at the start of payout when the combination of 2 is displayed on the activated line. The time from time t3 to time t4 is an arbitrarily set time, for example, 550 msec. Also, the external signal 2 is
It is also turned off when the setting of the pachi-slot machine 1 is changed.

<Lamp lighting mode>
Next, a lighting mode of the lamps 19L and 19R will be described with reference to FIG. 115. Figure 1
15 is a schematic diagram of the lamp 19L. Although the lighting mode of the lamp 19L will be described below as an example, the lamp 19R has the same configuration.

As shown in FIG. 115, the lighting of the lamp 19L is controlled independently for each of the three regions 19a, 19b, 19c. That is, L that composes the lamp 19L
The ED group 25 (see FIG. 3) is independently light-controlled for each of the three regions 19a, 19b, and 19c.

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

Specifically, of the three regions 19a, 19b, and 19c, the region 19a corresponds to the upper stage of the left reel 3L displayed in the frame of the display window 4L, the region 19b corresponds to the middle stage, and the region 19
c corresponds to the lower part, respectively.

In the present embodiment, the lamp 19L lights one of the three areas 19a, 19b, and 19c when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when the effect of pressing the GOD button 29 occurs). Controlled.

At this time, one of the three areas 19a, 19b, and 19c is lit, so that the symbol of the left reel 3L corresponding to the illuminated area (the symbol stopped at any of the upper, middle, and lower tiers) It is possible to notify that the internal winning combination of the combination including “” has been established.

For example, when the area 19a is turned on, the symbol stopped on the upper stage of the left reel 3L is "GOD1".
In the case of “”, it is notified that the internal winning combination of the combination including “GOD1” has been established. This allows the player to visually recognize the lighting region of the lamp 19L,
The winning internal winning combination can be predicted in advance.

The timing for satisfying the above-described predetermined condition may be after the left reel 3L is stopped or before the left reel 3L is stopped. In particular, in the case before the left reel 3L is stopped, compared with the case where the left reel 3L is stopped randomly, the desired symbol is pushed in the area corresponding to the lighting area of the lamp 19L, etc. of the player. The interest for the stop operation can be improved.

As described above, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even when the specific condition for shifting the sub game state to GG is not established, when the sub game state is CZ, a plurality of decorations respectively determined If the special transition condition that the types of symbols are the same is satisfied, the sub game state is G
Since the process is shifted to G, it is possible to prevent the player's interest in displaying the decorative pattern from being lowered.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment makes the player's interest in the game higher by increasing the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied when the sub game state is CZ rather than when the specific condition is satisfied. It can be improved and the operation can be improved.

In addition, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment determines a decorative pattern to be randomly selected as a number group before determining a decorative pattern, and changes the number of decorative patterns to be randomly selected, Since it is possible to change the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied when the game state is CZ, it is possible to give the player a degree of expectation in the CZ.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub game state is CZ, when "mirror" is displayed as the special decorative pattern on the liquid crystal display device 11, the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied becomes high. Therefore, the player's interest in the display of the decorative pattern can be improved.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub game state is CZ, even if the combination of decorative symbols of the same type is not displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11, it is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11. If the combination of the decorative patterns is a predetermined GG winning reach, GG is added.

Therefore, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in a unit game in CZ, there is no possibility that a combination of combinations of decorative symbols of the same type is displayed before the last decorative symbol is displayed. Even if there is, the player's expectation can be maintained until the last decorative pattern is displayed.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment displays a case where a combination of decorative designs of the same type is partially included in the combination of decorative designs displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11, that is, the liquid crystal display device 11 displays the combination. When the combination of decorative patterns is in a so-called tempai state, by maintaining the combination of decorative patterns of the same type until the next unit game, the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied in CZ is high. Therefore, the player's interest in displaying the decorative pattern can be improved.

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

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, G according to the result of each unit game in EG
Not only is G added, but GG is added to the player according to the number of remaining games in EG, and the remaining number of games in EG is returned to the specified unit number of games. As a result, the player can have various expectations.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment performs GG addition when the history of past unit game results satisfies a predetermined condition regardless of whether or not the sub game state is EG. As a result, it is possible to make the player have more various expectations regarding the game in EG.

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

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub game state is EG, if a special condition such as winning a lottery according to the internal winning combination is established, the lottery until the GG is added. By maintaining the number of remaining games of EG over the number of unit games determined by, the number of unit games of EG is increased and the probability that GG is added is substantially increased. Thus, it is possible to make the player have various expectations.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the history of the past unit game results in the PEG is smaller than that in the case where the history of the past unit game results satisfies the predetermined condition in the sub game state other than PEG. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the GG is added to the player more advantageously, so that the player can have more various expectations for the game in the EG.

In addition, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a special role at first and second timings that are different from each other depending on whether the sub game state when the GOD alignment is displayed is GG due to the GOD alignment. Since the display signal is transmitted to the external device 200, it is possible to transmit to the external device 200 whether or not the sub game state when the GOD alignment to be transferred to the GG was displayed was the GG due to the GOD alignment. Thereby, on the external device 200 side, it is possible to determine whether or not the GOD alignment is displayed again in the GG by the GOD alignment.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has the sub game state GO when the GOD alignment is displayed, depending on the reception timing of the reference signal, for example, the special combination display signal with respect to the payout signal.
It is possible to transmit to the external device 200 whether or not it was a GG based on D alignment.

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

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub game state is CZ, when maintaining a combination of decorative symbols of the same type until the next unit game, stop operation in the next unit game Each time is performed, by drawing lots of decorative patterns that are not maintained,
Since the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied in the CZ is further increased, the interest of the player in the game in the CZ can be improved.

Further, when the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment generates reel stop command data indicating that each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, the stop order in the unit game of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is set. It is generated so as to include the information to represent.

As a result, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the gaming machine state information is not generated in the stop order indicated by the reel stop command data indicating that each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, Since it is possible to determine that the progress is illegal, be prepared for an unexpected situation against an illegal trick such as making the gaming machine recognize a plurality of unit games as one unit game or invalidating the unit game. You can

In the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the start lever 16 is operated, the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped, and If the state of the pachi-slot machine 1 does not change in the order in which the winning or non-winning of the winning combination is determined, it is determined that the progress of the game is illegal, so a plurality of unit games are regarded as one unit game. It is possible to prepare for an unforeseen situation against an illegal trick such as causing the user to recognize or invalidating the unit game.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the illegal progress of the game is not detected, the combination of the decorative symbols of the same type as the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is partially. If included, by maintaining this combination of decorative symbols of the same type until the next unit game, the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied in CZ is increased, so that the player's interest in displaying the decorative symbol is increased. In addition to being able to improve, it is possible to suppress fraud associated with the progress of the game.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the number of unit games included in the command data of the same type does not increase by one, it is determined that the progress of the game is illegal, and thus a plurality of unit games are performed. It is possible to prepare for an unforeseen situation against an illegal trick such as causing the gaming machine to recognize the unit game as one unit game or invalidating the unit game.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the number of unit games included in the command data indicating that the winning or non-winning of the winning combination is determined is not increased by one, the progress of the game is illegal. Since it is determined that there is a prize, it is possible to prevent the winning or non-winning of an illegal role.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment determines that the progress of the game is illegal unless the number of unit games included in the command data of all types related to the progress of the game is increased by one. Therefore, it is possible to detect early that the progress of the game is illegal.

In addition, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even if the light emitting body 14a of the MAX bet button 14 is made to emit the second emission color as the effect of the MAX bet button 14, the MAX bet button 14 is operated. In addition to turning off the light-emitting body 14a as a trigger, the light-emitting body 14a of the MAX bet button 14 is prohibited from emitting light in the first emission color until the maximum number of medals used in the unit game is set. It is possible to prevent the player from being confused when the button 14 is made to function also as a production button.

Further, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even when performing the effect with the MAX bet button 14, the insertion sound according to the insertion of each medal and the normal insertion of medals by various lamps other than the MAX bet button 14. You can execute the performance, make a sound and MAX bet button 1
By changing at least one of the effects by various lamps other than 4, the effect of the effects can be enhanced.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the lock is executed in each unit game, the light emitter 14a of the MAX bet button 14 emits the first light emission color until the lock is completed. Since the prohibition is made, it is possible to prevent the player who operates the MAX bet button 14 from mistakenly recognizing that the bet button has stopped functioning.

In addition, the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment deletes the special mode stock information that should not be stored in the CZ information stock according to the sub game state, so an unexpected situation against an illegal trick that induces GG Can be prepared for.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the special mode stock information indicating that the CZ that facilitates the game state to be relatively shifted to the GG is stocked cannot be stored in the CZ information stock. In the game state, if it is stored in the CZ information stock, CZ
Since the special mode stock information is deleted from the information stock, it is possible to prepare for an unexpected situation against an illegal trick that induces GG.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the specific condition is satisfied in the carry-over state of the BB, the sub game state shifts to GG, so if the winning combination of the BB is won, the operation of the BB is performed next. Until the winning combination is won internally, it becomes a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state of BB.

Therefore, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a player who has won the winning combination of the BB wins the winning combination of the BB, the winning combination of the BB ends after the BB ends. Be careful not to let the working combination of BB win even if the winning combination of BB is notified by notifying that it is in a more disadvantageous state than the carry-over state of BB until is decided as the internal winning combination. Therefore, the player can play the game without embarrassing the player.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even if the working combination of BB is not determined as the internal winning combination, when the gaming machine is in the initial state such as at the time of factory shipment, Since the player is not informed that the situation is more disadvantageous than the carry-over state, BB should be played before the player plays
It is possible to save the trouble of keeping the carry-over state, and to make it difficult for the player to know that the pachi-slot machine 1 is in the initial state such as at the time of factory shipment.

[Modification]
The in-CZ process shown in FIGS. 86 and 87 may be modified as described below with reference to FIGS. 119 and 120. In executing the modified CZ processing, the table described below is referred to by the sub CPU 102.

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

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

<CZ1GG lottery table>
The CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117 represents the winning probability of GG for each sub-flag lottery combination. For example, when the sub-flag lottery combination is “CU bell”, 8192/32
GG has a non-winning probability with a probability of 768, and GG has a non-winning probability with a probability of 24576/32768.

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

Note that the CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117 is set so that GG is won by the value of the button counter, but non-winning and winning is distributed to one value of the button counter with a predetermined probability. It may be set to.

<CZ processing (modification)>
