Next, the circuit configuration of the control unit of the slot machine 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The figure shows a circuit block diagram of the control unit.

The control unit of the slot machine 100 is roughly classified into main effects according to a main control unit 300 that controls the progress of the game and a command signal (hereinafter, simply referred to as “command”) transmitted by the main control unit 300. And a second sub-control unit 500 that controls various devices based on the command transmitted from the first sub-control unit 400. Here, with respect to the main control unit 300, when the data capacity becomes large, there is a problem of security deterioration such that it becomes difficult to confirm the program and it becomes a hotbed for unauthorized modification, so the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300. The data capacity of the RAM 308 is limited. The main controller 300 corresponds to an example of a lottery means, a stop control means, a game state setting means, a mode setting means, and a privilege granting means.

<Main control unit>

A ROM 306 that stores arrays and stop positions, a RAM 308 that temporarily stores data, an I/O 310 that controls input/output of various devices, and a counter timer 312 that measures time, the number of times, and the like. And a WDT (Watchdog Timer) 314. Other storage devices may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and the same applies to the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500, which will be described later. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined cycle output from the crystal oscillator 315b as a system clock. Further, when the power is turned on, the CPU 304 transmits the frequency dividing data stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 306 to the counter timer 312, and the counter timer 312 determines the interrupt time based on the received frequency dividing data. Then, the interrupt request is transmitted to the CPU 304 at each interrupt time. The CPU 304 executes monitoring of each sensor or the like and transmission of drive pulses in response to this interrupt request. For example, when the clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 315b is set to 8 MHz, the frequency division value of the counter timer 312 is set to 1/256, and the frequency division data of the ROM 306 is set to 47, the reference time of the interrupt is 256×47÷8 MHz. = 1.504 ms.

The ROM 506 stores a control program and data for controlling the entire second sub-control unit 500, data for image display, and the like.

The CPU 504 transmits the data for frequency division stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 506 to the counter timer 512 via the data bus at a predetermined timing. The counter timer 512 determines an interrupt time based on the received data for frequency division, and transmits an interrupt request to the CPU 404 for each interrupt time. The CPU 504 controls each IC and each circuit based on the timing of this interrupt request.

Further, the second sub control unit 500 is provided with a VDP 516 (video display processor), and the VDP 516 is connected with the ROM 506 and the VRAM 518 via a bus. The VDP 516 reads out the image data and the like stored in the ROM 506 based on the signal from the CPU 504, generates a display image using the work area of the VRAM 518, and displays the image on the effect image display device 157.

<Design arrangement>
Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the symbol array applied to each of the reels 110 to 112 will be described. It should be noted that the drawing is a plan view showing an array of symbols applied to each reel (the left reel 110, the middle reel 111, and the right reel 112).

On each reel 110 to 112, a plurality of types (10 types in this embodiment) of symbols shown on the right side of the drawing are arranged by a predetermined number of frames (20 frames numbered 0 to 19 in this embodiment). Further, the numbers 0 to 19 shown at the left end of the figure are numbers showing the arrangement positions of the symbols on the reels 110 to 112. For example, in the present embodiment, the number 1 frame of the left reel 110 is a “watermelon design”, the number 9 frame of the middle reel 111 is a “bell pattern”, and the right reel 112 is a number 5 frame of “Seven 1”. "Pattern" is arranged.

The slot machine 100 in the present embodiment stops the corresponding reels 110 to 112 within the maximum pull-in range (less than 5 frames in the present embodiment) from the position where the stop operation is performed, in order to improve the enjoyment of the game. It is configured.

<Type of winning combination>
Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations (including working combinations), the symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and the payouts (number of grants) of each winning combination.

The winning combinations of the slot machine 100 include special combinations 1-2, re-game combinations 1-3, and small combinations 1-6. The types of winning combinations are not limited to these winning combinations and can be arbitrarily adopted.

Among the winning combinations in the present embodiment, the special combination 1 is a combination (operating combination) that shifts to a special game state (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as BB1 operating state) in which a predetermined profit is given to the player by winning. is there. However, in the BB1 operating state, only 48 medals are awarded. This special winning combination 1 is a winning combination only when three medals are inserted in the normal game state described later (see the remarks column of FIG. 5A).

The special combination 2 is also a combination (operating combination) that shifts to a special game state (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as BB2 operating state) in which a predetermined profit is given to the player by winning. However, only two medals are awarded in the BB2 operating state. The special winning combination 2 is a winning combination only when two medals are inserted in the normal gaming state (see the remarks column of FIG. 5A).

In addition, the replay roles 1 to 3 are roles that enable replay without inserting new medals. These special combinations 1 and 2 and re-game combinations 1 to 3 may be called "operating combinations". Further, the "winning" in the present embodiment includes a case where a symbol combination of a winning combination without a medal payout (without a medal payout) is displayed on the activated line. 2. Includes prizes for replay roles 1-3. Special roles 1 and 2 are special roles that are carried over to the next game when it is not determined to be a prize, and other roles are not carried over to the next game when it is not determined to be a prize. It is a role.

Special roles 1 and 2 do not pay out medals due to winning the roles themselves. As for the corresponding symbol combination, the special combination 1 is "BAR1-BAR1-Bell", and the special combination 2 is "BAR1-BAR2-Bell". In the following description, the special combination 1 may be referred to as “BB1”, the special combination 2 may be referred to as “BB2”, and the special combination 1 and the special combination 2 may be collectively referred to as “special combination” or “BB”. is there.

When the internal winning of the special winning combinations 1 and 2 is carried out, the internal winning flags corresponding to the internally winning special winning combinations are set to ON (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300). When the flag corresponding to the special combination 1 is set to ON, the main control unit 300 shifts the game state to the special combination 1 internal winning state. When the flag corresponding to the special combination 2 is set to ON, the main control unit 300 shifts the game state to the special combination 2 internal winning state. These flags are maintained in the ON state until the corresponding winning combination is won, and it becomes easy to win these winning combinations in the next and subsequent games. Specifically, even if you do not win those roles in the game that is internally won for special roles 1-2, it will be in the same state as when you are internally won for special roles 1-2 in the next and subsequent games, and the corresponding symbol combination Will be in a state where it is easy to win.

The special winning part 1 internal winning state and the special winning part 2 internal winning state will be described later in detail. However, in the special winning part 2 internal winning state, when other winning combinations other than the special winning part 2 are internally won, other winning combinations The stop control of the reels is executed so that the symbols forming the symbols are preferentially aligned.

The re-play combinations 1 to 3 are prize winning combinations (acting combinations) that can be played in the next game without inserting medals (game media) in the next game, and the medals are not paid out. That is, the game can be executed again with the same number of bets as the previously inserted number. As for the corresponding symbol combination, the re-gaming role 1 is “replay 1 or 2-replay 1 or 2-replay 1 or 2”, and the re-gaming role 2 is “seven 1-seven 1-seven 1”, re-playing Role 3 is "Seven 2-Seven 2-Seven 2". Of the above-mentioned re-game combinations, the re-game combination 1 may be referred to as a “normal replay”, the re-game combination 2 may be referred to as a “seven-one complete replay”, and the re-game combination 3 may be referred to as a “seven-two complete replay”. Further, when the replay combination 2 is won, the state shifts to a pseudo bonus 1 state described later, and when the replay combination 3 is won, the state similarly shifts to a pseudo bonus 2 state described later (see the remarks column of FIG. 5A). The symbol combination of the re-game combination 2 is a pseudo BB1 transition symbol, and the symbol combination of the re-game combination 3 is a pseudo BB2 transition symbol. The pseudo bonus 1 state continues for 20 games, while the pseudo bonus 2 state continues for only 15 games.

The above-mentioned re-play combinations 1 to 3 may be any combination that allows the player to play the next game without inserting medals. Therefore, for example, when the player wins the replay, the insertion of medals may be automatically inserted in the next game (the number of inserted medals is reset in the storage area for the number of inserted medals prepared in the RAM 308), or in the replay. The medal inserted in the winning game may be carried over to the next game and used as it is.

The small winning combinations 1 to 6 are winning combinations in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning. Corresponding symbol combinations, small win 1 is "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon", small win 2 is "BAR2-cherry-replay 1 or 2", and small win 3 is "cherry-ANY-ANY". , Small role 4 is "BAR1-replay 1 or 2-replay 1 or 2", small role 5 is "bell-bell-bell", and small role 6 is "bell-bell-replay 1 or 2" is there. In addition, "ANY" indicates that any symbol may be used. For example, in the case of "cherry-ANY-ANY", the symbol of the left reel 110 may be "cherry", and the middle reel 111 and the right reel. The design of 112 may be any design. Further, the corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG.

Of the above small wins, small win 1 is “watermelon”, small win 2 is “weak cherry”, small win 3 is “strong cherry”, small win 4 is “chance eye”, and small win 5 is “push order bell”. The small winning combination 6 may be referred to as a "single bell". Strong cherries are easier to get benefits than weak cherries, and opportunities are easier to get benefits. In addition, when the internal winning is selected, the push order bell is a part that does not win if the operation order of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is not correct, and is a part that always wins regardless of the operation timing if the operation order is correct. The one-bell is a role to win when the operation order of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is incorrect.

<Types of internal winning roles>
Next, the types of internal winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a diagram showing types of internal winning combinations and a lottery table for internal winning combinations in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state.

FIG. 5B shows 11 types of condition devices (condition device numbers 1 to 11) that combine the winning combinations described in FIG. 5A. The winning combination in the game is one of the winning combinations corresponding to this condition device. These condition devices are determined by lottery at the time of game start operation. At this time, the winning combination corresponding to the condition device is called an internal winning combination. That is, the internal winning combination is determined by the lottery when the game is started. In the following description of this operation, it may be referred to as having internally won a winning combination.

As will be described later, the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a gaming table in which a game period in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state (RT2) tends to be the longest. FIG. 5B shows a lottery table for each internal winning combination in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state (RT2).

Condition device number 1 is a condition device configured by a re-game combination. As described above, in the present embodiment, the re-gaming combination is from the re-gaming combination 1 to the re-gaming combination 3, and if the pseudo BB1 schedule flag described later is set to ON, the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 2 can be stopped. If the pseudo BB2 schedule flag described later is set to ON, the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 3 can be stopped. If none of these pseudo BB schedule flags are set to ON, the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 1 can be stopped.

The condition device numbers 2 to 11 are internal winning combinations made up of small winning combinations. Of these, the condition device numbers 6 to 11 internally win the small winning combination 5 and the small winning combination 6, and six types A to F are prepared. The small winning combination 5 is a push order bell, and the combination of the operation order (push order) of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is “left, right, middle”, “left, middle, right”, “right, left, middle”. , "Right, middle, left", "middle, left, right", "middle, right, left". The six types A to F correspond to these six patterns, and the condition devices of condition device numbers 6 to 11 have different correct pressing orders. If the operation order of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is correct, the symbol combination of the small winning combination 5 is stopped. On the other hand, when the operation order of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is incorrect, the symbol combination of the small winning combination 6 is stopped.

In any of the condition devices of condition device numbers 6 to 11, unless the operation order of the first stop and the second stop of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is correct, it means that the pressing order determined by the condition device is correct. Eleven medals are paid out (see the remarks column in FIG. 5B). On the other hand, if you made a mistake in the first stop of the stop buttons 137 to 139 but made a mistake in the second stop, it would be an incorrect answer, the symbol combination of the small role 6 would stop, and only one medal would be paid out. No (see remarks column in FIG. 5B). When the stop buttons 137 to 139 are mistaken for the first stop, the symbols stopped and displayed at the third stop determine whether one medal is paid out or no medal is paid out. In other words, as a result of making a mistake from the first stop, if one bell (bell 6) "Bell-Bell-Replay 1 or 2" is pulled in, replay 1 or 2 is stopped at the third stop. When the stop button is pushed in the retracted position, one coin is won and one medal is paid out, but when the stop button is pushed in the position where Replay 1 or 2 cannot be retracted It becomes a combination of symbols and no medals are paid out.

In the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, set values having different degrees of advantage for the player are set. Settings 1 to 6 are prepared as setting values. The higher the set value, the higher the player's advantage.

In the internal winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 5B, a value obtained by dividing the displayed numerical value by 65536 is the internal winning probability. The internal winning probability is set for each set value, but in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state (RT2), there is no great difference between the setting values, and only the internal winning probability of the small winning combination 3 of the condition device 4 in the setting 6 is obtained. Is 1 higher. In other game states (for example, a normal state and a special game state), the internal winning probability may tend to increase the advantage of the player as the set value increases.

Further, in the present embodiment, although the internal win probabilities of the condition devices of the condition device numbers 6 to 11 are equal, the internal win probabilities may be biased.

If you do not win the winning combination of each condition device, you will lose, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination will not be displayed. The fact that the symbol combination related to the winning on the winning line is not stopped may be referred to as "missing". In addition, there is a case where not winning any part of the condition devices is "missed".

As described above, in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state, when the internal winning has been achieved for a winning combination other than the special winning combination 2, the reel stop control is performed so that the symbols forming the other winning combinations are preferentially arranged. Is executed. Therefore, in order to shift from the special winning combination 2 internal winning state to the BB2 operating state, which is the special gaming status, it is necessary to insert two medals, internally lose the winning, and then win the special winning combination 2.

<Type of game state>
Next, the types of gaming states and the transition of gaming states of the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 6A is a game state transition diagram of the slot machine 100 shown in FIG.

In the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 6A, as the game state, the normal game state, the special winning part 1 internal winning gaming state, the special winning part 2 internal winning gaming state, BB1 operating gaming state , And BB2 are in operation so that the player can switch between five game states having different advantages such as a game state, and the transition of these states changes the advantage to improve the interest of the game. In this specification, the gaming state during the special winning part 1 internal winning is simply referred to as the special winning part 1 internal winning state, the gaming state during the special winning part 2 internal winning is simply referred to as the special winning part 2 internal winning state, and the BB1 is operating. The gaming state is simply referred to as the BB1 operating state, and the BB2 operating gaming state is simply referred to as the BB2 operating state. Further, in the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, five states of RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, and RT4 are provided in addition to the above-mentioned gaming state, as states in which the type and probability of the re-winning combination to be internally won are different. However, the gaming state and the RT have a one-to-one relationship. That is, RT0 in the normal game state, RT1 in the special winning combination 1 internal winning state, RT2 in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state, RT3 in the BB1 operating state, and RT4 in the BB2 operating state. The game state is controlled by the main controller 300. It should be noted that RT1 and RT2 are easier to internally win the re-game combination than RT0. In addition, RT1 is easier to internally win the re-game combination than RT3, and RT2 is easier to internally win the re-game combination than RT4. Further, the internal winning probabilities of the re-playing combination of RT1 and RT2 may be the same or different, and the internal winning probabilities of the re-playing combination of RT3 and RT4 may be the same or different. May be.

The normal gaming state has the lowest internal winning probability of the re-gaming combination, and is the most disadvantageous state for the player. Note that this is also the initial state in this embodiment.

The special winning combination internal winning state is a state in which the internal winning flag corresponding to the special winning combination is set to ON. In this gaming state, it is easy to shift to the special gaming state, which is more advantageous than the normal gaming state. However, as described above, in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state (RT2), in the case where the winning combination other than the special winning combination 2 is internally won, the symbols constituting the other winning combinations are preferentially arranged. Since the reel stop control is executed, it is impossible to shift to the special game state.

The special game state is an advantageous game state in which it is easier to win a small winning combination than in the normal game state and the special winning combination internal winning state, and it is easy to obtain a medal. However, as described above, only 48 medals are awarded in the BB1 operating state, and only two medals are awarded in the BB2 operating state.

In FIG. 6A, the game state described above is shown, and the symbols (A) to (F) attached to the arrows are the transition conditions between the game states. When each transition condition is satisfied, the game state transitions in the arrow direction. The transition from the normal game state (RT0) shown by the arrow (A) to the special winning combination 1 internal winning state (RT1) is performed by internally winning the special winning combination 1, and the normal playing state shown by the arrow (D) is shown. The transition from (RT0) to the special winning combination 2 internal winning state (RT2) is performed by internally winning the special winning combination 2. In the normal game state (RT0), the internal winning probability of the special winning combination 2 is higher than the internal winning probability of the special winning combination 1, and the internal winning probability of the special winning combination 2 is a considerably high probability. 100 is a gaming table in which the period of playing a game in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state (RT2) tends to be the longest. The transition from the special winning part 1 internal winning state (RT1) shown by the arrow (B) to the BB1 operating state (RT3) is performed by winning the special winning part 1. As described above, in order to win the special part 1, it is necessary to carry out the three-sheet multiplication. The transition from the special winning combination 2 internal winning state (RT2) shown by the arrow (E) to the BB2 operating state (RT4) is performed by winning the special winning combination 2. As described above, in order to win the special role 2, it is necessary to multiply by two, internally lose the win, and then win the special role 2. The transition from the BB1 operating state (RT3) shown by the arrow (C) to the normal game state (RT0) is performed by paying out 48 medals as a prescribed number. The transition from the BB2 operating state (RT4) to the normal game state (RT0), which is indicated by the arrow (F), is performed by paying out two medals as the specified number.

<Type of production state>
Next, the types of effect states and the transition of effect states of the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. As described above, the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a gaming table in which the game period in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state is likely to be the longest, and the transition of the effect state in this special winning combination 2 internal winning state will be described. The transition of the effect state in other game states is the same as the transition described here. FIG. 6B is a transition diagram of the effect state in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state of the slot machine 100 shown in FIG.

In the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 6B, non-AT state, confrontation state, confrontation state, pseudo BB state, AT (assist time) state, and CZ (chance zone) ) A total of six effect states can be switched. FIG. 6B shows these effect states, and the symbols (a) to (i) attached to the arrows are the transition conditions between the effect states. When each transition condition is satisfied, the effect state transitions in the arrow direction.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display screen displayed on the effect image display device 157 in each effect state.

The non-AT state is a normal production state and also an initial state in the production state. On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7A, an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and the old man are in the palace in the castle is displayed. Further, a character display area 1571 is provided on the left side of the display screen, and an effect information display area 1572 is provided below the character display area 1571. In FIG. 7A, one face image tp of a lord's character is displayed in the character display area 1571. The lord's character is a default character that is always displayed while the character display area 1571 is displayed. Further, in the effect information display area 1572, a point number display PN and a lap number display LN are displayed. In FIG. 7A, the number-of-points display PN is an initial value of 000 points, and the number of laps display LN is also an initial value of 0th lap. The point number display PN representing the initial value may be "---" instead of "000", or may not be displayed. Further, the number-of-laps display LN representing the initial value may be "-" instead of "0" or may be non-display. The display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7A is a display screen before increasing points, and is a display screen after setting change and a display screen after power interruption/recovery, which will be described in detail later. Yes, it is also a display screen after the end of the CZ state when the transition to the pseudo BB state or the AT state is not made. The point number display PN representing the initial value is displayed on the display screen after the setting is changed, the display screen after the power failure and power recovery, or the display screen after the CZ state is ended when the pseudo BB state or the AT state is not entered. They may be the same or different from each other. For example, the display screen after the setting change and the display screen after the power interruption/recovery are not changed to “----”, the pseudo BB state or the AT state. In this case, the display screen after the end of the CZ state may be “000”.

An animation corresponding to the non-AT state is also displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7A, the point number display PN is 001 points, and the number of laps display LN is also the first lap. is there. The display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7A' is a display screen after the points are increased.

The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a first P counter that counts effects. The “effect” here may be a privilege, more specifically, an effect point. The count value of the first P counter is displayed on the point number display PN. However, a value different from the count value of the first P counter may be displayed on the point number display PN. Although the point number display PN is a numerical value display, it is a bar display in which the bar expands and contracts, a display in which the color changes, or a display in which the number of displays such as symbols changes according to the count value of the first P counter. May be. Alternatively, the point number display PN may be a display that represents the count value in size, a display that represents the count value in shape, or a display that represents the count value in shades. In addition to the point number display PN, a display indicating the number of the point number display PN may be displayed, or an icon such as a character may be moved in accordance with the increase of the points, and a target specific target may be displayed. It is also possible to display an icon such as a character at a point and cause an event or effect to occur when the icon such as a character moves and arrives as the number of points increases, and a character corresponding to a plurality of specific target points. You may display icons, such as.

The transition from the non-AT state to the pre-confrontation state indicated by the arrow (a) is performed when the count value of the first P counter reaches the true confrontation point number, and as a predetermined number of games (ceiling game number). In some cases, it is performed by digesting 499 games, and in some cases, it is performed by winning an AT lottery corresponding to a winning combination. The number of true confrontation points is a value set by lottery together with the number of false confrontation points described later. If the number of true confrontation points is smaller than the number of false confrontation points, the count value of the first P counter is false confrontation. The true confrontation points will be reached before the points are reached. It should be noted that when the number of true confrontation points is reached, it is not known whether the pseudo BB state or the AT state can be entered, but when the AT lottery is won, the eventually the AT state is always entered. Further, when the number of ceiling games is exhausted, the state is always shifted to the pseudo BB1 state.

On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7B, an animation in which the sword is held by the lord is displayed corresponding to the pre-confrontation state. Further, in the upper right corner of the display screen, a character display of "pre-confrontation indication production" indicating that the production is in the pre-confrontation state. In the confrontation state, both the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 below the character display area 1571 are hidden. Therefore, the face image of the lord's character, which is the default character, the point number display PN, and the number of laps display LN are all hidden.

The transition from the pre-confrontation state to the confrontation state, which is indicated by the arrow (b), is performed by consuming a predetermined number of games by lottery between 2 games and 32 games.

The transition from the non-AT state to the confrontation state, which is indicated by the arrow (f), is performed when the count value of the first P counter reaches the number of false confrontation points. If the number of false confrontation points is smaller than the number of true confrontation points, the count value of the first P counter reaches the number of false confrontation points before reaching the number of true confrontation points.

On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7C and FIG. 7C', the confrontation scene of the confrontation animation corresponding to the confrontation state in which the lord and the enemy swordsman confront each other is displayed. There is. Further, in the upper right of the display screen, a character display of "confrontation effect" indicating that it is an effect in a confrontation state is displayed. In the confrontation state, the count value of the first P counter reaches the true confrontation point number, and the confrontation state is started via the confrontation state, and the count value of the first P counter reaches the false confrontation point number, There is a false confrontation state that is started without going through the confrontation state. FIG. 7C is a start screen of the effect in the true confrontation state (true confrontation effect). In this start screen, the character display area 1571 and the character display area 1571 are displayed as in the display screen of the pre-confrontation effect shown in FIG. The effect information display area 1572 below it is hidden. On the other hand, FIG. 7C' is a start screen of the effect in the false confrontation state (false confrontation effect). In this start screen, the character display area 1571 is hidden but the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Here, it is displayed that the point number display PN is 056 points and the number of laps display LN is the first lap. The player can distinguish between a true confrontation effect and a false confrontation effect depending on whether or not the pre-confrontation effect is displayed, but if the player overlooks whether or not the pre-confrontation effect is displayed, the confrontation is performed. It is not possible to distinguish between a true confrontation production and a false confrontation production only by the animation in the production. However, both can be distinguished by the presence or absence of the display of the effect information display area 1572. In the start screen in the true confrontation effect, the effect information display area 1572 is hidden, so that the confrontation scene of the confrontation animation is focused and the confrontation scene is easily visible. The character display area 1571 may also be displayed on the start screen of the false confrontation effect. Further, for the purpose of only distinguishing between the true confrontation effect and the false confrontation effect, it suffices to make the type of animation different between the true confrontation effect and the false confrontation effect. In the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572, The presence or absence of the display may be unified.

In the pre-confrontation state or the confrontation state, the number of ceiling games, the number of true confrontation points, or the number of false confrontation points may be reached, which will be described in detail later. When is defeated, the confrontation starts again.

The transition from the confrontation state to the pseudo BB state, which is indicated by the arrow (c), is performed after the number of games determined in advance by the lottery between the two games and the four games is exhausted, and then the re-gaming combination shown in FIG. The symbol combination of 2 or the symbol combination of the re-game combination 3 is stopped and displayed.

Further, the transition from the confrontation state to the AT state, which is indicated by the arrow (d), is predetermined by a lottery between 2 games and 4 games when the AT direct hit lottery is won or when the AT lottery is already won. It is performed when the number of games played is exhausted. In addition, the state already won in the AT lottery means a state in which the AT lottery according to the winning combination has been won, which is a trigger for shifting from the non-AT state to the confrontation state. In the AT state, an operation condition notification effect that suggests the operation sequence of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is executed so that the player can obtain an advantageous result in accordance with the internally won combination. Specifically, in the case of internally winning an AT combination (conditional device numbers 6 to 11 in FIG. 5B), the operation sequence of each correct answer is notified. In addition, when the AT state is set, the number of games (the number of AT games (number of times of navigation)) in which the operation condition notification effect is performed may be added by lottery.

The effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7(d) and the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7(d') are also effect image display devices 157 in the confrontation state, and the effect image display device shown in FIG. 7(d). On the display screen of 157, a scene in which the lord has won is displayed as a winning and losing scene following the confrontation scene. The scene where this lord wins may be displayed as the ending of the true confrontation effect (ending scene of the confrontation animation). Also, when the AT direct hit lottery is won during the false confrontation production, a scene in which the lord has won may be displayed as a winning and losing scene following the confrontation scene shown in FIG. 7(c'). In the scene where the lord has won, the character display area 1571 is not displayed, but the effect information display area 1572 is displayed, and the point number display PN is 056 points and the number of laps display LN is the first lap. Is displayed. When transitioning from the confrontation state to the pseudo BB state or the AT state, the scene where the lord has won is displayed in the effect information display area 1572, and the pseudo BB effect or the AT effect is started before the next game is started. To be done.

On the other hand, on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7(d'), a scene in which the lord is defeated is displayed as a winning and losing scene following the confrontation scene. The scene where this lord is defeated may be displayed as the ending of the true confrontation effect or may be displayed as the ending of the false confrontation effect. In the scene where the lord is defeated, neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed.

The transition from the confrontation state to the non-AT state, which is indicated by the arrow (e), is performed after the scene where the lord is defeated is displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157. In other words, when the true confrontation point number is reached and the non-AT state transitions to the true confrontation state via the pre-confrontation state, the pseudo BB lottery to be described later is lost, and the predetermined number is preset by a lottery between 2 games and 4 games. If the AT direct hit lottery is not won while the number of games played is exhausted, the scene in which the Lord is defeated is displayed and the state shifts to the non-AT state.

The transition from the non-AT state to the AT state, which is indicated by another arrow (d), is performed when the AT direct hit lottery is won.

On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7(e), an animation corresponding to the pseudo BB state in which the hall is raised is displayed. Further, the number of medals acquired in the pseudo BB state is displayed at the lower right of the display screen. However, in the pseudo BB state, neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Even in the pseudo BB state, the operation condition notification effect is executed as in the AT state. However, unlike the AT state, the AT game number (navigation number) is not added. On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7E, the operation sequence “2 3 1” is notified, the right stop button 139 makes a first stop, and the left stop button 137 makes a second stop. The correct operation sequence is to perform the third stop with the middle stop button 138.

On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7(f), an animation corresponding to the AT state in which the lord is performing cherry blossom viewing with the castle in the background is displayed. In the lower right of the display screen, the cumulative number of medals acquired since the AT state was started is displayed, and in the lower left, the total number of AT games that have been consumed (total 5G (game)) and the remaining AT games. The number (5G remaining) is displayed. However, even in the AT state, neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Further, on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7F, the operation condition notification effect is being executed, the operation order of “1 3 2” is displayed, and the left stop button 137 causes the first stop. The correct operation sequence is to perform the second stop with the right stop button 139 and the third stop with the middle stop button 138.

The transition from the pseudo BB state to the CZ state shown by the arrow (g) is performed by consuming 20 games in the pseudo bonus 1 state and by consuming 15 games in the pseudo bonus 2 state. That is, the pseudo bonus 1 state is limited to 20 games, and the pseudo bonus 2 state is limited to 15 games. The pseudo bonus 1 state is more advantageous to the player than the pseudo bonus 2 state because the number of games is larger. The transition from the AT state to the CZ state, which is indicated by the arrow (h), is performed by exhausting all the assigned AT game numbers (navigation times). As described above, when the AT state is set, the number of AT games (navigation times) may be increased, which may be longer than 20 games in the pseudo bonus 1 state. Therefore, the AT state is pseudo. In some cases, it can be said that the player is more advantageous than the bonus 1 state.

Note that the example in which the number of exhausted games is used as a condition for the transition from the pseudo BB state to the CZ state has been described, but the number of medals to be paid out may be used as a condition. For example, the pseudo bonus 1 state may be maintained until 200 medals are paid out, and the pseudo bonus 1 state may be maintained until 150 medals are paid out. Furthermore, when one of the exhausted game number and the medal payout number exceeds the condition value, the state may shift to the CZ state.

On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7(g), the animation of the lord running in the wilderness corresponding to the CZ state is displayed. Further, at the lower right of the display screen, the number of games remaining until the transition to the non-AT state is displayed, but neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed.

The transition from the CZ state to the non-AT state shown by the arrow (i) is performed by digesting 32 games in the CZ state. That is, the CZ state is limited to 32 games. During the 32 games, when the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 2 shown in FIG. 5A or the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 3 is stopped and displayed, as shown by the upward arrow (c), from the CZ state Return to the pseudo BB state. If the AT lottery corresponding to the number of games in the CZ state is won during the 32 games in which the CZ state is maintained, the CZ state is returned to the AT state as indicated by the upward arrow (d).

In the transition diagram of the effect state shown in FIG. 6B, the transition from the non-AT state to the pseudo BB state is not set, but the pseudo BB direct hit lottery is executed every game, and the pseudo BB direct hit lottery is won. However, when the pseudo BB symbol (the symbol of the re-game combination 2 or the re-game combination 3) is stopped and displayed, the transition from the non-AT state to the pseudo BB state may be performed. Further, the pseudo BB direct hitting lottery may be executed only when the internal combination is won for the specific combination (for example, the chance).

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a transition pattern of the effect state in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state.

In the pattern shown in FIG. 8A, first, the non-AT state shifts to the confrontation state. The confrontation state is a false confrontation state because it does not go through the confrontation state. In this confrontation state, the scene in which the lord's defeat shown in FIG. 7(d') is displayed, and the state returns to the non-AT state.

In the pattern shown in FIG. 8B, the non-AT state shifts to the confrontation state via the confrontation precursory state. The confrontation state is a true confrontation state because it passes through the confrontation state. However, even in this confrontation state, the scene in which the lord's defeat shown in FIG. 7D' is displayed, and the state returns to the non-AT state.

Even in the pattern shown in FIG. 8C, the non-AT state transits to the confrontation state (true confrontation state) via the confrontation sign state. During this confrontation state, the pseudo BB symbol (the symbol of the re-gaming role 2 or the re-gaming role 3) is stopped and displayed, and the transition to the pseudo BB state is made through the display of the scene where the lord has won as shown in FIG. 7(d). To do. Eventually, the pseudo BB state shifts to the CZ state, and returns to the non-AT state without returning to the pseudo BB state or the AT state.

Even in the pattern shown in FIG. 8D, when the non-AT state transitions to the confrontation state (true confrontation state) via the confrontation confrontation state and the predetermined number of games from 2 games to 4 games is exhausted, FIG. The scene where the lord wins is displayed as shown in (d), and the state further shifts to the AT state. Eventually, the AT state shifts to the CZ state and returns to the non-AT state without returning to the AT state or the pseudo BB state.

In the pattern shown in FIG. 8E, the non-AT state transitions to the confrontation state (false confrontation state) without passing through the confrontation sign state, but by winning the AT direct hit lottery during this confrontation state, The scene in which the lord's victory is shown in 7(d) is displayed, and the state further shifts to the AT state. Eventually, the AT state shifts to the CZ state and returns to the non-AT state without returning to the AT state or the pseudo BB state.

In the pattern shown in FIG. 8F, the non-AT state transitions to the confrontation state (true confrontation state) via the confrontation sign state. In this confrontation state, the scene in which the lord wins as shown in FIG. 7D is displayed, and the state shifts to the pseudo BB state. Eventually, the pseudo BB state shifts to the CZ state, and the AT state is further shifted to by winning the AT lottery according to the number of games in the CZ state. Eventually, the AT game number (navigation number) is exhausted, and the AT state is changed to the CZ state again. In the second CZ state, the pseudo BB symbol (the symbol of the re-game combination 2 or the re-game combination 3) is stopped and displayed, and the state shifts to the pseudo BB state again. Eventually, the pseudo BB state shifts to the third CZ state, and in the third CZ state, the AT lottery according to the number of games in the CZ state is won again, and the AT state is shifted again. Eventually, the number of AT games (number of times of navigation) is exhausted, and the AT state is changed to the fourth CZ state. In the fourth CZ state, the state returns to the non-AT state without returning to the AT state or shifting to the pseudo BB state. The slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 performs the pseudo BB state and the AT state a plurality of times as in the pattern shown in FIG. 8F, rather than acquiring medals in the BB1 operating state or the BB2 operating state. , Easy to get a lot of medals.

<Outline of processing>
Hereinafter, the processes of the main controller 300, the first sub controller 400, and the second sub controller 500 will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Main processing of main controller>
First, the main control unit main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that this figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main processing of the main control unit.

As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the activation signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 338 that outputs the activation signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302, to which this activation signal is input, performs a reset start by a reset interrupt and executes the main control unit main processing shown in FIG. 9 in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM 306 in advance.

When the power is turned on, first, a setting change process is performed in step S10. Details of this setting change processing will be described later with reference to FIG. Then, in step S11, various initial setting processes are performed. In this initialization processing, the stack initial value is set to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, the setting of interrupt prohibition, the initialization of the I/O 310, the initialization of various variables stored in the RAM 308, the operation permission to the WDT 314, Set initial values.

In step S12, a game start process is executed. In this process, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted (care or operation of the bet buttons 130 to 132), and when a medal has been inserted, preparation is made to send an insertion command indicating this. When a player wins a replay in the previous game, the process of inserting the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is performed, so that the player does not need to insert medals. Also, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated while a prescribed number (2 or 3) of medals have been used. If the start lever 135 is operated, the number of inserted medals and the effective winning line are determined. Confirm and start the game.

In step S13, various lottery processes including an internal winning combination lottery process and the like are executed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S14, reel stop data corresponding to the first stop operation is prepared based on the result of the internal winning combination lottery. The reel stop data is stored in the ROM 306 of the main controller 300.

In step S15, the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started on condition that the game interval timer (subtracted in the timer updating process described later) is 0, and the game interval timer is set to an initial value. At the start of rotation of the reels 110 to 112, preparations are made for transmitting a reel rotation start command to the first sub-control unit 400. After that, the reels 110 to 112 reach a predetermined rotation speed, the optical sensor provided on each reel is detected, and when the symbol position of each reel is grasped, the stop operation for the stop buttons 137 to 139 is validated. By the game interval counter, the minimum time required for one game (4.1 s in the present embodiment) is secured, and gambling is suppressed.

In step S16, reel stop control processing is executed. In this process, when any of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is pressed after the stop operation is validated, the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped. Specifically, every time a stop operation is performed, the stop table of the reel stop data is referred to, and the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the stop operation are stopped according to the number of pull-in frames set in the stop table. Further, for the first stop operation, the reel stop data corresponding to the second stop operation is prepared, and for the second stop operation, the reel stop data corresponding to the third stop operation is prepared. It should be noted that, for each stop operation, preparation is made to transmit a corresponding command (first to third pressing command) to the first sub-control unit 400, and each time the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a corresponding command (first (1 to 3 stop command) is prepared for transmission to the first sub-control unit 400. When all reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the process proceeds to step S17.

In step S17, winning determination processing is performed. Here, when a symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. For example, if "cherry-ANY-ANY" is on the activated pay line, it is determined that the small winning combination 3 has been won. After determining the winning combination, preparation for transmitting the winning command to the first sub-control unit 400 is performed.

In step S18, if some winning combination with a payout has been won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is given (paid), and the number of the given medals is displayed using the payout number display 127.

In step S19, the state update process is executed. Details of this state update processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

This completes one game. After that, the game proceeds by returning to step S12 and repeating the above-described processing.

<Main controller 300 timer interrupt process>
Next, the main controller timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main controller 300 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main controller timer interrupt process.

The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (once in this embodiment about once every 2 ms), and the main control unit timer interrupt is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. The process starts at a predetermined cycle.

In step S201, timer interrupt start processing is performed. In the timer interrupt start process, the value of each register of the CPU 304 is temporarily saved in the stack area.

In step S203, the WDT 314 is periodically (mainly) set so that the count value of the WDT 314 exceeds the initial setting value (32.8 ms in this embodiment) and a WDT interrupt does not occur (not to detect abnormal processing). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every about 2 ms, which is the period of the main controller timer interrupt.

In step S205, an input port state update process is performed. In this input port status update processing, the detection signals of the sensor circuits 320 of the various sensors 318 are input via the input port of the I/O 310 to monitor the presence/absence of the detection signals, and the RAM 308 is divided for each of the various sensors 318. It is stored in the provided signal state storage area. The state of the optical sensor is confirmed by this processing.

In step S207, various game processes are executed, and processes according to the interrupt status are executed.

In step S209, timer update processing is performed. For example, a process of updating various timers for each time unit, such as subtracting the game interval timer, is executed.

In step S211, a command setting transmission process is performed, and various commands prepared for transmission in the main process of the main control unit 300, the timer interrupt process, etc. are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The output schedule information transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits in this embodiment, bit 15 is strobe information (when ON, indicates that data is set), bit 11 -14 are command types (in the present embodiment, a basic command, a throw command, a start lever acceptance command, an internal winning command, a production command associated with the production lottery processing, a reel rotation start command associated with the start of rotation of the reels 110 to 112, and a stop command). First to third pressing commands for accepting the operation of the buttons 137 to 139, first to third stop commands for stopping the reels 110 to 112, a prize command, a payout number command and a payout end command for the medal payout process, State update command), and bits 0 to 10 are composed of command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type).

In the first sub-control unit 400, the command type included in the received output schedule information makes it possible to determine the effect control according to the change in the game control in the main control unit 300, and is included in the output schedule information. The effect control content can be determined based on the information of the command data.

In step S213, external signal setting processing is performed. In this external signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 652 separate from the slot machine 100 via the information output circuit 334.

In step S215, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area in step S205 are read to monitor the presence or absence of errors relating to a medal insertion abnormality, a medal ejection abnormality, etc., and when an error is detected, (Omitted) Error processing is executed. Further, the medal selector 170 (medal blocker in which a solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 339, and various 7-segment (SEG) indicators are set according to the current game state.

In step S217, it is monitored whether the low voltage signal is on. Then, when the low voltage signal is received (when power cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step S221. When the low voltage signal is not received (power cutoff is not detected), step S219 is performed. move on.

In step S219, timer interrupt end processing is performed. In this timer interrupt end processing, processing such as setting the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 in each original register is performed. After that, the process returns to the main processing of the main control unit shown in FIG.

On the other hand, in step S221, information (main control information and game information) that needs to be saved, such as specific variables and stack pointers for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery, is saved in a predetermined area of RAM 308, A checksum value for a predetermined area including at least the used area of the RAM 308 is derived and stored in the RAM 308, and a power flag indicating that the power interruption process has been performed is set to ON. The game information includes count values of various counters (for example, first P counter) provided in the RAM 308 of the main controller 300.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of setting change processing in the main control unit main processing.

In the setting change process (step S10), step S101 for determining whether or not the setting change condition is satisfied is executed. In the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, when the front door 102 is opened, a setting change switch (not shown) can be operated. The setting change switch is a switch for changing the setting relating to the degree of advantage of the player such as the winning combination determination probability in six stages of setting 1 to setting 6. The setting change condition mentioned here is a condition that includes at least the fact that the setting change switch has been operated and the setting value that has been set so far has been changed to a new setting value. It may include that a specific operation such as the operation has been performed. If the setting change condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S102, and if the setting change condition is not satisfied, the setting change process ends.

As described above, the setting change process shown in FIG. 11 is a process that is first executed when the power is turned on, and in step S102, the main part saved in the predetermined area of the RAM 308 at the time of power interruption before the power is turned on. Initialize control information. Specifically, the stack pointer and the interrupt are initialized. Next, the game information saved in the predetermined area of the RAM 308 when the power is cut off is partially restored (step S103). Specifically, the information regarding the special game state and the information regarding RT are returned as they are (remaining in the state at the time of power interruption without clearing or changing each information), and the small/re-gaming role. The information about and the information about the internally won combination are initialized and cleared (the flag is turned off). Also, the count value of the first P counter included in the game information is cleared, and the count value becomes zero. In addition to clearing the count value of the first P counter to 0, a specific value different from 0 may be set, or a value selected by lottery from two or more kinds of values or selected in a predetermined order. It may be set to another value.

Further, in the setting change process, the count value of the first P counter is cleared and the count value becomes 0. However, when the power is restored after the power is cut off and the setting change process is not performed (immediately after power failure, power is restored. May be the case, or may be cut off at night and restored power the next morning), the count value of the first P counter is not cleared, the count value included in the game information Return as it is.

After the partial return of the game information, the setting value set when the setting is changed is stored in the setting value information storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 as the setting value after the setting change (step S104). Next, a setting change command indicating that the setting has been changed is transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 (step S105), and the information (main control information and game information) after the setting change is also given to the first sub control unit 400. (Step S106), the setting change process ends.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of various lottery processes in the main control unit main process.

First, in step S131 that is first executed, an internal winning combination lottery is executed. In this processing, the lottery table for the internal winning combination stored in the ROM 306 is read according to the current game state and RT, and the internal lottery (the lottery for the combination) is performed using this and the random number value obtained from the random number generation circuit 316. And determine the internal winning combination. For example, in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state and the state of RT2, the lottery table of the internal winning combination shown in FIG. 5B is read. As a result of the internal lottery, if any of the combinations (including the operating combination) is internally won, the flag of the combination is turned on.

In step S132, character addition/deletion processing is executed. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S133, point setting processing is executed. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S134, a point increase erasing process is executed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S135, AT lottery processing is executed. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S136, preparation for transmission of the internal winning command is executed, and the various lottery processes are ended. The internal winning command includes information capable of specifying the result of the internal winning combination, the current performance state, the number of AT games, the AT lottery, and the AT additional lottery. Of the above information, the information regarding the number of AT games may not be included in the internal winning command in the non-AT state, but may be included in the internal winning command only in the AT state. Further, in the AT state or the pseudo BB state, the internal winning command of the internal winning combination including the small winning combination 5 (conditional devices 6 to 11 shown in FIG. 5B) includes the operation order of the stop buttons 137 to 139 (pushing order). ) Also includes operation instruction information indicating the correct operation order.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of character addition/deletion processing in various lottery processing.

The character addition/deletion process (step S132) is a process relating to the character displayed in the character display area 1571 shown in FIG. As the characters, in addition to the default character Tonosama, a grandpa character, a princess character, and a shinobi character are prepared.

In addition, in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, a stay counter and an additional flag are prepared for each character other than the default character, the lord.

In the character addition/deletion process (step S132), first, it is determined whether or not the value of the grandpa stay counter is greater than 0 (step S132a). If the value is large, the value of the grandpa stay counter is decremented by 1 (step S132b), and the step Go to S132g. On the other hand, if the value of the grandparent counter is 0 or less, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is weak cherry (small win 2) (step S132c), and if it is weak cherry, the grandpa character is additionally displayed. The lottery process (step S132d) is executed. The lottery process here has a result of adding a grandfather character with a probability of 30%. Note that another role may be used instead of the weak cherry (small role 2). In the grandpa stay counter setting process in step S132d subsequent to step S132d, when adding a grandpa character, the grandpa addition flag is set to ON, and the grandpa stay counter is set to a value of 1 or 2 determined by lottery. However, when the grandfather character is not added, the grandpa addition flag remains set to OFF, and the process proceeds to step S132g. When the internal winning combination is other than the weak cherry (small winning combination 2), the old erase lottery process (step S132f) is executed, and the process proceeds to step S132g. The grandfather elimination lottery process results in the grandfather character being erased with a probability of 50%. Once displayed, the grandfather character is not erased until it is won in the grandfather elimination lottery process. However, like the display screens of FIG. 7B to FIG. 7G, FIG. 7C, and FIG. 7D, the character display area 1571 itself cannot be hidden because it is not displayed. is there. If the winning of the grandfather's character is won, the grandpa addition flag is set to off.

In step S132g, it is determined whether or not the value of the princess stay counter is greater than 0, and if it is larger, the value of the princess stay counter is decremented by 1 (step S132h), and the process proceeds to step S132m. On the other hand, if the value of the princess stay counter is 0 or less, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is weak cherry (small win 2) (step S132i), and if it is weak cherry, the princess character is additionally displayed. The lottery process (step S132j) is executed. The lottery process here also results in adding the princess character with a probability of 30%. Note that another role may be used instead of the weak cherry (small role 2). The winning probability of the lottery for adding the princess character may be lower or higher than the winning probability of the lottery for adding the old character. In the princess stay counter setting process in step S132k subsequent to step S132j, when adding a princess character, the princess addition flag is set to ON, and the princess stay counter is set to a value of 1 or 2 determined by lottery. If the princess character is not added, the princess addition flag remains set to OFF, and the process proceeds to step S132m. The value set in the princess stay counter may be easily smaller or larger than the value set in the old stay counter in step S132e. If the internal winning combination is other than weak cherry (small combination 2), the princess elimination lottery process (step S132l) is executed, and the process proceeds to step S132m. Even in the princess deletion lottery process, there is a 50% probability that the princess character will be deleted. The winning probability of the lottery for deleting the princess character may be lower or higher than the winning probability of the lottery for deleting the old character. Once the princess character is displayed once, it is not deleted until the erasing lottery process wins the deletion. However, like the display screens of FIG. 7B to FIG. 7G, FIG. 7C, and FIG. 7D, the character display area 1571 itself cannot be hidden because it is not displayed. is there. When the princess character is erased, the princess addition flag is set to off.

In step S132m, it is determined whether or not the value of the secret stay counter is greater than 0, and if it is larger, the value of the secret stay counter is decremented by 1 (step S132n), and the process proceeds to step S132s. On the other hand, if the value of the stealth stay counter is 0 or less, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is a watermelon (small winning combination 1) unlike the previous two characters (step S132o). It should be noted that instead of the watermelon (small win 1), a weak cherry (small win 2) may be used, or another win. If the internal winning combination is a watermelon, a lottery process (step S132p) for additionally displaying a Shinobu character is executed. In the lottery process here, unlike the winning probabilities of the previous two characters, the result is to add a shinobi character with a probability of 15%. The winning probability of the lottery for adding the Shinobu character may be the same as the winning probability of the lottery for adding the grandpa character, or may be higher, and is the same as the winning probability of the lottery for adding the princess character. It may be high or high. In the ninja stay counter setting process in step S132q subsequent to step S132p, when adding a shinobi character, the ninja addition flag is set to ON, and the ninja stay counter is set to a value of 1 or 2 determined by lottery. If the Shinobu character is not added, the Shinobu addition flag is kept off and the process proceeds to step S132s. The value set in the shinobi stay counter may be smaller or larger than the value set in the old stay counter in step S132e or the value set in the princess stay counter in step S132k. If the internal winning combination is other than watermelon (small winning combination 1), the ninja elimination lottery process (step S132r) is executed, and the process proceeds to step S132s. Even in the Shinobi elimination lottery process, there is a 50% chance that the Shinobi character will be erased. The winning probability of the lottery that erases the Shinobu character may be lower or higher than the winning probability of the lottery that erases the old character, or may be higher than the winning probability of the lottery that erases the princess character. However, it may be low. Once displayed, the shinobi character will not be erased until the erasure elimination lottery process wins the erasure. However, like the display screens of FIG. 7B to FIG. 7G, FIG. 7C, and FIG. 7D, the character display area 1571 itself cannot be hidden because it is not displayed. is there. If you win to erase the Shinobi character, the Shinobi additional flag is set to off.

In step S132s, preparation is performed for transmitting a character addition/deletion command indicating additional display or deletion of each character to the first sub-control unit 400, and this character addition/deletion process ends. The character addition/deletion command is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process (step S211) shown in FIG. The first sub control unit 400 transmits a control command to the second sub control unit 500 based on the transmitted character addition/deletion command. As a result, each character is additionally displayed in the character display area 1571 on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 or is deleted from the character display area 1571.

FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing the flow of point setting processing in various lottery processing, and FIG. 15 is a diagram showing various lottery tables used in point setting processing. The various lottery tables shown in FIG. 15 are stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

The point setting process (step S133) is a setting process relating to points counted by the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. That is, the setting process relating to points in the point number display PN displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 7 is performed.

In the point setting process (step S133), first, it is determined whether or not the point setting condition is satisfied (step S133a). The point setting condition here is the first game after the setting change condition in step S101 shown in FIG. 11 is satisfied and the setting is changed, or the CZ state shown by the arrow (i) in FIG. 6B. It is the first game after the game ends and the player is in the non-AT state, or the game is defeated in the true confrontation state, which is the pattern shown in FIG. 8(b). The condition is satisfied if it is the first game after (displayed) or if it is the first game after being lost in these first games. In the first game after the setting is changed or in the first game after the CZ state is ended and the non-AT state is reached, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is 000 points, and The number-of-times display LN is also the 0th lap. If the point setting condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S133b, and if the point setting condition is not satisfied, the point setting process ends.

In step S133b, point mode setting processing is performed. In the point mode setting process, the normal point mode or the chance point mode is set with a probability of each setting. Here, the point setting table shown in FIG. 15A is used. In the point setting table shown in FIG. 15A, the setting probability of the chance point mode is only 20% in the setting 1 in which the player's advantage degree is the lowest, but the setting probability of the chance point mode increases as the setting value increases. In the setting 6 in which the player's advantage degree is relatively highest, the probability of setting the chance point mode is increased to 50%, and the chance point mode is set with a probability of 1/2.

In the chance point mode, the number of true confrontation points is likely to be set lower than in the normal point mode. The true confrontation point number is one of the transition conditions from the non-AT state to the confrontation confrontation state, as described with reference to FIG. 6B, and the lower the set true confrontation point number, the false confrontation state. It becomes easier to shift to the true confrontation state than. As will be described later, the chance point mode is easier to win the pseudo BB lottery than the normal point mode. Further, since the number of laps is incremented by 1 when the true confrontation is lost, when the number of true confrontation points is low, the number of laps tends to be accumulated quickly. As will be described later, in the chance point mode, if the number of laps is 5 laps or more, there is a 100% chance of winning the true confrontation. Therefore, accumulating the number of laps earlier means that the true confrontation wins earlier. Lead to From the above, the chance point mode is more advantageous to the player than the normal point mode.

In step S133c following step S133b, a point zone setting process is performed. In the point zone setting process, a point zone with the number of true confrontation points at which the pre-confrontation effect is started and a point zone with the number of false confrontation points at which the false confrontation effect is started are set with a lottery probability according to the point mode. The point zone is a count value counted by the first P counter, that is, a cumulative value of points divided into a certain range. Here, the point zone setting table shown in FIG. 15B is used. For example, in the normal point port, neither the number of true confrontation points nor the number of false confrontation points is set within the point zone of 1 or more and 50 or less, but in the chance point mode, the point zone of 1 or more and 50 or less. If there are true confrontation points, the probability is set to 80%, and if false confrontation points are set, the probability is set to 95%. In addition, in this point zone setting table, only one point zone is set in the range of 0 or more and 500 or less, and the confrontation effect is performed only once. The confrontation effect may be performed multiple times.

In step S133d following step S133c, a point ceiling setting process is performed. In the point ceiling setting process, the true confrontation point number is determined from the true confrontation point number occurrence point zone set in the point zone setting process, and the false confrontation point number is determined from the false confrontation point number generation point zone. To do. For example, in the normal point mode, when a point zone of 101 or more and 150 or less is set for the true confrontation point, which point out of 101 or more and 150 or less is set as the true confrontation point, that is, from which point It is decided by lottery with equal probability whether or not the pre-confrontation effect will be started, and when the point zone of 201 or more and 250 or less is set for the false confrontation point, which point of 201 or more and 250 or less is false Whether to use the number of confrontation points, that is, from which point the false confrontation effect is started, is determined by a lottery with equal probability.

In step S133e following step S133d, true confrontation result setting processing is performed. In the true confrontation result setting process, a pseudo BB lottery is performed. That is, whether or not the result of the true confrontation is to win is selected by lottery, and in the case of winning, the pseudo BB1 schedule flag or the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is set to ON. In the pseudo BB1 state, while the pseudo BB1 schedule flag is set to ON, the re-winning combination of condition device number 1 shown in FIG. 5B is internally won, and the symbol of the re-playing combination 2 is stopped and displayed. Then, in the pseudo BB2 state, while the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is set to ON, the internal re-winning combination of the condition game number 1 shown in FIG. It shifts when the symbol of 3 is stopped and displayed. Here, the true confrontation result setting table shown in FIG. 15C is used. In the true confrontation result setting table shown in FIG. 15C, the lottery probabilities are set separately for the normal point mode and the chance point mode for each setting. The lottery probability may also differ depending on the number of laps (point lap). For example, in the chance point mode, after 5 laps, there is a 100% probability of winning the true confrontation. Furthermore, when the result of the true confrontation is won to win, a lottery is separately performed to set the pseudo BB1 schedule flag to ON or to set the pseudo BB2 schedule flag to ON. The number of laps is incremented by 1 when the true confrontation is lost, and the number of points is returned to 0. In the false confrontation, the confrontation will not be won unless the AT direct hit lottery is won.

FIG. 16A is a flowchart showing the flow of the point increase elimination process in various lottery processes, and FIG. 16B is a diagram showing the point increase setting table prepared in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

The point increase elimination process (step S134) is a process of increasing the points counted by the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. That is, the processing is related to the increase of the points in the point number display PN displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG.

In the point increase elimination process (step S134), first, it is determined whether or not the point increase condition is satisfied (step S134a). The point increasing condition here is limited to the present effect state being any one of the non-AT state, the confrontation state, and the confrontation state shown in FIG. 6B. However, even in the non-AT state, when the value of the first P counter is 0 and the value of the first circulation counter (details described later) is also 0, the point increase condition is not satisfied when the lost symbol is stopped. That is, when returning to the non-AT state, both the number of laps and the number of points become 0, and points are not increased until returning to the non-AT state and winning a winning combination other than a loss. In addition, the points are not increased even in the pseudo BB state, the AT state, and the CZ state, which are states in which the privilege is granted. An example of the privilege here is an operation condition notification effect. In addition, it is a privilege that the operation condition notification effect can be executed even if it is not actually executed. If the point increase condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S134b, and if the point increase condition is not satisfied, the point increase elimination process ends.

In addition, the point increase condition may be satisfied with one or a plurality of winning combinations other than the losing, or may be not satisfied with one or a plurality of winning combinations other than the losing. Furthermore, it may be unsatisfied in the case of any of a plurality of losing combinations.

In step S134b, a point increase setting process according to each character is performed. Here, the point increase setting table shown in FIG. 16B is used. In the point increase setting table shown in FIG. 16B, the number of points awarded for each winning combination is determined for each of the lord's character (character A), the grandfather's character (character B), and the princess' character (character C). There is. In the table in FIG. 16(b), "replay" means any one of the re-play combinations 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 5(a), and "bell" is the small combination shown in FIG. 5(a). 5 or the minor role 6 (the same applies in the following description). At least 1 point is awarded to any character. Further, when the shinobi character (character D) is displayed, the award points of the other displayed characters are doubled. In the point increase setting process, the value of the first P counter is added.

In step S134c subsequent to step S134b, preparation is made to transmit a point-increase command for each character including the point value for increase determined in the previous point-increase setting processing to the first sub-control unit 400, and this point increase is performed. The erasing process ends. That is, the point increase command does not include the count value (cumulative value) after the increase in the first P counter, but the value of the increased point (increase amount). Further, since it is for each character, the point increase amount for each character is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

The point increase display in the point number display PN displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 7 is performed after the winning combination is determined and before the next game is started.

However, in this step S134c, when the lost symbol is stopped after the power interruption and recovery is performed, preparation for transmitting the point increase command for each character to the first sub control unit 400 is not performed. Therefore, when the power is restored and the power is restored, the character-based point increase command is not transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 until the winning combination other than the loss is won, and the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is The value remains 0 and is not displayed in increments.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the flow of AT lottery processing in various lottery processing, and FIG. 18 is a diagram showing various lottery tables used in AT lottery processing. The various lottery tables shown in FIG. 18 are stored in the ROM 306 of the main controller 300.

In the AT lottery process (step S135), first, it is determined whether or not the specific combination is internally won (step S135a). The specific combination here is the weak cherry of the small combination 2, the watermelon of the small combination 1, the strong cherry of the small combination 3, and the chance of the small combination 4. If the specific winning combination is not internally won, the process proceeds to step S135c. If the specific winning combination is internally won, the AT lottery process corresponding to the specific winning combination is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. 18(a) (step S135b). ). With strong cherry and chance, there is a 100% chance of winning the AT lottery. Further, when the AT lottery is won, the lottery table shown in FIG. 18B is used to perform the lottery for the number of AT games (the number of times of navigation).

In step S135c, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won, and if it is won, the process proceeds to step S135g. If not, in step S135d, the effect state is the CZ state. Determine whether or not. If the effect state is the CZ state, then in step S135e, the AT lottery process corresponding to the number of games in the CZ state is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. 18C, and the process proceeds to step S135g. In the AT lottery here, the winning probabilities of the third and thirty games are the highest. Furthermore, when the AT lottery is won, the lottery table shown in FIG. 18B is also used to perform the lottery for the number of AT games (the number of times of navigation). In the AT lottery process in the CZ state, the number of AT games may be set to a predetermined number.

If the effect state is not the CZ state, in step S135f, the AT direct hit lottery process is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. 18(d), and the process proceeds to step S135g. In the AT direct hit lottery process, each game lottery process is executed. In the AT direct hit lottery process, the winning probability differs depending on the setting, and the setting 6 is the easiest to win, but the setting 2 has the higher winning probability than the setting 3, and the setting 4 has the higher winning ratio. The probability is high. However, the winning probability may increase as the set value increases. Furthermore, if the AT direct hit lottery is won, the lottery table shown in FIG. 18B is also used to perform the lottery for the number of AT games (number of times of navigation). In the AT direct hit lottery process, the number of AT games may be set to a predetermined number. Further, the AT direct hit lottery may not be executed every game, but may be executed only when an internal winning is performed for a specific combination (for example, a chance).

In step S135g, a flag corresponding to the winning lottery result is set to ON. In the RAM 308 of the main controller 300, two types of AT schedule flag and AT direct hit flag are prepared. If the AT lottery process corresponding to the specific winning combination in step S135b and the AT lottery process corresponding to the number of games in the CZ state in step S135e are won, the AT schedule flag is set to ON, and the AT direct hit lottery process in step S135f. If it is won, the AT direct hit flag is set to ON.

In step S135h following step S135g, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the AT state. If the effect state is not the AT state, the AT lottery process ends. On the other hand, if the effect state is the AT state, in step S135i, the AT addition lottery process corresponding to the internally won combination is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. 18(e). Also in the AT addition lottery process, the winning combination is limited to the weak cherry of the small winning combination 2, the watermelon of the small winning combination 1, the strong cherry of the small winning combination 3, and the chance of the small winning combination 4. In the lottery table shown in FIG. 18(e), the winning probability is set for each winning combination, and when winning, the number of AT games to be added is determined by lottery. Here, the number of games to be added is determined from among 3 games, 5 games, 10 games, 20 games, and 30 games. When the AT addition lottery process is performed, the AT lottery process ends.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the flow of the state update process in the main process of the main controller.

First, in step S19a executed first, RT is updated. As described above, in the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, since the RT and the game state have a one-to-one relationship, when the RT is updated, the game state is also updated.

In a succeeding step S19b, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the non-AT state, the process proceeds to step S19c if it is not the non-AT state, and the process proceeds to step S191 if it is the non-AT state. In step S191, the non-AT state process is executed, and the state update process ends. Details of the non-AT state process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S19c, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the pre-confrontation state, and if it is not the pre-confrontation state, the process proceeds to step S19d, and if it is the pre-confrontation state, the process proceeds to step S192. In step S192, a signing confrontation state process is executed, and this state updating process ends. Details of the confrontation sign state process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S19d, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the confrontation state. If it is not the confrontation state, the process proceeds to step S19e, and if it is the confrontation state, the process proceeds to step S193. In step S193, the confrontation state process is executed, and the state update process ends. Details of the confrontation state process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S19e, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the pseudo BB state. If it is not the pseudo BB state, the process proceeds to step S19f, and if it is the pseudo BB state, the process proceeds to step S194. In step S194, the pseudo BB state process is executed, and this state update process ends. Details of the pseudo BB state processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S19f, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the AT state. If it is not the AT state, the process proceeds to step S196, and if it is the AT state, the process proceeds to step S195. In step S195, AT state processing is executed, and this state update processing ends. Details of the AT state processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S196, the CZ state process is executed, and this state update process ends. Details of the CZ state processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

FIG. 20A is a flowchart showing the flow of the non-AT state process in the state update process.

In the non-AT state process (step S191), first, it is determined whether the AT direct hit flag is set to ON (step S1911). If the AT direct hit flag is set to ON, the effect state is set to the AT state (step S1912), and the AT direct hit flag is set to OFF (step S1913). Next, preparation is performed for transmitting the first P counter value command including the count value of the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400, and this non-AT state process ends.

On the other hand, if the AT direct hit flag is not set to ON, the G number ceiling determination process is executed (step S1915), then the point ceiling determination process (step S1916) is executed, and the non-AT state process ends. Become.

FIG. 20B is a flowchart showing the flow of the G number ceiling determination process.

The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a ceiling G number counter in addition to the first P counter. In the G number ceiling determination process (step S1915), first, 1 is added to the ceiling G number counter (step S1915a), and the count value of the ceiling G number counter is the number of ceiling games described in FIG. 6B. It is determined whether or not the game 499 has been reached (step S1915b), and if not reached, this G number ceiling determination processing ends. On the contrary, if the number of ceiling games has been reached, as described with reference to FIG. 6B, the non-AT state shifts to the confrontation warning state. In step S1915c, the effect state is set to the pre-confrontation state, and the number of games that maintain the pre-confrontation state is set. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is also provided with a counter sign warning counter, and here, the value of the number of games determined by lottery between 2 games and 32 games is set in the counter warning sign counter. In the following step S1915d, the pseudo BB1 schedule flag is set to ON, and the G number ceiling determination process ends. By setting the pseudo BB1 schedule flag to ON in step S1915d, when the ceiling game number is exhausted, the pseudo BB1 state is surely entered.

FIG. 20C is a flowchart showing the flow of the point ceiling determination processing.

When it is determined in the point increase setting process of step S134b shown in FIG. 16A that the number of points corresponding to each character is to be increased, the main control is performed in step S1916a in this point ceiling determination process (step S1916). The incremented point value is added to the count value of the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the unit 300.

In a succeeding step S1916b, it is determined whether or not the count value of the first P counter is equal to or larger than the number of false confrontation points determined in the point ceiling setting process (step S133d) shown in FIG. If it is less than the number of false confrontation points, the process proceeds to step S1916d. On the contrary, if the number of false confrontation points is equal to or more, the effect state is set to the confrontation state, and the number of games for maintaining the confrontation state is set. A confrontation counter is also prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, and here, the value of the number of games determined by lottery between 2 games and 4 games is set in the confrontation counter. Then, it progresses to step S1916d.

In step S1916d, it is determined whether or not the count value of the first P counter is equal to or larger than the number of true confrontation points determined in the point ceiling setting process (step S133d) shown in FIG. If it is less than the number of true confrontation points, this point ceiling determination processing ends. On the other hand, if the number of true confrontation points is equal to or more than the true confrontation points, the effect state is set to the pre-confrontation state, and the number of games maintaining the pre-confrontation state is set in the pre-confrontation counter. Here too, the number of games determined by lottery between 2 and 32 games is set in the confrontation counter. When step S1916d is executed, this point ceiling determination processing ends.

FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the flow of the pre-confrontation state processing in the state update processing.

In the confrontation sign state process (step S192), first, the value of the confrontation sign counter is decremented by 1 (step S1921), and it is determined whether or not the value of the confrontation sign counter is 0 (step S1922). If not, this confrontation precursory state process ends. On the other hand, if it is 0, in step S1923, the effect state is set to the confrontation state, the number of games for maintaining the confrontation state is set in the confrontation counter, and the pre-confrontation state process is ended. Also in step S1923, the value of the number of games determined by lottery between the two games and the four games is set in the confrontation counter.

When the number of ceiling games is reached in the pre-confrontation state, if the lord is defeated in the confrontation production following the pre-confrontation production that is being performed at that time, the player returns to the pre-confrontation state again. In addition, when the number of true confrontation points is reached in the pre-confrontation state, if the lord is defeated in the confrontation production following the pre-confrontation production that was being performed at that time, it will return to the pre-confrontation state again and reach the false confrontation point number. Then, if the lord is defeated in the confrontation effect following the pre-confrontation sign effect that is being performed at that time, the state shifts to the confrontation state.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the flow of the confrontation state process in the state update process.

In the confrontation state process (step S193), first, it is determined whether or not the AT direct hit flag is set to ON (step S193a). If the AT direct hit flag is set to ON, the effect state is set to the AT state (step S193b), and the AT direct hit flag is set to OFF (step S193c). Since the AT direct hit flag is set to ON, the scene where the lord has won (see FIG. 7D) is displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157. Next, preparation is made to transmit the first P counter value command including the count value of the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 (step S193d), and this confrontation state process ends. become. By executing step S193d, the information of the count value (true point value) of the first P counter is transmitted to the sub control side when the confrontation is won. Also in the first sub-control unit 400 (sub-control side), the RAM 408 is provided with a second P counter, and the count value of the first P counter included in the first P counter value command transmitted from the main control unit 300 is displayed. , The second P counter is overwritten. The overwriting process for the second P counter is the same when the step S193k, step S193o, step S196e, and step S196i described later are executed.

Note that the second P counter of the first sub-control unit 400 (sub-control side) is reset by the power interruption/recovery. The main control unit 300 includes a counter that behaves the same as the second P counter, that is, a third P counter that is reset by power interruption and recovery. When the values of the third P counter and the first P counter are compared and they do not match, You may perform the process which increases the increase point so that the value of the 3rd P counter (the same value as the value of the 2nd P counter) may approach the value of the 1st P counter one or more times. In this case, all the difference points may be added. In addition, the main control unit 300 sends the count value of the first P counter to the first sub-control unit 400 (sub-control side) for each game, and the first sub-control unit 400 (sub-control side) performs the process of matching the values. May be. Furthermore, the backup power supply may be mounted on the first sub-control unit 400 (sub-control side), and the first sub-control unit 400 (sub-control side) may include a first P counter and a second P counter to perform the above processing. ..

On the other hand, if the AT direct hit flag is not set to ON, the value of the confrontation counter is decremented by 1 (step S193e), it is determined whether or not the value of the confrontation counter has become 0 (step S193f), and it becomes 0. If not, the confrontation state process ends. On the contrary, if it is 0, the process proceeds to step S193g. It should be noted that if the value of the confrontation counter is 0 in the process of step S193e, it remains 0. In step S193g, it is determined whether the pseudo BB1 schedule flag or the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is turned on. If either one of the schedule flags is turned on, this time, the pseudo flag of the turned on flag is simulated. It is determined whether or not the BB symbol is stopped and displayed (step S193h). That is, if the pseudo BB1 schedule flag is turned on, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination of the re-game combination 2 is stopped and displayed. If the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is turned on, the symbol of the re-game combination 3 is determined. It is determined whether or not the combination is stopped and displayed. If the pseudo BB symbol is not stopped and displayed, this confrontation state process ends, and if the pseudo BB symbol is stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to step S193i. As described above, the pseudo BB1 state is maintained for 20 games, and the pseudo BB2 state is maintained for 15 games. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a pseudo BB state counter for counting the consumption of these games. In step S193i, when the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 2 is stopped and displayed, the effect state is set to the pseudo BB1 state and the pseudo BB state counter is set to a value of 20. When the symbol combination of the re-game combination 3 is stopped and displayed, the effect state is set to the pseudo BB2 state, and the pseudo BB state counter is set to a value of 15. Subsequently, the schedule flag of the pseudo BB symbol displayed in a stopped state is set to OFF (step S193j), and similarly to step S193d described above, preparation for transmitting the first P counter value command to the first sub control unit 400 is performed. (Step S193k), this confrontation state process ends.

If the result of determination in step S193g is that neither the pseudo BB1 schedule flag nor the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is on, it is determined whether the AT schedule flag is on (step S193l) and the AT schedule is set. If the flag is on, the process proceeds to step S193m. As described above, the AT game number (navigation times) is selected by using the lottery table shown in FIG. 18B, and the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 counts the exhaustion of the AT game number. An AT status counter is provided for this purpose. In step S193m, the effect state is set to the AT state, and the AT state counter is set to the value of the number of AT games (number of times of navigation) based on the lottery result. Next, the AT schedule flag is set to OFF (step S193n), and again, similarly to step S193d, preparations are made to transmit the first P counter value command to the first sub-control unit 400 (step S193o), and the confrontation state process is performed. Is finished.

On the other hand, if the AT schedule flag is not turned on, it is determined whether or not the true confrontation has been lost (step S193p). The determination here is to determine whether to lose in the true confrontation or the false confrontation. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a first revolution counter that counts the number of revolutions (point revolution) in addition to the first P counter. If the player is defeated in the true confrontation, the count value of the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is reset to 0, and 1 is added to the first lap counter (step S193q). Subsequently, the effect state is set to the non-AT state (step S193r), and the confrontation state process ends. If the player loses in the false confrontation, the counter update processing is not performed and the process proceeds to step S193r. As a result, if you are defeated in a false confrontation, the number of points and the number of laps will continue.

When the number of ceiling games is reached in the confrontation state, if the Lord is defeated in the confrontation state, the state shifts to the pre-confrontation state. Also, in the confrontation state, when the number of true confrontation points is reached, if the Lord is defeated in that confrontation state, it shifts to the pre-confrontation state, and when the number of fake confrontation points is reached, the pre-confrontation effect that was being performed at that time If Tonosama is defeated in the confrontation production following, return to the confrontation state again.

FIG. 23A is a flowchart showing the flow of the pseudo BB state process in the state update process.

In the pseudo BB state processing (step S194), first, the value of the pseudo BB state counter is decremented by 1 (step S194a), it is determined whether or not the value of the pseudo BB state counter becomes 0 (step S194b), and it is set to 0. If not, the pseudo BB state process ends.

There is a grace of 32 games from the start of the CZ state to the shift to the non-AT state. The player must win the AT lottery or the pseudo BB lottery to stop and display the pseudo BB symbol during the 32 games. The RAM 308 of the main controller 300 is provided with a CZ state counter for counting the consumption of the 32 games. If the value of the pseudo BB state counter is 0, in step S194c, the effect state is set to the CZ state, the CZ state counter is set to 32, and the pseudo BB state process ends.

FIG. 23B is a flowchart showing the flow of AT state processing in the state update processing.

In the AT state process (step S195), first, it is determined whether or not the effect of the operation condition notification (navi) is being executed (step S195a), and if the effect of the operation condition notification is not executed, the process proceeds to step S195c. On the other hand, if the effect of notifying the operation condition is executed, the value of the AT state counter is decremented by 1 (step S195b), and the process proceeds to step S195c.

In step S195c, it is determined whether or not the value of the pseudo BB state counter has become 0. If the value has not become 0, this AT state processing ends. On the other hand, if the value of the AT state counter is 0, in step S195d, the effect state is set to the CZ state, the CZ state counter is set to 32, and the AT state process ends.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the flow of CZ state processing in the state update processing.

In the CZ state process (step S196), it is determined whether the pseudo BB1 schedule flag or the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is turned on (step S196a). In the CZ state, a pseudo BB lottery is performed in the main controller 300 every game, and the pseudo BB1 schedule flag or the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is set to ON by winning the pseudo BB lottery. In the CZ state, the pseudo BB lottery may be performed by the main control unit 300 when the specific winning combination (for example, the chance) is internally won. If either one of the schedule flags is turned on, it is determined whether or not the pseudo BB symbol of the flag which is turned on is stopped and displayed (step S196b). That is, if the pseudo BB1 schedule flag is turned on, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination of the re-game combination 2 is stopped and displayed. If the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is turned on, the symbol of the re-game combination 3 is determined. It is determined whether or not the combination is stopped and displayed. If the pseudo BB symbol is not stopped and displayed, this CZ state process ends, and if the pseudo BB symbol is stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to step S196c. In step S196c, when the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 2 is stopped and displayed, the effect state is set to the pseudo BB1 state and the pseudo BB state counter is set to a value of 20. When the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 3 is stopped and displayed, the effect state is set to the pseudo BB2 state, and the pseudo BB state counter is set to a value of 15. Subsequently, the schedule flag of the pseudo BB symbol that is stopped and displayed is set to OFF (step S196d), and similarly to step S193d shown in FIG. 22, preparation for transmitting the first P counter value command to the first sub control unit 400 is performed. (Step S196e), the CZ state process ends.

If the result of determination in step S196a is that neither the pseudo BB1 schedule flag nor the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is on, it is determined whether the AT schedule flag is on (step S196f), and the AT schedule is set. If the flag is on, the process proceeds to step S196g. In step S196g, the effect state is set to the AT state, and the AT state counter is set to the value of the AT game number (navigation number) based on the lottery result. Next, the AT schedule flag is set to OFF (step S196h), and again, similarly to step S193d shown in FIG. 22, preparation is made to transmit the first P counter value command to the first sub control unit 400 (step S196i), This confrontation state process ends.

On the other hand, if the AT schedule flag is not turned on, the value of the CZ state counter is decremented by 1 (step S196j), and the process proceeds to step S196k. In step S196k, it is determined whether or not the value of the CZ state counter has become 0. If the value has not become 0, this CZ state processing ends. On the other hand, if the value of the CZ state counter is 0, the effect state is set to the non-AT state in step S196l. Further, the count value of the first P counter is reset to 0, the count value of the first revolution counter is also reset to 0, and the CZ state process ends. As a result, when the CZ state is shifted to the non-AT state, both the number of points and the number of laps are zero.

<Process of the first sub-control unit 400>
Next, the processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 25A is a flowchart of the main processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 25B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 25C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400.

First, in step S31, various initial settings are performed. The initial setting is executed when the power is turned on. In this initial processing, the initial setting of the input/output port, the initialization processing of the storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed. In this process, the RAM 408 is provided with an area for storing internal winning information, which is information indicating a result of internal winning, and an area for storing RT update information, which is information indicating a gaming state.

In step S32, it is determined whether the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S305.

In step S33, 0 is substituted for the timer variable.

In step S34, command processing, which is processing corresponding to each command received from the main control unit 300, is executed.

In step S35, effect control processing is performed. Here, the process of expanding the effect data and setting the device data in the effect execution area provided in the RAM 408, the process of setting the effect data in the effect reservation area provided in the RAM 408, and the received command Based on the information included in the command, the effect data is set, the control process is executed, and the like. The effect data set in the effect reservation area and the device data set in the effect execution area may be updated (overwritten) with other data. In this case, the effect contents are changed based on the overwritten data. Details of this effect control process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S36, sound control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S35. For example, the control data is acquired from the device data set in the effect execution area corresponding to the speakers 272 and 277, and the acquired control data is output to the sound source IC 418 to execute the sound effect.

In step S37, lamp control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S35. For example, the control data is acquired from the device data set in the effect execution area corresponding to the various lamps 420, and the acquired control data is output to the drive circuit 422 to execute the effect by the lamps.

In step S38, shutter control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S35. For example, the control data is acquired from the device data set in the effect execution area corresponding to the shutter 163, and the acquired control data is output to the drive circuit 424 to execute the effect by the shutter 163.

In step S39, an information output process is performed to set the transmission of the control command to the second sub control unit 500 based on various processing results. For example, if there is device data set in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157, the device data is prepared to be transmitted to the second sub control unit 500, and the process returns to step S32.

Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The command reception interrupt process is a process executed by the first sub control unit 400 when the strobe signal output from the main control unit 300 is detected. In step S30a of the command reception interrupt process, the command output by the main control unit 300 is stored in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 as an unprocessed command.

Next, the first sub-control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms). The timer interrupt process is triggered by this timer interrupt. To be executed in the cycle.

In step S301, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S32 in the first sub-control unit main processing shown in FIG. 25A, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S32, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms×10).

In step S302, the device data is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 set in step S38, and the effect random number updating process is performed.

Next, the details of the effect control process (step S35) in the first sub-control unit main process of FIG. 25A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26A is a flowchart of the effect control process (step S35) in FIG.

First, in step S351 that is first executed, character addition and deletion processing is executed. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

In a succeeding step S352, a point increase erasing process is executed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Next, in step S353, zone display addition/deletion processing is executed. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

In a succeeding step S354, counter display processing is executed. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

In the final step S355, a navigation display process is executed, and this effect control process ends. The number of AT games is included in the internal winning command and is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process of step S211 shown in FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 also manages the exhaustion of the number of AT games, and if the number of AT games remains, displays the operation condition notification (navigation) shown in FIG. In the navigation display processing, the information for instructing to display the operation condition notification (navi) is set in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157.

FIG. 26B is a flowchart of the character addition/deletion process (step S351).

The character addition/deletion command prepared in step S132s shown in FIG. 13 is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process of step S211 shown in FIG. In step S351a in the character addition/deletion process, it is determined whether or not the information for adding the grandfather character is included in the transmitted character addition/deletion command, and if it is included, the additional display of the grandfather character is displayed. The information for instructing is set in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157, and a grandfather addition process is performed (step S351b), and the process proceeds to step S351c. On the other hand, if the information for adding the grandpa character is not included, it is determined whether or not the information for deleting the grandpa character is included (step S351d), and if the information for deleting the grandpa character is not included, step S351c is also included. If it is included, a grandfather erasing process that sets information for erasing the display of the grandfather's character in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157 is performed (step S351e), and step S351c. Proceed to.

In step S351c, it is determined whether or not the information for adding the princess character is included in the transmitted character addition/deletion command, and if it is included, information for instructing the additional display of the princess character is displayed. The princess addition process for setting the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157 is performed (step S351f), and the process proceeds to step S351g. On the other hand, if the information for adding the princess character is not included, on the contrary, it is determined whether or not the information for deleting the princess character is included (step S351h), and if it is not included also here, step S351g. If it is included, a princess deletion process of setting information for instructing to erase the display of the princess character in the production execution area corresponding to the production image display device 157 is performed (step S351i), and step S351g. Proceed to.

In step S351g, it is determined whether the transmitted character addition/deletion command includes information for adding a Shinobu character, and if so, information for instructing additional display of the Shinobu character is displayed. Then, the ninja addition process for setting the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157 is performed (step S351j), and the character addition and deletion process ends. On the other hand, if the information for adding the Shinobu character is not included, it is determined whether or not the information for deleting the Shinobu character is included (step S351k). If it is not included here, the character is added. The erasing process is ended, and if included, the ninshin erasing process is performed to set information for instructing to erase the display of the Shinobu character in the production execution area corresponding to the production image display device 157 (step S351l). ), the process of adding and deleting characters ends.

FIG. 27A is a flowchart of the point increasing/erasing process (step S352).

The point increasing command for each character prepared in step S134c shown in FIG. 16A is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process of step S211 shown in FIG. In step S352a in the point increase erasing process, it is determined whether the point increase command is stored in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 as an unprocessed command. As described in the description of FIG. 16A, the point increase command is a command transmitted when the point increase condition is satisfied. That is, the command is transmitted only when the production state is any one of the non-AT state, the confrontation state, and the confrontation state. However, even in the non-AT state, the point increase command is not transmitted when the lost symbol is stopped when the number of laps is 0 and the number of points is also 0. As described above, the point increase command includes the value (increase amount) of the increased point, not the count value (cumulative value) after the increase in the first P counter. If the point increase command is stored as an unprocessed command, point increase setting processing is performed according to the point increase command for each character (step S352b). In addition, the effect image display device 157 displays the added amount for each character. In the RAM 408 of the first sub-control unit 400, in addition to the second P counter, an additional recording area is prepared for each character. In the point increase setting process, the number of points for addition is recorded in the addition recording area for each character. Next, the increased points obtained by adding up the added amount (increased amount) for each character are added to the second P counter (step S352c), and this point increase erasing process ends. For example, when 1 point is added for the character of the lord and 5 points are added for the grandfather character, 6 points are added to the second P counter.

In addition to the point increasing mand, the character addition/deletion command prepared in step S132s shown in FIG. 13 is also transmitted to the first sub control unit 400. In the RAM 408 of the first sub-control unit 400, additional flags are prepared for each character (grandpa, princess, shinobi) other than the character of the lord, which is the default character. For example, if the character addition/erase command includes information for adding a grandpa character, the grandpa addition flag is set to ON. Steps S352b and S352c are executed only for characters for which the additional flag is set to ON, for characters other than the default character, which is Tonosama. Here, when the power failure is restored, all the additional flags of each character prepared in the RAM 408 of the first sub-control unit 400 are turned off. Therefore, even if the command to increase the point of the lord's character and the command to increase the point of the character other than the lord's character are transmitted after the power is restored, only the command to increase the point of the lord's character is transmitted in step S352b and step S352c. It is processed.

Further, the RAM 408 of the first sub-control unit 400 is also provided with a second revolution counter. The point increase command also includes information indicating that the number of laps has increased or the number of laps has been reset.

The timing at which the number of turns is reset is when the CZ state is shifted to the non-AT state, when the setting is changed, and when power is restored due to power interruption.

On the other hand, the timing when the number of laps increases is when the player loses the true confrontation, or when he or she first wins a game other than lose after shifting from the CZ state to the non-AT state (the number of laps increases from 0 to 1). It was when the player won the first prize except for a loss after a power failure and power recovery. If the point increase command includes information indicating that the number of laps has increased, 1 is added to the second lap counter in step S352c.

When the true confrontation is lost, the count value of the first P counter is reset to 0 (step S193q), and the first sub-control unit 400 clears points in the command setting transmission process of step S211 (see FIG. 10). The command is sent. If the point increase command is not stored as an unprocessed command, it is determined in step S352d whether or not the point clear command is stored as an unprocessed command. If the point clear command is not stored, the point increase erasing process is ended. If the point clear command is stored, the value of the second P counter is reset to 0 (step S352e), and the point increase erasing process is ended. Become. If the point clear command includes information indicating that the number of laps has been reset (corresponding to the case where the CZ state is changed to the non-AT state), the value of the second lap counter is also set in step S352e. Reset to 0. Further, in step S352e, a second P counter initial value setting flag, which will be described later, is also cleared.

FIG. 27B is a flowchart of the zone display addition/deletion process (step S353).

On the effect image display device 157, the zone display is displayed, erased, or not displayed. This zone display is a display that suggests that the player is in an advantageous state, and more specifically, whether the point value displayed in the point number display PN is the true confrontation point number or the false confrontation point number. Although it is unknown, it is a display notifying that the player is in a point zone where it is highly likely that either of the confrontation points will be reached. The zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572. The CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400 determines whether the value of the second P counter is a value corresponding to the zone display (step S353a), and if it is the corresponding value, displays the zone display. Zone display addition processing for setting the designated zone display information in the production execution area corresponding to the production image display device 157 is performed (step S353b), and the zone display addition and deletion processing ends. On the contrary, if the value of the second P counter is not the value corresponding to the zone display, the zone display erasing process is performed (step S353c), and the zone display adding and erasing process ends. In the zone display deleting process, if the zone display information is set in the production execution area corresponding to the production image display device 157, the zone display information is deleted from the production execution area, and if the zone display information is not set, No information is set.

FIG. 27C is a table showing whether or not the zone display is displayed.

As shown in the table of FIG. 17C, the zone display is displayed, erased, or not displayed corresponding to the point zone described with reference to FIG. 15B. That is, in the point zone setting table shown in FIG. 15B, the zone display is displayed in the point zone having a relatively high probability, and the zone display is erased or not displayed in the point zone having a relatively low probability. In addition, the zone display here does not distinguish between the normal point mode and the chance point mode, and if the probability is high in either mode, the zone display is displayed, and if the probability is low, the zone display is deleted or not displayed. However, the normal point mode and the chance point mode may be distinguished from each other, and the zone display may be displayed, erased, or not displayed. For example, in the chance mode, the zone display is displayed when the value of the second P counter belongs to the point zone of 1 to 50 and the point zone of 51 to 100, and the zone display is displayed in the other point zones. It may not be displayed.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the counter display process (step S354).

In the counter display process (step S354), first, in step S354a, it is determined whether or not the display condition of the counter display is satisfied. The display condition of the counter display is limited to one of the non-AT effect, the false confrontation effect, and the confrontation victory effect. If this display condition is not satisfied, the counter display process ends. On the other hand, if this display condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S354b whether or not the initial value setting condition of the second P counter is satisfied. The initial value setting condition of the second P counter is satisfied when the value of the second revolution counter is 0, the value of the second P counter is 0, and the second P counter initial value setting flag is off. If the initial value setting condition of the second P counter is satisfied, 0 is set as the initial value in the second P counter in step S354c, and the second P counter initial value setting flag is turned on in step S354d. It should be noted that the count value of the second P counter may be set to a specific value different from 0 in addition to uniformly setting it to 0, or a value selected by lottery or a predetermined order from two or more kinds of values. It may be a value. In step S354e, whether or not the first P counter value command prepared in step S193d, step S193k, step S193o, step S196e, and step S196i described above is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408. To judge. If the first P counter value command is not stored, the process proceeds to step S354g, and if it is stored, step S354f is executed before proceeding to step S354g. In step S354f, the count value of the first P counter included in the first P counter value command is overwritten on the second P counter of the RAM 408. By executing this step S354f, the value of the second P counter, which did not match the value of the first P counter until then, matches the value of the first P counter.

In step S354g, information for instructing to display the value of the second P counter of the RAM 408 in the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is set in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157, and the counter display is performed. The process ends.

<Processing of second sub-control unit 500>
Next, the processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 29A is a flowchart of the main process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 29B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 29C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 29D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

First, in step S41 of FIG. 29A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S41. In this initialization processing, the input/output port initialization and the storage area initialization processing in the RAM 508 are performed.

In step S42, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S43.

In step S43, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

In step S44, command processing is performed. In the command processing, the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether or not a command is received from the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400.

In step S45, effect control processing is performed. Specifically, if there is a new command in step S44, the process corresponding to this command is performed. For example, a process of reading effect data for performing image control regarding the background image from the ROM 506 is executed. Further, it includes processing such as reading other effect data from the ROM 506, and performing effect data update processing when the effect data needs to be updated.

In step S46, image control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S45. For example, if the effect data read in step S45 includes an image control command, image control corresponding to this command is performed. For example, image control regarding the display image (notification image, background image) is executed. This image control process will be described later with reference to FIG. When this image control process ends, the process returns to step S42.

Next, the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The command reception interrupt process is a process executed by the second sub control unit 500 when the strobe signal output from the first sub control unit 400 is detected. In step S40a of the command reception interrupt process, the command output by the first sub-control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

Next, the second sub-control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms). The timer interrupt process is triggered by this timer interrupt. To be executed in the cycle.

In step S401, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S42 in the second sub-control unit main processing shown in FIG. 29A and stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S42, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms×10).

In step S402, an effect random number updating process or the like is performed.

Next, the image control process of step S46 in the main process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure is a diagram showing a flowchart showing the flow of the image control processing.

In step S461, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the drawing areas of the display area A and the display area B of the VRAM 518. As a result, the one-frame image stored in the display area that is not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the effect image display device 157. Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 518) and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 516 based on the table of position information etc., and then the image from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 516 transfers the image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518 based on the instruction set in the attribute register. After that, the VDP 516 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

In step S462, it is determined whether or not the transfer end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 is input. If the transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S463, and if not, the transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for you.

In step S463, parameter setting is performed based on the effect scenario configuration table, attribute data, and the like. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 518 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S461, the CPU 504 has information of image data forming the display image (coordinate axis of VRAM 518, image size , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates), image superposition and transparency, etc. to the VDP 516. The VDP 516 sets a parameter according to the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

In step S464, a drawing instruction is given. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 516 to start drawing an image. The VDP 516 starts image drawing in the frame buffer according to the instruction of the CPU 504.

In step S465, it is determined whether or not the generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 based on the image drawing end is input. If the generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S431, otherwise, the generation end interrupt signal. Wait for is input.

In step S466, the scene display counter, which is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many scenes of images have been generated, is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

Next, an example of effects on the effect image display device 157 will be described.

Also in this example, the chance point mode is set, and the number of false confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 33(b2), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 2 points to 57. The count value of the second P counter has also increased to 57. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 33(b2), a confrontation animation corresponding to the confrontation state in which the lord and the enemy swordsman face each other is displayed, and a character display of "confrontation effect" is displayed on the upper right of the display screen. Has been done. Note that the confrontation effect here is also a false confrontation effect. In FIG. 33(b2), the effect state is shifted from the non-AT state to the confrontation state. When transitioning to the confrontation state, the character display area 1571 disappears, and the face image tp of the lord's character also disappears from the face image hp of the princess character. On the other hand, the effect information display area 1572 is displayed, and the point number display PN has already increased by 2 points to "057". That is, the point number display PN is the same value as the count value of the second P counter. Although the face image tp of the lord's character and the face image hp of the princess' character have disappeared, the increased 2 points are the added value of the lord's character (+1) and the added value of the princess' character (+1). Is the total value of.

Just before FIG. 33(b3), the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and in FIG. 33(b3), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 11 points to 68. Also, the count value of the second P counter has increased to 68. However, the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 33(b3) remains "057". In this example, the second addition amount display Tad appears on the effect information display area 1572 side as soon as the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed. That is, the animation of FIG. 30(c2) is cut, and the time is as short as the scale of the cut animation. The second added value display Tad shown in FIG. 33(b3) is a display (“+11” in this case) indicating the sum of the added value (+1) of the lord's character and the added value (+10) of the princess character. Is displayed).

Also, in this example, the animation (the animation in FIG. 30(c4)) in which the second addition display Tad moves toward the point number display PN is cut, and only the scale of the cut animation is cut. Even shorter time.

In FIG. 33(b4), the second addition display Tad disappears, and the point number display PN is “068” which indicates the same value as the count value of the second P counter. That is, the point number display PN is changed to a display obtained by adding 11 points.

The example shown on the right side of FIG. 33 is an example in which a lord's character, a princess's character, and a shinobi's character are initially displayed as characters, and is different from the example shown in the center of FIG. 33 described above. The description will be focused on the points, and redundant description may be omitted.

In FIG. 33(c1) also, it is in the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and the old man are in the palace in the castle. Further, in the character display area 1571 in FIG. 33(c1), in addition to the face image tp of the character of the lord, which is the default character, the face image hp of the princess character and the face image sp of the shinobi character are displayed. Thus, a total of three face images are displayed. Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 55 and the count value of the second P counter is also 55, and "055" is displayed as the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572.

Subsequently, the symbol combination of the lost symbols is stopped and displayed. In this example, the chance point mode is set, and the number of false confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 33(c2), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter each increase by 4 points to 59. These 4 points are 1 point for the lord and 1 point for the princess, doubled by the shinobi. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 33(c2), a confrontation animation corresponding to the confrontation state, in which the lord and the enemy swordsman face each other, is displayed, and a character display of "confrontation effect" is displayed on the upper right of the display screen. Has been done. Note that the confrontation effect here is also a false confrontation effect. In this FIG. 33(c2) as well, the effect state has shifted from the non-AT state to the confrontation state. When transitioning to the confrontation state, the character display area 1571 disappears and all face images of each character also disappear. On the other hand, the effect information display area 1572 is displayed, and the point number display PN has already increased by 4 points to "059". That is, the point number display PN is the same value as the count value of the second P counter.

Just before FIG. 33(c3), the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and in FIG. 33(c3), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 22 points to 81. The count value of the second P counter has also increased to 81. However, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 33(c3) remains "059". Also in this example, the second addition display Tad appears on the effect information display area 1572 side as soon as the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed. The second addition amount display Tad shown in FIG. 33(c3) is a total value (display of "+22") obtained by doubling 1 point for the lord's and 10 points for the princess for the nin.

Also in this example, the animation in which the second addition display Tad moves is cut, and in FIG. 33(c4), the second addition display Tad disappears and the point number display PN indicates the count of the second P counter. It is “081” which represents the same value as the value. That is, the point number display PN is changed to a display in which 22 points are added.

FIG. 34 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a true confrontation effect is performed and a transition is made to the pseudo BB state and the AT state.

In FIG. 34(1), it is in the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and the old man are in the palace in the castle. Further, in the character display area 1571 in FIG. 34(1), a face image tp of the character of the lord, which is the default character, is displayed. In addition, neither count value of the first lap counter nor count value of the second lap counter (not shown) is 1, and the lap count display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of "first lap". Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 55 and the count value of the second P counter is also 55, and "055" is displayed as the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572.

Subsequently, the symbol combination of the lost symbols is stopped and displayed. Also in this example, the chance point mode is set, and the number of true confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 34(2), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter each increase by 1 point to 56. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34(2), an animation in which the lord holds a sword corresponding to the pre-confrontation state is displayed, and the text "Pre-confrontation production" is displayed on the upper right of the display screen. ing. In FIG. 34(2), the effect state is changed from the non-AT state to the pre-confrontation state. When transitioning to the confrontation omen state, both the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 have disappeared. In this way, when the state shifts from the default state (non-AT state), a certain state in which only the character display area 1571 of the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 disappears (the second state which is the confrontation state) ) And a state in which both the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 disappear (the first state, which is a pre-confrontation state).

Even in the first game after the transition to the pre-confrontation state, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and in FIG. 34(3), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter each increase by 1 point to 57. ing. However, since the effect information display area 1572 has disappeared, the player is not notified that the points have been increased.

The lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed in the second game after the transition to the confrontation state, and in this example, when the two games are exhausted after the transition to the confrontation state, the state shifts to the confrontation state. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34(4), a confrontation animation corresponding to the confrontation state, in which the lord and the enemy swordsman face each other, is displayed, and a character display of "confrontation effect" is displayed on the upper right of the display screen. Has been done. Note that the confrontation effect here is a true confrontation effect. The battle animation includes a battle scene and a win/loss scene, and the battle scene is displayed on the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34(4). In the confrontation scene in the confrontation state started via the pre-confrontation state, that is, in the confrontation scene in the true confrontation state, not only the character display area 1571 but also the effect information display area 1572 remains disappeared. In this way, even in a certain scene (confrontation scene) in the same second state (confrontation state), there are effects depending on whether the transition is made via the first state (preliminary confrontation state) or not. The display/non-display of the information display area 1572 is different. That is, when the state changes to the second state (confrontation state) via the first state (preliminary state of confrontation), the number of points or the number of points and the number of points in a certain scene (confrontation scene) in the second state When the number of times is displayed and the second state (confrontation state) is entered without passing through the first state (preliminary confrontation state), the number of points in the certain scene (confrontation scene) in the second state or The number of points and the number of laps are not displayed. However, whether or not the number of points or the number of points and the number of laps are displayed/hidden is not distinguished by whether or not the first state is passed, but whether or not the first state is passed Alternatively, in a certain scene in the second state, the number of points or the number of points and the number of laps may not be displayed, or may be displayed in reverse. Further, in FIG. 34(4), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are each increased by 1 point to 58.

Even in the first game after shifting to this confrontation state, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and in FIG. 34(5), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter each increase by 1 point to 59. .. The confrontation scene in the confrontation animation is still displayed on the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34(5). Eventually, the second game is started after shifting to the confrontation state, and a certain symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this example, the state shifts after two games have been consumed after shifting to the confrontation state. That is, the pseudo BB state, the AT state, or the non-AT state is set. When transitioning to the pseudo BB state or the AT state, the scene in which the lord has won is displayed as the winning and losing scene following the confrontation scene. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34(6), the scene where the lord has won is displayed. In the scene where the lord has won, the character display area 1571 is still disappearing, but the display of the effect information display area 1572 is restored. In FIG. 34(6), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter each further increase by 1 point to 60, and the point number display PN in the recreated effect information display area 1572 is the count of the second P counter. It is "060" which represents the same value as the value. Since the point number display PN (see FIG. 34(1)) immediately before the effect information display area 1572 disappears is "055", it means that the number of points is increased by 5 points at a stretch.

After the second game after the transition to the confrontation state, when the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 2 or the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 3 (pseudo BB symbol) shown in FIG. To the pseudo BB state. In other words, if the pseudo BB symbols are aligned in the second game after transitioning to the confrontation state, the scene where the lord has won is displayed and the state transitions to the pseudo BB state, but the pseudo BB symbols are aligned in the second game. Even if it is not done, it will be carried over to the next game. If the pseudo BB symbols are not aligned in the second game, they may not be carried over to the next and subsequent games, and a scene in which the lord is defeated may be displayed and the non-AT state may be set. Further, the pseudo BB symbol may be a symbol which is always aligned at once by the pull-in control of the reels 110 to 112.

In FIG. 34(7a), the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 2 is stopped and displayed, the state shifts to the pseudo BB1 state, and the hall corresponding to the pseudo BB state is raised on the display screen of the effect image display device 157. Animation is displayed. Further, the number of medals acquired in the pseudo BB state is displayed at the lower right of the display screen. However, in the pseudo BB state, the effect information display area 1572 disappears again, and neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Also in the pseudo BB state, as in the AT state, the operation condition notification effect is executed, and the operation sequence of "2 3 1" is notified on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34(7a). The correct operation sequence is to perform the first stop with the right stop button 139, the second stop with the left stop button 137, and the third stop with the middle stop button 138. In accordance with the operation condition notification, the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated in the correct operation sequence, the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and the medals are paid out. However, in the pseudo BB state, points are not increased even if any symbol combination is stopped and displayed. The pseudo BB1 state shifts to the CZ state when 20 games are consumed. In FIG. 34(8a), the symbols of the 20th game are stopped, and the effect image display device 157 is performing the end effect in the pseudo BB state. Even when the symbols of the 20th game are stopped, the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (8a) shows that the number of medals acquired in the pseudo BB1 state this time is 100. 34(8a), neither the count value of the first P counter nor the count value of the second P counter has changed from the start of the pseudo BB state and remains at 60. It is shown.

In FIG. 34(9a), the animation transitions to the CZ state, and the display image of the effect image display device 157 displays an animation of the lord running in the wilderness, corresponding to the CZ state. Further, the number of games remaining until the transition to the non-AT state is displayed at the lower right of the display screen. Even in the CZ state, neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed.

In this example, neither the AT lottery is won, the pseudo BB lottery is won, and the pseudo BB symbol is not stopped and displayed, and the final game corresponding to the 32nd game is started after the CZ state is started. On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34(10a), it is displayed that the number of remaining games until the shift to the non-AT state is zero. Further, FIG. 34(10a) also shows that the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter have not changed since the start of the pseudo BB state and remain at 60.

In the same figure (11a) following FIG. 34 (10a), the CZ state is shifted to the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 shows an animation in which the lord and grandfather are in the palace in the castle, corresponding to the non-AT state. It is displayed. When shifting from the CZ state to the non-AT state, the first P counter is reset, and the count value of the first P counter is 0 and the count value of the second P counter is also 0, as shown in FIG. 34(11a). Further, the count value of the first revolution counter (not shown) is also reset to 0, and the count value of the second revolution counter is also 0. In the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34(11a), the display of the character display area 1571 and the display of the effect information display area 1572 are restored, and the face of the lord's character is displayed in the character display area 1571. One image tp is displayed, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display showing 0, and the number of laps display LN is also a display showing the 0th lap.

In the case of winning the AT lottery, when two games are exhausted after shifting to the confrontation state, the scene in which the lord has won is displayed and the state shifts to the AT state. In FIG. 34(7b), the state transitions to the AT state, and the display of the effect image display device 157 starts to display an animation corresponding to the AT state, in which the lord is performing cherry blossom viewing with the castle behind. There is. In the lower right of the display screen, the cumulative number of medals that have been acquired since the AT state was started is displayed, and in the lower left, the total number of AT games that have been consumed (total 0G (game)) and the remaining AT games. The number (remaining 10G) is displayed. However, even in the AT state, the effect information display area 1572 disappears again, and neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Also, on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34(7b), the operation condition notification effect is executed, the operation sequence of "1 3 2" is displayed, and the left stop button 137 is used to perform the first stop. The correct operation sequence is to perform the second stop with the right stop button 139 and the third stop with the middle stop button 138. In accordance with the operation condition notification, the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated in the correct operation sequence, the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and the medals are paid out. However, even in the AT state, points are not increased even if any symbol combination is stopped and displayed. The AT state shifts to the CZ state when all the given AT game numbers (navigation times) are exhausted. In FIG. 34(8b), the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated in the correct operation order in accordance with the last operation condition notification, and the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In the effect image display device 157, the AT state end effect is displayed. Has been done. In the finish production of the AT state, the production image display device 157 displays the total number of AT games that have been exhausted (total 10 G (game)) and the cumulative number of medals (70 gained) that have been acquired since the AT state was started. ing. Further, FIG. 34(8b) shows that the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter have not changed from the start of the AT state and remain at 60.

In FIG. 34(9b), the state shifts to the CZ state, and in FIG. 34(10b), the final game corresponding to the 32nd game has started since the CZ state was started. Then, in FIG. 34(11b), the state is changed to the non-AT state. Since these FIG. 34 (9b) to FIG. 34 (11b) are the same as the above-described FIG. 9 (a) to FIG. 11 (11a), description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 35: is a figure which shows the example which loses by a confrontation production and transfers to a non-AT state.

The example shown on the left side of FIG. 35 is an example of defeating the true confrontation effect and shifting to the non-AT state. Hereinafter, the description will focus on the differences from the example shown in FIG. 34, and redundant description will be omitted.

FIG. 35(a1) shows the non-AT state as in FIG. 34(1), in which the count value of the first P counter is 55 and the count value of the second P counter is also 55. Is displayed, and “055” is displayed as the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572.

Subsequently, the symbol combination of the lost symbols is stopped and displayed. In this example, the chance point mode is set, and the number of confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 35(a2), the effect state shifts from the non-AT state to the pre-confrontation state. FIG. 35(a2) to FIG. 35(a3) show the same confrontation signs as in FIG. 34(2) to FIG. 34(3). Further, in FIG. 35(a4), similarly to FIG. 34(4), the state shifts to the confrontation state, and FIGS. 35(a4) to (a5) are the same as in FIGS. 34(4) to 34(5). On the effect image display device 157, the confrontation scene of the confrontation animation is displayed. In this example as well, when two games are exhausted after shifting to the confrontation state, the state shifts to the pseudo BB state or the AT state as described with reference to FIG. Alternatively, it shifts to the non-AT state. When transitioning to the non-AT state, a scene in which the lord is defeated is displayed as a winning/losing scene following the confrontation scene. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 35(a6), the scene where the lord is defeated is displayed. In the scene where the lord is defeated in the confrontation animation in the true confrontation effect, the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 are still disappearing. That is, unlike the scene in which the lord has won, the display in the effect information display area 1572 is not restored.

In FIG. 35(a7), the true confrontation state is shifted to the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays again the animation corresponding to the non-AT state, in which the lord and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. When the true confrontation state shifts to the non-AT state, that is, when the true confrontation is lost and the state shifts to the non-AT state, the first P counter is reset, but the first lap counter is not reset, and 1 is added. As shown in FIG. 35(a7), the count value of the first P counter is 0, the count value of the second P counter is 0, and the point number display PN on the effect image display device 157 is also a display showing 0. On the other hand, although the count values of the first lap counter and the second lap counter are both not shown, both are 2, and the lap count display LN on the effect image display device 157 is also the “second lap”. In addition, the display of the character display area 1571 is restored, and one face image tp of the lord's character, which is the default character, is displayed therein.

When the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed after shifting to the non-AT state, the count value of the first P counter is incremented by 1 to 1 as shown in FIG. 35(a8), and the count of the second P counter is counted. The value also becomes 1, and the point number display PN on the effect image display device 157 is also a display showing 1. The addition of the point number PN is performed using the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of "+1") and the second addition display ad2 ("+1" described with reference to FIGS. 30(a2) to (a4). The display is performed by animations, but those animations are omitted here. Furthermore, a zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 in the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 35(a8). The zone display here is represented by cross-hatching, and the zone display is displayed in a portion of the effect information display area 1572 excluding the number of laps display LN. This zone display informs that the number of true confrontation points or the number of false confrontation points is unknown, but it is highly likely that either of the confrontation points will be reached. Note that the count values of the first lap counter and the second lap counter (not shown) remain at 2, and the lap count display LN in the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 35(a8) remains at the "second lap". is there.

The example shown on the right side of FIG. 35 is an example of defeating a false confrontation effect and shifting to the non-AT state. Hereinafter, the description will be focused on the differences from the example shown in the center of FIG. 33, and redundant description may be omitted.

In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 35(b1), in addition to the face image tp of the character of Tonosama, which is the default character, the face image jp of the grandfather character is displayed, and a total of two face images are displayed. .. 35(b1) is also in the non-AT state, and the count value of the first P counter is 55 and the count value of the second P counter is also 55 in FIG. 35(b1). "055" is displayed as the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572.

Subsequently, the symbol combination of the lost symbols is stopped and displayed. In this example, the chance point mode is set, and the number of false confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 35(b2), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 2 points to 57. The count value of the second P counter has also increased to 57. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 35(b2), a confrontation animation corresponding to the confrontation state in which the lord and the enemy swordsman face each other is displayed. Note that the confrontation effect here is also a false confrontation effect. Further, when the game is transitioned to the confrontation state, the character display area 1571 disappears, and the face image tp of the lord's character and the face image jp of the grandfather character disappear. On the other hand, the effect information display area 1572 is displayed, and the point number display PN has already increased by 2 points to "057". That is, the point number display PN is the same value as the count value of the second P counter. Although the face image tp of the lord's character and the face image jp of the old character have disappeared, the increased 2 points are the added value (+1) of the lord's character and the added value (+1) of the old character. Is the total value of.

In addition, just before FIG. 35(b3), the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and in the grandfather elimination lottery process of step S132f shown in FIG. 13, it is elected to erase the face image jp of the grandfather character. Here, the face image jp of the grandpa character was hidden together with the face image tp of the lord's character due to the disappearance of the character display area 1571. The value for the addition of was added. However, since the player has won the grandfather elimination lottery process, the value corresponding to the addition of the grandfather's character cannot be added in the subsequent point addition.

In FIG. 35(b3), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 1 point to 58. The count value of the second P counter has also increased to 58. Furthermore, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 is also "058". The increment of 1 point here is the value added to the lord's character.

In this example, when two games are exhausted after the game is transferred to the confrontation state, the game is transferred to the non-AT state. When transitioning to the non-AT state, a scene in which the lord is defeated is displayed as a winning/losing scene following the confrontation scene. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 35(b4), the scene where the lord is defeated is displayed. In the scene in which the lord has been defeated in the confrontation animation in the fake confrontation effect, the character display area 1571 is still disappeared, but the display in the effect information display area 1572 is restored.

Further, immediately before FIG. 35(b4), the watermelon symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and in the ninja additional lottery process of step S132p shown in FIG. 13, it is elected to additionally display the face image sp of the shinobi character. Here, since the face image of each character disappears due to the disappearance of the character display area 1571, the face image sp of the ninja character is also hidden, but the addition of points corresponds to the addition of the ninja character. The value is added. In FIG. 35(b4), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 20 points to 78. Also, the count value of the second P counter is increased to 78. Further, the point number display PN in the recreated effect information display area 1572 is also "078". The increase of 20 points here is a value that the added value of the lord's character is as high as 10 points because the watermelon symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and it is a value obtained by doubling 10 points. is there.

Note that the point number display PN in FIG. 35(b2) is increased by 2 points, the point number display PN in FIG. 35(b3) is increased by 1 point, and the point number display PN in FIG. 35(b4) is increased by 20 points. The animation may be performed by the second addition display Tad shown in FIG. 33(b3). Alternatively, when the number of characters is changed (erased or increased), the player does not know the change in the number of characters because the character is not displayed, and the animation of the second addition display Tad is displayed. Since the person may be confused on the contrary, the animation of the second addition display Tad may not be displayed.

In FIG. 35(b5), the transition from the false confrontation state to the non-AT state is performed, and the effect image display device 157 displays again the animation in which the lord and grandfather are in the palace in the castle corresponding to the non-AT state. When shifting from the false confrontation state to the non-AT state, that is, when defeating the false confrontation and shifting to the non-AT state, neither the first P counter nor the first lap counter is reset, and the number of points and the number of laps up to that point are inherited. As shown in FIG. 35(b5), the count value of the first P counter is 078, the count value of the second P counter is 078, and the point number display PN on the effect image display device 157 is also 078. Although not shown, the count values of the first lap counter and the second lap counter are both 1, and the lap count display LN on the effect image display device 157 is also “first lap”. Further, the display of the character display area 1571 is restored, and in addition to the face image tp of the character of Tonosama, which is the default character, it was supposed that it was additionally displayed by winning in the Shinobi additional lottery process. The face image sp of the character is also displayed.

FIG. 36 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the first P counter is reset.

The example shown on the left side of FIG. 36 is an example when the setting is changed.

The example shown on the left side of FIG. 36 is an example in the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 continuously displays the animation in which the lord and grandfather are in the palace in the castle corresponding to the non-AT state. .. Further, in the character display area 1571 in FIG. 36(a1), in addition to the face image tp of the character of the lord, which is the default character, the face image hp of the princess character and the face image jp of the grandpa character are displayed. There is. In addition, neither count value of the first lap counter nor count value of the second lap counter, which is not shown, is 2, and the lap count display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of "second lap". Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 115 and the count value of the second P counter is also 115, and “115” is displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572. Further, zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 in the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 36(a1). The zone display here is also represented by cross-hatching as in FIG. 35(a8), and the zone display is displayed in the portion of the effect information display area 1572 excluding the number of laps display LN.

In the state shown in FIG. 36(a1), the front door 102 is opened, the power is temporarily cut off, the setting change switch (not shown) is operated, and then the power is turned on (power is restored).

FIG. 36(a2) is a diagram showing a state after the setting is changed. As shown in FIG. 36(a2), after the setting is changed, the count value of the first P counter is reset to 0, the count value of the second P counter is also 0, and the number of points in the effect information display area 1572 is set. "000" is displayed in the display PN. Also, here, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter, which are not shown, are 0, and the lap count display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of "0th lap". Note that after the setting is changed, the count value of the first P counter does not become 0, but a predetermined value other than 0 is set, or a value based on the count value before the setting change (for example, a value obtained by halving 115). (57)) of the integer part of, the value selected by lottery from a plurality of values may be set, or the value of the integer part of the value obtained by halving the selected value may be set. The same applies to the count value of the first circulation counter. Further, in the character display area 1571, the face image hp of the princess character and the face image jp of the grandfather character disappear, and one face image tp of the lord's character, which is the default character, is displayed.

In the first game after the setting change is completed, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. That is, in the non-AT state, this corresponds to the stop of the lost design when the number of turns is 0 and the number of points is also 0. As described above, the point increase condition in step S134a shown in FIG. 16A is not satisfied when the lost symbol is stopped when the number of laps is 0 and the number of points is 0 in the non-AT state. As shown in FIG. 36(a3), the count value of the first P counter remains 0 and the count value of the second P counter also remains 0 even after the stop of the lost symbols, and the effect information display The point number display PN in the area 1572 also keeps displaying “000”. Also, here, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter, which are not shown, remain 0, and the lap count display LN in the effect information display area 1572 remains the "0th lap" display. Is.

Then, in the next game, the replay symbol combination is stopped and displayed, the above point increasing condition is satisfied, and one point is won in the lottery for point distribution. As shown in FIG. 36(a4), the count value of the first P counter is 001, and the count value of the second P counter is also 001. Also, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is changed from the display of “000” to the display of “001”. In addition, the addition of the point number display PN is performed by using the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of "+1") and the second addition display ad2 (described with reference to FIGS. 30(a2) to (a4). "+1" display) Animation is performed, but those animations are omitted here. Furthermore, since the point number display PN is changed to the display of “001”, the zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572. Further, in the non-AT state, when the number of laps is 0 and the number of points is also 0, when the first prize is won except the loss, 1 is added to the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter is also 1, the number of laps display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is also changed to the display of “first lap”.

Subsequently, in the next game, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and the count value of the first P counter is incremented by 1 to 002 as shown in FIG. 36(a5), and the count value of the second P counter is also the same. It is 002. Also, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is changed from the display of "001" to the display of "002". A zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572.

The example shown on the right side of FIG. 36 is an example when the CZ state is shifted to the non-AT state.

In FIG. 36(b1), the CZ state ends. As shown in FIG. 36(a2), the count value of the first P counter at the end of the CZ state is 115, and the count value of the second P counter is also 115. In the CZ state, the effect information display area 1572 is not displayed, and the point number display PN is not displayed either. Further, although not shown here, both the count value of the first revolution counter and the count value of the second revolution counter are 2, but the revolution number display LN is not displayed either.

In FIG. 36(b2), the non-AT state is entered, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state, in which the lord and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. Immediately after shifting from the CZ state to the non-AT state, the count value of the first P counter is reset to 0, and the count value of the second P counter is also 0, which is displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572. "000" is displayed. Also, here, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter, which are not shown, are 0, and the lap count display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of "0th lap". Immediately after shifting from the CZ state to the non-AT state, the count value of the first P counter does not become 0, but a predetermined value other than 0 is set, or a value based on the count value before the setting change (for example, , The value of the integer part of the value obtained by halving 115 (57)) is set, or the value selected by lottery from multiple values is set, or the value of the integer part of the value obtained by halving the selected value. May be set. The same applies to the count value of the first circulation counter. Further, in the character display area 1571, one face image tp of the lord's character, which is the default character, is displayed.

In the first game after shifting to the non-AT state, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. That is, in the non-AT state, this corresponds to the stop of the lost design when the number of turns is 0 and the number of points is also 0. Again, the point increase condition in step S134a shown in FIG. 16A is not satisfied, and as shown in FIG. 36B3, the count value of the first P counter remains 0 even after the stop of the lost symbol. The count value of the second P counter also remains 0, and the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 also keeps displaying “000”. Also, here, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter, which are not shown, remain 0, and the lap count display LN in the effect information display area 1572 remains the "0th lap" display. Is.

Then, in the next game, the replay symbol combination is stopped and displayed, the above point increasing condition is satisfied, and one point is won in the lottery for point distribution. As shown in FIG. 36(b4), the count value of the first P counter is 001, and the count value of the second P counter is also 001. Also, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is changed from the display of “000” to the display of “001”. In addition, the addition of the point number display PN is performed by using the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of "+1") and the second addition display ad2 (described with reference to FIGS. 30(a2) to (a4). "+1" display) Animation is performed, but those animations are omitted here. Furthermore, since the point number display PN is changed to the display of “001”, the zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572. Further, in the non-AT state, when the number of laps is 0 and the number of points is also 0, when the first prize is won except the loss, 1 is added to the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter is also 1, the number of laps display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is also changed to the display of “first lap”.

FIG. 37 is a diagram illustrating an example in which power is restored after power failure. In the examples shown in FIG. 37, all are in the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the lord and grandfather are in the palace in the castle.

The example shown on the left side of FIG. 37 is an example in which power is cut off and power is restored while the zone display is not displayed.

In the character display area 1571 shown in FIG. 37(a1), one face image tp of the lord's character, which is the default character, is displayed. In addition, neither count value of the first lap counter nor count value of the second lap counter, which is not shown, is 2, and the lap count display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of "second lap". Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 115 and the count value of the second P counter is also 115, and “115” is displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572. Note that no zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 in the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 37(a1).

In the state shown in FIG. 37(a1), power is cut off, but power is restored immediately. The same applies when the power is turned off in the state shown in FIG. 37(a1) and then the power is turned on the next morning.

As shown in FIG. 37(a2), the count value of the first P counter after power recovery is 115, which is the same as the count value at the time of power interruption, but the count value of the second P counter is 0, and The point number display PN in the display area 1572 also displays “000”. Further, the count value of the first lap counter (not shown) is 2, which is the same as the count value at the time of power interruption, but the count value of the second lap counter is 0, and the lap count display LN is also "0th lap". Is displayed.

In the first game after the power is restored, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. That is, the value of the first P counter is not 0 in the non-AT state, and the loss symbol is stopped when the first lap counter value is not 0. Therefore, the point increasing condition in step S134a shown in FIG. 16A is satisfied, and as shown in FIG. 37A3, the count value of the first P counter is increased by 1 to be 156. However, as described above, when the power is restored and the power is restored, the point increase command for each character is not transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 until a winning combination other than the loss is won. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 37(a3), the count value of the second P counter remains 0, the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 is still displaying “000”, and is increased. It will not be done.

In the second game after the power is restored, the replay symbol combination is stopped and displayed. As shown in FIG. 37(a4), 1 is further added to the count value of the first P counter to be 157. In addition, in the step S134(c) shown in FIG. 16(a), the command to increase the point of the lord's character, which indicates that the winning of the winning combination other than the loss is added, is prepared, and the step S211 shown in FIG. 10 is performed. Is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process. As a result, the count value of the second P counter becomes 1 by adding 1 to the value of 0 so far, and "001" is also displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 37(a4). Has been done. In addition, the addition of the point number display PN is performed by using the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of "+1") and the second addition display ad2 (described with reference to FIGS. 30(a2) to (a4). "+1" display) Animation is performed, but those animations are omitted here. Furthermore, since the point number display PN is changed to the display of “001”, the zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572.

Also regarding the number of laps, it is included that the value of 1 is added to the point increase command by winning the first prize other than the loss after the power is cut off and the power is restored. The count value also becomes 1 by adding 1 to the value of 0 so far, and "1st lap" is displayed also in the number-of-laps display LN of the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 37(a4).

The example shown in the center of FIG. 37 is an example in which power is cut off and power is restored while the zone display is displayed. Hereinafter, the difference from the example shown on the left side of FIG. 37 will be mainly described.

In the character display area 1571 shown in FIG. 37(b1), one face image tp of the lord's character, which is the default character, is displayed. In addition, neither count value of the first lap counter nor count value of the second lap counter, which is not shown, is 2, and the lap count display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of "second lap". Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 35 and the count value of the second P counter is also 35, and “35” is displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572. In addition, since the count value of the second P counter is 35, the cross-hatched zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572.

In the state shown in FIG. 37(b1), the power is cut off, but the power is restored immediately. The same applies when the power is turned off in the state shown in FIG. 37(b1) and then the power is turned on the next morning.

As shown in FIG. 37(b2), the count value of the first P counter after power recovery is the same as the count value at the time of power interruption, but the count value of the second P counter is 0, and the effect information The point number display PN in the display area 1572 also displays “000”. Furthermore, since the count value of the second P counter is 0, the cross-hatched zone display is not displayed in the effect information display area 1572. Further, the count value of the first lap counter (not shown) is the same as the count value at the time of power interruption, but the count value of the second P counter is 0, and the lap count display LN is also “0th lap”. Is displayed.

In the first game after the power is restored, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, but the point increasing condition in step S134a shown in FIG. 16(a) is satisfied, and as shown in FIG. 37(b3). , 1 has been added to the count value of the first P counter to be 36. However, also here, since the symbol combination of the lost symbols is stopped and displayed, the point increase command is not transmitted to the first sub control unit 400, and the count value of the second P counter remains 0 as shown in FIG. 37(b3). Therefore, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 also remains “000”.

In the second game after the power is restored, the replay symbol combination is stopped and displayed. As shown in FIG. 37(b4), 1 is further added to the count value of the first P counter to be 37. In addition, by winning a winning combination other than lose, the point increase command is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400, the count value of the second P counter becomes 1, and the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 37(b4) is displayed. The point number display PN is also "001". It should be noted that the addition of the point number display PN here is also performed with the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of "+1") and the second addition as described with reference to FIGS. 30(a2) to (a4). Display ad2 (display of "+1") animation is performed, but those animations are omitted here. Furthermore, since the point number display PN is changed to the display of “001”, the zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572.

Regarding the number of laps, the count value of the second lap counter (not shown) becomes 1 by winning the first prize other than the loss, and the lap count display LN of the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 37(b4) is also displayed. "First lap" is displayed.

After this, a plurality of games are digested in the state where one face image tp of the lord's character, which is the default character, is displayed in the character display area 1571, and the count of the first P counter is counted as shown in FIG. 37(b5). The value becomes 101, and the count value of the second P counter becomes 65. Looking at the presence or absence of the zone display shown in FIG. 27C, if the count value is 101, the zone display should be displayed, but the presence or absence of the zone display is determined by the count value of the second P counter. In the state of FIG. 37(b5), since the count value of the second P counter is 65, the zone display is not displayed, and the zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 37(b)5. Absent.

The example shown in the upper half on the right side of FIG. 37 is an example in which power is cut off and restored while two face images of the character are displayed. Hereinafter, the description will be focused on the differences from the example shown on the left side of FIG. 37, and redundant description will be omitted.

In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 37(c1), in addition to the face image tp of the lord's character which is the default character, the face image hp of the princess character is displayed, and a total of two face images are displayed. As described in the description of FIG. 13, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with an additional flag for each character other than the default character, the lord. In the state of FIG. 37(c1), the princess addition flag is set to ON.

In the state shown in FIG. 37(c1), power is cut off, but power is restored immediately. The same applies when the power is turned off in the state shown in FIG. 37(c1) and then the power is turned on the next morning.

As shown in FIG. 37(c2), in the character display area 1571 after power recovery, only the face image tp of the character of Tonosama, which is the default character, is displayed, and the face of the princess character displayed at the time of power interruption. The image hp is not displayed. However, the princess addition flag prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is set to ON. Also, as shown in FIG. 37(c2), the count value of the first P counter after power recovery is 115, which is the same as the count value at the time of power interruption, but the count value of the second P counter is 0, The point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 also displays “000”.

In the first game after the power recovery, the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and as shown in FIG. 37(c3), the count value of the first P counter is obtained by adding 11 to the value of 115 so far. It is 126. Here, the additional 11 points is the sum of 1 point for the lord and 10 points for the princess. On the other hand, as for the count value of the second P counter, only 1 point for the master is added to the value of 0 so far. As described above, with respect to characters other than the default character, which is Tonosama, as described above, step S352b and step S352c shown in FIG. 27A are executed only for the characters for which the additional flag is set to ON. It depends. That is, since the princess addition flag has been set to off due to the power failure and restoration, in step S352b and step S352c, even if the point increase command for the princess character is transmitted, it is not processed and the princess character's character Since only the point increase command is processed, only one point for the customer is added to the count value of the second P counter. In the number-of-points display PN of the effect information display area 1572 in FIG. 37(c3), 1 point is added according to the count value of the second P counter and becomes “001”. In addition, since the count value of the second P counter is 1, the cross-hatched zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 37(c3).

It should be noted that the addition of the point number display PN here is also performed with the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of "+1") and the second addition as described with reference to FIGS. 30(a2) to (a4). Display ad2 (display of "+1") animation is performed, but those animations are omitted here.

The example shown in the lower half of the right side of FIG. 37 is an example in which power is cut off and restored while three face images of the character are displayed. Hereinafter, description will be made focusing on differences from the example shown in the upper right half of FIG. 37, and redundant description may be omitted.

In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 37(d1), in addition to the face image tp of the character of Tonosama, which is the default character, the face image hp of the princess character and the face image sp of the Shinobu character are displayed, for a total of three. The face image is displayed.

In the state shown in FIG. 37(d1), power is cut off, but power is restored immediately. The same applies when the power is turned off in the state shown in FIG. 37(d1) and then the power is turned on the next morning.

As shown in FIG. 37(d2), only the face image tp of the character of Tonosama, which is the default character, is displayed in the character display area 1571 after power recovery, and the face of the princess character displayed at the time of power interruption. The image hp and the face image sp of the Shinobu character are not displayed. However, the princess addition flag and the shinobi addition flag prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 are set to ON. Also, as shown in FIG. 37(d2), the count value of the first P counter after power recovery is 115, which is the same as the count value at the time of power interruption, but the count value of the second P counter is 0, The point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 also displays “000”.

In the first game after the power recovery, the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and as shown in FIG. 37(d3), the count value of the first P counter is obtained by adding 22 to the value of 115 so far. It is 137. Here, the additional 22 points is the value obtained by doubling 1 point for the lord and 10 points for the princess for the shinobi. On the other hand, as for the count value of the second P counter, only 1 point for the master is added to the value of 0 so far. In the number-of-points display PN of the effect information display area 1572 in FIG. 37(d3), 1 point is added according to the count value of the second P counter and becomes “001”. In addition, since the count value of the second P counter is 1, the cross-hatched zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 37(c3).

It should be noted that the addition of the point number display PN here is also performed with the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of "+1") and the second addition as described with reference to FIGS. 30(a2) to (a4). Display ad2 (display of "+1") animation is performed, but those animations are omitted here.

FIG. 38 is a diagram showing an example in which the count value of the second P counter matches the count value of the first P counter after power failure and power recovery.

38(1) to 38(4) are the same as FIGS. 37(a1) to 37(a4), except that the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are different. Therefore, the description is omitted. In addition, in FIG. 38(5) and subsequent figures, the description will be centered on the points of difference from the example shown in FIG. 34, and redundant description will be omitted.

In this example, the number of true confrontation points is set to 138 points. Therefore, in the next game, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and when the count value of the first P counter is increased by 1 point to 138, the effect state shifts to the confrontation omen state. However, as shown in FIG. 38(4), the value of the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is 001, and the player who sees this value thinks that it has shifted to the pre-confrontation effect with a small number of points. The illusion is that the pull is strong. As a result, the interest of the player in the game may be increased.

On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 38(5), an animation in which the lord holds a sword corresponding to the pre-confrontation state is displayed, and the text "Preconfrontation effect" is displayed in the upper right of the display screen. ing. Further, when the state shifts to the pre-confrontation state, both the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 have disappeared. In FIG. 38(5), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter each increase by 1 point, the count value of the first P counter is 138, and the count value of the second P counter is 2.

In the first game after the transition to the omen state, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and in FIG. 38(6), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter each further increase by 1 point, The count value of the 1P counter is 139, and the count value of the second P counter is 3.

The lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed in the second game after the transition to the confrontation state, and in this example, when the two games are exhausted after the transition to the confrontation state, the state shifts to the confrontation state. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 38(7), a confrontation animation corresponding to the confrontation state, in which the lord and the enemy swordsman face each other, is displayed, and a character display of "confrontation effect" is displayed on the upper right of the display screen. Has been done. Note that the confrontation effect here is a true confrontation effect. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 38(7), the confrontation scene of the confrontation animation is displayed. In FIG. 38(7), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter each increase by 1 point, the count value of the first P counter is 140, and the count value of the second P counter is 4.

Even in the first game after the transition to the confrontation state, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and in FIG. 38(8), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter each increase by 1 point, and the first P counter Is 141, and the count value of the second P counter is 5. Eventually, the second game is started after shifting to the confrontation state, and the symbol combination (pseudo BB symbol) of the re-gaming combination 2 which is the replay symbol is stopped and displayed.

On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 38(9), the scene where the lord has won is displayed. In the pre-confrontation state and the true confrontation state, the effect information display area 1572 as well as the character display area 1571 has disappeared, but in the scene where the lord has won, the display in the effect information display area 1572 is restored. The character display area 1571 is still disappearing. In FIG. 38(9), the count value of the first P counter is further increased by 1 point, and the count value of the first P counter is 142. Further, since the pseudo BB symbol is stopped and displayed, in step S196e shown in FIG. 24, preparation for transmission of the first P counter value command including the count value (here, 142) of the first P counter is performed, and the first P The counter value command is transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process of step S211 shown in FIG. As a result, in FIG. 38(9), the count value of the second P counter also becomes 142, which is the same as the count value of the first P counter, and “142” is also displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572. .. The player was informed of a different value (false value) after power recovery, but is informed of the count value (true value) of the first P counter. In addition, since the count value of the second P counter is 142, a zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572. Further, the first P counter value command also includes the value of the first revolution command, and both the count value of the first revolution counter and the count value of the second revolution counter, which are not shown, are 2. The number of laps display LN in the display area 1572 is a display of "second lap".

Note that, here, the count value of the first P counter is displayed by displaying the scene where the lord has won, that is, confirming the transition to the pseudo BB state (step S193(i) shown in FIG. 22, step S196(c) shown in FIG. 24). Although the (true value) is reported, the count value (true value) of the first P counter is also confirmed by the confirmation of the transition to the AT state (step S193(m) shown in FIG. 22, step S196(g) shown in FIG. 24). Value) is notified. Alternatively, the count value (true value) of the first P counter may be notified by winning a specific winning combination (for example, a chance).

In FIG. 38(10), the state transitions to the pseudo BB1 state, and the animation in which the hall is raised is displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157, which corresponds to the pseudo BB state. In the pseudo BB state, the effect information display area 1572 disappears again, and neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. On the other hand, the effect of the operation condition notification is executed, and the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated in the correct operation order in accordance with the operation condition notification. As a result, the symbol combination of the bell is stopped and displayed, and the medals are paid out. The pseudo BB1 state shifts to the CZ state when 20 games are consumed. In FIG. 38(11), the symbols of the 20th game are stopped, and the effect image display device 157 is performing the end effect of the pseudo BB state. In addition, FIG. 38(11) shows that the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter have not changed since the scene in which the lord has won is displayed, and remain at 142. Has been done.

In FIG. 38 (12), the animation transitioning to the CZ state, and the animation of the lord running in the wilderness, corresponding to the CZ state, is displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157. Even in the CZ state, neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed.

Also in this example, neither winning the AT lottery nor winning the pseudo BB lottery and stopping displaying the pseudo BB symbol, the final game corresponding to the 32nd game from the start of the CZ state is started, On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 38(13), it is displayed that the number of remaining games before shifting to the non-AT state is zero. 38(13a) also shows that the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter have not changed and remain at 142.

In FIG. 38 (14) following FIG. 38 (13 ), the CZ state is shifted to the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 shows an animation in which the lord and grandfather are in the palace in the castle, corresponding to the non-AT state. It is displayed. When shifting from the CZ state to the non-AT state, the first P counter is reset, and the count value of the first P counter is 0 and the count value of the second P counter is also 0, as shown in FIG. 38(14). Further, the count value of the first revolution counter (not shown) is also reset to 0, and the count value of the second revolution counter is also 0. In the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34(11a), the display of the character display area 1571 and the display of the effect information display area 1572 are restored, and the face of the lord's character is displayed in the character display area 1571. One image tp is displayed, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display showing 0, and the number of laps display LN is also a display showing the 0th lap.

As described above, when the CZ state shifts to the non-AT state, the first P counter is reset and the count value of the first P counter becomes 0. However, at the time of shifting to the confrontation warning state (FIG. 38(5)). , The first P counter may be reset. By doing so, the player may be able to know the increase points from the pre-confrontation state to the confrontation state. In addition, the advantage of the pseudo BB (for example, the difference in the number of games in which the pseudo BB continues) may be changed at points that have increased during the period from the start of the confrontation omen state to the end of the confrontation state.

FIG. 39 is a diagram showing an example in which the effect examples described so far are applied to a pachinko machine.

The example shown on the left side of FIG. 39 is an example of an animation in which the point display increases.

FIG. 39(a1) shows a decorative symbol display device 208 for performing variable display of decorative symbols. In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 39(a1), the variable display of the decorative symbol of special figure 1 is displayed. A character display area 1571 is also provided on the left side of the display screen of the decorative pattern display device 208, and an effect information display area 1572 is also provided below the character display area 1571. In the effect information display area 1572, a point number display PN and a lap number display LN are displayed. A variation icon ci is displayed beside the effect information display area 1572, and a hold icon hi is displayed beside it. The variable icon ci is larger than the hold icon hi and the display mode is also different. In this example, the display mode is such that the hatching is downward to the left. The variation icon ci is an icon corresponding to the special figure variation game that is displayed after the hold is exhausted and the special figure variation game is started. That is, the hold icon hi becomes the change icon ci at the same time as the start of the special figure change game corresponding to the hold icon hi. The variation icon ci is basically erased at the timing when the result of the variation is notified, and can be regarded as an icon related to the hold, and in the sense that the notification of the result of the special figure variation game is held is held. You can think of it as a type of icon. It should be noted that the erasing timing of the variable icon may be before, at the same timing, or after the timing at which the result of the variation is notified. ..

In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 39(a1), the variable display of the decorative symbol is performed. Further, at the right end of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, from the top, the number of holdings of the special figure 1 (here, “3”) is displayed, and it is lit in gray to notify that the special figure 1 is changing. The special symbol 1 of the special symbol 1, the special number 2 of the number of holding display (here "3"), the special symbol 2 is informed that the special symbol 2 is stopped by turning off in black 4 symbols, the number of reserved numbers of the universal symbol (“0” in this case), the fourth symbol of the universal symbol indicating that the universal symbol is stopped by turning off in black is displayed.

In FIG. 39(a2), the variable display of the decorative pattern is finished, and the combination of the decorative patterns with a loss (decoration 6-decoration 1-decoration 6) is stopped and displayed. When the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, the animation of the first addition display ad1 is started. That is, the first addition amount display ad1 (here, "+1" is displayed) appears from the face image tp of the lord's character, and a part of the face image tp is overlapped by the first addition amount display ad1. The face image tp is more difficult to visually recognize than before the first addition display ad1 appears.

FIG. 39(a2) to FIG. 39(a5) correspond to the final display of the decorative symbol. In FIG. 39(a2), the first addition display ad1 moves in the direction away from the face image tp of the lord's character. ing. The transparency of the first addition display ad1 increases while moving, and the first addition display ad1 shown in FIG. 39(a3) is about to disappear. On the other hand, on the side of the effect information display area 1572, the animation of the second addition display ad2 has started. That is, on the side of the effect information display area 1572, the second addition amount display ad2 (here, “+1” display) appears. The second added amount display ad2 shown in FIG. 39(a3) is not disappearing and is displayed firmly. The second addition display ad2 moves in a direction approaching the point number display PN, the transparency increases while moving, and becomes a part of the point number display PN (display of "056") shown in FIG. 39(a4). The overlapping second addition display ad2 is about to disappear. Note that in FIG. 39(a4), the first addition display ad1 has completely disappeared.

In FIG. 39(a5), the second addition display ad2 disappears completely, and the point number display PN is "057" which represents the same value as the count value of the second P counter. That is, the point number display PN is changed to a display obtained by adding one point.

The example shown on the left side of FIG. 39 described above is an example in which the increase points are added every time the fluctuation stops, but even if the increase points are added during fluctuation, during pseudo stop of pseudo-announcement, during reach, during SP reach. Often, when the player reaches the specified points, a privilege (eg, reach, SP reach, small hit, big hit, wallpaper, music, etc.) may be given to the player.

The example shown in the center of FIG. 39 is an example in which a change icon is used to give a notice of increasing points. Hereinafter, the description will be centered on the differences from the example shown on the left side of FIG. 39, and redundant description will be omitted.

The variation icon ci shown in FIG. 39(b1) has a different display mode from the variation icon ci shown in FIG. 39(a1), and the number 5 is displayed in the lower left hatching. The display of the numeral 5 is the addition amount in the animation of the addition amount display, which is started when the decorative pattern currently being performed is stopped, that is, the increase amount of the point number displayed in the point number display PN. Is a display for announcing. In the pachinko machine, immediately before the start of the symbol variation, the point increase setting process of step S134b shown in FIG. 16 is executed.

Further, with respect to the reserved amount, it is possible to pre-read the point increase setting process according to the fact that there is a ball in the special figure starting port. The first and second hold icons hi from the left in FIG. 39(b1) have different display modes from the other hold icons hi, and the first hold icon hi from the left has a number of 10 displayed from the left. A number of 20 is displayed on the second hold icon hi. The number displayed on the hold icon is a display of a look-ahead notice for announcing an increase in the number of points to be increased when the hold icon hi is consumed and the symbols are stopped.

In FIG. 39(b2), the variable display of the decorative pattern is finished, and the combination of the decorative patterns with a loss (decoration 6-decoration 1-decoration 6) is stopped and displayed. Also, the variable icon ci has been deleted. When the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, the animation of the first addition display ad1 is started, and the display of “+5” appears as the first addition display ad1. That is, the number displayed on the variable icon ci appears as the first addition display ad1.

After that, the same as the example shown on the left side of FIG. 39, except that the numbers of the first addition display ad1 and the second addition display ad2 are different (in this example, “+5” instead of “+1”). Therefore, the description is omitted.

In addition, as a result of pre-reading, when there is a big hit in the hold, the zone display may be always performed separately from the point arrival, or may be performed with a predetermined probability.

The example shown on the right side of FIG. 39 is an example of a point increase animation using a variable icon. In the following, differences from the example shown on the left side and the example shown in the center of FIG. 39 will be mainly described, and redundant description will be omitted.

The variation icon ci shown in FIG. 39(c1) is also a display mode in which the number 5 is displayed in the hatching on the lower left, and gives an advance notice of the increase in the number of points displayed in the point number display PN. Further, the first hold icon hi from the left is a display mode of a look-ahead notice for announcing that 10 points will be increased when the hold icon hi is consumed and the symbols are stopped. The hold icon hi of is a display mode of a pre-reading notice that gives a notice that the number of points will increase by 20 points.

In FIG. 39(c2), the variable display of the decorative pattern is finished, and the combination of the missing decorative patterns (decoration 6-decoration 1-decoration 6) is stopped and displayed. When the decorative design is stopped and displayed, the animation of the first addition display ad1 is started, and the first addition display ad1 (here, “+1” display) appears. Further, the variable icon ci notifying that the number of points will increase by 5 points has finished its role as a variable icon, and has started to move toward the point number display PN as one of the second added amount displays. Hereinafter, this icon will be referred to as a second addition icon adi. The 5 points of the second addition icon adi may be the increase amount of the lord's character, or may be the increase amount of the second addition amount icon adi irrelevant to the lord's character.

The first addition display ad1 shown in FIG. 39(c3) is about to disappear. On the other hand, on the side of the effect information display area 1572, the second addition amount display ad2 (here, “+1” display) appears. The second addition amount icon adi and the second addition amount display ad2 overlap each other, and further, in FIG. 39(c4), a part of the point number display PN (display of "056") and the second addition amount icon adi , The second addition display ad2 overlaps. Further, the transparency of both the second addition icon adi and the second addition display ad2 is increased.

In FIG. 39(c5), both the second addition icon adi and the second addition display ad2 have completely disappeared, and the point number display PN has 6 points added to 56 points up to that point, and the count value of the second P counter. “062” indicating the same value as is displayed.

Was also explained.

Even with this game table, the first display changes at the same degree of change after the setting change process is performed and after the power failure and restoration, so that the player is not required to determine whether the setting is deferred or not. In some cases, it can be played. Further, since the display ratio of the second display can be adjusted after the setting change process is performed and after the power failure and power recovery, it is possible to allow the player to play the game without being discriminated whether or not the setting is deferred. May be possible.

Here, “related to performance” may be “related to privilege” or “related to performance point”.

Moreover, you may provide the counting means which counts about privilege.

The counting means may be a means in which the count value may change depending on the result of the game.

The counting unit may be a unit that has a certain count value when the setting change process is performed.

Further, the first display may be a display of display content related to the count value of the counting means or a display content of display content different from the count value of the counting means.

The count value in the counting unit may not be a value that changes due to the occurrence of power failure and power recovery.

Further, the second display may be a display that is displayed or hidden depending on the display content of the first display.

The second display may be a display showing that the advantage of the player is relatively high.

Even if the second display is a display that is displayed according to the value of the second counting means, the second counting means that obtains information indicating the count value of the counting means and updates the value is provided. Alternatively, the display may be displayed or hidden depending on the value of the second counting means.

The value of the second counting means may be a value that may change due to the occurrence of power failure and power recovery.

Also,
“The certain display content is display content based on a certain rule [for example, display content according to a processing program, more specifically, display content defined by the processing program (for example, initial value or specific Display content that represents the value of, a display content that displays a specific symbol or a display content that does not display anything), and the display content that is determined by a lottery or order from two or more items]].

That is, the display means is means for displaying the first display with the display content based on a certain rule when the setting change processing is performed, and the display means has a power interruption/recovery. In this case, it may be means for displaying the first display with the display content based on the certain rule.

Further, the certain display content may be display content that represents an amount based on a certain rule.

Also,
"A certain result in which the result of the first game after the setting change process is performed is different from the above-mentioned first result (hereinafter, referred to as "second result") [for example, a result of losing and winning] Before and after the change, the display content of the first display [for example, the display content indicating that the point number display PN indicates 0] does not change [for example, FIG. 36(a3)],
The second game is the result of the first game after a power failure recovery [eg, power recovery immediately after power failure or power failure at night and power recovery next morning] There is no change in the display content of the first display before and after the result of [1] [for example, FIG. 37(a3)],
A gaming table characterized by that. ]
Was also explained.

When the second result is obtained both after the setting change process is performed and after the power is restored, it is determined whether or not the setting is deferred because the display content of the first display does not change. In some cases, the player can play the game without being played.

Also here, since the display ratio of the second display can be matched after the setting change process is performed and after the power failure and restoration, the player can play the game without being discriminated whether or not the setting is deferred. In some cases, it can be done.
