[Pachislot functional flow]
Embodiments of the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, with reference to FIG. 1, the functional flow of the gaming machine (hereinafter, pachislot) 1 in the present embodiment will be described.

  When a player inserts a medal and the start lever 6 is operated, one value (hereinafter, random number value) is extracted from random numbers in a predetermined numerical value range (for example, 0 to 65535).

  The internal winning combination determining means (main CPU 31 described later) performs lottery based on the extracted random number value to determine an internal winning combination. By the determination of the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols permitting display along the later-described effective line (upper stage-upper stage-upper stage) is determined. It should be noted that as a type of combination of symbols, there are provided ones pertaining to the "winning" in which the player is given a privilege such as payout of medals, operation of replay, etc., and others relating to so-called "loss". There is.

  Subsequently, when the player presses the stop button 7L, 7C, 7R after the plurality of reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotated, the reel stop control means (motor drive circuit 39 described later, stepping described later) The motors 49L, 49C, 49R) perform control to stop the rotation of the corresponding reels 3L, 3C, 3R based on the internal winning combination and the timing when the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R are pressed.

  Here, in the pachi slot 1, basically, control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reels 3L, 3C, 3R within a specified time (190 msec) after the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R are pressed. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols moving with the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R within the specified time is called "the number of sliding pieces", and the maximum number is determined to be four symbols.

  The reel stop control means uses the specified time to display the combination of symbols as much as possible along the effective line when the internal winning combination permitting display of the combination of symbols relating to winning is determined. Thus, the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped. On the other hand, for combinations of symbols whose display is not permitted by the internal winning combination, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotated so as not to be displayed along the effective line using the above-mentioned prescribed time Stop.

  Thus, when the rotations of the plurality of reels 3L, 3C, 3R are all stopped, the prize determination means (main CPU 31 described later) determines whether the combination of the symbols displayed along the activated line relates to a prize It judges whether or not. When it is determined that the game is related to winning, a bonus such as payout of medals is given to the player. A series of flows as described above are performed as one game (unit game) in the pachislot machine 1.

  In the present embodiment, the first stop operation (operation of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R) of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, which is performed first when all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotating, is the first operation. The stop operation performed subsequent to the first stop operation is referred to as a second stop operation, and the stop operation performed subsequent to the second stop operation is referred to as a third stop operation. Further, the stop control associated with the first stop operation is referred to as a first stop, and the stop controls associated with the second stop operation and the third stop operation are referred to as a second stop and a third stop, respectively.

  Further, in the pachi slot 1, various effects are performed using the output of the image performed by the liquid crystal display device 5, the output of the sound performed by the speakers 9L and 9R, or the combination thereof in the above-described series of flows.

  When the player operates the start lever 6, a random value for presentation (hereinafter, random number for presentation) is extracted separately from the random number used to determine the internal winning combination described above. When the effect random number value is extracted, the effect content determination means (sub-CPU 81 described later) randomly determines what is to be executed this time out of a plurality of types of effect content associated with the internal winning combination.

  When the contents of the effect are determined, the effect executing means (liquid crystal display device 5 to be described later and speakers 9L and 9R to be described later) start rotating the reels 3L, 3C and 3R, respectively, of the reels 3L, 3C and 3R. When the rotation is stopped respectively, the execution of the effect is advanced in conjunction with each trigger such as when the presence or absence of a prize is determined. As described above, in Pachi-Slo 1, the player has an opportunity to know or predict the determined internal winning combination (in other words, the combination of the symbols to be aimed) by executing the presentation contents corresponding to the internal winning combination. It is provided to improve the player's interest.

<Transition of gaming state>
The Pachislot 1 according to the present embodiment shifts to an RT gaming state (replay high probability gaming state) advantageous to the player, and in this RT gaming state, an ART (assist replay time) for assisting the winning of a small combination is provided. It is a thing.

Specifically, in the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 transition lip is determined as an internal winning combination, and only when the order of the player's stop operation matches the predetermined stop operation order. FIG. 9 shows the order of the stop operation in which the RT2 transition ripple is won. In order to inform the player of the order of the stop operation that such an RT2 transition ripple will be won, the pachislot 1 may notify the order of the stop operation. By receiving such notification, the player can shift from the RT1 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state.

  By the way, referring to FIG. 9, when the data pointers 5 to 9 are determined as the internal winning combination, if the first stop operation is the stop operation for the left reel 3L, the RT2 transition lip is won There is no The pachi slot 1 may inform the player of the order of the stop operation, but on the other than the left reel 3L as the first stop operation in a state where the notification of the stop operation is not performed, that is, the stop operation for the reels 3C and 3R. In the event of a failure, a penalty for informing the order of the stop operation is given. Therefore, in the state where the notification of the stop operation is not performed, the player performs the stop operation on the left reel 3L as the first stop operation.

  By providing such a penalty, transition from the RT1 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state basically does not occur (unless the penalty is ignored) in the state where the notification of the stop operation is not performed.

(RT3 Transition Lip)
The RT3 transition lip is a winning combination in the RT1 gaming state.
Here, in the RT1 gaming state, there is a possibility that the RT3 transition lip is won when the data pointers 5 to 9 described later are determined as internal winning combinations. Specifically, in the RT1 gaming state, the RT3 transition lip is determined as an internal winning combination, and the player wins only when the order of the player's stop operation matches the predetermined order of the stop operation. FIG. 9 shows the order of the stop operation in which the RT3 transition ripple is to be won. In order to inform the player of the order of the stop operation that such an RT3 transition ripple will be won, the pachislot 1 may notify the order of the stop operation. By receiving such notification, the player can shift from the RT1 gaming state to the RT3 gaming state.

[Transition of control state of sub control circuit (sub)]
FIGS. 3 and 4 are diagrams showing the transition of the state (sub gaming state) controlled by the sub control circuit 72. FIG. FIG. 3 shows a state in which the sub control circuit 72 may shift to the sub gaming state when the state (main gaming state) controlled by the main control circuit 71 is the RT1 gaming state or the RT2 gaming state. ing. This state includes a normal state and an ART ready state. In addition, there is a chance zone (chance zone 1, chance zone 2, chance zone 3) between the normal state and the ART preparation state, and the transition from the normal state to the chance zone is made when predetermined conditions are satisfied. Can. After transitioning to the chance zone, there is a possibility of transitioning to an ART advantageous to the player through the ART preparation state by satisfying the condition according to the shifted chance zone.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which there is a possibility of transition as a sub game state when the main game state is the RT3 game state (ART). In this state, there are an ART start addition state, an ART normal state, an ART addition lottery state, an ART addition state, and an ART continuous lottery state. Further, there are precursor states between the ART normal state and the ART added lottery state, and between the ART normal state and the ART added state, respectively.

<Control of normal state>
(Basic control)
In the sub control circuit 72, in the normal state, mode transition lottery is performed based on the internal winning combination obtained from the main control circuit 71. Then, it shifts to the chance zone 1 by the lottery based on the current mode (usually, either high or ultra high probability) shifted by the mode shift lottery and the internal winning combination obtained from the main control circuit 71. In addition, it shifts to the chance zone 2 according to the number of the digested games (the number of canceled games). Regarding the transition to chance zone 2, there is a fake that does not actually shift from the chance zone 2 to the ART preparation state, and in this case, to fake chance zone 2 according to the number of games consumed (the number of fake canceled games). It will be migrated. In addition, when the transition to the chance zone 2 (fake) is made, the situation may further shift to the chance zone 3. In any of these chance zones 1 to 3, the main control circuit 71 does not directly perform ART lottery by a specific internal winning combination that is the result of internal lottery in the main control circuit 71, and the sub control circuit 72 Control to the ART preparation state, which is the control state (sub gaming state) of the sub control circuit 72, through each chance zone (chance zones 1 to 3) (or by winning of 7 sets of reps), In the preparation state, the pushing order of the RT3 transition ripple is informed, and the RT3 ripple is won, thereby shifting to ART (RT3 gaming state which is the main gaming state).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, in the sub-control circuit 72, in the normal state, transition lottery in mode (normal, high accuracy, ultra high accuracy) is performed based on the internal winning combination (FIG. 100, step S782).

  Then, in the normal state, a lottery based on the mode and the internal winning combination in the normal state is performed, and when the lottery is won, transition to the chance zone 1 is made via the precursor game. In addition to the lottery based on the mode and the internal winning combination, the chance zone 1 may be transitioned through the precursor game even when reaching the ceiling. The precursor game is a game in which a player is made to foresee a precursor to transition to ART.

  Also, in the normal state, transition to the chance zone 2 according to the number of games is also performed. In this case, there are a case of transitioning to the ART preparation after transitioning to the chance zone 2 and a case of returning to the normal state (fake) after transitioning to the chance zone 2. In any case, first, when the predetermined number of games is digested, the player is in a precursor state, and a precursor effect is produced to make the player foresee the state likely to shift to any state. Specifically, in the case of transition from the chance zone 2 to the ART preparation state, a precursor game in which an effect is performed when the number of digested games reaches a predetermined number of games (for example, 40 games) until the number of canceled games is consumed. A number (for example, 32 games) is set. Then, when the precursor game number is digested (when the precursor game number becomes “0”), the game shifts to the chance zone 2. Then, when the number of remaining games (for example, eight games) up to the end of the number of canceled games is digested in the chance zone 2, it is informed that a lottery has been won, and it shifts to ART preparation. On the other hand, in the case of fake, when the number of digested games reaches a predetermined number of games (for example, 40 games) until the number of fake canceled games is consumed, the number of foreword games (for example, 32 games) for which a leading effect is performed is set . Then, when the number of precursor games is digested, the game shifts to chance zone 2. Then, when the number of remaining games (for example, eight games) up to the end of the fake cancellation game count is digested in the chance zone 2, it is informed that the lottery has been lost and the normal game is returned. However, even in the case of fake, when winning a predetermined lottery and winning a specific combination (RT2 transition lip), it is possible to shift to the chance zone 3 without returning to the normal state.

  In FIG. 3, the normal state, the chance zone 1, the chance zone 2 and the ART preparation state are states in which the gaming state of the main control circuit 71 shown in FIG. 2 is the RT1 gaming state, and the chances in FIG. In zone 3, the gaming state of the main control circuit 71 shown in FIG. 2 is in the RT2 gaming state. And when it transfers to ART via ART preparation state, as a game state of the main control circuit 71, it will be in RT3 game state. (Origin of ART transition)

  When the player wins in chance zone 1 (battle) as a trigger to shift to ART in the normal state of the sub gaming state (FIG. 103, step S 862, step S 863), the number of canceled games in chance zone 2 If reached (Fig. 104, step S 887, step S 888, step S 891), 7 matches navigation occurs in the chance zone 3, and win 7 wins in the rare 7 match part (any of 7 matches lip) except in the chance zone 3 (FIG. 102, step S822, step S823, step S824). When these conditions are satisfied, the ART is started from the time when the RT3 transition message is displayed in a state in which the right to transition to the ART is granted (during ART preparation).

(Chance zone 1)
The chance zone 1 is a sub gaming state in which transition is made via a precursor state when winning a lottery based on the above-described mode and the internal winning combination in the normal state. In the chance zone 1, continuous effects such as during a battle in an RPG game are performed. Further, in the chance zone 1, (1) any one of the friendly attack or the enemy attack, and (2) the damage caused by the attack are respectively determined by the lottery.

  Then, if the life of the enemy becomes "0" before the life of the friend becomes "0", it shifts to the ART preparation state which is the sub gaming state (FIG. 103, step S862, step S863). In this ART preparation state, the pushing order for winning the RT3 transition lip is informed. Then, when the RT3 transition message is displayed, the main game state under the control of the main control circuit 71 is shifted to the RT3 game state (ART). Thus, it can be said that the chance zone 1 is a chance zone (internal winning combination dependent type) released by the player by himself.

(Chance zone 2)
The chance zone 2 is a sub game state in which the transition from the normal state to the precursor state is made. The number of digested games that can shift to the chance zone 2 (number of canceled games) is determined by the sub control circuit 72 according to the mode and the set value (FIG. 100, step S783), and the number of digested games is the number of canceled games The number of prognostic games (for example, 32 games) is set in the sub control circuit 72 before the number of predetermined games reaches (for example, 40), and the number of the prescribed number of games up to the number of canceled games is calculated. The chance zone 2 is executed by the number of games (for example, eight games) which is a difference between (for example, 40 games) and the number of prognostic games (for example, 32 games).

  In the game immediately before the transition to the chance zone 2, an effect of closing the door is performed as an effect on the liquid crystal.

  Further, in the case of fake, the number of digested games (number of fake canceled games) that can shift to chance zone 2 (fake) is determined by the sub control circuit 72 according to the mode and the set value (FIG. 100). In step S784, the number of prognostic games (for example, 32) is set in the sub control circuit 72 before the predetermined number of games for which the number of digested games reaches the number of fake cancellations (for example, 40). In this case, in the chance zone 2, when the middle of the RT1 is won in the next game transferred to the chance zone 2, the pushing order for winning the RT2 transition lip is notified, and the chance of the RT2 transition lip being won It is configured to transition to zone 3 (FIG. 3). As to the notification of the pressing order for winning the RT2 transition lip, it may be determined whether to notify by lottery.

  On the other hand, chance zone 2 (fake) is continued if the following game does not win in the middle of RT1.

When the number of canceled games has been reached, the state shifts to the ART preparation state, which is the sub game state. In this ART preparation state, the pushing order for winning the RT3 transition lip is informed. Then, when the RT3 transition message is displayed, the main game state under the control of the main control circuit 71 is shifted to the RT3 game state (ART).
Also, in the case of fake, there is basically no transition to ART. This is because the chance zone 2 is configured to end in the fake cancellation game number process. Since there is no transition to ART in the case of fake in this way, the opportunity zone 3 provides an opportunity to transition from ART to ART via the chance zone 3 once.

  Incidentally, the effect in the chance zone 2 is an effect in which a boss character appears when the door on the liquid crystal opens, and a boss character usually appears in the chance zone 2. On the other hand, in the chance zone 3, a rare boss character appears.

  As described above, in the chance zone 2, continuous effects before transition to ART or continuous effects giving an expectation that they may transition to ART are performed.

(Chance zone 3)
The chance zone 3 is, as described above for the chance zone 2, a sub-playing state that may transition via the chance zone 2. In this chance zone 3, it is determined by lottery whether or not the pushing order of 7 sets of ribs is notified at the time of winning RT2 during the ripening (FIG. 105, step S916, step S917), and when the information is received, 7 will be completed. , And transition to the ART preparation state which is a sub gaming state. In this ART preparation state, the pushing order for winning the RT3 transition lip is informed. Then, when the RT3 transition message is displayed, the main game state under the control of the main control circuit 71 is shifted to the RT3 game state (ART). Thus, it can be said that the chance zone 3 is a chance zone (sub notification lottery dependent) which the player releases by himself.

  In addition, when the pushing order of the seven sets of reps is not notified, the pushing order for winning in the reps (upper stage rep, cross down rep) which does not shift to RT1 is informed until the number of continuing games is consumed. And the navigation disappears by the consumption of the number of continuation games.

(Summary of normal condition)
As described above, in the normal state in the sub gaming state, it is configured to shift to the chance zone 2 based on the fact that the specific game number determined by the lottery is digested from a predetermined point in time Regardless of the result, it is possible to periodically give the player a sense of expectation.

  In addition, when it is decided to shift to chance zone 2 (in the case of fake) regarding the transition of ART in the normal gaming state, a predetermined effect (door) is displayed at the end of the previous game at the time of transition, and pressed in the next game Based on the success of the order replay, the notification to shift to a different RT state and the configuration to shift to the more advantageous chance zone 3 allow the player to intervene in the expectation of the chance zone. It is possible for the player to have a sense of expectation.

  Furthermore, the rendition according to chance zone 2 may be configured to occur when the right to shift to ART has already been granted. In this case, the rendition according to chance zone 2 is the original chance zone It is possible to further have a sense of anticipation as to whether it is due to

<Control of ART state>
(Basic control)
FIG. 4 shows state transition in the sub control circuit 72 during ART. During ART, navigation is not made to shift to RT1 (notice that the order to move to RT1 is not displayed, and notification is made that order to move to RT1 pattern is not displayed), and also performs a small winning combination where the number of acquisitions increases (Step S1248 in FIG. 114, step S1276 in FIG. 115).

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the sub control circuit 72, when winning from the normal state as the sub gaming state to the RT3 transition lip via the ART preparation state, the ART start time is one of the sub gaming states in the ART Move to the game number addition state. At the time of ART transition, it is determined how many times the 7-set navigation is performed (7 navigation stock value) (FIG. 114, step S1243).

(Attack the number of games at ART start)
In the ART start game number increase state, the pushing order of 7 sets of navigation times is informed, and the number of ART games is added whenever 7 is obtained (FIG. 124, step S1759).

  In addition, in the ART start game number addition state, it is randomly extracted at the main (main control circuit 71) side whether or not the long lock will be performed when 7 are aligned, and the sub (sub control circuit 72) side is based on the result of the selection. Then, the number of ART games is added (FIG. 124, step S1757, step S1758). The long lock means that the progress of the game is temporarily stopped for a relatively long time, and in the present embodiment, the long lock state is visually made to the player by stopping the operation of the reel. It is configured to be able to be recognized.

  Further, it is randomly determined whether or not to add every seven last battle points used in the ART continuous lottery state (described later) (FIG. 124, step S1755). In addition, it is comprised so that the lottery of more advantageous point provision may be performed, whenever seven sets are displayed predetermined times (including the first 7 sets) (FIG. 47). The 7 navi stock value (navi frequency) is subtracted each time 7 sets of navi are performed (Fig. 114, step S1247), and when the 7 navi stock value (navi frequency) becomes "0", the ART normal state is entered. It transfers (FIG. 124, step S1761, step S1762).

(ART normal state)
The ART normal state is a sub game state in which the number of ART games acquired is consumed.
In the ART normal state, the transition to the ART added lottery state or the ART added state is performed by the lottery based on the internal winning combination (FIG. 115, step S1272). When the transition lottery is won, it shifts to the ART added lottery state or the ART added state according to the winning content through the aura. When the transition to the ART added state is determined, 7 navistock values are given (FIG. 118, step S1346), and 7 navistock values are further given if 7 is aligned even in the subsequent ART added state. (FIG. 125, step S1785).

(ART addition lottery state)
In the ART added lottery state, as in the normal condition described above with reference to FIG. 3, if the enemy's life point becomes “0” before the friend's life point becomes “0” (the battle is won), it shifts to the ART added state. (Fig. 117, step S1320), and if the life point of the friend becomes "0" before the enemy's life point becomes "0" (the battle is lost), it shifts to ART normal state (Fig. 117, step S1318) .

  Although the remaining points are not subtracted in the ART-plus-lottery state, it may be subtracted, and the state is not shifted if the number of remaining ART games is less than the average number of games continued. It may be configured.

(ART added state)
In the ART-added state where the battle is won and shifted, two bonuses with different degrees of expectation are provided. The first bonus (ART added state 1) has a relatively low expectation, and the second bonus (ART added state 2) has a relatively high expected value.

  As described above, the ART normal state may be directly transferred to the ART additional state without passing through the ART additional lottery state, and in this case, the second bonus (ART additional state 2) is always selected. (FIG. 118, step S1344, step S1345). Otherwise, at the time of entry, either the first bonus (ART added state 1) or the second bonus (ART added state 2) is determined by lottery (FIG. 118, step S 1344, step S 1347) .

  The ART addition state is basically fixed to 30 games (FIG. 118, step S 1342), and when the lottery is won while shifting to the navigation mode within the 30 games, the pushing order of seven sets is notified (FIG. 118, step S1353). When seven times are aligned, the transition to the state of adding the number of games at the start of the next ART is decided. In this case, the number of ART games is not added.

  In addition, based on the internal winning combination, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the bonus is to be made continuous only in the final game of the 30 games in the ART added state. When winning, the initial 30 games are set again. In addition, if reach reach lip is won within 30 games in the ART-superimposed state, consecutive villas are decided.

  Thus, in the ART-added state, a pseudo bonus state is created by changing only the state on the sub. In this pseudo bonus state, the small winning probability does not change.

(ART continuous lottery status)
On the other hand, when the ART game number is "0" and the 7 navistock value is also "0" in the ART normal state, the state shifts to the ART continuous lottery state (FIG. 116, step S1292, step S1293, step S1295). The ART continuous lottery state is a state in which the number of ART games is consumed and there is no right to shift to the ART lottery state or to the ART game state.

  In the ART continuous lottery state, an initial map is determined based on the last battle point determined in the ART start game number-added state (FIG. 119, step S1372). This map may be changed based on the internal winning combination during the ART continuous lottery state (FIG. 119, step S1374).

  If the map continues, the state shifts to the ART start game number addition state again (FIG. 119, step S 1378, step S 1379), and seven sets of navigation are performed the number of times determined at the time of transition (FIG. 114, Step S1243, Step S1244, Step S1244).

  If the map is to be ended (FIG. 119, step S1376 (YES)), the navigation not to shift to RT1 is finished, and as a result is not notified, the lip to shift to RT1 or the RT1 shift symbol is displayed, and the ART is ended. Do.

  As described above, in the ART continuous lottery state, the appearance is a battle effect, and in the case of map continuation, an effect of winning is performed, and in the case of map end, an effect of losing the battle is performed.

  When continuation is determined in the ART continuous lottery state (FIG. 119, step S1377), 7 navistock value is determined, and the state is shifted to the ART start game number addition state again (FIG. 119, step S1379).

  Also, in the ART continuous lottery state, when the end is determined, the push order navigation of the small winning combination and the replay is lost (FIG. 119, step S1376 (YES)), and as a result, a transition is made to RT transition symbol or RT1 (lower stage lip , The cross-up lip) is displayed, and the ART ends.

(Save function)
When a specific small combination (save player (in the case of this embodiment, middle level chiripi)) is won during ART (at ART start-up game number, ART normal state, ART addition lottery state and ART addition state) Depending on the state, at least the number of remaining games is saved, and the number of saved games is loaded after the end of ART. That is, the save function is set in the ART as a privilege when the middle tier winning is won.

  In the case of ART start game number addition state, after winning (winning) the save combination, “50” is added to the ART game number at the end of the state and saved (FIG. 120, step S1405-step S1406-step S1408-step S1409-step S1411-step S1401-step S1402-step S1403). Last battle points are also saved.

  In the case of ART normal state, "50" is added to the number of ART games at the time of winning (or winning) in the save combination and saved (FIG. 120, step S1405-step S step S1406-step S1408-step S1409-step S1410). Last battle points are also saved. Furthermore, if the right of ART plus lottery status is granted, the right is also saved.

  In the case of the ART addition lottery state, "50" is added to the number of ART games at the time of winning (or winning) in the save combination and saved (FIG. 120, step S1405-step S1406-step S1408-step S1409-step S1411). Step S1401-Step S1402-Step S1403). Last battle points are also saved. In addition, the winning state of ART plus lottery state is saved.

  In the case of the ART added state, after the winning combination (or winning) of the save combination is made, “50” is added to the ART game number and saved at the end of the next ART start game added state (FIG. 120, step S1405) Step S1406-Step S1408-Step S1409-Step S1411-Step S1401-Step S1402-Step S1403). Last battle points are also saved. Furthermore, the initial value of the ART addition state is saved.

  In the case of the ART continuous lottery state, "50" is added to the number of ART games at the end of the next ART start, and the game is saved (FIG. 120, steps S1405-S1406-S1408). Step S1409-Step S1411-Step S1401-Step S1402-Step S1403). Last battle points are also saved. Moreover, it becomes continuation decision by this save.

  In addition, the save is not performed in plural (if the middle step is pulled during the save, the right to be added the number of games at ART start is granted).

  The save data described above is loaded at the time of bet operation after the map is finished in the ART continuous lottery state and the ART is once finished.

  Thus, when the ART start game added state, the ART normal state, the ART added state, and the ART added lottery state are performed, and in each state, a specific small combination (saved pause) is won. By configuring to save at least the number of remaining games according to each state and load it after the end of ART, in ART normal state, it is possible to have an expectation for ART addition at any time, and the addition is specified Since it fluctuates depending on a predetermined factor (the number of remaining games, ART's gaming state, mode, etc.) when the small winning combination is won, it becomes possible to further improve the interest of the game.

  At the time of the above-mentioned save, in addition to the number of ART games, the contents of the effect at that time (render stage and sound effects (BGM)) are also saved. For example, when a plurality of stay stages are provided, it is possible to save the effect contents according to the stay stages. As a result, at the time of loading, it is possible for the player to easily recognize which state has returned.

  In the above-described ART (art start state at ART start, ART normal state, ART addition lottery state and ART addition state), all on the main (main control circuit 71), it becomes the same game state (RT3) In addition, the seven sets of Lips are not a trigger for changing the gaming state.

  As described above, the sub control circuit 72 manages the addition state at the start of ART, the addition state of ART, the ART normal state, and the ART addition lottery state for performing lottery to shift to the ART addition state, and the main control circuit At 71, it is configured to be the same gaming state (RT3 gaming state), and the transition trigger from ART normal state to ART start game number addition state or ART addition state is a specific combination that does not change the main gaming state. Specific symbol combination (7 red uniforms) pertaining to is displayed, and the transition opportunity from ART normal state to ART addition to ART lottery state is the winning of the predetermined part, etc., and in ART normal state, the specific part As to whether or not to notify the operating procedure for displaying a specific symbol combination at the time of winning, or when a specific symbol combination is displayed, By deciding whether to shift to the game start state at RT start or to the ART add state by another lottery etc., the transition to the ART start state at game start or ART add state is always performed in ART normal state. The player's expectation can be continued with regard to the transition to the ART added lottery state.

  Further, on the main control circuit 71, by setting the same gaming state, for example, even if the operation is performed in the stop operation order different from the notified stop operation order, the player is not able to move due to the change of the main game state or the like. There will be no profits, nor will gaming companies suffer unforeseen disadvantages. That is, it also contributes to the fair adjustment of the game.

  Further, the storage area related to the control of the main control circuit 71 can be reduced, and since the free area can be used for another purpose, it becomes possible to further improve the interest of the game.

[Structure of Pachislot]
The explanation of the functional flow of the pachislot 1 is as described above. Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the structure of the pachi slot 1 in the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 5 shows the external structure of the pachi slot 1 in the present embodiment.

  The pachislot 1 is a gaming machine which uses a gaming medium such as a card storing information of a gaming value given or given to a player, in addition to coins, medals, gaming balls or tokens. Below, it demonstrates as what uses a medal.

  The housing 4 forming the whole of the pachi slot 1 includes a box-like cabinet 60 and a front door 2 for opening and closing the cabinet 60. On the left and right of the front door 2 front, lamps 14 capable of emitting light of a plurality of colors are provided.

The lamp 14 may be an existing light emitting element as long as it can emit light of at least green, yellow, blue or red, such as a light emitting diode (LED) or organic electroluminescence (organic EL).

  In the approximate center of the front of the front door 2, vertically long rectangular display windows 21L, 21C, 21R are provided. An upper effective line 8 is set in the display windows 21L, 21C, and 21R. The valid line 8 is a line for performing a prize determination that is activated by operating a bet button 11 described later (hereinafter referred to as “BET operation”) or inserting a medal into the medal insertion slot 22. Note that the activated line 8 is referred to as an "effective line".

  On the back of the front door 2, a plurality of reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotatably provided in a horizontal row. On each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, a symbol row as identification information composed of a plurality of types of symbols necessary for the game is drawn on each outer peripheral surface, and the symbol of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is It can be viewed from the outside of the pachi slot 1 through the display windows 21L, 21C, 21R. Further, each reel 3L, 3C, 3R rotates at a constant speed (for example, 80 rotations / minute), and the symbol rows are variably displayed.

  Although not shown, reel backlights are provided inside the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R. The reel backlight illuminates the symbols of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R from behind. Three reel backlights are provided vertically aligned on one reel 3L, 3C, 3R, corresponding to the three symbols stopped and displayed in the display windows 21L, 21C, 21R.

  These reel backlights are also used for backlight effects generated after the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped.

<Main control circuit>
FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the main control circuit 71 of the pachislot 1 in the present embodiment.

(Microcomputer)
The main control circuit 71 mainly includes a microcomputer 30 installed on a circuit board. The microcomputer 30 includes a CPU (hereinafter, main CPU) 31, a ROM (hereinafter, main ROM) 32, and a RAM (hereinafter, main RAM) 33.

  The main ROM 32 stores a control program executed by the main CPU 31, a data table such as an internal lottery table, data for transmitting various control commands (commands) to the sub control circuit 72, and the like. The main RAM 33 is provided with a storage area for storing various data such as an internal winning combination determined by the execution of the control program.

(Random number generator etc)
A clock pulse generation circuit 34, a frequency divider 35, a random number generator 36, and a sampling circuit 37 are connected to the main CPU 31. Clock pulse generation circuit 34 and frequency divider 35 generate clock pulses. The main CPU 31 executes a control program based on the generated clock pulse. The random number generator 36 generates random numbers (for example, 0 to 65535) within a predetermined range. The sampling circuit 37 extracts one value from the generated random numbers.

(Switches etc.)
A switch or the like is connected to the input port of the microcomputer 30. Main CPU 31 receives an input such as a switch to control the operation of peripheral devices such as stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R. The stop switch 7S detects that each of the three stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R is pressed by the player (stop operation). The start switch 6S also detects that the start lever 6 has been operated by the player (start operation). Further, the input button switch 101S detects that the player has operated the input button 101.

  The medal sensor 42S detects that the medal accepted in the medal insertion slot 22 has passed through the inside of the selector 42 described above. Further, the bet switch 11S detects that the bet button 11 has been pressed by the player. Further, the settlement switch 12S detects that the settlement button 12 has been pressed by the player.

(Peripheral devices and circuits)
As peripheral devices whose operations are controlled by the microcomputer 30, there are stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R, a 7-segment display 13 and a hopper 40. Also, a circuit for controlling the operation of each peripheral device is connected to the output port of the microcomputer 30.

  The motor drive circuit 39 controls the drive of stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R provided corresponding to the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R. The reel position detection circuit 50 detects a reel index indicating that the reels 3L, 3C, 3R have made one rotation according to each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R by an optical sensor having a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion.

  The stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R have a configuration in which the amount of movement is proportional to the number of pulse outputs, and the rotation axis can be stopped at a designated angle. The driving forces of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R are transmitted to the reels 3L, 3C, 3R via gears having a predetermined speed reduction ratio. The reels 3L, 3C, 3R rotate at a constant angle each time a pulse is output to the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R.

  The main CPU 31 counts the number of times the pulse is output to the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R after detecting the reel index, and thereby the rotation angles of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R (mainly, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R manages the number of symbols) and manages the position of each symbol arranged on the surface of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  The display drive circuit 48 controls the operation of the 7-segment display 13. The hopper drive circuit 41 also controls the operation of the hopper 40. Further, the payout completion signal circuit 51 manages detection of medals performed by the medal detection unit 40S provided in the hopper 40, and checks whether the medals discharged from the hopper 40 to the outside have reached the number of payouts.

(External terminal board)
The external terminal board 17 externally outputs a start signal to the effect that a signal has been output from the start switch 6S, a signal indicating that transition to ART, and the like. A signal from the external terminal board 17 is input to an external device 18 such as a calling device or a hall computer, for example.

  Specifically, the pachi slot 1 outputs the IN number and the OUT number of medals to the hall computer via the external terminal board 17. The number of OUTs is output, for example, as the number of payouts at the time of the small winning combination.

  Here, a calling device which is an example of the external device 18 is for calling a store clerk in a game arcade, but generally has a function of displaying data, and is also called a data display. In the calling device, as a general function, it is possible to display the number of big bonus times and the number of regular bonus times, and it is also possible to display the number of required games between bonus games as a bonus history. The calling device can display the history of the bonus count for several days including the current day, the total number of games, etc., and for the bonus on the current day, the number of games required during the bonus can be displayed as the history. With regard to information such as various histories, it is possible to switch the displayed information by operating the operation button provided on the calling device.

  The calling device can be set so as to be able to display the number of times of ART for a gaming machine equipped with an ART such as the pachislot 1.

  For such a calling device, a signal indicating transition to ART from the pachislot 1 is generated in the main control circuit 71 when the RT3 transition ripple is displayed in the RT1 gaming state, and the external terminal board 17 is Sent through. In the case of the present embodiment, on / off control of the later-described external signals 1 and 2 output to the calling device at predetermined timings causes the calling device to display that seven sets of ripples are displayed, and RT3. The game state is displayed or the like.

[Relationship between stop operation position and winning combination (MB gaming state)]
FIG. 8 is a view showing the relationship between the internal winning combination in the MB gaming state and the winning combination (display combination) according to the stop operation order.
As shown in FIG. 8, in Pachislot 1, a plurality of roles are simultaneously determined as an internal winning combination, and any of the roles determined as an internal winning combination as shown in FIG. 8, It is made to win by the order of stop operation.
For example, at the winning number 1 to 5, any of left first stop (left middle right, left and right middle), middle first stop (middle left and right, middle right left), right first stop (right left middle, right middle left) Also in the case of order, any one of the special small role A is stopped and displayed.

  In winning number 6, in the case of the left first stop (left middle right, right and left middle) and the middle left and right among the middle first stop, any one of the special small winning combination B is stopped and displayed. Among the stops, in the case of the middle right / left push order and in the case of the push order of the right first stop (right / left middle, right middle / left), one of the special small combination A is stopped and displayed.

  In winning number 7 to 21, any pressing order of left first stop (left middle right, left and right middle), middle first stop (middle left and right, middle right left), and right first stop (right left middle, right middle left) Also in the case, any one of the special small role A is displayed stopped.

  In the winning number 22-23, in the case of the left first stop (left middle right, right and left middle), any of the special small winning combination B is stopped and displayed, and the middle first stop (middle left and right, middle right left) and the right first stop In the case of the pressing order of (right, left, middle, right, middle, left), any one of the special small winning combination A is stopped and displayed.

  In the case of winning numbers 24-25, the case of left first stop (left middle right, left and right middle) and middle left first among middle first stop (middle left and right, middle right left) and the first right stop In the case of right and left middle and right middle, left), any one of the special small winning combination A is stopped and displayed, and in the middle and left middle pressing order among the first middle stopping, any of the special small winning combination B is displayed.

  In the case of the left first stop (left middle right, right and left middle), in the winning number 26 to 29, any of the special small winning combination B is stopped and displayed, and the middle first stop (middle left and right, middle right left) and the right first stop In the case of the pressing order of (right, left, middle, right, middle, left), any one of the special small winning combination A is stopped and displayed.

  In the winning number 30 to 33, the left first stop (left middle right, left and right middle) and the middle first stop (middle left and right, middle right right left) and the middle right left pressing order, and the first right stop (right middle stop) In the case of right and left middle and right middle, left), any one of the special small winning combination A is stopped and displayed, and in the middle and left middle pressing order among the first middle stopping, any of the special small winning combination B is displayed.

  In winning numbers 34 to 35, in the case of left first stop (left middle right, right and left middle) and middle left and right among the middle first stops, any of the special small winning combination B is stopped and displayed. Among the first stops, in the case of the middle right / left push order and in the right first stop (right / left middle, right middle / left) push order, any one of the special small combination A is stopped and displayed.

  In winning number 36, in the case of any pressing order of left first stop (left middle right, left and right middle), middle first stop (middle left and right, middle right left), and right first stop (right left middle, right middle left) Also, one of the special small role B is displayed stopped.

  In the present embodiment, even when the MB is activated, there is no change in the RT gaming state which is the main gaming state, so during the MB gaming state, the lottery of each replay corresponding to the RT gaming state at that time is To be done. In this case, the winning combination is changed according to the winning replay and the stop operation order. Here, since the MB gaming state is configured to end with a payout exceeding 13 pieces, the MB gaming in one game when winning a special small winning combination A in which the number of payouts is set to 14 The state will end. However, when the special small winning combination B in which the number of payouts is specified as 13 is won, it is possible to continue the MB gaming state over two games.

  Specifically, when the number of inserted sheets is 3 and the special small combination A wins (14 sheets), the MB ends in one game, and the number of acquired players is 11 (special small combination A Winning (14 sheets)-number of inserted sheets (3 sheets) = number of acquired sheets (11 sheets)). On the other hand, when the number of inserted sheets is 3 and the special small combination B wins (13), the MB ends in 2 games, and the number of acquisitions of the player becomes 21 (special small combination B prize (13 sheets)-number of inserted sheets (3 sheets) + special small combination A prize (14 sheets)-number of inserted sheets (3 sheets) = number of acquired sheets (21 sheets)).

  When the main gaming state is a normal gaming state, it is a specific small combination that triggers ART lottery and becomes a trigger of ART game number addition lottery during ART, and the handling regarding these lottery is the control of sub control circuit 72 Above, there are special small combination A and special small combination B which are identical, and special small combination A has 6 payouts regardless of push order, and special small combination B has 6 sheets when the specific reel is stopped at the first stop, etc. When the first reel is stopped first, the stop control is performed so as to pay out 14 sheets, and during ART, a notification is made to stop the other reels first when the special small combination B is won.

  Specifically, in the diagram showing the relationship between the internal winning combination in the non-MB gaming state and the winning combination (display combination) according to the stop operation order described later in FIG. 9, the winning number 43 (watermelon A (FIG. 14) Is a winning combination in which six sheets are paid out regardless of the pushing order, and the winning number 44 (watermelon B (FIG. 14)) is a role in which 14 sheets are paid out when the first stop is in or right. The roles are the same in control of the sub control circuit 72. In the normal gaming state, except for the left first stop, since it is defined to be a penalty, the watermelons A and B both have six payouts and can not be distinguished. On the other hand, since there is no penalty in the ART, 14 sheets are paid out by the first stop during the middle stop or the right push, so even on the control of the sub control circuit 72, the main control circuit 71 has the same effect. The player is able to earn more numbers.

  As described above, the role (one of the special small roles A) from which a larger number of sheets are paid out in the ART is the same as the role displayed in the MB. In other words, in the sub game state, the role to be treated as a watermelon is configured to win during the ART. That is, in watermelon B, the part for which 14 pieces are paid out is the same as the one for winning in MB.

  By configuring in this way, when a plurality of symbol combinations for starting MB are prepared, the player may miss whether or not MB is started. When the symbol combination is displayed, the player can not determine whether the symbol combination is displayed for winning MB or a symbol combination serving as a trigger for ART addition lottery and the like is displayed. Can have a sense of expectation for

[Relationship between stop operation position and winning combination (non-MB gaming state)]
FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the internal winning combination and the winning combination (display combination) according to the stop operation order.
In Pachi-Slot 1, while simultaneously determining a plurality of winning combinations simultaneously as an internal winning combination, one of the winning combinations determined as an internal winning combination is awarded according to the stop operation order as shown in FIG. 9 It is supposed to be.

[Symbol arrangement table and symbol code table]
The symbol arrangement table and the symbol code table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The symbol arrangement table defines the position of each symbol in the rotational direction of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R, and data (hereinafter symbol symbol) for specifying the type of symbol arranged at each position.

  The symbol arrangement table sets each symbol in the order of advancing in the rotational direction of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, with the position of the symbol existing in the middle of the display windows 21L, 21C, 21R as "0" when the reel index is detected. “0” to “20” are assigned to the position of. Therefore, by referring to the symbol arrangement table while managing how many symbols have been rotated since the reel index was detected, the position of the symbols mainly present in the middle of the display windows 21L, 21C, 21R and It is possible to always manage the type of the symbol.

<Symbol code table>
The symbol code table shown in FIG. 10 stores codes for identifying symbols arranged on the surfaces of the three reels 3L, 3C, 3R. The symbols used in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment are "red 7A", "red 7B", "peach", "watermelon", "bell A", "bell B", "bell C", "replay A" , “Replay B” and “Cherry”.

  In the symbol code table, "00000001" is assigned as data to the "red 7A" symbol (symbol code 1). "00000010" is allocated as data to the "red 7B" symbol (symbol code 2). "00000011" is allocated as data to the "peach" symbol (symbol code 3). For the "watermelon" symbol (symbol code 4), "00000100" is assigned as data. Data "00000101" is assigned to the "bell A" symbol (symbol code 5). "00000110" is assigned as data to the "bell B" symbol (symbol code 6). Data "00000111" is assigned to the "bell C" symbol (symbol code 7). Data "00001000" is assigned to the "Replay A" symbol (symbol code 8). For the "Replay B" symbol (symbol code 9), "00001001" is assigned as data. For the "cherry" symbol (symbol code 10), "00001010" is assigned as data.

[Internal lottery table]
The internal lottery table will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 12.

  In the pachi slot 1, an internal lottery table for non-MB gaming state shown in FIG. 11 and an internal lottery table for MB gaming state shown in FIG. 12 are prepared as internal lottery tables. These tables are stored in the main ROM 32.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the internal lottery table for the non-MB gaming state includes a data pointer and a general pointer (RT0 gaming state), an RT1 gaming state, an RT2 gaming state, and an RT3 gaming state according to winning numbers. A lottery value is specified. The data pointer is data acquired as a result of the lottery performed with reference to the internal lottery table for the non-MB gaming state, and is for designating an internal winning combination defined by the internal winning combination determination table described later. It is used as data.

  In the present embodiment, the random value for lottery which is extracted from the predetermined numerical range “0 to 65535” is sequentially subtracted by the lottery value according to each winning number, and the result of subtraction becomes negative or not. An internal lottery is performed by making a determination (whether or not a so-called "worry" has occurred).

  Therefore, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the probability that the data to which it is assigned (that is, the data pointer) is determined. In addition, the winning probability of each winning number can be represented by “lottery value corresponding to each winning number / number of all random number values that may be extracted (65536)”. In the drawing, the lottery range is “0 to 65535”, that is, the probability denominator is “65536” unless otherwise specified.

  In this embodiment, the type of internal winning combination determined by using the internal lottery table for each gaming state (general gaming state (RT0 gaming state), RT1 gaming state, RT2 gaming state and RT3 gaming state) The winning probability is varied, and as a result, the expectation held by the player is undone.

  Specifically, in the internal lottery table for the non-MB gaming state shown in FIG. 11, the lottery value of the normal gaming state (RT0 gaming state) only wins the replay of the winning number 1 as the replay (the winning number 2-35). In the RT1 to RT3 gaming state, the lottery value of the replay of winning number 1 is “0”, and the winning of the replay of winning number 1 is not performed.

  In the RT1 gaming state lottery value, lottery numbers other than 0 are assigned to winning numbers 2 to 9 as replays. That is, there is a possibility that the replays of winning numbers 2 to 9 will be won as replays.

  In the RT2 gaming state lottery value, a lottery value other than 0 is assigned to the winning numbers 10 to 21 as replay. That is, there is a possibility that the replay of winning numbers 10 to 21 will be won as the replay.

  In the RT3 gaming state lottery value, a lottery value other than 0 is assigned to the winning numbers 22 to 35 as replay. That is, there is a possibility that the replay of the winning numbers 22 to 35 will be won as the replay.

  The internal lottery table for non-MB gaming state shown in FIG. 11 is a table used in the case of a specific set value, and in the present embodiment, a table corresponding to each set value is stored in main ROM 32. ing.

  FIG. 12 shows an internal lottery table for the MB gaming state used in the MB gaming state. The internal lottery table for the MB gaming state is stored in the main ROM 32.

  Similarly to the internal lottery table for non-MB gaming state shown in FIG. 11, the internal lottery table for MB gaming state is also for each of the general gaming state (RT0 gaming state), RT1 gaming state, RT2 gaming state and RT3 gaming state. According to the winning number, data pointers and lottery values are defined. The data pointer is data acquired as a result of the lottery performed with reference to the internal lottery table for the non-MB gaming state, and is for designating an internal winning combination defined by the internal winning combination determination table described later. It is used as data.

  Specifically, in the internal lottery table for the non-MB gaming state shown in FIG. 12, the lottery value of the normal gaming state (RT0 gaming state) only wins the replay of the winning number 1 as the replay (the winning number 2-35). In the RT1 to RT3 gaming state, the lottery value of the replay of winning number 1 is “0”, and the winning of the replay of winning number 1 is not performed.

  In the RT1 gaming state lottery value, lottery numbers other than 0 are assigned to winning numbers 2 to 9 as replays. That is, there is a possibility that the replays of winning numbers 2 to 9 will be won as replays.

  In the RT2 gaming state lottery value, a lottery value other than 0 is assigned to the winning numbers 10 to 21 as replay. That is, there is a possibility that the replay of winning numbers 10 to 21 will be won as the replay.

  In the RT3 gaming state lottery value, a lottery value other than 0 is assigned to the winning numbers 22 to 35 as replay. That is, there is a possibility that the replay of the winning numbers 22 to 35 will be won as the replay.

[Hold over part storage area]
FIG. 28 shows a carryover combination storage area 1 and a carryover combination storage area 2 in which data representing a carryover combination is stored. The size of the storage area of each of the carryover combination storage areas 1 and 2 is 1 byte, and the size of the entire storage area is 2 bytes. Bits 0 to 7 of the carryover combination storage area 1 and bits 0 to 1 of the carryover combination storage area 2 correspond to MB, and when the internal winning combination MB is determined as a result of the internal lottery process, the carryover combination storage area 1 “1” is stored in any one of bits 0 to 7 of bit 2 and bit 0 to bit 1 of the carryover combination storage area 2.

  By storing “1” in the carryover combination storage area, it can be determined that the player is in a state of winning the MB. The state in which “1” is stored in these carryover combination storage areas is held until a combination of symbols corresponding to MB is displayed on the pay line. That is, when winning a MB, bits 0 to 7 of the carryover combination storage area 1 or the carryover combination storage area in at least one unit game until the combination of these bonus symbols is displayed on the payline as a display combination. A state in which "1" is stored in bits 0 to 1 of 2 is held. Maintaining a state in which "1" is stored in these bits from a unit game winning an MB to a unit game winning is referred to as so-called "carry over". The MBs stored in the carryover combination storage areas 1 and 2 are referred to as a "takeover combination".

[Main flow chart under control of main CPU of main control circuit]
Referring to FIG. 70, a main flowchart showing main processing executed by main CPU 31 will be described.

  First, when the pachi-slot machine 1 is powered on, the main CPU 31 performs a power-on process shown in FIG. 71 described later (S11). In the power-on process, it is determined whether the backup is normal or whether the setting change has been properly performed, and the initialization process according to the determination result is executed.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs an initialization process at the end of one game (unit game) (S12). In this process, the main CPU 31 specifies and initializes, for example, a storage area for initialization at the end of one game. By this initialization process, data stored in the internal winning combination storing area or the display combination storing area of the main RAM 33 is cleared.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 conducts medal acceptance / start check processing which will be described later with reference to FIG. 72 (step S13). In this process, the main CPU 31 validates the upper stage-upper stage-upper stage based on the number of inserted sheets and determines whether the start operation is possible.

  Next, the main CPU 31 extracts random number values and stores them in the random number value storage area (step S14). This random value is used in an internal lottery process (step S16) described later. Subsequently, the main CPU 31 extracts the effect random number value and stores it in the effect random number value storage area (step S15). The effect random number is used in a lock determination process (step S152 in FIG. 74) described later. Subsequently, main CPU 31 performs an internal lottery process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 73 (step S16). In this process, the main CPU 31 determines an internal winning combination.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs a reel stop initial setting process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 74 (step S17). In this process, the main CPU 31 initializes an area and the like related to control for stopping the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  Next, the main CPU 31 generates start command data, and stores the generated start command data in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33 (S18). The start command data stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72 in the communication data transmission process (FIG. 90). The start command includes various information (internal winning combination, game state, etc.) necessary for the effect, such as an internal winning combination. Thereby, the sub control circuit 72 can perform an effect according to the start operation.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs lock processing at game start (step S19). In this process, the main CPU 31 determines whether to delay the timing to start the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R based on the internal winning combination.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs a weight process (step S20). In this process, the main CPU 31 waits until a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) elapses from the previous game start, or until a lock time (for example, 5 seconds) set in the game start lock process elapses Do. The lock time set by the game start lock process may be absorbed by disabling the stop operation of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R after the start of rotation. In this case, the player can recognize that the locking is performed because the stop operation is not possible even though the rotation is started. In addition, during this locking, the reel may be slowly rotated or reversely rotated (reel action) to make it easier to recognize that the locking is in progress.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs reel rotation start processing (step S21). In this process, the main CPU 31 requests start of rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, and stores a reel rotation start command in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33 (step S22). The reel rotation start command data stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72 in the communication data transmission process (FIG. 89). By this processing, the sub control circuit 72 can recognize the reel rotation start, and can determine the timing and the like of executing various effects.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a drawing-in priority storing process described later with reference to FIG. 77 (step S23). Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs a reel stop control process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 80 (step S24).

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a winning search process (step S25). In this process, the main CPU 31 collates the symbol combination displayed along the effective line after stopping the reels 3L, 3C, 3R with the symbol combination table (FIGS. 17 to 21) to determine the display combination, Determine the number of medals paid out.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs RT control processing described later with reference to FIG. 82 (step S26). In this process, the RT gaming state flag is updated according to the display combination.

  Next, the main CPU 31 pays out the medals based on the payout number of medals determined in the process of step S25 (step S27). Subsequently, the main CPU 31 stores the winning operation command data in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33 (step S28). The stored winning operation command data is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72 in the command data transmission process of the interrupt process described later.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a game end lock process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 84 (step S29). In this process, the main CPU 31 determines whether to lock the progress of the game based on the internal winning combination.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 conducts bonus end check processing which will be described later with reference to FIG. 84 (step S30). In this process, the main CPU 31 ends the operation of the bonus game when the condition for ending the bonus game is satisfied. Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs a bonus operation check process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 86 (step S31), and then performs the process of step S12. In this process, the main CPU 31 starts the operation of the bonus game when the condition for starting the bonus game is satisfied, and performs the operation of the re-game when the condition for the re-game is satisfied.

[Power-on process]
FIG. 71 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of power-on process called in step S11 of FIG.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether the backup is normal (step S51). In this determination process, the main CPU 31 performs error detection using a checksum value to determine whether the backup is normal. For example, when the power is off, the set value of pachislot 1 (the value to set the outlet rate to one of six predetermined levels) and the checksum value calculated from the set value are stored in the main RAM 33 as backup data. The setting value and the checksum value stored in the main RAM 33 are read out in the determination process (step S51) when the power is turned on. The checksum calculated from the read setting value is compared with the checksum that has been backed up. If the comparison results match, it is determined that the backup is normal.

  When the main CPU 31 determines that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 31 sets the backed up installation value setting value (step S52). Thereby, when the backup is normal, the setting value before the power-off is set.

  After the process of step S52, or when it is determined that the backup is not normal in step S51 (NO), the main CPU 31 determines whether the setting change switch is on (step S53). When the main CPU 31 determines that the setting change switch is not on (NO), the main CPU 31 determines whether the backup is normal (step S59).

  If it is determined in the process of step S59 that the backup is not normal (NO), the main CPU 31 executes power-on error processing (step S61). In this process, the main CPU 31 displays that the backup is not normal by an error display or the like. Incidentally, the main CPU 31 is configured not to release the error state depending on the operation of the stop release switch or the reset switch in the state of the error (backup error) in which the backup is not normal, and the setting change is newly made. Only if this is the case, clear the error state.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S53 that the setting change switch is on (YES), the main CPU 31 performs an initialization process at the time of setting change (step S54).

  In the initialization process at the time of the setting change, for example, the main CPU 31 clears the data stored in the internal winning combination storing area or the display combination storing area of the main RAM 33, and clears the setting value. After the processing of step S54, the main CPU 31 generates initialization command data, and stores this in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33 (step S55). The initialization command data includes the presence or absence of setting value change, setting value information, and the like.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs setting value change processing (step S56). In the setting value changing process, the main CPU 31 selects the setting value from among the predetermined values 1 to 6 in accordance with the operation result of the reset switch, and the operation result of the start lever 6 subsequently operated is selected. Determine the set value based on it.

  After the installation value setting value changing process (step S56), the main CPU 31 determines whether the setting change switch is in the on state (step S57), and the process (step S57) until the determination result is not in the on state. Repeat S57). If the determination result (NO) that the setting change switch is not in the ON state is obtained, this means that the operation of the setting change switch is completed, and the main CPU 31 generates initialization command data, The generated initialization command data is stored in the communication data storage area (step S58).

After the processing of step S58, the main CPU 73 ends the present subroutine.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S59 that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 31 restores the state before power interruption based on the backup data stored in the main RAM 33 (step S60).

  After the processing of step S60, the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine.

[Medal acceptance and start check processing]
FIG. 72 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of medal acceptance / start check processing called in the processing of step S13 of FIG.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not there is a value of the automatic insertion counter, that is, whether or not it is "0" (step S81). If there is a value of the automatic insertion counter, that is, other than "0", the main CPU 31 subsequently performs an automatic insertion process (step S82), and proceeds to step S83. Specifically, the main CPU 31 copies the value of the automatic insertion counter to the insertion number counter. The automatic insertion counter is a counter provided for the main CPU 31 to count the number of medals to be automatically inserted, and the insertion number counter is provided for the main CPU 31 to count the number of medals inserted. Counter. The automatic charging counter and the charging number counter are stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 33.

In step S83, the main CPU 31 performs medal insertion command transmission processing. In this process, the main CPU 31 generates medal insertion command data and stores it in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33. The token insertion command data stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72 in the command data transmission process of the interrupt process described later. After the processing of step S83, the main CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S85.
On the other hand, when the determination result that the value of the automatic insertion number counter does not exist, ie, "0" is obtained in the above-mentioned step S81, the main CPU 31 permits medal acceptance (step S84), and then, The process of step S85 is performed.

  At step S85, the main CPU 31 sets the maximum value of the number of inserted sheets in accordance with the gaming state. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 31 sets the maximum value of the number of inserted sheets to “3” in all the gaming states.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 determines whether medal acceptance is permitted (step S86). When the determination is YES, the main CPU 31 subsequently performs the process of step S87, and when the determination is NO, the main CPU 31 subsequently performs the process of step S91.

  At step S87, the main CPU 31 performs medal insertion check processing. In this process, the main CPU 31 checks the input from the inserted medal sensor 9S. Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs medal insertion command transmission processing (step S88). In this process, the main CPU 31 stores a medal insertion command in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33. The stored medal insertion command is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72 in the command data transmission process of the interrupt process described later.

Subsequently, the main CPU 31 determines whether medals have been inserted or credits are possible (for example, whether the number of inserted cards is 3 and the number of credits has reached "50") (step S89). . When the main CPU 31 determines that a medal has been inserted or that credit is not possible based on the detection result of the medal sensor 42S or the data representing the number of credits stored in the main RAM 33 (NO), acceptance of the medal is prohibited. After that (step S90), the process moves to step S91.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S89 that the medal has been inserted or that credit is possible (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S91.
At step S91, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the inserted number is the game startable number. For example, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the insertion number counter is three, which is the maximum value of the insertion number in all gaming states. At this time, when the value of the insertion number counter is the maximum value of the insertion number (YES), the main CPU 31 subsequently performs the processing of step S92, and when the value is not the maximum value (NO), the main CPU 31 Then, the process of step S86 is performed.

  In step S92, the main CPU 31 determines whether the start switch 6S is on. Specifically, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not there is an input from the start switch 6S based on the operation of the start lever 6. At this time, if there is an input from the start switch 6S (YES), the main CPU 31 prohibits medal acceptance (step S93), and ends the medal acceptance / start check process. On the other hand, when there is no input from the start switch 6S (NO), the main CPU 31 subsequently performs the process of step S86.

[Internal lottery process]
FIG. 73 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of internal lottery processing called in the processing of step S16 of FIG.

  First, the main CPU 31 sets an internal lottery table according to the gaming state (step S111). In the present embodiment, if the gaming state is the non-bonus gaming state (non-MB gaming state), the gaming state may be any of the general gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state. Set 11 internal lottery tables for non-MB gaming state. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the bonus gaming state (MB gaming state), the internal lottery table for the MB gaming state shown in FIG. 12 is set.

  Next, the main CPU 31 acquires random number values stored in the random number value storage area (step S112).

  Next, the main CPU 31 acquires a lottery value corresponding to the winning number using the predetermined area of the internal lottery table set in the process of step S111, and subtracts the lottery value from the random number (step S113). That is, the main CPU 31 collates the internal winning combination.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether the subtraction result in the process of step S113 is smaller than 0 (step S114).

  When the main CPU 31 determines that the subtraction result is not smaller than 0 in the determination processing of step S114 (NO), that is, determines that so-called borrowing is not performed, the random number value and the winning number are updated ( Step S115).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not all the winning numbers in the internal lottery table being used have been checked (step S116).

  Next, when the main CPU 31 determines that all the winning numbers have not been checked in the determination processing of step S116 (NO), the main CPU 31 returns the processing to step S113 described above.

  Next, when the main CPU 31 determines that all the winning numbers have been checked in the determination processing of step S116 (YES), it sets 0 as the value of the data pointer (step S119). That is, the main CPU 73 determines that the display combination is lost as a result of the internal lottery.

  Next, when the main CPU 31 determines that the subtraction result is smaller than 0 (YES) in the determination processing of step S114 described above, that is, when it determines that so-called borrowing has been performed, the internal lottery table being used The value of the small winning combination / replay data pointer and the value of the bonus data pointer are acquired with reference to (step S117).

  After the processing of step S117, the main CPU 31 determines whether the control state of the main control circuit 71 is the MB gaming state (step S118-1). When it is the MB gaming state (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing from step S118-1 to step S120. On the other hand, when it is not in the MB gaming state (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing from step S118-1 to step S118-2 and performs lock determination processing which will be described later with reference to FIG. S118). This process is a process of setting a lock determination value and a mode value used in the game start lock process (FIG. 70, step S19).

  Next, after executing the processing of step S119 or step S118 described above, the main CPU 31 refers to the internal winning combination determining table for small bonus combination / replay shown in FIGS. An internal winning combination is obtained based on the value (step S120). In the process of step S120, the internal winning combination determination table for small winning combination / replay shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 using the value of the data pointer for small winning combination / replay determined in the processing of step S119 or step S117 described above. It is a process which determines the data value which shows the internal winning combination corresponding to the value of the data pointer for small part and replay with reference to FIG.

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the acquired internal winning combination in the corresponding internal winning combination storing area (FIG. 22) (step S121). The process of step S121 is a process of storing the data value indicating the internal winning combination determined in the process of step S120 in the internal winning combination storing area (storage areas 1 to 24) shown in FIG.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether the value of the carryover combination storage area (FIG. 28) is 0 or not (step S122). This determination process is a process of determining whether the data value stored in the carryover combination storage area shown in FIG. 28 is 0 or not. That is, the determination process of step S122 is a process of determining whether or not the MB combination is carried forward.

  Next, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the carryover combination storage area is 0 in the determination processing of step S122 (YES), it refers to the internal winning combination determination table for bonus shown in FIG. An internal winning combination is obtained based on the value of the pointer (step S123). In the process of step S123, the value of the data pointer for bonus determined in the process of step S119 or step S117 described above is used to refer to the bonus internal winning combination determination table shown in FIG. This is processing of determining a 3-byte data value indicating an internal winning combination corresponding to the value.

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the acquired internal winning combination in the carryover combination storage area (FIG. 28) (step S124). The process of step S124 is a process of setting the value of the bit corresponding to the acquired internal winning combination among bits 0 to 3 of the carryover storage area shown in FIG. 28 to "1".

  When the main CPU 31 does not determine that the value of the carryover combination storage area is 0 in the determination processing of step S122 described above (NO) or when the processing of step S124 is executed, the internal stored in the carryover combination storage area The internal winning combination storing area is updated based on the winning combination (step S125). The process of step S125 is a process of updating the data value of the internal winning combination storing area shown in FIG. 22 based on the type of the internal winning combination stored in the carryover combination storing area shown in FIG. After executing the processing of step S125, the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine.

[Lock determination processing]
FIG. 74 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of lock determination processing called in step S118 of FIG. 73.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the winning number is 34 (step S141). If the winning number is 34 (YES), this means that one of the middle-tier players who win the winning combination wins in any order (FIG. 9), and the main CPU 31 is 6 is stored as a lock determination value in the lock determination value storage area of the RAM 33, and the process returns to the internal lottery process (FIG. 73).

  On the other hand, if the winning number is not 34 (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S141 to step S143, and determines whether the winning number is 35 or not. If the winning number is 35 (YES), this means that any of the reach eye lips that are the winning combinations will win in any order (FIG. 9), and the main CPU 31 1 is stored as a mode value in the lock mode storage area of the main RAM 33, and the process returns to the internal lottery process (FIG. 73). Incidentally, when the mode value is 1, at the time of 7-rip winning, it is locked with higher probability than when the mode value is 0.

  On the other hand, if the winning number is not 35 (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S143 to step S145, and determines whether the winning number is any one of 2 to 4. If the winning number is any of 2 to 4 (YES), this means that any of the so-called 7 lips will win in any push order (FIG. 9), the main CPU 31 The winning number is stored in the lock determination value storage area of the main RAM 33 as the lock determination value (step S146), and 1 is stored in the lock mode storage area of the main RAM 33 as the mode value (step S147). It returns to the processing (FIG. 73).

  On the other hand, when the winning number is not one of 2 to 4 (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S145 to step S148 and determines whether the winning number is any of 5 to 9 or not. Determine. If the winning number is any of 5 to 9 (YES), this means that depending on the push order, either the upper lip, the middle lip, the lower lip, the cross-up lip, or the cross-up This means that any of the down-rips, any of the RT2 transition ripples or any of the RT3 transition ripples will be won (FIG. 9), and the main CPU 31 sets a lock determination value in the lock determination value storage area of the main RAM 33. 7 is stored (step S149), and the process returns to the internal lottery process (FIG. 73). On the other hand, when the winning number is not any of 5 to 9 (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing from step S148 to step S150 and determines whether the winning number is any of 22 to 33 Do. If the winning number is not any of 22 to 23 (NO), the main CPU 31 returns to the internal winning process (FIG. 73).

  On the other hand, when the winning number is any of 22 to 33 (YES), this means that depending on the pushing order, either the upper lip, the lower lip, the cross-up, or the cross-down This means that either one of the reps or one of the seven reps wins (FIG. 9), and the main CPU 31 acquires the mode value stored in the lock mode storage area of the main RAM 33 (step S151), Further, a lottery value corresponding to the mode value is acquired, and the lottery value is subtracted from the effect random number (step S152). Incidentally, the lottery value when the mode value is 0 is 2184 (that is, the probability is 1/30), and the lottery value when the mode value is 1 is 32768 (that is, the probability is 1/2).

  Then, main CPU 31 determines whether or not the subtraction result is smaller than 0 (step S1539. When the subtraction result is smaller than 0 (YES), main CPU 31 determines that the lock determination value storage area of main RAM 33 is locked. After storing 1 as the value (step S154) and further storing 1 as the mode value in the lock mode storage area of the main RAM 33 (step S155), the process returns to the internal lottery processing (FIG. 73).

  On the other hand, when the subtraction result is not smaller than 0 (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing from step S153 to step S156, and stores 0 as a lock determination value in the lock determination value storage area of the main RAM 33. Furthermore, after 0 is stored as the mode value in the lock mode storage area of the main RAM 33 (step S157), the process returns to the internal lottery process (FIG. 73).

  Thus, the main CPU 31 can set the lock determination value and the mode value according to the winning number by executing the lock determination process shown in FIG.

  When the number of ART games is added by 7 sets (replay) by this lock determination process and the game end lock process described later with reference to FIG. 84, the first probability (1 If it is decided to sort by / 30) and decide to long lock, whether or not to lock long at the time of the next 7 sets will be lottery with the second probability (1/2), and the result of lottery by the second probability is It is controlled to randomly select whether or not to perform the long lock at the second probability until the win or the high probability RT ends. In the case of long lock at the time of 7 alignments, by configuring so that the number of ART games is given more than the case of not long lock (FIG. 124, step S1758, step S1759) It is possible to make the player clearly recognize that the more advantageous lottery will be performed by the long lock on the main reel while preventing the player from collapsing. In addition, at the time of winning of a predetermined winning combination (reach eye lip), it is configured to perform lottery at a second probability whether or not to lock at the time of the next 7 sets (FIG. 74, step S143, step Even in the case where the player has not won the game in S144, Step S152), or the first probability of 7 alignments, the player's sense of expectation can be continued. Further, by setting the state of whether or not the long lock is to be performed on the main control circuit 71 and the state whether or not the advantageous lottery is performed on the sub control circuit 72, for example, the sub control Even when the advantageous lottery on the circuit 72 is finished, the long lock on the main control circuit 71 may continue, so it is suggested that the stage is not advantageous in presentation. Even in such a case, since the long lock may provide a large number of ART games, the gap can enhance the interest of the game.

[Reel stop initialization process]
FIG. 75 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the reel stop initial setting process called in step S17 of FIG.

  First, the main CPU 31 refers to the rotation stop number selection table (FIG. 32) and sets the rotation stop number based on the gaming state (MB gaming state or non-MB gaming state) and the winning number ( Step S171). Subsequently, the main CPU 31 refers to the reel stop initial setting table (FIG. 33), and acquires each information based on the rotation stop number (step S172). For example, the main CPU 31 determines the number of the stop table used at the time of the first to third stops and the information necessary for performing the control change in the control change process (that is, when the reels are stopped in a specific order) In the case of stopping (or pressing) at a position, information used to reselect the stop table is acquired. Incidentally, information on the number of sliding pieces for the pressed position is directly or indirectly stored in the stop table, and using this information, the player is not disadvantaged, and a wrong prize is generated. To the extent it does not, it is configured to stop at the developer's intended stop position.

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the rotating identifier in the symbol code storage area, that is, stores the rotating identifier (for example, “1” in all bits) in all the symbol code storage areas (step S173). Subsequently, the main CPU 31 stores 3 in the stop button non-operation counter (step S174), and ends the present subroutine. The stop button non-operation counter is for determining the number of stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R for which the player has not performed a stop operation, and is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 33.

[Lock process at game start]
FIG. 76 is a flow chart showing a subroutine of lock processing at game start which is called in step S19 of FIG. 70.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether the lock determination value is 2 (step S191). The lock determination value is stored in the lock determination value storage area of the main RAM 33 in the lock determination process of FIG.

  If the lock determination value is not 2 (NO), the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, when the lock determination value is 2 (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S191 to step S192, and sets “8055” to the effect lock timer. Then, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the effect lock timer is 0 (step S193). If the effect lock timer is not 0 (NO), the main CPU31 repeats the determination process of step S193. That is, the main CPU 31 repeats the process of step S193 until the effect lock timer becomes zero.

  When the effect lock timer becomes 0, the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine by obtaining an affirmative result (YES) in step S193.

  When the lock determination value is 2, a predetermined value is set in the effect lock timer by the game start lock process.

[Import priority storage process]
FIG. 77 is a flow chart showing a subroutine of the drawing priority storing process called in step S23 of FIG.

  First, the main CPU 31 stores the value of the stop button non-operation counter as the number of searches (step S211). Subsequently, the main CPU 31 executes search target reel determination processing (step S212). In this process, the reels to be searched are determined in order from the reel on the left side among the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a drawing priority order table selection process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 78 (step S213). Subsequently, the main CPU 31 sets "21" as the number of symbol checks and "0" as the searched symbol position (step S214). Next, the main CPU 31 performs symbol code storage processing which will be described later with reference to FIG. 79 (step S215).

  Next, the main CPU 31 updates the display combination storing area based on the acquired symbol code and the symbol code storage area (step S216). Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs a drawing priority data acquisition process (step S217). In this process, the main CPU 31 is a role corresponding to a bit storing "1" in the display combination storing area, and a role corresponding to a bit storing "1" in the internal winning combination storing area. Referring to the attraction priority table selected in step S213, the attraction priority data is acquired. In this process, for a combination in which winning is determined on one reel (for example, a single small combination determined on the right reel 3R), reels other than the one reel (the left reel 3L in the case of a single small combination) , And the reel 3C in the middle does not acquire the pull-in priority data. Further, when the combination in which the winning is determined on one reel is not determined as the internal winning combination, the priority-of-draw-in priority data is acquired for the one reel of which “stop is prohibited”. In addition, “stop prohibition” (000H) is set for a symbol position that causes an erroneous prize when it is stopped. In addition, although the internal winning is not performed, “stoppable” (0001H) is set for the symbol position that does not result in erroneous winning even when stopped.

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the acquired attraction priority data in the attraction priority data storage area corresponding to the search target reel (step S218). Subsequently, the main CPU 31 subtracts “1” from the number of symbol checks, and adds “1” to the search symbol position (step S219). Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the symbol check count is "0" (step S220). When the determination is YES, the main CPU 31 performs the process of step S221. When the determination is NO, the main CPU 31 performs the process of step S215. In this process, it is determined whether or not all the search for the symbol positions "0" to "20" has been performed. At step S221, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the search has been performed a number of times. When the determination is YES, the main CPU 31 ends the drawing priority storage process, and when the determination is NO, the main CPU 31 performs the process of step S212.

FIG. 78 is a flow chart showing a subroutine of the drawing priority storing process called in step S213 of FIG.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the drawing priority order table selection table number is set (step S241). When the determination is YES, the main CPU 31 subsequently performs the process of step S 242, and when the determination is NO, the main CPU 31 shifts the process to the stay 244.

At step S 242, the main CPU 31 sets a lead-in priority order table selection table according to the lead-in priority order table selection table number. Subsequently, the main CPU 31 refers to the pressing order storage area and the operation stop button storage area, and sets the corresponding drawing priority order table number from the drawing priority order table selection table (step S243).
Next, the main CPU 31 sets a drawing priority order table according to the drawing priority order table number (step S244), and ends the drawing priority order table selection processing.

[Symbol code storage processing]
FIG. 79 is a flow chart showing a subroutine of symbol code storage processing called in step S215 of FIG. This process is a process of acquiring a symbol code based on the set search symbol position.

  First, the main CPU 31 sets valid line data (step S261). In the present embodiment, one effective line (upper stage-upper stage-upper stage) is set.

  Next, the main CPU 31 sets check position data of the search target reel based on the search symbol position and the valid line data (step S262). In this process, the main CPU 31 sets the symbol position of the symbol corresponding to the set valid line data as the check symbol position data, based on the search symbol position (middle symbol) of the search target reel. Specifically, when the valid line data indicates the middle row, the search symbol position directly becomes the check symbol position data, and when the valid line data indicates the upper row, the search symbol position +1 is the check symbol position data and Become. In the present embodiment, since the valid line is only the upper row, the valid line data is always at the upper row, and the search symbol position +1 is the check symbol position data.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 acquires the symbol code of the symbol position data for check (step S263), and ends the symbol code storage processing.

[Reel stop control processing]
FIG. 80 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the reel stop control process called in step S24 of FIG. In this process, the main CPU 31 stops the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R based on the internal winning combination, the timing of the stop operation by the player, or the like.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the valid stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R have been pressed (step S281). At this time, when the valid stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R are pressed, the main CPU 31 subsequently performs the process of step S282. On the other hand, when the valid stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R are not pressed, the main CPU 31 performs the process of step S281 again.

  In step S282, the main CPU 31 updates the pressing order storage area and the operation stop button storage area. Subsequently, the main CPU 31 subtracts “1” from the value of the stop button non-operation counter (step S283). Subsequently, the main CPU 31 determines a search target reel from the operation stop button (step S284).

  Subsequently, in step S285, the main CPU 31 stores the stop start position based on the symbol counter. Next, the main CPU 31 performs sliding symbol number determination processing (step S286). In this process, the main CPU 31 refers to the stop table and determines the number-of-sliding-pieces determination data determined for the stop start position. Next, the main CPU 31 performs priority attraction control processing which will be described later with reference to FIG. 81 (step S287).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 generates reel stop command data, and stores it in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33 (step S288). The reel stop command includes information on the operation stop button and the like, and is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72 in the command data transmission process of the interrupt process described later. Thereby, the sub control circuit 72 can perform an effect according to the stop operation.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 determines the planned stop position of the search target reel based on the stop start position and the number of sliding symbols determination data, and stores it (step S289). Subsequently, the main CPU 31 sets a planned stop position as a search symbol position (step S290), and based on the set search symbol position, updates the bit of the combination (pattern combination) that can be displayed to 1 and does not display the combination. The bit of (symbol combination) is updated to 0 (step S291).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 updates the symbol code storage area based on the acquired symbol code (step S292). In this process, in the symbol code storage area, the main CPU 31 updates the bit of the combination (symbol combination) that can be displayed to "1", and updates the bit of the combination not displayed (pattern combination) to "0".

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs control change processing when it is necessary according to the search symbol position (step S293). Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether the value of the stop button non-operation counter is “0” (step S294). At this time, when the value of the stop button non-operation counter is not “0” (when not at the third stop), the main CPU 31 performs the drawing priority storing process of FIG. 77 (step S295). The process of S281 is performed. That is, in the pachi slot 1, processing of storing the drawing priority data for each symbol position of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R still rotating before the processing of stopping the rotation of the next reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed Is done. On the other hand, when the value of the stop button inactivity counter is “0”, the main CPU 31 determines that the stop control at the time of the third stop is finished, and ends the reel stop control process.

[Priority pull-in control processing]
FIG. 81 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the priority attraction control process called in step S287 of FIG. This processing is processing in which the main CPU 31 determines the number of sliding symbols.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the MB is in operation (step S313). When the MB is not in operation (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S315. On the other hand, when the MB is in operation, the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S313 to step S314, and determines whether or not the search target reel is the left reel.

  If the search target reel is not the left reel (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S314 to step S315.

  In step S315, the main CPU 31 sets a priority order table according to the sliding symbol number determination data. For example, if the number of sliding symbols determined by the stop table (stop data table) is 4, a row (address) in which the number-of-sliding pieces determination data in the priority order table is "4" is set. Subsequently, "5" is set to the initial value of the priority order and the number of checks (step S316). Setting “5” as the number of checks means setting to search five times from 0 to 4 pieces. After the processing of step S316, the main CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S319.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S314 that the search target reel is the left reel (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing from step S314 to step S317, and for the MB gaming state according to the sliding piece number determination data. Set the priority order table. Then, the main CPU 31 sets “3” as the initial value of the priority order, and sets “2” as the number of checks (step S318).

  The main CPU 31 shifts the process to step S319 after the process of step S316 or after the process of step S18. In step S319, the main CPU 31 sets the number of sliding symbols determination data as the number of sliding symbols. Subsequently, the main CPU 31 extracts a stop search position based on the stop start position and the priority order (step S320). Next, the main CPU 31 acquires pull-in priority data of the stop search position (step S321).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 determines whether it is equal to or higher than the previously acquired acquisition priority data (step S322). At this time, if it is equal to or higher than the priority attraction-in order data acquired earlier, the main CPU 31 updates the number of sliding symbols (step S323), and then performs the processing of step S324. On the other hand, when it is less than the priority attraction-in order data acquired earlier, the main CPU 31 subsequently performs the process of step S324.

  In step S324, the main CPU 31 subtracts “1” from the priority order and the number of checks. Subsequently, the main CPU 31 determines whether the number of checks is “0” (step S325). At this time, if the number of checks is “0”, the main CPU 31 sets the updated number of sliding symbols (step S326), and ends the priority attraction control process. On the other hand, when the number of checks is not “0”, the main CPU 31 subsequently performs the process of step S320.

  As described above, in the priority pull-in control process, the main CPU 31 displays the number of slide symbols in which the combination of symbols relating to the internal winning combination to be carried out with higher priority among the number of slide symbols of a plurality of types is displayed. decide.

On the other hand, when the MB is not in operation (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S341 to step S342, and determines whether or not the carryover combination storage area is "0".

  If the carryover combination storage area is not “0” (NO), the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, when the holding combination storage area is “0” (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing from step S342 to step S343. As a result, when the MB is not in operation and the carryover combination storage area is “0”, the main CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S343.

  In step S343, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the irregular bell has been displayed, that is, whether or not the irregular bell has won. At this time, when the extraordinary bell has won, the main CPU 31 subsequently updates the gaming state to the normal gaming state (RT0 gaming state) (step S344), shifts the process to step S353, and shifts to the RT gaming state Perform time processing (described later).

  On the other hand, when the irregular bell has not won, the main CPU 31 subsequently determines whether or not the RT1 transition ripple or the RT1 transition symbol is displayed (step S345). At this time, when the RT1 transition ripple or the RT1 transition symbol is displayed, the main CPU 31 subsequently updates the gaming state to the RT1 gaming state (step S346), shifts the processing to step S353, and moves the RT gaming state. Perform migration process (described later).

  On the other hand, when the RT1 transition lip or the RT1 transition symbol is not displayed, the main CPU 31 subsequently determines whether the RT2 transition lip is displayed, that is, whether the RT2 transition lip has won ((1) Step S347).

At this time, when the 7th reel wins, the main CPU 31 subsequently turns off the external signals 1 and 2 (step S352).
After the processing of step S352, the main CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S353, and performs RT1 gaming state transition processing (described later).
After the RT1 gaming state transition process (described later), the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine.

If not, an affirmative result (YES) is obtained in step S391 of the game end lock process, and the game end lock process is ended.

  On the other hand, when the lock determination value is not 0 or 2 (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S391 to step S392 and determines whether the lock determination value is 6. If the lock determination value is 6 (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S392 to step S393, and sets “3581” in the effect lock timer.

If the lock determination value is 3 or 4 (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S397 to step S398. That is, when the winning number is stored as the lock determination value based on the winning number being 3 or 4 in the lock determination processing of FIG. 74 (step S145, step S146), the lock processing at the game end is performed. An affirmative result (YES) is obtained in step S397, and the process proceeds to step S398.

  After the main CPU 31 sets “7161” to the effect lock timer in step S398, the main CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S402.

If the lock determination value is 1 (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S399 to step S400. That is, when 1 is stored as the lock determination value when the subtraction result is smaller than 0 in the process of step S153 in the lock determination process of FIG. 74 (step S154), an affirmative result in step S399 of the lock process at the game end (YES) is obtained, and the process proceeds to step S400.

  In step S400, the main CPU 31 determines whether 7 reps have been displayed. If the 7th reply is not displayed (NO), the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if 7 reps are displayed (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S400 to step S401, sets "3581" to the effect lock timer, and shifts the process to step S402. .

  After the processing of step S393, step S396, step S398 or step S401, the main CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S402 and determines whether or not the effect lock timer is zero.

  FIG. 85 is a schematic diagram showing a connection state of the main substrate (main control circuit 71) and the external concentrated terminal plate. In FIG. 85, the medal insertion signal is a signal that makes it possible to recognize insertion of a medal, and is output when the start lever is operated. The medal payout signal is a signal that makes it possible to recognize medal payout or replay, and is output at the time of medal payout (including credit storage) or when playing a game. The external signal 1 is a signal for making it possible to recognize from the outside that the 7th display has been displayed, and is output at a predetermined timing in FIGS. The external signal 2 is a signal for enabling the RT3 gaming state to be recognized from the outside, and is output at a predetermined timing in FIGS. The external signal 3/4 is a signal for making it possible to recognize an RWM error (when backup is not normal when the power is turned on), and is output at the time of initialization processing when the power is turned on. The security signal is a signal for making it possible to recognize when an error occurs (for example, medal clogging etc.), when the door is released, when the setting is changed, etc., and is output when the corresponding event occurs.

  By executing on / off control of the external signals 1 and 2 in FIGS. 82 to 84, the external signal 2 is turned on by displaying the RT3 message for transitioning to the high RT state (RT3) (FIG. 83, step S372). While the external signal 2 is turned off (FIG. 82, step S352) by the display of seven sets of ripples related to the addition of the number of ART games in the high RT state (RT3), the external signal 1 is turned on (FIG. 84, step The external signal 1 is turned off (FIG. 83, step S 374) by displaying the RT 0 transition lip or RT 1 transition lip for transitioning to low RT (RT 0 or RT 1) (S 404). In the data display unit, external signal 2 is used to recognize the ART first hit, and external signal 1 indicates that ART is continuing. Therefore, by causing the data display to recognize the display according to these recognitions, even if the game play changes in the advantageous state, it is possible to accurately determine the current gaming state for the player. It is possible to make

  In addition, since on / off control of external signals 1 and 2 is controlled according to the data display which is an external device, when the configuration of the data display changes, these controls are performed according to the configuration. Change the contents.

[Bonus end check processing]
FIG. 86 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of bonus end check processing called in step S30 of FIG.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether the MB is in operation, that is, whether the MB gaming state flag is on (step S421). When the MB is not in operation (NO), the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, when the MB is in operation (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing from step S421 to step S422 and performs CB termination processing of updating the CB gaming state flag to off. As a result, by repeating the CB operation process (step S 442) of the bonus operation check process (FIG. 87) described later, the end and operation of CB are repeated until the bonus ends while the MB is in operation.

  After the processing of step S422, the main CPU 31 updates the bonus end number counter (step S423). That is, the main CPU 31 updates the bonus end number counter by subtracting the number of medals paid out during the MB operation from the preset number of payouts.

  Then, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the bonus end number counter is smaller than 0 (step S424). If it is determined that the value of the bonus end sheet counter is not smaller than 0 (NO), this means that the number of medals paid out so far reaches the number of sheets paid out during MB operation. This means that the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the bonus end number counter is smaller than 0 (YES), this means that the number of medals paid out so far is paid out during the MB operation. The main CPU 31 shifts the processing from step S424 to step S425, performs MB termination processing for updating the MB gaming state flag to OFF, and further performs bonus termination command transmission processing. (Step S426). In this process, the main CPU 31 generates bonus end command data and stores it in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33. The token insertion command data stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72 in the communication data transmission process (step S464 in FIG. 88) of the interrupt process described later. After that, the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine.

[Bonus operation check process]
FIG. 87 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the bonus operation check process called in step S31 of FIG. This process is a process in which the main CPU 31 operates the bonus game based on the determined type of display combination and the like.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether the MB is in operation, ie, whether the MB gaming state flag is on (step S441). If the MB is in operation (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing from step S441 to step S442, and performs the CB operation processing of updating the CB gaming state flag on. As a result, by repeating the above-described bonus end check process (FIG. 86) and the CB end process (step S422), the activation and termination of the CB are repeated until the bonus is ended while the MB is in operation. After the processing of step S442, the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S441 that the MB is not in operation (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S441 to step S443 and determines whether MB is displayed, that is, Determine if the MB has won. If the MB is displayed (YES), the main CPU 31 performs an MB operation process of updating the MB gaming state flag to ON (step S444). In this process, the main CPU 31 also carries out the CB operation process and sets "13" in the bonus end number counter. As a result, when the MB wins, in addition to the operation of the MB, the CB operates and the bonus end number counter is newly set, and this counter is updated in the subsequent MB gaming state, thereby the MB gaming state The end of is determined (step S424 described above).

  After the processing of step S444, the main CPU 31 clears the value of the carryover combination storage area (step S445), and performs bonus start command transmission processing (step S446). In this process, the main CPU 31 generates bonus start command data and stores it in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33. The token insertion command data stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72 in the communication data transmission process (step S464 in FIG. 88) of the interrupt process described later. After that, the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S443 that the determination result that MB is not displayed is obtained (NO), the main CPU 31 shifts the process from step S443 to step S447 and determines whether replay is displayed, that is, It is determined whether the replay has won a prize. When the replay is won, the main CPU 31 subsequently makes an automatic insertion request for copying the value of the insertion number counter to the automatic insertion number counter (step S448), and ends this subroutine. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S447 that the result of the determination that the replay has not been won is obtained, the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine.

[Interrupt process under control of main CPU (1.1173 msec)]
With reference to FIG. 88, an interrupt process under the control of the main CPU 31 will be described which shows the procedure of the interrupt process executed by the main CPU 31 every predetermined time (for example, 1.1173 ms).

  First, the main CPU 31 saves the register (S461). Subsequently, the main CPU 73 performs input port check processing (S462). In this process, the main CPU 31 confirms the presence or absence of a signal to be transmitted to the microcomputer 30. For example, the main CPU 31 stores on-edge and off-edge of the start switch 6S, the stop switch 7S, etc. for each interrupt processing. Further, the main CPU 31 stores an input state command including information on on edge and off edge of various switches in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33. The stored input state command is transmitted to the sub control circuit 81 in the command data transmission process of the interrupt process described later. As a result, various effects can be performed using operation means such as the start lever 6 and the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 73 performs timer update processing (S463). Next, the main CPU 31 performs communication data transmission processing (S464). In this process, the command stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72. Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs processing of controlling the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R (S465). More specifically, the main CPU 31 starts the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R in response to a request to start the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, that is, the reels at a constant speed. Control is performed so that 3L, 3C, and 3R rotate. Further, in response to the stop operation, control is performed so that the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R corresponding to the stop operation is stopped.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 31 performs a lamp 7SEG driving process (S466). For example, the main CPU 73 displays the number of credited medals, the number of payouts, and the like on various display units. Subsequently, the main CPU 73 restores the register (S 467), and ends the processing of the regularly occurring interrupt.

  First, the main CPU 31 checks the state of each input port (step S481).

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the state of the input port one interrupt before (step S482), and stores the current state of the input port (step S483). 1 Check whether the state of the input port has changed by checking the state of both the input port before interrupt and the current. This makes it possible to check whether the bet button or the like has been pressed.

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the on-edge state (step S484). Here, the on-edge means a state in which the button is pressed. The state in which the button is released from the on-edge is the off-edge.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs input state command transmission processing (step S485). In this process, the main CPU 31 generates input state command data, and stores the generated input state command data in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33. The input command data stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72 in the communication data transmission process. The sub control circuit 72 can confirm that the various buttons such as the bet button have been pressed or released by confirming the input state command.

[Communication data transmission process]
FIG. 90 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of communication data transmission processing called in the processing of step S464 of FIG. First, the main CPU 31 subtracts 1 from the communication data transmission timer (step S501), and then determines whether the communication data transmission timer is 0 (step S502). If the communication data transmission timer is 0 (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S503. On the other hand, when the communication data transmission timer is not 0 in step S502 (NO), the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine.

  In step S503, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not there is unsent data in the communication data storage area. When there is unsent data (YES), the main CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S505, and when there is no unsent data (NO), shifts the processing to step S504.

  In step S504, the main CPU 31 generates non-operation command data, and stores the generated non-operation command in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 33. That is, when there is no unsent data in the communication data storage area, the main CPU 31 stores non-operation command data in the communication data storage area. As a result, a state in which command data to be transmitted in the communication data storage area is always stored is generated. Specifically, the main CPU 31 generates an operation state stored in the main RAM 33 as a no-operation command in the above-described input port check process (FIG. 89). The data representing the operation state generated as a no-operation command is, when the condition for transmitting the no-operation command (the state in which the input state command has been transmitted and cleared) is satisfied in the later communication data transmission process. , From the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72. As described above, the input state command is command data related to the effect, and means an operation corresponding command for the effect corresponding to the operation of the switch or the like. On the other hand, the command transmitted when the operation corresponding command such as the input state command is not transmitted is the non-operation command (operation non-corresponding command).

  In step S505, the main CPU 31 sets an initial value (14) to the communication data transmission timer. That is, since the communication data transmission timer is at 0 in step S502 described above, the main CPU 31 newly sets the communication data transmission timer to the initial value (14) in step S505. As a result, each time the communication data transmission process is performed from the next communication data transmission process, the communication data transmission timer is sequentially decremented by one, and it is possible to obtain the timing to transmit the communication data.

  After the processing of step S505, the main CPU 31 transmits the communication data stored in the communication data storage area (step S506). In this case, in the communication data storage area, command data (initialization command data, medal input command data, start command data, reel rotation start command data) stored in the communication data storage area by the processing in the main control circuit 71 up to that point , Reel stop command data, winning operation command data, bonus start command data, bonus end command data, input state command data, etc.) or no data to be transmitted, no operation stored in step S 504 described above By storing command data, some command data is always transmitted.

  After the process of step S506, the main CPU 31 determines whether the transmission is completed (step S507). If the transmission is not completed (NO), the main CPU 31 repeats the process of step S506. On the other hand, when the transmission is completed (YES), the main CPU 31 ends the present subroutine after updating the communication data storage area (step S508).

  As described above, the main CPU 31 transmits the command data stored in the communication data storage area to the sub control circuit 71 at predetermined timings counted by the communication data transmission timer by executing the communication data transmission process. .

[Process when receiving start command]
FIG. 101 is a flowchart showing processing upon reception of a start command called in step S756 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the sub gaming state of the sub control circuit 72 is ART (step S801). If ART is in progress (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S801 to step S802, and executes in-ART process 1 described later with reference to FIG. In the during-ART process 1, a process according to the state of ART (art start state with ART number of games added, ART normal state, ART added lottery state, ART added state, ART continuous lottery state) is executed (described later). The sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine after the process of step S802.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the ART is not in progress in the process of step S801 (NO), sub CPU81 transfers the process from step S801 to step S803, and the sub gaming state of sub control circuit 72 is ART preparation. It is determined whether or not it is in the state. If the state is the ART preparation state (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S803 to step S804, executes the ART preparing process 1 and ends the present subroutine.

  During ART preparation process 1, when the sub CPU 81 is in the RT1 gaming state or RT2 gaming state under the control of the main control circuit 71, the sub CPU 81 sends information to the player to shift to the RT3 gaming state. Inform. Specifically, at the time of winning the winning numbers 5 to 9 (FIG. 9), the pressing order for displaying the RT3 transition lip is notified. Incidentally, from RT2 gaming state, it is necessary to once fall to RT1 gaming state. In addition, a pushing order that gives the player an advantage is informed of a pushing combination and a small combination in MB.

On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S803 that the ART is not in preparation (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S803 to step S805 and later refers to FIG. The normal game process 1 is executed.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the control state of the main control circuit 71 is the MB gaming state (step S821). If it is the MB gaming state (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S821 to step S825. On the other hand, if it is not the MB gaming state (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S821 to step S822 and determines whether the winning number is any one of 2 to 4. In the winning numbers 2 to 4, according to the pushing order, so-called 7 sets of reps (middle _7 reps, upper _7 reps, lower _7 reps, lower up _7 reps, cross up _7 reps, cross down _7 reps) are won It is the winning number.

  If the winning number is one of 2 to 4 (FIG. 9) (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S822 to step S823 to determine special first hit presentation data.

  After the processing of step S823, the sub CPU 81 sets the ART preparation state to the next game (step S823), and the present subroutine is ended. Thus, when any of the winning numbers 2 to 4 is won, the ART preparation state is set to the next game. As will be described later, when transitioning to the ART preparation state, the push order for stopping display of the RT3 transition reply for transitioning to ART is informed, and it is possible to shift to ART by winning in the RT3 transition lip . That is, when so-called seven sets of ribs are won by the processing of the above-mentioned step S822 to step S824, the transition to ART (ART preparation state), which is advantageous for the player, is determined by determining special effect data. It is supposed to inform the player.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S822 described above that the winning number is not 2 to 4 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S822 to step S825 and sets the chance zone 1 inside. Determine if there is. If it is in the chance zone 1 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S825 to step S826, and executes the process in the chance zone 1 which will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In the processing during the chance zone 1, the sub CPU 81 plays a match between the enemy and the ally, and the transition to the normal state or the ART preparation state is selected according to the match result. After the process of step S826, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S825 that the chance zone 1 is not present (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S825 to step S827 and is in the chance zone 2 It is determined whether or not it is. If it is in the chance zone 2 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S827 to step S828, and executes the process 1 in the chance zone 2 which will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In the processing 1 during the chance zone 2, under control of the sub CPU 81, transition to the normal state or ART preparation state is selected according to the number of digested games. After the process of step S826, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S827 that the chance zone 2 is not present (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S827 to step S829 and is in the chance zone 3 It is determined whether or not it is. If it is in the chance zone 3 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S829 to step S830, and executes the process 1 in the chance zone 3 which will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In the processing 1 during the chance zone 3, the sub CPU 81 decides to shift to the ART preparation state when winning 7 sets of navigations. After the process of step S830, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S829 that the chance zone 3 is not present (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S829 to step S831, and later refers to FIG. The normal game process 1 is executed. In the processing 1 during the normal state, determination of the content of the effect based on the mode and the internal winning combination is performed.

  After the process of step S 831, the sub CPU 81 executes a process for managing the number of games in the normal state, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 107 (step S 832). After the processing of step S831, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

[Process in chance zone 1]
FIG. 103 is a flowchart showing processing in the chance zone 1 called in step S826 in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is time to shift to the chance zone 1 (step S851). If it is time to shift to the chance zone 1 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S 851 to step S 852, sets any of the chance zone 1 middle modes 1 to 4 by lottery, and After setting the initial value of and the enemy life point (step S853), the process moves to step S854.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S851 that the transition to the chance zone 1 is not made (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S851 to step S854. In step S854, the sub CPU 81 determines the attack type in accordance with the type of the chance zone 1 middle mode and the internal winning combination.

  Incidentally, the chance zone 1 middle mode has 1 to 4 types, and it is easy to select an allied attack in the order of 4, 3, 2 and 1 and there are many subtraction values of enemy life points. Also, the subtraction value of the friend life point may be reduced. Also, the initial values may be made different. A combination or part of these may be adopted to make the degree of advantage different. Furthermore, the selection probability may be made different depending on the plunging opportunity (winning lottery or reaching the ceiling).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines an allied or enemy life point subtraction value according to the type of chance zone 1 middle mode, the internal winning combination and the type of attack determined in the above step S 854 (step S 855). Effect data according to the type, friend or enemy life point subtraction value is determined (step S 856).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 updates the friend or enemy life point using the friend or enemy life point subtraction value determined in step S855 (step S857). Then, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the friend life point is "0" (step S858).

  If the ally life point is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S858 to step S859, and sets the normal state to the next game. Then, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the transition time determined in step S851 is a transition due to reaching the development effect ceiling (step S860). If it is not the transition due to the development effect ceiling arrival (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is a transition due to the development effect ceiling reaching (YES), the sub CPU 81 transfers the process from step S860 to step S861 and refers to the normal game for progress effect ceiling lottery table (FIG. 41). , Determine the number of development effect ceiling according to the chance zone 1 middle mode. After the process of step S861, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S858 that the friend life point is not “0” (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S858 to step S862 and the enemy life point It is determined whether it is 0 ". If it is determined that the enemy life point is not “0” (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if it is determined that the enemy life point is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S 862 to step S 863 and sets the ART preparation state to the next game After that, this subroutine ends.

  In addition, in the above-mentioned chance zone 1, the value when the enemy life point is "0" or less is also counted, and when the minus value falls below a predetermined value according to the counting result, the first hit (7) A bonus may be given to give priority to lottery of navistock value. In this way, depending on how much the game is won in the battle, the bonus is given, and the interest concerning the battle production can be further improved.

[Process 1 in Chance Zone 2]
FIG. 104 is a flowchart showing process 1 in the chance zone 2 called in step S 828 in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is time to shift to the chance zone 2 (step S881). If it is time to shift to chance zone 2 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S 881 to step S 882 to determine whether or not the shift to chance zone 2 is a shift by the number of fake cancellation games. Do.

  If it is determined that the transition is not the transition based on the number of fake cancellation games (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S882 to step S885. On the other hand, if the determination result that the transition is based on the number of fake cancellation games is obtained (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S 882 to step S 883 and determines whether or not the rep during RT1 is won To determine

  If the RT1 middle prize is won (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S883 to step S884 to determine the navigation data for transition to the RT2 gaming state, and then shifts the processing to step S885.

  In step S885, the sub CPU 81 determines chance zone 2 start effect data. After the processing of step S885, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S887.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S881 that the transition to the chance zone 2 is not made (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S881 to step S886 to determine the number of canceled games or After the chance zone 2 middle presentation data is determined according to the number of fake cancellation games and the internal winning combination, the process proceeds to step S887.

  In step S887, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the number of fake cancellation games or the number of cancellation games is “0”. If the fake cancellation game number or the cancellation game number is not “0” (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the number of fake cancellation games or the number of cancellation games is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S 887 to step S 888 and the transition to the chance zone 2 is a fake cancellation game It is determined whether or not it is migration by number.

  If it is not the transition according to the number of fake canceled games (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S888 to step S891, sets the ART preparation state to the next game, and then ends this subroutine. On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S888 that the result of the determination is that there is a shift due to the number of fake canceled games (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S888 to step S889, and the next game number The normal state is set to, and the fake cancellation game number lottery table (FIG. 36) is referred to, and the fake cancellation game number is determined according to the mode and the set value. After the processing of step S890, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

[Process 1 in Chance Zone 3]
FIG. 105 is a flowchart showing process 1 in the chance zone 3 called in step S830 in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is time to shift to the chance zone 3 (step S911). If it is time to shift to chance zone 3 (YES), sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S 911 to step S 912 to set an initial value (for example, “10”) of the number of continued chance zone 3 games, and then step. Transfers the process to S913.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S911, when it is determined that the shift to the chance zone 3 is not made (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S911 to step S913.

  In step S 913, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is RT during RT2. If the internal winning combination is not a reply during RT2 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S913 to step S914 to determine navigation data for RT2 gaming state continuation. After the processing of step S914, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S919.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S913 that the internal winning combination is a reply during RT2 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S913 to step S915 to obtain a chance zone. 3 Refer to the Navi lottery table (FIG. 42) to determine winning and non-winning.

  Then, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the determination result in step S 915 is a winning (step S 916). If the determination result is a win (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S916 to step S917, refers to the navi table for chance zone 3 (at the time of winning) (FIG. 43), and determines navi data. After the processing of step S917, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S919.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S916, when the determination result that it is not winning is obtained (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S916 to step S918, and the navi table for chance zone 3 (when not winning). The navigation data is determined with reference to FIG. After the processing of step S918, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S919.

  In step S 919, the sub CPU 81 subtracts 1 from the number of continued chance zone 3 games, and then determines whether or not the number of continued chance zone 3 games, which is the result of the subtraction, is “0” (step S 920). If the chance zone 3 continued game count is not “0” (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the number of chance zone 3 continuation games is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S920 to step S921 to set the normal state to the next game, and then the fake release game. The number lottery table (FIG. 36) is referred to, and the number of fake cancellation games is determined according to the mode and the setting value. After the processing of step S922, the sub CPU 81 ends the monkey routine.

[Normal process 1]
FIG. 106 is a flowchart showing the process 1 during the normal state called in step S831 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is a precursor 1 or 2 (step S941). If the sign is 1 or 2 (YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the sign is not 1 or 2 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S941 to step S942 to determine whether it is 1 or 2 in the fake sign.

  If it is during fake notification (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S942 to step S952. On the other hand, if it is not during fake notification (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S942 to step S943 and determines whether or not it is during penalty.

  If the penalty is in progress (YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the penalty is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S943 to step S944, refers to the normal game mode lottery table (FIG. 38), and wins the current mode and internal winning. Determine the transition destination mode according to the role. The sub CPU 81 shifts the process to step S945 after the process of step S944.

  In step S945, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the development effect is being performed. If the development effect is being performed (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S945 to step S952. On the other hand, if the development effect is not being performed (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S945 to step S946, refers to the effect group lottery table during normal game, and performs the effect according to the mode and the internal winning combination. Determine the group. Incidentally, when the effect group is determined (step S946), the sub CPU 81 is configured to update the display of the effect history display unit accordingly. As shown in FIG. 107, on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 5, a rendering history display portion AR10 is provided, and on this rendering history display portion AR10, the past rendering history (generation history of renderings) is displayed from the left in chronological order Be done. In the case of the present embodiment, when the same effect group is selected by chance, for example, when the same effect group is selected for two consecutive times, the corresponding effect group is selected next time, so as not to illusion if it is in the middle. The table is configured not to be. As a modification, for example, a table may be configured such that the same rendering group may be selected five consecutive times, and may be configured to shift to an ART preparation state when the same rendering group is selected five consecutive times. Good. Further, the chance zone 4 may be provided, and if it is in the chance zone 4, the display of the effect history display unit may be changeable. Subsequently, in FIG. 106, the sub CPU 81 determines effect data in accordance with the determined effect group and the internal winning combination (step S947). After the process of step S947, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not a development effect group has been determined (step S948).

  If the development effect group is not determined (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S948 to step S952. On the other hand, if the development effect group is determined (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S948 to step S949, and updates the number of development effects.

  Then, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the number of updated development effects is equal to or greater than the number of development effect ceilings (step S950). If the number of development effects is not equal to or more than the number of development effect ceilings (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S950 to step S952. On the other hand, if the number of development effects is equal to or greater than the number of development effect ceilings (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S950 to step S951 to determine the number of prognostic games and sets 1 in prognostic. Then, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine after the process of step S951.

  Further, in step S 952, the sub CPU 81 refers to the chance zone 1 transition lottery table, determines winning or non-winning according to the mode and the internal winning combination, and determines whether the determination result is winning or not. (Step S953).

  If the determination result is a win (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S953 to step S954, determines the number of precursor games, sets the precursor one, and then ends this subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S953 that the determination result is not a win (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S953 to step S955, and is 1 or 2 in fake precursor? Determine if it is not. If it is the fake precursor 1 or 2 (YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if it is not 1 or 2 in the fake precursor (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S 955 to step S 956 to refer to the fake transition lottery table and win according to the mode and the internal winning combination.・ Determining non-winning.

  Then, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not this determination result is a winning (step S957). If the determination result is not a win (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the determination result is a win (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S957 to step S958, determines the number of precursor games, and sets 1 in fake precursor. After the processing of step S958, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  Thus, when the development effect group is determined by executing the process 1 during the normal state shown in FIG. 106, the development effect data to be continued for 1 to 3 games is determined. For example, the development effects such as “Cross the river! (1G to 3G)”, “Cross bridge! (1G to 3G)” or “Let's go through the forest! (1G to 3G)” are determined. In addition, the degree of expectation is assigned to these development effects, for example, "Across the river! (1G to 3G)", "Across the bridge! (1G to 3G)", "Avoid the forest! (1G to 3G The degree of expectation is set to be higher in the order of “)”. Then, these expectations are displayed in a visible manner on a liquid crystal display device or the like. If 3G is selected, new effect group / effect data is not determined during that time.

  In the processing of the sub control circuit 72 including steps S947 to S951 of the above-mentioned processing 1 during normal state, a plurality of developments having a normal effect and a development effect different from this and having different degrees of expectation for the development effect Although there is a rendition, regardless of the degree of expectation, the number of times the development rendition has occurred is stored, and the right of ART is granted based on the fact that the number of times stored is a predetermined number (step S950, YES). By configuring to shift to the easy chance zone 1, even if the development effect with a low level of expectation is executed, another feeling of expectation can be given to the player, and the game of the execution itself of the development effect is performed It can improve the interest.

  In addition, a plurality of development effects are displayed with the corresponding expected degree, and when transitioning to the chance zone 1 (step S950, YES) based on the fact that the development effect has become a predetermined number of times (step S950) The plurality of development effects may be configured to display the same development image as that of the plurality of development effects although the expectation is the same. In this way, it is possible to further increase the degree of expectation regarding the development effect without increasing the image data. In this case, specifically, after the process of changing only the display of the expectation in the image data when the number of development effects is equal to or greater than the number of development effect ceilings in step S950 (YES), It is sufficient to shift to step S951.

  Further, in the normal state processing 1 described above, when the generation histories of a plurality of normal effects generated in the normal state are constantly displayed for a predetermined number of games (FIG. 130, step S1893) Alternatively, when the occurrence history becomes a predetermined combination, it is determined that the ART right is granted (when the number of canceled games in the chance zone 2 is 0) or transition to the chance zone 1 where the ART right is likely to be granted. (FIG. 106, step S952), or by being notified that there is a possibility, the player can be notified even in a situation where only a normal (one game) effect is generated. The sense of expectation can be given, and the generation history can be displayed in a subsidiary manner, whereby the balance of the effects of the entire gaming machine can be maintained. By the way, "there is a possibility of granting ART's right (when the number of canceled games becomes 0 in chance zone 2)" means, for example, when the number of canceled games approaches 0 in chance zone 2, etc. In this case, notification is performed. Also, “There is a possibility of transition to the chance zone 1 where the rights of ART are easily given”, for example, the number of games until the number of development renditions described above with reference to FIG. In this case (in a little after that, the number of times of development effects exceeds the number of times of development effect ceilings) or the like, and notification is performed in this case. The notification may be performed by performing predetermined display on the liquid crystal display device 5 or by outputting predetermined sound effects from the speakers 9L and 9R.

It should be noted that, when the same effect is generated continuously for a predetermined number of games, or when the generation history becomes a predetermined combination, the transition to the chance zone may be actually determined. In this case, it is not necessary to perform a new lottery by the lottery of the normal effect, and it is possible to additionally provide an opportunity for transition to the chance zone.
Further, an effect of changing the occurrence history to be advantageous to the player may be generated. In this case, when a sad effect history is displayed, it is possible to further give the player a sense of expectation.

  Further, in the above-described processing during normal state 1, the transition to the ART preparation state is decided when the same effect is continuous in five games (in the case of the scenario number "9" in FIGS. 44 and 45) In the case of, the same effect is prevented in 5 consecutive games (for example, in FIG. 54, the lottery value of the effect of “off” is set to “0”), but in this case Instead, for example, by setting the lottery value of the effect of “off” in FIG. 54 to other than “0”, the player can shift to ART by continuously performing the same effect (for example, “off”) five times by himself. You may Further, in this case, a predetermined condition, for example, when a predetermined symbol combination is displayed, or when a generation history of effects displayed on the effect history display portion AR10 of the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 5 becomes a predetermined pattern. If, for example, as shown in FIG. 108, a change in the generation history of the effect by the operation of the input button 101 (FIG. 5) is accepted as a privilege grant to the player based on the generation history of the effect. By allowing the player to predict the next game and change the history of effects arbitrarily by operating the input button 101, even if the same effect ends in a small number of times, the feeling of expectation continues to be felt. Can be played continuously. In this regard, conventionally, it has been shown that the history of the effect has been changed in the program, but the player can change it to ART by making it possible for the player to arbitrarily change it. It is possible to have it. The player's own power means that there is room for the player's operation.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 109, ART right is granted by configuring it so as to be able to display a history of the number of games for which ART has reached the first hit and which effect has reached ART. It is possible to easily determine which effect is the one with high expectation. In particular, when introduced into a game arcade as a so-called new platform, it is obvious that it contributes to the operation of the gaming machine. In addition, if one or more effects having at least a setting difference exist in the effect routed to the ART, it will also contribute to the setting determination. Incidentally, as the number of games for which the ART first hit is made, for example, the result of counting the number of games from the power-on of Pachislot 1 to the transition to the RT3 gaming state is stored in the main RAM 33 of the main control circuit 71 Information indicating the number of games is sent from the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72 and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5.

  Regarding this point, as shown in FIG. 35, in the cancellation game number lottery table, for example, in the normal mode, looking at each setting value in the cancellation game number 401 to 500, if the setting value is “1”, the lottery When the setting value is "6" while the value is "500", the lottery value is "5000", and the number of games reaching the cancellation game number is 401 to 500. It can be estimated that it is set to the high probability setting (setting value "6"). Further, in the case of the present embodiment, the transition from the chance zone 2 to the chance zone 3 is made only in the case of fake, and as shown in FIG. 36, in the fake cancellation game number lottery table, for example, the cancellation game When the number (normal) is 1 to 100 games, the lottery value is “1096” when the setting value is “1”, whereas the lottery value is when the setting value is “6”. Is “4096”. From this, it can be inferred that the transition from the chance zone 2 to the chance zone 3 is made from the setting value being high (high probability setting), and the player can have an interest of guessing the setting value.

  In the configuration shown in FIG. 109, the player operates the input button 101 provided on the front door 2 of the pachislot 1 in the animation task management processing (step S733) of the animation task processing shown in FIG. 98. Thus, the command data corresponding to the input operation is transmitted from the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72 in the communication data transmission process, and the sub CPU 82 responds to the initialization command in the animation task management process. Request to execute the screen display. Thus, when the initialization command is received, the liquid crystal display 5 displays the display as shown in FIG.

[Normal number of games management process]
FIG. 110 is a flow chart showing the management processing of the number of games in the normal state called in the step S832 in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not a penalty is in progress (step S971). If it is during the penalty (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S971 to step S972, performs penalty cancellation / continuation processing, and then ends this subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S971 that the result of the determination that the player is not in the penalty is obtained (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S971 to step S973 and subtracts 1 from the number of canceled games. The number of canceled games is decremented by 1 (step S 974).

  Then, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is a precursor 1 or 2 (step S 975). If it is 1 or 2 in the precursor (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S975 to step S981. On the other hand, if it is not 1 or 2 in the precursor (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S975 to step S976 and determines whether or not there are 40 games until the number of canceled games. The number of canceled games means the number of canceled games determined in step S783 of FIG. 100, and “40 games until the number of canceled games” means that there are 40 games until the set number of canceled games is consumed. It is.

  If there are 40 games up to the number of canceled games (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S976 to step S977, determines 32 as the number of precursor games, sets 2 in precursor, and then shifts the processing to step S981 .

  On the other hand, if there are not 40 games until the number of canceled games in the process of step S976 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S976 to step S978 to determine whether or not it is one of fake precursor. . If it is the fake precursor 1 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S978 to step S981. On the other hand, if it is not the fake precursor 1 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S978 to step S979 and determines whether there are 40 games up to the number of fake cancellation games.

  If there are not 40 games until the number of fake cancellation games (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if there are 40 games up to the number of fake cancellation games (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S979 to step S980, determines 32 as the number of precursor games, and sets 2 in the fake precursor. , And moves the process to step S981.

  In step S981, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is a transition time of a precursor or a fake precursor. If it is not the transition time of the precursor or the fake precursor (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S981 to step S983. On the other hand, if it is the transition time of the precursor or the fake precursor (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S981 to step S982, refers to the precursor scenario selection table, and responds to the type of precursor. Determine the scenario number. After the processing of step S982, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S983.

  In step S983, the sub CPU 81 performs progic effect management processing which will be described later with reference to FIG. After the processing of step S983, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

[Premonger production management processing]
FIG. 111 is a flow chart showing the pro-event effect management process called in step S983 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 refers to the precursor management table (FIG. 45), and acquires precursor effect management data according to the scenario number and the number of precursor games (step S1001). When the omen effect management data is “2”, it indicates a normal effect group lottery, and in the case of “3”, it indicates a start game of effect continuous, and in the case of “4”, it indicates effect continuous.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 refers to the precursor management table (FIG. 45) and acquires the development effect flag data according to the scenario number and the number of precursor games (step S1002). When the development effect flag data is "0" Represents no development, and "1" represents development. The development effect is the same as during normal game play.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 refers to the precursor management table (FIG. 45) and acquires effect group data according to the scenario number and the number of precursor games (step S1003). When the effect group data is “0”, it indicates a normal effect group, and when the effect group data is a number other than “0”, it indicates a unique effect group. Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the development effect is being performed (step S1004). If the development effect is being performed (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1004 to step S1014. On the other hand, if the development effect is not being performed (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1004 to step S1005, and determines whether or not the precursor effect management data is "2".

  If the development effect management data is “2” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1005 to step S1010. On the other hand, if the development effect management data is not "2" (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1005 to step S1006, refers to the previous game effect group, and performs the effect according to the internal winning combination. Determine the group. In this case, when the effect group data is "3", an effect group different from the previous game is selected, and when "4", the same effect group as the previous game is selected. Do.

  Next, after determining the effect data according to the determined effect group (step S1007), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the development effect flag data is “1” (step S1008).

  If the development effect flag data is not "1" (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1008 to step S1014. On the other hand, if the development effect flag data is “1” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1008 to step S1009, and develops according to the precursor type, precursor game number and scenario number. Determine the presentation data. After the processing of step S1009, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S1010.

  In step S1010, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the effect group data is "0". If the effect group data is not "0" (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1010 to step S1011, determines the effect group according to the effect group data and the internal winning combination, and proceeds to step S1012. Move.

  On the other hand, if the effect group data is “0” (YES) in the process of step S1010, the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1010 to step S1012. In step S1012, the sub CPU 81 determines an effect group according to the internal winning combination, and further determines effect data according to the determined effect group (step S1013). After the processing of step S1013, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S1014.

  In step S1014, the sub CPU 81 subtracts "1" from the precursor game number, and determines whether the precursor game number, which is the subtraction result, is "0" (step S1015). If the precursor game number is not “0” (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the precursor game number is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1015 to step S1016 and performs the precursor transition process described later with reference to FIG. . After the processing of step S1016, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  In the aura of effect production management process described above, with regard to the aura (including fakes) for transitioning to a state advantageous to the player (chance zones 1 and 2), the normal effect group lottery is carried out with respect to the number of remaining admonition games. An identifier for determining what to do (predator effect management data “2” (FIG. 45) and an effect group determined immediately before is an effect group, and an effect for a predetermined number of games is determined from the same effect group Select a scenario number in which an identifier for starting to be displayed (precursor effect management data “3” (FIG. 45) and an identifier for continuing (precursor effect management data “4” (FIG. 45) are associated with each other) Therefore, by configuring to manage the effect (step S1001), it is determined whether the effect is to be generated as in the normal state, even in the middle to the middle. In Rukoto, while difficult to recognize the current state and, for between predetermined number of games at aura completion, without causing inconsistency, it is possible to impart proper expectation to the player.

  Note that a plurality of stages relating to effects may be provided, and an identifier relating to whether or not to change the stage may be managed according to the scenario number and the remaining precursor game number.

  Furthermore, after an effect for a predetermined number of games is selected from the same effect group, an identifier for starting continuous effect (development effect) is managed according to the scenario number and the number of remaining precursor games. It is also good.

Post-adolescent migration process
FIG. 112 is a flowchart showing the aura-post transition process called in step S1016 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is a precursor (step S1051). If it is a precursor (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1051 to step S1052 to set the chance zone 1 in the next game, and then ends this subroutine.

  On the other hand, if the precursor is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1051 to step S1053, and determines whether it is the precursor 2 or the fake precursor 2 or not. If the warning is 2 in precursor or 2 in false (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1053 to step S1054, sets the chance zone 2 in the next game, and then ends this subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is not the precursor 2 or the fake precursor 2 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1053 to step S1055, and determines whether it is the fake precursor 1 or not. If it is the fake precursor 1 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1055 to step S1056, sets the normal state to the next game, and then ends this subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is not during fake notification (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  In the above-described FIG. 102 to FIG. 112, the normal game in-progress processing 1 called in step S805 in the start command reception processing described above with reference to FIG. 101 is executed.

[Process 1 during ART]
FIG. 113 is a flowchart showing ART in-progress processing 1 called in step S802 of the start command reception processing described above with reference to FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the ART start game number increase state, which is the control state of the sub control circuit 72, is in progress (step S1211). If the ART start game number addition game is in progress (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S 1211 to step S 1212 and during ART start game number increase processing 1 described later with reference to FIG. Run.

  After the processing of step S1212, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S1221 (described later).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1211 that the game start state during ART start is not in the add state (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1211 to step S1213 and is in the ART normal state. It is determined whether or not If in the ART normal state (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1213 to step S1214 and executes ART normal state processing 1 which will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After the processing of step S1214, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S1221 (described later).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1213 that the ART normal state is not in effect (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1213 to step S1215, and determines whether or not the ART is superimposed on the lottery state. Determine if If it is in the ART addition lottery state (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1215 to step S1216, and executes the ART addition lottery state processing 1 described later with reference to FIG.

  After the processing of step S1216, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S1221 (described later).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1215 that the ART-superposed lottery state is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1215 to step S1217 and is in the ART-superimposed state Determine if it is not. If in the ART addition state (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S 1217 to step S 1218, and executes the ART addition state processing 1 described later with reference to FIG. 118.

  After the processing of step S1218, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S1221 (described later).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1217 that the ART-superimposed state is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1217 to step S1219 and is in ART continuous lottery state? Determine if it is not. If in the ART continuous lottery state (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S 1219 to step S 1220, and executes ART continuous lottery state in-process 1 which will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After the process of step S 1220 or when the sub CPU 81 obtains a determination result that the state of not ART continuous lottery is not obtained in the process of step S 1219 (NO), it transfers the process to step S 1221.

In step S1221, the sub CPU 81 executes save processing described later with reference to FIG.
The sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine after the process of step S1221.

[Process on top of the number of games during ART start processing 1]
FIG. 114 is a flow chart showing processing 1 during ART start-up game number increase state called in step S1212 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is time to shift to the process 1 during the ART start game number increase state (step S 1241). If it is not the time to shift to the process 1 during the ART start game number addition state (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1241 to step S1244. On the other hand, if it is at the transition to processing 1 during the ART start game number addition state (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1241 to step S1242 and determines whether it is a transition from the ART normal state Determine if it is not.

  If it is a transition from the ART normal state (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1242 to step S1244. On the other hand, if it is not a transition from the ART normal state (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1242 to step S1243 and determines 7 navistock values by lottery with reference to the transition source state etc. Do. After the processing of step S1243, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S1244.

7 In the determination process of the navi stock value (step S 1243), the sub CPU 81 is the type of chance zone 1 to 3 and the type of mode in the normal game before the shift of the chance zone, in addition to the transition from normal game In the chance zone 1, 7 navistock values are appropriately determined according to the type of the in-zone mode, the number of canceled games, and the like.
For example, when the mode in the normal game before the transition is "very high probability", 7 navigation stock value of "5" or more is set.

  In addition, in the transition from the ART continuous lottery state, 7 navistock values are determined in accordance with the type of map that has been finally staying.

  In this case, when staying at a predetermined map (for example, 7 · 9 · 10), 7 navistock values of a predetermined number or more (for example, at least “5” or more) are added.

  A plurality of tables similar to the ART-superimposed-state 7-navistock value lottery table (FIG. 59) may be provided, and the 7-navistock value may be determined by lottery based on these tables.

  Also, the present invention is not limited to the determination method of 7 navistock values described above, and other various determination methods can be applied.

  In step S1244, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is during RT3. If the internal winning combination is not a reply during RT3 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1244 to step S1248, determines the RT3 gaming state continuation navigation data, and then ends this subroutine. RT3 gaming state continued navigation data, RT1 transition lip (bottom lip, cross-up lip), RT1 transition symbol and anomalous bell is not displayed (in other words, it does not shift to a disadvantageous state and can receive more medal payouts) It is data for notifying the stop operation order according to the internal winning combination.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S1244, if the internal winning combination is a replay during RT3 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1244 to step S1245, and adds the number of games at the start of ART navigation state navigation Referring to the table (FIG. 46), the navigation data is determined according to the 7 navigation stock value. The navigation data is data for notifying the stop operation order. Also, the 7 navistock value means the right to receive notification of the pressing order of 7 sets.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the 7 navistock value is 1 or more (step S1246). If the navistock value is not 1 or more (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the 7 navistock value is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1246 to step S1247, subtracts 1 from the 7 navistock value, and terminates this subroutine.

[ART normal state processing 1]
FIG. 115 is a flowchart showing ART in-state normal state process 1 called in step S1214 in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the transition destination state is determined (step S1261). If the transition destination state has been determined (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1261 to step S1262, and refers to the ART normal state precursor effect group lottery table (FIG. 52 to FIG. 54), The effect group is determined according to the number of prognostic games, the internal winning combination, and the number of continuous effects in the same system.

  Then, the sub CPU 81 updates the effect group according to the transition destination state with reference to the ART normal state prominence effect group rewrite random determination table (FIG. 51) (step S 1263), and the effect group and internal winning combination determined further. The effect data is determined according to (step S1264).

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the precursor game number is “0” (step S1265). If the precursor game number is not “0” (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1265 to step S1270, updates the precursor game number, and then shifts the processing to step S1276.

  On the other hand, in the process of the step S1265, when the precursor game number is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from the step S1265 to the step S1266 to determine whether or not this is a precursor. Do. If not (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1266 to step S1269, clears the transition prestate, and then shifts the process to step S1276.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S1266, if the present situation (YES), the sub CPU81 transfers the process from step S1266 to step S1267 to set the transition destination state determined as the next game, Further, transition effect data corresponding to the determined transition destination state is determined (step S1268). After the processing of step S1268, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S1276.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S1261, when the transition destination state is not determined (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1261 to step S1271 and performs the normal effect determination process during the ART normal state. In this process, the sub CPU 81 determines the order of the effect group and the effect data in accordance with the internal winning combination, as in the case of the precursor.

  After the process of step S1271, the sub CPU 81 refers to the ART normal state transition destination state lottery table (FIG. 48) and determines the transition destination state according to the internal winning combination (step S1272). Note that transitional lottery may be performed according to the number of remaining ART games. As the transition destination determined at this time, "No transition (loss)", "fake 1 (weak fake)", "fake 2 (strong fake)", "ART added lottery state 1 (weak chance)", " There are ART added lottery status 2 (medium chance), “ART added lottery status 3 (strong chance)”, “ART added lottery status 4 (special chance)” and “ART added status 2 (confirmed)” (FIG. 48) .

  Then, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the determination content in step S1272 is "do not shift" (step S1273). If the determination content is “do not shift” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1273 to step S1276. On the other hand, if the content of the determination is not "do not shift" (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1273 to step S1274, and refers to the ART NORMAL state forprecursive game number lottery table (FIG. 49). After the number of prognostic games is determined in accordance with the transition destination state, the number of continuous rendition effects in the same system is determined in accordance with the internal winning combination with reference to the protagonist effect lottery table for ART normal state (FIG. 50) (step S1275). The sub CPU 81 shifts the process to step S1276 after the process of step S1275.

  In step S1276, the sub CPU 81 determines RT3 gaming state continuation navigation data. This process is the same as the process content of step S 1248 in FIG. Then, the sub CPU 81 performs the ART normal state game number management process, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 116, in step S1277, and then ends the present subroutine.

[ART normal state game number management process]
FIG. 116 is a flow chart showing the ART normal state game number management process called in step S1277 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 subtracts one from the number of ART games (step S1291), and subsequently determines whether the number of ART games is “0” as a subtraction result (step S1292). If the number of ART games is not “0” (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the number of ART games is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1292 to step S1293 and determines whether or not the 7 navistock value is “1” or more. Do.

  [7] If the navi stock value is “1” or more (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1293 to step S1294 to set the ART start number of games start state to the next game, and then this subroutine ends. Do.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S1293, when 7 navistock value is not "1" or more (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1293 to step S1295 and sets ART continuous lottery state to the next game. After setting, this subroutine ends.

  As shown in FIG. 116, in the present embodiment, the number of ART games is subtracted only in the ART normal state, but in addition to this, the number of ART games is also in the ART addition lottery state May be configured to subtract.

[ART additional lottery process in progress 1]
FIG. 117 is a flow chart showing ART addition lottery state processing 1 called in step S1216 in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is time to shift to processing during the ART added lottery state (step S1311). If it is not the time to shift to the process 1 during the ART addition lottery state (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1311 to step S1313. On the other hand, if it is at the time of transition to ART addition lottery process 1 (YES), the sub CPU 81 transfers the process from step S1311 to step S1312, and sets initial values of friend life points and enemy life points. After that, the process moves to step S1313.

  In step S1313, the sub CPU 81 determines the attack type in accordance with the type of ART added lottery status and the internal winning combination, and further, in accordance with the type of ART added lottery status, the internal winning combination and the determined attack type. A friend or enemy life point subtraction value is determined (step S1314). In addition, there are four types of ART added lottery status, and it is easy to be selected an allied attack in the order of ART added lottery status 1, ART added lottery status 2, ART added lottery status 3 and ART added lottery status 4 in this order. There are many subtraction values of. By the way, the subtraction value of the friend life point may be reduced, and the initial value may be made different. Also, combinations or parts of these may be adopted to vary the degree of advantage.

  Then, the sub CPU 81 determines effect data according to the attack type, the friend or the enemy life point subtraction value (step S1315), and updates the friend or the enemy life point (step S1316). After the processing of step S1316, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the friend life point is “0” (step S1317).

  If the ally life point is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1317 to step S1318, sets the ART normal state to the next game, and then shifts the process to step S1321.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S1317, if the friend life point is not "0" (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1317 to step S1319 and determines whether the enemy life point is "0". Determine if

  If the enemy life point is not "0" (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1319 to step S1321. On the other hand, if the enemy life point is “0”, the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1319 to step S1320, sets the ART added state to the next game, and then shifts the process to step S1321.

  At step S1321, the sub CPU 81 determines RT3 gaming state continuation navigation data.

[Process during ART addition state 1]
FIG. 118 is a flow chart showing ART addition processing state 1 called in step S1218 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is time to shift to the processing 1 during the ART addition state (step S1341). If it is not the time to shift to the process 1 during the ART addition state (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1341 to step S1348. On the other hand, if it is time to shift to ART addition state processing 1 (YES), the sub CPU 81 transfers the processing from step S1341 to step S1342 to set the initial value of ART addition state continuation game count (for example, “30 Is set, and navigation mode 1 is set as an initial value of navigation mode (step S1343).

  Then, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not there is a transition from the ART addition lottery state (step S1344). If it is a transition from the ART addition lottery state (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1344 to step S1347 and sets the ART addition status 1 or 2 by lottery, and then shifts the processing to step S1348. The lottery in step S1347 may be determined by lottery in accordance with the set value, the number of remaining games, and the 7-navistock value.

  On the other hand, if it is not the transition from the ART addition lottery state in step S1344 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1344 to step S1345 to set the ART addition state 2 and further 7 navistocks. After “5” is added as the value (step S1346), the process proceeds to step S1348. It should be noted that, instead of the set processing of the ART additional state 2 in step S1345, a lottery may be performed as to whether the ART additional state 2 is to be set or the ART additional state is to be set.

  In step S1348, the sub CPU 81 refers to the navigation table lottery table for ART addition status (FIGS. 56 to 58), and determines the transition destination according to the ART addition status, navigation mode, and internal winning combination. Note that, in the case of the present embodiment, the higher navigation mode (navi mode with a high degree of expectation) is more easily selected in the ART additional state 2 than in the ART additional state 1.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the internal winning combination is a rep during RT3 (step S1349). If the internal winning combination is not a reply during RT3 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1349 to step S1350, determines the navigation data for RT3 gaming state continuation, and then shifts the process to step S1355.

  On the other hand, if the internal winning combination is a replay during RT3 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1349 to step S1351 and refers to the ART addition state navigation lottery table (FIG. 55) Determine winning and non-winning according to the mode. Then, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the determination result is a winning (step S1352).

  If the determination result is a win (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1352 to step S1353, refers to the navigation table for ART addition status (at winning), determines navigation data, and then proceeds to step S1355 Transfer the process. The navigation data determined at the time of winning announces the stop operation order of seven sets.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S1352, when the determination result is not a win (NO), the sub CPU 81 transfers the process from step S1352 to step S1354 to show the ART top navigation state navigation table (when not winning). After reference is made and navigation data are determined, the process moves to step S1355.

  In step S1355, the sub CPU 81 subtracts one from the ART additional state continuing game number, and determines whether the ART additional state continuing game number is “0” as a result of the subtraction (step S1356).

  If the ART-addition-state continued game number is not “0” (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the number of ART additional games continued is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1356 to step S1357 to set the ART normal status to the next game, and then this subroutine Finish.

  The navi mode determined in the above-described ART-superimposed-state process 1 may be saved in a save process (FIG. 120) described later.

[ART continuous lottery state processing 1]
FIG. 119 is a flowchart showing ART continuous lottery state in progress processing 1 called in step S1220 in FIG. 113.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is time to shift to the process 1 during the ART continuous lottery state (step S1371). If it is time to shift to ART continuous lottery state processing 1 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1371 to step S1372 to refer to the ART continuous lottery state start time map lottery table (FIG. 60), Determine the initial map according to the last battle point value and the internal winning combination. Then, the sub CPU 81 determines effect data for ART continuous lottery state start time (step S1373), and moves the process to step S1376.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S1371, when it is not the transition time (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1371 to step S1374, and transfers the ART continuous lottery state map transition lottery table (FIGS. 63 to 69). In accordance with the stay map, the internal winning combination, and the map management data, the migration destination (map 1 to map 10, or “no migration”) is determined. Then, the sub CPU 81 determines the effect data in accordance with the stay map, the ART continuous lottery state map management data (FIG. 61), and the number of stay games (step S1375), and moves the process to step S1376.

  In step S1376, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the map management data is "C". If the map management data is “C” (YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. When the map management data is "C", navigation for ART to continue is not performed in the subsequent games. Therefore, while the LOSE screen is displayed on the screen, it is in a state of waiting for transition to RT1 (or RT0). However, even in this case, since the map shift lottery is performed, if the map shift lottery is won before shifting to RT1 (RT0), the map management data corresponding to the number of staying games in the map thereafter is set. It will be done.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1376 that the ART continuous lottery state map management data (FIG. 61) is not “C” (NO), the sub CPU 81 performs the process from step S1376 to step S1377. Transfer and determine the navigation data for RT3 gaming state continuation. Then, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the map management data is "I" or "J" (step S1378).

  If the map management data is “I” or “J” (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S 1378 to step S 1379 and sets the state of adding the number of games at ART start to the next game, the present subroutine Finish. On the other hand, if the map management data is not "I" or "J" (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1378 to step S1380 to update the number of stay games, and then this subroutine ends. Do.

  In this manner, it is determined whether or not to give points when seven sets in the ART start game number addition state are given, and based on the points, the management state including the final battle state wins and losses that occur over multiple games at ART end By configuring to determine the map, the player can expect that the specific condition is satisfied and the ART continues even if the number of ART games added is small. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from being reduced.

Also, by configuring the management state to be changed (to be further advantageous) by the internal winning combination in the final battle state, the progress of the final battle state is temporarily unclear Even if it is, it can give the player a sense of expectation until the end.
Furthermore, even if the number of ART games added is small by configuring to perform lottery of more advantageous point grants every predetermined number of times of 7 alignments including the first 7 alignments, there are many cases ( Even in the case of a predetermined number of times or more, different expectations can be given to players in different situations while using the same method.

[Save process]
FIG. 120 is a flowchart showing the save process called in step S1221 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the save flag is on (step S1401). If the save flag is not on (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1401 to step S1405. On the other hand, if the save flag is on (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1401 to step S1402 and determines whether it is the save data generation timing. In the case of ART start-up game number addition state, even if the middle player who is the save part wins (step S1405, YES), it is not that the ART game number at the time of win is saved immediately but its state (ART start game Since the number of ART games at the end of the number addition state is saved, in the case of the ART start number of games addition state, the end time is determined as the save data generation timing in this step S1402. . In addition, in the case of ART continuous lottery status, even if the middle player who is the save player wins (Step S1405, YES), the number of ART games at the time of winning is not saved immediately but the number of games for starting ART next time is added Since the number of ART games at the end of the state is saved, in the case of the ART continuous lottery state, the end time of the next ART disclosure game number addition state is judged as the save data generation timing in this step S1402. It has become.

  If it is not the save data generation timing (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1402 to step S1405. On the other hand, if it is the save data generation timing (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1402 to step S1403 to generate save data according to the current state and the number of ART games, and saves the data. Remember. In this case, in addition to the number of ART games, the contents of the effect (effect stage and sound effects (BGM)) at that time are also saved.

  Then, the sub CPU 81 turns off the save flag (step S1404), and then shifts the processing to step S1405. In step S1405, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is a middle step combination. If the internal winning combination is not the middle step combination (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the internal winning combination is the middle step combination (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1405 to step S1406 and determines whether or not there is a save flag or save data.

  If there is a save flag or save data (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1406 to step S1407, adds "5" as the 7 navistock value, and ends this subroutine. On the other hand, if there is no save flag or save data in step S1406 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1406 to step S1408 and adds "50" as the number of ART games, and then ART It is determined whether or not the start game number addition state or the ART continuous lottery state is set (step S1409).

  If the ART start game number addition state or the ART continuous lottery state is not (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1409 to step S1410, and generates save data according to the current state and the number of ART games. After storing the generated save data, the present subroutine ends. In this case, in addition to the number of ART games, the contents of the effect (effect stage and sound effects (BGM)) at that time are also saved.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1409 that the ART start game number increase state or the ART continuous lottery state is obtained (YES), the sub CPU 81 performs the process from step S1409 to step S1411. After the save flag is turned on, the present subroutine ends.

  As described above, in the save process described above, when winning the save part (middle pie chirip), 50 games are added to the ART game number at the end of the state and saved in the ART start game number addition state. In the normal state, ART added lottery state or ART added state, 50 games are added to the ART game number at the time of winning and saved, and in the ART continuous lottery state, ART at the end of the next ART start game number added state 50 games are added to the number of games and saved. In the case of the present embodiment, the saved data is loaded in step S1803 of ART end processing described later with reference to FIG. 134. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be loaded at timing.

  In addition, as the save content, all or part of the ART game number, 7 navistock value, last battle point value, etc. can be saved. Further, when the effect content changes with the number of remaining games in the ART or 7 navistock value, the effect content after the change may be saved.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4, when the set is repeatedly returned to the ART start game number addition state from the ART start number game state through the ART normal state and the ART continuous lottery state, the process is repeated The content of the effect can be changed according to the number of repetitions, in which case the number of sets is repeated by saving the effect content after the change to maintain the changed state. The effect content can be prevented from being interrupted on the way.

[Reel stop command reception processing]
FIG. 121 is a flow chart showing a process when receiving a reel stop command called in step S760 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is in the ART (step S1511). If the ART is being performed (YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if ART is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1511 to step S1512, and determines whether or not ART preparation is in progress. If the ART preparation is underway (YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the ART preparation is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1512 to step S1513 and determines whether or not the chance zone 3 is in progress. If it is in the chance zone 3 (YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

[Process during ART 2]
FIG. 123 is a flowchart showing ART-in-progress processing 2 called in step S1702 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the ART start game number addition is in progress (step S1721). If the ART start game number increase state is in progress (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1721 to step S1722, and the ART start game number increase state processing 2 described later with reference to FIG. After this, the present subroutine ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1721 that the game start state during ART start is not in the over state (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1721 to step S1723, and ART It is determined whether or not the normal state is in progress. If it is in the ART normal state (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1723 to step S1724 and performs the ART normal state processing 2. In this ART in the normal state process 2, the sub CPU 81, in the same manner as in the ART start game number increase process in state 2 (described later in FIG. 124), the ART is terminated if it has shifted to low RT. The hour process (FIG. 126) is performed. After the processing of step S1724, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1723 that the ART normal state is not in effect (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1723 to step S1725 and is in the ART superimposed lottery state. It is determined whether or not If the ART addition lottery state is being performed (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1725 to step S1726 to perform the ART addition lottery state in-process 2. In this ART addition lottery process 2, the sub CPU 81 moves to the low RT when the pushing order is incorrect as in the ART start game number addition process 2 (described later in FIG. 124), ART An end time process (FIG. 126) is performed. After the processing of step S1726, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1725 that the ART addition lottery state is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1725 to step S1727 and is in the ART addition state. It is determined whether or not If the ART addition state is being performed (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1727 to step S1728, and performs the ART addition state in progress processing 2 described later with reference to FIG. After the processing of step S1728, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1727 that the ART is not in the add state (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1727 to step S1729 and is in the ART continuous lottery state. It is determined whether or not If the ART continuous lottery state is not in progress (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the ART continuous lottery state is in progress (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1729 to step S1730, and performs ART continuous lottery state in-process 2. In this ART continuous lottery state processing 2, the sub CPU 81 shifts to low RT and makes a shift to low RT as in the ART start game number addition state processing 2 (described later in FIG. 124), or If the map management data is "C" and the push order is not notified and the low RT is entered, the ART end processing (FIG. 126) is performed. After the processing of step S1730, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

[Processing during the start of ART 2)
FIG. 124 is a flow chart showing the processing 2 during the ART start game number addition state called in the step S1722 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the internal winning combination is a rep during RT3 (step S1751). If the internal winning combination is not a reply during RT3 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to step S1763. On the other hand, if the internal winning combination is a replay during RT3 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1751 to step S1752 and determines whether or not 7 reps are navigation data to be displayed. . If the 7th reply is not navigation data to be displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1752 to step S1760.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1752 that the 7th data is navigation data to be displayed (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1752 to step S1753, It is determined whether or not it is a lip display. If the 7-relip display is not displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1753 to step S1760.

  On the other hand, when the determination result that 7-rip display is obtained in the process of step S1753, the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1753 to step S1754 and adds 1 to the 7-set counter. With reference to the last battle point table for number-of-games addition state at ART start, the last battle point addition value is determined according to the seven-set counter value (step S1755).

  Then, after updating the last battle point counter according to the determined last battle point addition value (step S1756), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the main control (control by the main control circuit 71) has a lock. (Step S1757). If the main control is locked (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1757 to step S1758, adds 100 as the number of ART games, and then ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1757 that the main control is not locked (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1757 to step S1759 and sets it as the number of ART games. After 30 is added, this subroutine is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1752 that the navigation data does not indicate 7 reps (NO), or if it is determined in step S1753 that the display does not indicate 7 reps ( In step S1760, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the display is the upper-stage ripple or the cross-down ripple.

  If it is not the upper stage rep or cross down rep display (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1760 to step S1763. On the other hand, if the display is in the upper row lip or the cross down lip display (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1760 to step S1761 and determines whether or not the 7 navistock value is "0". .

  If the navistock value is not “0” (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. In this way, 7 display navigation data is displayed, but if pressing order is wrong, and if a message to maintain RT3 is displayed, if 7 navigation stock value remains, the number of games added at ART start is increased The state is maintained.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S1761 above, if the 7 navistock value is "0" (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1761 to step S1762 and sets the ART normal state. Exit the subroutine As described above, when the 7 display navigation data is displayed but the pressing order is incorrect, the ART normal state is set together with the 7 navigation stock value digestion.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1751 that the internal winning combination is not a rep during RT3 (NO), or in the process of step S1760, the upper lip or the cross down lip is not displayed. If the determination result is obtained (NO), in step S1763, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the lower lip, the crossover lip, the irregular bell, or the RT1 transition symbol display. If the lower lip, the cross-up lip, the irregular bell or the RT1 transition symbol display is not displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if it is the lower stage lip, the cross-up lip, the irregular bell or the RT1 transition symbol display (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1763 to step S1764 and will be described later with reference to FIG. After the ART end processing is performed, this subroutine is ended. As described above, when the 7 display navigation data is displayed, but the pressing order is incorrect, and when the ripple to shift to RT1 is displayed, the game is shifted to the normal game. In addition, when a symbol combination to shift to RT0 or 1 is displayed if the pushing order is wrong, the game is shifted to the normal game.

FIG. 125 is a flowchart showing ART addition processing state processing 2 called in step S1728 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is a rep during RT3 (step S1781). If the internal winning combination is not a reply during RT3 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1781 to step S1786. On the other hand, if the internal winning combination is a replay during RT3 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1781 to step S1782 and determines whether or not 7 replays are navigation data to be displayed. .

  If the 7th reply is not navigation data to be displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1782 to step S1786. On the other hand, if 7 reps are navigation data to be displayed (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1782 to step S1783, and determines whether or not 7 reps are displayed.

  If the 7-relip display is not displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S783 to step S1786. On the other hand, if the 7th display is displayed (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from 1783 to step S1784 and refers to the ART added state 7 navistock value lottery table (FIG. 59). Based on the presence or absence of the lock of the control by the control circuit 71, 7 navistock values are determined.

  Then, the sub CPU 81 adds the determined 7 navistock values (step S1785), and ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, when the determination result that the internal winning combination is not a rep during RT3 is obtained in the process of step S1781 (NO), it is determined that the navigation data is not navigation data for which 7 reps are displayed in the process of step S1782. Is obtained (NO), or when it is determined that the 7-relip display is not displayed in the process of step S1783 (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines in step S1786 the lower lip, the cross-up lip, and the anomaly. It is determined whether it is bell or RT1 transition symbol display.

  If the lower lip, the cross-up lip, the irregular bell or the RT1 transition symbol display is not displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the lower lip, the cross-up lip, the irregular bell or the RT1 transition symbol is displayed (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1786 to step S1787 and later refers to FIG. After the ART end processing is performed, this subroutine is ended. As described above, when the 7 display navigation data is displayed, but the pressing order is incorrect, and when the ripple to shift to RT1 is displayed, the game is shifted to the normal game.

[Process at the end of ART]
FIG. 126 is a flowchart showing an ART end time process called in step S1764 of FIG. 124 or step S1787 of FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether save data is present (step S1801). If there is save data (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1801 to step S1802, sets the ART preparation state, and then sets load data at ART restart time according to the save data (step S1803), This subroutine ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S1801 that no save data exists (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1801 to step S1804 to set the normal state, Further, "normal" is set as the mode (step S1805). The process of setting “normal” as the mode may be determined by lottery.

  Then, the sub CPU 81 refers to the cancellation game number lottery table (FIG. 35) to determine the cancellation game number according to the mode and the setting value (step S1806), and refers to the fake cancellation game number lottery table (FIG. 36). The number of fake cancellation games is determined according to the mode and the set value (step S1807), and further, the number of development effect ceilings according to the set value with reference to the development effect ceiling lottery table at the end of ART (FIG. 40). Are determined (step S1808). After the processing of step S1808, the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is in the chance zone 2 (step S1831). If it is in the chance zone 2 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1831 to step S1832, and performs the process 2 in the chance zone 2 which will be described later with reference to FIG. finish.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the chance zone 2 is not in the process of step S1831 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1831 to step S1833, and is in the chance zone 3? Determine if it is not. If the chance zone 3 is not in place (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is in the chance zone 3 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1833 to step S1834 and performs the process 2 in the chance zone 3 which will be described later with reference to FIG. After that, this subroutine ends.

  By executing the normal game processing 2, it is possible to prevent transition to RT 2 even though navigation is not performed.

[Process 2 in Chance Zone 2]
FIG. 128 is a flowchart showing process 2 in the chance zone 2 called in step S1832 in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not RT2 gaming state transition navigation data is set (step S1851). If the navigation data for transitioning to the RT2 gaming state is not set (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if the RT2 gaming state transition navigation data is set (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1851 to step S1852 and determines whether or not it is RT2 transition ripple display. If the RT2 transition ripple display is not displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is the RT2 transition ripple display (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1852 to step S1853, sets the chance zone 3 in the next game, and then ends this subroutine.

[Process 2 in Chance Zone 3]
FIG. 129 is a flowchart showing process 2 in the chance zone 3 called in step S1834 in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is a rep during RT2 (step S1871). If the internal winning combination is not a reply during RT2 (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1871 to step S1875.

  On the other hand, if the internal winning combination is a replay during RT2 (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1871 to step S1872 and determines whether or not 7 reps are navigation data to be displayed. If the 7th reply is not navigation data to be displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1872 to step S1875.

  On the other hand, if the 7th data is navigation data to be displayed (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1872 to step S1873 and determines whether 7th display is made or not. When the 7-reip display is not performed (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1873 to step S1875.

  On the other hand, if there is 7-reip display (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing from step S1873 to step S1874 to set the ART preparation state, and then ends this subroutine.

  On the other hand, when the determination result that the internal winning combination is not a rep during RT2 is obtained in the process of step S1871 (NO), it is determined that 7 navigation is not the navigation data to be displayed in the process of step S1872. If the result is obtained (NO), or if it is determined in the process of step S1873 that the 7-rip display is not displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines in step S1875 the lower lip, the cross-up lip, It is determined whether or not the irregular bell or the RT1 transition symbol display. If the lower lip, the cross-up lip, the irregular bell or the RT1 transition symbol display is not displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if the lower stage lip, the cross-up lip, the irregular bell or the RT1 transition symbol display (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1875 to step S1876 and sets the normal state, and then the chance zone 3 Determine whether the number of continuing games is “0”.

  If the chance zone 3 continuation game number is “0” (YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the chance zone 3 continued game count is not "0" (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1877 to step S1878 to refer to the fake game release number table (FIG. 36), After the number of fake cancellation games is set according to the mode and the set value, this subroutine is ended.

[Process when receiving input status command]
FIG. 130 is a flowchart showing an input state command reception process called in step S768 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is in the non-playing state (step S1891). If it is not in the non-playing state (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if it is in the non-gaming state (YES) (specifically, there is no medal insertion and start operation and there is no reception of those commands), the sub CPU 81 transfers the process to step S1891 to step S1892. To determine whether there is a history display request. The history display request may be determined when a command by the operation of the input button 101 is transmitted from the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72 by the player operating the input button 101 (FIG. 5). it can.

  If there is no history display request (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if there is a history display request (YES), the sub CPU 81 shifts the process from step S1892 to step S1893, generates history display data from the history storage data, and then ends this subroutine.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to what was mentioned above.

  As another embodiment, additional benefits are added based on the number of consecutive wins when battle victory obtained as a result of execution of chance zone 1 shown in FIG. It may be given in

  Specifically, the following processing or operation can be realized by partially changing the processing in the chance zone 1 shown in FIG. In addition, about the component the same as that of the component in embodiment mentioned above, or similar, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Describing FIG. 103 as a substitute, if the enemy line point is updated by subtraction in step S 857, it is determined whether or not the enemy life point is “0” in step S 862 after step S 858: NO. If the determination result that the point is “0” is obtained (YES), the battle is won as the final result of the chance zone 1. On the other hand, when the ally line point is updated by subtraction in step S 857, it is determined whether the ally life point is “0” or not in step S 858, and the determination result that the ally life point is “0” is If it gets (YES), it will lose the battle as the final result of chance zone 1.

  In the case of battle victory in the chance zone 1 described above, that is, in the case of step S 862: YES, the sub CPU 81 counts the number of consecutive wins corresponding to the number of consecutive battle wins obtained for each chance zone 1 The number of consecutive wins is stored in the sub RAM 83. The sub RAM 83 is provided with a continuous victory number counter for storing the continuous victory number. Note that the value of the consecutive victory number counter stored as the consecutive victory number is reset to “0” in the case of step S 858: YES, that is, in the case of battle defeat in the chance zone 1.

  Further, in the sub RAM 83, a record information recording area is provided separately from the consecutive win number counter. In the record information recording area, when there is an update request described later, the value of the consecutive win number counter is recorded as record information.

  After making it possible to access such a continuous victory number counter and the record information recording area, the sub CPU 81 performs the processing of step S 862 as the current consecutive victory number in the continuous victory number counter and the record information in the record information recording area. Compare with the number of consecutive consecutive victorys listed.

  As the above comparison result, if the current number of consecutive wins exceeds the number of past consecutive wins as record information, the sub CPU 81 gives a further benefit. As the benefit, for example, the ART game number predetermined in advance separately from the ART game number added in step S1758 or step S1759 in FIG. In the case where the right to shift to the ART addition state is given from the normal state through the precursor or ART addition lottery state, or when the ART continues by the so-called number of sets, adding 1 as the number of sets is applied can do.

  Then, if the current number of consecutive wins exceeds the number of past consecutive wins as record information as the above comparison result, the sub CPU 81 makes an update request for the record information. By this update request, the value of the consecutive wins counter (continuous wins) is transferred (recorded) as new record information in the record information recording area, and the record information is updated. Thereafter, the sub CPU 81 proceeds to the process of step S863. It should be noted that such update of record information and addition of additional benefits will be performed when the chance zone 1 is ended and the state shifts to the ART preparation state.

  The record information recorded in the record information recording area in this way is displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 5 under the control of the sub CPU 81. FIG. 131 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the liquid crystal display device 5. As shown in the figure, a record information display section RD20 is provided on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 5, and the record information display section RD20 has the number of consecutive wins (for example, "two times") as record information. Is displayed. For example, when the number of consecutive wins "3 times" exceeding this is obtained with respect to the number of times of continuous win "2 times" as the record information displayed in this way, the record information is updated to "3 times" and the record information display unit RD20 "3 times" will be displayed on. When the player moves to the chance zone 1 with the record information displayed in the record information display unit RD20 as a target, the player can increase the sense of expectation that the additional benefit is given along with the update of the record information.

  On the other hand, if the current number of consecutive wins does not exceed the number of consecutive consecutive wins as record information as a result of the above comparison, the sub CPU 81 does not give any further benefit and does not update the record information. Then, the process proceeds to step S863. That is, in this case, the display is continued without changing the record information displayed in the record information display unit RD20. This allows, for example, the player before starting the game to update the record information as long as the player moves to the chance zone 1 with reference to the record information displayed without being updated to a relatively high value. It can be felt that it is easy to be granted additional benefits.

  That is, Pachislot 1 continuously wins without changing the conditions for transitioning from the normal state to the advantageous state of ART through chance zone 1, that is, the condition that a battle victory is obtained as the final result of chance zone 1. A device has been devised so that a privilege can be additionally provided using record information related to the number of times. Specifically, when the current number of consecutive wins counted for each chance zone 1 exceeds the number of past consecutive wins recorded as record information, an advantageous benefit is given to the player. Become. At this time, the record information is updated to the current number of consecutive wins and displayed again. As a result, by specifying the record information to the player as a condition for awarding a benefit, it is possible to expect to reach the number of consecutive wins, such as updating the record information for each chance zone 1. The operation of the pachislot 1 can be promoted while making it possible to predict the number of medals acquired as a certain expected value.

  In addition, when the battle victory is obtained as a final result in the chance zone 1 just before shifting to ART preparation state, 1 is added to the number of continuous victory counted so far and "current" continuous victory number This means the number of consecutive wins obtained, but may be used to update record information or provide additional benefits using the following number of successive times different from this. In other words, the enemy life point is repeatedly subtracted as an execution result for each game in the chance zone 1, and the damage is continuously applied to the enemy by the enemy attack. You may make it update and grant of a further privilege. According to this, when the current continuous damage deposition frequency exceeds the past continuous damage deposition frequency as record information in the chance zone 1 and the record information is once updated accordingly, it becomes an enemy again in the next game. On the other hand, if damage is given, the record information is updated again, and the privilege is given each time, so that the player can further increase the expectation for the chance zone 1.

  Also, the record information in the record information recording area can be set as a clear or initial value based on a predetermined temporal condition. As a temporal condition of this type, for example, it is assumed that a predetermined time set as the usual closing time of the game arcade is reached, or that a change operation is appropriately performed by a manager of the game arcade or the like. Can. When setting the initial value of the record information, for example, the initial value may be determined by lottery from among predetermined numerical values, and at this time, the initial value of the record information is extracted based on the set value, for example. You may do so.

The present invention can be applied to other gaming machines besides the pachislot 1 as in the embodiment. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to execute a game even in a game program in which the above-mentioned operation in the pachislot 1 is simulated for home game machines. In that case, as a recording medium for recording the game program, a CD-ROM, an FD (flexible disc), or another recording medium can be used.
The present invention is devised such that when a transition condition to an advantageous state is established, a privilege can be additionally provided even if the transition condition is not particularly changed, and the player is given the condition that the privilege is provided. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of promoting the operation of the gaming machine regardless of the expected value also by clearly indicating.
According to the present invention, when a transition condition to an advantageous state is established, a device is provided such that an additional benefit can be provided even if the transition condition is not particularly changed, and the condition in which the benefit is provided It is possible to promote the operation of the gaming machine regardless of the expected value by clearly indicating to the person.
