The cross-down line 8e is a line formed by connecting the left / upper region A, the middle / middle region E, and the right / lower region I, respectively. The RB middle special line 8f is a line formed by connecting the left / middle stage region D, the middle / lower stage region H, and the right / upper stage region C, respectively.

  In the present embodiment, in the BB gaming state (RB gaming state), only the special line 8f during RB becomes an effective line by inserting two medals. On the other hand, in a game state other than the BB game state (RB game state), four winning lines including the center line 8c, the bottom line 8d, the cross-up line 8a, and the cross-down line 8e are activated as three medals are inserted. Become. In some cases, the BB1 gaming state to the BB4 gaming state are collectively referred to as the BB gaming state. In addition, the RB1 gaming state to the RB2 gaming state may be collectively referred to as an RB gaming state.

  Next, the symbol sequence arranged on the reels 3L, 3C, 3R will be described with reference to the symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an arrangement of symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R of the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

  On the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, a symbol row in which 21 types of symbols are arranged is drawn. Specifically, a symbol sequence consisting of 7 red symbols, 1 don symbol, 2 don symbols, BAR symbol, wave symbol, 1 bell symbol, 2 bell symbols, 1 cherry symbol, 2 cherry symbols, and a replay symbol is drawn. ing.

  The symbol arrangement table is stored in the main ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 described later. As shown in FIG. 3, in the symbol arrangement table, in order to associate the rotation positions of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reel, every 1/21 rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. Symbol positions from “0” to “20” that are sequentially assigned to are defined.

  Next, the upper part of the gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a view showing the upper front of the gaming machine 1. FIG. 5 is a view showing a cross section in the vicinity of the display panel unit 110 of the gaming machine 1. FIG. 6 is a view showing the display panels 110Pa to 110Pd of the gaming machine 1. FIG. 7A is a diagram showing the left decorative panel 121L and the left infrared sensor 120L of the gaming machine 1, and FIG. 7B is a diagram showing the left infrared sensor 120L of the gaming machine 1.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a display panel unit 110 is provided in the upper center of the liquid crystal display area 23. A left selection panel 151L and a right selection panel 151R are provided on the left and right sides of the display panel unit 110. A left decorative panel 121L and a right decorative panel 121R are provided on the upper left and right of the display panel unit 110.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the display panel unit 110 has four display panels 110Pa, 110Pb, 110Pc, and 110Pd that have high light transmittance and excellent light guiding properties (the display panels 110Pa to 110Pd are collectively referred to as a display panel 110P). And four LEDs 111, 112, 113, 114. Each of the display panels 110Pa to 110Pd is installed in a state of being overlapped with a gap. Each of the display panels 110Pa to 110Pd is drawn with a symbol, and individually provided LEDs 111 to 114 emit light so that the player can visually recognize the symbol. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6, the character design is drawn on each of the display panels 110Pa to 110Pd. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D, characters are drawn larger as the display panels 110Pa to 110Pd provided in front of the player. The symbols drawn on the display panels 110Pa to 110Pd can be clearly seen by the player as the brightness of the LED corresponding to the display panel 110P increases. The luminance of the LEDs 111 to 114 is controlled by the sub CPU 71 in the sub control circuit 70 described later. For example, from the LED 114 corresponding to the display panel 110Pd provided on the back side when the sub CPU 71 is viewed from the player, the LED 113 corresponding to the display panel 110Pc, the LED 112 corresponding to the display panel 110Pb, and the LED 111 corresponding to the display panel 110Pa. By increasing the brightness (that is, causing the LED to emit light), it appears to the player that the character is approaching him. In addition, regarding the control of the LEDs 111 to 114, from the LED 111 corresponding to the display panel 110Pa provided on the near side as viewed from the player, the LED 112 corresponding to the display panel 110Pb, the LED 113 corresponding to the display panel 110Pc, and the display panel 110Pd. By increasing the brightness in the order of the corresponding LEDs 114, it is possible to make the player appear to move away. Thus, when changing the brightness | luminance of LED111-114 in order, it is preferable not to make it difficult to see a pattern overlappingly. For example, when increasing the brightness of the LED 112 after increasing the brightness of the LED 111, if the brightness of a certain LED is increased, such as decreasing the brightness of the LED 111, the LED whose brightness has been increased before that. It is preferable to reduce the brightness of the. In addition, as for the symbols, the character may be drawn as small as the display panel 110P provided in front of the player, and as large as the display panel 110P in the back. Further, a liquid crystal display device is provided in the back of the display panel unit 110 (or the display portion of the liquid crystal display device 5 is enlarged), and a player can see an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device through the display panels 110Pa to 110Pd. You may do it.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, a left infrared sensor 120L is provided in the back of the left decorative panel 121L. Although not shown, the right infrared sensor 120R is also provided behind the right decorative panel 121R. Hereinafter, the description of the left decorative panel 121L and the left infrared sensor 120L is the same for the right decorative panel 121R and the right infrared sensor 120R.

  The infrared sensors 120L and 120R are so-called reflective infrared sensors, and can detect whether an object (for example, a player's hand) is present or approached in the direction in which the infrared beam is output. As shown in FIG. 7B, the left infrared sensor 120L outputs an infrared beam in the direction of the arrow AR, and receives the reflected infrared beam, thereby bringing the player's hand or the like closer to the left selection panel 151L. Detect that. Similarly, the right infrared sensor 120R detects whether a player's hand or the like has come near the right selection panel 151R. The infrared sensors 120L and 120R do not always operate, but operate when a billy get challenge effect described later is executed. In the present embodiment, the reflective infrared sensor is used, but other sensors that can detect that the player's hand or the like has approached the vicinity of the left selection panel 151L and the right selection panel 151R are adopted. Also good. The left selection panel 151L and the right selection panel 151R themselves may be so-called touch sensors.

The main control circuit 60 includes a microcomputer 30 disposed on a circuit board as a main component, and is added to a circuit for random number sampling. The microcomputer 30 includes a main CPU 31, a main ROM 32 and a main RAM 33.

  The main CPU 31 is connected to a clock pulse generation circuit 34, a frequency divider 35, a random number generator 36, and a sampling circuit 37.

  The main CPU 31 determines an internal winning combination based on a random number value and an internal lottery table which will be described later, and stops the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R based on the internal winning combination and the timing when the stop operation is detected. Let The main CPU 31 of this embodiment constitutes a reel stop control means of the present invention.

  Further, when the main CPU 31 stops the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, it determines whether or not a winning combination has been established based on the combination of symbols displayed in the symbol display areas 4L, 4C, and 4R. If established, the player is given a profit such as paying out medals according to the established combination.

  The clock pulse generation circuit 34 and the frequency divider 35 generate a reference clock pulse. The random number generator 36 generates a random number in the range of “0” to “65535”. The sampling circuit 37 extracts (samples) one random number value from the random number generated by the random number generator 36.

  In the gaming machine 1, the extracted random number value is stored in a random value storage area of the main RAM 33 described later. Then, for each game, based on the random number value stored in the random value storage area of the main RAM 33, an internal winning combination is determined in an internal lottery process described later. The main CPU 31 that executes the internal lottery process constitutes an internal winning combination determining means of the present invention.

  In addition, as a means for random number sampling, you may make it the structure which performs random number sampling within the microcomputer 30, ie, on the operation program of the main CPU31. In that case, the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37 can be omitted, or can be left as a backup for the random number sampling operation.

  The main ROM 32 of the microcomputer 30 stores programs related to the processing of the main CPU 31, various tables, and the like.

  Various information obtained by processing of the main CPU 31 is set in the main RAM 33. For example, information for identifying the extracted random number value, gaming state, internal winning combination, number of payouts, bonus carryover status, setting value, etc., various counters and flags are set. Some of these pieces of information are transmitted to the sub-control circuit 70 by the above-described command.

  Examples of main peripheral devices whose operation is controlled by a control signal from the microcomputer 30 include a hopper 40 and stepping motors 49L, 49C, and 49R. The exchange of signals between these actuators and the main CPU 31 is performed via the I / O port 38.

  In addition, the output unit of the microcomputer 30 is connected to each circuit for receiving the control signal output from the main CPU 31 and controlling the operation of each peripheral device described above. Each circuit includes a motor drive circuit 39, a lamp drive circuit 45, a display unit drive circuit 48, and a hopper drive circuit 41.

  For example, the lamp driving circuit 45 drives (lights) the WIN lamp 17 when winning is established and the BET lamps 9a, 9b, and 9c according to the number of BETs when a BET (medal is inserted).

  The display unit drive circuit 48 includes, for example, a payout number display unit 18 that displays the number of paid out medals in the liquid crystal display region 23 when a winning is established, and a credit display unit that displays the number of medals credited in the liquid crystal display region 23. 19 is controlled.

  The hopper drive circuit 41 drives and controls the hopper 40. Thereby, the medal accommodated in the hopper 40 is paid out.

  The motor drive circuit 39 drives and controls the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R. As a result, the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are rotated and stopped. The motor drive circuit 39 of this embodiment constitutes a reel stop control means of the present invention.

  In addition, each switch and each circuit for generating an input signal that triggers the output of a control signal to each of the above-described circuits and peripheral devices are connected to the input unit of the microcomputer 30. As each switch and each circuit, there are a start switch 6S, stop switches 7LS, 7CS, 7RS, a maximum BET switch 13S, a C / P switch 14S, a medal sensor 22S, a reel position detection circuit 50, and a payout completion signal circuit 51. Note that the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS are collectively referred to as the stop switch 7S.

  The start switch 6S detects a player's start operation on the start lever 6 and outputs a start signal instructing the start of the game to the microcomputer 30.

  The stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS detect the player's stop operation on the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R, respectively, and stop the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R corresponding to the detected stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R. A stop signal to be commanded is output to the microcomputer 30. The stop switch 7S (7LS, 7CS, 7RS) of the present embodiment constitutes a stop operation detecting means of the present invention.

  The maximum BET switch 13 </ b> S detects a player's insertion operation (pressing operation) on the maximum BET button 13 and outputs a signal for instructing insertion of a medal from a credited medal to the microcomputer 30.

  The C / P switch 14S detects a player's switching operation on the C / P button 14, and outputs a signal for switching the credit mode or the payout mode to the microcomputer 30. When the credit mode is switched to the payout mode, a signal for instructing the payout of medals credited to the gaming machine 1 is output to the microcomputer 30.

  The medal sensor 22S detects medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 22 by the player's insertion operation, and outputs a signal indicating that a medal has been inserted to the microcomputer 30.

  The reel position detection circuit 50 detects a pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and generates a signal for detecting the position of the symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R.

  The payout completion signal circuit 51 indicates that the medal payout has been completed when the number of medals detected by the medal detection unit 40S (that is, the number of medals paid out from the hopper 40) reaches the designated number. A signal is generated to indicate

  The sub control circuit 70 performs various processes such as determination and execution of effect data based on various commands output from the main control circuit 60 such as a start command described later. The sub control circuit 70 does not input commands, information, or the like to the main control circuit 60, and communication is performed in one direction from the main control circuit 60 to the sub control circuit 70.

  The main peripheral devices whose operation is controlled by a control signal from the sub control circuit 70 include a liquid crystal display device 5 that displays an image on the liquid crystal display area 23, speakers 21L and 21R, LEDs 101a to 103a, and a display panel unit 110. There are LEDs 111 to 114 and infrared sensors 120L and 120R. The sub-control circuit 70 determines and displays an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 based on the determined effect data, determines and outputs the light emission patterns of the various LEDs 101a to 103a and 111 to 114, and the infrared sensors 120L and 120R. For example, the determination and output of the effect sound and the sound effect output from the speakers 21L and 21R are performed.

  Details of the configuration of the sub control circuit 70 in the present embodiment will be described later.

  In the gaming machine 1, when a signal for starting a game is output from the start switch 6S by a player's operation on the start lever 6 on condition that a medal is inserted, a control signal is output to the motor drive circuit 39, and the stepping motor Rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is started by driving control of 49L, 49C, and 49R (for example, excitation to each phase). At this time, the number of pulses output to the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is counted, and the counted value is set as a pulse counter in a predetermined area of the main RAM 33. In the gaming machine 1, when the “16” pulse is output, the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R move by one symbol. The number of symbols moved is counted, and the counted value is set in a predetermined area of the main RAM 33 as a symbol counter. That is, every time the pulse counter counts “16”, the symbol counter is updated by “1”. In addition, the symbol (refer FIG. 3) of the symbol position which the value of a symbol counter shows corresponds to the symbol located on the center line 8c. For example, when the symbol counter of the left reel 3L is “0”, “bell” at the symbol position “0” in the symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 3 is located on the center line 8c.

  The motor drive circuit 39 and the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R according to the present embodiment constitute a symbol variation unit according to the present invention.

  A reel index is obtained from the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R for each rotation and is output to the main CPU 31 via the reel position detection circuit 50. By the output of the reel index, the pulse counter and the symbol counter set in the main RAM 33 are cleared to “0”. In this way, the symbol position within one rotation range is specified for each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. The distance that each symbol moves by one symbol by the rotation of the reel is called one frame. That is, moving the symbol by one frame corresponds to updating the symbol counter by “1”.

  In order to associate the rotational positions of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reel, a symbol arrangement table is stored in the main ROM 32. This symbol arrangement table includes code numbers from “00” to “20” that are sequentially assigned at fixed rotation pitches of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with reference to the position where the reel index is output. The symbol codes for identifying the symbol types provided corresponding to the respective code numbers are associated with each other.

  When a start signal is output from the start switch 6S, a random number value is extracted by the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37. In the gaming machine 1, when the random value is extracted, it is stored in the random value storage area of the main RAM 33. Then, an internal winning combination is determined based on the random value stored in the random value storage area.

  After the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R have reached constant speed rotation, when a stop signal is output from the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS by a stop operation, based on the output stop signal and the determined internal winning combination, A control signal for stopping and controlling the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is output to the motor drive circuit 39. The motor drive circuit 39 drives and controls the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R, and stops the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  The gaming machine 1 stops the rotation of the reel 3 by drawing in the symbols related to the establishment of the internal winning combination for the maximum number of sliding frames, that is, four frames from the time when the stop operation is performed. Specifically, the gaming machine 1 determines whether or not there is a symbol related to the establishment of an internal winning combination within 4 frames after the stop operation is detected by the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS. When there is a symbol related to the establishment of an internal winning combination within four frames, the number of sliding symbols is determined so that the symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line, and the corresponding reel is stopped. In addition, in the case where a plurality of winning combinations are determined as internal winning combinations, the gaming machine 1 relates to an internal winning combination having a higher priority when there are a plurality of symbols related to establishment of the internal winning combination within 4 frames. The number of sliding symbols is determined so that the symbols are stopped and displayed on the active line.

  Basically, the first priority (highest priority) is a symbol combination related to replay, and the second priority is a symbol combination related to a small role. Next, the third highest priority is a combination of symbols related to the bonus. When the stop operation is detected by the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, 7RS, the symbol position corresponding to the symbol counter of the corresponding reel 3, that is, the symbol position at which the rotation of the reel 3 is stopped is set as “stop start position”. The symbol position obtained by adding the determined number of sliding symbols (numerical range “0” to “4”) to the stop start position, that is, the symbol position at which the rotation of the reel 3 is stopped is referred to as “scheduled stop position”. The number of sliding symbols is the amount of rotation of the reel 3 until the corresponding reel 3 stops rotating after the stop operation is detected by the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, 7RS. 4 ”.

  When the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is stopped, the display combination retrieval process, that is, the determination process of the formation / non-establishment of the combination is performed based on the combination of symbols displayed on the effective line. The search for the display combination is performed based on a later-described symbol combination table stored in the main ROM 32. In this symbol combination table, a symbol combination related to a display combination and a corresponding payout are set. The main CPU 31 of the present embodiment that performs such processing constitutes a winning determination means of the present invention.

  When it is determined by the display combination search that a combination of symbols related to winning is displayed, a control signal is output to the hopper driving circuit 41 and the hopper 40 is driven to pay out medals. At this time, the medal detection unit 40S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 40, and when the count value reaches the designated number, the payout completion signal circuit 51 outputs a signal indicating completion of the medal payout. . Thereby, a control signal is output to the hopper drive circuit 41, and the drive of the hopper 40 is stopped.

  When the credit mode is switched by the C / P switch 14S, if it is determined that the symbol combination related to winning is displayed, the payout amount corresponding to the symbol combination related to winning is displayed in the main RAM 33. Add to credit counter. Further, the number of medals paid out is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 70, and based on this, the number of medals paid out and the updated number of credits are displayed in the liquid crystal display area 23. Here, there is a case where a medal payout or a credit performed when a symbol combination related to winning is displayed is simply referred to as “payout”.

  Next, the circuit configuration of the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a circuit configuration of the sub control circuit 70 of the gaming machine 1.

  The sub-control circuit 70 performs control for performing effects related to games using video, sound, light, and the like. The sub control circuit 70 determines effect data and performs various effect processes based on various commands transmitted from the main control circuit 60 and input information from the selection switch 24S and the determination switch 25S. The sub control circuit 70 includes a sub CPU 71, a sub ROM 72, a sub RAM 73, a rendering processor 74, a drawing SDRAM 75 (including a frame buffer 76), a driver 77, an A / D converter 78, and an amplifier 79.

  The selection switch 24S detects a player's operation on the selection button 24 and moves a display (for example, an icon) indicating which item to be selected is displayed in a selected state displayed on a menu screen, for example. Is output to the sub CPU 71. In addition, the determination switch 25S detects the player's operation on the determination button 25, and outputs, for example, a signal indicating that the player has selected an item in the selected state to the sub CPU 71. That is, the player can select a desired item by pressing the selection button 24 on the menu screen or the like until the item to be selected is selected, and then pressing the enter button. Note that the selection switch 24S and the determination switch 25S of the present embodiment constitute a recording start operation detection unit and an information acquisition operation detection unit of the present invention.

  The sub CPU 71 performs display control of the liquid crystal display device 5, output control of the speakers 21 </ b> L and 21 </ b> R, light emission control of various LEDs 101 a to 103 a and 111 to 114, based on a program stored in the sub ROM 72. Specifically, the sub CPU 71 receives various commands from the main control circuit 60 and stores various information included in the commands in the sub RAM 73. All information in the main control circuit 60 is transmitted by a command, and the sub control circuit 70 can determine the state of the main control circuit 60 step by step. The sub CPU 71 executes the program while referring to the game state information, the internal winning combination information, etc. stored in the sub RAM 73, so that the liquid crystal display device 5, the speakers 21L and 21R, the various LEDs 101a to 103a, 111 to 114, etc. The content of the production to be performed by the production device is determined. Further, the sub CPU 71 controls the liquid crystal display device 5 via the rendering processor 74 and the driver 77 based on the determined effect data, and also outputs sounds output from the speakers 21L and 21R, and various LEDs 101a to 103a, 1111. The light emission of 114 is controlled. The upper panel LED 101a, the lower panel LED 102a, and the lower panel LED 103a are actually composed of a plurality of LEDs, and these are controlled by input / output processing of ports (not shown) provided individually. Is done. Therefore, light emission can be individually controlled by each port.

  Further, the sub CPU 71 executes a random number acquisition program stored in the sub ROM 72, thereby acquiring a random number value used when determining effect data and the like. However, when a random number generator and a sampling circuit are provided in the sub-control circuit 70 as in the main control circuit 60, this processing is not necessary.

  Further, the sub CPU 71 records game information indicating the contents of the game as will be described later, and based on the detection of an operation (for example, a request for using the game information providing service) for selecting the “game recording start” item. A two-dimensional code (including a case-specific code (game machine identification information) for identifying the game machine and other game machines, and a type number including the total number of game starts (login) since power-on ( The start time two-dimensional code 300) is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. Further, when an operation to select at least the “game record end” item is detected, the sub CPU 71 detects a case-specific code, a type number including the total number of game starts (logins) since power-on, and “game record start”. "A two-dimensional code including game information recorded from when an operation for selecting the item is detected until an operation for selecting the" game recording end "item is detected, and privilege information to be described later (2 for output) The dimension code 300) is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5.

  The sub CPU 71 of the present embodiment that executes such processing constitutes the recording means, start time display control means, and output time display control means of the present invention. The sub CPU 71 may delete the game information recorded so far based on the detection of the operation selected by the “game recording end” item.

  In addition, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is configured such that a predetermined event occurs accidentally during the provision of the game information providing service, and a player acquires a medal according to a result of challenging the predetermined event. Predetermined benefits not related are given. In other words, the sub CPU 71 determines a predetermined event (for example, a specified number of times) for giving a player a predetermined privilege not related to medal acquisition based on a predetermined generation condition being established during the provision of the game information providing service. Game). As the predetermined privilege, for example, a password for customization such as a character or a background image appearing on the standby screen of the portable terminal 400 or the rendering of the gaming machine 1 is given according to the result of the challenge. The sub CPU 71 of this embodiment configured to execute such processing constitutes an event generation unit of the present invention.

  Further, the sub CPU 71 calculates, for example, a cumulative value of points acquired when the player challenges a predetermined event, and a privilege for giving a bonus to the player according to the calculated cumulative value of points. Generate information. That is, the privilege provided to the player varies depending on the accumulated value of points corresponding to the internal winning combination won in each game performed during a predetermined event, for example. The sub CPU 71 of the present embodiment that executes such processing constitutes the point accumulating means and privilege information generating means of the present invention.

  Further, the sub CPU 71 causes the liquid crystal display device 5 to display a menu screen for inputting the customization password in response to a request from the player who has acquired the customization password as a predetermined privilege. For example, when an operation for selecting the “customization password input” item by the player is detected while the menu screen is displayed, the sub CPU 71 provides the player with an effect corresponding to the input of the customization password. That is, processing for customizing characters and the like is performed.

  Here, the input of the customization password by the player and the operation of selecting the game recording start may be the same operation. In other words, the game recording start may be selected by inputting the customization password.

  Details of the processing at the occurrence of a predetermined event during the provision (use) of this game information provision service will be described later.

  The sub ROM 72 has a program storage area for storing programs executed by the sub CPU 71 and a data storage area for storing various tables. The program storage area is based on the LED 101a˜ based on the inter-board communication process for controlling communication with the operating system, the device driver, and the main control circuit 60, the effect registration process for determining the content of the effect, and the registered LED data. 103a, LED control task for controlling light output by 111-114, voice control task for controlling sound output by speakers 21L, 21R based on registered sound data, based on registered animation data Then, a drawing control task for controlling video display by the liquid crystal display device 5 is stored. On the other hand, the data storage area is a table storage area for storing an effect lottery table, a drawing control data storage area for storing animation data such as character object data, and a voice control data storage area for storing sound data such as BGM and sound effects. And an LED control data storage area for storing a lighting pattern and the like.

  The sub RAM 73 is used as temporary work storage means when the sub CPU 71 executes each program. For example, the sub RAM 73 stores information such as commands transmitted from the main control circuit 60, effect data information, game state information, internal winning combination information, display combination information, various counters and various flags.

  Further, the sub RAM 73 stores game information, a type number (login count), a chassis specific code, data for customization corresponding to a predetermined privilege, and the like. A plurality of customization data are prepared according to the result of challenging a predetermined event (total point value), and each is associated with a customization password. The password for customization as a predetermined privilege and the standby screen of the portable terminal 400 are provided in a form attached to display data (for example, a web page) from the server device 500, for example, according to privilege information described later.

  The customization password may be managed as personal data on the server device 500 side. Further, the setting of the customization data and the customization password may be performed on the server device 500 side or may be performed on the gaming machine 1 side.

  In addition, the sub RAM 73 stores the specified number of games (specified number of games) selected by the player when a predetermined event occurs during the use of the game information providing service and points associated with the digestion of the game during the predetermined event. The privilege information generated based on at least the total point value is stored on condition that the cumulative value (total point value) and the prescribed number of games have been consumed.

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 71 causes the player to select one game number from among a plurality of game numbers set in advance as the specified game number, and wins in each game in which a predetermined event has occurred. Depending on the winning combination, the point value obtained is different. For example, if the winning internal winning combination is a specific internal winning combination (rare combination) with a low probability of winning among small roles, the point value that can be obtained in one game increases and is earned when the prescribed number of games is consumed The total point value that can be increased. That is, the content of the privilege that can be acquired changes depending on how many points are accumulated until the game of the specified number of games is consumed (however, in the description of this embodiment, a rare role such as a cherry role (more specifically, Will be described as a point having a predetermined value can be obtained only when the winning combination of cherries associated with the winning numbers 7, 8, 28 to 33, 40, 41 is won (see FIG. 12)).

  In addition, as a plurality of preset number of games, assuming that the number of games that can be consumed per unit time (1 hour) is about 500 games (G) to about 800 G, for example, 500 G, 600 G, 700 G, and 100 G increments It is prepared in. The sub CPU 71 of this embodiment constitutes the game number selection means of the present invention.

  The rendering processor 74 performs processing for displaying an image on the liquid crystal display device 5 based on an image display command received from the sub CPU 71. Data necessary for processing performed by the rendering processor 74 is expanded in the drawing SDRAM 75 at the time of activation. The rendering processor 74 generates image data by superimposing the image data developed on the drawing SDRAM 75 in order from the background image located at the rear to the image located at the front, and supplies the image data to the liquid crystal display device 5 via the driver 77. To do. As a result, an image corresponding to the effect data determined by the sub CPU 71 is displayed on the liquid crystal display area 23 by the liquid crystal display device 5.

  The drawing SDRAM 75 has two frame buffers 76 of a writing image data area and a display image data area. The writing image data area stores image data generated by the rendering processor 74 and displays a display image. The image data area stores image data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. The rendering processor 74 causes the liquid crystal display device 5 to sequentially display image data by alternately switching the frame buffers 76 (that is, switching banks).

  The A / D converter 78 converts the digital sound data selected by the sub CPU 71 based on the effect data into analog sound data, and transmits the analog sound data to the amplifier 79. The amplifier 79 amplifies the analog-format sound data received from the A / D converter 78 based on the volume adjusted by a volume adjustment knob (not shown) provided in the gaming machine 1, and the speakers 21L and 21R. Send to. As a result, sounds corresponding to the effect data determined by the sub CPU 71 are output from the speakers 21L and 21R.

  Next, the transition of the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG. The main gaming state managed by the main control circuit 60 includes a general gaming state, an RT1 gaming state, an RT2 gaming state, an RT3 gaming state, an RT4 gaming state, and a BB gaming state (a general term of BB1 gaming state to BB4 gaming state). Although not shown, there is an SB gaming state in which only one game coexists with other gaming states, an RB1 gaming state that operates in the BB1 gaming state to the BB3 gaming state, and an RB2 gaming state that operates in the BB4 gaming state.

  First, in the general gaming state, the SB spilled eyes (SB spilled eyes 1 to SB spilled eyes 12) are displayed on the active line, thereby transitioning to the RT1 gaming state. Next, in the RT1 gaming state, the raised one-step lip 1 is displayed on the active line, thereby transitioning to the RT2 gaming state. Next, in the RT2 gaming state, the two-step up lip (up two-step lip 1, up two-step lip 2) and the second up (up two to one up two) are displayed on the active line, so that RT3 Transition to the gaming state.

  Further, in the RT2 gaming state or the RT3 gaming state, the SB spilling eyes (SB spilling eyes 1 to SB spilling eyes 12) are displayed on the active line, thereby transitioning to the RT1 gaming state. In the RT1 gaming state to the RT3 gaming state, the push order bell failure (push order bell failure 1 to push order bell failure 4) is displayed on the active line, thereby transitioning to the general gaming state.

  In the general gaming state, the RT1 gaming state to the RT3 gaming state, the BB (BB1 to BB4) is determined as the internal winning combination, thereby transitioning to the RT4 gaming state. In the RT4 gaming state, BB (BB1 to BB4) is displayed, thereby transitioning to the BB gaming state. When a predetermined number (270 or 60) of medals are paid out in the BB gaming state, the state changes to the general gaming state.

  Next, an internal lottery table determination table stored in the main ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of an internal lottery table determination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  In the internal lottery table determination table, an internal lottery table used for determining an internal winning combination in an internal lottery process described later corresponding to a gaming state (on / off of each game state flag described later), and the number of lotteries And are stipulated. Thereby, for example, when only the SB gaming state flag and the RT1 gaming state flag are “1 (ON)”, “internal SB RT1 gaming state internal lottery table” is selected as the internal lottery table, “49” is selected.

  Next, an internal lottery table stored in the main ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12 shows an example of the general gaming state internal lottery table, RT1 gaming state internal lottery table to RT4 gaming state internal lottery table of the gaming machine 1 in this embodiment. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the internal lottery table for RB1 gaming state of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the internal lottery table for RB2 gaming state of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. Note that, in the internal lottery table for general gaming state during SB, the internal lottery table for RT1 gaming state during SB to the internal lottery table for RT4 gaming state during SB, the lottery value corresponding to the winning number “1” in FIG. The difference is only “1001”, not “”.

  The internal lottery table is a table used when performing internal lottery in an internal lottery process described later, that is, when determining an internal winning combination. In the internal lottery table, lottery values and data pointers are defined for each winning number. The lottery value is a numerical value used to determine the data pointer. There are two types of data pointers, a small combination / replay data pointer and a bonus data pointer, which correspond to one or a plurality of internal winning combinations.

  The right column of the winning number in the internal lottery table shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 shows an abbreviation of the internal winning combination corresponding to the data pointer. Further, on the right side of each of the internal lottery tables shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, symbols that can be stopped and displayed on the line connecting the upper stage, the line connecting the middle stage, or the line connecting the lower stage corresponding to the data pointer. The stop form is shown. For example, in the RB1 gaming state, when “25” is determined as the small role / replay data pointer, a stop operation is performed at a timing at which a don symbol can be stopped and displayed on the lower stage of the left reel 3L and the lower stage of the middle reel 3C. In this case, the don symbol is stopped and displayed at the lower stage of the left reel 3L and the lower stage of the middle reel 3C, but the stop operation is performed at a timing at which the don symbol can be stopped and displayed at the lower stage of the right reel 3R. Even if there is, the don symbol is not stopped and displayed in the lower stage of the right reel 3R. On the other hand, if “28” is determined as the small role / replay data pointer, the stop operation is performed at a timing at which a don symbol can be stopped and displayed on the lower stage of the left reel 3L, the lower stage of the middle reel 3C, and the lower stage of the right reel 3R. As a result, the don symbol is stopped and displayed on the line connecting the lower stages of the reels. In addition, in the stop form of the symbols aligned on the winning line in FIG. 13, “tempered losing” means that even if the stop operation is performed at a timing at which the don symbol can be stopped and displayed on the corresponding line, "Don symbol-Don symbol-Don symbol" means a stop type that is not stopped and displayed on a line connecting the upper stage of each reel, a line connecting the middle stage, and a line connecting the lower stage. On the other hand, “per Tempe” means that a stop operation is performed at a timing at which a don symbol can be stopped and displayed on the corresponding line, so that “don symbol-don symbol-don symbol” is a line connecting the upper stages of each reel, It means a stop form that is stopped and displayed on a line connecting the middle row or a line connecting the lower row.

  Next, a method for determining a data pointer using a lottery value, that is, an internal lottery method will be described. In the internal lottery, first, a random number value is extracted from a predetermined numerical range “0 to 65535”, and a lottery value corresponding to each winning number is sequentially subtracted from the extracted random number value and a digit is performed. This is done by determining whether or not. Digit is performed when the numerical value to be subtracted is smaller, in other words, when the result of subtraction is negative. For example, when the internal lottery table for the general gaming state is determined to be the internal lottery table, when the extracted random number value is “1500”, the main CPU 31 first corresponds to the winning number “1” from “1500”. The lottery value “1000” to be subtracted is subtracted. The subtraction result is “1500−1000 = 500”, which is positive. Next, the main CPU 31 subtracts the lottery value “2100” corresponding to the winning number “2” from the subtracted value “500”. The subtraction result is “500-2100 = −1600”, which is negative. Therefore, the main CPU 31 determines the winning number “2” as the internal winning combination, that is, “13” as the small combination / replay data pointer and “0” as the bonus data pointer. According to this internal lottery method, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the possibility that the data pointer of the corresponding winning number will be determined. The winning probability of each winning number is “the lottery value corresponding to each winning number / the number of all random values that may be extracted (“ 65536 ”)”.

  Note that various types of lottery performed using lottery values, which will be described later, are the same as those for determining the data pointer. That is, lottery values are defined in the various lottery tables in association with items (for example, winning numbers) that may be selected by lottery. Hereinafter, the various lottery methods based on the lottery value are the same as the internal lottery method, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the RT transition table will be described with reference to FIG. The RT transition table is a table used when a gaming state flag is updated in an RT control process to be described later. As shown in FIG. 15, the RT transition table defines a display combination and a control content for the game state flag correspondingly. Specifically, when the combination of symbols related to any one of push order bell failure 1 to push order bell failure 4 is stopped and displayed on the active line, all the game state flags are turned off. That is, the general gaming state is activated. In addition, when the combination of symbols related to any one of the SB spilled eyes 1 to 12 is stopped and displayed on the active line, the RT1 gaming state flag is turned on. In addition, when the combination of symbols related to the raising 1-step lip 1 is stopped and displayed on the active line, the RT2 gaming state flag is turned on. In addition, when the combination of symbols related to any one of the raising 2 stage lip 1, the raising 2 stage lip 2, and the second raising 1 to the second raising 3 is stopped on the active line, the RT3 gaming state flag is turned on. To do. In addition, push order bell failure 1-push order bell failure 4, SB spilled eyes 1-SB spilled eyes 12, raised 1 stage lip 1, raised 2 stage lip 1, raised 2 stage lip 2, raised 2 stage 1-raised 2nd stage 3 is a case where a predetermined combination is determined as an internal winning combination, and when a stop operation is performed according to a predetermined stop operation sequence, the stop operation sequence is different from the predetermined stop operation sequence. When the stop operation is performed, or when the stop operation is not performed at an appropriate timing, this is a display combination that may be stopped and displayed on the active line, details of which will be described later.

  Next, the bonus internal winning combination determining table and the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determining table stored in the main ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a bonus internal winning combination determination table for the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determining table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the bonus internal winning combination determination table and the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determination table are collectively referred to as an internal winning combination determination table.

  The internal winning combination determination table is a table used when determining an internal winning combination based on a data pointer in an internal lottery process described later. Each winning combination determined as an internal winning combination corresponding to the data pointer is defined in the internal winning combination determination table. Each combination corresponds to each bit stored in an internal winning combination storage area described later. Therefore, it is possible to identify which combination is an internal winning combination by determining which bit in the internal winning combination storing area is “1”.

  In the bonus internal winning combination determination table shown in FIG. 16, internal winning combinations corresponding to bonus data pointers “1” to “5” are defined. When “5” is determined as the bonus data pointer, the combination of symbols related to the SB is stopped and displayed on the active line depending on whether or not the stop operation is performed in a predetermined stop order, or The combination of symbols related to any of SB spilled eyes 1 to SB spilled eyes 12 is stopped and displayed on the effective line.

  In the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determining table shown in FIG. 17, internal winning combinations corresponding to the small winning combination / replay data pointers “1” to “31” are defined. For example, when “1” is determined as the small combination / replay data pointer, the normal lip 1 and the raised one-step lip 1 are internal winning combinations.

  When “2” is determined as the small role / replay data pointer, the first stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L, the second stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, and the second stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R. Only when the 3 stop operation is performed, the combination of symbols related to the raised 1-step lip 1 is stopped and displayed on the active line. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed in the other stop operation order, the symbol combination related to the normal lip 1 is stopped and displayed on the active line. Also for the small role / replay data pointers “3” to “6”, a stop operation sequence in which the combination of symbols related to the raised 1-step lip 1 is stopped and displayed on the active line is determined in advance. When the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order other than the above, the symbol combination related to the normal lip 1 is stopped and displayed on the active line. Specifically, when the small role / replay data pointer “3” is determined, the first stop operation for the left reel 3L, the second stop operation for the right reel 3R, and the middle reel 3C Only when the third stop operation is performed, the combination of symbols related to the one-step lip 1 is stopped and displayed on the active line. When the small role / replay data pointer “4” is determined, the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, the second stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L, and the third stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R.

When the small role / replay data pointer “11” is determined, the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3L, the second stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, and the third stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L. The combination of symbols related to any one of the two-step lift 1, the two-step lift 2, the second rise 1, the second rise 2, and the second rise 3 is stopped on the active line. .

  When “12” is determined as the small role / replay data pointer, the symbol related to the bell is stopped and displayed in the middle of the middle reel 3C regardless of the stop operation order. When “13” is determined as the small role / replay data pointer, the first stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L, the second stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, and the third stop is performed on the right reel 3R. Only when the operation is performed, the symbol related to the bell is stopped and displayed on the middle stage of the middle reel 3C. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed in the other stop operation order, the combination of symbols related to any one of the push order bell failure 1 to the push order bell failure 4 is stopped and displayed on the active line. When the symbol related to the bell is stopped and displayed on the middle stage of the middle reel 3C, any one of the center line 8c, the cross-up line 8a, and the cross-down line 8e indicates "Bell 1 symbol (Bell 2 symbol)-Bell 1 symbol-" "Bell 1 symbol" is stopped and displayed. Further, when the combination of symbols relating to any of the push order bell failure 1 to the push order bell failure 4 is stopped and displayed on the active line, the lower stage of the left reel 3L, the lower stage of the middle reel 3C, and the lower stage of the right reel 3R. "Bell 1 symbol (Bell 2 symbol)-Bell 1 symbol-Bell 1 symbol" is stopped and displayed.

  As for the small role / replay data pointers “14” to “17”, a stop operation order in which symbols related to the bell are stopped and displayed in the middle of the middle reel 3C is determined in advance, and stop operations other than this stop operation order are performed. When the stop operation is performed in order, the combination of symbols related to any one of the push order bell failure 1 to the push order bell failure 4 is stopped and displayed on the active line. Specifically, when the small role / replay data pointer “14” is determined, the first stop operation for the left reel 3L, the second stop operation for the right reel 3R, and the middle reel 3C Only when the third stop operation is performed, the symbol related to the bell is stopped and displayed on the middle stage of the middle reel 3C. When the small role / replay data pointer “15” is determined, the symbol related to the bell is stopped and displayed on the middle stage of the middle reel 3C only when the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C. . When the small / replay data pointer “16” is determined, the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R, the second stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L, and the third stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C. The symbol related to the bell is stopped and displayed on the middle stage of the middle reel 3C only when the above is performed. When the small role / replay data pointer “17” is determined, the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R, the second stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L, and the third stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C. The symbol related to the bell is stopped and displayed on the middle stage of the middle reel 3C only when the above is performed.

  In the internal lottery table, when a small role / replay data pointer whose abbreviation suggests a stop operation order (push order) for the reels is determined, the suggested push order is a so-called correct push order, When the stop operation is performed in the pushing order, each reel 3 is stopped so that the player is advantageous. For example, when the small role / replay data pointer “2” (abbreviation “left middle right bell”) is determined, the first stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L, and the second stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C. Only when the third stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R, the symbol related to the bell is stopped and displayed on the middle stage of the middle reel 3C (payout number: 4 sheets × 3 lines = 12 sheets), and other presses are performed. If it is in order, the symbol related to the bell is stopped and displayed on the lower stage of the middle reel 3C (paid-out number: 4 sheets × 1 line = 4 sheets). The small role / replay data pointers whose abbreviations indicate the stop operation order (pushing order) for the reels are “2” to “11” and “13” to “17”.

  Next, the symbol combination table stored in the main ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the symbol combination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  In the symbol combination table, a combination of symbols related to the privilege display displayed on the active line or a combination of symbols related to the transition of the gaming state, data indicating a display combination corresponding to the symbol combination, and a storage area type , And the number of payouts. The data indicating the display combination is any one of a display combination storage area 1 to a display combination storage area 7 (hereinafter, the display combination storage area 1 to the display combination storage area 7 are collectively referred to as a display combination storage area). Is stored in the data. Further, in which display combination storage area the data is stored is defined by the storage area type.

  In the symbol combination table, BB1 to BB4, SB, normal lip 1, raised 1 stage lip 1, raised 2 stage lip 1, raised 2 stage lip 2, control lip 1 to control lip 3, bell, ice 1 Cherry 1-Cherry 12, Control role 1-Control role 3, BB middle role 1-BB middle role 5, Raise 2-1, Raise 2, Push order bell failure 1-Push order bell failure 4, Spilled eyes 1 to SB spilled eyes 12 are defined.

  For example, the normal lip 1 is established by displaying “replay symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol” on the active line. When any of the various replays (normal lip 1, raising 1-step lip 1, raising 2-step lip 1, raising 2-step lip 2, control lip 1 to control lip 3) is established, re-playing is performed in the next game. Is called. That is, the same number of medals as the number of inserted coins in a game in which any one of various replays is established is automatically inserted in the next game without being based on the player's insertion operation. Thereby, the player can play the next game without consuming medals. Here, the above-mentioned medal payout and re-game are examples of giving game value. The bell is established by displaying “ANY symbol-Bell 1 symbol-ANY symbol” on the active line. Note that “ANY” represents any symbol.

  Next, a bonus operation time table stored in the main ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of the bonus operation time table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The bonus operating time table is a table used when setting conditions for ending the BB gaming state and the RB gaming state. In the bonus operation time table, end conditions relating to the BB1 gaming state to the BB4 gaming state, the RB1 gaming state, and the RB2 gaming state are defined. Specifically, in the bonus operation time table, “270” is defined for the value of the bonus end number counter as the end condition of the BB1 gaming state to the BB3 gaming state. Further, “60” is defined for the value of the bonus end number counter as an end condition of the BB4 gaming state. In the BB1 gaming state to the BB3 gaming state, the RB1 gaming state operates, and in the BB4 gaming state, the RB2 gaming state operates. Also, in the bonus operation time table, “12” and “8” are defined for the value of the number of possible games and the number of possible winnings, respectively, as the RB1 gaming state and RB2 gaming state end conditions.

  Next, the pull-in priority order table stored in the main ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of the pull-in priority table A of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment, and FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of the pull-in priority table B of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. is there. Hereinafter, the pull-in priority table A and the pull-in priority table B are collectively referred to as a pull-in priority table.

  When multiple winning combinations are determined as internal winning combinations, when the multiple winning combinations can be drawn on the active line, the drawing priority order table gives priority to the symbol related to any combination on the active line. Specifies whether to stop. As described above, basically, replay from the highest priority order, small role (the higher the payout number, the higher the priority order. In the case of JAC1 (seven in BB), priority is given), and bonus order It has become. However, in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of replay, and the priority order of each replay differs depending on the conditions. Therefore, a pull-in priority table A and a pull-in priority table B are provided for each condition. The pull-in priority order table A is a table that is used during normal times (including during BB) or so-called correct push order answer. > Normal Lip 1> Control Lip 1-Control Lip 3 On the other hand, the pull-in priority table B is a table used at the time of so-called incorrect push order, and the priority of each replay is normal lip 1> up 2 step lip 1, up 2 step lip 2, up 1 step lip 1> control. Lip 1-control Lip 3 is in this order.

  Although not shown, when two or more combinations related to the transition of the RT gaming state simultaneously become display combinations, it is determined in advance which one is to be prioritized. In the present embodiment, in order of the higher priority, the two-step raising lip 1, the raising two-step lip 2, the raising second step 1-the second raising step 3> the raising one-step lip 1> SB spilling point 1-SB spilling point 12> Push order bell failure 1-push order bell failure 4

  Next, the stop table stored in the main ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of a stop table for the first stop of the middle reel when the small role / replay data pointer “15” is won. The stop table defines line data and stop data corresponding to symbol positions “0” to “20”. The symbol position is a symbol position located in the middle of the symbol display area when a stop operation is detected, and is a symbol position at which rotation of the reel starts to be stopped.

At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that a digit has been made, the main CPU 31 obtains the small role / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer based on the winning number (step S70), and proceeds to the processing of step S71. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that no digit has been placed, it then subtracts “1” from the number of lotteries and adds “1” to the winning number (step S67). Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the number of lotteries is “0” (step S68).

  When determining that the number of lotteries is “0” in the process of step S68, the main CPU 31 determines the small role / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer to be “0” (step S69). Transition to processing. On the other hand, when determining that the number of lotteries is not “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S64. Thereafter, the main CPU 31 repeats the processing from step S64 to step S68 until the number of lotteries becomes “0” or a digit is made.

  After completing the processing of step S69 or step S70, the main CPU 31 refers to the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determination table (see FIG. 17), and determines the internal winning combination based on the small winning combination / replay data pointer. A combination is acquired (step S71). Next, the main CPU 31 updates the internal winning combination storing area in accordance with the internal winning combination (step S72).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the carryover combination storage area is “00000000” (step S73). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the carryover combination storage area is not “00000000”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S80. On the other hand, when determining that the carryover combination storage area is “00000000”, the main CPU 31 refers to the bonus internal winning combination determination table (see FIG. 16) and acquires the internal winning combination based on the bonus data pointer. (Step S74).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not SB is an internal winning combination (step S75). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the SB is an internal winning combination, the main CPU 31 updates the internal winning combination storing area according to the SB (step S76), and proceeds to the processing of step S80. On the other hand, when determining that SB is not an internal winning combination, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not BB is an internal winning combination (step S77).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in step S77 that BB is not an internal winning combination, the main CPU 31 proceeds to step S80. On the other hand, when determining that BB is an internal winning combination, the main CPU 31 updates the carryover combination storing area according to BB (step S78), turns on the RT4 gaming state flag (step S79), and performs the process of step S80. Migrate to

  When the main CPU 31 determines that the carryover combination storage area is not “00000000” in the process of step S73, and determines that BB is not the internal winning combination in the process of step S77, the process of steps S76 and S79. Then, the logical sum of the carryover combination storage area and the internal winning combination storage area 1 is calculated, and the result is stored in the internal winning combination storage area 1 (step S80).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not it is in the RB2 gaming state (step S81). When the main CPU 31 determines that it is not in the RB2 gaming state, it ends the internal lottery process. On the other hand, when determining that the main CPU 31 is in the RB2 gaming state, the main CPU 31 performs a lock lottery to win with a probability of 1/64 (step S82). Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the result of the lock lottery is a win (step S83). If the main CPU 31 is a win, the main CPU 31 turns on the lock flag (step S84) and ends the internal lottery process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the result of the lock lottery is not winning, the internal lottery process is ended as it is.

  The main CPU 31 performs lottery of an internal winning combination by repeatedly executing the processes of steps S64 to S68 in the internal lottery process. Specifically, the main CPU 31 sequentially subtracts the lottery value from the extracted random number value, thereby obtaining the small role / replay data pointer and bonus data pointer corresponding to the winning number when the digit is placed. The internal winning combination is determined based on the determined data pointers and the internal winning combination determination table. Further, in this embodiment, the lock lottery that wins with a probability of 1/64 in the RB2 gaming state is performed, but the lock lottery is performed in the normal state (general gaming state, RT1 gaming state to RT3 gaming state). Also good. Further, the lock lottery has a high winning probability when a specific small combination (for example, a small combination with a data pointer for small combination replay of “18” to “22”) or a bonus combination (BB1 to BB4) is won internally. It is good also as performing lottery by setting a winning probability as follows.

Next, the main CPU 31 transmits a reel stop command (step S109). The reel stop command includes information such as stop reel type information indicating which reel has stopped, stop start position information indicating the stop start position, and slip frame number information indicating the number of slide frames.

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the symbol arrangement table (see FIG. 3), acquires a symbol code based on the stop reel, the planned stop position, and the gaming state, and stores it in the symbol storage area (step S110).

  Finally, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not there is a stop button whose operation is valid (step S111). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that there is no stop button for which the operation is effective, the main CPU 31 ends the reel stop control process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that there is a stop button whose operation is valid, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S103. Thereafter, the main CPU 31 repeats the processing from step S103 to step S111 until it is determined that there is no stop button for which the operation is valid.

  Next, the display combination search process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 54 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the display combination search process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 clears the display combination storing area (step S121).

  Next, the main CPU 31 designates the top address of the symbol storage area (step S122). Specifically, the main CPU 31 designates an address corresponding to the center line 8c as the head address when the gaming state is a gaming state other than the RB gaming state, and RB when the gaming state is the RB gaming state. The address corresponding to the middle special line 8f is designated as the head address.

  Next, the main CPU 31 designates the head address of the symbol combination table (see FIG. 18) (step S123). Specifically, the main CPU 31 designates an address corresponding to BB1 as the head address.

  Next, the main CPU 31 compares the symbol combination defined in the symbol combination table with the symbol combination stored in the symbol storage area (step S124).

  Next, as a result of the comparison in the process of step S124, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the symbol combination specified in the symbol combination table matches the symbol combination stored in the symbol storage area ( Step S125). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the symbol combination defined in the symbol combination table does not match the symbol combination stored in the symbol storage area, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S129, When it is determined that they match, data indicating the storage area type and the display combination is acquired from the symbol combination table (step S126).

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the logical combination of the display combination storage area corresponding to the acquired storage area type and the data indicating the acquired display combination in the display combination storage area (step S127).

  Next, the main CPU 31 acquires the number of payouts from the symbol combination table and adds it to the payout number counter (step S128).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S125 that the symbol combination specified in the symbol combination table does not match the symbol combination stored in the symbol storage area, or ends the process of step S128. Then, an address corresponding to the next combination in the symbol combination table is designated (step S129).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not an end code is stored at the address designated in the process of step S129 (step S130). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the end code is not stored, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S124. On the other hand, when determining that the end code is stored, the main CPU 31 then searches for all the effective lines, that is, whether or not the processes of steps S124 to S130 have been performed for all the effective lines. A determination is made (step S131).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S131 that all active lines have been searched, the main CPU 31 ends the display combination search process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that all the effective lines have not been searched, the main CPU 31 then designates an address corresponding to the next effective line in the symbol storage area (step S132), and the process proceeds to step S123.

At this time, if the main CPU 31 determines that the BB is being carried over, it terminates the RT control process. On the other hand, when determining that the BB is not being carried over, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the BB is being carried out (step S162). Specifically, it is determined whether or not any BB gaming state flag is on.

  When the main CPU 31 determines in step S162 that the BB is being performed, the main CPU 31 ends the RT control process. On the other hand, when determining that the BB is not in progress, the main CPU 31 refers to the RT transition table (see FIG. 15), and updates it when it is necessary to update the gaming state flag based on the display combination (step S163). ), The RT control process is terminated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 56, the bonus end check process will be described. FIG. 56 is a flowchart of the bonus end check process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not BB is in progress (step S141). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the BB is not in progress, the main CPU 31 turns off the SB gaming state flag (step S142) and ends the bonus end check process. On the other hand, when determining that the BB is in progress, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the bonus end number counter is “0” (step S143).

  When determining that the value of the bonus end number counter is “0”, the main CPU 31 performs a bonus end time process (step S144). Specifically, the BB gaming state flag and the RB gaming state flag that are on are turned off. Next, the main CPU 31 transmits a bonus end command (step S145), and ends the bonus end check process.

  On the other hand, when determining that the value of the bonus end number counter is not “0”, the main CPU 31 subtracts “1” from the value of the possible game number counter (step S146), and whether or not the display combination is a small combination Is determined (step S147). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is not a small combination, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S149. On the other hand, when determining that the display combination is a small combination, the main CPU 31 subtracts “1” from the value of the winning possible number counter (step S148), and proceeds to the processing of step S149.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the winning possible number counter or the value of the possible gaming number counter is “0” (step S149). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that neither the value of the winning possible number counter or the value of the possible gaming number counter is “0”, the main CPU 31 ends the bonus end check process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the winning possible number counter or the value of the possible gaming number counter is “0”, the main CPU 31 then performs RB end time processing (step S150) and ends the bonus end check processing. . In the RB end process, a process such as turning off the RB gaming state flag that is turned on is performed.

  Next, the bonus operation check process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 57 is a flowchart of the bonus operation check process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the display combination is BB (any one of BB1 to BB4) (step S171). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is not BB, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S174. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is BB, the main CPU 31 performs a bonus operation process (step S172). In this bonus operation time process, the bonus operation time table (see FIG. 19) is referred to, the game state flag is turned on and the value is set in the bonus end number counter according to the game state to be operated. Next, the main CPU 31 turns off the RT4 gaming state flag, clears the carryover combination storage area (step S173), transmits a bonus start command (step S176), and ends the bonus operation check process. The bonus start command includes information indicating the type of bonus to be started.

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S171 that the display combination is not BB, the main CPU 31 then determines whether or not the display combination is SB (step S174). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is not SB, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S177. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is SB, it performs a bonus operation process (step S175). In the bonus operation time process, the bonus operation time table (see FIG. 19) is referred to and the SB game state flag is turned on. Next, the main CPU 31 transmits a bonus start command (step S176), and ends the bonus operation check process.

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S174 that the display combination is not SB, it next determines whether or not the display combination is replay (step S177). At this time, when determining that the display combination is not replay, the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation check process. On the other hand, when determining that the display combination is replay, the main CPU 31 copies the value of the insertion number counter to the automatic insertion number counter (step S178), and ends the bonus operation check process. When a value is set in the automatic insertion number counter, in the process of step S3 in the next game, the number of medals corresponding to the value is automatically inserted (the player's medal is not reduced).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 58, an interrupt process controlled by the main CPU will be described. FIG. 58 is a diagram showing a flowchart of an interrupt process under the control of the main CPU performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment. Further, the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU is an interrupt process that occurs every predetermined cycle (1.1173 milliseconds in this embodiment).

  First, the main CPU 31 interrupts the program being executed before calling the interrupt processing under the control of the main CPU, and saves the address indicating the interrupted position and the values of various registers in a predetermined area of the main RAM 33. (Step S181). This is because when the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU is completed, the address indicating the interrupted position of the saved program and the values of various registers are restored, and the program is continuously executed from the point of interruption. It is.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs input port check processing (step S182). Specifically, the main CPU 31 checks a signal from each switch such as the maximum BET switch 13S.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a reel control process (step S183). Specifically, the main CPU 31 starts rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and rotates them at a constant speed when there is a reel rotation start request in the reset interrupt process (see FIG. 49). Take control. Further, when the planned stop position is determined by determining the number of sliding frames in the reel stop control process (see FIG. 53), the main CPU 31 indicates the value of the symbol counter of the corresponding reel indicating the planned stop position. When the value becomes the same as the value, control is performed to stop the reel. For example, when the value indicating the planned stop position is “4”, the main CPU 31 performs control for stopping the corresponding reel when the value of the symbol counter becomes “4”.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a lamp drive control process (step S184). Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the value saved in the main RAM 33 in the process of step S181 and restores the register (step S185). When this process ends, the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU is ended, and the program interrupted by the occurrence of the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU is continuously executed.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a command of a type different from the previously received command has been received (step S303). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that a command of a type different from the previously received command has been received, the sub CPU 71 stores the message in the message queue based on the received command (step S304). Here, the message queue is a mechanism for exchanging information between processes. In the present embodiment, the game information is stored as a message in the message queue by the process of step S304, and the effect registration process is performed. Passing game information. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that a command of the same type as the previously received command has been received, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S301.

  Next, the effect registration process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, FIG. 60 is a figure which shows the flowchart of the effect registration process of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 extracts a message from the message queue (step S311). Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not there is a message in the message queue (step S312). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that there is no message in the message queue, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S315. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that there is a message in the message queue, it copies the game information from the message to the sub RAM 73 (step S313), and then performs effect content determination processing (step S314).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 registers animation data (step S315). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 registers animation data based on the effect data registered in the effect content determination process. Thereby, an image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. That is, the sub CPU 71 transmits an image display command to the rendering processor 74 based on the effect data determined in the effect content determination process. Based on the received image display command, the rendering processor 74 selects appropriate image data from the image data developed in the drawing SDRAM 75, determines the display position and size of the image data, and determines the image data. Data is stored in one frame buffer 76 provided in the drawing SDRAM 75. The rendering processor 74 performs a bank switching process for switching the display image data area and the write image data area in the frame buffer area every predetermined period (1/30 second). In the bank switching process, the rendering processor 74 outputs the image data written in the write image data area to the liquid crystal display device 5, replaces the display image data area with the write image data area, and then displays the next image to be displayed. Write data.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 registers sound data (step S316). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 registers sound data based on the effect data registered in the effect content determination process. Thereby, a sound is output from the speakers 21L and 21R. Next, the sub CPU 71 registers LED data (step S317). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 registers LED data based on the effect data registered in the effect content determination process. Accordingly, the various LEDs 101a to 103a and 111 to 114 are turned on or off. When this process ends, the sub CPU 71 returns to the process of step S311.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 61, the effect content determination process will be described. FIG. 61 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the effect content determination process of the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a start command has been received (step S351). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the start command has not been received, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S354. On the other hand, when determining that the start command has been received, the sub CPU 71 performs a start command reception process (step S352), registers the start effect data (step S353), and ends the effect content determination process.

  Next, when the sub CPU 71 determines that a start command has not been received in the process of step S351, it then determines whether a reel stop command has been received (step S354). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the reel stop command has not been received, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S357. On the other hand, when determining that the reel stop command has been received, the sub CPU 71 performs a billy get challenge determination process (step S355), and registers the effect data at the time of stop according to the type of the operation stop button (step S355). S356), the effect content determination process is terminated.

  Next, when determining that the reel stop command has not been received in the process of step S354, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not a display command has been received (step S357). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the display command has not been received, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S359. On the other hand, when determining that the display command has been received, the sub CPU 71 performs display command reception processing (step S358), and ends the effect content determination processing.

  Next, when the sub CPU 71 determines that a display command has not been received in the process of step S357, it then determines whether a BET command has been received (step S359). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the BET command has not been received, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S361. On the other hand, when determining that the BET command has been received, the sub CPU 71 registers the effect data for the BET according to the number of inserted sheets (step S360), and ends the effect content determination process.

  Next, when determining that the BET command has not been received in the process of step S359, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not a bonus start command has been received (step S361). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the bonus start command has not been received, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S363. On the other hand, when determining that the bonus start command has been received, the sub CPU 71 registers the bonus start time effect data (step S362), and ends the effect content determination process.

  Next, when the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S361 that a bonus start command has not been received, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not a bonus end command has been received (step S363). At this time, when determining that the bonus end command has not been received, the sub CPU 71 ends the effect content determination process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the bonus end command has been received, the sub CPU 71 performs a bonus end command reception process (step S364), registers bonus end time effect data (step S365), and ends the effect content determination process. Let

  Next, the start command reception process will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 62 and 63 are flowcharts of the start command reception process according to this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not it is in BB (BB1 gaming state to BB4 gaming state) (step S381). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that BB is in progress, it performs BB processing (step S382), and proceeds to the processing of step S400. On the other hand, when it is determined that the BB is not in progress, it is determined whether or not the BB carryover flag is on (step S383). The BB carryover flag is a flag that is turned on from the next game in which any of BB (BB1 to BB4) is internally won to the game in which the internally won BB is determined as a display combination. When the sub CPU 71 determines that the BB carryover flag is on, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the processing of step S400. Processing is performed (step S384).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 refers to the navigation mode transition lottery table A (see FIG. 29) and performs a navigation mode transition lottery based on the current navigation mode, data pointer, and the like (step S385).

  The “navigation mode” includes a navigation mode 0 to a navigation mode 4. Navi means notifying the player of information that would be advantageous to the player. The period during which navigation is performed is referred to as AT (assist time), and the transition of the navigation mode from 0 to any one of 1 to 4 is referred to as AT winning (or ART winning).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the game is a BB winning game (whether BB (BB1 to BB4) is won in the current game) (step S386). If it is not a BB winning game, the process proceeds to step S388. On the other hand, in the case of a BB winning game, the navigation mode transition lottery table B (see FIG. 30) is referred to, and the navigation mode transition is performed based on the current navigation mode, bonus data pointer, and presence / absence of the effect game. A lottery is performed (step S387).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation mode has shifted from 0 to 1 as a result of the navigation mode transition lottery in the process of step S385 or the process of step S387 (step S388). At this time, if the navigation mode has not shifted from 0 to 1 to 4, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the process of step S392. On the other hand, if the navigation mode has shifted from 0 to 1-4, Time processing is performed (step S389), and it is determined whether the game is a BB winning game (step S390). If the sub CPU 71 is not a BB winning game, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S400. On the other hand, in the case of BB winning game, the navigation game state transition standby number lottery table (see FIG. 32) is referred to, and the navigation game state transition standby number is determined and set in the navigation game state transition standby counter (step S391), the process proceeds to step S400.

  Here, the navigation game state includes a navigation game state 0 to a navigation game state 3, navigation is not performed in the navigation game state 0, and navigation is performed in the navigation game state 1 to navigation game state 3. Further, when the navigation mode shifts from 0 to 1 to 4, the navigation game state also shifts from 0 to 1 or 2. At this time, there is a case where the transition is made immediately, or there is a case where the transition is made after a predetermined number of games (navigation game state transition standby number) has elapsed. In the navigation game state 1 or the navigation game state 3, the value of the navigation game number counter is not subtracted, and in the navigation game state 2, the value of the navigation game number counter is subtracted. The number of remaining games in the navigation game states 1 to 3 is managed by the navigation game number counter and the navigation set number counter. Even when the navigation game number counter is changed from 1 to 0, the navigation set number counter is 1 or more. Then, 50 is set in the navigation game number counter.

  Returning to the flowchart, if the sub CPU 71 determines in step S388 that the navigation mode has not shifted from 0 to 1 to 4, then the navigation game state transition standby counter is 1 or more. Is discriminated (step S392). If the navigation game state transition standby counter is 1 or more, the sub CPU 71 performs a standby state navigation game state transition process (step S393), and proceeds to the process of step S400. On the other hand, if the navigation game state transition standby counter is not 1 or more, it is determined whether or not the navigation game state is 1 (step S394).

  In the case of the navigation game state 1, the sub CPU 71 performs a navigation game state transition process (step S395) during the navigation game state 1, and proceeds to the process of step S400. On the other hand, if it is not the navigation game state 1, it is then determined whether or not it is the navigation game state 2 (step S396). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 is in the navigation game state 2, the sub CPU 71 performs a navigation game state transition process (step S397) during the navigation game state 2 and proceeds to the process of step S400. On the other hand, if it is not the navigation game state 2, it is then determined whether or not it is the navigation game state 3 (step S398). At this time, in the case of the navigation game state 3, the sub CPU 71 performs a navigation game state transition process (step S399) during the navigation game state 3, and proceeds to the process of step S400. On the other hand, if it is not the navigation game state 3, the process proceeds to step S400.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 performs a billy get challenge lottery process (step S400). The billy get challenge is an event that is performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Specifically, the billy get challenge is performed when a billy get challenge effect (an effect of instructing to select left or right. For example, “select left or right” is displayed in the liquid crystal display area 23). Until the player performs the third stop operation, the player holds his / her hand in the vicinity of either the left selection panel 151L or the right selection panel 151R so as to be detected by the infrared sensors 120L and 120R (selection operation). It is done by). At this time, when the correct answer (left, right, both) determined by the billy get challenge correct answer lottery performed in advance matches the right and left selected by the player (if both are correct, it is determined that they are the same) , Billy get challenge is successful, navigation mode will rise. Even if the player does not hold any hand, if the winning is determined by lottery when no billy get challenge is selected in advance, it is considered that the billy get challenge is successful. If the player holds his / her hand in a different direction from the correct answer, even if he / she wins a lottery when no billy get challenge is selected, the billy get challenge fails. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the selection operation has been performed before the third stop operation is performed. For example, the second stop operation is performed until the first stop operation is performed. It may be determined whether or not the selection operation has been performed until it is performed or until a predetermined time elapses. Further, the determination as to whether or not the selection operation has been performed can be arbitrarily set, for example, after the start operation has been performed and the first stop operation has been performed. That is, the period for determining whether or not the selection operation has been performed can be an arbitrary period in one unit game (the period in which steps S1 to S18 are performed), or a plurality of units. An arbitrary period over the game (for example, from the start operation of a certain unit game to the third stop operation of the next unit game) can be used.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation game state is 1 to 3 and the pushing order is an internal winning combination (step S401). At this time, if the navigation game state is 1 to 3 and the pushing order is an internal winning combination, the sub CPU 71 performs navigation effect data (a navigation for establishing a role that is advantageous to the player). The effect data to be performed) is registered (step S402), and the process at the time of receiving the start command is terminated. In other cases, the process at the time of receiving the start command is terminated as it is.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 64, the processing during BB will be described. FIG. 64 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the BB processing in the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not it is in the BB4 gaming state (step S421). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 is in the BB4 gaming state, the sub CPU 71 performs lottery processing during BB4 (step S422), and ends the processing during BB. On the other hand, if not in the BB4 gaming state, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not to change the navigation mode based on the data pointer, and updates the navigation mode according to the determination result (step S423). Specifically, if the small / replay data pointer is 28 to 31 (the middle middle dong, the bottom tempo of the dong, the top tempo of the dong, the middle tempo of the dong), the navigation mode is increased by 1 (however, The navigation mode 4 is the upper limit), otherwise the navigation mode is left as it is. Although not shown, the sub CPU 71 registers don-matched effect data when the don symbols are aligned in the upper, middle, or lower stages. Further, in the process of step S423, the navigation mode may be increased by a plurality of stages when a specific condition is satisfied. As specific conditions, for example, 31 of 28 to 31 is determined as the small role / replay data pointer, or 28 to 31 is determined as the small role / replay data pointer. For example, it may be necessary to line up a specific line.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 refers to the navigation game state 3 addition game number lottery table C (see FIG. 36), and determines the number of navigation game state 3 addition games according to the current navigation mode and the data pointer for small role / replay. A lottery is performed (step S424). Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not five or more games have been won by the lottery (step S425). At this time, if 5 or more games are not won (ie, 0 game), the sub CPU 71 ends the BB in-process. On the other hand, if five or more games are won, the sub CPU 71 then refers to the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode lottery table C (see FIG. 40) and sets the current navigation mode, the small role / replay data pointer. In response, the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode is lottery (step S426).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 associates the number of navigation game state 3 addition games won in the process of step S424 and the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode determined in the process of step S426 with each other, and navigates the navigation on the sub RAM 73. Store in the game state 3 information storage area (step S427). The navigation game state 3 information storage area stores a maximum of 32 combinations of the number of navigation game state 3 addition games and the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode. The stored information is processed by FIFO (First In, First Out). The number of navigation game state 3 addition games and the number of combinations of the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode stored in the navigation game state 3 information storage area are displayed in the liquid crystal display area 23 so that the player can grasp them. . Next, the navigation game state 3 transition flag is turned on (step S428), and the processing during BB is ended. The navigation game state 3 transition flag is a flag indicating whether information is stored in the navigation game state 3 information storage area (ON when stored).

  Note that the number of navigation game state 3 addition games stored in the navigation game state 3 information storage area and the number of sets of the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode may be notified only in the case of the navigation game state 2. Further, the number of groups stored in the navigation game state 3 information storage area may be notified as it is (that is, “5” if there are 5 groups), or the number of groups stored in the navigation game state 3 information storage area. It is good also as notifying some. For example, when the don-match effect data described later is registered, or when the billy get challenge success effect data described later is registered during the BB4 game state, the navigation game state 3 is always added to the navigation game state 3 information storage area. Since the number of games and the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode are always stored, it is possible to display only the number of sets for which the effect data is registered. In other words, only the number of pairs for which a confirmed effect (for example, a don-matched effect or a billy get successful effect) that allows the player to recognize the acquisition of the right to move from the navigation game state 2 to the navigation game state 3 is notified. It is good as well. Further, when the number of rights to shift from the navigation game state 2 to the navigation game state 3 is 1 or more, it is preferable to notify that at least the number of rights is 1 or more. For example, in the case where only the number of pairs for which the above-described finalized effect has been performed is notified, the number of sets stored in the navigation game state 3 information storage area is “5”, and the finalized effect is once. If not, nothing will be notified. In such a case, at least the number of pairs stored in the navigation game state 3 information storage area is notified that it is “1” or more. Is preferred.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 65, the BB4 medium lottery process will be described. In addition, FIG. 65 is a figure which shows the flowchart of the lottery process in BB4 of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 refers to the billy get challenge occurrence lottery table (see FIG. 45), determines the current navigation mode, presence / absence of the game for production (lock flag on / off in the main control circuit), billy get challenge success flag Accordingly, a lottery for generating a billy get challenge is performed (step S441). Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the lottery result is a win (step S442). If the sub CPU 71 is not the winner, the sub CPU 71 performs the lottery process during BB4. On the other hand, if it is a win, billy get challenge processing is performed (step S443), and then it is determined whether or not there is an effect game stop (the lock flag is on) (step S444). The sub CPU 71 ends the lottery process during BB4 when there is no stop for the effect game. On the other hand, if there is an effect game stop, the sub CPU 71 registers display panel unit effect data (step S445), and ends the lottery process during BB4.

  Next, the billy get challenge process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 66 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the billy get challenge process of the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 refers to the billy get challenge correct lottery table (see FIG. 47), and performs the billy get challenge correct lottery according to the occurrence status of the billy get challenge and the presence or absence of the game for the production (step S461). Next, the sub CPU 71 refers to the lottery table without billy get challenge selection (see FIG. 48), and performs lottery without billy get challenge selection according to the result of the billy get challenge correct lottery (step S462). Next, the sub CPU 71 registers the billy get challenge effect described above (step S463), and ends the billy get challenge process. By registering the billy get challenge effect, the billy get challenge effect is executed immediately after the player presses the start lever 6.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 67, the number of navigation game state 3 addition games and lottery mode lottery processing will be described. FIG. 67 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart of the number of navigation game state 3 addition games and lottery mode lottery processing according to the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 refers to the navigation game state 3 addition game number lottery table A (see FIG. 34), and determines the navigation game state according to the current navigation mode, the small role / replay data pointer, the bonus data pointer, and the like. The number of 3 added games is lottery (step S481). Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not five games or more have been won as the number of navigation game state 3 addition games by this lottery (step S482). If five or more games have not been won, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the processing of step S486. If five or more games have been won, then the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode lottery table A (see FIG. 38). Referring to FIG. 4, the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode is lottery according to the current navigation mode (step S483). Next, the sub CPU 71 associates the number of navigation game state 3 addition games won in the process of step S481 and the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode determined in the process of step S483 with each other, so that the navigation game state 3 information Store in the storage area (step S484). Next, the sub CPU 71 turns on the navigation game state 3 transition flag (step S485), and proceeds to the process of step S486.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the game is a BB winning game (step S486), and when it is not a BB winning game, the navigation game state 3 addition game number and lottery mode lottery processing is terminated. On the other hand, in the case of a BB winning game, referring to the navigation game state 3 addition game number lottery table B (see FIG. 35), depending on the current navigation mode, bonus data pointer, presence / absence of effect game stop. The number of navigation game state 3 addition games is lottery (step S487). Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not five or more games have been won as the number of navigation game state 3 addition games by this lottery (step S488). The sub CPU 71 ends the navigation game state 3 addition game number and lottery mode lottery processing when five or more games are not won. On the other hand, if five or more games are won, then, referring to the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode lottery table B (see FIG. 39), the current navigation mode, bonus data pointer, presence / absence of effect game stop In response, the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode is lottery (step S489). Next, the sub CPU 71 associates the number of navigation game state 3 addition games won in the process of step S487 and the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode determined in the process of step S489 with each other, so that the navigation game state 3 information Store in the storage area (step S490). Next, the sub CPU 71 turns on the navigation game state 3 transition flag (step S491), and ends the navigation game state 3 addition game number and lottery mode lottery processing.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 68, the ART initial hitting process will be described. FIG. 68 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart of the ART initial hitting process according to the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 refers to the navigation set number lottery table (see FIG. 42) and determines the number of navigation sets (step S501). Next, the sub CPU 71 sets the number of navigation sets determined by lottery in the navigation set number counter (step S502), and sets 50 in the navigation game number counter (step S503). Next, the sub CPU 71 subtracts 1 from the navigation set number counter (step S504), and ends the ART initial hitting process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 69, the waiting state navigation game state transition process will be described. FIG. 69 is a view showing a flowchart of the waiting state navigation game state transition process of the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the game is a BB winning game during digestion of the navigation game state transition standby counter (step S521). At this time, the sub CPU 71 clears the navigation game state transition standby counter when the BB winning game is being digested with the navigation game state transition standby counter (step S527), and shifts to the navigation game state 1 after the end of the BB. Is performed (step S528), and the waiting state navigation game state transition process is terminated. Although a process for shifting to the navigation game state 1 after the end of the BB is not described in detail, for example, a process for turning on the navigation game state 1 flag is performed. Although not shown, when the navigation game state 1 flag is on after the end of BB, the navigation game state 1 is shifted to. Hereinafter, in the flowchart, the same processing is performed in the portion described as “transition from next game to navigation game state 0 (or navigation game state 1, navigation game state 2, navigation game state 3)”. For example, when transitioning from the next game to the navigation game state 0, the navigation game state 0 flag is turned on in the process, and if the navigation game state 0 flag is on at the start of the next game, the navigation game state 0 is shifted. .

  On the other hand, if it is not the BB winning game being digested with the navigation game state transition standby counter, the sub CPU 71 then subtracts 1 from the navigation game state transition standby counter (step S522), and determines whether or not it has become 0 (step S522). Step S523). At this time, if it is not 0, the sub CPU 71 ends the navigation game state transition process during the standby state. On the other hand, if it becomes 0, it is determined whether or not it is in the RT3 gaming state (step S524). If it is not in the RT3 gaming state, a process for shifting from the next game to the navigation gaming state 1 is performed ( Step S525), the navigation game state transition process during the standby state is terminated. On the other hand, if it is in the RT3 gaming state, a process for shifting from the next game to the navigation gaming state 2 is performed (step S526), and the navigation gaming state transition process during the standby state is terminated.

  Next, the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 70 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 1 of the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the game is a BB winning game (step S541). If it is a BB winning game, the sub CPU 71 performs a process for shifting to the navigation game state 1 after the end of the BB (step S542), and ends the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 1. On the other hand, if the game is not a BB winning game, it is determined whether or not the game is an RT3 transition game (a game transitioned from another game state to the RT3 game state) (step S543). If the game is RT3 transition game, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S545. If it is not RT3 transition game, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the specific condition is satisfied without following the navigation by the player (step S544). ). The specific conditions are as follows: (i) When the SB winning in the general gaming state does not shift to the RT1 gaming state, (ii) The push order lip during the RT1 gaming state does not shift to the RT2 gaming state (Iii) In the RT1 gaming state or in the RT2 gaming state, when the transition is made to the general gaming state when the pushing order bell is won, (iv) In the RT2 gaming state, when the SB is won in the RT1 gaming state, (v) This is satisfied when the transition to the RT3 gaming state is not made when the push order lip 2 is won in the RT2 gaming state.

  The sub CPU 71 ends the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 1 when the player does not follow the navigation but does not satisfy the specific condition, and satisfies the specific condition without depending on the player's navigation. In that case, the process proceeds to step S545.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation game state 3 interruption flag is on (step S545). The navigation game state 3 interruption flag is turned on when the BB is won in the navigation game state 3, and is cleared when the navigation game state 1 is shifted to the navigation game state 3 after the end of the BB. If the navigation game state 3 interruption flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 performs a process for shifting from the next game to the navigation game state 2 (step S546), and ends the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 1 To do. On the other hand, if the navigation game state 3 interruption flag is ON, a process for shifting from the next game to the navigation game state 3 is performed (step S547), and the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 1 is terminated.

  Next, the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 71 and 72. 71 and 72 are flowcharts of the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 2 of the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the game is a BB winning game (step S561). If it is a BB winning game, the sub CPU 71 performs a process for shifting to the navigation game state 1 after the end of the BB (step S562), and ends the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 2. On the other hand, if it is not the BB winning game, it is determined whether or not the BB is being carried over (step S563). The sub CPU 71 ends the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 2 when the BB carryover is in progress. On the other hand, if the BB carryover is not in progress, it is determined whether or not the navigation game state 3 transition flag is on (step S564). If the navigation game state 3 is on, the navigation game state 3 transition process in the navigation game state 2 is performed. (Step S566), the navigation gaming state transition processing during the navigation gaming state 2 is terminated. On the other hand, if the navigation game state 3 transition flag is not on, it is then determined whether or not the navigation game state transition standby counter is 1 or more (step S565).

  If the navigation game state transition standby counter is 1 or more, the sub CPU 71 performs a navigation game state 3 transition process during the navigation game state 2 (step S566) and ends the navigation game state 2 navigation game state transition process. . On the other hand, when the navigation game state transition standby counter is not 1 or more, the navigation game number counter is decremented by 1 (step S567), and it is determined whether the navigation game number counter has become 0 (step S568).

  If the navigation game number counter is not 0, the sub CPU 71 ends the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 2. On the other hand, if the navigation game number counter reaches 0, it is then determined whether the navigation set number counter is 0 (step S569). If not, 50 is set in the navigation game number counter ( In step S570), 1 is subtracted from the navigation set number counter (step S571), and the navigation game state transition process in the navigation game state 2 is ended. On the other hand, if the navigation set number counter is 0, the navigation mode transition lottery table C (see FIG. 31) is then referred to and a navigation mode transition lottery is performed (step S572).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the transition destination navigation mode is determined to be 0 as a result of the navigation mode transition lottery (step S573). If the transition destination navigation mode is determined to be 0, the sub CPU 71 performs processing for shifting from the next game to the navigation game state 0 (step S578), and ends the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 2 To do. On the other hand, when a value other than 0 is determined as the destination navigation mode, the ART hitting process is performed (step S574). Next, the sub CPU 71 refers to the navigation game state transition standby number lottery table C (see FIG. 32), draws the navigation game state transition standby number (step S575), and determines the determined navigation game state transition standby number. The navigation game state transition standby number counter is set (step S576).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation game state transition standby number counter is 0 (step S577). If the navigation game state transition standby number counter is not 0, the navigation game state 0 is started from the next game. (Step S578), and the navigation game state 2 middle game state transition process is terminated. On the other hand, if the navigation game state transition standby number counter is 0, a process for shifting from the next game to the navigation game state 2 is performed (step S579), and the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 2 is terminated. .

  Next, with reference to FIG. 73, the navigation game state 3 transition process in the navigation game state 2 will be described. FIG. 73 is a flowchart of the navigation game state 3 transition process in the navigation game state 2 of the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation game state 3 transition standby number counter is 0 (step S591). The navigation game state 3 transition standby number counter is a counter indicating the number of games until the navigation game state 2 shifts to the navigation game state 3. If the navigation game state 3 transition standby number counter is not 0, the sub CPU 71 decrements the navigation game state 3 transition standby number counter by 1 (step S597), and proceeds to the process of step S598. On the other hand, when the navigation game state 3 transition standby number counter is 0, it is then determined whether or not the navigation game state 3 transition flag is on when the navigation game state 2 is transitioned to (step S592).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation game state 3 transition flag has not been turned on when the navigation game state 2 is shifted to, the sub CPU 71 refers to the navigation game state 3 transition standby number lottery table (see FIG. 33) and determines the number of navigation games. In accordance with the value of the counter or the like, the number of waiting for the navigation game state 3 transition is determined (step S593). Next, the sub CPU 71 sets the determined navigation gaming state 3 transition standby number in the navigation gaming state 3 transition standby number counter (step S594), and subtracts 1 from the navigation gaming state 3 transition standby number counter (step S597). The process proceeds to step S598.

  On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation game state 3 transition flag is on when the navigation game state 2 is switched to, then the sub CPU 71 was in the navigation game state 0 or 1 before the transition to the navigation game state 2 A determination is made (step S595). If the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation game state is 0 or 1 before the transition to the navigation game state 2, the sub CPU 71 performs processing for shifting from the next game to the navigation game state 3 (step S599). 2. The middle navigation game state 3 transition process is terminated. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that it was not the navigation game state 0 or 1 before the transition to the navigation game state 2, the sub CPU 71 sets 2 in the navigation game state 3 transition standby number counter (step S596). The state 3 transition standby number counter is decremented by 1 (step S597), and the process proceeds to step S598.

  In the process of step S598, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation game state 3 transition standby number counter is zero. When the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation gaming state 3 transition standby number counter is not 0, the navigation gaming state 3 transition processing in the navigation gaming state 2 is terminated. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation game state 3 transition standby number counter is 0, the sub CPU 71 performs processing for shifting from the next game to the navigation game state 3 (step S599), and the navigation game in the navigation game state 2 The state 3 transition process is terminated.

  Next, the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 74 is a view showing a flowchart of the navigation game state transition process during the navigation game state 3 of the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation game state 3 interruption flag is on (step S611). If the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation game state 3 interruption flag is on, the number of navigation game state 3 addition games, the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode, and the navigation game state saved in the process of step S621 described later. The continuation counter is returned (step S617), the navigation game state 3 transition flag is turned off (step S618), and the process proceeds to step S619. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation game state 3 interruption flag is not on, then, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the game is a navigation game state 3 transition game (a game that has transitioned from another navigation game state to the navigation game state 3). Is determined (step S612).

  When the sub CPU 71 is not the navigation game state 3 transition game, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S619. On the other hand, in the case of the navigation game state 3 transition game, the sub CPU 71 acquires information from the navigation game state 3 information storage area, and sets the number of navigation game state 3 addition games and the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode ( Step S613). Next, the sub CPU 71 sets 1 in the navigation gaming state 3 continuation counter (step S614). The navigation game state 3 continuation counter is a counter that manages the number of continuous games in the navigation game state 3. Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation game state 3 information storage area is emptied by acquiring information from the navigation game state 3 information storage area in the process of step S613 (the stored information is lost). Is determined (step S615). When the navigation game state 3 information storage area becomes empty, the sub CPU 71 turns off the navigation game state 3 transition flag (step S616), proceeds to the process of step S619, and displays the navigation game state 3 information storage area. If is not empty, the process proceeds to step S619.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 performs a navigation game number addition process (step S619). Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the game is a BB winning game (step S620). If it is a BB winning game, the sub CPU 71 saves the number of navigation game state 3 addition games, the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode, and the navigation game state continuation counter (step S621), and sets the navigation game state 3 interruption flag. Turn on (step S622). Next, the sub CPU 71 performs processing for shifting to the navigation gaming state 1 after the end of BB (step S623), and ends the navigation gaming state transition processing during the navigation gaming state 3. On the other hand, if it is not a BB winning game, it is determined whether or not the result of the navigation game state 3 navigation game number addition lottery is non-winning (step S624). In the case of non-winning, the sub CPU 71 performs processing for shifting from the next game to the navigation gaming state 2 (step S625), and ends the navigation gaming state transition processing during the navigation gaming state 3, while If there is, the navigation game state transition process in the navigation game state 3 is terminated as it is.

  Next, the navigation game number adding process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 75 is a view showing a flowchart of the number-of-navigation game addition processing of the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation game state 3 is set (step S641). If the sub CPU 71 is not in the navigation game state 3, the sub CPU 71 ends the navigation game number addition process. On the other hand, in the case of the navigation game state 3, it is then determined whether or not the game is a BB winning game (step S642). In the case of a BB winning game, the sub CPU 71 refers to the navigation game number special addition lottery table (see FIG. 44), and performs the navigation game number special addition lottery according to the type of the winning BB (step S643). Then, the determined number of navigation games is added to the navigation game number counter (step S644), and the navigation game number addition process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is not the BB winning game, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not it is the first game returned from the BB winning state in the navigation gaming state 3 (step S645). If it is the first game for return, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S650. On the other hand, if it is not the first game returned, it is then determined whether or not the navigation game state 3 continuation counter is 1 or 2 (step S646), and if the navigation game state 3 continuation counter is 1 or 2, The process proceeds to step S650. On the other hand, if the navigation game state 3 continuation counter is not 1 or 2, the navigation game state 3 navigation game number addition lottery table (see FIG. 43) is referred to, and the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode, small role / replay data In accordance with the pointer, the bonus data pointer, etc., a navigation game state 3 navigation game number addition lottery is performed (step S647). Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the result of the navigation game state 3 navigation game number addition lottery is a win (step S648), and if it is a win, the process proceeds to step S650. On the other hand, in the case of non-winning, the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode, the navigation game state 3 addition game number, and the navigation game state 3 continuation counter are cleared (step S649), and the navigation game number addition process is terminated.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 adds the navigation game state 3 added game number to the navigation game number counter in the process of step S650. Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation game state 3 continuation counter is a specific value (step S651). The specific value is a value (5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40...) Defined in the navigation game number special addition lottery table (see FIG. 44). When the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation game state 3 continuation counter is not a specific value, the sub CPU 71 adds 1 to the navigation game state 3 continuation counter (step S654), and ends the navigation game number addition process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation game state 3 continuation counter has a specific value, the sub CPU 71 refers to the navigation game number special addition lottery table (see FIG. 44), and according to the value of the navigation game state 3 continuation counter. Then, the navigation game number special addition lottery is performed (step S652). Next, the sub CPU 71 adds the number of navigation games determined by the navigation game number special addition lottery to the navigation game number counter (step S653), adds 1 to the navigation game state 3 continuation counter (step S654), and determines the number of navigation games. The addition process is terminated.

  Next, the billy get challenge lottery process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, FIG. 76 is a figure which shows the flowchart of the billy get challenge lottery process of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the BB is in progress (step S671). If it is in the BB, the billy get challenge lottery process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is not in the BB, then whether or not the BB is being carried over. Is determined (step S672). If the BB carryover is in progress, the sub CPU 71 ends the billy get challenge lottery process. If not, the sub CPU 71 determines whether the navigation mode is 0 (step S673). If the navigation mode is not 0, the sub CPU 71 ends the billy get challenge lottery process. On the other hand, if the navigation mode is 0, the sub CPU 71 refers to the billy get challenge control counter lottery table (see FIG. 46), A billy get challenge control counter lottery is performed in accordance with the presence / absence of a small role / replay data pointer, bonus data pointer, and stoppage of the effect game (step S674).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the result of the billy get challenge control counter lottery is a win (step S675). If it is a win, the sub CPU 71 adds 1 to the billy get challenge control counter (step S676). The process proceeds to step S677, and if it is not a win, the process proceeds to step S677. Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the billy get challenge control counter is 1 or more (step S677). If the billy get challenge control counter is not 1 or more, the sub CPU 71 ends the billy get challenge lottery process. If the billy get challenge control counter is 1 or more, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether the next game of the specific liquid crystal effect end It is determined whether or not (step S678). The specific liquid crystal effect is a continuous effect over a plurality of games in the liquid crystal display area 23, an effect that expects a bonus or ART, and the like.

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the game is not the next game after the end of the specific liquid crystal effect, the billy get challenge lottery process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the game is the next game after the end of the specific liquid crystal effect, the billy get challenge process is performed (step S679), the billy get challenge control counter is decremented by 1 (step S680), and the billy get challenge lottery process is terminated. .

  Next, the billy get challenge determination process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 77 is a flowchart of the billy get challenge determination process according to the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the billy get challenge effect is registered in step S463 (see FIG. 66) in the game (step S701). If the sub CPU 71 has not registered the billy get challenge effect, the sub CPU 71 ends the billy get challenge determination process. On the other hand, when the billy get challenge effect is registered, it is then determined whether or not it is the third stop time (step S702). If the sub CPU 71 is not in the third stop, the billy get challenge determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is the third stop time, it is determined whether or not the billy get challenge is successful (step S703). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 determines whether the player's selection operation has been performed by the infrared sensors 120L and 120R before the third stop, and when the selection operation is performed, the billy get challenge correct lottery is performed. It is determined whether the correct answer determined in (Step S461 in FIG. 66) matches. If they match, it is determined that the billy get challenge has succeeded, and if they do not match, it is determined that the billy get challenge has failed. If the selection operation is not performed before the third stop, the sub CPU 71 determines that if the result of the lottery without selection of the billy get challenge (step S462 in FIG. 66) is a win, If it is determined that the challenge is successful, and if it is not winning, it is determined that the billy get challenge has failed. Further, although not shown, in the case where the billy get challenge is successful, the sub CPU 71 registers billy get challenge success effect data indicating that the billy get challenge is successful, and notifies the player to that effect.

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the billy get challenge is not successful (failure), the sub CPU 71 ends the billy get challenge determination process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the billy get challenge is successful, it is then determined whether or not BB4 is in progress (step S704). When the sub CPU 71 is not in BB4, the navigation mode is increased by one level (step S705), and the navigation game state transition process (step S706) and the ART initial hit process (step S707) are performed to determine the billy get challenge. The process ends. On the other hand, if it is during BB4, the sub CPU 71 turns on the billy get challenge success flag (step S708) and increases the navigation mode by one step (step S709). At this time, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the navigation mode has shifted from 0 to 1 (step S710). When the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation mode has shifted from 0 to 1 to 4, it performs ART initial hit processing (step S711), and shifts to the processing of step S712, while the navigation mode is shifted from 0 to 1-4. If it is determined that the process has not shifted to step S712, the process proceeds to step S712.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 refers to the navigation game state 3 addition game number lottery table D (see FIG. 37) and determines the number of navigation game state 3 addition games (step S712). Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the lottery result is a win (a value other than 0 is determined as the number of games added in the navigation game state 3) (step S713). If the sub CPU 71 is not the winner, the billy get challenge determination process ends. On the other hand, in the case of winning, with reference to the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode lottery table D (see FIG. 41), the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode lottery is determined according to the current navigation mode (step S714). . Next, the sub CPU 71 associates the number of navigation game state 3 addition games won in the process of step S712 and the navigation game state 3 addition lottery mode determined in the process of step S714 with each other, and navigates the navigation game on the sub RAM 73. Store in the state 3 information storage area (step S715). Next, the sub CPU 71 turns on the navigation game state 3 transition flag (step S716) and ends the billy get challenge determination process.

  Next, the navigation game state transition process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, FIG. 78 is a figure which shows the flowchart of the navigation game state transfer process of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not it is in the RT3 gaming state (step S731). If the sub CPU 71 is in the RT3 gaming state, the sub CPU 71 performs processing for shifting from the next game to the navigation gaming state 2 (step S732), and ends the navigation gaming state transition processing. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 is not in the RT3 gaming state, the sub CPU 71 performs processing for shifting from the next game to the navigation gaming state 1 (step S733), and ends the navigation gaming state transition processing.

  Next, display command reception processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 79 is a diagram showing a flowchart of processing at the time of display command reception according to this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the game is a BB winning game (step S751). If the display combination is BB winning game, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the display combination is BB (internal winning BB) (step S752). If the display combination is BB, the display command On the other hand, if the display combination is not BB, the BB carryover flag is turned on (step S753), and the display command reception process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is not a BB winning game, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the BB carryover flag is on (step S754). If the BB carryover flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 terminates the display command reception process, and if the BB carryover flag is on, then the display combination is BB (BB being carried over). Whether or not (step S755). At this time, if the display combination is not BB, the sub CPU 71 ends the display command reception process, and if the display combination is BB, the sub-CPU 71 turns off the BB carryover flag (step S756), and displays the display command. The process on reception ends.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 80, a bonus end command reception process will be described. FIG. 80 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the bonus end command reception process according to this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not it is at the end of the BB4 gaming state (step S771). If it is not at the end of the BB4 gaming state, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the processing of step S774. On the other hand, if it is at the end of the BB4 gaming state, it is then determined whether or not the billy get challenge success flag is on (step S772). At this time, if the billy get challenge success flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S774. On the other hand, if the billy get challenge success flag is on, the billy get challenge success flag is turned off (step S773), and the process proceeds to step S774.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not it is at the end of any BB gaming state (step S774). When the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not at the end of the BB gaming state, it ends the bonus end command reception process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is the end of the BB gaming state, it then determines whether the navigation mode is any one of 1 to 4 (step S775). If the navigation mode is not any of 1 to 4, the sub CPU 71 performs a process for shifting from the next game to the navigation game state 0 (step S779), and ends the process at the time of receiving the bonus end command. On the other hand, when the navigation mode is any one of 1 to 4, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not it is a lottery transition in the BB winning game (step S776).

  If it is not a lottery transition in the BB winning game, the sub CPU 71 performs a process for shifting from the next game to the navigation game state 1 (step S780), and ends the process at the time of receiving the bonus end command. On the other hand, if it is a lottery transition in the BB winning game, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether the navigation mode transition lottery in the BB gaming state has been won (step S777). When the sub CPU 71 determines that the navigation mode transition lottery is won in the BB gaming state, the sub CPU 71 performs processing for shifting from the next game to the navigation gaming state 1 (step S780), and performs a bonus end command reception processing. finish. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that it has not won the navigation mode transition lottery during the BB gaming state, the sub CPU 71 refers to the navigation gaming state transition standby number lottery table B (see FIG. 32) and shifts to the navigation gaming state. The number of standbys is determined and set in the navigation game state transition standby counter (step S778), and then a process for shifting from the next game to the navigation game state 0 is performed (step S779), and the bonus end command reception process is terminated. To do.

  The navigation mode transition lottery may be performed at the end of the BB gaming state. At this time, lottery may be performed according to the game content in the BB game state to be ended. For example, if JAC 1 to 7 (small portion / replay data pointers “25” to “31”) have never won during BB 1 to 3, a lottery is performed so that the navigation mode is increased by 1 with high probability. It may be done. In addition, when the billy get challenge in the BB gaming state is failed a specific number of times, lottery may be performed so that the navigation mode is increased by 1 with high probability.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 81, the display panel unit effect executed when the display panel unit effect data is registered in step S445 of the BB4 lottery process (see FIG. 65) will be described.

  When the display panel unit effect data is registered, the sub CPU 71 changes the luminance of the LEDs 111 to 114 corresponding to the display panels 110Pa to 110Pd according to the time series shown in FIG. In this case, it appears to the player that the character is slowly approaching from the back at first, and then the front display panel 110Pa blinks at high speed with the light extinction period in between. Thereby, a player's expectation can be improved.

  Next, the game information providing service will be described. The game information providing service is a service that provides the player with game contents (game history) from when the player starts to play until a certain point in time. The game information providing service is performed by a game system including the gaming machine 1.

  As shown in FIG. 82, the gaming system S includes a gaming machine 1, a portable communication terminal with a camera 400 (hereinafter referred to as “portable terminal”) possessed by the player, and a server device 500. .

Note that the gaming machine 1 is not connected to the network NW.

  Here, the game information providing service is a service that can be provided to the player by prior registration by the player. Therefore, in order to receive this game information providing service, the player needs to perform predetermined advance registration (new registration).

  Specifically, the sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 displays a menu screen in the liquid crystal display area 23 when no game is played by any player. The menu screen displays items (“new registration” items) to be selected when a player who intends to use the game information providing service for the first time performs new registration. When a player who wants to perform new registration selects the item with the selection button 24 and presses the enter button 25, the sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 recognizes that a new registration procedure by the player is started, and new A new registration two-dimensional code including URL information of the server device 500 accessed to perform the registration procedure is displayed.

  The player images the new registration two-dimensional code with the camera 401 of his / her portable terminal 400 to access the registration site provided by the server device 500 and perform new registration. For example, this new registration is completed by inputting so-called blank mail without a subject and without a text after inputting necessary information. At this time, the portable terminal 400 transmits the individual identification information of the own portable terminal to the server device 500.

  The server device 500 stores the necessary information including the address information of the player's portable terminal 400 in the storage unit 503 described later in association with the individual identification information described above by receiving the blank mail. When such a recording process is completed, the server device 500 returns an e-mail notifying the completion of registration to the player's portable terminal 400. In the present embodiment, the address of the player's portable terminal 400 is acquired by receiving a blank e-mail. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the address of the player's portable terminal 400 is input in a new registration procedure. The structure acquired by this may be sufficient.

  As shown in FIG. 83, the portable terminal 400 includes a camera 401 as an imaging unit for reading the two-dimensional code 300 displayed in the liquid crystal display area 23 of the gaming machine 1.

The storage unit 503 of the server device 500 in the present embodiment is configured as a database, and constitutes storage means and storage means of the present invention.

  The sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 records, for example, the game content after the player starts the game in the sub RAM 73 and the like, and the player tries to acquire game information indicating the game content when the game ends. In this case, game information is provided via the server device 500.

  The sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 displays the two-dimensional code 300 on the liquid crystal display area 23 so that the player (portable terminal 400) accesses the server device 500 when providing the game information providing service. . Specifically, at least i) when the player starts a game (game record start), and ii) when the player tries to obtain game information at the end of the game (game record end), the two-dimensional code 300 is displayed.

  The two-dimensional code 300 is obtained by converting transmission information to be described later. As the two-dimensional code, for example, a QR code (registered trademark) can be adopted. However, the two-dimensional code is not limited to the QR code (registered trademark), and any display-type code having information in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction can be applied.

  The transmission information at the time i) includes information related to the domain of the server device 500, log-in count information indicating the log-in count since power-on, and gaming machine identification information for identifying the own gaming machine 1 and other gaming machines. Etc. are included. On the other hand, in addition to these pieces of information, the transmission information at the time of ii) includes game information and privilege information indicating the game contents recorded after the time of i).

  The control unit 403 of the portable terminal 400 reads the displayed two-dimensional code 300 with the camera 401 and accesses the server device 500 according to the domain or the like included in the two-dimensional code 300. The log-in number information, gaming machine identification information, etc. included in the dimensional code 300 are transmitted as transmission data at the start. On the other hand, in the case of ii), the log-in number information, gaming machine identification information included in the two-dimensional code 300 The game information, the privilege information, and the like are transmitted as output data at the time of output. In addition, when accessing the server device 500 and transmitting information, the control unit 403 of the portable terminal 400 transmits so-called individual identification information for identifying the portable terminal 400 from other portable terminals. It has become.

  On the other hand, when there is an access at the time of i), the control unit 502 of the server device 500 uses the received individual identification information and the login number information, gaming machine identification information, etc. included in the received start transmission data. The information is stored in the storage unit 503 in association with each other.

  In addition, when there is an access at the time of ii), the control unit 502 of the server device 500 stores the log-in number information and the gaming machine identification information included in the received output transmission data and at the time of i). It is determined whether the login count information and the gaming machine identification information match, and if they match, the individual who has received the login count information, gaming machine identification information, gaming information, privilege information, etc. included in the output transmission data. The information is stored in the game information DB (Database) of the storage unit 503 in association with the identification information.

  In addition, the control unit 502 of the server device 500 generates display data (for example, a web page) that can be displayed on the mobile terminal 400 based on the accumulated game information and the like by the display data generation unit 521 and performs communication. A reply is made to the mobile terminal 400 that has accessed through the unit 501.

  Based on the received display data, the control unit 403 of the portable terminal 400 causes the display unit 402 to display a screen showing game content and the like. The player can check the game contents and the like from the screen.

  Further, the control unit 502 of the server device 500 acquires content data (so-called mobile standby screen) to be given to the player based on the received privilege information by the wallpaper creating means 522, and communicates with the display data together with the display data. A reply is made to the mobile terminal 400 that has accessed through the unit 501.

  The control unit 403 of the portable terminal 400 causes the display unit 402 to display a portable standby screen including the received content data. Thereby, the player can acquire the mobile standby screen as a privilege of a predetermined event.

  Moreover, the control part 502 of the server apparatus 500 produces | generates the privilege (password for customization for customizing a character etc.) for giving to a player by the privilege provision control means 524 based on the received privilege information, The data is transmitted to the mobile terminal 400 that has accessed through the communication unit 501.

  The control unit 403 of the portable terminal 400 displays the received customization password on the display unit 402. The player can obtain a password for customization from the display screen as a predetermined privilege. For example, in a state where the player who has acquired the customization password displays a menu screen in which an item of “customization password input” for prompting the input of the customization password is displayed on the liquid crystal display area 23 of the gaming machine 1, Using a touch panel (not shown) provided on at least a part of the liquid crystal display area 23, a password for customization is key-input. As a result, in the gaming machine 1 to which the customization password is input, the production is customized according to the customization data corresponding to the customization password, such as a case where an item such as a character is replaced with a special item. .

  In the operation of the touch panel, for example, when using the game information providing service, the reaction of the character accompanying the touch operation may be increased as a privilege according to the game history.

  Next, the gaming machine 1 when the player uses the game information providing service will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 displays a menu screen in the liquid crystal display area 23 when no game is played by any player. On the menu screen, an item to be selected (“game recording start” item) is displayed when a player who intends to use the game information providing service starts a game. When a player who wants to start a game selects the item with the selection button 24 and presses the enter button 25, the sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 recognizes that the player starts the game, The start two-dimensional code 300 is displayed, and thereafter, game content recording is started.

  When the player starts a game, the sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 displays a menu screen displayed in the liquid crystal display area 23 on the menu screen displayed by the player who is going to use the game information providing service according to the player's request. Display the items to be selected ("Customize password entry" item) before starting. For example, when the player who is going to start the game has already acquired the customization password, when the selection button 24 is used to select the item and the determination button 25 is pressed, the sub CPU 71 allows the contents of the effect to be customized. Is recognized, and a password input screen for inputting alphabet characters and numbers constituting the customization password is displayed in correspondence with the touch panel of the liquid crystal display area 23.

  Further, when the sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 detects an operation of simultaneously pressing the selection button 24 and the determination button 25 during non-game, the sub CPU 71 displays a menu screen in the liquid crystal display area 23. On the menu screen, an item to be selected (“game record end” item) is displayed when the player ends the game and acquires game information indicating the game contents from the start to the game.

  When the sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 detects an operation for selecting the “game recording end” item by using the selection button 24 and the decision button 25, the sub CPU 71 transmits transmission information based on the game content recorded from the start of the game. The game end time two-dimensional code 300 is generated and displayed on the liquid crystal display area 23 based on the transmission information.

The information set in the 73rd byte of the type number varies depending on the contents of the 72nd byte. That is, when “1” is set at the 72nd byte, the total number of game starts (logins) from the power-on of the gaming machine is set at the 73rd byte, and “2” is set at the 72nd byte. When the game starts, the total number of game starts (login) set at the time of game start (login) is set at the 73rd byte.

  In the 80th to 82nd bytes of the transmission information, the total number of games from the game start (login) to that time is set.

  In the 83rd to 85th bytes of the transmission information, the total number of inserted medals from the game start (login) to that time is set. In the 86th to 88th bytes of the transmission information, the total number of paid-out medals from the start of the game (login) to that time is set.

  In the 89th to 92nd bytes of the transmission information, the BB execution count, RB execution count, and MB execution count from the game start (login) to that time are set. However, since the model described in the present embodiment does not employ MB, the area where the number of MB executions is set is blank. In the 93rd to 94th bytes of the transmission information, the number of SB executions from the game start (login) to that time is set. From the 95th byte to the 97th byte of the transmission information, the maximum / minimum BB interval from the start of the game (login) to that time (the number of games from the end of BB until the next BB wins internally) is set. The

  From the 98th byte to the 100th byte of the transmission information, the maximum value of the number of medals acquired by the player during the ART from the start of the game (login) to that time is set as the maximum ART acquisition number. From the 101st byte to the 103rd byte of the transmission information, the maximum value of the number of games in which ART continues from the start of the game (login) to that time is set as the maximum number of continuous ARTs. From the 104th byte to the 105th byte of the transmission information, the maximum value of the number of continuing games in the navigation game state 3 is set as the maximum number of combos. From the 106th byte to the 107th byte of the transmission information, the maximum value of the number of continuous games in the navigation game state 3 is set as the number of ART rushes. From the 108th byte to the 124th byte of the transmission information, a flag value indicating whether a predetermined event and various missions described later have been achieved is set as an event achievement bit. A checksum is set from the 125th byte to the 127th byte of the transmission information.

  Note that the content of information set in the 80th to 124th bytes of the transmission information is player-provided information provided when the server device 500 is accessed from the mobile terminal 400 (player). Also, from the 80th byte to the 97th byte, the same information is set in common for all models. From the 98th byte to the 107th byte, model-specific information identified by the model code is set. Further, the portable terminal 400 that has read the two-dimensional code 300 generated based on the transmission information transmits at least information from the 29th byte to the 124th byte of the transmission information to the server device 500.

  Next, the various missions described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 85, 109 missions are prepared in the gaming machine 1 in this embodiment. Missions can be divided into three categories. In the first category of missions (no. 1 to no. 47 missions), the server device 500 performs the mission achievement determination based on information (for example, the total number of games) included in the transmission information. For missions in the second category (no. 48 to no. 63 missions), it is determined whether the gaming machine 1 satisfies the conditions corresponding to the mission, and when satisfied, the achievement flag corresponding to the mission is turned on. It is a mission, and the content (value) of the achievement flag is set to the corresponding bit in the event achievement bit described above. The third category of missions (no.64 to no.109 missions) is a mission in which an execution flag corresponding to the mission is turned on when the gaming machine 1 executes an effect corresponding to the mission. Is set to the corresponding bit in the event achievement bit described above.

  Next, details of the server device 500 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As illustrated in FIG. 86, the server device 500 includes at least a communication unit 501, a control unit 502, and a storage unit 503. The communication unit 501 communicates with the mobile terminal 400 via the network NW, for example.

  The control unit 502 includes display data generation means 521, wallpaper creation means 522, accumulation control means 523, and privilege provision control means 524.

  The display data generating unit 521 generates display data (for example, a web page) that can be displayed on the portable terminal 400 based on game information stored in the storage unit 503.

  Based on the benefit information included in the output transmission data, the wallpaper creating means 522 obtains content data to be given to the player as a benefit by clearing a predetermined event, for example, a mobile standby screen for the mobile terminal 400 belongs to. The portable standby screen is appropriately selected from those created or prepared in advance according to the privilege information.

  The storage control means 523 stores game information and game machine identification information included in the start transmission data or output transmission data, and individual identification information for identifying the portable terminal 400 received together with these data in each storage area. Necessary information is read out from each storage area in response to a request from the player (portable terminal 400) for accumulation.

  The privilege grant control means 524 generates a customization password for customizing a character or the like as a privilege according to the privilege information for the player, based on the privilege information included in the output transmission data.

  Next, a predetermined event that occurs while using the game information providing service will be described.

  The game information providing service is a service that provides a player with a logged game history, and a predetermined event that occurs while using the service is, for example, predetermined based on the establishment of a predetermined generation condition. The game of the specified number of games is digested in order to obtain a predetermined privilege regardless of the medal grant. The predetermined event is, for example, by winning a specific combination (in this embodiment, a bell combination) by an internal lottery performed in each game, or by winning a special lottery performed for the occurrence of a predetermined event, It happens suddenly.

  Note that the predetermined event may occur regardless of the player's game time and the number of digested games, or occurs on the condition that a predetermined game time has elapsed or a predetermined number of games have been digested. It is good as well.

  The prescribed number of games is defined as 500G, 600G, and 700G as the number of games that can be surely consumed during a unit time (for example, one hour), and can be selected according to the player's previous gaming experience, desired benefits, etc. It is like that. For example, a player who has a predetermined event during login (while using the game information providing service) can select any one of 500G, 600G, and 700G depending on what he / she wants to acquire as a past achievement or a predetermined privilege. Can be selected as the prescribed number of games. That is, the prescribed number of games is determined by the player by selecting the number of games with the selection button 24 and pressing the decision button 25 from the dedicated screen displayed in the liquid crystal display area 23 when a predetermined event occurs, for example. Selected.

  Further, during the occurrence of a predetermined event, a predetermined point value (for example, 100 points) can be obtained by winning a specific internal winning combination (for example, cherry) by an internal lottery performed for each unit game. It has become.

  Here, the privilege given to the player is digital content such as image data such as a mobile standby screen based on the privilege information, and the rendering mode in the gaming machine 1 is changed to a specific rendering mode based on the privilege information. This is a password for changing (customizing to a special presentation mode provided only to a player who has input a password for customization).

  The granting of such a privilege is determined according to the selected prescribed game number and the cumulative value (total point value) of points acquired while digesting the selected prescribed game number game. For example, if 500G is selected as the specified number of games, and the cumulative value of points when using 500G is over 500 points (at least 5 wins for cherry), the event is cleared and the first mobile standby screen is displayed. At the same time, a password capable of customizing the character background image is generated as privilege information. In addition, for example, if the cumulative value of points when digesting 500G exceeds 600 points (at least 6 wins for the cherry role), clear the event and customize the character's costume along with the first mobile standby screen A password that can be used is generated as privilege information. Furthermore, for example, if the cumulative value of points when digesting 500G exceeds 700 points (at least 7 wins for the cherry role), the event is cleared and the character's costume and background are displayed along with the first mobile standby screen. A password capable of customizing the image is generated as privilege information.

  On the other hand, for example, when 600G is selected as the specified number of games and the accumulated value of points when 600G is consumed exceeds 600 points, the event is cleared, and the second mobile standby screen different from the first mobile standby screen And a password that can customize the background image of the character is generated as privilege information. Also, for example, if the cumulative value of points when digesting 600G exceeds 700 points, the event is cleared, a second mobile standby screen can be obtained, and a password that can customize the character's costume, Generated as privilege information. Furthermore, for example, when the cumulative value of points when digesting 600G exceeds 800 points, the event is cleared, the second mobile standby screen can be obtained, and the character costume and background image can be customized. A password is generated as privilege information.

  On the other hand, if 700G is selected as the specified number of games, and the cumulative value of 700G points exceeds 700 points, the event is cleared and a third different from the first and second mobile standby screens. A password that can obtain the mobile standby screen and customize the character background image is generated as privilege information. Also, for example, if the cumulative value of points when digesting 700G exceeds 800 points, the event is cleared, a third mobile standby screen can be obtained, and a password that can customize the character's costume, Generated as privilege information. Furthermore, for example, when the cumulative value of points when digesting 700G exceeds 900 points, it is possible to clear the event, obtain the third mobile standby screen, and customize the character costume and background image. A password is generated as privilege information.

  In this way, the privilege provided to the player is based on the fact that a specified number of games have been played, and at least an internal winning combination (for example, cherry blossom) won during a specified number of games related to the specified event. Since it changes depending on the cumulative value of points according to the role, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game during the predetermined event.

  Note that the privilege given to the player is not limited to the mobile standby screen or the password for customization, but may be an incoming melody, for example.

  That is, since the privilege changes according to the accumulated value of points and the number of one specified game selected, a variety of privileges can be provided to the player.

  In addition, the specific role for generating the predetermined event illustrated here, the specified number of games and the point value for clearing the predetermined event are examples, and the setting can be appropriately changed according to the setting of the gaming machine 1 or the like. is there.

  Next, processing performed between the gaming machine 1, the portable terminal 400, and the server device 500 in the gaming system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. It is assumed that a predetermined operation has already been performed on the gaming machine 1 side before the process described below, and the starting two-dimensional code 300 before the start of the game is displayed. The process shown in FIG. 87 shows an example of customizing a character or the like after the player starts game recording with the gaming machine 1 (after the game starts) and ends the game recording (game ends). . Furthermore, the process shown in FIG. 87 illustrates a case where the player selects a prescribed number of games when a predetermined event occurs and generates privilege information from the prescribed number of games and the accumulated point value at the end of the predetermined event. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 87, first, on the assumption that the player can use the game information providing service, that is, the initial registration has already been completed, in the gaming machine 1 in which no game is performed, the liquid crystal display area A menu screen is displayed at 23 (step S1001). When using the game information providing service, the player first displays this menu screen.

  When the item “game recording start” is selected from the menu screen by operating the selection button 24 and the decision button 25 of the player, the gaming machine 1 displays the two-dimensional code 300 for the start time in the liquid crystal display area 23. Is displayed (step S1002). Thereafter, in the gaming machine 1, the game content is recorded with the start of a predetermined game by the player (step S1003).

  On the other hand, in the portable terminal 400 possessed by the player, the control unit 403 activates the camera 401 based on an instruction input from the operation input unit (button or touch panel) 406. Then, the mobile terminal 400 captures the start-time two-dimensional code 300 displayed on the liquid crystal display area 23 of the gaming machine 1 by the camera 401 (step S1004).

  Thereafter, the control unit 403 of the portable terminal 400 stores the captured start time two-dimensional code 300 as image data in the storage unit 404, and then performs known two-dimensional code recognition processing to generate start time transmission data. To do.

  Next, the control unit 403 of the mobile terminal 400 transmits the generated start transmission data to the server device 500 from the transmitter (not shown) of the communication unit 405 via the network NW (step S1005). At this time, the control unit 403 also transmits so-called individual identification information for identifying the mobile terminal 400 and other mobile terminals.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the game system S is logged in when the item “game recording start” is selected. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, login may be performed when start-time transmission data is received by server device 500 or when start-time transmission data is transmitted to server device 500.

  On the other hand, the accessed server device 500 receives the start-time transmission data from the portable terminal 400 via the communication unit 501. Then, the accumulation control means 523 of the control unit 502 of the server device 500 associates the login count information, gaming machine identification information, and the like included in the received start transmission data with the received individual identification information, and stores them in the storage unit 503. Each area is stored (step S1006).

  After that, it is assumed that a predetermined vent occurs in the gaming machine 1 on the condition that a specific combination (for example, a bell combination) is won internally as the game progresses (step S1007). Then, in the gaming machine 1, the sub CPU 71 causes the liquid crystal display area 23 to display a dedicated screen for selecting the prescribed number of games when a predetermined event occurs. Thereby, the player selects the prescribed number of games to be digested as a predetermined event by pressing the selection button 24 and the determination button 25 (step S1008).

  In this way, in the gaming machine 1, when the predetermined number of games are digested by the occurrence of the predetermined event, the predetermined event ends (step S1009).

  Then, the sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 generates privilege information based on the selected specified number of games and the cumulative value of points acquired according to the winning combination while digesting the selected specified number of games. (Step S1010). The generated privilege information is stored in a predetermined area of the sub RAM 73 by the sub CPU 71 until, for example, the use of the game information providing service ends.

  Thereafter, as the game ends, the player operates the selection button 24 and the determination button 25 simultaneously, so that the gaming machine 1 displays a menu screen in the liquid crystal display area 23 (step S1011). Then, from this menu screen, for example, when the “game record end” item is selected by operating the selection button 24 and the decision button 25 of the player, the gaming machine 1 ends the game content recording and The two-dimensional code 300 for output including the transmission information including the game content and the privilege information is generated and displayed on the liquid crystal display area 23 (step S1012).

  On the other hand, in the portable terminal 400 possessed by the player, the control unit 403 activates the camera 401. Then, the portable terminal 400 images the two-dimensional code 300 for output displayed on the liquid crystal display area 23 of the gaming machine 1 by the camera 401 (step S1013).

  Thereafter, the control unit 403 of the portable terminal 400 stores the captured output two-dimensional code 300 as image data in the storage unit 403 and extracts privilege information and game information included in the two-dimensional code 300 ( Step S1014). And the control part 403 of the portable terminal 400 produces | generates transmission data at the time of output based on the extracted privilege information, game information, etc. Next, the control unit 403 of the mobile terminal 400 transmits the generated output transmission data from the transmitter of the communication unit 405 to the server device 500 via the network NW (step S1015).

  On the other hand, when the server device 500 receives the output transmission data transmitted from the mobile terminal 400 via the communication unit 501, the login count information and the gaming machine identification information included in the received output transmission data The control unit 502 determines whether or not the login count information and the gaming machine identification information stored at the time of login match. If they match, the storage control means 523 of the server device 500 associates the login count information, gaming machine identification information, gaming information, privilege information, etc. included in the output transmission data with the individual identification information, Accumulation is performed in each area of the storage unit 503 (step S1016).

  Further, in the control unit 502 of the server device 500, the wallpaper creation unit 522 acquires a mobile standby screen as a predetermined privilege according to the privilege information accumulated in the storage unit 503, and the privilege granting control unit 524 stores the mobile standby screen. A customizing password as a predetermined privilege is generated according to the privilege information stored in unit 503 (step S1017). Then, together with the mobile standby screen and the password for customization, the display data generating means 521 converts the game information stored in the storage unit 503 into display data that can be displayed on the mobile terminal 400, and then accesses the mobile terminal 400 that has accessed. In response, the communication unit 501 sends a reply (step S1018).

  On the other hand, when the mobile terminal 400 receives the display data from the server device 500, the control unit 403 of the mobile terminal 400 causes the display unit 402 to display a screen showing game content and the like based on the received display data (Step 402). S1019). When receiving the mobile standby screen from the server device 500, the control unit 403 of the mobile terminal 400 displays the received mobile standby screen on the display unit 402. When receiving the customization password from the server device 500, the control unit 403 of the portable terminal 400 stores the received customization password in the storage unit 404.

  In this way, the player can easily check the game content and the like by using the game information providing service.

  In addition, the player can acquire a mobile standby screen as a predetermined privilege when the predetermined event that occurs when using the game information providing service can be successfully cleared. Further, since the customization password can be obtained, the game machine 1 can customize the production according to the customization data corresponding to the customization password, such as a case where an item such as a costume such as a character is replaced with a special item.

  For example, when customizing an effect in the gaming machine 1, the sub CPU 71 displays a password input screen in which a “customizing password input” item for prompting the user to input a customization password is displayed in the liquid crystal display area 23 of the gaming machine 1. (Step S1020).

  On the other hand, the player operates the portable terminal 400 possessed by the player, reads out the customization password stored in the storage unit 404 and displays it on the display unit 402 (step S1021).

  Then, the player uses the touch panel (not shown) provided on at least a part of the liquid crystal display area 23 of the gaming machine 1 to enter the customization password displayed on the display unit 402 of the portable terminal 400. input. Thereby, in the gaming machine 1, the effects in the subsequent games are customized according to the customization data corresponding to the customization password (step S1022).

  For example, if the player wishes to change the production mode during the game, the game is temporarily interrupted, and the “customize password input” item is selected using the selection button 24 and the decision button 25 of the gaming machine 1. Perform the operation. Thereby, a password input screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display area 23 of the gaming machine 1. The player inputs the customization password displayed on the display unit 402 of the portable terminal 400 from the password input screen by a touch operation, thereby inputting a specific production mode (customization password is entered in the gaming machine 1). It is possible to change to an effect mode provided only to the player.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 88, the processing at the time of occurrence of a predetermined event by the sub CPU 71 when using the above-described game information providing service will be described. FIG. 88 shows a flowchart of the predetermined event occurrence process according to the present embodiment.

  For example, when providing the game information providing service, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a predetermined event has occurred (step S1101). When the sub CPU 71 does not determine the occurrence of the predetermined event, the predetermined event occurrence process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that a predetermined event has occurred, for example, when the game information providing service is provided, for example, in response to the internal winning of the bell role, a special screen for causing the liquid crystal display area 23 to select the prescribed number of games is displayed. Then, the player is caused to select a prescribed number of games to be digested as a predetermined event (step S1102).

  In this way, when the prescribed number of games is selected by the player at the start of a predetermined event, the gaming machine 1 sequentially starts games for the prescribed number of games, and the sub CPU 71 specifies each time the game is consumed. It is determined whether or not the internal winning combination has been won (step S1103). As a specific internal winning combination, for example, the sub CPU 71 adds 100 points each time an internal winning combination is given for a cherry (step S1104), and determines whether or not all of the selected prescribed game numbers have been consumed (step S1105). .

  If the sub CPU 71 does not win a specific internal winning combination in step S1103, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the processing in step S1105 without adding points.

  If the sub CPU 71 does not determine that all of the selected specified game number has been consumed in the process of step S1105, the sub CPU 71 repeats the processes of step S1103 to step S1105.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S1105 that all the selected prescribed games have been consumed, the sub CPU 71 determines the selected prescribed number of games and the accumulated point value when the prescribed number of games are consumed. Based on this, it is determined whether or not a predetermined privilege has been acquired (step S1106). That is, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the predetermined event has been cleared from the selected prescribed game number and the acquired total point value. For example, the sub CPU 71 determines that the predetermined event has been cleared when 500G is selected as the prescribed number of games and the accumulated value of points when the 500G is consumed exceeds 500 points.

  If the sub CPU 71 does not determine that the predetermined event has been cleared, the sub CPU 71 ends the process when the predetermined event occurs. If it is determined that the predetermined event has been cleared, the sub CPU 71 generates privilege information according to the specified number of games and the cumulative value of points (step S1107), and then ends the process when the predetermined event occurs. .

  As described above, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment can promote the game by the player until the specified number of games is over after the occurrence of the predetermined event.

  That is, after the start two-dimensional code 300 is displayed on the liquid crystal display area 23, the predetermined number of games is determined based on the establishment of a predetermined generation condition (for example, internal winning in the role of a bell while using the game information providing service). In the meantime, when a predetermined event is generated and a predetermined number of games of the predetermined event are finished, for example, a customization password for customizing a character appearing on the portable standby screen of the portable terminal 400 or the presentation of the gaming machine 1, A privilege that is not related to the grant of a medal can be provided to the player via the output two-dimensional code 300 in the form of privilege information.

  In addition, the benefits provided to the player vary depending on the accumulated value of points according to the internal winning combination (for example, cherry role) won while playing the specified number of games related to the predetermined event. Can enhance the fun of games.

  In addition, since the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment can allow the player to select a prescribed number of games for a predetermined event, for example, it is possible to set a prescribed number of games that can be achieved according to the player's game time and the like. it can.

  In addition, since the privilege changes according to the accumulated value of points and the number of one specified game selected, a variety of privileges can be provided to the player.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, operation can be promoted.

  Furthermore, the gaming system S according to the present embodiment can promote the game by the player until the specified number of games is over after the predetermined event occurs.

  In other words, after the start two-dimensional code 300 is displayed on the liquid crystal display area 23 of the gaming machine 1, the provision is made based on the establishment of a predetermined generation condition (for example, internal winning in the role of a bell while using the game information providing service) When a predetermined event is generated for the number of games, and the game of the predetermined number of games for the predetermined event is completed, for example, for customizing to customize a character that appears on the mobile standby screen of the mobile terminal 400 or the rendering of the gaming machine 1 A privilege such as a password that is not related to the grant of a medal can be provided to the player via the output two-dimensional code 300 in the form of privilege information.

  On the other hand, the player acquires the output two-dimensional code 300 using the portable terminal 400 possessed by the player, and transmits the acquired two-dimensional code 300 to the server device 500, for example, waiting for the portable terminal 400. A privilege such as a password for customization for customizing characters appearing on the screen or the production of the gaming machine 1 can be obtained.

  In addition, since the benefits provided to the player vary depending on the accumulated value of points corresponding to the internal winning combination (for example, cherry role) won while digesting the specified number of games related to the predetermined event, the predetermined event You can enhance the fun of the game inside.

  Therefore, according to the gaming system S of the present embodiment, the operation of the gaming machine 1 can be promoted.

  In the present embodiment, when portable terminal 400 accesses server device 500 and transmits information, the user ID assigned to the player by the new registration procedure for the game information providing service provided by server device 500 is provided. The server device 500 may register the received information in the game information DB in association with the received user ID. In addition, when a plurality of pieces of game information corresponding to the same individual identification information or user ID are registered, the server device 500 accumulates game information from gaming machines of the same model or a state in which the player is interested, for example. Or may be provided to the player. And when the server apparatus 500 receives the acquisition request | requirement of the game information registered into DB from the portable terminal 400, information (accumulated information and processing) is received based on the received individual identification information or user ID together with the acquisition request. Or the information may be transmitted to the portable terminal 400.

  In addition, when the “game recording end” item is selected, the sub CPU 71 of the gaming machine 1 may erase the game content recorded so far. In this case, for example, even when a player other than the player who uses the game information providing service newly uses the game information providing service, a storage area for recording the game content in the sub RAM 73 is prepared separately. Therefore, the storage area can be used efficiently. Further, it is possible to prevent a player who newly plays a game from obtaining the game content of the previous player.

  In the above-described embodiment, the player selects and sets the prescribed number of games (the prescribed number of games) when a predetermined event occurs. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the gaming machine 1 automatically It may be determined.

  In addition, not only when the prescribed number of games is selected at the start of the prescribed event, for example, whether a prescribed game period (specified game time) is selected and whether the prescribed event has been cleared based on the selected prescribed game period. You may make it discriminate | determine.

  Hereinafter, as another embodiment of the present invention, a case will be described in which a prescribed game period is selected at the start of a predetermined event.

  FIG. 89 shows a configuration example of the sub control circuit 70 ′ of a gaming machine according to another embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part as the gaming machine 1 demonstrated previously, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  That is, in another embodiment of the present invention, the sub control circuit 70 ′ of the gaming machine includes a timer 99. The timer 99 is a time measuring means whose operation is controlled by the sub CPU 71, and for example, measures the time from the start to the end of a predetermined event (elapse of specified game time).

  Based on the establishment of a predetermined generation condition, for example, winning a bell role (or winning a special lottery performed for the occurrence of a predetermined event) during the provision of the game information providing service, A predetermined event that is not related to the grant of a medal (game medium) is generated during a predetermined specified game time (specified game time), and according to a specific internal winning combination 1 won for each unit game during the predetermined event Calculate the cumulative value of points (total point value).

  Further, the sub CPU 71 sets a predetermined number of games as a predetermined number of games (number of normal games) corresponding to a predetermined specified game time. The sub CPU 71 according to another embodiment of the present invention constitutes a norm defining means.

  Here, in another embodiment of the present invention, as the prescribed game period, a plurality of prescribed game times (for example, 50 minutes, 60 minutes, and 70 minutes) are prescribed in advance, and a norma game that can be surely consumed every prescribed game time. Numbers (for example, 500G, 600G, 700G) are defined in advance. The player can select any one of a plurality of prescribed game times according to the player's game time, the desired privilege, etc., and the number of normal games that are actually consumed within the selected prescribed game time. Will be selected. For example, a player who has generated a predetermined event during login may select one of 50 minutes, 60 minutes, and 70 minutes depending on what he wants to acquire as the remaining time of the game time or a predetermined privilege. Choose as. More specifically, from a dedicated screen displayed in the liquid crystal display area 23 when a predetermined event occurs, for example, when the player selects a prescribed game time with the selection button 24 and presses the decision button 25, The specified game time is selected. Along with this selection, the sub CPU 71 reads, for example, the number of normal games corresponding to one selected specified game time from the sub ROM 72 and stores it in a predetermined area (normal game number storage area) in the sub RAM 73. That is, in another embodiment of the present invention, the sub CPU 71 constitutes a game period selection unit.

  In addition, during a predetermined event, a specific internal winning combination 1 (for example, a cherry winning combination (more specifically, a cherry corresponding to a winning number 7, 8, 28-33, 40, 41) is determined by an internal lottery performed for each unit game. By winning the combination (see FIG. 12))), a predetermined point value (for example, 100 points) can be obtained.

  Here, it is given based on the selected specified game time, the number of quota games allocated for each specified game time, and the cumulative value (total point value) of points that must be acquired within the specified game time. The contents of the privilege will be described.

  For example, if 50 minutes is selected as the prescribed game time, 500G is set as the number of normal games. In this case, on the condition that 500G is digested when 50 minutes have passed, the event is cleared when the cumulative value of points after 50 minutes has exceeded 500 points (at least 5 wins for cherry) In addition to the first mobile standby screen, a password that can customize the background image of the character can be acquired as a privilege. Also, for example, if the cumulative value of points after 50 minutes has passed 600 points (at least 6 wins for cherry), clear the event and customize the character's costume along with the first mobile standby screen A password that can be used can be acquired as a privilege. Furthermore, for example, if the cumulative value of points after 50 minutes has exceeded 700 points (at least 7 wins for the cherry role), the event will be cleared and the character's costume and background will be displayed along with the first mobile standby screen. A password that can customize the image can be acquired as a privilege.

  On the other hand, for example, if 60 minutes is selected as the prescribed game time, 600G is set as the number of normal games. In this case, the event is cleared if the cumulative value of points after 60 minutes has passed 600 points (at least 6 wins in the role of cherry) on the condition that 60G has been consumed. In addition to a second mobile standby screen different from the first mobile standby screen, a password that can customize the character background image can be acquired as a privilege. Also, for example, if the cumulative value of points after 60 minutes has passed 700 points (at least 7 wins for the cherry role), clear the event and customize the character costume along with the second mobile standby screen A password that can be used can be acquired as a privilege. Furthermore, for example, if the cumulative value of points after 60 minutes has exceeded 800 points (at least 8 wins in the role of cherry), the event is cleared, and the character's costume and background are displayed together with the second mobile standby screen. A password that can customize the image can be acquired as a privilege.

  On the other hand, if 70 minutes is selected as the prescribed game time, 700G is set as the number of normal games. In this case, on the condition that 700G has been digested when 70 minutes have passed, the event is cleared when the cumulative value of points after 70 minutes has exceeded 700 points (at least 7 wins for the cherry role) A password that can customize the background image of the character can be acquired as a privilege together with a third mobile standby screen different from the first and second mobile standby screens. Also, for example, if the cumulative value of points after 70 minutes has passed over 800 points (at least 8 wins for the cherry role), clear the event and customize the character's costume along with the third mobile standby screen A password that can be used can be acquired as a privilege. Furthermore, for example, when the cumulative value of points after 70 minutes has exceeded 900 points (at least in the case of winning 9 times for the role of cherry), the event is cleared and the character's costume and background are displayed along with the third mobile standby screen. A password that can customize the image can be acquired as a privilege.

  In this way, the benefits provided to the player are, for example, at least for each unit game related to a predetermined event, on condition that all games of the number of quota games have been performed (digested) within a specified game time. Since it changes depending on the cumulative value of points according to the winning internal winning combination 1 (for example, the cherry combination), it is possible to enhance the interest of the game during the predetermined event.

  Further, in a predetermined event, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a specific internal winning combination 2 (different from the specific internal winning combination 1 such as an ice winning combination (more specifically, winning number 9, 10 and 34-39 (see FIG. 12))), and a reduction number is used to reduce the remaining game number of the normal game number by a predetermined lottery probability. The number of games (for example, 100G) is determined. Note that the number of reductions is not limited to a predetermined value (here, 100 G), and a different number of reductions may be determined according to the lottery result. The sub CPU 71 according to another embodiment of the present invention constitutes a reduction number determining means.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 90, processing performed in a gaming system having a gaming machine, a portable terminal, and a server device according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, only the parts different from the processing in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 87 will be described. That is, FIG. 90 exemplifies a case where the player selects a specified game time when a predetermined event occurs and generates privilege information from the specified game time, the number of quota games, and the accumulated point value when the predetermined event ends. doing.

  After passing through steps S1001 to S1006 in FIG. 87, as shown in step S1007 in FIG. 90, in the gaming machine, on the condition that a specific combination (for example, a bell combination) is won internally as the game progresses, Assume that a predetermined vent has occurred. Then, in the gaming machine, the sub CPU 71 causes the liquid crystal display area 23 to display a dedicated screen for selecting the specified game time when a predetermined event occurs. As a result, the player presses the selection button 24 and the decision button 25 to select a prescribed game time to be digested as a predetermined event (step S2001).

  Then, the sub CPU 71 sets the number of normal games corresponding to the selected specified game time (step S2002). Further, the sub CPU 71 starts time measurement by the timer 99.

  In this way, in the gaming machine, the normal game is digested with the lapse of the prescribed game time due to the occurrence of a predetermined event, and during that time, each time a specific internal winning combination 1 (for example, a cherry role) is won, the points are accumulated. 100 points are added as a value.

  Further, when the quota game is digested, when the specific internal winning combination 2 (for example, an ice winning combination) is won, the sub CPU 71 performs a reduction lottery (step S2003). When the subtraction lottery is won, the sub CPU 71 subtracts 100G as the subtraction game number from the remaining game number of the normal game number.

  Thereafter, when the specified game time elapses, the sub CPU 71 ends the timer 99 and ends the predetermined event (step S1009).

  Then, the sub CPU 71 sets the predetermined game time selected in advance according to the selected specified game time and the selected specified game time on the condition that all the remaining games excluding the reduced game number from the normal game number have been consumed. The privilege information is generated based on the number of games and the cumulative value of points acquired according to the specific internal winning combination 1 during the lapse of the prescribed game time (step S1010).

  The subsequent processing is the same as in the case of the present embodiment described above (see FIG. 87).

  Similarly to the case of selecting the prescribed game time as the prescribed game period at the start of the prescribed event as in the other embodiment of the present invention, until the prescribed game time of the prescribed event ends, The game can be promoted by the player.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 91, the process at the time of occurrence of a predetermined event by the sub CPU 71 when the game information providing service is provided will be described. FIG. 91 shows a flowchart of the predetermined event occurrence process according to another embodiment of the present invention.

  For example, when providing the game information providing service, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a predetermined event has occurred (step S2101). When the sub CPU 71 does not determine the occurrence of the predetermined event, the predetermined event occurrence process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines the occurrence of a predetermined event in association with, for example, the role of the bell when providing the game information providing service, a special screen for causing the liquid crystal display area 23 to select the specified game period is displayed. Then, the player is caused to select a prescribed game time to be digested as a predetermined event (step S2102).

  In this way, when the prescribed game time is selected at the start of the predetermined event by the player, the sub CPU 71 stores the number of normal games to be consumed within the prescribed game time in the sub RAM 73 (step S2103). At this timing, the sub CPU 71 starts measuring time by the timer 99.

  Along with the start of timing by the timer 99, the game for the number of quota games is started, and the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a specific internal winning combination 1 has been won each time the game is consumed (step S2104). ). When it is determined that a specific internal winning combination 1 has been won, a point value is added, that is, the sub CPU 71 adds 100 points as the specific internal winning combination 1 every time, for example, a cherry winning combination (step) S2105). After the point addition, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S2106.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2104 that the specific internal winning combination 1 has not been won, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the processing of step S2106 without adding points.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a specific internal winning combination 2 has been won each time each game is digested (step S2106). Here, if it is determined that the specific internal winning combination 2 is non-winning, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the processing of step S2110.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that, for example, the ice winning combination is won as the specific internal winning combination 2, the sub CPU 71 performs a subtraction lottery (step S2107) and determines whether or not the subtraction lottery is won (step S2108). ).

  In the process at step S2108, if it is determined that a reduction lottery is won, the sub CPU 71 subtracts 100G corresponding to the reduced game number from the remaining game number of the normal game number, for example (step S2109). On the other hand, if it is determined that the deduction lottery is non-winning, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the process of step S2110.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the selected specified game time has been counted by the timer 99, that is, whether or not the specified game time has elapsed (step S2110).

  If the sub CPU 71 determines that the prescribed game time has not elapsed in the process of step S2110, the sub CPU 71 repeats the processes of step S2104 to step S2110.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S2110, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the specified game time has elapsed, it is a condition that all the remaining games excluding the reduced game number from the normal game number have been consumed within the specified game time. Then, it is determined whether or not a predetermined privilege has been acquired based on at least the total point value (step S2111). That is, in the sub CPU 71, from the selected specified game time, the number of normal games corresponding to the specified game time, and the cumulative value of points corresponding to a specific internal winning combination 1 won within the specified game time. It is determined whether or not a predetermined event has been cleared. For example, if 50 minutes is selected as the prescribed game time and 500G is set as the number of normal games corresponding to the prescribed game time, the sub CPU 71 sets all the 500G (or the subtraction lottery (specific internal winning combination 2)). It is determined that the predetermined event has been cleared when the accumulated value of points after 50 minutes has exceeded 500 points on condition that all 400G) have been digested within 50 minutes.

  If the sub CPU 71 does not determine that the predetermined event has been cleared, the sub CPU 71 ends the process when the predetermined event occurs. If it is determined that the predetermined event has been cleared, the sub CPU 71 determines the selected specified game time, the number of normal games corresponding to the specified game time, and the specific internal winnings won within the specified game time. After generating the privilege information based on the accumulated value of the points corresponding to the combination 1 (step S2112), the predetermined event occurrence process is terminated.

  Thus, even when the configuration according to the other embodiment is used, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be expected. That is, the game can be promoted at least within the prescribed game time (period) when the predetermined event occurs.

  In addition, the privilege provided to the player is, for example, a specific internal winning combination that is won at least for each unit game related to the predetermined event, on condition that all the games of the quota game can be consumed within the prescribed game time. Since it changes depending on the accumulated value of points according to 1 (for example, cherry role), it is possible to enhance the interest of the game during a predetermined event.

  In addition, by setting the number of quota games internally according to the specified game time, it is possible to intentionally delay the game during the specified game time and prevent attempts to clear the specified game time by using a small number of games. it can.

  Furthermore, since the number of games that can be consumed within the prescribed game time can be changed according to the result of the subtraction lottery, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the game such as the occurrence of strategy.

  In another embodiment of the present invention, the sub CPU 71 is configured to use all the remaining games obtained by subtracting (excluding) the number of subtracted games from the number of remaining games of the normal number of games. It may be determined whether or not a predetermined event has been cleared from the number of games, that is, privilege information may be generated.

  In addition, in the present embodiment and other embodiments, the case where the gaming machine 1 is a pachislot machine has been described. However, the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to, for example, a pachinko machine having a symbol variation display device.

  Further, a game may be promoted by forming a team by a plurality of players using the game information providing service and competing for ranking such as privilege acquisition within the team or in units of teams.

  As described above, the gaming machine and the gaming system according to the present invention have an effect that the operation of the gaming machine can be promoted, and are useful for a gaming system including a pachislot machine.
