It has been proposed that it is determined whether or not the value exceeds the upper limit value, and if the output rate exceeds the upper limit value, a predetermined display is performed to notify that the output rate exceeds the upper limit value. In Patent Document 1, the number of medals to be paid out by the main control means and the number of bonuses to be paid out when winning special prizes such as CT (challenge time), SB (single bonus), and RB (regular bonus) are tabulated. Thus, it has been proposed to calculate the ratio of the number of paid-out items (the rate of used items) out of the number of pay-outs, so that the presence or absence of fraud can be determined based on whether or not the rate of the used items satisfies a predetermined value. Furthermore, in Patent Document 1, regarding the case where the gaming machine is a pachinko gaming machine, the main control means gives a total number of winning balls representing the sum of paid-out gaming balls for a predetermined number of shots, and wins a chucker. The ratio of the number of balls for winning a special electric bonus by paying the number of balls for paying a normal electric power by paying for a normal electric tool and the number of balls for paying a special electric power by winning a special electric tool, And the prize winning ball ratio, the total number of winning balls, the number of winning / dispensing balls, the number of ordinary electric bonuses, the number of special electric bonuses, the special electric bonus prize, and the prize winning rate Is displayed on a display device such as a credit display or a liquid crystal display. In addition, the cumulative number of winning and paying balls, the number of ordinary electric goods and balls paid, and the number of special electric and goods balls are calculated to calculate the special electric goods and balls ratio, and the winning and payout ratio. Also displayed are the number of balls, the number of balls for paying out ordinary electric goods, the number of special electric goods paid out balls, the ratio of special electric equipment prize balls, and the ratio of bonus balls for special equipment. And what has made it possible to judge the presence or absence of fraud is proposed depending on whether the prize winning ball ratio satisfies a predetermined value.

(Main control board)
Next, the configuration of the main control board 63 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 6, the main control board 63 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the ROM 67 and various functions realized by controlling the hardware. .

(1) Game control means 100
The game control means 100 of FIG. 6 performs control related to the game of the slot machine 1 and executes a normal game which is a general game and a special game which is a game advantageous to the player over the normal game. As shown in FIG. 5, the operation mode determination unit 100a and the game state setting unit 100b are provided.

a) Operation mode determination means 100a
The operation mode determining means 100a in FIG. 6 determines whether the player has operated the slot machine 1 or whether it has been pressed for a long time. Specifically, the bet switch 15, the maximum bet switch 17, the start switch 19, Various operations on the slot machine 1 by the player, such as modes of operation by the player for various switches such as the middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and modes of operation for inserting medals by the player into the medal slot 25 To determine the mode.

b) Game state setting means 100b
The game state setting means 100b shown in FIG. 6 is a symbol determination means for the result of lottery processing by the role lottery means 103 described later, and the display mode of the symbols of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R displayed on the display window 11. Based on the determination result of 109, the gaming state of the slot machine 1 is set to any one of a plurality of preset gaming states.

  Specifically, in a normal gaming state in which a normal game is executed, a prize is awarded to a predetermined special role (BB, CB) (if “7-7-7” is aligned on the winning line, “BB winning,“ When BAR-BAR-BAR ”is aligned, a CB winning) is set, and the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state of the slot machine 1 to a special gaming state in which a special game is executed. Then, in the special game state, if the predetermined number of medals are paid out or the predetermined number of games (games) are executed, and the special game end condition is satisfied, the special game is ended and the slot machine One gaming state is set to the normal gaming state by the gaming state setting means 100b.

  Further, in the normal gaming state, when a special combination is won but the special combination is not won, that is, each symbol corresponding to the special combination is set to one line in the middle of the display window 11. If the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R do not stop as displayed on the line (center line), the gaming state of the slot machine 1 is the internal winning in which the game is executed during the internal winning. The middle game state is set by the game state setting means 100b. Further, in the internal winning game state, the game state of the slot machine 1 is set to the special game state by the game state setting means 100b by winning a special combination carried over internally without winning.

  Here, an outline of the game in the slot machine 1 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured such that a game is executed when three medals are inserted, and three medals are inserted into the slot machine 1 by the insertion sensor 53, the bet switch 15, or the maximum bet switch 17. When the insertion is detected, the winning line (center line) in the middle stage of the display window 11 becomes valid. Then, when the operation of the start switch 19 is detected on condition that three medals, which are the prescribed number, are inserted, any one of the preset winning lottery results will be described later by the lottery processing using random numbers. 103. Further, all the rotations of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are started, and the symbols of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R displayed on the display window 11 are changed to the left, middle and right reels 13L, The determination is started in accordance with the rotation angles of 13M and 13R.

  Thereafter, the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are accelerated, and the operation of all the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is effectively received. After the operation of all the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is enabled, for example, when it is detected that the left stop switch 21L is operated, the left reel 13L is stopped and the middle stop switch 21M is operated. When it is detected that the middle reel 13M is detected, the right reel 13R is stopped when it is detected that the right stop switch 21R is operated. In this way, the rotation of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R corresponding to the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is stopped by operating the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. To do.

  When all the operations of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are finished, all the rotations of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped. At this time, when the symbol of the predetermined winning combination determined by the combination lottery means 103 stops at a predetermined position on the winning line in the middle stage of the display window 11 that has become valid, a winning is awarded, and the number of medals according to the winning mode Is credited or paid out from the medal payout opening 39, and one game is completed. In addition, instead of paying out medals or along with paying out medals, a predetermined profit may be given to the player.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, as a combination, a special combination (bonus: BB, CB), a small combination (middle bell, single-piece combination 1-12, middle cherries), a replay combination (replays 1-8) Is preset. In the present embodiment, as the result lottery results, it is possible to arrange different combinations (“middle stage bell”, “one piece combination 1” to “one piece combination 12”, “replay 1” to “replay 8”) according to the operation mode. There is a possibility of winning a winning combination (winning group: left bell, middle bell, right bell, replay). Then, the role lottery results of the role lottery means 103 include special role winning (bonus winning), small role winning, re-game winning (replay winning), and loss.

  In addition, the prizes include special prizes (bonus prizes) related to transition to special games (bonus games), small prizes related to medal payouts, and re-game prizes related to execution of replays (replays) ( Replay winning).

  Then, for example, when three symbols for each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are arranged on the winning line in the display modes related to the roles “BB” and “CB” in FIG. A bonus game (special game) is executed.

  In this embodiment, there is no medal payout due to the special role winning (the specified payout number for the special role is 0), and the game is shifted to the bonus game after the game in which the winning mode related to the special role is established. Alternatively, a predetermined payout number (for example, 10) may be set for the special combination, and the bonus game may be started after paying out medals.

  Further, for example, the symbols of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are displayed in the display modes relating to the roles “middle bell”, “single ball 1” to “single ball 12”, and “middle cherry” in FIG. When three are arranged on the winning line in the middle of the display window 11, a small role winning is achieved, and the number of medals shown in the “paid out number” column is paid out.

  Further, in FIG. 7, “any” used as a display mode related to winning of the role “middle stage cherries” may be arranged on the winning line with any symbol provided on the middle reel 13M and the right reel 13R. It means that.

  In addition, in the display mode relating to the roles “Replay 1” to “Replay 8” in FIG. 7, if three symbols of each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are arranged on the winning line, a re-playing role winning is obtained. The game can be played again under the same conditions as the previous game without inserting a new medal.

  By the way, in this embodiment, it is comprised so that a plurality of winning combinations can be won simultaneously by the winning lottery means 103. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, a winning combination group (combination lottery result) composed of a plurality of combinations is formed, and whether or not each winning combination group has been won is drawn by the combination lottery means 103. Among the winning group, the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, “right bell” (hereinafter, the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, “right bell” are collectively referred to as “bell group”) Each of the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell” may be referred to as “specific set winning”) includes a plurality of winning combinations. Specifically, the winning role group “left bell” is composed of “middle bell”, “one piece role 1” to “one piece role 4”, and the winning role group “middle bell” includes “middle bell” and “one”. The winning combination group “right bell” is composed of “middle bell”, “single portion 9” to “single portion 12”.

  Therefore, if the winning lottery means 103 described later determines that the winning group “left bell” has been won, it means that the “middle bell”, “single hand 1” to “single hand 4” are simultaneously won. If it is decided that the winning group “Middle Bell” has been won, it means that “Middle Bell”, “One Piece 5” to “One Piece 8” will be won at the same time. If it is determined that the player has won, it means that “middle bell”, “single piece 9” to “single piece 12” are won simultaneously.

  Further, in this embodiment, the winning combination groups “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell” each have an operation mode (push order) of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R that is advantageous to the player. ) Is set in advance, and as shown in the “Remarks” column of FIG. 8, even if the role lottery result (winning role group) by the role lottery means 103 is the same, the player is left, middle, The stop control means 106 controls to stop the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that the winning mode (display mode) varies depending on the order in which the right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated. It is configured.

  In other words, by winning either of the winning role groups “left bell”, “middle bell”, or “right bell” shown in FIG. Corresponding to the operation order of 21L, 21M, and 21R, the stop control means 106 is configured so that, among the winning combinations, the combinations that preferentially align the symbols related to winning on the winning line are different.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, when the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is won for the winning combination group “left bell”, the left stop switch 21L is first displayed by the operation mode determining means 100a. If it is determined that the operation is performed, the symbol “Bell”, which is the display mode corresponding to the winning combination “middle bell” that is most advantageous to the player, is displayed in a state where the symbols are aligned on the winning line. The left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R are controlled to be stopped by the stop control means 106.

  On the other hand, when the operation mode determination means 100a determines that the left stop switch 21L has not been operated for the first time, the symbol “Bell” corresponding to the winning combination “middle bell” is aligned on the winning line. The symbol is not displayed in the state. That is, when the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in a preset operation order corresponding to the winning combination group (“left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell”). Unless determined by the determining means 100a, the symbol is not displayed in a display mode corresponding to the winning combination that is most advantageous to the players included in the winning combination group.

  By the way, a special game (bonus game) is a game in which the winning probability of a small role is set higher than that in a normal game, and it is easy to receive payout of game medals and is advantageous to the player compared to a normal game. There is a game in which a player can win more medals.

  When the special gaming state “BB” in FIG. 7 is won to enter the special gaming state, a big bonus game is executed. In the big bonus game, the regular bonus game is continuously executed. In the regular bonus game, the lottery table 671 that defines the winning probability of the lottery process by the role lottery means 103 is selected from the normal game lottery table selected in the normal game, and the winning probability of the lottery process by the role lottery means 103 is that of the normal game. By switching to the special game lottery table defined with a higher probability than the case, the winning probability of the small role is set to be higher than in the normal game. As a result, the special game is a game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game. Then, after the transition to the regular bonus game, the regular bonus game is ended when a predetermined number of times, for example, seven games are performed. After the transition to the big bonus game, the big bonus game is terminated when a predetermined number of medals are paid out. That is, in the present embodiment, the big bonus game is set so that when the number of medals paid out in the big bonus game reaches a predetermined upper limit number, the special game (big bonus game) is terminated and the normal game is started. ing.

  Further, when the special game state “CB” in FIG. 7 is won to shift to the special game state, a challenge bonus game is executed. In the challenge bonus game, all roles are selected, and the state in which the drawing-in range of the left reel is smaller than normal continues until the specified number of payouts. Then, after shifting to the challenge bonus game, the challenge bonus game ends when a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  When the result lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is a special role winning (BB, CB), the symbol stop control based on the special role winning is performed. At this time, the symbol arrangement of the special role winning mode is allocated. Otherwise, the game state is shifted to the gaming state during internal winning, and the special winning combination is carried over until the symbol arrangement of the winning mode for the special winning is allocated.

  On the other hand, the small role winning is not carried over to the next game unless the symbol arrangement of the winning combination of the small role is assigned in the game in which the winning combination lottery result is the small role winning. In addition, in the case of replay winning, regardless of the timing of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, the symbol related to any one of “Replay 1” to “Replay 8” is always won. Since the symbols are arranged on the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so as to be aligned on the line, the player is always awarded the re-gamer.

  By the way, in the case of winning one of the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell”, the timing of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M is the same as in the replay pattern. , 21R is operated, left, middle, and so that the symbols (“Bell”, “R1”, “R2”) related to the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, “right bell” are always aligned on the winning line. Since the symbols of the right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are arranged, the player always wins one of “middle stage bell”, “single piece combination 1” to “single piece combination 12”. In other words, if any of the winning group “Left Bell”, “Middle Bell”, or “Right Bell” is elected, if the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, the left / middle / right stop Regardless of the timing at which the switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated, the left, middle, and right reels 13L and 13L, so that the symbols (see FIG. 7) related to the winnings associated with each operation mode are aligned on the winning line. 13M and 13R are controlled to be stopped by the stop control means 106.

  In the present embodiment, an AT game is executed in the AT (assist time) period from the game next to the game that won the “middle cherry”. In AT games, when one of the “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell” is won, the operation mode corresponding to the type of the winning combination group (specific set winning) (any stop switch is operated first) To the player). Then, after shifting to the AT period, the AT period ends when a predetermined number of times, for example, 20 AT games are performed.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control unit 101 in FIG. 6 sets setting values (setting 1 to setting 6). This set value is for selecting a lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102 to be described later, and each of the set values is associated with each of a plurality of lottery tables 671 stored in the ROM 67. ing. Then, the setting control means 101 determines the on / off state of the setting change key switch 50b when the power is turned on, and starts the predetermined setting changing process when the power is turned on with the setting change key switch 50b being on.

  In the present embodiment, the winning probabilities in the normal game lottery are set in a plurality of stages that are distinguished by a plurality of types of setting values (here, six types). A lottery table 671 (normally) Game lottery table). When the setting change process is started, the manager of the pachinko hall where the slot machine 1 is installed can change the setting value.

  The procedure for changing the set value is performed as follows, for example. The administrator opens the front door 5, inserts a setting change key (not shown) into the key cylinder and rotates with the power switch 50a being OFF, and turns on the setting change key switch 50b. In this state, the setting change process is started by turning on the power switch 50a.

  The winning probability setting value is cyclically switched from setting 1 to setting 6 for each operation of the setting change button 50c by the administrator. This set value is notified by being displayed on the set value display 56. When the set value of the winning probability reaches a desired value by operating the setting change button 50c, the set value is determined by operating the start switch 19. Then, when the setting change key inserted in the key cylinder is rotated and the setting change key switch 50b is turned OFF, the setting change process ends. Thereafter, for example, when a medal is inserted from the medal slot 25, the game is started.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection means 102 in FIG. 6 is a type of game controlled by the game control means 100 on the main control board 63 (a normal game, an internal winning game, a special game, etc.), and a setting value set by the setting control means 101 ( One lottery table is selected from a plurality of lottery tables 671 based on setting 1 to setting 6). That is, for example, in a normal game, the table selection means 102 selects a lottery table 671 (normal game lottery table) as a lottery table according to the set value (setting 1 to setting 6) of the winning probability.

(4) Role lottery means 103
The combination lottery means 103 of FIG. 6 selects any one of a plurality of combination lottery results including a specific set winning and a loss set in advance as a combination lottery result in the current game by using a random number and table selection means 102. The lottery table using the lottery table 671 is selected and determined. Here, in each lottery table 671, a correspondence relationship between the random number value and each lottery result is defined. Specifically, for example, each lottery table 671 includes a random number generated by the random number generator 103a described later. Data indicating an area with which each result lottery result is associated in the entire range is stored.

  This role lottery means 103 has a plurality of specific set winnings each consisting of a plurality of roles (a winning group “left bell”, “middle bell” consisting of “middle bell 1”, “single role 1” to “single role 4” The winning group “Right Bell”, consisting of “Middle Bell”, “Middle Bell”, “One Piece 9” to “Twelve Role 12”. ), A plurality of lottery results including a plurality of specific set winnings with different operation modes (which stop switch should be operated first) of the left, middle and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R which are advantageous to the player A lottery is executed as to whether or not any of the above has been won.

a) Random number generation means 103a
The random number generation means 103a in FIG. 6 generates a random number for lottery within a predetermined random value range. The random number generation means 103a can be constituted by, for example, an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts clock signals generated by the oscillation circuit (so-called hard random number). Note that the random number generation means 103a can be configured by, for example, means for generating a random number by an average sampling method, or means for generating a random number by adding prime numbers. These means can be configured, for example, by causing the main CPU 61 to execute a predetermined program (so-called soft random number). Note that both hard random numbers and soft random numbers may be provided, and random numbers may be generated in a software manner based on the results.

b) Random number extraction means 103b
The random number extraction unit 103b shown in FIG. 6 extracts the random value generated by the random number generation unit 103a, and extracts the random value generated by the random number generation unit 103a under a predetermined condition. The random number extraction means 103b extracts a random value used for the lottery process of the combination lottery means 103 in the current game at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated.

  Further, since the random number generation means 103a is configured by a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generation means 103a is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 19 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extraction means 103b can be substantially handled as a random number.

c) Lottery result determining means 103c
The lottery result determination unit 103c in FIG. 6 determines the combination lottery result in the current game based on the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit 103b in the current game and the game state in the current game. The lottery result determination unit 103c refers to the lottery table 671 corresponding to the current gaming state selected by the table selection unit 102, and the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit 103b is defined by the lottery table 671. By determining which of the random value areas corresponding to each combination lottery result belongs to, the combination lottery result in the current game is determined.

(5) Reel detecting means 105
The reel detecting means 105 in FIG. 6 includes detection signals from the left / middle / right position sensors 55L, 55M, 55R and left / middle / right reel motors 14L, 14M for driving the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R. , 14R, and the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected. The reel detection means 105 corresponds to a symbol positioned at a predetermined reference position (for example, the middle stage of the display window 11 in this embodiment) while the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating and stopped. Each frame number is detected.

(6) Stop control means 106
The stop control means 106 in FIG. 6 uses the stop table 672 to stop control each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R based on an operation on each of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. The symbols variably displayed by the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are stopped in a display mode corresponding to the result lottery result of the role lottery means 103. For each game, the stop control means 106 determines the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13R, 21R, 21M, 21R based on the winning lottery result determined by the lottery result determination means 103c and the operation mode of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R Stop control of 13M and 13R is performed.

  In addition, as described in the “Remarks” column of FIG. 8, if the “Bell Group” (the winning group “Left Bell”, “Medium Bell” or “Right Bell”) is won, Depending on the stop switch to be operated, the matching combination is set differently. In addition, depending on the type of “bell group”, an advantageous operation mode varies.

  The stop table 672 for determining the stop positions of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is set with a plurality of tables corresponding to the combination lottery results of the combination lottery means 103, respectively. The stop table 672 has a left / middle / right reel according to the rotational position of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R when the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated. The number of sliding frames of 13L, 13M, and 13R is determined in advance, and the stop operation order of the corresponding left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is set for each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. Correspondingly, the number of sliding frames is different.

  Further, the stop control means 106, if the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is one of the winning combinations, the stop table 672 selected based on the winning lottery result and the left / middle / right stop switch Each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R wins the winning combination from the rotation position of each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R when each of the 21L, 21M, and 21R is operated. The number of sliding frames is determined, and stop control for each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed. On the other hand, if the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is a loss, the stop control means 106 will select the stop table 672 selected based on the lost winning lottery result and the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. Each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R slips from the rotation positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R when they are operated so as not to win any of a plurality of roles. The number of frames is determined and stop control of each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed.

  By the way, there is an upper limit on the number of sliding frames, and the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R corresponding to the timing at which the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R are respectively at predetermined rotational positions are provided. If it is not operated, the stop control means 106, even if the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is winning of any winning combination, the winning mode corresponding to the winning combination is the symbol displayed on the display window 11 The left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R cannot be stopped and controlled so as to be stopped. In other words, the stop control means 106 corresponds to the left / middle / right corresponding to the timing at which the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R are at predetermined rotational positions based on the result lottery result of the role lottery means 103. On the condition that the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated, the left / middle / right reels 13L and 13M are displayed so that the symbols displayed on the display window 11 are stopped and displayed in a winning manner corresponding to the winning combination. , 13R are controlled to stop.

(7) Notification determining means 107
The notification determination means 107 in FIG. 6 determines whether to notify the operation mode of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R which is advantageous to the player. For example, even if the role lottery result is “right bell”, if the player cannot know that fact, the player does not always operate the right stop switch 21R first, and the “middle bell” is displayed. It is not always possible to align. On the other hand, in an AT game, when the result lottery result becomes “right bell”, the fact is notified, and the player is prompted to operate the right stop switch 21R first, thereby increasing the chance that the player receives a payout. It becomes possible.

  Here, when winning a “middle stage cherry” which is a transition to an AT-permitted state in which AT games can be drawn, the notification determining unit 107 determines that notification is to be performed, and further stored in the flag storage unit 651. The state of the flag during the AT period is set to ON. Further, the state of the flag during the AT period stored in the flag storage unit 651 is set to OFF when a predetermined number of AT games are executed. Also, any of the bits forming the flag storage unit 651 is assigned to the flag during the AT period, and the state of the flag during the AT period is stored in the flag storage unit 651 by setting the bit to ON or OFF. can do.

  In the AT game, when one of the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell” is won, an operation mode (operation order) advantageous to the player set in advance in each winning group is set. ) Is notified to the player. In addition, after shifting to the AT period, the AT period ends when a predetermined number of times, for example, 20 AT games are performed.

  Further, as will be described later, the command creation unit 108 creates a command according to the determination result of the notification determination unit 107. The notification determining means 107 uses the command created by the command creating means 108 as a command that can identify the type of specific set winning (a command that can be used to identify an advantageous operation mode), or a command that cannot identify the type of specific set winning (advantageous) It is also functioning as a command for determining whether or not a command whose operation mode is unknown is determined.

(8) Command creation means 108
The command creation means 108 in FIG. 6 includes data relating to the result lottery result in the lottery process by the role lottery means 103, and the operation tools operated by the player such as the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the start switch 19 and the like. A command for transmitting various data such as operation data to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71) is generated. The command generated by the command creating means 108 is transmitted to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71) by the sub control command transmitting means 111 as will be described later.

  The command creation means 108 creates a command including “0” to “8” as a command that can identify the result of the lottery when the lottery by the combination lottery means 103 is executed. As will be described later, the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71) selects an effect to be executed based on the sent command. In other words, the command creation means 108 creates a command that indicates the content of the effect executed in the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71).

  Then, when the notification determination unit 107 determines that the operation mode advantageous to the player is not notified, that is, when the flag during the AT period is set to OFF, the command creation unit 108 determines which of the “bell groups”. A command is created that does not include data indicating the type of the winning combination group (“left bell”, “middle bell”, “right bell”) that can be identified as having won the crab but cannot identify the corresponding winning group. Further, when it is determined by the notification determining means 107 that an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified, that is, when the AT period flag is set to ON, the winning combination group (“left bell” “middle bell” is selected. “Right bell”) is included, and a command that can identify the corresponding winning group is created.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when the flag during the AT period is OFF, the command creation means 108 is selected when any of the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, or “right bell” is won. Even if it exists, the same command “No. 1” is created so that it is not possible to identify which winning group of the “bell group”. On the other hand, the command creation means 108 selects the command “No. 2” when “left bell” is won when the flag during the AT period is ON, and the command “3” when “medium bell” is won. If “Right Bell” is won, “No. 4” command is created.

  Note that the command creation means 108 creates the same command for other role lottery results, regardless of whether the AT period flag is ON or OFF. For example, if you win the “middle cherries” command, the command “No. 5”, if you win “BB”, the command “6”, if you win “CB”, the command “7” When “Replay” is won, a command “No. 8” is created. In case of a loss, a command “No. 0” is created.

(9) Symbol determination means 109
The symbol determination means 109 (corresponding to “winning determination means”) 109 in FIG. 6 is based on the respective rotation positions of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R detected by the reel detection means 105, and the stop control means 106 It is determined whether or not the symbol display mode of each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R that has been controlled to stop is a predetermined display mode.

  The symbol determination means 109 determines that the special combination is won when the symbols are arranged on the winning line in the display modes indicated by the combinations “BB” and “CB” in FIG. When the symbols are arranged on the winning line in the display forms shown in “middle stage bell”, “one piece combination 1” to “one piece combination 12”, and “middle stage cherry” in FIG. When the symbols are arranged on the winning line in the display modes shown in “Replay 1” to “Replay 8” in FIG.

(10) Dispensing control means 110
The payout control unit 110 in FIG. 6 gives a predetermined profit to the player based on the determination result by the symbol determination unit 109. If the symbol determining unit 109 determines that the winning combination is one of a plurality of winning combinations, the payout control unit 110 determines that the number of credit medals stored is an upper limit value (this embodiment). After reaching 50, for example, the hopper unit 43 is operated to pay out medals by the payout number corresponding to the winning combination. Further, the payout control means 110 increases the credit medals by the payout number instead of the operation of the hopper unit 43 as the medal payout until the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit value.

  By the way, when it is determined by the symbol determination means 109 that the payout control means 110 has won the re-gamer, the payout line for the next game is validated as if a predetermined number (three) of medals have been inserted. To do.

(11) Sub-control command transmission unit 111
The sub-control command transmission unit 111 in FIG. 6 uses, as predetermined information, commands including various data created by the command creation unit 108 from the main control board 63 (main CPU 61) to the sub-control board 73 (sub CPU 71). Send by traffic. The sub-control command transmission means 111 is created by the command creation means 108 and set by the setting control means 101, gaming states such as a normal gaming state and a special gaming state, a winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103, A command including data representing the state of the slot machine 1 such as the symbol determination result by the symbol determination means 109, the rotation / stop state of each of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, the medal payout state by the payout control means 110, etc. This is transmitted to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71).

  Further, the sub control command transmission means 111 transmits a command created by the command creation means 108 including data indicating the detection state of the inserted medal by the insertion sensor 53, the operation state of the bet switch 15 and the maximum bet switch 17, and the like. 73 (sub CPU 71). The sub-control command transmission means 111 is created by the command creation means 108 including data indicating that various switches such as the start switch 19 and the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated by the player. To the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71).

(12) Specific event detection means 112
The specific event detection means 112 is for detecting whether or not a specific event has occurred. Specifically, the specific event includes a state in which an abnormal state different from a normal state occurs in the slot machine 1, that is, a so-called error occurrence.

  Specifically, the specific event includes, for example, an inserted medal error, a payout game medal error, a payout failure error, a payout game medal expired error, an RWM error, a reel error, an overflow error, a game medal payout device connection error, which will be described later, Applicable to sensor error. In these specific events (errors), error codes (E0, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, and EA in the above order) are set. The details of these errors will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

(13) Game stop means 113
The game stop means 113 is for stopping the game (error processing) so that the game cannot proceed based on the occurrence of the specific event (error) detected by the specific event detection means 112.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the game information storage means 653 stores the advantageous section ratio in the cumulative game (percentage of the total cumulative advantageous section games in FIG. 9 with respect to the total cumulative total number of games: “advantageous section ratio ( A 1-byte storage area (corresponding to the total cumulative advantageous section ratio in FIG. 9) is formed.

  The size of each storage area is not limited to the above, and can be changed as appropriate.

  In the present embodiment, among the plurality of roles, specific roles having different degrees of advantage to be given to the player by operating the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R (left bell, middle bell, right in FIG. 8). Bell). When the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is the result of the specific combination winning the specific combination, the special game control unit (not shown) of the main CPU 61 performs an AT game (advantageous operation mode corresponding to the specific combination) (Special game that informs the user in an identifiable manner).

  In a game in an AT non-permitted state that does not allow an AT game (a special game non-permitted state that does not allow a special game), if the middle lottery is won as a result of the role lottery by the role lottery unit 103a, a payout display control unit (“state display unit” ”118” corresponds to “AT” permissible state (special game) by performing control for lighting the advantageous section lamp 47 corresponding to the state display means for specifying whether the special game permissible state or the special game non-permissible state is specified. Special game permissible state, which corresponds to “advantageous section”) (special game permissible state display), and the game state setting means 100b sets the game state of the slot machine 1 to the AT permissible state (allows special game). (Special game permissible state) and the initial number of games in the AT period is set. In the lighting control of the advantageous section lamp 47, the payout display control means 118 sets data as to whether or not the advantageous section lamp 47 is lit after paying out medals, and the advantageous section based on the set data. The lamp 47 is lit. Here, after winning the middle cherries and paying out medals, data for lighting the advantageous section lamp 47 is set, and the set data (the advantageous section lamp is lit). The advantageous section lamp 47 is turned on according to the data for). When the number of set games is over, the payout display control means 118 performs control for turning off the advantageous section lamp 47 to display the AT non-permissible state (display of the special game non-permissible state), and the game state setting means. 100b shifts the gaming state of the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permitted state. Whether or not the middle stage cherry is won is determined based on whether or not the game state setting means (corresponding to “allowable state determination means”) 100b sets the special game permissible state in the game in the special game non-permitted state. This corresponds to an example of a process for determining whether or not.

  The period during which the advantageous section lamp 47 is controlled to be lit, that is, the AT allowable state is an advantageous section, and the number of games in the advantageous section is the number of games (games) during which the advantageous section lamp 47 is controlled to be lit. Number). The counting means 114a counts the number of games (the number of games) as the number of advantageous section games on the condition that the control for lighting the advantageous section lamp 47 is performed. It is possible to aggregate information related to the special game permissible state and perform a predetermined calculation using this.

  In the present embodiment, when the middle cherries are won, the AT period of 20 games is all granted, but 0 games (losing) may be given with a predetermined probability. In this case, if the middle stage cherry is won, the process shifts to the AT permissible state, and the payout display control means 118 performs the lighting control of the advantageous section lamp 47 until a predetermined AT permissible state end condition is satisfied. The AT permissible state end condition is, for example, a 1/8 falling lottery in each game except for a so-called rare role winning game such as a middle tier cherry in the AT permissible state. Configure to transition to the state. At this time, when the falling lottery is won, the payout display control means 118 performs the extinction control of the advantageous section lamp 47 that is lit. In addition, until winning the falling lottery, for example, it is determined whether or not to set the AT period by the AT lottery of each game. When this AT lottery is won, the initial number of games in the AT period is determined, and for example, the AT period starts from the next game. In the AT lottery, for example, the winning lottery result is one of the winning combinations 1 to 12. During the AT period, the falling lottery is not performed, and the game in which the AT period has ended is shifted from the AT allowable state to the AT non-permitted state. At this time, the payout display control means 118 controls to turn off the advantageous section lamp 47 that is lit. In this way, AT games may not be performed even in the AT-permitted state, but even in such a case, the number of advantageous-section games as an advantageous period in which an AT period may occur during the AT-permitted state. To reflect. Even when the AT period given by the winning of the AT lottery ends, the AT permissible state may be maintained, and when the same falling lottery is won, the AT non-permissible state may be shifted.

  However, regarding the total number of payouts, the number of payouts of items, and the number of payouts of consecutive items, the storage area for storing the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 has a ring buffer structure, and the first period P1 and the second period P2 , 3rd period P3,..., 14th period P14, 15th period P15, 1st period P1, 2nd period P2,... The ring pointer is updated every 400 games, and the value of the period corresponding to the updated ring pointer is cleared and updated every game. In addition, the cumulative PS and the total cumulative are updated every 400 games with respect to the total payout number, the accessory payout number, and the continuous feature payout number. Furthermore, the total number of games and the number of advantageous section games are updated every game. The total number of games is information that is updated regardless of the determination result of the symbol determination means (winning determination means) 109.

  The advantageous section ratio (cumulative) is calculated for each game. Further, the bonus rate (6000 games), the bonus rate (cumulative), the continuous bonus rate (6000 games), and the continuous bonus rate (cumulative) are calculated every 400 games.

  In addition, the total number of payouts, the number of payouts of consecutive items, the number of payouts of consecutive features, the total number of games, and the number of games of advantageous sections correspond to the total items, and the ratio of advantageous sections (cumulative) and the ratio of consecutive actors (6000 games). , The bonus rate (6000 games), the continuous bonus rate (cumulative), and the bonus rate (cumulative) correspond to the calculation items.

  The total number of games is information that is updated regardless of the determination result of the symbol determination means (winning determination means) 109, and the information is updated by a counting means 114a described later.

  In addition, the accumulated PS and the total accumulated payout number, the bonus payout number, and the continuous bonus payout number are information that is totaled according to the establishment of a predetermined condition (every 400 games in this embodiment). The total payout number, the payout number and the continuous payout number of each period from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 are counted even if a predetermined condition is not satisfied (in this embodiment, every game). The total accumulated total number of games and the total accumulated advantageous section number of games are information that is totaled even if a predetermined condition is not satisfied (in this embodiment, every game). In this embodiment, the predetermined condition is satisfied every 400 games, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  The advantageous section ratio (cumulative), continuous character ratio (6000 games), character ratio (6000 games), continuous character ratio (cumulative), and character ratio (cumulative) are calculation items as described above. , Displayed on the ratio display (corresponding to “display means”) 69 in a predetermined order. In this embodiment, the predetermined order is as follows: the first is an advantageous section ratio (cumulative), the second is a continuous character ratio (6000 games), the third is a character ratio (6000 games), and the fourth is a continuous character ratio. The property ratio (cumulative) and the fifth are the property ratio (cumulative).

  The continuous character ratio (6000 games), the character ratio (6000 games), the continuous character ratio (cumulative), and the character ratio (cumulative) are determined when a predetermined condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, every 400 games). (B) is a calculated item, and the advantageous section ratio (cumulative) is a calculated item even if a predetermined condition is not satisfied (in this embodiment, every game). Then, when a predetermined condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, every 400 games), an advantageous section ratio (cumulative), a continuous character ratio (6000 games), a character ratio (6000 games), a continuous character ratio ( The total number) and the accessory ratio (total) are a specific order related to the predetermined order displayed on the ratio display 69 (in this embodiment, the reverse of the predetermined order displayed on the ratio display 69).

The initial value of the stored value of the game number counter 652 is set to the set game number M (= 400), and the stored value of the game number counter 652 is set to 1 after the game is over and before the start of the next game. You may make it count the number of games by decrementing one by one.

  Moreover, the totaling means 114a totalizes the memory content of the game information storage means 653 shown in FIG. In this specification, claims, drawings, etc., “aggregation” means “summing up numbers and summing up”, “accumulating numbers”, and “summing up numbers so far. Or adding a new value to the accumulated value or the value accumulated so far ”.

  Specifically, the counting means 114a is necessary for each game, the value of the total payout number, the payout number, and the continuous payout number of the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15. The total number of payouts, the number of feature payouts, and the number of consecutive feature payouts are updated by adding the number of winning prizes according to. In addition, the totaling unit 114a updates the value of the total number of games for each game and the total cumulative number by 1 and updates the value of the total cumulative advantageous section number of games by 1 as necessary.

  Further, the counting means 114a calculates the accumulated total number of payouts from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 every 400 games, stores the accumulated value in the total payout number of the accumulated PS, and starts from the first period P1. Accumulate the number of feature payouts up to the 15th period P15, store the accumulated value in the accumulated PS feature payout number, and calculate the cumulative number of consecutive feature payouts from the 1st period P1 to the 15th period P15 Then, the cumulative value is stored in the continuous PS payout number of the cumulative PS. Further, the totaling means 114a adds the total number of payouts in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 to the total number of total payouts for every 400 games. The total number of feature payouts is updated by adding the number of feature payouts in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 to the total cumulative feature payout number. The total number of consecutive feature payouts is updated by adding the number of consecutive feature payouts in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 to the total number of consecutive feature payouts.

  The counting unit 114a updates the stored content of the game information storage unit 653, which is performed every 400 games when the number of games after the previous update of the ring pointer reaches 400, updates the ring pointer, and performs the first period The values of the total payout number, the bonus payout number, and the continuous payout number for the period corresponding to the updated ring pointer from P1 to the 15th period P15 are cleared to zero. The ring pointer is updated in the first period P1, the second period P2, the third period P3,..., The fourteenth period P14, the fifteenth period P15, the first period P1, the second period P2,. The first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 are repeated in order.

b) Calculation means 114b
The computing means 114b in FIG. 6 calculates the advantageous section ratio (cumulative) for each game based on the stored contents in FIG. 9, and the continuous character ratio (6000 games), the character ratio (6000 games), and the continuous character ratio. The (cumulative) and the ratio of the actors (cumulative) are calculated every 400 games.

  In calculating the advantageous section ratio (cumulative), the ratio (percentage) (%) of the total cumulative advantageous section number of games to the total cumulative number of games is calculated. Further, in the calculation of the continuous character ratio (6000 games), the ratio (percentage) (%) of the cumulative PS continuous character payout number to the total PS payout number of the cumulative PS is calculated, and the character ratio (6000 game) is calculated. In the calculation, the ratio (percentage) (%) of the total PS payout number of the cumulative PS to the total payout number of the cumulative PS is calculated. Furthermore, in the calculation of the continuous feature ratio (cumulative), the ratio (percentage) (%) of the total cumulative number of consecutive feature payouts to the total payout number of total cumulative is calculated. Then, the ratio (percentage) (%) of the total cumulative number of paid-out items is calculated.

(18) Display control means 115
6 performs display control for performing display based on FIGS. 11 and 12 and display control for performing display based on FIG. 13 on a ratio indicator (role monitor) 69.

  First, a correspondence relationship between a plurality of lightable portions of a 7-segment display and 1-byte (8-bit) display data will be described with reference to FIG.

  The 7-segment display has 8 lighting points A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP, and 8 lighting points A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP Corresponds to the 0th bit, the 1st bit, the 2nd bit, the 3rd bit, the 4th bit, the 5th bit, the 6th bit, and the 7th bit of the display data of 1 byte (8 bits). When the value is 0, the light is turned off. When the value is 1, the light is turned on. For the bits, the least significant bit is described as the 0th bit, and for the byte, the least significant byte is described as the first byte.

  For example, when the value of 1 byte is $ FF (hexadecimal notation), that is, 11111111 (binary notation), all of the lighting possible locations A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP are Light. In addition, when the value of 1 byte is $ 40 (hexadecimal notation), that is, 01000000 (binary notation), it is possible to turn on among the lighting possible locations A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP. Only the point G lights up.

  Next, the display contents of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 will be described with reference to FIG. However, the display content of the 7-segment display column in FIG. 11 is a specific display example of the ratio indicator 69, and the percentage (%) is 50 (%).

  On the ratio display 69, display items include (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative), (2) continuous character ratio (6000 games), (3) character ratio (6000 games), and (4) continuous characters. There are a ratio (cumulative) and (5) an accessory ratio (cumulative), which are displayed according to the display method shown in FIG. However, the ratio display numbers in FIG. 11 indicate the display order. The display mode according to the display method of FIG. 11 corresponds to the first lighting mode (normal display mode), and the display control corresponds to normal control.

  Specifically, in (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative), the abbreviation “7A” indicating “advantageous section ratio (cumulative)” in the upper two digits (thousands and hundreds) of the ratio indicator 69 Is displayed, and the number of advantageous section games in the cumulative game since the installation in the lower two digits (tenth place and first place) segment of the ratio display 69 and after the RWM clear (total cumulative number of advantageous section games in FIG. 9) The lower two digits of the ratio (percentage) (%) to the total number of games in the total number of games (total number of total games in FIG. 9) are displayed.

  In addition, in the (2) continuous character ratio (6000 games), the abbreviation “6b” indicating “continuous character ratio (6000 games)” in the upper two digits (thousands and hundreds) segments of the ratio display 69. ”Is displayed, and the last two digits (tenth place and first place) of the ratio display 69 indicate the number of consecutive feature payouts in the last 6000 games (the number of consecutive feature payouts in the cumulative PS in FIG. 9). The lower two digits of the ratio (percentage) (%) to the total payout number (total payout number of cumulative PS in FIG. 9) in the 6000 game are displayed.

  Furthermore, (3) in the ratio of an accessory (6000 games), the abbreviation “7b” indicating “the ratio of an accessory (6000 games)” is displayed in the upper two digits (thousands and hundreds) segments of the ratio display 69. The total number of items paid out in the last 6000 game (the number of items paid out in the cumulative PS in FIG. 9) in the last two 6000 games is displayed in the lower two digits (tenth place and first place) of the ratio display 69. The lower two digits of the ratio (percentage) (%) to the payout number (total payout number of accumulated PS in FIG. 9) are displayed.

  Furthermore, in the (4) continuous character ratio (cumulative), the abbreviation “6c” indicating “continuous character ratio (cumulative)” is displayed in the upper two digits (thousands and hundreds) of the ratio indicator 69. Displayed in the lower two digits (tenth place and first place) of the ratio display 69, or the number of consecutive feature payouts in the cumulative game since the RWM clear (total number of consecutive feature payouts in FIG. 9) ), The lower two digits of the ratio (percentage) (%) with respect to the total payout number (total total payout number in FIG. 9) in the cumulative game after installation or after RWM clear.

  In addition, in (5) the ratio of totaled items (cumulative), the abbreviation “7c” is displayed in the upper two digits (thousands and hundreds) segments of the ratio indicator 69. , Installation of the number of bonuses to be paid in the cumulative game since the installation in the lower two digits (tenth place and first place) of the ratio display 69 or after the RWM clear Thereafter, the lower two digits of the ratio (percentage) (%) to the total payout number (total payout number in FIG. 9) in the cumulative game after the RWM clear are displayed.

  However, when the percentage is 100 (%), it cannot be displayed in the lower two digits (tenth place and first place) segment of the ratio display 69, so in this embodiment, the lower order of the ratio display 69 is displayed. 99 (%) is displayed in a two-digit segment (tenth place and first place).

  However, (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative), (2) continuous character ratio (6000 games), (3) character ratio (6000 games), (4) continuous character ratio (cumulative), (5) character In the physical ratio (cumulative), as shown in the 7-segment display column of FIG. 11, the hundreds of places that can be lit are turned on, but the thousandth, tenth, and first place respectively. The litable portion DP is not lit. By turning on the hundreds of possible lighting points DP, it is easy to grasp the boundary between the identification segment and the ratio segment.

  These (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative), (2) continuous character ratio (6000 games), (3) character ratio (6000 games), (4) continuous character ratio (cumulative), (5) character The object ratio (cumulative) is displayed in a predetermined order. Specifically, (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative total) is displayed for a certain period. Subsequently, (2) the continuous character ratio (6000 games) is displayed for a certain period, and then (3) the character ratio (6000 games) is displayed for a certain period. Subsequently, (4) the continuous feature ratio (cumulative) is displayed for a certain period, and then (5) the accessory ratio (cumulative) is displayed for a certain period.

  Then, these displays (1) to (5) are sequentially repeated at regular intervals. At this time, for example, when the game has not reached 6000 games, the upper two-digit segments are blinked in (2) and (3). For example, when the game does not reach 175000 games, the upper two-digit segments are blinked in (1), (4), and (5). Further, in (1) to (5), the advantageous section ratio (cumulative), the continuous character ratio (6000 games), the character ratio (6000 games), the continuous character ratio (cumulative), and the character ratio (cumulative), respectively. If the value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the lower two-digit segment is displayed blinking.

  However, when the power is turned off and the power is turned on again, the display is performed from (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative total) regardless of the display item when the power is turned off. For example, when the power is turned off while the (3) character ratio (6000 games) is displayed, the (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative) is displayed when the power is turned on again.

  Note that the abbreviations are examples, and are not limited to those illustrated in FIG. 11, and may be different from each other between display items.

  Subsequently, the display contents of the advantageous section ratio (cumulative total) of the ratio indicator (role ratio monitor) 69 in a model having no advantageous section will be described with reference to FIG. However, the display content of the 7-segment display column in FIG. 12 is a specific display example of the advantageous section ratio (cumulative total) in a model having no advantageous section.

  As shown in the 7-segment display column of FIG. 12, the abbreviation “7A” indicating “advantageous section ratio (cumulative)” is displayed in the upper two digits (thousands and hundreds) segments of the ratio display 69, “-” (Only the lightable portion G is lit) is displayed in the lower two digits (tenth place and first place) of the ratio display 69. However, as in the case of (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative) in FIG. 11, the hundreds of possible lighting points DP are also lit in the case of (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative) in FIG. However, the lighting positions DP of the thousandth place, the tenth place, and the first place are not turned on. The display mode according to the display method in FIG. 12 corresponds to the first lighting mode (normal display mode), and the display control corresponds to normal control.

  Finally, the display content of the ratio display (role monitor) 69 when an RWM error occurs will be described with reference to FIG. However, the display content of the 7-segment display column in FIG. 13 is a specific display example of the ratio display 69 when an RWM error occurs.

  As shown in the 7-segment display column of FIG. 13, when an RWM error occurs, all of the lighting-enabled locations A and B are displayed in the thousandth, hundredth, tenth, and first place of the ratio display 69. , C, D, E, F, G, DP are lit. The display mode according to the display method in FIG. 13 corresponds to the second lighting mode (special display mode), and the display control corresponds to special control.

  Comparing the display contents of the 7-segment display column of FIG. 13 with the display contents of the 7-segment display column of FIG. 11 or FIG. 12, in the special control when the RWM error occurs in FIG. In the ratio display 69 which is not lit in the normal control, all of the lit, DP, and lit-up places DP are turned on. As a result, it is possible to easily recognize that an RWM error has occurred on the display of the ratio indicator 69.

(19) Credit display control means 116
The credit display control means 116 in FIG. 6 performs display control for displaying the number of stored medals on the credit display 45.

(20) Cancel control means 117
The cancel control means 117 in FIG. 6 does not drive the cancel coil using the electromagnet, for example, when the stored number of medals reaches the maximum stored number or during the game, and therefore the rail portion of the medal selector 48 does not operate. The medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 25 are discharged to the medal payout opening 39 regardless of whether they are regular or irregular. In cases other than the above, a cancel coil using an electromagnet is driven to operate the rail portion of the medal selector 48, thereby selecting whether or not the medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 25 is genuine. Only regular medals are guided to the hopper unit 43.

(21) Dispensing display control means 118
The payout display control means 118 of FIG. 6 can specify on the payout display 46 (1) a payout number display control for displaying the payout number via the payout control means 110, and (2) a specific event (error) type. The error code display control for displaying special information (error code), which is a special information, is switched. Further, the payout display control means 118 displays that the advantageous section state is indicated by lighting of the tens place, the first place, or both of the dots (corresponding to the litable portion DP) of the payout display 46, and the tens place. Display control is performed to display that there is no advantageous section state by turning off the first dot and the first dot.

  Here, the game stop means 113 does not stop the game (error processing) until a stop operation is performed on the final reel (the reel that is finally stopped among the left, middle, and right reels 113L, 113M, and 113R). The game is stopped (error processing) at a predetermined timing after the stop operation on the final reel is performed (specifically, after the occurrence of slip after the stop operation on the final reel and after the four-phase excitation by the stepping motor). I do. At the same time, the payout display control means 118 performs display control for displaying special information (error code) on the payout display 46.

  That is, the game stop means 113 does not stop the game (error processing) until a stop operation is performed on the reel (final reel) that is finally stopped among the left, middle, and right reels 113L, 113M, and 113R. Then, the game stop means 113 performs a game stop (error process) at a predetermined timing after the stop operation for the final reel is performed, and the payout display control means 118 sends special information (error code) to the payout display 46. Display control to display. However, this does not apply to E5 errors.

  In addition, when an error has occurred, the game stop means 113 operates by operating a reset switch (not shown in particular, but the setting change button 50c of the operation box 50 is also used as a reset switch). A release condition for releasing the game stop (error processing) is established. In this case, the game stop means 113 cancels the game stop by the game stop means 113 and makes the progress of the game possible. Further, the payout display control means 118 stops the display of the special information (error code display) that has been performed on the payout display 46. However, in the case of an RWM error (E4 error), the RWM error (E4 error) is canceled by changing the setting.

  Here, the display contents of the payout display 46 related to the error will be described with reference to FIG.

  The error contents displayed on the payout display 46 include “game medal error”, “payout game medal error”, “payout failure error”, “payout game medal outage error”, “RWM error”, “reel error”, “ There are “overflow error”, “game medal payout device connection error”, and “sensor error”.

  The game medal error (error code E0) is a situation in which a medal stays or passes through the insertion sensor 53 of the medal selector 48 in an abnormal state, and is displayed in a 7-segment display (payout display). The display contents in the column of “vessel” are displayed on the payout display 46. In addition, the payout game medal error (error code E1) is a medal clogging at the payout exit of the hopper unit 43, and the display content in the 7-segment display (payout display) column is the payout display 46. Is displayed. Further, the payout failure error (error code E2) is one in which the payout sensor 54 is in an ON state except when a medal is paid out, and the display content in the 7-segment display (payout indicator) column is the payout indicator 46. Is displayed. The payout game medal out error (error code E3) indicates that a medal in the hopper unit 43 is empty, that is, a so-called hopper empty state has occurred, and is displayed in the 7-segment display (payout indicator) column. The contents are displayed on the payout display 46.

  The RWM error (error code E4) is caused by a backup failure or the like of the RWM ((Read Write Memory) read / write memory, also referred to as RAM (Random Access Memory) occasional write / read memory). The display contents of the segment display (payout display) column are displayed on the payout display 46.

  The reel error (error code E5) is a rotation position (reel) position detection error (position detection error by the left / middle / right position sensors 55L, 55M, 55R), and the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Detection of the positions of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R due to a power failure during the stop process of the reels, a failure of the reel unit during the stop process of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R, etc. An error has occurred, and the display content in the 7-segment display (payout display) column is displayed on the payout display 46. An overflow error (error code E6) is a state in which the auxiliary tank provided beside the hopper unit 43 is full of medals, and the contents displayed in the 7-segment display (payout indicator) column are paid out. It is displayed on the display 46. Further, the game medal payout device connection error (error code E7) occurs when the payout sensor 54 of the hopper unit 43 is defective and the hopper unit 43 is out of the normal position. Yes, the display contents in the 7-segment display (payout display) column are displayed on the payout display 46. Further, the sensor error (error code EA) is a state where an abnormal passage of medals occurs, and when the insertion sensor 53 for detecting insertion of medals detects the passage of medals in a state where medals cannot be inserted. The display contents in the 7-segment display (payout display) column are displayed on the payout display 46.

  Among these errors, in the game medal error (error code E0), the payout failure error (error code E2), the reel error (error code E5), and the sensor error (error code EA), the left, middle and right reels 13L, This is a detectable error even when at least one of 13M and 13R is rotating.

(Sub control board)
Next, the configuration of the sub control board 73 will be described in detail. The sub control board 73 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63 and performs effects according to the operation and state of the main control board 63. As shown in FIG. 6, the sub control board 73 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the memory 75 and various functions realized by controlling hardware. Yes.

(1) Sub-control command receiving means 201
The sub-control command receiving unit 201 in FIG. 6 receives a command including various data transmitted by the sub-control command transmitting unit 111 of the main control board 63 (main CPU 61) as predetermined information. The sub-control command receiving unit 201 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63 and, when receiving the command, notifies each function provided in the sub-control board 73 according to the type of the command.

(2) Production content determination means 202
The effect content determining means 202 in FIG. 6 is for determining the contents of the effect in accordance with the command received by the sub control command receiving means 201. Specifically, a moving image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 is determined from an effect pattern set in advance corresponding to the progress of the game, the result of the role lottery means 103, or the like from the speakers 31L and 31R. An effect such as determining the music and sound to be played, and flashing the light sources of the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp units 37L and 37R all at once or individually is determined.

  If the received command corresponds to the command during the AT period and the type of the winning combination group (bell group) that has been won can be identified, the production content determination unit 202 can identify the player corresponding to the type of the winning group. The contents of the effect are determined so that an effect that does not know the operation mode advantageous to the player is executed unless the received command corresponds to the command during the AT period. For example, if the “No. 1” command shown in FIG. 8 is received according to the result of lottery, it is not during the AT period, so it is understood that one of the winning groups of “Bell Group” has been won. Select one production from a group of productions that do not know whether "Left bell", "Middle bell", or "Right bell" was won. In addition, when the “No. 2” command shown in FIG. 8 is received, one effect can be selected from the effects that indicate that “left bell” has been won or the effect that prompts the user to operate the left stop switch 21L first. Select. When the “No. 3” and “No. 4” commands shown in FIG. 8 are received, the effect contents are determined in the same manner.

  In addition, when the contents-deciding means 202 receives the commands “No. 5” to “No. 8” shown in FIG. 8, similarly, the contents are determined from the stage group that suggests the possibility of winning each winning role group. Select the production. Further, when the “0” command is received, similarly, one effect is selected from the effect group corresponding to the loss so as not to impair the player's expectation.

  As the effect contents, for example, the effect content determining means 202 displays the operation order of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R on the liquid crystal display 27, or the left / middle / right stops by the speakers 31L and 31R. The operation order of each of the switches 21L, 21M, 21R is notified by voice, or the operation order of each of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is made by blinking the lamps provided in each of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in a predetermined order. And the backlights provided on the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R blink in a predetermined order to notify the operation order of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. There are production contents such as.

  Then, the effect content determination unit 202 transmits a signal including data regarding the determined effect content to the effect display control unit 203 and the audio control unit 204 described below.

(3) Effect display control means 203
The effect display control means 203 in FIG. 6 displays a moving image on the liquid crystal display 27 based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination means 202, the upper lamp portion 33, the lower lamp portions 37L and 37R, and the like. Performing effects such as flashing the light sources simultaneously or individually.

(4) Voice control means 204
The voice control unit 204 in FIG. 6 performs effects such as playing music from the speakers 31L and 31R and outputting sound based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination unit 202.

(Operation)
Next, the operation of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, when the “bell group” (any one of “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell”) is won during the AT period (the flag during the AT period is ON), An effect of notifying the operation order of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R corresponding to the role group is executed on the sub-control board 73, and each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R advantageous to the player is executed. The operation order is notified.

  In the following description, the various functions and means described above, and other functions realized by executing various programs by the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63 and the sub CPU 71 of the sub control board 73 (detailed explanation is omitted). This is a process executed by. In addition, since various processes executed in the following process are set to ON (ON) or OFF (OFF), and the process of setting values to various flags is a well-known technique, its details The detailed explanation is omitted.

1. Processing at power-on The processing at power-on will be described with reference to FIG. However, the power-on process is a process executed by the main CPU 61.

  15 is a process executed when the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on. When the power switch 50a of the slot machine 1 is turned on, whether or not the power interruption signal is turned on. Is determined (step S1). If the power interruption signal is determined to be ON (YES in step S1), the process waits as it is, and if the power interruption signal is determined to be OFF (NO in step S1). ), The RWM 65 can be accessed (step S2). Then, an RWM backup failure determination process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 16, is performed (step S3). Subsequently, a power-on initial setting process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 17, is performed (step S4).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the door sensor 58 is in an ON state (the front door 5 is in a closed state) (step S5). And when it determines with the door sensor 58 being an ON state (front door 5 is a closed state) (YES of step S5), it progresses to step S8.

  If it is determined in step S5 that the door sensor 58 is not in the ON state (front door 5 is closed), that is, the front door 5 is in the open state (NO in step S5), the setting change key switch 50b is operated. It is then determined whether or not it is in the ON state (step S6). If it is determined that the setting change key switch 50b is not in the ON state (NO in step S6), the process proceeds to step S8. On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting change key switch 50b is in the ON state (YES in step S6), a setting change process described in detail later with reference to FIG. 19 is performed (step S7). As described above, the slot machine 1 does not proceed to the setting change process in step S7 unless the front door 5 is in the open state and the setting change key switch 50b is in the ON state in order to improve safety as a countermeasure against fraud. It is like that.

  In step S8, it is determined whether or not the result of the RWM backup failure determination process in step S3 is defective. This determination process is determined to be an RWM backup failure when an RWM backup failure is set in step S37 of FIG.

  When it is determined that the RWM backup state is bad (YES in step S8), error processing (specifically, an E4 error) described later in detail with reference to FIG. 20 is performed (step S9). ). Then, the power-on process ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the backup state of the RWM is not defective (NO in step S8), it is determined whether any of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R is rotating (step). S10). If it is determined that none of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (NO in step S10), the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, when it is determined that any of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (YES in step S10), the restart state of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is set. (Step S11), the process proceeds to Step S12. Specifically, a process of returning the rotating reel among the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R to the state before power interruption is performed. When the power is turned on, settings are made so that the current state of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R can be restored.

  In step S12, a sensor error determination process (EA error) described later in detail with reference to FIG. 18 is performed. Then, the power-on process ends.

1.1. RWM Backup Failure Judgment Processing The RWM backup failure judgment processing (step S3) in FIG. 15 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines a checksum value (step S31). This is to determine whether or not it matches the checksum value held at the time of power interruption. If they do not match, it is determined that the backup is defective. The checksum value is obtained by regarding the data stored in the predetermined area of the RWM value as a string of integer values, calculating the sum, and using the remainder obtained by dividing by a predetermined constant as the data for inspection.

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines the power interruption flag (step S32). This is a predetermined numerical value stored at the time of power interruption, and if it is other than this predetermined numerical value, it is determined that the power interruption is abnormal.

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines the stack pointer (step S33). Determines the range of the stack pointer at the time of power interruption, holds the address of the position most recently referenced, and if this address is outside the predetermined address range, an abnormal state Is determined.

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines the set value (step S34). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the set value is within a range of 1 to 6. When it is out of the range, it is determined as an abnormal state.

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines the upper rank of the internal winning information (step S35). This is to determine whether or not the bonus information of the winning information (lottery information) in the role lottery is within a predetermined upper data range. When the bonus information of the winning information (lottery information) in the role lottery is outside the range of the upper data set in advance, it is determined as an abnormal state.

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines whether or not the RWM backup is defective (step S36). Based on the determination results from step S31 to step S35, it is determined whether or not the state is abnormal, that is, whether or not the state is defective. If it is determined that the state is not defective (NO in step S36), the process returns to the power-on process in FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the state is defective (YES in step S36), the specific event detection unit 112 sets an RWM backup failure (step S37). And the specific event detection means 112 clears all the contents of RWM65 regarding the ratio indicator (role ratio monitor) 69 (step S38). Here, the contents to be cleared are, for example, the total payout number, the payout number, and the continuous payout number of each of the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15, the cumulative PS, and the total cumulative in FIG. Also, the total number of total games and the number of advantageous section games, respectively, the cumulative PS of FIG. 9, and the total feature number and the continuous feature ratio. Also, the total cumulative feature ratio, continuous feature ratio, and advantageous section ratio in FIG. In addition, the display data is set in the thousandth, hundredth, tenth, and first place display data of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69. Furthermore, a 6000 reaching flag, a total game number upper limit flag, and a total payout upper limit flag, which will be described later. Then, the processing returns to the power-on processing procedure in FIG.

1.3. Power-on Initial Setting Process The power-on initial setting process (step S4) in FIG. 15 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The display control means 115 clears the ratio display number and sets the value to 0 (step S51). Thereby, when the power is turned on, (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative total) which is a display item corresponding to the ratio display number 0 is displayed on the ratio display (role monitor) 69.

  Subsequently, the display control means 115 clears the ratio blink flag and sets the value to 0 (step S52). As a result, when the display content of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 is displayed in a blinking manner, the display starts when the power is turned on.

  Subsequently, the display control means 115 sets a display switching timer (step S53). When a value corresponding to, for example, 5 seconds is set in the display switching timer, the display items (1) to (5) (see FIG. 11) displayed on the ratio display 69 are switched every 5 seconds. .

  Subsequently, the display control means 115 sets a ratio blink timer (step S54). When a value corresponding to, for example, 0.3 seconds is set in the ratio blink timer, lighting and extinguishing are switched every 0.3 seconds. Then, the processing returns to the power-on processing procedure in FIG.

1.3. Sensor Error Determination Processing The sensor error determination processing (step S12) in FIG. 15 will be described using FIG.

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines whether the selector sensor A or B is in an ON state (step S71). If it is determined that neither of the selector sensors A and B is in the ON state (NO in step S71), the process returns to the power-on process in FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the selector sensor A or B is in the ON state (YES in step S71), a sensor error (EA error) flag is set as an error determination flag (step S72). This error determination flag is a so-called reservation flag (hold flag) for determining whether or not to perform error notification by the sub CPU 71 for holding the shift to error processing. Based on this error determination flag, a “payout abnormality” of a transmission command to be described later is transmitted to the sub CPU 71. Then, the processing returns to the power-on processing procedure in FIG.

1.4. Setting Change Process The setting change process (step S7) in FIG. 15 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The setting control unit 101 determines whether or not the RWM backup failure of the main CPU 61 is set (step S101). This determination process is to determine that an RWM backup failure is set when an RWM backup failure is set in step S37 of FIG.

  If it is determined that no backup failure is set (NO in step S101), the setting control unit 101 reads the set value information (step S102), and the process proceeds to step S106.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the backup failure is set (YES in step S101), the payout display control means 118 performs display control for displaying “C” on the set value display 56 (step S103). Then, the setting control means 101 determines whether or not the setting change button 50c is turned on (step S104). When it is determined that the setting change button 50c is not turned on (NO in step S104), the standby state is set. On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting change button 50c is in the on state (YES in step S104), the setting control unit 101 sets the setting value 1 (step S105), and the process proceeds to step S106.

  In step S106, the setting control unit 101 determines whether or not the setting change button 50c is turned on. When it is determined that the setting change button 50c is in the on state (YES in step S106), the setting control unit 101 updates the setting value (step S107) and returns to step S106.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting change button 50b is not in the ON state (NO in step S106), the setting control unit 101 determines whether an operation of the start lever (start switch 19) is detected (step S106). S108). If it is determined that the operation of the start lever (start switch 19) has not been detected (NO in step S108), the process returns to step S106. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation of the start lever (start switch 19) has been detected (YES in step S108), the setting control means 101 determines whether or not the setting change key switch 50b is in an off state (step S109). ). When it is determined that the setting change key switch 50b is not in the OFF state (NO in step S109), the standby state is set. On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting change key switch 50b is in the OFF state (YES in step S109), the setting control unit 101 confirms the setting value (step S110), and the setting change process ends.

1.5. Error Processing FIG. 15 error processing (step S9) will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the error processing of FIG. 20 is also performed in the error processing of FIG. 22 (step S233), the error processing of FIG. 23 (step S254), the error processing of FIG. 29 (step S411), and the error processing of FIG. 30 (step S441) described later. Is done.

  The game stop means 113 stores the current game state (step S131). Then, the game stop means 113 sets an error flag corresponding to the error state (error state) that has occurred and transmits it to the sub CPU 71 (step S132). Specifically, it is transmitted from the sub control command transmission means 111 of the main CPU 61 to the sub control command reception means 201 of the sub CPU 71.

  The game stop means 113 stores the contents of the payout display 46 (step S133). The payout display control means 118 performs display control for displaying an error code on the payout display 46 (step S134).

  The game stop means 113 stores the state of the hopper unit 43 and the cancel coil (medal selector 48) (step S135), and turns off the settings of the hopper unit 43 and the cancel coil (medal selector 48) (step S136).

  The game stop means 113 determines whether or not it is in an E4 error state (step S137). If it is determined that an E4 error has occurred (YES in step S137), the process waits until the setting is changed (step S138).

  When it is determined in the determination process of step S137 that the state is not the E4 error state (NO in step S137), the game stop means 113 determines whether or not the state is the E3 error state (step S139). If it is determined that the state is not an E3 error state (NO in step S139), the process proceeds to step S141. On the other hand, when it is determined that the state is the E3 error state (YES in step S139), the game stop means 113 determines whether or not the error release sensor is in the on state (step S140). Since this step S140 results in an E3 error (hopper empty error), the error canceling sensor here is a door key reset. This door key reset is established by turning a key (door key) for opening the front door 5 in a direction opposite to the unlocking direction of the front door 5. If it is determined that the error release sensor is in the ON state (YES in step S140), the process proceeds to step S143. On the other hand, when it is determined that the error release sensor is not in the ON state (NO in step S140), the process proceeds to step S141.

  In step S141, the game stop means 113 determines whether or not the setting change button 50c is on. Here, the setting change button 50c serves as a reset switch. If it is determined that the setting change button 50c is not on (NO in step S141), the process returns to step S137.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting change button 50c is in the on state (YES in step S141), the game stop means 113 determines whether or not the door sensor 58 is in the on state (step S142). If it is determined that the door sensor 58 is in the on state (YES in step S142), the process returns to step S137. If it is determined that the door sensor 58 is not in the on state (NO in step S142), the process proceeds to step S143.

  In step S143, the game stop means 113 determines whether any of the selector sensors A, B, C and the payout sensors A, B is in an on state. When it is determined that any one of the selector sensors A, B, C and the payout sensors A, B is ON (YES in step S143), the process returns to step S137, and the selector sensors A, B, C, the payout sensor A, When it is determined that none of B is in the ON state (NO in step S143), the process proceeds to step S144.

  In step S144, the game stop means 113 returns the state of the hopper unit 43 and the cancel coil (medal selector 48) to the original state (step S144). Then, the payout display control means 118 clears (initializes) the error code display (step S145). Further, the game stop means 113 restores the contents of the payout display 46 (step S146) and restores the gaming state (step S147).

  The main CPU 61 transmits an error cancellation event (signal) to the sub CPU 71 (step S148), and determines whether to send a medal payout start event (signal) of the sub CPU 71 (step S149). Then, error processing ends.

2. Main Process The main process will be described with reference to FIG. However, the main process is a process executed by the main CPU 61.

  First, an overflow error determination process (E6 error), which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 22, is performed (step S201). Specifically, this overflow error is detected by the overflow sensor 57a because the auxiliary tank arranged adjacent to the hopper unit 43 is full of medals.

  It is determined whether or not a prescribed number (three in this embodiment) of medals has been inserted (step S202), and waits until it is determined that a prescribed number of medals have been inserted (NO in step S202). On the other hand, if it is determined that a prescribed number of medals have been inserted (YES in step S202), it is determined whether or not the start switch 19 has been operated (step S203). Wait until it is determined that the start switch 19 has been operated (NO in step S203). If it is determined that the start switch 19 has been operated (YES in step S203), the lottery process by the combination lottery means 103 is executed (step S203). Step S204).

  Then, after the combination lottery process, rotation of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is started (step S205). It is determined whether or not the stop switch corresponding to one of the rotating reels has been operated (step S206). If it is determined that the stop switch has not been operated (NO in step S206), the operation is not performed. Wait until done. If it is determined that the stop switch corresponding to one of the rotating reels has been operated (YES in step S206), the stop control unit 106 controls the reel rotation to respond to the operated stop switch. The rotation of the reel to be stopped is stopped (step S207).

  A reel error determination process (E5 error), which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 23, is performed (step S208).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not all the rotations of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R have been stopped (step S209). If it is determined that any of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (NO in step S209), the process returns to step S206. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the rotations of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R have stopped (YES in step S209), the symbol determination unit 109 performs symbol determination (that is, determination of winning). (Step S210).

  Then, after the symbol determination process (winning determination process), a game information aggregation process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 24, is performed (step S211). Subsequently, a medal payout process is executed by the payout control means 110 as necessary (step S212). Then, the process returns to step S201.

  Since the game information aggregation process is performed after the symbol determination process (winning determination process) and before the medal payout process, for example, even if a setting change occurs unexpectedly during the payout of game media, Information aggregation processing has already been performed. For this reason, a calculation result obtained by performing a predetermined calculation using the aggregated data aggregated by the game information aggregation process (in this embodiment, an advantageous section ratio (cumulative), a continuous feature ratio (6000 games), an accessory ratio ( 6000 games), game ratio information (cumulative character ratio (cumulative), character ratio (cumulative)) can be easily inspected or confirmed by an inspector, and for example, a setting change occurs unexpectedly during game media payout Even in such a case, it is possible to accurately calculate the total items.

2.1. Overflow Error Determination Processing FIG. 21 overflow error determination processing (step S201) will be described with reference to FIG.

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines whether an overflow error has occurred (step S231). Specifically, when the medal is full in the auxiliary tank, the two overflow sensors 57a inserted in the auxiliary tank are energized, and the energization continues for a predetermined time or more. It is determined that an overflow error has occurred. If it is determined that an overflow error has not occurred (NO in step S231), the process returns to the main process in FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that an overflow error has occurred (YES in step S231), the specific event detection unit 112 sets the error code “E6” (step S232). Then, the error process described in detail with reference to FIG. 20 is performed by the game stop means 113 or the like (step S233), and the process returns to the main process in FIG.

2.2. Reel Error Determination Process The reel error determination process (step S208) in FIG. 21 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines whether or not all of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R (rotating cylinder) have stopped rotating (step S251). If it is determined that all of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R have stopped rotating (YES in step S251), the process returns to the main process in FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that any of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R has not stopped rotating (NO in step S251), the specific event detection unit 112 determines that the reel (rotating cylinder) is rotating. It is determined whether or not the rotation is a steady rotation state in which the rotation is rotating at a steady rotation speed (step S252). If it is determined that the reel being rotated is in a steady rotation state (YES in step S252), the process returns to step S251.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the rotating reel is not in a steady rotation state (NO in step S252), the specific event detection unit 112 sets an error code “E5” (step S253). Then, the error processing described in detail with reference to FIG. 20 is performed by the game stop means 113 or the like (step S254).

  Then, the reel (rotating drum) is restarted by the main CPU 61 (step S255). Specifically, once the rotation is stopped, the rotation is started to the normal rotation speed with the normal rotation acceleration. In addition, you may make it become a normal rotational speed once, without stopping. Then, the main CPU 61 sets whether or not the reel (cylinder) can be stopped (step S256). That is, by setting whether or not the spinning cylinder can be stopped in this step, the reel stops at a position where the reel should stop without operating the stop switch. Then, the process returns to step S251.

2.3. Game Information Aggregation Process The game information aggregation process (step S211) of FIG. 21 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The counting means 114a adds the number of winnings in the current game to the total payout number in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period in FIG. 9, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 400 update processing described in the above is performed (step S271).

  The counting unit 114a determines whether or not it is in the first type combination (for example, BB) (step S272). If it is determined that it is not in the first type combination (NO in step S272), the process proceeds to step S274. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is in the first type combination (YES in step S272), the counting unit 114a continues the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. A 400 update process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 25, is performed by adding the number of winnings in the current game to the number of paid-out items (step S273). Then, the process proceeds to step S274.

  In step S274, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the first type combination or the second type combination (for example, CB) is in progress. When it is determined that it is in the first type combination or the second type combination (YES in step S274), the process proceeds to step S276. On the other hand, when it is determined that neither the first type combination nor the second type combination is present (NO in step S274), the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the normal combination (for example, SB) is being performed ( Step S275). If it is determined that it is in the normal combination (YES in step S275), the process proceeds to step S276. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not in the normal combination (NO in step S275), the process proceeds to step S277.

  In step S276, the counting means 114a adds the number of winnings in the current game to the number of bonuses paid out in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. The 400 update process which will be described later in detail is performed (step S276), and the process proceeds to step S277.

  In step S277, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the total game number upper limit flag is 0 (that is, whether or not the total game number is equal to or less than the maximum value of 4 bytes for storing the total number of total games in FIG. 9). Or not). When it is determined that the total game number upper limit flag is not 0 (NO in step S277), the process proceeds to step S281. On the other hand, if it is determined that the total game number upper limit flag is 0 (YES in step S277), the counting unit 114a adds 1 to the total number of total games in FIG. The number-of-games update process described in detail in FIG.

  In step S279, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the control for turning on the advantageous section lamp 47 is performed (that is, whether or not the advantageous section is an advantageous section). When it is determined that the control to turn on the advantageous section lamp 47 is not performed (NO in step S279), the process proceeds to step S281. On the other hand, when it is determined that the control to turn on the advantageous section lamp 47 is performed (YES in step S279), the counting unit 114a adds 1 to the number of advantageous section games in FIG. The number-of-games update process described in detail in FIG.

  In step S281, the counting unit 114a sets 1 as the number of ratio calculations (step S281).

  Subsequently, the counting unit 114a performs an update process of adding 1 to the 400 counter (game number counter 652) (step S282). Then, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the 400 counter is 400 (step S283). If it is determined that the 400 counter is not 400 (NO in step S283), the process returns to the main process in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the 400 counter is 400 (YES in step S283), the counting unit 114a resets the 400 counter to 0 and sets 5 as the number of ratio calculations (step S284). That is, for every 400 games, the ratio calculation count is set to 5, and the advantageous section ratio (cumulative), continuous character ratio (6000 games), character ratio (6000 games), continuous character ratio (cumulative), and character ratio (Cumulative) is calculated, and in other games, the ratio calculation count is set to 1 and only the advantageous section ratio (cumulative) is calculated.

  Subsequent to step S284, the counting unit 114a accumulates the total payout number from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 of FIG. 9 and stores the accumulated result in the accumulated PS as the total payout number for the latest 6000 games. 6000 update processing, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 27, is performed every 400 games (step S285). Subsequently, the counting unit 114a accumulates the consecutive feature payout numbers from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. 9 and stores the accumulated result in the accumulated PS as the consecutive feature payout number for the latest 6000 games. 6000 update processing, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 27, is performed every 400 games (step S286). Subsequently, the counting means 114a accumulates the number of paid-out items from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. 9 and stores the accumulated result in the accumulated PS as the number of paid-out items for the latest 6000 games. 6000 update processing, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 27, is performed every 400 games (step S287).

  Subsequent to step S287, the counting means 114a determines whether or not the total payout upper limit flag is 0 (that is, the total payout total payout number is a 4-byte maximum value for storing the total payout total payout number in FIG. 9). Whether or not) is determined (step S288). If it is determined that the total payout upper limit flag is not 0 (NO in step S288), the process proceeds to step S292.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the total payout upper limit flag is 0 (YES in step S288), the counting unit 114a adds the total payout number in FIG. 9 from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15. A cumulative update process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 28, is performed by adding the total payout number (total payout number for the last 400 games) in the period corresponding to the ring pointer to update the total cumulative payout number. , Every 400 games (step S289). Subsequently, the counting means 114a adds the consecutive consecutive feature payout number of the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 to the total accumulated consecutive feature payout number in FIG. The total cumulative number of consecutive feature payouts is updated by adding the total number of consecutive feature payouts), and a cumulative update process described in detail later with reference to FIG. 28 is performed for every 400 games (step S290). Subsequently, the counting means 114a adds the number of bonuses to be paid out in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 (the latest 400 games worth). The total cumulative number of feature payouts is updated by adding the number of bonuses paid out), and a cumulative update process described in detail later with reference to FIG. 28 is performed for every 400 games (step S291). move on.

  In step S292, the counting unit 114a updates the ring pointer (step S292). The ring pointer is pointed in the order of the first period P1, the second period P2, the third period P3,..., The fourteenth period P14, the fifteenth period P15, the first period P1, the second period P2,. In other words, it is updated every 400 games so as to point out the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in order.

  The counting unit 114a determines whether or not the ring pointer update result is 0, that is, whether or not the ring pointer has returned to the initial position (step S293). When it is determined that the ring pointer update result is not 0 (NO in step S293), the process proceeds to step S295. On the other hand, if it is determined that the ring pointer update result is 0 (YES in step S293), the counting unit 114a has reached 6000 games since the number of games after installation or after the RWM clear has reached 6000 games. (Hexadecimal notation) is set (step S294), and the process proceeds to step S295. The 6000 arrival flag is set to $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) at the time of installation or when the RWM is cleared.

  The counting means 114a clears the total payout number (total old payout number for 400 games) corresponding to the updated ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. Is set to 0 (step S295). Subsequently, the counting unit 114a calculates the number of consecutive feature payouts for the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. Clear to 0 (step S296). Subsequently, the counting means 114a clears the bonus payout number for the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first term P1 to the fifteenth term P15 in FIG. The value is set to 0 (step S297). Then, the process returns to the main process procedure of FIG.

2.3.1. 400 Update Processing The 400 update processing (steps S271, S273, S276) in FIG. 24 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The counting means 114a acquires the RWM address corresponding to the ring pointer (step S311), adds the winning number in the current game to the acquired RWM address value (step S312), and performs the game information totaling process of FIG. Return to the procedure.

  However, the RWM address corresponding to the ring pointer is the total number of payouts in the period corresponding to the ring pointer in the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 in FIG. 9 in the 400 update process related to the total payout number in step S271. In the 400 update process relating to the number of consecutive-item payouts in step S273, the consecutive combination of the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. This is the address of the storage area that stores the number of items to be paid out. In the 400 update process related to the number of items to be paid out in step S276, the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 in FIG. This is the address of the storage area that stores the number of items to be paid out.

2.3.2. Game Number Update Process The game number update process (steps S278 and S280) in FIG. 24 will be described with reference to FIG.

  Here, in the game number update process related to the total number of games in step 278, 4 bytes of the total number of games in FIG. 9 are to be updated, and in the game number update process related to the number of advantageous section games in step S280, FIG. 4 bytes of the total number of advantageous section games of the total is the update target.

  The aggregation unit 114a performs an update process of adding 1 to the value of the lower 2 bytes of the 4 bytes of the RWM 65 to be updated (step S331). Then, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the update result of the lower 2 bytes (that is, the value of the lower 2 bytes after the update) is 0 (step S332). If it is determined that the update result is not 0 (NO in step S332), the process returns to the game information totaling process in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the update result of the lower 2 bytes is 0 (YES in step S332), since the carry has occurred, the counting unit 114a determines the upper 2 of the 4 bytes of the RWM 65 to be updated. An update process for adding 1 to the byte value is performed (step S333), and the process proceeds to step S334.

  Then, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the update result of the upper 2 bytes (that is, the value of the upper 2 bytes after the update) is 0 (step S334). If it is determined that the update result is not 0 (NO in step S334), the process returns to the game information totaling process in FIG.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the update result of the upper 2 bytes is 0 (YES in step S334), the value obtained by adding 1 to the value of 4 bytes before the update exceeds the maximum value 2 ³² −1 that can be expressed in 4 bytes. Therefore, the counting unit 114a sets $ FF (hexadecimal notation) in the total game number upper limit flag (step S335). The total game number upper limit flag is set to $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) at the time of installation or when the RWM is cleared.

  Subsequent to step S335, the aggregation unit 114a sets $ FF (hexadecimal notation) to each of the first to fourth bytes of the RWM 65 to be updated (step S336), and performs the game information aggregation process of FIG. Return to the procedure.

  However, since the game number update process related to the total number of games and the game number update process related to the advantageous section game number are performed in the same subroutine, this subroutine can be used even in the case of a model having no function related to the advantageous section. The “game number update process” is executed. On the other hand, when the game number update process related to the total number of games and the game number update process related to the advantageous section game number are performed in separate subroutines, in the case of a model that does not have a function related to the advantageous section, The subroutine for the number-of-games update process related to the number of advantageous section games is not executed, resulting in a so-called “unused program”. However, since the number-of-games update process related to the total number of games and the number-of-games update process related to the advantageous section game number are performed in the same subroutine as in this embodiment, this subroutine is a function related to the advantageous section. Even a model that does not have a program does not become an “unused program”, and a program can be diverted even if the model has a different performance, thereby reducing the development burden.

  In addition, the processing step of setting the total game number upper limit flag is also included in the game number update process related to the advantageous section game number, but the total game number upper limit flag is first set in the game number update process related to the total game number. $ FF (hexadecimal notation) is set, and $ FF (hexadecimal notation) is not set in the total game number upper limit flag in the game number update process related to the advantageous section game number.

2.3.3. 6000 Update Process The 6000 update process (steps S285, S286, S287) in FIG. 24 will be described with reference to FIG.

  Here, in the 6000 update process related to the total payout number in step S285, the RWM address of the storage area (2 bytes) of the total payout number in each period from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. The RWM address is set, and the RWM address in the storage area (3 bytes) of the total payout number of the accumulated PS in FIG. 9 is the added address. In addition, in the 6000 update processing related to the consecutive feature payout number in step S286, the RWM address of the storage area (2 bytes) of the consecutive feature payout number in each period from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. The RWM address is added in order, and the RWM address in the storage area (3 bytes) of the consecutive PS payout number of the accumulated PS in FIG. 9 becomes the added address. Further, in the 6000 update processing relating to the number of paid-out items in step S287, the RWM addresses in the storage area (2 bytes) of the number of paid-out items for each period from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 in FIG. The RWM address is added, and the RWM address in the storage area (3 bytes) of the accumulated payout number of the accumulated PS in FIG. 9 is the added address.

  The counting unit 114a clears the 3 bytes of the RWM address to be added and sets the value to 0 (step S351).

  Since the accumulation target is for 15 periods from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15, the counting means 114a sets the number of repetitions to 15, and the first period from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15. The address of the storage area of P1 is set as the addition RWM address (step S352).

  Then, the aggregation unit 114a updates the value of the lower 2 bytes of the added RWM address by adding the value of 2 bytes of the added RWM address to the value of the lower 2 bytes of the added RWM address (step S353). Then, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the calculation result has been carried (that is, whether or not a carry has occurred) (step S354). If it is determined that the calculation result is not carried on (NO in step S354), the process proceeds to step S356. On the other hand, when it is determined that the calculation result has been carried (YES in step S354), the counting unit 114a adds 1 to the value of the third byte of the added RWM address, thereby adding the value of the third byte of the added RWM address. Update (step S355) and proceed to step S356.

  In step S356, the counting unit 114a updates the addition RWM address. Here, the addition RWM address is updated so that, for example, the addition target is updated in the next period.

  Subsequent to step S356, the counting unit 114a subtracts 1 from the number of repetitions (step S357), and determines whether the number of repetitions is 0 (step S358). If it is determined that the number of repetitions is not 0 (NO in step S358), the accumulation process from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 has not ended, and the process returns to step S353. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of repetitions is 0 (YES in step S358), since the accumulation process from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 has been completed, the game information aggregation process of FIG. Return to the procedure. In this way, the values from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period are accumulated, and the accumulation result is stored in the accumulated PS.

2.3.4. Cumulative Update Processing The cumulative update processing (steps S289, S290, S291) in FIG. 24 will be described using FIG.

  The counting unit 114a acquires the RWM address (added RWM address) corresponding to the ring pointer (step S371). However, as the RWM address corresponding to the ring pointer, in the cumulative update process related to the total payout number in step S289, the total payout number in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. 9 is acquired, and in the cumulative update processing relating to the number of consecutively paid-out items in step S290, the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. The address of the storage area (2 bytes) of the consecutive feature payout number corresponding to the period is acquired. In the cumulative update process related to the payout number of the feature in step S291, the address from the first period P1 in FIG. The address of the storage area (2 bytes) of the number of payouts for the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the 15th period P15 is acquired.

  Subsequent to step S371, the counting unit 114a updates the value of the lower 2 bytes of the added RWM address by adding the value of the added RWM address to the value of the lower 2 bytes of the added RWM address (step S372). However, in the cumulative update process related to the total payout number in step S289, the lower 2 bytes of the total payout number in FIG. 9 are the lower 2 bytes of the RWM address to be added, and the continuous feature payout number in step S290 is related to In the cumulative update process, the lower 2 bytes of the total accumulated consecutive feature payout number in FIG. 9 are the lower 2 bytes of the RWM address to be added. In the cumulative update process related to the feature payout number in step S291, in FIG. The lower 2 bytes of the total accumulated number of paid-out items is the lower 2 bytes of the RWM address to be added.

  Then, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the calculation result in step S372 is a carry-on, that is, whether or not a carry has occurred (step S373). If it is determined that the calculation result is not a carry-on (NO in step S373), the process returns to the game information totaling process in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the calculation result is a carryon (YES in step S373), the counting unit 114a updates the added RWM address (step S374). However, the updated RWM address after update is the address of the upper 2 bytes of the total payout number in FIG. 9 in the cumulative update process related to the total payout number in step S289, and the consecutive feature payout number in step S290. 9 is the address of the upper 2 bytes of the total cumulative number of consecutive featured payouts in FIG. 9, and in the cumulative update process related to the number of payouts in step S291, the total cumulative feature in FIG. This is the address of the upper 2 bytes of the payout number.

  Then, the counting unit 114a updates the value of the upper 2 bytes of the added RWM address by adding 1 to the value of the upper 2 bytes of the added RWM address (step S375), and the update result in step S375 is 0. (Whether the value of the upper 2 bytes is 0) is determined (step S376). If it is determined that the update result is not 0 (NO in step S376), the process returns to the game information totaling process in FIG.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the update result is 0 (YES in step S376), the result of adding the 2-byte value of the addition RWM to the 4-byte pre-update value of the RWM address to be added is the maximum value of 4 bytes. Since 2 ³² −1 is exceeded, the counting unit 114a sets $ FF (hexadecimal notation) in the total payout upper limit flag (step S377). The total payout upper limit flag is set to $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) at the time of installation or when the RWM is cleared. Then, the aggregation unit 114a sets $ FF (hexadecimal notation) for each of the first byte to the fourth byte, which is the update target of the RWM 65 (step S378), and the processing procedure of the game information aggregation process of FIG. Return to.

2.4. Medal Payout Processing The medal payout processing (step S212) in FIG. 21 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The payout control means 110 determines whether or not there is a medal payout (step S401). If it is determined that no medal has been paid out (NO in step S401), the process returns to the main process in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that medals have been paid out (YES in step S401), the payout control means 110 determines whether or not the number of credit medals is 50 (step S402). When it is determined that the number of credit medals is less than 50 (NO in step S402), the process proceeds to step S408.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of credit medals is 50 (YES in step S402), the specific event detecting unit 112 sets a determination time for a payout game medal out error (E3 error) (step S403). When the payout is not performed even after a predetermined time has elapsed, counting of the determination time (time counting) for determining that the medal in the hopper unit 43 is empty is started.

  The payout control means 110 performs rotation control for starting rotation of the hopper motor 57 of the hopper unit 43 (step S404).

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines whether or not the determination time of the payout game medal expired error (E3 error) has elapsed (step S405). When it is determined that the determination time has elapsed (YES in step S405), the process proceeds to step S410.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the determination time has not elapsed (NO in step S405), the payout control unit 110 determines whether one medal has been paid out (step S406). This is to detect whether or not one medal has been paid out by the payout sensor 54 of the hopper unit 43. If it is determined that one medal has been paid out (YES in step S406), the process proceeds to the next step S407, and if it is determined that one medal has not been paid out (NO in step S406), step Return to S404.

  In step S407, the payout control means 110 determines whether or not the payout of medals has ended. If it is determined that the medal payout has been completed (YES in step S407), the process returns to the main processing procedure of FIG. 21, and if it is determined that the medal payout has not ended (NO in step S407). Return to step S403.

  If it is determined in step S402 that the number of credit medals is less than 50 (NO in step S402), the payout control means 110 adds one to the number of credit medals (stored number) (step S408). . As a result, the number of credit medals (stored number) displayed on the payout display 46 increases by one.

  Subsequent to step S408, the payout control unit 110 determines whether or not the payout of medals has ended (step S409). If it is determined that the medal payout has been completed (YES in step S409), the process returns to the main processing procedure of FIG. 21, and if it is determined that the medal payout has not ended (NO in step S409). Return to step S402.

  If it is determined in the determination process in step S405 that the determination time has elapsed (YES in step S405), the specific event detection unit 112 sets the error code “E3” (step S410). Then, the error processing described in detail with reference to FIG. 20 is performed by the game stop means 113 or the like (step S411), and the process returns to step S403.

3. Timer Interrupt Processing The timer interrupt processing will be described with reference to FIG. However, the timer interrupt process in FIG. 30 is a process executed by the main CPU 61.

  First, phase output processing is performed on each of the stepping motors as the left, middle, and right reel drive motors 14L, 14M, and 14R (step S431). Specifically, excitation data for rotation of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is output to each of the stepping motors.

  Command transmission processing is performed from the sub control command transmission unit 111 of the main CPU 61 to the sub control command reception unit 201 of the sub CPU 71 (step S432). Specifically, this command is a command transmission process to the sub CPU 71 that is normally transmitted from the main CPU 61, and is actually transmitted from the sub control command transmission unit 111 to the sub control command reception unit 201. .

  In the power supply unit including the power switch 50a and the like, it is determined whether or not the power is cut off (power supply is cut off, that is, the power supply is stopped) (step S433). If it is determined that the power is cut off (YES in step S433), a power interruption process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 31, is performed (step S434), and the timer interrupt process is terminated.

  When it is determined in the determination process in step S433 that the power is not turned off (NO in step S433), a ramp process is performed (step S435). Although not particularly shown, this lamp is a bet number display lamp, a replay display lamp, or the like, and is controlled by the main CPU 61.

  Then, port input processing is performed (step S436). This port input processing includes sensors for the main CPU 61 (the insertion sensor 53 of the medal selector 48, the payout sensor 54 and the overflow sensor 57a of the hopper unit 43, the bet switch 15, the maximum bet switch 17, the left / middle / right stop switches 21L and 21M. , 21R, etc.).

  Thereafter, a use area outside interrupt process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 33, is performed (step S437).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether there is a transmission command for transmission from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71 (step S438). If it is determined that there is no transmission command (NO in step S438), the process proceeds to step S440. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a transmission command (YES in step S438), a transmission command that has been set (introduction abnormality in steps S564 and S570, which will be described in detail later, payout abnormality in step S603, door in step S635) Status) transmission processing is performed (step S439), and the process proceeds to step S440.

  In step S440, it is determined whether there is error data. The error data is a flag for notifying the main CPU 61 of an error (shifting to error processing). When the error data is set (turned on), the main CPU 61 shifts to error processing. Is. Specifically, it is set in steps S572, S574, S607, S611, and S622, which will be described later.

  When it is determined that error data is set (ON state) (YES in step S440), the error processing described in detail with reference to FIG. 20 is performed by the game stop means 113 or the like (step S441), Timer interrupt processing ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that error data is not set (not in the on state) (NO in step S440), a medal insertion determination is performed (step S442), and a medal payout determination is performed (step S443). Timer update processing is performed (step S444), and port output processing is performed (step S445). Then, external signal output processing, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 32, is performed (step S446).

  Subsequently, the display control means 115 performs the thousandth, hundredth, tenth of the ratio display 69 set by performing each ratio display setting (FIGS. 46 to 48) in step S536 of FIG. The display of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 is controlled using the set value of the first place and the first place (step S447). Then, the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R (rotating drum) are controlled (step S448).

3.1. Electricity interruption process The electric interruption process (step S434) of FIG. 30 is demonstrated using FIG. However, the power interruption process of FIG. 31 is a process executed by the main CPU 61.

  A stack pointer is set (step S471). This holds the address of the most recently referenced position in a memory area called a stack. Subsequent to step S471, the power interruption flag is set (step S472). Predetermined predetermined numerical values are stored. Subsequent to step S472, a checksum value is set (step S473). Then, the process returns to the process procedure of the timer interrupt process of FIG.

3.2. External Signal Output Processing The external signal output processing (step S446) in FIG. 30 will be described using FIG. However, the external signal output process of FIG. 32 is a process executed by the main CPU 61.

  It is determined whether or not the door (specifically, the front door 5) is in an open state, that is, whether or not the door sensor 58 is OFF (step S501).

  When it is determined that the front door 5 is in the closed state (NO in step S501), the process proceeds to step S503. On the other hand, when it is determined that the front door 5 is in the open state (YES in step S501), the external signal 5 output suspension timer is set (step S502), and the process proceeds to step S503. Specifically, the count (timekeeping) of the external signal 5 output suspension timer is started. Here, the “output hold timer” is a timer for continuously outputting a predetermined signal when the door (front door 5) is opened or when a predetermined error occurs. Specifically, for example, when the door (front door 5) is opened, a timer is set for 3 seconds from the time of opening, and even if the door (front door 5) shifts from the open state to the closed state during that time, 3 seconds. The signal is set so that the signal is not turned off unless the timer has elapsed. Thereby, even if it instantaneously shifts from the open state to the closed state, the state that the door (front door 5) is once opened can be reliably output to the outside. Specifically, this signal output is output from the external concentration terminal board 59 to the hall computer managed by the hall manager of the game hall. A “hold timer” of an external signal 4 output hold timer, which will be described later, has a similar function.

  In step S503, it is determined whether or not the external signal 5 output suspension timer is operating (step S503). If it is determined that the external signal 5 output suspension timer is in operation (YES in step S503), the external signal 5 is turned on (step S504), and the process proceeds to step S506. On the other hand, when it is determined that the external signal 5 output suspension timer is not in operation (NO in step S503), the external signal 5 is turned off (step S505), and the process proceeds to step S506.

  It is determined whether or not the specific condition is met (step S506). Here, specifically, the specific condition is met as follows: (1) E0 error, (2) E1 error, (3) E2 error, (4) E7 error, (5) EA error, (6) E0 This means that the error determination flag is ON, (7) E2 error determination flag is ON, (8) EA error determination flag is ON (1) to (8). Here, (1) to (5) are based on a regular error signal indicating a state where an error corresponding to the error code has occurred, and the “error determination flag” in (6) to (8) is a so-called reservation. It is a flag (hold flag).

  If it is determined that none of the specific conditions matches (NO in step S506), the process proceeds to step S508. On the other hand, if it is determined that any of the specific conditions is met (YES in step S506), the external signal 4 output suspension timer is set (step S507), and the process proceeds to step S508. Specifically, the count (timekeeping) of the external signal 4 output suspension timer is started.

  In step S508, it is determined whether or not the external signal 4 output suspension timer is operating. If it is determined that the external signal 4 output suspension timer is in operation (YES in step S508), the external signal 4 is turned on (step S509), and the process returns to the timer interrupt process in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the external signal 4 output suspension timer is not in operation (NO in step S508), the external signal 4 is turned off (step S510), and the process returns to the timer interrupt processing procedure in FIG.

3.3. Out-of-use area interrupt process The out-of-use area interrupt process (step S437) of FIG. 30 will be described with reference to FIG. However, the out-of-use area interrupt process in FIG. 33 is a process executed by the main CPU 61.

  The monitoring process of the selector sensor (specifically, the insertion sensor 53) of the medal selector 48, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 34, 35, and 36, is performed (step S531). Subsequently, a monitoring process of the payout sensor 54, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 37 and 38, is performed (step S532). Subsequently, a monitoring process for a door (specifically, the front door 5), which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 39, is performed (step S533).

  Then, a ratio display related timer update process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 40, is performed (step S534). Subsequently, each ratio calculation described in detail later with reference to FIG. 41 is performed (step S535). Subsequently, each ratio display setting, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 46, is performed (step S536). Then, the procedure returns to the timer interrupt processing procedure of FIG.

3.3.1 Selector Sensor Monitoring Process The selector sensor monitoring process (step S531) in FIG. 33 will be described with reference to FIGS. 34, 35, and 36. FIG.

  The specific event detection unit 112 determines whether the selector sensor C is over time (step S561). This is to cause an E0 error (inserted medal error) if the selector sensor C is kept on for 1.6 seconds. When it is determined that the selector sensor C is not over time (NO in step S561), the process proceeds to step S565.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the selector sensor C is overtime (YES in step S561), the specific event detection unit 112 sets the E0 error flag as an error determination flag (step S562). Then, the E0 error flag and the error determination flag are turned on. This error determination flag is a flag for reserving (holding) the occurrence of an error and shifting to error processing. Based on this error determination flag, “transmission abnormality”, “payout abnormality”, and the like of a transmission command, which will be described later, are transmitted to the sub CPU 71.

  Subsequent to step S562, the specific event detection unit 112 determines whether any of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (step S563). If it is determined that none of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (NO in step S563), the process proceeds to step S565. On the other hand, when it is determined that any of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (YES in step S563), the specific event detection unit 112 transmits a command for transmission from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71. In step S564, the medal “insertion abnormality” is set in step S565, and the process proceeds to step S565.

  In step S565, the specific event detection unit 112 determines whether any of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (step S565). If it is determined that any of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (YES in step S565), the process proceeds to step S567. On the other hand, when it is determined that none of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (NO in step S565), the specific event detection unit 112 determines whether or not a medal is being paid out. (Step S566). If it is determined that a medal is being paid out (YES in step S566), the process proceeds to step S567. If it is determined that a medal is not being paid out (NO in step S566), the process proceeds to step S571.

  In step S567, the specific event detection unit 112 determines whether or not the selector sensor A or B as the closing sensor 53 is in an on state. If it is determined that neither of the selector sensors A and B is in the ON state (NO in step S567), the process returns to the processing procedure for the outside use area interrupt process in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the selector sensor A or B is in the ON state (YES in step S567), the specific event detection unit 112 sets the EA error (sensor error) flag as an error determination flag (step S568). This error determination flag is a flag for reserving the occurrence of an error and shifting to error processing.

  Subsequent to step S568, the specific event detection unit 112 determines whether any of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (step S569). If it is determined that none of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (NO in step S569), the process returns to the processing routine for the outside use area interrupt process of FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that any of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (YES in step S569), the specific event detection unit 112 transmits a command for transmission from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71. In step S570, the medal “insertion error” is set in step S570, and the process returns to the outside-use area interrupt process in FIG.

  In step S571, the specific event detection unit 112 determines whether or not the E0 error (game medal error) flag is on. If it is determined that the E0 error flag is in the ON state (YES in step S571), the error determination flag for the E0 error is cleared, and in step S572, the specific event detection unit 112 receives error data with the error code “E0”. Set (error data flag is set to ON). Setting the error data means that the error data flag is turned on, and that the flag for shifting to error processing in the main CPU 61 is turned on. And it returns to the process sequence of the outside use area interruption process of FIG.

Store $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) of the H register in the D register.

  Subsequently, the value $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) of the fourth byte of the dividend B is multiplied by $ 64 (hexadecimal notation), and $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) of the upper byte of the multiplication result $ 0000 (hexadecimal notation). Is stored in the H register, and $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) of the lower byte is stored in the L register. Then, $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) of the L register and $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) of the D register are added, and $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) of the lower byte of the addition result is added to the fourth byte of the arithmetic work area. Store $ 00 (hexadecimal notation) of the H register in the D register.

  Since all bytes of the dividend B are multiplied by $ 64 (hexadecimal notation), the value of the D register is stored in the fifth byte of the arithmetic work area.

  As described above, in the case of hexadecimal multiplication, calculation is performed in units of 1 byte in the same way of writing as decimal numbers. Starting from the first byte of the dividend B, multiply by 100 (multiply by $ 64 in hexadecimal notation), add 2 bytes of operation results by shifting one byte at a time, and multiply multiple bytes by 100 ($ in hexadecimal notation) 64 multiplications). At this time, the maximum of the calculation result is $ FF × $ 64 = $ 639C (hexadecimal notation), so there is no overflow when adding the carry amount. The addition result is stored in the calculation work area in order from the first byte, and the calculation result is the number of bytes obtained by adding 1 to the number of calculation bytes.

  Next, a process of dividing a value (B × 100) obtained by multiplying the dividend B by 100 (B × 100) by the divisor A will be described with reference to FIGS. 52 to 56.

  Here, when the dividend B is less than or equal to the divisor A, when the dividend B is multiplied by 100 and the result (B × 100) divided by the divisor A is divided, the quotient is always 100 (decimal notation) or less. Therefore, in binary notation, the quotient is a 1-byte value and the seventh bit is always 0. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 52, in decimal notation, the quotient value may be calculated as one hundredth place, tenth place, or first place (that is, the “*” portion in FIG. 52). In binary notation, 7 bits (that is, the portion “*” in FIG. 52) from the 6th bit to the 0th bit may be calculated as the quotient value. In addition, when calculating the quotient value in decimal notation, it is sufficient to calculate from the hundreds and calculating to the first digit. Similarly, when calculating the quotient value in binary notation, It suffices to calculate from the 6th bit to the 0th bit.

  In the decimal notation, when calculating the value of the hundredth place of the quotient, “78000” is taken out as a subtraction judgment part as shown in FIG. 53, and as shown in FIG. 54, the subtraction judgment part “78000” is taken as a divisor “750,000”. The value of the hundreds of the quotient is obtained by comparing with.

  Similarly, when calculating the value of the sixth bit of the quotient in binary notation, as shown in FIG. 53, the part necessary for calculating the value of the sixth bit of the quotient is subtracted and determined (A register Shift the bit values from the 5th byte to the 1st byte of the calculation work area to the left (upper bit side) to shift to the least significant bit of the and the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area To do. As a result, the subtraction judgment part (from the fifth byte to the second byte of the A register and the calculation work area) is changed from the sixth bit in the fifth byte of the calculation work area before the 2-bit shift to the sixth byte in the first byte of the calculation work area. Up to the bit.

  However, the result of multiplying the 4-byte maximum value $ FFFFFFFF (hexadecimal notation) by 100 is $ 63FFFFFF9C (hexadecimal notation), and in binary notation, it is 01100011 11111111 11111111 11111111 10011100. Thus, since the most significant bit of the 5th byte in binary notation is 0, even when shifting the 2nd bit from the 5th byte to the 1st byte of the calculation work area, only the least significant bit of the A register is used. If used, the information of the result of multiplying the dividend B by 100 (B × 100) will not be lost.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 54, the subtraction judgment part (the least significant bit of the A register and the fifth to second bytes of the arithmetic work area) is compared with the divisor to calculate the sixth bit of the quotient. If subtraction is possible, “1” is the sixth bit of the quotient.

  In this specific example, as shown in FIG. 54, the subtraction determination part “0 00000000 00000001 11011100 00010011” is compared with the divisor “00000000 00001011 01110001 10110000”, and the divisor cannot be subtracted from the subtraction determination part. Becomes “1”, and “0” obtained by inverting the carry flag is stored in the sixth bit of the ratio display work area as the sixth bit value of the quotient. If this subtraction is not possible, the value of the subtraction judgment part (the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area) is left as it is.

  When the divisor can be subtracted from the subtraction judgment part, the carry flag is “0”, and “1” obtained by inverting the carry flag is set to the value of the sixth bit of the quotient. Remember bit. When this subtraction is possible, the value from the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area is replaced with a value obtained by subtracting the divisor value from the value of the subtraction judgment part.

  Next, the value of the fifth bit of the quotient in binary notation is calculated. Here, when calculating the decimal place in decimal notation, as shown in FIG. 55 and FIG. 56, an operation of dropping “0” of the decimal place of 7800000 is performed. Similarly, when calculating the fifth bit of the quotient in binary notation, an operation of lowering the fifth bit of the dividend B × 100 is performed. Specifically, in the binary notation, when calculating the value of the fifth bit of the quotient, the part necessary for calculating the value of the fifth bit of the quotient is the subtraction judgment part (the least significant bit of the A register and the calculation In order to shift from the fifth byte to the second byte in the work area, the bit values from the fifth byte to the first byte in the calculation work area are shifted by one bit to the left (upper bit side). As a result, the subtraction judgment part (from the fifth byte to the second byte of the A register and the calculation work area) is changed from the seventh bit in the fifth byte of the calculation work area before the 1-bit shift to the seventh byte in the first byte of the calculation work area. Up to the bit.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 55, the subtraction judgment part (the least significant bit of the A register and the fifth to second bytes of the arithmetic work area) is compared with the divisor to calculate the fifth bit of the quotient. If subtraction is possible, “1” is the fifth bit of the quotient.

  In this specific example, as shown in FIG. 55, since the subtraction judgment part “0 00000000 00000111 10111000 00101110” is compared with the divisor “00000000 00001011 01110001 10110000”, the divisor cannot be subtracted from the subtraction judgment part. Becomes “1”, and “0” obtained by inverting the carry flag is stored in the fifth bit of the ratio display work area as the fifth bit value of the quotient. If this subtraction is not possible, the value of the subtraction judgment part (the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area) is left as it is.

  If the divisor can be subtracted from the subtraction judgment part, the carry flag is “0”, and “1” obtained by inverting the carry flag is the value of the fifth bit of the quotient. Remember bit. When this subtraction is possible, the value from the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area is replaced with a value obtained by subtracting the divisor value from the value of the subtraction judgment part.

  Similarly, the values of the fourth bit, third bit, second bit, first bit, and zeroth bit of the quotient are calculated.

  The calculation results are shown in FIG. As described above, the shift process (digit reduction process) and the subtraction determination are repeated a total of 7 times from the first byte of the arithmetic work area to derive the 0th bit from the 6th bit of the quotient. Finally, the value in the ratio display work area becomes a quotient, and the values from the fifth byte to the second byte of the calculation work area become the remainder.

  When the remainder is not 0, it is determined that the result of division is larger than the quotient value and smaller than the value obtained by adding 1 (value in binary notation) to the quotient, and when the remainder is 0, the division is performed. It can be used to determine that the result is the same as the quotient value.

  When the divisor A is a value that can exceed 2 bytes, the dividend B is a value that can exceed 2 bytes, and when the value of the dividend B is equal to or less than the value of the divisor A, the arithmetic means 114b calculates the divisor of the value of the dividend B It has a function to calculate the ratio (percentage) to the value of A, performs a multiplication process that multiplies the value of the dividend B by 100, and holds the result of the multiplication process (value of B × 100) in the calculation work area When dividing the value of the dividend B × 100 by the value of the divisor A, a division process for calculating only the lower 7 bits as a quotient is performed, and the result of the division process (B × 100 ÷ A value) is used for ratio display. Hold in work area. In the division process, the arithmetic means 114b calculates each bit value from the 6th bit to the 0th bit in the lower 7 bits as 1 when the subtracted value is greater than or equal to the subtracted value, and when the subtracted value is less than the subtracted value. Is calculated as 0. When the value of the divisor A is K (K is a natural number) bits, the subtraction value is a value represented by K bits from the (K-1) th bit to the 0th bit of the value of the divisor A, and is 6 bits. The subtracted value at the eye is a value represented by (K + 1) bits from the (K + 6) th bit to the sixth bit of the value of the dividend B × 100, and the subtracted value at the i (i = 0 to 5) th bit. When the value of the (i + 1) bit in the division result obtained by dividing the value of the dividend B × 100 by the value of the divisor A is 0, the value is the lower K bits of the subtracted value in the (i + 1) bit. This is a value represented by (K + 1) bits with the i-th bit of the value of the dividend B × 100 as the least significant bit, and the value of the dividend B × 100 is divided by the value of the divisor A. When the value of the (i + 1) -th bit in the division result is 1 The lower K bits of the value obtained by subtracting the subtracted value from the subtracted value at the (i + 1) th bit are set as the upper K bits, and the i bit of the value of the dividend B × 100 is set as the least significant bit (K + 1). ) Value expressed in bits.

  Subsequently, the outline of the ratio calculation process (step S674) in FIG. 41 will be described with reference to FIG. 57 with another specific example. However, in the specific example of FIG. 57, the divisor A is 0 (decimal notation) and the dividend B is 0 (decimal notation).

  The multiplication result obtained by multiplying the value of the dividend B by $ 00000000 (hexadecimal notation) by 100 is $ 0000000 (hexadecimal notation).

  First, the sixth bit value of the quotient in binary notation is calculated. In the binary notation, when calculating the value of the sixth bit of the quotient, as shown in FIG. 57, the part necessary for calculating the value of the sixth bit of the quotient is the subtraction judgment part (the least significant bit of the A register). In order to shift from the fifth byte to the second byte of the calculation work area, the bit values from the fifth byte to the first byte of the calculation work area are shifted by two bits to the left (upper bit side). As a result, the subtraction judgment part (from the fifth byte to the second byte of the A register and the calculation work area) is changed from the sixth bit in the fifth byte of the calculation work area before the 2-bit shift to the sixth byte in the first byte of the calculation work area. Up to the bit.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 57, the subtraction judgment part (the least significant bit of the A register and the fifth to second bytes of the operation work area) is compared with the divisor to calculate the sixth bit of the quotient. If subtraction is possible, “1” is the sixth bit of the quotient.

  In this specific example, as shown in FIG. 57, the subtraction determination part “0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000” and the divisor “00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000” can be compared, and the divisor can be subtracted from the subtraction determination part. Becomes “0”, and “1” obtained by inverting the carry flag is stored as the sixth bit value of the quotient in the sixth bit of the ratio display work area. When this subtraction is possible, the value from the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area is replaced with a value obtained by subtracting the divisor value from the value of the subtraction judgment part.

  Next, the value of the fifth bit of the quotient in binary notation is calculated. When calculating the fifth bit of the quotient in binary notation, the part necessary to calculate the value of the fifth bit of the quotient is the subtraction judgment part (the least significant bit of the A register and the fifth byte of the work area for calculation). To the second byte), the bit values from the fifth byte to the first byte of the calculation work area are shifted by one bit to the left (upper bit side). As a result, the subtraction judgment part (from the fifth byte to the second byte of the A register and the calculation work area) is changed from the seventh bit in the fifth byte of the calculation work area before the 1-bit shift to the seventh byte in the first byte of the calculation work area. Up to the bit.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 57, the subtraction judgment part (the least significant bit of the A register and the fifth to second bytes of the arithmetic work area) is compared with the divisor to calculate the fifth bit of the quotient. If subtraction is possible, “1” is the fifth bit of the quotient.

  In this specific example, as shown in FIG. 57, the subtraction determination part “0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000” and the divisor “00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000” can be compared, and the divisor can be subtracted from the subtraction determination part. Becomes “0”, and “1” obtained by inverting the carry flag is stored in the fifth bit of the ratio display work area as the fifth bit value of the quotient. When this subtraction is possible, the value from the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area is replaced with a value obtained by subtracting the divisor value from the value of the subtraction judgment part.

  Similarly, the values of the fourth bit, third bit, second bit, first bit, and zeroth bit of the quotient are calculated. As shown in FIG. 57, the quotient value is 01111111 in binary notation, $ 7F in hexadecimal notation, and 127 in decimal notation. The remainder is 00000000 in binary notation, $ 00 in hexadecimal notation, and 0 in decimal notation.

  As described above, when the value of the dividend B is less than or equal to the value of the divisor A, the ratio (percentage) of the dividend B to the divisor A is 100 or less in decimal notation. If it exceeds 100 in decimal notation, the ratio display work area is cleared and the value is set to zero.

3.3.1 Ratio Calculation Process The ratio calculation process (step S674) in FIG. 41 will be described with reference to FIG. However, when the ratio calculation count is 0, the advantageous section ratio (cumulative) is calculated, when the ratio calculation count is 1, the continuous character ratio (6000 games) is calculated, and when the ratio calculation count is 2. If the ratio calculation count is 3, then the consecutive role ratio (cumulative) is calculated, and if the ratio calculation count is 4, the bonus ratio (cumulative) is calculated. The

  The calculation means 114b clears the fifth byte of the calculation work area (see FIG. 50) and the ratio display work area, and sets the value to 0 (step S701).

  The computing means 114b multiplies the RWM65 value (RWM value) corresponding to the dividend information acquired in step S673 of FIG. 41 by 100, and performs the 100 times processing described in detail later with reference to FIG. S702). However, when the ratio calculation count is 0, the value of the total cumulative advantage section game count of FIG. 9 is multiplied by 100, and when the ratio calculation count is 1, the value of the cumulative PS payout count of the cumulative PS of FIG. When the ratio calculation count is 2, the value of the cumulative PS payout number of the cumulative PS in FIG. 9 is multiplied by 100. When the ratio calculation count is 3, the total cumulative payout count value of FIG. When the number of times of ratio calculation is 4, the value of the total number of paid-out items in FIG. 9 is multiplied by 100.

  The calculating unit 114b acquires the first byte and the second byte of the RWM 65 corresponding to the divisor information acquired in step S673 of FIG. 41 (step S703). Then, the calculation means 114b determines whether or not the number of calculation bytes is 3 (step S704). In the present embodiment, the number of operation bytes is 3 or 4. When it is determined that the number of operation bytes is not 3, that is, the number of operation bytes is 4 (NO in step S704), the operation unit 114b acquires the fourth byte of the divisor RWM (step S705), The third byte of the RWM is acquired (step S706), and the process proceeds to step S707. On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of operation bytes is 3 (YES in step S704), the operation unit 114b acquires the third byte of the divisor RWM (step S706), and proceeds to step S707.

  However, when the ratio calculation count is 0, the divisor RWM is a 4-byte storage area for storing the total cumulative total number of games shown in FIG. 9, and when the ratio calculation count is 1, the total payout of the cumulative PS shown in FIG. When the ratio calculation count is 2, the 3-byte storage area stores the total number of payouts of the cumulative PS shown in FIG. 9. When the ratio calculation count is 3, FIG. 9 is a 4-byte storage area for storing the total number of payouts, and when the ratio calculation count is 4, this is a 4-byte storage area for storing the total number of payouts in FIG.

  The computing means 114b sets 7 as the number of repetitions (step S707). The reason why the number of repetitions is set to 7 is as follows. In the ratio calculation, the value of the dividend is equal to or less than the value of the divisor, and a value obtained by multiplying the value of the dividend by 100 is divided by the value of the divisor, so that the value of the quotient becomes 100 or less in decimal notation and binary notation. It can be expressed by lower 7 bits (7 bits from the 0th bit to the 6th bit). Therefore, it is only necessary to calculate the lower 7 bits from the 0th bit to the 6th bit in binary notation as the quotient value.

  If the number of repetitions is 7 set in step S707, the calculation unit 114b shifts data serving as the subtraction determination part from the fifth byte to the second byte of the A register and the calculation work area, using FIG. A shift process described in detail later is performed twice (steps S708 and S709). This is a process corresponding to a 2-bit shift when the value of the sixth bit of the quotient in FIG. 53 is calculated.

  In addition, when the number of repetitions is 1 to 6 other than 7 set in step S707 (when it is determined in step S718 described later that the number of repetitions is not 0), the calculation unit 114b obtains data that is a subtraction determination part. Shift processing from the fifth byte to the second byte of the A register and the calculation work area is performed once, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 44 (step S709). This is a process corresponding to a 1-bit shift when the value of the fifth bit of the quotient in FIG. 55 is calculated, for example.

  Subsequent to step S709, the calculation unit 114b stores the number of repetitions and the divisor in the RWM 65 (step S710).

  Subsequent to step S710, the computing unit 114b obtains the divisor data (the 4th byte to the 1st byte of the divisor RWM) from the data of the subtraction judgment part (data from the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the A register and the computation work area) The subtraction process described in detail later with reference to FIG. 45 is performed (step S711). When the number of bytes of the divisor is 3 bytes (for example, the total payout number of accumulated PS in FIG. 9), the value of the fourth byte of the divisor RWM is $ 00 (hexadecimal notation).

  In step S712, the calculation unit 114b determines whether or not the calculation result in step S711 is a carryon (step S712). When it is determined that the calculation result is a carryon (that is, when the data of the subtraction determination portion is not equal to or greater than the divisor data) (YES in step S712), the process proceeds to step S714. On the other hand, when it is determined that the calculation result is not a carry-on (that is, when the data in the subtraction determination part is equal to or greater than the divisor data) (NO in step S712), the calculation unit 114b calculates the calculation result in step S711 (subtraction determination part). (The result of subtracting the divisor data from the data) is set from the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area (step S713), and the process proceeds to step S714.

  In step S714, the calculation unit 114b inverts the carry flag. However, when the data of the divisor can be subtracted from the data of the subtraction judgment part (that is, when the data of the subtraction judgment part is greater than or equal to the data of the divisor), the carry flag value is 0, and the carry flag value is inverted. Becomes 1. In addition, when the data of the divisor cannot be subtracted from the data of the subtraction determination part (that is, when the data of the subtraction determination part is not equal to or greater than the data of the divisor), the carry flag value is 1, and the value obtained by inverting the carry flag value is 0.

  Subsequent to step S714, the calculation unit 114b rotates 8 bits of the ratio display work area to the left (upper bit side) by 1 bit, and stores the inverted value of the carry flag in the 0th bit (step S715). ). For example, when the number of repetitions is 7, the value stored in the 0th bit is rotated by 1 bit to the left, 6 times from 6 to 1, and when the number of repetitions becomes 0, the ratio is displayed. Is stored in the sixth bit of the work area. For example, when the number of repetitions is 6, the value stored in the 0th bit is rotated 5 times from 5 to 1, and 1 bit to the left. When the number of repetitions becomes 0, the ratio is displayed. Is stored in the fifth bit of the work area.

  Subsequent to step S715, the calculation unit 114b restores the number of repetitions and the divisor RWM (step S716). Then, the calculation means 114b performs an update process for subtracting 1 from the number of repetitions (step S717), and determines whether the number of repetitions is 0 (step S718). If it is determined that the number of repetitions is not 0 (NO in step S718), the process proceeds to step S709.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of repetitions is 0 (YES in step S718), the calculation unit 114b determines whether the value of the ratio display work area is greater than 100 (step S719). If it is determined that the value of the ratio display work area is not greater than 100 (NO in step S719), the process returns to the ratio calculation processing procedure in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the ratio display work area is greater than 100 (YES in step S719), the ratio does not exceed 100, and the calculation means 114b determines that the ratio calculation has not been performed correctly. The work area is cleared and the value is set to 0 (step S720), and the process returns to each ratio calculation processing procedure of FIG.

3.3.5.1.1 100-times Processing The 100-times processing (step S703) of FIG. 42 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The calculation means 114b acquires the initial value setting and the RWM address of the calculation work area (step S731). Here, as the initial value setting, the number of bytes of the dividend acquired in step S673 of FIG. 41 is set as the number of repetitions. Specifically, when the ratio calculation count is 0, the number of dividend bytes “4” (the number of bytes in the storage area storing the total number of advantageous section games in FIG. 9 “4”) is set as the number of repetitions. . When the ratio calculation count is 1, the number of bytes “3” of the dividend (the number of bytes “3” in the storage area for storing the number of consecutive-paid-off items in FIG. 9) is set as the number of repetitions. When the ratio calculation number is 2, the number of bytes of the dividend “3” (the number of bytes “3” in the storage area storing the accumulated PS of the accumulated PS in FIG. 9) is set as the number of repetitions. When the ratio calculation count is 3, the number of bytes of the dividend “4” (the number of bytes “4” in the storage area for storing the total number of consecutive feature payouts in FIG. 9) is set as the number of repetitions. When the ratio calculation count is 4, the number of bytes “4” of the dividend (the number of bytes “4” in the storage area storing the total cumulative number of payouts in FIG. 9) is set as the number of repetitions.

  Subsequently, the calculation unit 114b acquires a 1-byte value of the dividend RWM address (step S732). Here, the value of the dividend RWM address is the value of the first byte of the dividend when executed for the first time, the value of the second byte of the dividend when executed for the second time, and so on. When executed the second time, this is the value of the nth byte. However, in the dividend RWM, if the ratio calculation count is 0, the storage area corresponding to the dividend information “advantageous section game count” (the storage area corresponding to the total cumulative advantage section game count in FIG. 9) and the ratio calculation count are In the case of 1, when the storage information corresponding to the dividend information “the number of consecutive feature payouts in the latest 6000 games” (the storage region corresponding to the number of consecutive feature payouts in FIG. 9) and the ratio calculation count is 2, If the storage area corresponding to the dividend information “the number of bonuses to be paid in the last 6000 games” (the storage area corresponding to the number of bonuses to be paid in FIG. 9) and the ratio calculation count is 3, the dividend information “cumulative game” Storage area corresponding to the total number of consecutive feature payouts in FIG. 9 (storage area corresponding to the total cumulative number of consecutive feature payouts in FIG. 9). "Is a storage area (a storage area corresponding to the total number of paid-out items in FIG. 9).

  Subsequently, the computing means 114b multiplies the 1-byte value of the acquired dividend RWM address by 100, and stores the upper byte value in the H register and the lower byte value in the L register (step S733).

  Then, the calculation means 114b adds the value of the L register and the value of the D register, sets the addition result in the calculation work area, and stores the value of the H register in the D register (step S734). However, when it is executed for the first time, it is stored in the first byte of the arithmetic work area, and when it is executed for the second time, it is stored in the second byte of the arithmetic work area. In this case, it is stored in the nth byte of the calculation work area.

  The computing unit 114b determines whether or not a carriage has occurred (whether a carry has occurred) in the computation result of adding the value of the L register and the value of the D register (step S735). When it is determined that the calculation result is not a carry-on (NO in step S735), the process proceeds to step S737. On the other hand, when it is determined that the calculation result is a carryon (YES in step S735), the calculation unit 114b updates the value of the D register by adding 1 to the value of the D register (step S736). The process proceeds to step S737.

  In step S737, the calculation unit 114b performs an update process of subtracting 1 from the number of repetitions. Then, the calculation unit 114b determines whether or not the number of repetitions is 0 (step S738). If it is determined that the number of repetitions is not 0 (NO in step S738), the process returns to step S732. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of repetitions is 0 (YES in step S738), the calculation unit 114b sets the value of the D register corresponding to the most significant byte of the calculation result and the value of the dividend RWM address of 3 bytes. If the value of the dividend RWM address is 4 bytes, the 5th byte of the computation work area is set (step S739). Then, the process returns to the processing procedure of the ratio calculation process of FIG.

3.3.5.1.2 Shift Processing The shift processing (steps S708 and S709) in FIG. 42 will be described with reference to FIG. However, the shift process of FIG. 42 is performed on the least significant bit of the A register corresponding to the least significant bit of the sixth byte and the fifth to first bytes of the arithmetic work area.

  The computing means 114b initializes the most significant byte including the A register (step S751), and rotates the 1st to 5th bytes in the computation work area to the left (upper bit side) by 1 bit (step S752). As a result, the least significant bit of the A register, the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the computation work area, and the upper 7 bits of the 1st byte of the computation work area are 1 byte from the 5th byte of the computation work area before rotation. The bits up to the eye are stored. Then, the process returns to the processing procedure of the ratio calculation process of FIG.

3.3.5.1.3 Subtraction Processing The subtraction processing (step S711) in FIG. 42 will be described using FIG.

  The calculation means 114b subtracts the upper 2 bytes and lower 2 bytes of the divisor from the data from the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area in the subtraction determination part (step S756), and then subtracts. A value corresponding to the carry flag is subtracted from the data of the least significant bit of the A register in the determination part (step S757). Then, the process returns to the processing procedure of the ratio calculation process of FIG. However, when the data from the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area is equal to or higher than the data of the upper 2 bytes and the lower 2 bytes of the divisor, the value corresponding to the carry flag is 0. On the other hand, if the data from the 5th byte to the 2nd byte of the calculation work area is not equal to or higher than the data of the upper 2 bytes and the lower 2 bytes of the divisor, the value corresponding to the carry flag is 1.

3.3.6 Each Ratio Display Setting Each ratio display setting (step S556) in FIG. 33 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The display control means 115 determines whether or not there is an E4 error (step S771). If it is determined that the error is an E4 error (YES in step S771), the display control unit 115 displays all of the lighting-enabled locations at the first, tenth, hundredth, and thousandth positions of the ratio display. $ FF (hexadecimal notation) corresponding to lighting is set (step S772). Note that the setting values for the first, tenth, hundredth, and thousandth positions of the ratio indicator are the first and tenth positions of the ratio indicator 69 in the 7-segment display process in step S447 of FIG. These are used to turn on or off the hundreds or thousands of lightable locations A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and DP.

  On the other hand, if it is not determined that the error is an E4 error (NO in step S771), the display control unit 115 performs a ratio display data acquisition process that will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 47 (step S773).

  Subsequent to step S773, the display control means 115 determines whether or not the ratio display number is 1 corresponding to the consecutive character ratio (6000 games) or 2 corresponding to the character ratio (6000 games) (step S77). S774). When it is determined that the ratio display number is 1 or 2 (YES in step S774), the process proceeds to step S775, and when it is determined that the ratio display number is neither 1 nor 2 (NO in step S774), step The process proceeds to S776.

  In step S775, the display control means 115 determines whether or not the 6000 arrival flag is 0 (whether the number of games after installation or after RWM clear has not reached 6000) (step S775). When it is determined that the 6000 arrival flag is not 0 (NO in step S775), the process proceeds to step S779. On the other hand, when it is determined that the 6000 arrival flag is 0 (YES in step S775), the process proceeds to step S777.

  In step S776, the display control means 115 determines whether or not the total number of games is greater than 174999. If it is determined that the total number of games is greater than 174999 (YES in step S776), the process proceeds to step S779. If it is determined that the total number of games is 174999 or less (NO in step S776). ), The process proceeds to step S777. The total number of games 174999 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.

  In step S777, the display control unit 115 determines whether or not the ratio blink flag is 0. When it is determined that the ratio blink flag is 0 (YES in step S777), the process proceeds to step S779. On the other hand, when it is determined that the ratio blink flag is not 0 (NO in step S777), the display control means 115 clears the hundreds and thousands of the ratio display 69 to set the value to 0 (step S778). The process proceeds to step S779.

  When the ratio display number is 1 or 2, until the total number of games after installation or after RWM clear reaches 6000, when the ratio flashing flag is 0, the ratio indicator in step S802 of FIG. In the 7-segment display processing in step S447 in FIG. 30, the setting values for the hundreds and thousands are set to the hundreds and thousands of lightable locations A, B, C, D, E, Used to turn on / off F, G, and DP. When the ratio blink flag is 1, the setting values for the hundreds and thousandss of the ratio display in step S778 are the hundreds of the ratio display 69 in the 7-segment display process in step S447 of FIG. , Thousands of places that can be turned on A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP are used to turn on or off, and turn onable places A, B, C, D, E, F, G, All of the DP goes out.

  Also, when the ratio display number is 0, 3 or 4, until the total number of games after installation or after RWM clear reaches 175000, the ratio display in step S802 of FIG. In the 7-segment display process in step S447 of FIG. 30, the set values for the hundreds and thousands of the display units can be turned on at the hundreds and thousands of lighting-enabled locations A, B, C, D, Used to turn on, turn off, E, F, G, DP. When the ratio blink flag is 1, the setting values for the hundreds and thousandss of the ratio display in step S778 are the hundreds of the ratio display 69 in the 7-segment display process in step S447 of FIG. , Thousands of places that can be turned on A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP are used to turn on or off, and turn onable places A, B, C, D, E, F, G, All of the DP goes out.

  In step S779, the display control unit 115 acquires data corresponding to the ratio display number from the ratio comparison data table. Here, the ratio comparison data table includes a ratio display number, a ratio type, and a ratio specified value (a value that is determined to be fraudulent, and if the ratio is equal to or greater than the ratio specified value, fraud is performed. Is determined). The ratio type “advantageous section ratio (cumulative)” and the specified ratio value “70” are stored in association with the ratio display number 0, and the ratio type “continuous actor ratio (6000) is associated with the ratio display number 1. Game) ”and a specified ratio value“ 70 ”are stored, and a ratio type“ community ratio (6000 games) ”and a specified ratio value“ 70 ”are stored in association with the ratio display number 2. . Further, the ratio type “continuous actor ratio (cumulative)” and the ratio specified value “70” are stored in association with the ratio display number 3, and the ratio type “object ratio is associated with the ratio display number 4. (Cumulative) ”and a specified ratio value“ 70 ”are stored. The ratio specified value 70 is an example, and the ratio is not limited to this. The ratio does not need to be the same between the ratios.

  Subsequent to step S779, the display control unit 115 compares the data corresponding to the ratio display number acquired in step S779 (specified ratio value) with the value of the ratio RWM corresponding to the ratio display number (step S780). . Here, when the ratio display number is 0, the value of the ratio RWM corresponding to the ratio display number is the advantageous section ratio (cumulative) value (the value of the storage area corresponding to the total cumulative advantageous section ratio in FIG. 9). Yes, when the ratio display number is 1, it is the value of the continuous character ratio (6000 games) (the value of the storage area corresponding to the continuous character ratio of the cumulative PS in FIG. 9), and when the ratio display number is 2, In the case of the value of the bonus rate (6000 games) (the value of the storage area corresponding to the bonus rate of the cumulative PS in FIG. 9) and the ratio display number is 3, the value of the continuous bonus rate (cumulative) (see FIG. 9). And the ratio display number is 4, the value of the feature ratio (cumulative) (the storage area corresponding to the total cumulative feature ratio in FIG. 9). Value).

  Subsequent to step S780, the display control unit 115 determines whether or not the determination result is a carriage (step S781). When it is determined that the determination result is Carryon (that is, the value of the ratio RWM is less than the acquired data (the specified value of the ratio)) (YES in step S781), the processing for external use area interruption processing in FIG. Return to procedure.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the determination result is not a carriage (that is, the value of the ratio RWM is equal to or greater than the acquired data (the specified value of the ratio)) (NO in step S781), the display control unit 115 displays the ratio blink flag. It is determined whether it is 0 (step S782). If it is determined that the ratio flashing flag is 0 (YES in step S782), the process returns to the processing routine for the outside use area interrupt process in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the ratio blink flag is not 0 (NO in step S782), the display control means 115 clears the tenth place and the first place of the ratio display 69 to set the value to 0 (step S783). Returning to the processing procedure of the external use area interrupt processing of FIG.

  When the value of the ratio RWM is equal to or greater than the specified value of the ratio, when the flag is 0, the setting values for the first and tenth positions of the ratio indicator in step S811 of FIG. In the 7-segment display process in S447, it is used to turn on or turn off the 1st and 10th places where the ratio display 69 can be turned on A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and DP. When the ratio flashing flag is 1, the setting values for the first and tenth positions of the ratio display in step S783 are the first position of the ratio display 69 in the 7-segment display process in step S447 of FIG. Are used to turn on or turn off the illuminable places A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and DP of the tenth place, and the lit up places A, B, C, D, E, F, G, All of the DP goes out.

  The ratio display data acquisition (step S773) in FIG. 46 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The display control means 115 acquires display data and display determination data corresponding to the ratio display number from the ratio display data table (step S801). The ratio display data table stores ratio display numbers, ratio types, display data, and display determination data in association with each other. Corresponding to the ratio display number “0”, the ratio type “advantageous section ratio (cumulative)”, display data “$ 27F7” (hexadecimal number notation) (00100111 11110111 in binary notation, and thousands place can be turned on) , B, C, and F are lit, and the hundreds of places can be lit, A, B, C, E, F, G, and DP are lit), and display determination data “1” is stored. Corresponding to the ratio display number “1”, the ratio type “continuous character ratio (6000 games)”, display data “$ 7DFC” (hexadecimal notation) (01111101 11111100 in binary notation, and thousands can be lit) The locations A, C, D, E, F, and G are turned on, and the hundreds of places that can be lit are illuminated locations C, D, E, F, G, and DP), and display determination data “1” is stored. Corresponding to the ratio display number “2”, the ratio type “actual object ratio (6000 games)”, display data “$ 27FC” (hexadecimal notation) (00100111 11111100 in binary notation, and thousands can be lit. A, B, C, and F are turned on, and hundreds of places can be turned on C, D, E, F, G, and DP are turned on), and display determination data “1” is stored. Corresponding to the ratio display number “3”, the ratio type “Continuous character ratio (cumulative)”, display data “$ 7DD8” (hexadecimal notation) (01111101 11011000 in binary notation, and thousands can be lit) A, C, D, E, F, and G are turned on, and hundreds of places can be turned on, D, E, G, and DP are turned on), and display determination data “1” is stored. Corresponding to the ratio display number “4”, the type of ratio “Continuous character ratio (cumulative)”, display data “$ 27D8” (hexadecimal notation) (00100111 11011000 in binary notation, and thousands can be lit) A, B, C, and F are turned on, and hundreds of places can be turned on, and D, E, G, and DP are turned on), and display determination data “1” is stored. However, among the 4-digit values in hexadecimal notation of the display data, the upper 2 digits correspond to the thousands of the ratio display 69, and the lower 2 digits correspond to the hundreds of the ratio display 69. To do. The display determination data is set by the function of the slot machine, and the display determination data “1” uses the calculated value in the ratio calculation process for displaying the tenth place and the first place of the ratio indicator 69. For example, in a slot machine that does not have a function related to the advantageous section, the display determination data stored in association with the ratio display number “0” is “0”.

  The display control means 115 sets the display data acquired in step S801 to the hundreds and thousands of the ratio indicator (step S802). For example, when the ratio display number is 0, $ F7 (hexadecimal notation) is set at the hundreds place of the ratio indicator, and $ 27 (hexadecimal notation) is set at the thousandth place.

  Then, the display control means 115 sets $ 4040 (hexadecimal notation) in the display data (step S803). This process is a process for setting the ratio display at the 1st place and the 10th place of the ratio display 69 in the ratio display number whose display determination data is 0 to “-” (only the turnable portion G is lit). is there. By performing the process of step S803 before step S804, which will be described later, the process of step S803 is also performed in the slot machine in which the display determination data for all ratio display numbers is 1. In step S803, the program for displaying “-” used in the case of a model that does not have a function related to the advantageous section has a function related to the advantageous section. This is a step for avoiding a so-called “unused program” that will not be executed.

  Then, the display control unit 115 determines whether or not the display determination data acquired in step S801 is 0 (step S804). When it is determined that the display determination data is 0 (YES in step S804), the display control unit 115 sets the display data to the first place and the tenth place of the ratio display. $ 40 (hexadecimal notation) is set in each of the tens place and the tens place (step S811). Then, the process returns to the processing procedure of each ratio display setting in FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the display determination data is not 0 (NO in step S804), the display control unit 115 acquires the value of the ratio RWM address corresponding to the ratio display number (step S805). Here, when the ratio display number is 0, the value of the advantageous section ratio (cumulative) (the value of the storage area corresponding to the total cumulative advantageous section ratio in FIG. 9) is acquired. When the value of the accessory ratio (6000 games) (the value of the storage area corresponding to the continuous PS ratio of the cumulative PS in FIG. 9) is acquired and the ratio display number is 2, the value of the accessory ratio (6000 games) ( 9 is acquired, and when the ratio display number is 3, the value of the continuous feature ratio (cumulative) (the total cumulative feature ratio of FIG. 9) is obtained. When the ratio display number is 4, the value of the accessory ratio (cumulative) (the value of the storage area corresponding to the total cumulative accessory ratio in FIG. 9) is acquired.

  Subsequent to step S805, the display control unit 115 sets $ 6F6F (hexadecimal notation) in the display data (step S806). In this process, when the value of the ratio RWM is 100, the ratio display at the first place and the tenth place of the ratio indicator 69 is set to “99” (lightable places other than the lightable places E and DP are turned on). Process.

  The display control means 115 determines whether or not the value of the ratio RWM address is 100 (step S807). When it is determined that the value of the ratio RWM is 100 (YES in step S807), the display control means 115 sets the display data to the first place and the tenth place of the ratio indicator. $ 6F (hexadecimal notation) is set at the first place and the tenth place, respectively (step S811). Then, the process returns to the processing procedure of each ratio display setting in FIG.

  When it is determined that the RWM value of the ratio indicator is not 100 (NO in step S807), the display control unit 115 divides the value of the ratio RWM address by 10 (decimal notation) to calculate the quotient and the remainder ( Step S808). Note that the value in the decimal notation of the quotient is a tens place value in the decimal notation of the value of the ratio RWM address, and the value in the decimal notation of the remainder is one in the decimal notation of the value of the ratio RWM address. The value of the place.

  Then, the display control means 115 performs a display data acquisition process which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 48 for acquiring tens place display data (step S809), and then obtains the place place display data. Details will be described later with reference to FIG. 48 (step S810). Then, the display control means 115 sets the display data to the first and tenth places of the ratio indicator (step S811), and returns to the processing procedure of each ratio display setting of FIG.

  The display data acquisition process (steps S809 and S810) in FIG. 47 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The display control means 115 acquires the lower 4 bits of the calculated data in step S808 in FIG. 47 (step S831). Here, in the display data acquisition process related to the acquisition of the tenth place display data, the lower 4 bits of the quotient value are acquired, and in the display data acquisition process related to the acquisition of the first place display data, The bit value of the lower 4 bits of the remainder value is obtained. Since the value of the ratio RWM address is 0 or more and less than 100, the quotient value and the remainder value are 0 or more and 9 or less in decimal notation, and can be represented by 4 bits in binary notation. For this reason, the lower 4 bits of the calculated data are acquired.

  Subsequently, the display control means 115 sets an 8-bit bit value corresponding to the lower 4 bits acquired in step S831 as display data (step S832), and the processing procedure of the ratio display data acquisition process in FIG. Return.

  However, if the lower 4 bits are 0000 (binary notation), the display data is hexadecimal notation $ 3F (binary notation 00111111, lighting possible locations A, B, C, D, E, F are lit) Is set, and the lower 4 bits are 0001 (binary notation), the display data is set to $ 06 in hexadecimal notation (000010010 in binary notation, lighting possible locations B and C are lit), and lower 4 When the bit is 0010 (binary notation), the display data is set to $ 5B in hexadecimal notation (01011011 in binary notation, lighting possible locations A, B, D, E, G are lit), and the lower 4 When the bit is 0011 (binary number notation), the display data is set to $ 4F in hexadecimal notation (01001111 in the binary notation, lighting possible locations A, B, C, D, G are lit), and the lower 4 Bit Is 0100 (binary notation), the display data is set to $ 66 in hexadecimal notation (01100110 in binary notation, lighting possible locations B, C, F, G are lit), and the lower 4 bits are 0101 In the case of (binary notation), the display data is set to $ 6D in hexadecimal notation (01101101 in binary notation, lighting possible locations A, C, D, F, and G are lit), and the lower 4 bits are 0110 In the case of (binary number notation), $ 7D in hexadecimal notation (01111101 in binary notation, lighting positions A, C, D, E, F, G are lit) is set in the display data, and the lower 4 bits Is 0111 (binary notation), $ 27 in hexadecimal notation (00100111 in binary notation, lighting possible locations A, B, C, F are lit) is set in the display data, and the lower 4 bits are 1000. ( In the case of (hexadecimal notation), the display data is set to $ 7F in hexadecimal notation (0111111 in binary notation, lighting possible locations A, B, C, D, E, F, G are lit), and the lower 4 bits Is 1001 (binary notation), $ 6F in hexadecimal notation (01101111 in binary notation, lighting possible locations A, B, C, D, F, G are lit) is set in the display data.

4). Sub Error Notification Process The error notification process in the sub CPU 71 will be described with reference to FIG.

  It is determined whether or not the sub control command receiving means 201 of the sub CPU 71 has received the transmission command in step S439 of FIG. 30 from the sub control command transmitting means 111 of the main CPU 61 (step S851). If it is determined that a transmission command has not been received (NO in step S851), the process ends.

  If it is determined that the transmission command has been received (YES in step S851), it is determined whether the transmission command is in the door state (step S852). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the transmission command is for a door state related to opening and closing of the door (front door 5).

  When it is determined that the transmission command is in the door state (YES in step S852), it is determined whether or not the door state is the open state of the front door 5 (step S853). If it is determined that the front door 5 is in the open state (YES in step S853), an error notification is performed (step S854). Specifically, sound is output from a speaker, an image is output from the liquid crystal display 27, and an effect lamp is lit and blinks. Then, the process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the front door 5 is not open, that is, is closed (NO in step S853), the error notification is cleared (initialized) (step S855). Specifically, the sound output from the speaker is stopped, the image output of the liquid crystal display 27 is stopped, and the lighting and blinking of the effect lamp are stopped. Then, the process ends.

  If it is determined in step S852 that the transmission command is not in the door state (NO in step S852), error notification is performed (step S856). Specifically, a voice notification of “error” is performed from a speaker, and an error code such as “E2” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27.

  Subsequent to step S856, it is determined whether or not information indicating an error state in step S132 of FIG. 20 has been received (step S857). When it is determined that the information indicating the error state is not received (NO in step S857), the standby state is entered. On the other hand, when it is determined that information indicating an error state is received (YES in step S857), error re-notification is performed (step S858).

  Subsequent to step S858, it is determined whether an error cancellation event (signal) is received (step S859). If it is determined that an error cancellation event (signal) has been received (YES in step S859), the error notification is cleared (initialized) (step S860). That is, it returns to the state where error notification is not performed. Then, the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that an error cancellation event (signal) has not been received (NO in step S859), the process ends.

  Next, the relationship between the display of the ratio display (role monitor) 69, the display of the payout display 46, and the state of the main CPU 61 will be described with reference to FIG.

  It is assumed that the main CPU 61 is in a game advanceable state and no error has occurred. At this time, the payout display control means 118 of the main CPU 61 controls the payout display 46 according to the progress of the game, and displays according to the progress of the game such as the display of the number of medals to be paid out.

  The display control means 115 of the main CPU 61 displays the ratio display (role monitor) 69 in the normal display mode (first lighting mode) described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12 when displaying the game history information. Perform normal control to control. As a result, the display item (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative) is displayed on the ratio display (role monitor) 69 for 5 seconds as described in the control contents of the role monitor in FIG. Display item (2) Continuous character ratio (6000 games) is displayed for 5 seconds, Display item (3) Character ratio (6000 games) is displayed for 5 seconds, Display item (4) Continuous character ratio (cumulative) Is displayed. At this time, a normal display mode (first lighting mode) specifically displayed on the ratio display (role monitor) 69 is shown in a 7-segment display of the role monitor. However, the normal display mode (first lighting mode) is a part (a thousandth place, a tenth place, and a first place in the present embodiment) among the plurality of turnable places of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69. The other lightable places except for the lightable place DP) are used.

  When the power is turned off while the display item (4) continuous character ratio (cumulative total) is being displayed, the main CPU 61 is turned off, and the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 and the payout indicator 46 are turned off. To do.

  Thereafter, when the power is turned on and the specific event detection means 112 of the main CPU 61 detects an RWM error (corresponding to a predetermined specific event among the specific events), the main CPU 61 enters an E4 error state, and the game stop means 113 The game is stopped so that no progress can be made. At this time, the payout display 46 is controlled by the payout display control means 118 of the main CPU 61 and displays the error code E4. The contents specifically displayed on the payout display 46 at this time are shown in a 7-segment display.

  The display control means 115 of the main CPU 61 controls the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 in the special display mode (second lighting mode) described with reference to FIG. 13 when an RWM error is detected. Perform special control. At this time, a special display mode (second lighting mode) specifically displayed on the ratio indicator (ratio monitor) is shown in the 7-segment display of the role monitor. However, the special display mode (second lighting mode) is a part of the ratio indicator (role ratio monitor) 69 that is not used in the normal display mode (first lighting mode) among the plurality of possible lighting positions (the first lighting mode). In the present embodiment, at least one thousandth place, tenth place, and first place turnable spot DP) is used, and in this embodiment, a plurality of turnable places of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 is used. is there. As described above, when the RWM error occurs, the ratio indicator (ratio monitor) performs special control to be in a special display mode (second lighting mode), so that the front door 5 is opened and the inside of the housing 3 is confirmed. It is possible to know that an RWM error has occurred without checking the error code displayed on the payout indicator 46 on the front side of the front door 5 each time. That is, the occurrence of the RWM error can be known while the front door 5 is opened and the inside of the housing is confirmed, and the troublesomeness of having to look at the payout display 46 can be reduced.

  When the power is turned off, the main CPU 61 is turned off, and the ratio display (role monitor) 69 and the payout display 46 are turned off.

  A setting change state transition operation is performed to cancel the RWM error, and the main CPU 61 shifts to the setting change state. At this timing, the RWM error is canceled and the game stop by the game stop unit 113 is released. The payout display 46 is controlled by the payout display control means 118 of the main CPU 61 according to the progress of the game, and a display according to the progress of the game such as a display of the number of payout of medals is performed. The display of the payout display 46 in the setting change state can be variously determined, and all 7 segments of the payout display 46 may be turned on so that the setting change state can be understood.

  Further, the display control means 115 of the main CPU 61 performs the normal display mode (first lighting mode) described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12 without performing the above-described special control when shifting to the setting change state. Normal control for controlling the ratio display (role monitor) 69 is performed. Thereby, the ratio display (role monitor) 69 starts from display of the display item (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative) as described in the control contents of the role monitor in FIG. (1) The advantageous section ratio (cumulative) is displayed for 5 seconds, and then the display item (2) the continuous character ratio (6000 games) is displayed for 5 seconds, and the display item (3) the character ratio (6000 games) is displayed. Displayed for 5 seconds, and the display item (4) continuous character ratio (cumulative) is displayed for 5 seconds. At this time, a normal display mode (first lighting mode) specifically displayed on the ratio display (role monitor) 69 is shown in a 7-segment display of the role monitor. However, since the RWM is cleared, the upper two digits (thousands and hundreds) of the ratio display (role monitor) 69 are flashed and the lower two digits of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 ( 00 is displayed in the tenth place and the first place.

  When the setting is confirmed in the setting changeable state, the main CPU 61 enters the game progressable state.

  The transition of the setting change state and the setting confirmation will be described. The administrator opens the front door 5, inserts a setting change key into the key cylinder and rotates with the power switch 50 a being OFF, and turns the setting change key switch (corresponding to “special operation means”) 50 b to ON. Perform the operation. In this state, the power switch is turned on. At this time, the main CPU 61 (special operation detection means (not shown) included in the main CPU 61) detects an operation of turning on the setting change key switch 50b, and shifts to the setting change state. This setting change state means that the setting control means (corresponding to “setting means”) 101 is stepwise according to the player's advantage based on the operation of the setting change button (corresponding to “setting operation means”) 50c. The setting value can be changed by setting any one of a plurality of setting values (1 to 6 in the present embodiment) provided in.

  Then, the setting control unit 101 cyclically switches the setting value of the winning probability between setting 1 and setting 6 for each operation of the setting change button 50c by the administrator. The administrator operates the start switch 19 when the set value of the winning probability reaches a desired value by operating the setting change button 50c. When the setting control means 101 detects an operation on the start switch 19, the setting value Confirm. Then, the administrator rotates the setting change key inserted in the key cylinder to turn off the setting change key switch 50b. When the setting control unit 101 detects that the setting change key switch 50b is turned off, the setting control unit 101 executes the setting change process. finish.

  In this embodiment, the timing for returning to the normal control of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 after detection of the RWM error is assumed to be the timing for shifting to the setting change state after the occurrence of the RWM error. Alternatively, the timing may be a setting re-input timing after transition to the setting change state, a detection timing of the setting confirmation operation after transition to the setting change state, a timing to cancel the RWM error, a timing to end the setting change state, or the like.

  Subsequently, another relationship between the display of the ratio display (role monitor) 69, the display of the payout display 46, and the state of the main CPU 61 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the process is the same as that shown in FIG. 58 until the power is turned off first and then the power is turned on, the description thereof is omitted here.

  When the power is turned on and the specific event detection means 112 of the main CPU 61 detects an error other than an RWM error (specific event different from a predetermined specific event among the specific events, here, an E0 error), the main CPU 61 detects an E0 error. The game stop means 113 stops the game so that the game cannot proceed. At this time, the payout display 46 displays the error code E0 under the control of the payout display control means 118 of the main CPU 61. The contents specifically displayed on the payout display 46 at this time are shown in a 7-segment display.

  Further, in the case of an error other than the RWM error (E0 error in this case), the data for displaying the advantageous section ratio (cumulative total) and the like is not necessarily broken, so the display control means 115 of the main CPU 61 is shown in FIG. And the normal control which controls the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 in the normal display mode (first lighting mode) described with reference to FIG. 12 is performed. As a result, the ratio display (role monitor) 69 starts from displaying the display item (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative) as described in the control contents of the role monitor in FIG. (1) The advantageous section ratio (cumulative) is displayed for 5 seconds, and then the display item (2) the continuous character ratio (6000 games) is displayed for 5 seconds, and the display item (3) the character ratio (6000 games) is displayed. Displayed for 5 seconds, display item (4) continuous feature ratio (cumulative) is displayed for 5 seconds, display item (5) feature ratio (cumulative) is displayed for 5 seconds, display item (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative) ) Is displayed for 5 seconds. At this time, a normal display mode (first lighting mode) specifically displayed on the ratio display (role monitor) 69 is shown in a 7-segment display of the role monitor.

  After that, when the error is released, the main CPU 61 enters a game progressable state. At this time, the payout display 46 is controlled by the payout display control means 118 of the main CPU 61 according to the game progress, the error code E0 disappears, and the display according to the game progress such as the display of the number of payout of medals is displayed. Done. It should be noted that an error other than the RWM error (E0 error in this case) can be canceled by operating the reset switch, in the present embodiment, the setting change button.

  Subsequently, a modified example of the relationship between the display of the ratio display (role monitor) 69, the display of the payout display 46, and the state of the main CPU 61 will be described with reference to FIG.

  It is assumed that the main CPU 61 is in a game advanceable state and no error has occurred. At this time, the payout display control means 118 of the main CPU 61 controls the payout display 46 according to the progress of the game, and displays according to the progress of the game such as the display of the number of medals to be paid out.

  The display control means 115 of the main CPU 61 displays the ratio display (role monitor) 69 in the normal display mode (first lighting mode) described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12 when displaying the game history information. Perform normal control to control. As a result, the display item (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative) is displayed on the ratio display (role monitor) 69 for 5 seconds as described in the control contents of the role monitor in FIG. Display item (2) Continuous character ratio (6000 games) is displayed for 5 seconds, Display item (3) Character ratio (6000 games) is displayed for 5 seconds, Display item (4) Continuous character ratio (cumulative) Is displayed. At this time, a normal display mode (first lighting mode) specifically displayed on the ratio display (role monitor) 69 is shown in a 7-segment display of the role monitor.

  Then, it is assumed that an error other than an RWM error (here, an E0 error) has occurred during the display of the display item (4) continuous character ratio (cumulative). The main CPU 61 enters an E0 error state, and the game stop means 113 stops the game so that the game cannot proceed. At this time, the payout display 46 displays the error code E0 under the control of the payout display control means 118 of the main CPU 61. The contents specifically displayed on the payout display 46 at this time are shown in a 7-segment display.

  Further, the display control means 115 of the main CPU 61 causes a special display mode (second lighting mode) when an error other than an RWM error (here, an E0 error) occurs and the display item is switched for the first time after the occurrence of the error is detected. Then, the special control for controlling the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 is performed, and this special control is continued until the display item is switched for the first time after the error is released. In the special display mode (second lighting mode) in this case, abbreviations for identifying the display items are displayed in the thousand and hundreds of the ratio indicator, and in the thousands and hundreds. Each dot part (lighting enabled part DP) lights up, and the ratio of display items is displayed in the tenth place and the first place, and each dot part (lighting possible part DP) in the tenth place and the first place is displayed. ) Lights up. As a result, the display item (4) continuous character ratio (cumulative) displayed on the ratio display (role monitor) 69 when an error occurs is displayed for a total of 5 seconds in the normal display mode (first lighting mode). The display item (5) the ratio of the actors (cumulative) is displayed in a special display mode (second lighting mode) for 5 seconds, and then the display item (1) advantageous section ratio (cumulative) ) Is displayed in the special display mode (second lighting mode) for 5 seconds, and the display item (2) the continuous character ratio (6000 games) is displayed in the special display mode (second lighting mode).

  After that, when the error is released, the main CPU 61 enters a game progressable state. At this time, the payout display 46 is controlled by the payout display control means 118 of the main CPU 61 according to the game progress, the error code E0 disappears, and the display according to the game progress such as the display of the number of payout of medals is displayed. Done.

  The display control means 115 of the main CPU 61 performs normal control for controlling the ratio display (role monitor) 69 in the normal display mode (first lighting mode) when the display item is switched only after the error is released. . Thereby, the display item (2) continuous character ratio (6000 games) displayed on the ratio display (role monitor) 69 at the time of error cancellation remains in the special display mode (second lighting mode) for a total of 5 seconds. It is displayed continuously until it is displayed, and the display item (3) character ratio (6000 games) is displayed for 5 seconds in the normal display mode (first lighting mode), and the display item (4) continuous character ratio (cumulative) ) Is displayed for 5 seconds in the normal display mode (first lighting mode).

  By doing so, the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 is specially controlled in a special display mode (second lighting mode) when any error occurs, so that the front door is opened and the inside of the housing is confirmed. It is possible to know that an error has occurred without checking the error code displayed on the payout display 46 on the front side of the front door. That is, it is possible to know the occurrence of some error while opening the front door and confirming the inside of the housing, and it is possible to reduce the troublesomeness of having to look at the payout display. In the modification, the display control of the display items displayed on the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 is maintained, so that even if an error occurs, the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 is maintained. The occurrence of an error can be known while confirming the display contents of the display items.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 61, a modification of the display content of the ratio display (role monitor) 69 when an RWM error occurs and the display content of the ratio display (role monitor) 69 regardless of the type of error. explain. The display mode according to the display method of FIG. 61 corresponds to the second lighting mode (special display mode), and the display control corresponds to special control.

  Modifications 1 to 4 relate to the display of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 when the RWM error occurs, and the display content in the 7-segment display column in FIG. 61 is the ratio when the RWM error occurs. It is a specific display example of the display device 69.

  In the first modification, each of the ratio display 69 at the thousandth, hundredth, tenth, and first places can be turned on among the lighting-enabled locations A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and DP. Only the lightable portions G and DP are lit (“−” display + dot lighting).

  In the second modification, the ratio indicator 69 has one of the thousands, hundreds, tens, and first places, and can be turned on from among the lighting-enabled locations A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and DP. Only the lightable locations A, D, E, F, G, and DP are lit (“E” display + dot lighting).

  In the third modification, the ratio display 69 has a thousandth place, a hundredth place, a tenth place, and a first place. Only the lightable spot DP is lit (no display + dot lit).

  In the fourth modification, the identification display (corresponding to the display items in FIG. 11) among the lighting possible locations A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP at the thousandth and hundredth positions of the ratio indicator 69. The illuminable point and the illuminable point DP corresponding to the abbreviation) are lit, and in the tenth place, the first place, the lit place A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP can be turned on. Only locations A, D, E, F, G, and DP are lit (identification display + “E” display + dot lighting). In the tenth place and the first place, only the turnable places G and DP among the turnable places A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and DP may be turned on (identification display). + "-" Display + dot lighting).

  Modification 5 relates to the display of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 when an error occurs regardless of the type of error, and the display content of the 7-segment display column in FIG. 61 is the ratio when an error occurs. It is a specific display example of the display device 69.

  In the modified example 5, at the thousandth place and hundredth place of the ratio indicator 69, the identification display among the lighting possible locations A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP (corresponding to the display items in FIG. 11). The lightable spot and the lightable spot DP corresponding to the abbreviation) are turned on, and in the tenth place and the first place, the ratio among the lightable places A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP is set. Corresponding lighting possible places and lighting possible places DP are lit (identification display + ratio display + dot lighting). This modified example 5 is used when an error occurs in FIG.

  61 is compared with the display contents of the 7-segment display field of FIG. 11 or FIG. 12, the RWM error occurrence and the modification examples of Modification 1 to Modification 4 of FIG. In the special control at the time of occurrence of error 5, all of the lit, DP, and ONE lit positions DP of the ratio display 69 which is not turned on in the normal control of FIG. 11 or FIG. 12 are turned on. It has become so. As a result, it is possible to easily recognize that an RWM error has occurred in Modification 1 to Modification 4 or that an error has occurred in Modification 5 from the display of the ratio indicator 69. become.

  In addition, the 1st lighting mode (normal lighting mode) displayed by normal control and the 2nd lighting mode (special lighting mode) displayed by special control are not restricted to what was mentioned above. The 1st lighting mode uses lighting possible places other than some lighting possible places among the lighting possible places of ratio indicator 69, and the 2nd lighting mode is among lighting possible places of ratio indicator 69. Any part that can be turned on may be used.

  Next, the arrangement relationship of components (connector, ratio display, main CPU, IC, etc.) mounted on the main control board 63 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  On one surface 63A of the main control board 63, three connectors CN1, CN2, and CN3 are mounted in a region near one edge of the main control board 63, and an edge on the connector CN3 side in a region near the opposite edge to the one edge. One connector CN4 is mounted nearby. Of the connectors CN1, CN2, CN3, and CN4, at least the connector CN1 is formed in the substrate case CS as shown in FIG. 29 (a) showing a schematic cross-sectional view of the main control board 63 in FIG. The exposed connector opening CS1 is exposed to the outside.

  Further, on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, the main CPU 61 is mounted near the edge on the connector CN1 side in the area near the above-mentioned opposing edge. A test mounting area for mounting a test IC or the like is provided between the main CPU 61 and the connector CN4.

  A ratio indicator 69 and ICs 81 and 82 are mounted on the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 between the main CPU 61 and the connector CN1. The ratio indicator 69 is disposed at a position closer to the connector CN1 than the main CPU 61. The ICs 81 and 82 are arranged between the ratio display 69 and the main CPU 61, and as shown in FIG. 62A, the ratio display (in FIG. 62, simply “display (display component)” is described. ) 69, the height from the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 is lower (see the dotted line in FIG. 62A). However, components such as an IC having a height lower than that of the ratio indicator 69 are not disposed between the ratio indicator 69 and the connector CN1. The ratio indicator 69 is preferably arranged between the main CPU 61 and the connector closest to the main CPU 61. The ratio indicator 69 is arranged between the main CPU 61 and the connector corresponding to the connector opening having the longest opening side because the longer the opening side is, the easier it is to insert an illegal member such as a wire. Is preferred.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 62A, the ratio indicator 69 is opposite to one surface (component mounting surface) 63A of the main control board 63 (back surface of the main control board 63 on which no components are mounted). Soldering 69A is performed only on the 63B side, the connector CN1 other than the ratio indicator 69, the main CPU (simply described as “CPU” in FIG. 62) 61, ICs 81 and 82, and the like on the one surface 63A side of the main control board 63 and Soldering CN1A, 61A, 81A, 82A is performed on both sides of the opposite surface 63B. The parts other than the ratio indicator 69 are not soldered on both the one side 63A and the opposite side 63B. For example, the connector CN1 is soldered only on one side, for example, only on the opposite side 63B side. Also good.

  On one surface 63A of the main control board 63, ICs 83, 84, 85, diodes 91, resistance groups 92, 94, transistors 93, and capacitor groups 95 are mounted.

  The ICs 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, the diode 91, the resistor groups 92 and 94, the transistor 93, and the capacitor group 95 are, for example, input of signals to the main CPU 61 and output of signals from the main CPU 61 to external devices. It is a part related to.

  As shown in FIG. 5, from the connector CN1 side to the main CPU 61 side, the connector CN1, the ratio indicator 69, the ICs 81 and 82, and the main CPU 61 are arranged in this order, and the ratio indicator 69 is arranged closer to the connector CN1 than the main CPU 61. The effect of this will be described with reference to FIGS. 62 (b), (c), and (d).

  FIG. 62B is an example different from the embodiment, and the connector CN1, the IC 81, and the main CPU 61 are arranged in this order. In this case, in order to allow the illegal member 180 such as a wire inserted from the connector opening CS1 to reach the main CPU 61, it is necessary to get over the IC 81, but a component having a lower height than a component having a higher height is Since it is easy to get over the unauthorized member 180, it is not difficult for the unauthorized member 180 to reach the main CPU 61 even if there is an IC 81 having a low height between the connector CN 1 and the main CPU 61.

  FIG. 62C is an example different from the embodiment, and the connector CN1, IC 81, ratio display 69, and main CPU 61 are arranged in this order from the connector CN1 side to the main CPU 61 side. In this case, in order to allow the unauthorized member 180 inserted from the connector opening CS1 to reach the main CPU 61, it is necessary to get over the IC 81 and the ratio indicator 69, but the height is higher than that of the lower height. Although it is difficult to get over the illegal member 180, the ratio indicator 69 with the high height of the illegal member 180 is obtained by using the low height IC 81 arranged between the connector CN 1 and the ratio indicator 69. Therefore, even if the IC 81 and the ratio indicator 69 are provided between the connector CN1 and the main CPU 61, it is not difficult for the unauthorized member 180 to reach the main CPU 61.

  FIG. 62D shows an embodiment, in which the connector CN1, the ratio indicator 69, ICs 81 and 82, and the main CPU 61 are arranged in this order from the connector CN1 side to the main CPU 61 side, and the ratio indicator 69 is connected from the main CPU 61 to the connector CN1. (For example, a distance within twice the height of the ratio indicator 69). In this case, in order to allow the unauthorized member 180 inserted from the connector opening CS1 to reach the main CPU 61, it is necessary to get over the ratio indicator 69 and the IC 81, and the ratio display with a height higher than that of a component with a lower height. It is difficult for the fraudulent member 180 to get over the device 69, and since the low-height component is not mounted between the connector CN1 and the high ratio indicator 69, the fraudulent member 180 has a high height. In order to get over the ratio indicator 69, it is not possible to use parts with low height. Since the ratio indicator 69 is arranged at a position closer to the connector CN1 than the main CPU 61, the space that can be used for the illegal member 180 inserted from the connector opening CS1 to get over the ratio indicator 69 is also narrowed. It is difficult for 180 to get over the ratio indicator 69 and it is difficult for the unauthorized member 180 to reach the main CPU 61.

  From the viewpoint of preventing the unauthorized member 180 from using an IC or the like having a height lower than that of the ratio indicator 69 in order to get over the ratio indicator 69, the ratio indicator 69 is connected to the main CPU 61 from the connector CN1. Even if it arrange | positions between the ratio display 69 and main CPU61 instead of arrange | positioning components, such as IC lower than the ratio display 69, between the connector CN1 and the ratio display 69, it arrange | positions in the near position. It is difficult for the unauthorized member 180 to reach the main CPU 61.

  According to the arrangement relationship of the connector CN1, the main CPU 61, the ratio display 69, and the ICs 81 and 82 described with reference to FIG. 5, the ratio display on the substrate case CS sealed so as not to be opened without leaving a trace. By accommodating 69, it is possible to make it difficult for the ratio indicator 69 to be fraudulent, and even if the fraudulent member 180 is inserted through the connector opening CS1 and the fraudulent act is attempted to the main CPU 61, the ratio indicator 69 It becomes difficult to cause the unauthorized member 180 to reach the main CPU 61 as a barrier, and the illegal act against the main CPU 61 can be suppressed. Furthermore, by mounting the ratio indicator 69 near the connector CN1, the display content of the ratio indicator 69 and the periphery of the connector that is likely to be fraudulent can be collectively confirmed.

  Further, as described above with reference to FIG. 62 (a), the ratio indicator 69 is soldered only on the opposite surface 63B side of the main control board 63, whereby the ratio indicator 69 is opposed to the main control board 63. Even when it is prescribed that a predetermined amount of the ratio display 69 (the lower surface of the ratio display 69 on the side opposite to the display surface on which the 7-segment display is disposed) is separated from the soldered portion, the main control board 63 It becomes possible to narrow the space between the direction 63A and the lower surface of the ratio display 69, and the main CPU 61 passes the unauthorized member 180 through the gap between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the lower surface of the ratio display 69. It becomes difficult to cheat against.

  The ratio indicator 69 is configured by four separate 7-segment displays, but may be configured to include at least one display unit configured by unitizing a plurality of 7-segment displays. Good. For example, it is configured by one display unit configured by unitizing four 7-segment displays, or by two display units configured by uniting two 7-segment displays. In this case, there is no gap between the 7-segment displays in the ratio indicator 69, or the number of the gaps is reduced, so that it is difficult to cheat the main CPU 61 through the unauthorized member 180 through the gap between the 7-segment displays. .

  The ratio indicator 69 has a rectangular shape, and terminals of the ratio indicator 69 are provided on the side 69B1 facing the connector CN1 of the ratio indicator 69 and on the side 69B2 facing the side 69B1 of the ratio indicator 69. The ratio indicator 69 may be mounted on the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 so as to be arranged. In this case, the unauthorized member 180 is passed through the gap between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the opposite surface of the main display board 63 of the ratio display 69 (the lower surface of the ratio display 69) to the main CPU 61. Even if a fraudulent act is attempted, it becomes difficult to pass the fraudulent member 180 through the gap due to the terminal of the ratio indicator 69 being a barrier, and thus the fraudulent act against the main CPU 61 through the fraudulent member 180 through the gap is suppressed. can do.

  The main board area 63 is provided with a test attachment area for attaching an electronic component during a test in order to output a test signal, and the ratio indicator 69 is attached to an area close to the test attachment area. May be. The test attachment area is an area where electronic parts are attached to transmit / receive signals to / from the test equipment. Even if fraudulent acts are performed on the electronic parts attached to this test attachment area, the gaming machine will be illegal. Are not directly connected. Therefore, when a fraudulent person conducts a fraudulent act, it is necessary to cause a fraudulent member such as a wire to reach another electronic component that exceeds the attachment area at the time of the test. Since it becomes easy to visually recognize the unauthorized member, it is possible to suppress an illegal act on the gaming machine.

  Furthermore, the arrangement of components (connector, ratio display, main CPU, IC, etc.) mounted on the main control board 63 will be described with reference to FIG.

  By the way, signals transmitted on the main control board 63 include, for example, setting values (setting 1 to setting 6) that are easy to obtain medals, gaming states (normal gaming state, special gaming state, etc.), winning and winning, medal A signal that is directly related to either the game advantage and the acquisition of game media, such as a payout, and a signal that is not directly related to either the game advantage or the acquisition of game media. In FIG. 63, a region surrounded by a dotted line includes a first terminal that handles a signal directly related to either the game advantage or the game medium acquisition as a terminal, and the game advantage and game medium acquisition. There are cases where the second terminal for handling a signal not directly related to any of the above is included or not included. In addition, the area surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line does not include the first terminal that handles a signal directly related to either the game advantage or the acquisition of the game medium as a terminal. A second terminal is included that handles signals not directly related to any of the acquisitions.

  Here, the first terminal and the fourth wiring that handle signals directly related to either the advantage of the game or the acquisition of the game medium are, for example, terminals and wirings related to signal input to the main CPU 61, These are terminals and wirings (terminals and wirings related to output of signals from the main CPU 61 (payout control means 110) to the hopper unit 43 (hopper motor 57)) related to the output of the game medium payout signal. In addition, the second terminal and the third wiring for handling signals not directly related to either the game advantage level or the acquisition of the game medium are, for example, from the main CPU 61 (stop control means 106) to the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M , 13R related parts (left / middle / right reel motors 14L, 14M, 14R) terminals and wiring related to signal output, main CPU 61 (credit display control means 116) related to credit display ( Terminals and wiring related to output of signals to the credit indicator 45), or terminals and wiring related to output of signals from the main CPU 61 (cancellation control means 117) to components (medal selector 48) related to cancellation of game media It is. Note that the term “terminal” as used herein includes not only a component terminal but also a via, a through hole, or the like that can be easily conducted by an unauthorized person with a wire or the like. In addition, even for the same type of component, depending on the signal to be handled, the component terminal and wiring may be the first terminal and the fourth wiring, and may be the second terminal and the third wiring. For example, an IC 81 to be described later surrounded by an alternate long and short dash line is an IC related to the second terminal and the third wiring, and an IC 82 to be described later surrounded by a dotted line is an IC related to the first terminal and the fourth wiring. Note that wiring that handles signals directly related to either game advantage and acquisition of game media and wiring that handles signals not directly related to either game advantage or acquisition of game media include board wiring. Make it not exist.

  A ratio indicator 69 is mounted on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, as shown in FIG. This ratio indicator 69 is configured by a package such as a DIP in which the terminal of the ratio indicator 69 is not provided in the central region of the opposite surface (the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69) facing the arrangement surface of the 7-segment display. ing. When such a ratio indicator 69 is mounted on the main control board 63, an opposing surface of the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the one face 63A of the ratio indicator 69 (the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69) There is a possibility that a gap is formed between the two ICs, and the IC is illegally concealed and mounted in the gap.

  On one surface 63A of the main control board 63, connectors CN1, CN2, ICs 81, 83, 84, 85, a diode 91, resistor groups 92, 94, and a transistor 93 are mounted around the ratio indicator 69. ing. The connectors CN1, CN2, ICs 81, 83, 84, 85, the diode 91, the resistor groups 92, 94, and the transistor 93 have a second terminal or a second terminal on the ratio indicator 69 side. The first terminal is not disposed, or the first terminal is not disposed on the ratio indicator 69 side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 63, between the first terminal of the connector CN2 in the area surrounded by the dotted line and the ratio indicator 69, the second of the area surrounded by the one-dot chain line on the ratio indicator 69 side of the connector CN2. The terminal is arranged, the second terminal is arranged on the ratio indicator 69 side, and the connector CN2 on which the first terminal is not arranged is arranged on the ratio indicator 69 side.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 63, the IC 82 and the main CPU 61 are mounted on the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 so that the IC 81 is positioned adjacent to the IC 81 and between the component and the ratio display 69. Has been. The IC 82 and the main CPU 61 have a first terminal on the ratio display 69 side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 63, the second terminal is arranged between each of the first terminal of the IC 82 and the first terminal of the main CPU 61 and the ratio indicator 69, and the first terminal is arranged. No IC81 is arranged.

  Also, on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, as shown in FIG. 63, the resistance groups 92 and 94 and the transistor 93 are adjacent to the resistance groups 92 and 94 and between the own part and the ratio indicator 69. A capacitor group 95 is mounted so as to be positioned. A first terminal is arranged in the capacitor group 95. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 63, a second terminal is disposed between the first terminal of the capacitor group 95 and the ratio indicator 69, and the resistor groups 92, 94, in which the first terminal is not disposed, The transistor 93 is arranged.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 63, the connector CN2, the transistor 93, and the resistor group 94 are located on the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 adjacent to the connector CN2 and between the component and the ratio indicator 69. Thus, the connector CN3 is mounted. A first terminal is disposed on the connector CN3. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 63, the second terminal is arranged between the first terminal of the connector CN3 and the ratio indicator 69, and the resistor groups 92 and 94 and the transistor 93 in which the first terminal is not arranged are arranged. The second terminal is disposed on the ratio indicator 69 side, and the connector CN2 without the first terminal is disposed on the ratio indicator 69 side.

  According to the arrangement of FIG. 63 described above, there is a component in which the first terminal is not arranged between the first terminal and the ratio indicator 69 or the first terminal is not arranged on the ratio indicator 69 side. It is installed. For this reason, one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the ratio display 69 corresponding to a gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio display 69 on the side opposite to the display surface on which the 7-segment display of the ratio display 69 is arranged. Even if the IC is illegally concealed and mounted in the gap with the surface facing the one surface 63A (the lower surface of the ratio display 69), the wiring extending from the illegally concealed IC is connected to the first terminal. In other words, avoid components mounted between the first terminal and the ratio indicator 69 (parts where the first terminal is not arranged or the first terminal is not arranged on the ratio indicator 69 side). It is necessary to lay wiring extending from the IC that is illegally concealed and mounted. For example, in order to connect the wiring 185 extending from the illegally concealed IC to the first terminal 82b of the IC 82, avoid the IC 81 mounted between the first terminal 82b and the ratio indicator 69. Need to be laid. For this reason, the wiring extending from the illegally concealed IC is lengthened, and the illegally concealed IC can be easily found.

  In order to connect an IC illegally hidden in the gap directly below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69 to the first terminal in the area surrounded by the dotted line of the connector CN3, the first terminal is not located on the ratio indicator 69 side. And the connector CN2 having the second terminal disposed on the ratio indicator 69 side needs to be laid. As described above, a component arranged between the first terminal and the ratio indicator 69 is illegally hidden if the first terminal is not arranged on the ratio indicator 69 side even if the first terminal is arranged. It can be handled as a component that is effective for the discovery of an integrated IC.

  In addition, it is preferable to surround the ratio indicator 69 with a component in which the first terminal is not arranged or the first terminal is not arranged on the ratio indicator 69 side. Alternatively, for all the first terminals, a component in which the first terminal is not disposed between the first terminal and the ratio indicator 69 or the first terminal is not disposed on the ratio indicator 69 side is disposed. Is preferred. By the way, in the first terminal having a large distance from the ratio indicator 69, the linear distance between the first terminal and the IC illegally hidden in the gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69 is long. Even if the wiring for connecting the illegally concealed IC is laid in a straight line, the wiring becomes long and it is easy to find the illegally concealed IC. On the other hand, in the first terminal having a small distance from the ratio indicator 69, the linear distance between the first terminal and the IC illegally hidden in the gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69 is shortened. If the wiring connecting the first terminal and the illegally hidden IC can be laid in a straight line, the wiring becomes short and it is difficult to find the illegally hidden IC. For this reason, the first terminal is not disposed between at least the first terminal closest to the ratio indicator 69 and the ratio indicator 69 among the plurality of first terminals, or on the ratio indicator 69 side. It is only necessary to mount a component on which the first terminal is not arranged.

  Next, the laying of wiring on one surface 63A of the main control board 63 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 64A, the first wiring 161 for VDD and the second wiring 162 for GND are laid on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, and are directly below the lower surface of the ratio display 69. Correspondingly, the second wiring 162 is not laid in a region 63 </ b> C facing the ratio indicator (shown simply as “display (display component)” in FIG. 64) 69 on one side of the main control board 63. Here, the first wiring 161 is a wiring for supplying VDD to the ratio indicator 69. In FIG. 64A, the first wiring 161 is laid in the facing area 63C. However, both the first wiring 161 and the second wiring 162 may not be laid in the facing area 63C. Instead of laying the first wiring 161 on 63C, the second wiring 162 may be laid. Further, the first wiring may be for GND and the second wiring may be for VDD.

  FIG. 64B is an example different from the embodiment, and the main control board corresponding to both the first wiring 161 for VDD and the second wiring 162 for GND is directly below the lower surface of the ratio display 69. It is also laid on one surface 63A of the main control board 63 so as to be laid also on the opposite area 63C of 63. In this case, between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the one surface 63A of the ratio display 69 (the lower surface of the ratio display 69), which corresponds to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio display 69. In order to supply VDD and GND to the illegal IC 191 when the illegal IC 191 that requires both VDD and GND for operation is concealed in the gap, it is connected to the first wiring 161 and the second wiring 162. Since the wiring 192A and the wiring 192B are completed within the facing region 63C of the main control board 63 corresponding to the area immediately below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69, it becomes impossible to visually recognize an improper trace from the outside.

  FIG. 64C is an embodiment, and both the first wiring 161 for VDD and the second wiring 162 for GND are laid on one surface 63A of the main control board 63. The second wiring 162 is not laid in the facing region 63C of the main control board 63 that is directly below. In this case, between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the one surface 63A of the ratio display 69 (the lower surface of the ratio display 69), which corresponds to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio display 69. When the illegal IC 191 that requires both VDD and GND for operation is concealed in the gap, the wiring 192A for connecting the illegal IC 191 and the first wiring 161 corresponds to the area immediately below the lower surface of the ratio display 69. The wiring 192B for connecting the unauthorized IC 191 and the second wiring 162 corresponds to the area immediately below the lower surface of the ratio display 69, although it cannot be seen from the outside because it is completed in the facing area 63C of the main control board 63. Since part of the wiring 192B is not obstructed by the ratio indicator 69 from the outside, it cannot be completed within the facing region 63C of the main control board 63. It would be laid in an area visible to easy. Therefore, even if the illegal IC 191 is mounted so as to be hidden in the gap between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 corresponding to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio display 69 and the lower surface of the ratio display 69, the illegal IC 191 is second. A part of the wiring 192B for connecting to the wiring 162 can be easily visually recognized from the outside without being obstructed by the ratio indicator 69, so that the unauthorized IC 191 can be easily found.

  Note that the second wiring 162 may not be laid in the peripheral region of the facing region 63C of the main control board 63 corresponding to the periphery immediately below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69. According to this, a portion of the wiring 192B for connecting the unauthorized IC 191 to the second wiring 162 that is visible from the outside without being obstructed by the ratio indicator 69 becomes long, so that the portion directly below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69 is provided. Discovery of fraudulent IC 191 mounted so as to be concealed in the gap between one surface 63A of main control board 63 corresponding to the gap and the opposite surface (the lower surface of ratio indicator 69) of one side 63A of ratio indicator 69 Becomes easier.

  Subsequently, a modified example related to the laying of the first wiring 161 and the second wiring 162 will be described with reference to FIG. In this modification, a module (“display including display components (display unit)”) in which a ratio indicator 69 corresponding to a display component and a driver for driving the ratio indicator 69 are mounted on the substrate 70 is mounted. Is mounted on one surface 63A of the main control board 63. The board 70 is attached to a connector 79 mounted on one surface 63A of the main control board 63. Here, since there is the connector 79 directly under the substrate 70, there is no gap that can hide the IC or the like illegally. For this reason, also in the case of FIG. 65, the place where IC etc. are concealed illegally is a gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio display 69. Even when the terminals of the board 70 are fixed to the main control board 63 by double-sided soldering, there is a gap that can illegally hide the IC or the like because the terminals of the board 70 are directly under the board 70. do not do. For this reason, a place where the IC or the like is illegally hidden is a gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69.

  As shown in FIG. 65, the first wiring 161 and the second wiring 162 are laid on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, and the first wiring 161 and the second wiring 162 drive the above-mentioned driver. Therefore, the main control board 63 is also laid in a region 63 </ b> D facing the board 70 in the one surface 63 </ b> A. By the way, the second wiring 162 is not laid in the facing area 70 </ b> C (corresponding to a position directly below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69) of the surface 70 </ b> A facing the ratio indicator 69 of the substrate 70. With this configuration, as in the case of FIG. 64, the facing surface 70A of the substrate 70 and the facing surface of the substrate 70 of the ratio display 69 corresponding to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio display 69 (the lower surface of the ratio display 69). IC can be easily found illegally hidden in the gap between Note that the second wiring 162 is not laid around the counter area 70 </ b> C of the substrate 70 corresponding to the periphery immediately below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69.

  Further, a modified example of the wiring laying on the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 66 (a), the first display 63A for VDD is mounted on one surface 63A on which the ratio indicator (simply described as “display (display part)” in FIG. 66) 69 of the main control board 63 is mounted. One wiring 161, a second wiring 162 for GND, a third wiring 163 that handles signals not directly related to any of game advantage and game media acquisition, directly to any of game advantage and game media acquisition A fourth wiring 164 for handling related signals is laid. The first wiring 161 or the third wiring 163 or both of them are located in a region 63 </ b> C facing the ratio indicator 69 in the one surface 63 </ b> A of the main control board 63, which corresponds to a position directly below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69. Although it is laid, the second wiring 162 and the fourth wiring 164 are not laid in the facing region 63C. Furthermore, it is preferable to lay the first wiring 161 and / or the third wiring 163 in the facing region 63C in almost the entire region with a design rule that minimizes the distance between the wirings.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 66 (a), the second wiring 162 for GND is laid on the opposite surface (the surface on which no component is mounted) 63B to the one surface (component mounting surface) 63A of the main control board 63. May be.

  According to the wiring arrangement described with reference to FIG. 66 (a), as shown in FIG. 66 (b), the ratio to the one surface 63A of the main control board 63, which corresponds to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio display 69, is proportional. When the illegal IC 191 that requires both VDD and GND for operation is mounted in a gap between the display 69 and the surface facing the one surface 63A (the lower surface of the ratio display 69), the illegal IC 191 is first displayed. The wiring 192A for connecting to the wiring 161 is laid in a region that cannot be seen from the outside, and tries to connect to the second wiring 162 laid on the opposite surface 63B of the main control board 63 that is the shortest distance from the unauthorized IC 191. However, when a hole is formed in the main control board 63 and an attempt is made to connect to the second wiring 162 laid on the opposite surface 63B of the main control board 63, the main control board 63 is laid in the facing region 63C corresponding to the position directly below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69. The wiring (first wiring, third wiring) is cut (193 in the figure) or the second wiring 162 and the wiring (first wiring, third wiring) laid in the facing region 63C are short-circuited. Therefore, the slot machine does not operate normally. This makes it possible to grasp that fraud is being performed.

  Further, in a gap between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the facing surface of the one surface 63A of the ratio indicator 69 (the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69), which corresponds to a gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69. When mounted so as to hide the unauthorized IC 191, the wiring 192 </ b> C for connecting the unauthorized IC 191 to the fourth wiring 164 is completed in the facing region 63 </ b> C of the main control board 63 corresponding to the area immediately below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69. Therefore, a part of the wiring 192C is laid in a region that can be easily visually recognized from the outside without being obstructed by the ratio indicator 69. Therefore, even if the illegal IC 191 is mounted so as to be hidden in the gap between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 corresponding to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69 and the lower surface of the ratio indicator 69, the illegal IC 191 is the fourth. A part of the unauthorized wiring for connecting to the wiring 164 can be easily seen from the outside without being obstructed by the ratio indicator 69, so that the unauthorized IC 191 can be easily found, and the advantage of the game and the acquisition of the game medium can be reduced. It becomes possible to prevent fraud.

  62 and 64, a ratio display 69 (corresponding to “display”) is a module (“display unit”) configured by mounting a display component and a driver for driving the display component on the substrate 70. May be substituted).

  66, a ratio display 69 (corresponding to “display”) is a module (corresponding to “display unit”) configured by mounting a display component and a driver for driving the display component on the substrate 70. May be replaced. In this case, the first wiring 161 and / or the third wiring 163 or both of them are laid immediately below the lower surface of the display component of the surface of the substrate 70 facing the display component. The wiring 164 is not laid. Further, immediately below the lower surface of the display component of the surface facing the display component of the substrate 70, the first wiring 161 or the third wiring 163 or its It is preferable to lay both.

  Note that mounting the display on the main control board includes the case where the display component is directly mounted on the main control board and the case where the display unit including the display component is mounted on the main control board. For example, when the ratio display 69 is mounted on the main control board 63, when the ratio display 69 is mounted directly on the main control board 63, the main unit controls the display unit on which the driver and the ratio display 69 are mounted on the board 70. The case where it mounts on the board | substrate 63 is included.

  Note that the arrangement relationship of components (connectors, ratio indicator, main CPU, IC, etc.) and wiring mounted on the main control board 63 described with reference to FIGS. It can also be applied to (Pachinko machines). Here, for example, a gaming state (normal probability jackpot state, high probability jackpot state (probability variation) state, etc.), jackpot, game ball are related to signals directly related to either the game advantage or the acquisition of game media. For example, driving of a reel in the case of a drum type is assumed as one relating to a signal that is not directly related to either the game advantage or the acquisition of the game medium.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 having the display window 11 that can visually recognize the reel on the front surface, a visual prevention means for preventing the ratio indicator 69 from being seen when the inside of the housing 3 is viewed from the display window 11 is provided. May be. As the visual prevention means, for example, it is attached to the upper part of the support frame 13 (see FIG. 4) that supports each of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. A shielding plate of a size that can be hidden is provided. According to this, since the display content of the ratio indicator 69 cannot be confirmed unless the front door 5 is opened, it is determined whether or not the display content of the ratio indicator 69 has become an abnormal value due to an unauthorized act. Confirmation can be prevented from being used for confirming whether or not the injustice is overlooked by the inspector, and the player confirms the display content of the ratio display 69 and predicts the set value and the like. Can be prevented.

  In addition, when the player confirms the ratio display 69 in front view, the display content can be confirmed. When the player confirms the ratio display 69 in perspective, specific means for preventing confirmation of the display content may be provided. Examples of the specifying means include a polarizing film attached to the substrate case CS, a mesh formed on the substrate case CS, and a wall provided so as to cover the periphery of the ratio display 69. Moreover, you may make it provide the auxiliary means which assists confirmation of the display content, only when a player confirms the ratio indicator 69 by front view. The auxiliary means is, for example, a magnifying lens provided only in a front view. Further, the ratio indicator 69 may be arranged at a position where it is difficult to see the display of the ratio indicator 69 in perspective. For example, in a state where the main control board 63 is attached to the inside of the housing 3 as shown in FIG. 4, the ratio indicator 69 is provided on the shaft side when the door is opened. According to these, even if the store clerk opens the front door 5 in order to eliminate the cause of the error that occurred during the game, the player cannot easily confirm the display content of the ratio display 69, so it is not intended. It is possible to prevent the display content of the player ratio display 69 from being confirmed.

  According to the first embodiment, when the dividend B is less than or equal to the divisor A, the ratio (percentage) of the dividend B to the divisor A (divide the dividend B by 100 and divide the result (B × 100) by the divisor A). The quotient is always 100 (decimal notation) or less, and the quotient can be expressed by 7 bits, and only the lower 7 bits are calculated as the quotient value. For this reason, the calculation load of the ratio (percentage) of the dividend B to the divisor A is suppressed, and it becomes possible to perform the calculation in a short time.

  When the dividend B is equal to or less than the divisor A, the ratio (percentage) of the dividend B to the divisor A can be calculated as follows. Divide the dividend B by 100 and subtract the divisor A from the multiplied result (B × 100) to determine whether the subtraction result (B × 100−A) is less than zero. If it is less than 0, the percentage is 0% or more and less than 1%. In the case of 0 or more, the divisor A is subtracted from the subtraction result (B × 100−A), and it is determined whether or not the subtraction result (B × 100−2 × A) is less than zero. If it is less than 0, the percentage is 1% or more and less than 2%. In the case of 0 or more, the divisor A is subtracted from the subtraction result (B × 100−2 × A), and it is determined whether or not the subtraction result (B × 100−3 × A) is less than zero. If it is less than 0, the percentage is 2% or more and less than 3%. By repeating this, the ratio (percentage) of the dividend B to the divisor A can be calculated. In this method, the subtraction process and the determination process are performed up to 100 times, and the calculation load can be suppressed to some extent. On the other hand, since the percentage calculation method of the first embodiment calculates only the lower 7 bits as the quotient value, the calculation load can be further suppressed.

  In addition, according to the first embodiment and Modifications 1 to 4 in FIG. 61, the inspection item such as the advantageous section ratio (cumulative total) can be easily inspected or confirmed by the inspector, and an RWM error occurs during the inspection. In this case, since the display for notifying the RWM error is performed on the ratio indicator 69 for displaying the inspection item such as the advantageous section ratio (cumulative), the inspector can recognize the occurrence of the RWM error at an early stage. In addition, according to FIG. 60 and the modified example 5, inspection items such as the advantageous section ratio (cumulative) by the inspector can be easily inspected or confirmed, and when an error occurs during the inspection, the advantageous section ratio (cumulative), etc. Since the display for notifying an error is performed on the ratio display 69 for displaying the inspection items, the inspector can recognize the occurrence of the error at an early stage.

  Furthermore, according to the first embodiment, the counting by the counting means 114a is performed after the determination by the symbol determination means (winning determination means) 109 and before the payout processing by the payout control means 110. Even if a power failure occurs during the medal payout process, and then there is initialization when power is restored, for example, even if a setting change occurs unexpectedly during the medal payout Processing has already been done. For this reason, even if a power failure occurs during the medal payout process and then initialization is performed when power is restored, for example, when a setting change occurs unexpectedly during the medal payout. Also, the number of medals paid out can be accurately counted.

  According to the first embodiment, since the ratio is displayed on the ratio seg of the ratio indicator 69, the inspector can easily determine whether fraud is performed based on the value displayed on the ratio seg. it can. In addition, according to the first embodiment, the identification segment of the ratio display 69 has a predetermined number of total games (6000 for the consecutive character ratio (6000 games) and the character ratio (6000 games)), and the advantageous section ratio. (Cumulative), the continuous feature ratio (cumulative), and the feature ratio (cumulative) is 175000). Therefore, the inspector can easily recognize whether the display content of the ratio display 69 is before reaching a predetermined number or after reaching. In addition, the ratio segment of the ratio display 69 includes an advantageous section ratio (cumulative), a continuous feature ratio (6000 games), an accessory ratio (6000 games), a continuous feature ratio (cumulative), and an accessory ratio (cumulative). When the calculated value is equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio value (a value that is determined to be fraudulent, and is determined to be fraudulent if the ratio is equal to or greater than the ratio value) Is displayed blinking, and is displayed when the ratio is less than the specified value. For this reason, the inspector can easily recognize whether or not the display content of the ratio indicator 69 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value of the predetermined ratio, that is, whether fraud is being performed. In addition, the inspector can easily recognize whether fraud has been performed by blinking and lighting the ratio segment without knowing the specified ratio value.

  According to the first embodiment, information that is aggregated when a predetermined condition is satisfied (every 400 games in this embodiment), and information that is aggregated even if the predetermined condition is not satisfied (every game in this embodiment) By separating, it is possible to eliminate the waste of tabulation processing. In addition, according to the first embodiment, calculation items that are calculated when a predetermined condition is satisfied (every 400 games in the present embodiment) and calculation are performed even if the predetermined condition is not satisfied (every game in the present embodiment). By separating the calculation items from each other, it is possible to eliminate the waste of calculation processing, and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, it is related to a predetermined order of displaying the display items (1) to (5) on the ratio display 69. A plurality of calculation items (in this embodiment, effective section ratio (cumulative), continuous character ratio (6000 games), and character ratio (6000 games) in a specific order (in this embodiment, reverse to the predetermined order) ), The consecutive character ratio (cumulative) and the character ratio (cumulative)) are calculated, and when the predetermined condition is not satisfied (in this embodiment, every game), it corresponds to the first order in the predetermined order. Calculation item (book) The facilities embodiment, by calculating only the effective section ratio Total), it is possible to perform operation efficiently.

  According to the first embodiment, after the detection of the RWM error, when shifting to the setting change state, the stop of the game is released, and the display of the ratio indicator 69 is controlled in the first lighting mode. The inspector can recognize early that the stop of the game has been released by the display control of the ratio indicator 69 in the first lighting mode. In addition, according to FIG. 60, when the error is canceled after the error is detected, the stop of the game is canceled, and the display of the ratio indicator 69 is controlled in the first lighting mode. The player can recognize at an early stage that the stop of the game has been released by the display control of the ratio indicator 69 in the first lighting mode.
