Next, a functional configuration of the main control board 50 will be described.
FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration of the main control board 50. In the present embodiment, for example, the following units 101, 103, 106, 107, 108, and 109 are configured from programs recorded in the main CPU 51 and ROM 52. For example, the following flag information storage unit 105 is provided in the RAM 53. For example, the following lottery table 102 data is stored in the ROM 52.

(Role drawing part 101)
The role lottery unit 101 draws a role (special role, small role, replay, etc.). Here, the special combination is a combination that is a game different from the normal game and is shifted to a plurality of special games that are advantageous to the player. A small role is a role of paying out to a player a number of medals according to the type of the small role. Replay is a role that gives a player the right to replay while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the previous game.

  In addition, for each game, the role lottery unit 101 obtains one random number after internally generating a random number, refers to the lottery table 102 stored in the ROM 52, and based on the area to which the obtained random number belongs, The presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination are determined.

  That is, the role lottery unit 101 generates random numbers in a predetermined area (0 to 65535 in decimal notation), for example, and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, when the start switch 41 is operated, Get the numeric value. In the lottery table 102, as shown in FIG. 5, for the random values that can be acquired by the role lottery unit 101, a special role winning region, a small role winning region, a re-raffle winning (RP; replay) winning region, and non- A winning area is set at a predetermined rate. That is, the lottery table defines the relationship between random numbers and each combination. For example, a random number (a + α) from a random value (a) is assigned to a big bonus (BB) that is a special combination. From the next random value (a + α + 1), another random value (a + α + 1 + β) is assigned to the regular bonus (RB) which is a special role, and a small role (watermelon, cherry, bell) winning area, a re-lottery winning (RP) winning area Similarly, random numbers are assigned to non-winning areas. Then, the winning combination in the area including the random value acquired by the winning lottery unit 101 becomes the winning winning combination as a result of the winning lottery.

  Then, the combination lottery unit 101 compares the acquired random number value with the lottery table 102 to determine an area to which the random value belongs, and determines a combination corresponding to the area to which the random value belongs. For example, when the extracted random number value belongs to the special combination winning area, it is determined that the special combination is won, and when it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined to be lost. If any combination is won, the flag for the combination is turned on.

(Control unit 103)
The control unit 103 controls the operation timing of the combination lottery unit 101, a reel control unit 106 and a winning determination unit 107, which will be described later, and the like. For example, on the condition that the start switch 41 is operated, the control unit 103 causes the combination lottery unit 101 to perform combination lottery, causes the reel control unit 106 to start the rotation of the reel group 31, and the stop switch. The reel control unit 106 performs stop control of the reel group 31 on the condition that the group 42 has been operated, and further causes the winning determination unit 107 to perform a prize determination on the condition that the reel group 31 has stopped. In addition, when the control unit 103 receives communication start instruction information from the game apparatus 2 via the wireless communication unit 72, the reel control unit 106 receives reel stop position information (to be described later) and the payout control unit 109. Instructs the sub-control board 60 to transmit payout medal number information to be described later. The operation of the control unit 103 is not limited to these.

(Flag information storage unit 105)
The flag information storage unit 105 stores the type of the winning combination and that the flag is turned on when the flag for any combination is turned on by the lottery result of the combination lottery unit 101. Of the information stored in the flag information storage unit 105, the flags of the roles other than the special role are erased (turned off) at the end of the game and carried over to the next game regardless of whether or not the winning combination of the role has been won. There is no. On the other hand, the special combination flag is erased (turned off) only when a special combination is won as a result of determination by the winning determination unit 107 described later.

(Reel control unit 106)
The reel control unit 106 controls rotation and stop of the reel group 31 (reels 31L, 31C, and 31R) based on an instruction from the control unit 103. More specifically, the reel control unit 106 has a gaming state (for example, a normal gaming state, a special gaming state, etc.), a lottery result by the combination lottery unit 101, and a stop switch group 42 (stop switches 42L, 42C and 42R). Based on the operated timing or the like, the stop positions of the reels 31L, 31C and 31R are determined and the driving of the stepping motor is controlled to stop the rotation of the reels 31L, 31C and 31R at the determined positions.

  For example, as a result of lottery by the part lottery unit 101, when no part is won, the reels 31L, 31C, and 31C are arranged so as not to stop the combination of symbols of any part on the active line that is valid. A stop position of 31R is determined. On the other hand, when any combination is won, the stop positions of the reels 31L, 31C, and 31R are determined so that the combination of symbols of the winning combination is stopped on the activated effective line.

  In particular, when the special combination is won in the game, the reels 31L, 31C, and 31R are within the range of the stop control so that the combination of the special combination symbols is stopped on the active line that is enabled ( For example, within 4 symbols), pull-in control is performed so that the symbols related to special roles are aligned as much as possible. However, even if the special combination is won, when the small combination or replay is selected, the reels 31L, 31C, and 31C, so that the combination of the special combination symbols does not stop on the activated active line. A stop position of 31R is determined. Such control when stopping the reels 31L, 31C and 31R may be performed using a reel control table.

  In addition, when the control unit 103 instructs the reel control unit 106 to transmit reel stop position information to the sub-control board 60, the reel control unit 106 indicates the stop positions of the reels 31L, 31C, and 31R determined as described above. Stop position information is transmitted to the sub-control board 60.

(Winning determination unit 107)
The winning determination unit 107 determines whether or not a combination of symbols in the active line group 22 is arranged in any of the active lines that are active, and if there is an in-line combination, It is determined that the prize has been won. At this time, the winning determination unit 106 determines, for example, a symbol positioned on the effective line by detecting an angle, the number of steps, or the like when the stepping motor is stopped, and based on this, determines whether or not a winning combination has been won. . When a table is used for control when stopping the reels 31L, 31C, and 31R, the winning determination unit 107 does not determine the combination of symbols after the reels 31L, 31C, and 31R actually stop. Instead, when the stop position of the reel group 31 is determined by the reel control unit 106 using a table, the combination of symbols that stop on the effective line may be determined.

(Game state control unit 108)
The gaming state control unit 108 controls the special game until the predetermined end condition is satisfied from the next game when the winning combination is determined as a result of the determination by the winning determination unit 107. For example, the game state control unit 108 causes the reel control unit 106 to perform reel control for special games according to the lottery result of the role lottery unit 101 during the special game, or causes the sub control board 60 to perform special game effects. Or let it be done.

(Payout control unit 109)
The payout control unit 109 causes the hopper device 93 to pay out medals corresponding to the winning combination as a result of the determination by the winning determination unit 107. Also, when there is an instruction from the control unit 103 to send out the payout medal number information to the sub-control board 60, the payout control unit 109 displays payout medal number information indicating the number of medals paid out during the game. 60 is transmitted.

Next, a functional configuration of the sub control board 60 will be described.
FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration of the sub control board 60. In the present embodiment, for example, an effect pattern selection unit 201 and a communication control unit 203 are configured from programs recorded in the sub CPU 61 and the ROM 62, and a program recorded in the sub CPU 61 and the ROM 62, and the image control processor 64. The effect control unit 202 is configured by a program or the like recorded in the image data ROM 65.

(Production pattern selection unit 201)
The effect pattern selection unit 201 selects an effect pattern according to the gaming state. Specifically, the effect pattern selection unit 201 receives a signal from the role lottery unit 101 of the main control board 50 and selects an effect pattern according to the winning combination or the like, or a winning determination unit 107 of the main control board 50. In response to a signal from the gaming state control unit 108, an effect pattern corresponding to a winning combination or a gaming state is selected.

(Production control unit 202)
The effect control unit 202 displays an effect image corresponding to the effect pattern selected by the effect pattern selection unit 201 on the effect display device 40. Further, the effect control unit 202 controls the sound source circuit 67 so that a sound signal is generated by the sound source circuit 67, amplified by the amplifier 68, and then output as sound from the speaker 71.

(Communication control unit 203)
When the communication control unit 203 receives the reel stop position information and the payout medal number information from the main control board 50, the communication control unit 203 acquires the effect pattern information indicating the effect pattern at the time of the game from the effect pattern selection unit 201, and acquires the acquired effect pattern. Game information including information, reel stop position information and payout medal number information is generated. The generated game information is output to the wireless communication unit 72 and transmitted from the wireless communication unit 72 to the game apparatus 2.

Next, the operation of the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing control by the main control board 50, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing control by the sub control board 60.

  In FIG. 7, the control unit 103 determines whether or not communication start instruction information has been received from the game apparatus 2 via the wireless communication unit 72 during the previous game (step S <b> 101). As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the communication start instruction information has not been received, the process proceeds to step S102. As a result of the determination in step S101, the process from step S110, which is shifted when it is determined that the communication start instruction information has been received, will be described later.

  When the process proceeds to step S102, when a player inserts a medal and the start switch 41 is operated, the control unit 103 detects that the start switch 41 is turned on, and the combination lottery unit 101 determines the combination. The lottery process is performed (step S102 / YES, step S103). On the other hand, if the player does not operate the start switch 41 and the control unit 103 cannot detect that the start switch 41 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S102 until it is detected that the start switch 41 is turned on. Repeat the process.

  In the combination lottery process in step S103, the combination lottery unit 101 acquires a random number and performs a combination lottery process by comparing the acquired random number with the lottery table 102. As a result of the lottery, if a winning combination is found, the winning combination flag is turned on in the flag information storage unit 105. In addition, the lottery result by the combination lottery unit 101 is transmitted to the sub-control board 60 through the I / F circuit 54 as winning combination information.

  Then, after these processes by the combination lottery unit 101 are completed, the control unit 103 causes the reel control unit 106 to start rotating the reels 31L, 31C, and 31R (step S104).

  After the reel control unit 106 rotates the reels 31L, 31C, and 31R, the control unit 103 determines whether any one of the stop switch groups 42 is turned on (step S105). As a result of this determination, when it is determined that any one stop switch is turned on (step S105 / YES), the reel control unit 106 performs reel control so that the winning combination can be won, The rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped (step S106). Note that, in the combination lottery process in step S103, if no combination is won (when lost), the reel control unit 106 does not win any combination in step S106. Perform the corresponding reel control.

  Subsequently, the control unit 103 determines whether all the stop switches are operated and all the reels are stopped (step S107). As a result of this determination, if it is determined that all the reels have not yet stopped (step S107 / NO), the process returns to step S105, and the processing from the detection processing of whether or not the stop switch is operated is repeated.

  When all the reels stop (step S107 / YES), the winning determination unit 107 determines whether or not there is a winning based on the combination of symbols arranged on the activated effective line (step S108). As a result of this determination, if it is determined that there is a winning combination of some kind (step S108 / YES), a winning process corresponding to the winning combination is executed (step S109).

  When the winning combination is a special combination, the gaming state control unit 108 performs a transition process for executing the special game until the predetermined end condition is satisfied from the next game. The game state control unit 108 causes the reel control unit 106 to perform reel control during the special game or to perform sub-control so as to provide the player with a game state corresponding to the big bonus game or the regular bonus game during the special game. The board 60 is made to produce special games. In addition, the game state control unit 108 performs a process of shifting to the normal game when the specified number of games of the big bonus game or the regular bonus game is finished.

  When the winning combination is not a special combination, if the flag of the special combination is stored in the flag information storage unit 105 in the ON state, the storage state of the flag in the flag information storage unit 105 is carried over to the next game.

  When the winning combination is replay, the winning determination unit 107 causes the control unit 103 to carry a bet (the number of bets) on the game to the next game. On the other hand, when the winning combination is neither a special combination nor a replay, the payout control unit 109 causes the hopper device 93 to pay out the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination.

  As a result of the determination in step S108, if it is determined that there is no winning combination, or if the process of step S109 is completed, the process returns to step S101.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S101, if the control unit 103 determines that the communication start instruction information has been received from the game apparatus 2 during the previous game, the process proceeds to step S110.

  When a player inserts a medal and the start switch 41 is operated, the control unit 103 detects that the start switch 41 is turned on, and the combination lottery unit 101 performs a combination lottery process (step S110 / YES, step S111). On the other hand, if the player does not operate the start switch 41 and the control unit 103 cannot detect that the start switch 41 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S110 until it is detected that the start switch 41 is turned on. Repeat the process.

  In the combination lottery process in step S111, the combination lottery unit 101 acquires a random number and performs a combination lottery process by comparing the acquired random number with the lottery table 102. As a result of the lottery, when a winning combination is made, the winning combination flag is turned on in the flag information storage unit 105. In addition, the lottery result by the combination lottery unit 101 is transmitted to the sub-control board 60 through the I / F circuit 54 as winning combination information.

  Then, after these processes by the combination lottery unit 101 are completed, the control unit 103 causes the reel control unit 106 to start rotating the reels 31L, 31C, and 31R (step S112).

  After the reel control unit 106 rotates the reels 31L, 31C, and 31R, the control unit 103 determines whether any one of the stop switch groups 42 is turned on (step S113). As a result of this determination, when it is determined that any one stop switch is turned on (step S113 / YES), the reel control unit 106 performs reel control so that the winning combination can be won, The rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped (step S114). Note that, in the combination lottery process in step S112, if any combination is not won (in the case of a loss), the reel control unit 106 does not win any combination in step S114. Perform the corresponding reel control.

  Subsequently, the control unit 103 determines whether all the stop switches are operated and all the reels are stopped (step S115). As a result of this determination, if it is determined that all the reels have not yet stopped (step S115 / NO), the process returns to step S113, and the processing from the detection processing of whether or not the stop switch is operated is repeated.

  When all the reels stop (step S115 / YES), the winning determination unit 107 determines whether or not there is a winning based on the combination of symbols arranged on the activated effective line (step S116). As a result of this determination, if it is determined that there is a winning combination of some kind (step S116 / YES), a winning process corresponding to the winning combination is executed (step S117). Here, since the winning process in step S117 is the same as that in step S109, description of the details of the winning process is omitted.

  Subsequently, the control unit 103 instructs the reel control unit 106 and the payout control unit 109 to transmit reel stop position information and payout medal number information to the sub-control board 60, respectively. In response to this instruction, the reel control unit 106 transmits reel stop position information indicating the stop position of each reel 31L, 31C, 31R determined at the time of the game to the sub-control board 60, and the payout control unit 109 Then, payout medal number information indicating the number of medals paid out during the game is transmitted to the sub-control board 60 (step S118).

  Subsequently, the control unit 103 determines whether communication end instruction information has been received from the game device 2 via the wireless communication unit 72 during the game (step S119). As a result of this determination, if it is determined that communication end instruction information has been received from the game apparatus 2 during the game, the process proceeds to step S102. On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S119, if it is determined that the communication end instruction information has not been received from the game apparatus 2 during the game, the process proceeds to step S110.

  Thus, once the main control board 50 receives the communication start instruction information from the game apparatus 2, the reel stop from the game next to the game that has received the communication start instruction information until the game at which the communication end instruction information is received. Position information and payout medal number information are transmitted to the sub-control board 60.

Next, control of the sub-control board 60 will be described with reference to FIG.
The communication control unit 203 determines whether the reel stop position information and the payout medal number information have been received from the main control board 50 (step S201). As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the reel stop position information and the payout medal number information are received, the communication control unit 203 displays the effect pattern information indicating the effect pattern selected during the game from the effect pattern selection unit 201. Is acquired (step S202).

  Subsequently, the communication control unit 203 generates game information including reel stop position information, payout medal number information, and effect pattern information (step S203). FIG. 9 is a diagram conceptually showing the data structure of the game information. As shown in FIG. 9, the game information includes reel stop position information, payout medal number information, and effect pattern information, and receives communication start instruction information from the game apparatus 2 (step S101 / YES). The number-of-games information indicating how many games have been added since the reel stop position information, the payout medal number information, and the effect pattern information have been transmitted to the game apparatus 2 is added.

  Subsequently, the communication control unit 203 controls the wireless communication unit 72 so as to transmit the generated game information to the game apparatus 2 by wireless communication (step S204).

  As described above, the sub-control board 60 repeatedly executes the above-described processing from step S201 to step S204 every time it receives the reel stop position information and the payout medal number information from the main control board 50. That is, the slot machine 1 generates game information for each game from the next game that has received the communication start instruction information from the game device 2 to a game that receives the communication end instruction information, and transmits the game information to the game device 2. .

  Then, the analysis unit 1893 transmits the analysis result analyzed as described above to the display control unit 185.

  Next, the operation of the game apparatus 2 according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described. 15-1 to 15-3 are flowcharts showing the operation of the game apparatus 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  First, the control unit 183 determines the mode selected and determined by operating the menu selection button 150 and the determination button 151 or the touch panel on the mode setting screen of FIG. 10 (step S301). As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the selected mode is the “PLAY mode” (step S301 / PLAY mode), the process proceeds to step S302. On the other hand, when it is determined that the selected mode is the “communication analysis mode” (step S301 / communication analysis mode), the process proceeds to step S311 in FIG.

  When the process proceeds to step S302, when a player inserts a medal and the start switch 116 is operated, the control unit 183 detects that the start switch 116 is turned on, and the combination lottery unit 181 The lottery process is performed (step S302 / YES, step S303). On the other hand, if the player does not operate the start switch 116 and the control unit 103 cannot detect that the start switch 116 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S302 until it is detected that the start switch 116 is turned on. Repeat the process.

  In the combination lottery process of step S303, the combination lottery unit 181 acquires a random number, and performs the combination lottery process by comparing the acquired random number with the lottery table 182. As a result of the lottery, if a winning combination is made, the winning combination flag is turned on in the flag information storage unit 184. At this time, information on the lottery result by the combination lottery unit 181 is sent to the display control unit 185 and the voice control unit 186. Upon receiving this information, the display control unit 185 generates effect image data corresponding to the winning combination and displays an image based on the generated image data on the second image display device 120. In addition, the voice control unit 186 that has received the lottery result information from the lottery unit 181 generates a sound signal corresponding to the winning combination and the like, and causes the speaker 130 to output the generated sound signal as voice.

  After the process by the combination lottery unit 181 is completed, the control unit 183 starts variable display of the symbol images on the reel display units 111L, 111C, and 111R on the display control unit 185 (step S304).

  After the display control unit 185 starts variable display of the symbol images on the reel display units 111L, 111C, and 111R, the control unit 183 determines whether any one of the stop switch groups 117 is turned on (step) S305). As a result of this determination, if it is determined that any one of the stop switches is turned on, the display control unit 185 is operated by performing stop display control of the symbol image so that the winning combination can be won. The variable display of the symbol image on the reel display unit corresponding to the stop switch is stopped (step S306). Note that, in the combination lottery process in step S303, if any combination is not won (in case of a loss), the display control unit 185 does not win any combination in step S306. The stop display control of the corresponding symbol image is performed.

  Subsequently, the control unit 183 determines whether all the stop switches are operated and the symbol images of all the reel display units are stopped and displayed (step S307). As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the symbol images of all the reel display portions are not stopped and displayed (step S307 / NO), the process returns to step S305, and the processing from the detection processing of whether or not the stop switch is operated is performed. repeat.

  When the symbol images on all reel display portions are stopped and displayed (step S307 / YES), the winning determination unit 187 determines the presence / absence of winning based on the combination of the symbol images arranged on the activated effective line. (Step S308). As a result of this determination, when it is determined that there is a winning combination of some kind (step S308 / YES), a winning process corresponding to the winning combination is executed (step S309).

  When the winning combination is a special combination, the game state control unit 188 performs a transition process for executing the special game until the predetermined end condition is satisfied from the next game.

  In the winning process of step S309, the display control unit 185 receives the information on the winning combination from the winning determination unit 187 and the gaming state information from the gaming state control unit 188, and produces an effect image corresponding to the winning combination and the gaming state. Data is sequentially generated, and control is performed so that the effect image is displayed on the second image display device 120 based on the generated image data. Further, the display control unit 185 receives the information on the winning combination from the winning determination unit 187, calculates the number of medals to be paid out, and changes the display of the number of payouts display unit 114 based on the calculated number of medals to be paid out. I do.

  Further, in the winning process in step S309, the voice control unit 186 receives information on the winning combination from the winning determination unit 187 and information on the gaming state from the gaming state control unit 188, and responds to the winning combination and the gaming state. A sound signal is generated in the production, and the generated sound signal is output as sound from the speaker 130.

  Subsequently, based on an instruction from the control unit 183, the display control unit 185 pays out to the game the reel stop position information indicating the stop position of the symbol image in each reel display unit 111L, 111C, and 111R at the time of the game. The payout medal number information indicating the number of medals and the effect pattern information indicating a series of effect patterns based on the effect image data generated during the game are sent to the game prediction determination unit 189 and stored in the game device history information storage unit 1892b. (Step S310). Thereafter, the process returns to step S301, and the processes in steps S302 to S310 are repeatedly executed until “communication analysis mode” is selected in step S301.
