Further, in the following description, the batting order in which the bell can be won at the time of winning in the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is also described as the correct batting order. In addition, the batting order in which the bell cannot be won at the time of winning in the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is also described as an incorrect batting order.

The winning area "common bell role" is configured so that the bell is won and the bell can win regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. The winning area "rare role" is configured so that the rare role is won and the rare role can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing, so that the probability of winning is lower than the winning area including other small roles. It is configured. The winning area "missing role" is configured so that the missing role can be won when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at an appropriate timing, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed. If it is the pressing timing that the missed role cannot be won, the missed role will be missed (non-winning).

FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a winning area of a small winning combination that can be won in the first bonus state. As shown in FIG. 4 (B), JAC is a bell, a special small role 1 to a special small role 6, a rare role and a missed role, and all of the small wins that can be won in the non-RT state to the RT2 state and the bonus establishment state. It is a winning area that wins more than once. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning area "JAC" is won, in the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the bell with the largest number of payouts at the time of winning wins the prize in preference to other winning combinations. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are controlled. As a result, when the winning area "JAC" is won, the bell wins regardless of the batting order and pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

Next, the winning area including the replay will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning area "normal replay 1", the winning area "normal replay 2", and the winning area "batting order replay 1" to include only the replay. The winning area "Batting Order Replay 6" and the winning area "Rare Replay" are set.

The winning area "normal replay 1" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and is configured to win the normal replay and to win the normal replay regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. Has been done. The winning area "normal replay 2" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and the normal replay and the normal replay are a combination of symbols indicating the winning form (hereinafter, "winning symbol"). (Also described as "combination") is different from other replays, and the special replay 1 is won, and the normal replay can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. The winning area "rare replay" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and is configured to win the rare replay and win the rare replay regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. ing. In addition, the winning area "rare replay" is set so that the winning probability is lower than any winning area in the winning area including the replay that can be won in each internal lottery table.

The winning area "Batting Order Replay 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Replay 6" are the winning areas set in the internal lottery table B selected when the game state is the RT1 state, and are the normal replay and the RT2 transition replay. If the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order set in each of the winning area "batting order replay 1" to the winning area "batting order replay 6", the RT2 transition replay is performed. Wins a prize, and if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in any other batting order, the normal replay wins.

Further, the winning area "batting order replay 1" to the winning area "batting order replay 6" are configured so that the winning modes of duplicate winning are different. Specifically, in the winning area "Batting Order Replay 1", the normal replay and the RT2 transition replay are duplicated, and in the winning area "Batting Order Replay 2", the normal replay, the RT2 transition replay, and other replays are. Special replay 1 with a different winning symbol combination and a duplicate winning, and in the winning area "Batting order replay 3", a normal replay, an RT2 transition replay, and a special replay 2 with a different winning symbol combination from other replays overlap. In the winning area "Batting Order Replay 4", the normal replay, the RT2 transition replay, and the special replay 3 whose winning symbol combination is different from other replays are duplicated, and the winning area "Batting Order Replay 5" is Normal replay, RT2 transition replay, and special replay 4 with a different winning symbol combination from other replays are won in duplicate, and the winning area "Batting order replay 6" is the normal replay, RT2 transition replay, and other replays. The special replay 5 and the winning symbol combination, which are different from each other, are configured to be won in duplicate. In the reel control means 130, which will be described later, when the winning area including the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are in any batting order and pressing timing. It is configured to execute the reel stop control so that the winning symbol combination of the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 is not displayed even when the pressing operation is performed.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning probabilities of the winning area "RBB2" and the winning area "normal replay 2" are changed according to the set value stored in the set value storage means 191. It is composed of the winning area "Batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Batting order bell 6", the winning area "common bell role", the winning area "rare role", the winning area "missing role", and the winning area "missing role". Batting order replay 1 "to winning area" batting order replay 6 ", winning area" normal replay 1 ", winning area" rare replay ", winning area" RBB1 ", and winning area" CBB "are set value memory. It is configured so that the winning probability does not change regardless of the set value stored in the means 191.

In the random number determination process, a random number (random number for lottery) generated by the random number generation means 110 for each game is acquired based on the start signal output from the start switch 230, and the acquired random number is selected in the lottery table selection process. It is compared with the lottery table, and it is determined whether or not the winning combination is won based on the comparison result.

In the lottery flag setting process, based on the result of the random number determination process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination is set from the non-established state (first flag state, OFF state) to the established state (second flag state). , ON state). In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won in duplicate, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning combinations is set in the established state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage means 193 of the main storage means 190.

Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry over the established state to the next and subsequent games until a prize is won, and the winning state is carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. There is a lottery flag (non-carryover flag) that is reset to the non-established state without being established. The former carry-over possible flag is associated with the RBB1, RBB2, and CBB, and the small combination and the replay are associated with the latter carry-over non-carryable flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the winning area including either RBB1, RBB2 or CBB is won in the internal lottery, the winning RBB1, RBB2 or CBB wins the winning state of the lottery flag of the winning RBB1, RBB2 or CBB. Perform the process of carrying over to.

In the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are arranged so that each symbol constituting the winning symbol combination of the CBB can win the prize regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3. They are arranged on the peripheral surface. Therefore, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can execute only the carry-over process of RBB1 or RBB2 for the carry-over process of carrying over the established state of the lottery flag to the games after the winning game. Further, when the CBB is operating, the internal lottery means 120 of the present embodiment sets all the small winning combination lottery flags to the established state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

The internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine the success or failure of the small winning combination and the replay even in the game in which the establishment state of the lottery flag of RBB1 or RBB2 is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the established state of the lottery flag of RBB1 or RBB2 is carried over, if a small winning combination or replay is won, the lottery flag of RBB1 or RBB2 that has already been won and the internal lottery Set the lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of the winning small wins and the replay lottery flags to the established state.

The reel control means 130 is the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 that is operated by the player executing the start operation to the start lever SL. Starts the rotary drive of. Further, the reel control means 130 has a stop button B1 corresponding to each reel when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 becomes a rotation state of steady rotation at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm). ~ When the stop button B3 is pressed, the control for validating the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 is executed. Then, the reel control means 130 stops the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation. , Controls to stop each reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. At this time, the reel control means 130 controls to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, which are rotationally driven by the stepping motor, in a state in which the lottery flag is set, that is, in a mode according to the result of the internal lottery. That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each button of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. Then, the reel is controlled to be stopped at the determined stop position.

Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed. It is designed to stop the reel. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is determined from the diameter and rotation speed of each reel, and the reel stops from the time when the stop button is pressed. It is configured to be rotatable for up to 4 frames before it is done. In the reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation is performed among the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery is the stop button. When the position is within the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the effective line L1 when the pressing operation for is performed, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set is valid. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so that the reel is displayed at the display position on the line L1.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of the winning combinations that can be won regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 such as the bell, each replay, and CBB described above are the first reel R1. In each of the third reels R3, they are arranged within a displayable range from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reels stop. In particular, among the winning symbol combinations of bells, for the symbols that can be displayed on the third reel R3, the timing of pressing the stop button B3 even when the CBB is operating when the maximum number of sliding frames of the third reel R3 is one. It is arranged so that it can be displayed regardless of.

Here, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal output when the start switch 230 detects the start operation, starts the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and starts one game. In this case, it is configured to set a waiting time (about 4.1 seconds) generally called a wait (or wait time). When the reel control means 130 receives the start signal from the start switch 230 within the period from the setting of the standby time to the elapse of the standby time, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal from the start switch 230, and after the standby time elapses, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 Is configured to start spinning. With this configuration, the reel control means 130 can start the game after the minimum game time (about 4.1 seconds) has elapsed as a fixed time from the start of one game to the start of the next game. ..

The reel control means 130 refers to a logic calculation process for obtaining a stop position of a rotating reel by a logic calculation and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 194 of the main storage means 190, and the reel is rotating. It performs table reference processing to determine the stop position of.

First, in the logic calculation processing, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is operated, that is, when the pressing operation of the stop button is detected according to the priority data determined for each combination. Priority is obtained for the candidates for the stop positions for 5 frames existing in the range. Here, the reel control means 130 is a reel index which is information indicating that the reel output when the photosensor provided in the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided in each reel has made one rotation. And, using the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel where the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times the drive pulse supplied to the stepping motor is supplied), the rotation state of the reel at the time when the reel stop signal is received from the stop switch 240. To get. Then, among the priorities of the candidates for each stop position, the candidate for the stop position having the highest priority is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the press detection position, and the like. When there are a plurality of candidates for the stop position having the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by the table reference process.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the non-RT state to the RT2 state, the bonus established state, or the first bonus state, the order of priority is determined in the order of "replay> small winning combination> bonus". Further, in the slot machine 1, in the case of the second bonus state in which the CBB is operating, the priority is determined in the order of "small role> replay> bonus". That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the reel stop control is executed when the CBB is in operation, if the small winning combination and the replay or the bonus are won in duplicate, the small winning combination and the bonus are prioritized. The symbols that make up the winning symbol combination of the winning combination are stopped on the effective line L1.

In the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags for two or more types of winning combinations are set in the winning state, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination with the higher priority according to the priority assigned to each winning combination. The priority is obtained so that the candidate of is higher in priority than the candidate of the stop position including the symbol constituting the winning form of the winning combination having a lower priority.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of small wins are won in the internal lottery, the priority of the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1. There are a method of finding the priority and a method of finding the priority according to the number of medals to be paid out based on a predetermined dividend for the small winning combination. When determining the priority of stop position candidates according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1, the priority is higher as the number of winning symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1 increases. The priority of each stop position candidate is obtained so as to be higher. Further, when the priority of the candidate for the stop position is obtained according to the number of medals paid out, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small winning combination corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the effective line L1 is large. The priority of each stop position candidate is obtained so that the stop position, that is, the stop position where a small winning combination with a large payout can be won, has a higher priority. However, when the priority of the candidate for the stop position is calculated according to the number of medals paid out, if small wins with the same payout are won more than once, each small win can be won. Candidates are treated as having the same priority.

Further, in the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-off process are performed as processes for obtaining candidates for reel stop positions. Here, the pull-in process is a process of obtaining a candidate for a stop position of the reel so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set in the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining a candidate for a stop position of the reel so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 makes it possible to stop the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the winning state in the winning form, while the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the non-winning state is in the winning form. A logic calculation process is performed to obtain a candidate for a reel stop position so that the reel does not stop at.

Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the CBB wins and the CBB operates, the reel control means 130 presses the stop button B3 on the third reel R3 of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop the rotating third reel R3 within 75 ms from the time when the reel is rotated. When stopping the rotating reel within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops, depending on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel. It is configured to be rotatable for up to one frame.

In the reel stop control during CBB operation, the reel control means 130 performs at least one predetermined reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed. The reel stop control may be executed so as to stop, and in the present embodiment, the third reel is within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal output from the stop switch 240 is detected by pressing the stop button B3. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop R3, but the stop switch 240 detects that the stop buttons corresponding to other reels such as the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 have been pressed, and the reel stop signal. May be configured to perform reel stop control so that the reels are stopped within 75 ms from the time when is output from the stop switch 240, and within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240. The number of reels set to stop the reels may be a plurality of reels instead of one.

The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the stopping mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 195 of the main storage means 190, when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, the line L1 is on the effective line L1. It is determined whether or not the displayed symbol combination is in the form of winning a predetermined winning combination. Then, the winning judgment table is set so that it can be judged whether or not a small winning combination, a replay, or a bonus has been won (hereinafter referred to as "winning judgment") by the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 when each reel is stopped. It is prepared.

Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140 in the winning determination process. As each process executed based on the determination result of the winning combination, for example, when a small winning combination is won, a process of determining the number of medals to be paid out by the payout control means 150 is performed, and when the replay is won. Memorizes that the replay has won a prize in the replay winning storage means 161 that memorizes the winning of the replay, and causes the replay processing means 160 to execute the process without consuming medals in the next game, resulting in a bonus. When a prize is won, a process of activating the winning bonus in the game state transition control means 170 is performed.

Further, when a small winning combination is won, the winning determination means 140 determines the number of medals to be paid out in the game based on a predetermined payout for each winning combination, and the determined number of medals is sent to the outside of the slot machine 1. The determined number of medals to be paid out is set in the payout information storage means 151 as an external output payout counter, which is a counter for storing the number of medals to be paid out for output to an external device 700 such as a hall computer provided. Further, when the replay wins the prize, the prize determination means 140 sets the same number of values as the specified number of inputs in the game in which the replay wins the prize in the payout information storage means 151.

In the present embodiment, the dividend of the small winning combination is set to a different number of payouts depending on whether the payout is the first specified number of inputs or the second specified number of inputs. When the specified number of inputs is set to the first specified number of inputs, the payout of the bell is set to 9 which is larger than the number of the first specified number of inputs, and the payout of the rare role is 3 which is the same number as the first specified number of inputs. The payouts for the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 and the missed winning combination are set to one, which is less than the first specified number of cards. In addition, when the specified number of inputs is set to the second specified number of inputs, the payout of the bell is set to 14 cards, which is larger than the number of the second specified number of inputs, and the payout of the rare role is the same as the number of the second specified number of inputs. The payouts for the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 and the missed winning combination are set to one, which is less than the number of the second specified input.

The payout control means 150 executes payout control, which is a control related to payout of medals, and executes a payout process, which is a process of paying out medals according to a game result. Specifically, the payout control means 150 performs payout control in which medals corresponding to the number of payouts are paid out to the hopper unit 320 as the payout device based on the result of the prize determination process by the prize determination means 140.

The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out the number of medals specified by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is configured to be able to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on the input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. If medals are allowed to be credited, the number of credits (credited) stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the main storage means 190 instead of actually paying out the medals by the hopper unit 320. A credit addition process is performed to add the number of medals to be paid out to the number of medals), and a process of virtually paying out medals is performed.

The replay processing means 160 determines that the winning determination means 140 has stopped and displayed the symbol combination indicating the winning of any one of the plurality of types of replays on the effective line L1, and when the replay wins, the next game Performs a replay process (replay process) that sets the game to a ready state that enables the game to be executed without the need to insert medals. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the replay wins a prize, an automatic insertion process is performed in which a specified number of medals are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). We wait for the next start operation for the start lever SL with the same effective line L1 as the previous game set.

The game state transition control means 170 shifts the game state between the non-RT state and the RT2 state and changes the winning mode of the replay. The RBB1 or RBB2 is won by the RT state transition control process and the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. When the winning symbol combination of RBB1, RBB2 or CBB is displayed on the valid line L1 by the bonus establishment state transition control process for shifting from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state and the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. In addition, the bonus operation control process for activating the bonus displayed on the effective line L1 and shifting the gaming state to the first bonus state or the second bonus state, and the game state transition control are performed.

FIG. 5 is a state transition diagram showing a game state that can be transferred from each game state in the game state transition control executed by the game state transition control means 170. In the following description, the non-RT state to the RT2 state are collectively referred to as a "non-bonus state". Further, in the following description, the first bonus state and the second bonus state are collectively referred to as "bonus state".

First, the details of the RT state transition control process will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the non-RT state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and it is possible to shift from the non-RT state to the RT1 state. Specifically, in the non-RT state, any one of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won, and the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed to operate the reels by the reel control means 130. When a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the small winning combination, replay, and bonus combination is displayed on the effective line L1 by the stop control, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the non-RT state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the winning probability of the replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

The RT1 state is a gaming state corresponding to a normal state that can be shifted from the non-RT state and the RT2 state, and it is possible to shift from the RT1 state to the RT2 state. Specifically, in the RT1 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order in which the winning area "batting order replay 1" to the winning area "batting order replay 6" can be won and the RT2 transition replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the RT2 transition state is entered. In the RT1 state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of the replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

The RT2 state is a gaming state in which the game shifts when the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. It is possible to shift from the RT2 state to the RT1 state. Specifically, any one of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won, and the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed, and the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 is small. When a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the winning combination of the winning combination, the replay, and the bonus is displayed on the effective line L1, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, the winning probability of the replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 1.5, so that the internal lottery table C in which the probability of winning any of the small winning combination, the replay, or the bonus is set to be extremely high is referred to. An internal lottery will be held.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, different game playability is realized in each game state by transitioning the game state between the non-RT state and the RT2 state. Specifically, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as long as the bells are continuously won at the time of winning the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6", the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. A non-RT state that is maintained with a low probability of 3, an RT1 state in which a normal game is executed, and a high probability of winning a replay with an extremely high probability of either a small role, a replay, or a bonus in each game. The RT2 state that can be won in and the game playability that is different from each other are realized.

In addition, in the RT2 state where the probability of winning the replay is set to a high probability of about 1 / 1.5, the probability of winning the winning area "normal replay 1" and the probability of winning the winning area "normal replay 2" The advantageous period is started by the advantageous period control means 400A, which will be described later, and the assist time state (hereinafter referred to as the assist time) in which the winning assist control for assisting the winning of a specific combination is executed by the instruction function state control means 400B. By starting (also referred to as "AT"), the game in the AT state is executed in the RT2 state in which the game in the AT state is won in the replay with a higher probability than in other game states, that is, the so-called assist replay time game (hereinafter, assist replay time). It is configured so that "ART") can be executed.

Next, among the game state transition control processes executed by the game state transition control means 170, the bonus establishment state transition control process will be described. When the winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is won by the internal lottery, the game state transition control means 170 executes a bonus establishment state transition control process for shifting the gaming state from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state. Specifically, when the gaming state transition control means 170 wins a winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 such as the winning area "RBB1" or the winning area "RBB2" in an internal lottery in a non-RT state, the gaming state Shifts from the non-RT state to the bonus establishment state. Further, in the slot machine 1, when the winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is won and the winning RBB1 or RBB2 is not won, the bonus is established in the subsequent games until the winning RBB1 or RBB2 is won. The game is executed. In the bonus establishment state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table D in which the winning probability of the replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the bonus established state, the internal lottery table has a lower probability of winning the replay than the RT2 state in which the probability of winning either a small win, a replay, or a bonus in the internal lottery is set extremely high. Is configured to execute an internal lottery using. As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is won by the internal lottery, the lottery flag is carried over in the established state until the winning RBB1 or RBB2 is won. Therefore, in the slot machine 1, when the small winning combination or the replay is won in the internal lottery in the bonus established state, the small winning combination and the bonus or the replay and the bonus are won in duplicate. Further, as described above, in the slot machine 1, the priority is determined in the order of "replay> small role> bonus". Further, in the slot machine 1, the special small winning combination 1 to 6 winning when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at an appropriate timing, and the winning special small winning combination 1 to special when the missing combination is won. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at the pressing timing at which the small winning combination 6 and the missing winning combination cannot be won, none of the winning combinations is won.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the replay in the bonus established state is set to be lower than the winning probability of the replay in the RT2 state, and the internal lottery can be lost (unwinned). By doing so, it is configured so that the bonus can be won independently. As a result, in the slot machine 1, when the bonus is established and the internal lottery is lost (unwinned), the RBB1 or RBB2 whose lottery flag is continuously set in the established state can be won. ..

Next, among the game state transition control processes executed by the game state transition control means 170, the bonus state transition control process will be described. The game state transition control means 170 operates RBB1 or RBB2 as a bonus state transition control process when the winning symbol combination of RBB1 or RBB2 is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. The process of shifting the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the first bonus state is executed. When the state shifts to the first bonus state, the game state shift control means 170 starts a process of adding a value to the bonus end determination counter (not shown) which is a counter of the main storage means 190. From the first bonus state, it is possible to shift to the non-RT state. Specifically, in the first bonus state, more than 270 medals are paid out, and the value stored in the bonus end determination counter corresponds to a predetermined number of payouts (in the present embodiment). When the value "270") is reached, RBB1 or RBB2 is terminated and the gaming state is shifted to the non-RT state. In the first bonus state, the winning area "JAC" is set as the winning area for the small winning combination, and the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table E set to win the winning area "JAC" with an extremely high probability. ..

Further, when the winning symbol combination of CBB is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the game state transition control means 170 operates the CBB as a bonus state transition control process and the game state. Is executed from the game state in the game in which the CBB is won to the second bonus state. When the state shifts to the second bonus state, the game state shift control means 170 starts a process of adding a value to the bonus end determination counter. From the second bonus state, it is possible to shift to the game state in the game in which the CBB is won. Specifically, when the CBB is won in a non-RT state in the game state and the second bonus state is started by winning the CBB, more than 28 medals are paid out and the bonus ends. When the value stored in the determination counter reaches a value corresponding to a predetermined number of payouts (value "28" in the present embodiment), the CBB is terminated and the game state is won by the CBB. It shifts to the non-RT state which is the state.

The advantageous period control means 400A includes an advantageous period (advantageous section), which is a period during which a game capable of executing a winning assistance control that assists a winning of a specific combination is executed, and a period during which a game in which the winning assistance control is not executed is executed. Perform control over the transition between a non-advantageous period (non-advantageous interval). In the advantageous period control means 400A of the present embodiment, as a control relating to the transition between the advantageous period and the non-advantageous period, the set value stored in the set value storage means 191 is eventually stored in the game within the non-advantageous period. Even if the value is, the winning probability does not change, and if the winning area that can be won in any of the non-RT state to RT2 states, that is, the winning area with no setting difference is won, the non-RT state is not set. An advantageous period lottery is executed, which is a lottery for determining whether or not to end the advantageous period and start the advantageous period. The advantageous period control means 400A is configured so that the advantageous period transition lottery is not executed even when the winning area where there is no setting difference is won when the gaming state is the bonus established state.

In the advantageous period transition lottery, the advantageous period control means 400A first associates "start of advantageous period" and "loss (unwinning)" with each of a plurality of random numbers from the advantageous period control data storage means 197. Acquire the advantageous period transition lottery table which is the data table. Then, the advantageous period control means 400A acquires a random number from the random number generation means 110, compares the acquired random number with the advantageous period transition lottery table, and determines whether or not to start the advantageous period based on the comparison result. The advantageous period control data storage means 197 also stores various flags that are set to the ON state or the OFF state by a predetermined control process executed by the advantageous period control means 400A within the advantageous period.

When the condition for ending the advantageous period is satisfied, the advantageous period control means 400A executes an end process which is a process of ending the advantageous period and starting the non-advantageous period from the next game. Further, the advantageous period control means 400A turns on the advantageous period notification unit 500A when the advantageous period is started, and turns off the advantageous period notification unit 500A when the non-advantageous period is started.

In the present embodiment, the winning areas that trigger the advantageous period control means 400A to execute the advantageous period transition lottery by winning in the internal lottery are the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6". Area "common bell role", winning area "rare role", winning area "missing role", winning area "normal replay 1", winning area "rare replay", winning area "RBB1", winning area "CBB".

The instruction function state control means 400B is an instruction function state among a plurality of instruction function states including an AT state in which the winning assistance control can be executed when the advantage period is started by the advantage period control means 400A. Control related to the instruction function (assist time control) including control related to the transition of. In the present embodiment, the instruction function state control means 400B has won the internal lottery means 120 as a control for increasing the probability that a specific winning combination will win when the instruction function state is a state in which the winning assistance control can be executed. By creating different winning commands according to the winning areas and transmitting the created winning commands to the main control display device 500, it is notified which winning area is won in the internal lottery, and the game is played. It is configured so that the notification display, which is a function (instruction function) for instructing a person to operate the stop buttons B1 to B3, can execute the winning auxiliary control, which is the control executed by the main control display device 500. There is. Here, the winning area subject to the winning assistance control includes the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" and the winning area "batting order replay 1" to the winning area "batting order replay 6". Is done. In addition, the winning combination (specific role) whose winning probability is increased by the winning auxiliary control is the winning bell in the winning area "Batting Order Bell 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Bell 6", and the winning area "Batting Order Replay 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Bell 6". This is the RT2 transition replay at the time of winning the batting order replay 6 ".

Further, when the AT state is executed by the instruction function state control means 400B, the effect control means 180 is an effect of assisting the winning of a specific combination based on the winning command transmitted from the internal lottery means 120. To execute. For example, the effect control means 180 sets the correct batting order in which the bell can be won when a winning command indicating that the winning area "batting order bell 1" is won in the internal lottery is transmitted from the internal lottery means 120. The prize-winning auxiliary effect notified by is executed.

Next, the details of the advantageous period in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing details of a non-advantageous period and an advantageous period controlled by the advantageous period control means 400A of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the non-advantageous period is a period during which the winning assistance control by the instruction function state control means 400B is not executed. When the advantageous period control means 400A determines "start of the advantageous period" in the advantageous period transition lottery triggered by winning the winning area other than the winning area "RBB1" and the winning area "CBB", that is, the advantageous period When you win in the transition lottery, when you win in the advantageous period transition lottery triggered by winning the winning area "RBB1", and when the RBB wins in the game that won the winning area "RBB1", and when the winning area "RBB1" If you win in the advantageous period transition lottery triggered by winning the "CBB" and the CBB wins in the game that won the winning area "CBB", the non-advantageous period ends in this game and the next game Start the advantageous period from. Further, if the advantageous period control means 400A is won in the advantageous period transition lottery triggered by winning the winning area "RBB1" and the RBB is not won in the game won in the winning area "RBB1", this time. The non-advantageous period ends in the game of, and the waiting period starts from the next game.

The waiting period is a period during which all processing related to the instruction function by the advantageous period control means 400A is prohibited. When the waiting period is started, the advantageous period control means 400A continues the waiting period until the RBB1 wins, and when the RBB1 wins, the waiting period ends in the game in which the RBB1 wins, and the advantageous period is started from the next game. Start.

The advantageous period is a period during which processing related to the instruction function by the instruction function state control means 400B can be executed. When the advantageous period is started, the advantageous period control means 400A sets a value (for example, 1500 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the advantageous period end determination counter 198 of the main memory means 190 from the game that started the advantageous period. Then, every time one game is executed, the value "1", which is a value corresponding to one game, is subtracted (updated) from the stored value of the advantageous period end determination counter 198, and the game of 1500 games is executed. That is, when the stored value of the advantageous period end determination counter 198 becomes a value "0", it is determined that the specific end condition is satisfied as the condition for ending the advantageous period, and the advantageous period is ended and it is not advantageous from the next game. Execute the end process to start the period. Further, the advantageous period control means 400A is an end lottery for determining whether or not the advantageous period is terminated when at least one winning auxiliary control is executed or RBB1 or RBB2 is activated during the advantageous period. When the "end of advantageous period" is determined in, it is determined that the normal end condition is satisfied as the condition for ending the advantageous period, and the end process of ending the advantageous period and starting the non-advantageous period from the next game is executed. To do. At the time of execution of the termination process, the advantageous period control means 400A initializes all the information used in various control processes in the advantageous period, such as each flag set to the ON state in the advantageous period and the value set in the advantageous period.

In addition, the advantageous period control means 400A subtracts the value "1" from the stored value of the advantageous period end determination counter every time one game is executed even when RBB1 or RBB2 wins during the advantageous period. Further, the instruction function state control means 400B is a winning area in which the winning probability varies depending on the case where the gaming state becomes a bonus established state during the advantageous period and the set value stored in the set value storage means 191. When RBB2, which is a bonus included in "RBB2", is operating, and when RBB2 is operating, control related to the instruction function based on the winning area won by the internal lottery means 120 excluding the winning assistance control is not executed. Has been done.

The operation record control means 600 is provided on the main control unit 10, and is an operation record that can be displayed by the ratio display device 610 as an operation record display device capable of displaying an operation record including a record from the initial operation of the main control unit 10. A plurality of arithmetic processes, which are processes for calculating the above, and control of transmitting the result of the arithmetic processing to the ratio display device 610 and displaying the results on the ratio display device 610 are executed. Here, the initial operation, which is the time when the recording of the operation record is started, refers to the time when the slot machine 1 is manufactured and completed and the first game is played, and is the first time at the time of shipping inspection at the factory where the slot machine 1 is manufactured. When a game is played, it means the time when the game is executed for the first time at the time of the shipping inspection, and when the game is executed for the first time after being installed in the game hall, the game is played after being installed in the game hall. Means the time when was first executed.

The operation record control means 600 sets the time when the game is first executed after being installed in the game hall as the time of the initial operation, even if the game is played at the time of shipping inspection, as the time of the initial operation. Also, even if the clerk of the amusement park plays the game for confirmation (inspection) after it is installed in the amusement park, the first game is executed by the player instead of the clerk of the amusement park. The time point may be set as the time point of initial operation.

First, the arithmetic processing related to the operation record executed by the operation record control means 600 will be described. The operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment has, as an operation record, a first-class special combination with respect to the advantageous period stay ratio, which is the ratio of the total number of games in the advantageous period to the total number of games, and the number of medals paid out by the game machine. The ratio of the number of medals paid out by the game machine during the operation of the object to the number of medals paid out by the game machine to the ratio of the number of medals paid out by the game machine during the operation of the object. Executes a plurality of arithmetic processes for calculating the accessory ratio.

In the present embodiment, the operation record control means 600 calculates a value in 6000 games and a value in the total number of games for the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio. Here, the bonus is a special device for facilitating winning, and the bonus is a first-class special bonus (regular bonus (RB)) and a second-class special bonus (challenge bonus (CB)). )), Ordinary characters (single bonus (SB)), etc. That is, the continuous bonus ratio is the ratio of the number of medals paid out by the game machine during the operation of the RB to the number of medals paid out by the game machine, and the bonus ratio is the ratio of the number of medals paid out by the game machine to the number of medals paid out by the game machine. , CB or SB is the ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during operation.

First, the method of calculating the advantageous period stay ratio will be described. In the present embodiment, the number of games and the number of games in the advantageous period are totaled as data for calculating the advantageous period stay ratio. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the main storage means 190 has an advantage of storing the total number of games counter 204 (an example of the total number of games storage means) for storing the total number of games and the total number of games in the advantageous period. A period game count counter 205 (an example of an advantageous period game count storage means) is provided, and these counters are composed of storage areas of 3 bytes each preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10, and are the maximum storable. A value, that is, an upper limit value that is an upper limit of a storable value, is a value that can be stored in a storage area of 3 bytes (for example, a value "" from a capacity (3 bytes) preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10. 16777215 ").

Then, the operation record control means 600 is an increment update that adds a constant value (for example, a value "1") corresponding to one game to the stored value of the total number of games counter 204 each time the game is played. I do. In the present embodiment, when the stored value of the total number of games counter 204 is equal to or less than the upper limit value and the total number of games counter 204 can be incremented and updated, the game state transition control means 170 controls when the game is played. The total number of games counter 204 is incremented and updated regardless of the game state and the period controlled by the advantageous period control means 400A. On the other hand, the advantageous period game count counter 205 corresponds to one game in the stored value of the advantageous period game counter 205 for each game played only in the advantageous period. Increment update is performed to add a constant value "1". The update of the advantageous period game number counter 205 is started from the next game of the game that won the advantageous period transition lottery in the non-advantageous period. However, if the lottery for shifting to the advantageous period based on the winning of RBB1 or CBB is won, the game starts from the next game of the game in which the bonus is won (the game in which the process of shifting to the advantageous period is performed). As described above, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment updates the total number of games stored in the total number of games counter 204 each time one game is played, and one game is performed in an advantageous period. Every time it is played, an update process is performed to update the total number of games in the advantageous period stored in the advantageous period game number counter 205.

Then, the operation record control means 600 is based on the total number of games (A1) stored in the total number of games counter 204 and the total number of games in the advantageous period (A2) stored in the advantageous period game number counter 205. , "(A2 x 100) / A1" is performed to calculate the advantageous period stay ratio (%), and the calculated advantageous period stay ratio is overwritten in the predetermined storage area of the ratio storage means 203 and stored. Let me. The operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment calculates the advantageous period stay ratio for each game, and specifically, the total number of games is updated every time one game is played, and if it is an advantageous period. After performing the renewal process to update the total number of games in the advantageous period, the advantage period stay ratio is calculated.

Next, a method for calculating the continuous accessory ratio and the accessory ratio will be described. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, RBB (RBB1, RBB2) and CBB are provided as bonuses. In RBB, RB operates continuously regardless of the display of the winning symbol combination of RB, and in CBB, CB operates continuously regardless of the display of the winning symbol combination of CB. There is. Then, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment uses the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 as data for calculating the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio, the number of medals paid out, and the first-class special bonus. The number of continuous bonuses paid out, which is the number of medals paid out by the game machine during operation, and the number of bonuses paid out, which is the number of medals paid out by the game machine during operation of the bonuses, are totaled.

Specifically, when the operation record control means 600 is in the first bonus state that shifts with the winning of the RBB, the operation record control means 600 is in a state in which the RB, which is a first-class special accessory, is operating in all the games. From, the number of payouts in the first bonus state is totaled as the number of continuous bonus payouts and the number of payouts of bonuses, and in the case of the second bonus state that shifts with the winning of CBB, one of the bonuses in all games. Since one CB is in operation, the number of payouts in the second bonus state is totaled only as the number of bonus payouts. That is, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment aggregates the number of payouts in the first bonus state as the number of continuous bonus payouts, and totals the number of payouts in the first bonus state or the second bonus state as the number of bonus payouts. .. Further, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment is one of 15 divisions of the 6000 games as data for calculating the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the 6000 games (an example of a predetermined aggregation period). While totaling the number of medals paid out for the above three types of medals in 400 games (an example of a predetermined standard aggregation period), which is the number of games for a set, the above three types for 15 sets with 400 games as one set. The number of medals paid out is counted individually for each set.

As shown in FIG. 7, the main storage means 190 of the present embodiment stores the cumulative total of 400 games for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts. (Example of period cumulative storage means) and 15 sets of individual storage that individually stores data for 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts, with 400 games as one set. Means 200 (an example of a standard total period cumulative individual storage means) and 15 sets cumulative storage means 201 (predetermined total period cumulative storage) that stores a cumulative total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts. An example of the means), and a total cumulative storage means 202 for storing the total cumulative total for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts.

Further, the 400-time cumulative storage means 199 is a 400-time cumulative first counter 199a that stores the cumulative number of payouts in 400 games, and a 400-time cumulative second counter 199b that stores the cumulative number of continuous bonus payouts in 400 games. It also has a 400-time cumulative third counter 199c that stores the cumulative number of bonuses paid out in 400 games. These counters are composed of storage areas of 2 bytes each preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10.

The operation record control means 600 is a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 to the stored value of the first counter 199a of the cumulative total of 400 times (for example, when one game is played and the replay wins a prize). If one payout occurs, a process of adding a value "1") corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one medal is performed. When the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment executes the process of adding the stored values of the first counter 199a accumulated 400 times, the game state and advantageous period control means controlled by the game state transition control means 170. Regardless of the period controlled by 400A, the stored value of the cumulative first counter 199a 400 times is added. Further, the operation record control means 600 has a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 to the stored value of the second counter 199b accumulated 400 times (for example, one) only when the game state is the first bonus state. If the payout of medals occurs, the process of adding the value "1") corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one medal is performed. Further, the operation record control means 600 is a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 to the stored value of the third counter 199c accumulated 400 times only when the gaming state is the first bonus state or the second bonus state. (For example, a process of adding a value "1" corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one medal) is performed.

The operation record control means 600 transfers the data of the cumulative storage means 199 400 times to the individual storage means 200 for 15 sets for every 400 games played, and after the data of the total cumulative storage means 202 is updated, the data of the total cumulative storage means 202 is accumulated 400 times. It is a counter of the main storage means 190 for initializing the storage means 199, and is a counter for determining whether or not data for 400 games has been recorded in the cumulative storage means 199 400 times since the initialization. The stored value of the game 400 times counter 199d (see FIG. 2) is a fixed value (for example, a value "1") corresponding to one game for each game played, regardless of whether or not the medal is paid out. Performs an increment update to add. When the storage value of the 400-time counter 199d becomes the value "400", the operation record control means 600 determines that the data for 400 games has been recorded in the initialized 400-time cumulative storage means 199, and 400 The data of the total cumulative storage means 199 is transferred to the individual storage means 200 for 15 sets, and after the data of the total cumulative storage means 202 is updated, the 400 times cumulative storage means 199 and the game 400 times counter 199d are initialized.

In this way, the operation record control means 600 stores the cumulative total of 400 games in the cumulative storage means 199 400 times. The operation record control means 600 is not limited to a configuration in which the determination as to whether or not 400 games have been performed is determined based on the stored value of the game 400 times counter 199d, for example, the stored value of the total number of games counter 204. It may be configured to make a determination based on.

As shown in FIG. 7, the 15-set individual storage means 200 individually collects data for 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts, with 400 games as one set. As a storage area to be stored, 15 areas of 2 bytes each preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10 are provided for each number of payouts. In each storage area of the 15-set individual storage means 200, the cumulative data of 400 games (1 set) is stored. About the number of payouts 15 storage areas for individually storing 15 sets of individual cumulative totals for each set, and 15 storage areas for individually storing 15 sets of individual cumulative totals for each set of continuous bonus payouts Ring buffer that stores 15 sets of individual cumulative totals for each set individually. Each of the 15 storage areas stores data sequentially from the beginning of the storage area and returns to the beginning when the end of the storage area is reached. It is configured as. Therefore, for example, when the data of the 16th set is stored in the state where the individual storage means 200 of the 15 sets stores the data of the 1st to 15th sets, the storage area in which the data of the 1st set is stored is stored. The 16th set of data is overwritten, whereby the latest data is overwritten and stored in the previously stored data.

Further, the 15-set cumulative storage means 201 has 3 bytes each preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10 as a storage area for storing the cumulative total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts. The total cumulative storage means 202 includes a total cumulative first counter 202a for storing the total cumulative number of payouts, a total cumulative second counter 202b for storing the total cumulative number of continuous bonus payouts, and a total cumulative number of bonus payouts. It is equipped with a total cumulative third counter 202c that stores the total cumulative total. The total cumulative first counter 202a to the total cumulative third counter 202c are composed of storage areas of 3 bytes each preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10, and the upper limit value which is the upper limit of the storable value is set. From the capacity (3 bytes) preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10, the value can be stored in the storage area of 3 bytes (for example, the value "16777215").

Then, every time the operation record control means 600 is played 400 times, in 400 games related to the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts stored in the cumulative storage means 199 400 times. The accumulated data (stored values of the 400-time cumulative first counter 199a, the 400-time cumulative second counter 199b, and the 400-time cumulative third counter 199c) is transferred to and stored in 15 sets of individual storage means 200. As described above, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment determines the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts stored in the cumulative storage means 199 400 times for every 400 games played. The cumulative data of 400 games for each is stored in the individual storage means 200 of 15 sets, and after 6000 games have passed, every time 400 games have passed, the payout stored in the cumulative storage means 199 of 400 times has passed. The cumulative data of 400 games related to the number is overwritten and stored in the cumulative data of 400 games related to the number of payouts stored first in the 15 sets individual storage means 200, and stored in the 400 times cumulative storage means 199. The cumulative data of the 400 consecutive games paid out for the number of consecutive bonuses paid out is overwritten and stored in the 15 sets individual storage means 200 by overwriting the cumulative data of the 400 games played with the number of consecutive bonuses paid out. Cumulative data of 400 games related to the number of bonuses paid out stored in the 400-time cumulative storage means 199, and cumulative data of 400 games related to the number of bonuses paid out first stored in the 15 sets individual storage means 200. Overwrite and memorize.

In addition, the operation record control means 600 updates the cumulative total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts every time the game is played 400 times. Specifically, when the latest data is stored in the 15 sets of individual storage means 200, the operation record control means 600 stores the total number of payouts for 15 sets, which is stored in the 15 sets of individual storage means 200. The total number of continuous bonuses paid out for a set and the total number of bonuses paid out for 15 sets are calculated, and the calculated cumulative total of 15 sets is overwritten in a predetermined storage area of the 15 sets cumulative storage means 201 and stored. Updates the cumulative total of 15 sets.

Then, the operation record control means 600 is based on the cumulative total of 15 sets of payouts (B1) and the cumulative total of 15 sets of continuous bonus payouts (B2) stored in the 15-set cumulative storage means 201. (B2 × 100) / B1 ”is performed to calculate the continuous bonus ratio (%) in 6000 games, and the cumulative total of 15 sets of payouts (B1) stored in the 15-set cumulative storage means 201. ) And the cumulative total of 15 sets of bonus payouts (B3), the calculation of "(B3 x 100) / B1" is performed to calculate the bonus ratio (%) in 6000 games, and the calculation is performed. The continuous accessory ratio and the accessory ratio are overwritten in a predetermined storage area of the ratio storage means 203 and stored.

As described above, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment updates the cumulative total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts every 400 games played. By calculating, the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in 6000 games are calculated.

The operation record control means 600 determines the number of medals to be paid out by the slot machine 1 to the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a of the total cumulative storage means 202, except when the replay wins when one game is played. A process of adding a corresponding value (for example, if one medal is paid out, a value "1" corresponding to the number of medals paid out) is performed. The operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment is equal to or less than the upper limit even if the number of payouts is added to the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a, and the value corresponding to the number of payouts is added to the total cumulative first counter 202a. When the processing of adding the number of payouts to the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a is executed in a possible state, the game state and advantageous period control means 400A controlled by the game state transition control means 170 control. The stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a is added regardless of the period during which the operation is performed. Further, the operation record control means 600 has a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 to the stored value of the total cumulative second counter 202b only when the game state is the first bonus state (for example, one card). If medals are paid out, a process of adding a value "1") corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one medal is performed. Further, the operation record control means 600 has a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 to the stored value of the total cumulative third counter 202c only when the gaming state is the first bonus state or the second bonus state ( For example, if one medal is paid out, a process of adding a value "1") corresponding to the number of medals paid out is performed.

In this way, the operation record control means 600 accumulates and counts the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts in the total cumulative storage means 202, thereby accumulating and counting the total cumulative total (total number of payouts, continuous bonus payouts). The total number and the total number of bonuses paid out) are memorized, and if the replay does not win, a process that can update the total cumulative total is executed every time one game is played.

The operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment is not limited to the case where the total cumulative total is updated every time one game is played, except when the replay wins a prize, and every time one or more medals are paid out. In this case, the total cumulative total 1st counter 202a is always updated every time a medal is paid out, and the medal is paid out only when the game state is the 1st bonus state. The total cumulative second counter 202b is updated each time it occurs, and the total cumulative third counter 202c is updated every time a medal is paid out only when the game state is the first bonus state or the second bonus state. You may. Further, the operation record control means 600 executes 400 games by adding each value stored in the 400 times cumulative storage means 199 to the total cumulative storage means 202 each time the game is executed 400 times. The total cumulative storage means 202 may be updated each time.

The operation record control means 600 sets the total cumulative number of payouts (C1) stored in the total cumulative first counter 202a and the total cumulative number of continuous bonuses paid out stored in the total cumulative second counter 202b (C2). Based on this, the process of calculating the continuous bonus ratio (%) in the total number of games by performing the calculation of "(C2 x 100) / C1" and the total cumulative total of the total number of payouts stored in the total cumulative first counter 202a ( Based on C1) and the total cumulative number of bonuses paid out (C3) stored in the total cumulative third counter 202c, the calculation of "(C3 x 100) / C1" is performed to obtain the bonus ratio in the total number of games played. %) Is calculated, and the calculated continuous accessory ratio and accessory ratio are overwritten in a predetermined storage area of the ratio storage means 203 and stored.

As described above, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment sets the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games and the bonus ratio in the total number of games each time the process of adding the stored values of the total cumulative storage means 202 is executed. calculate.

As described above, the 400-time cumulative storage means 199 of the present embodiment is initialized by the operation record control means 600 every time the game is played 400 times, but in other cases, the main control unit 10 Data is retained by not being initialized except when an error related to the RWM of the main control unit 10 occurs, such as an error of the RWM of the main control unit 10 or a backup error of the RWM of the main control unit 10. , The data is retained by not being initialized by the start or end of the first bonus state or the second bonus state, or the start or end of the advantageous period. Further, regarding the 15-set individual storage means 200, the 15-set cumulative storage means 201, the total cumulative storage means 202, the ratio storage means 203, the total game count counter 204, and the advantageous period game count counter 205, an error regarding the RWM of the main control unit 10 It is configured to retain data at all times without being initialized under any circumstances, except when the first bonus state or the second bonus state starts or ends, which is advantageous. It is configured so that data is retained without being initialized regardless of any trigger including the start or end of the period.

When an error related to RWM of the main control unit 10 occurs, 400 times cumulative storage means 199, 15 sets individual storage means 200, 15 sets cumulative storage means 201, total cumulative storage means 202, ratio storage means 203, total number of games counter By initializing 204 and the advantageous period game count counter 205, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can prevent the calculation using the RWM value whose reliability is lowered due to the occurrence of an error from being executed. it can.

Further, the 400-time cumulative storage means 199, 15 sets of individual storage means 200, 15 sets of cumulative storage means 201, total cumulative storage means 202, ratio storage means 203, total game count counter 204, and advantageous period game count counter 205 are game machines. The data is retained without being initialized by an operation on the operating means provided in the above.

Even if it is turned off, the data is retained without being initialized.

Therefore, the 3-byte total cumulative first counter 202a, the total cumulative second counter 202b, the total cumulative third counter 202c, the 3-byte total game count counter 204, and the 3-byte advantageous period game of the total cumulative storage means 202. The number-of-times counter 205 and the counter 205 are configured to stop counting when the stored value of each of these counters reaches the upper limit, but when the stored value of a predetermined counter reaches the upper limit. There is. Specifically, the counter that reaches the upper limit value first among the three types of counters of the total cumulative storage means 202 counts the number of payouts when payouts occur regardless of the game state. Since it is the total cumulative first counter 202a, when the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a reaches the upper limit, the total cumulative first counter 202a, the total cumulative second counter 202b, and the total cumulative third counter 202c are updated. To stop. Further, among the total number of games counter 204 and the advantageous period game number counter 205, the counter that first reaches the upper limit value is the total game that counts the number of games regardless of the period controlled by the advantageous period control means 400A. Since the number counter is 204, when the stored value of the total number of games counter 204 reaches the upper limit, the update of the total number of games counter 204 and the advantageous period game number counter 205 is stopped.

In the slot machine 1, for example, the RBB is won and won in a state where no medal is paid out from the initial operation of the slot machine 1, and even after the end of the RBB, the medal is paid out in the non-bonus state and the bonus established state. If the state of winning and winning the RBB continues to occur repeatedly, the stored values of all of the total cumulative first counter 202a to the total cumulative third counter 202c reach the upper limit at the same time, but even in such a case. The total cumulative second counter 202b or the total cumulative third counter 202c is configured so as not to reach the upper limit value before the total cumulative first counter 202a.

Therefore, when the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a reaches the upper limit value, the operation record control means 600 also reaches the upper limit value of the stored values of the total cumulative second counter 202b and the total cumulative third counter 202c. Since the stored values of the total cumulative second counter 202b and the total cumulative third counter 202c are less than the upper limit value, the total cumulative first counter 202a is based on the fact that the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a reaches the upper limit value. , The update of the total cumulative second counter 202b and the total cumulative third counter 202c is stopped.

Further, the slot machine 1 is configured so that the game is executed at the time of initial operation, that is, during the non-advantageous period for the first game. Therefore, in the slot machine 1, the storage value of the total number of games counter 204 is configured to reach the upper limit value before the storage value of the number of games counter 205 during the advantageous period. It should be noted that the slot machine 1 is configured so that the advantageous period transition lottery can be executed in the game at the initial operation, and the advantageous period is started from the game that wins the "start of the advantageous period" in the advantageous period transition lottery. If this is the case, the advantageous period can be started from the initial operation, and the total number of games counter 204 and the advantageous period game counter 205 are updated. In such a slot machine 1, every time the first game or the game in which the advantageous period ends and the non-advantage period starts, the advantageous period transition lottery is executed and the "start of the advantageous period" is won. By updating the total number of games counter 204 and the advantageous period game number counter 205 at the time of executing the game, the stored values of both the total number of games counter 204 and the advantageous period game number counter 205 reach the upper limit values at the same time. Even in such a case, the advantageous period game number counter 205 is configured so as not to reach the upper limit value before the total game number counter 204.

Therefore, when the storage value of the total game count counter 204 reaches the upper limit value, the operation record control means 600 also reaches the upper limit value of the storage value of the advantageous period game count counter 205 or stores the advantageous period game counter 205. Since the value is less than the upper limit value, the update of the advantageous period game count counter 205 is stopped based on the storage value of the total game count counter 204 reaching the upper limit value.

In this way, the advantageous period stay ratio in the total number of games recorded and calculated from the first operation of the main control unit 10 until the upper limit is reached, the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games, and the bonus in the total number of games The ratio constitutes a record from the initial operation of the main control unit 10 in the present embodiment. Further, the continuous bonus ratio in the 6000 games and the bonus ratio in the 6000 games, which are the values updated every 6000 games, constitute the operation record in the present embodiment.

3. 3. Control processing related to display in the ratio display device Next, with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in the display of the operation record in the ratio display device 610 executed by the operation record control means 600. Such processing will be described.

<Game control process>
FIG. 13A is a flowchart showing a control process executed by each means constituting the main control unit 10 in the game in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

First, the main control unit 10 executes the initialization process (S1). In this process, the main control unit 10 performs determination processing such as whether the backup data is normal and whether the setting change is appropriately reflected when the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, and the main storage means. It executes a process of initializing (clearing) various flag data and counter values stored in 190. The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment generates backup data at any time while the power is turned on and stores it in the backup storage means (not shown) of the main storage means 190, which causes an unexpected power failure. Even in such a case, it is possible to return to the state before the occurrence of the power failure by executing the initialization process.

Next, the main control unit 10 executes the game start control in order to start the control process related to one game (S2). In this process, the main control unit 10 executes the initialization (clearing) of the RWM that needs to be initialized at the start of each game and the game information display unit DS is turned off.

Next, among the main control units 10, the input reception means 105 executes the input reception control (S3). In this process, in the insertion receiving means 105, the player inserts the single bet button BT when the player inserts a specified number of medals into the medal insertion slot MI and when the medals are credited in excess of the specified number of insertions. When the pressing operation is performed the same number of times as the specified number of inputs or when the max bet button MB is pressed, the effective line L1 is activated and the start operation of the start lever SL is activated. Further, when the replay is won in the previous game and the replay process by the replay processing means 160 is executed and set to the ready state, the input receiving means 105 does not use the player's hand-held medal (including credit medal). The start operation of the start lever SL is performed with the same effective line L1 as the game in which the replay wins is set by executing the automatic insertion process in which the same number of medals as the specified number of medals in the game in which the replay wins is automatically inserted. To enable.

Next, the internal lottery means 120 of the main control unit 10 executes the internal lottery control (S4). In this process, the internal lottery means 120 acquires a random number value from the random number generation means 110 and stores it in the internal lottery table storage means, triggered by the start operation of the start lever SL and the detection of the start signal from the start switch 230. The internal lottery process for determining the winning area is executed using any of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E. Further, the internal lottery means 120 executes a symbol setting for setting information related to a symbol to be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1 when the reel stop control is executed by the reel control means 130.

Further, in this process, the advantageous period control means 400A is configured to be able to execute the advantageous period transition lottery based on the winning area in the case of the non-advantageous period, and in the case of the advantageous period, the advantageous period transition means can be executed. It is configured to be able to execute control processing related to the instruction function.

Next, the reel control means 130 of the main control unit 10 executes reel rotation control (S5). In this process, the reel control means 130 executes a reel rotation process for starting the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Then, the reel control means 130 enables a stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 when the rotation speeds of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 increase to a predetermined speed and become a steady rotation. Execute the activation process.

Next, the reel control means 130 of the main control unit 10 executes reel stop control (S6). In this process, the reel control means 130 stops the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons B1 to B3 when a valid stop signal is output from the stop switch 240. To do. When the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, the reel control means 130 is determined after the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed based on the winning area won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped within 190 ms as the stop time.

Next, the winning determination means 140 of the main control unit 10 executes the winning determination control (S7). In this process, the winning symbol combination 140 determines a predetermined winning symbol combination based on the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. Judge whether or not it corresponds to. Then, the winning determination means 140 causes the payout control means 150, the replay processing means 160, and the game state transition control means 170 to execute the processing corresponding to the winning combination.

Next, the payout control means 150 of the main control unit 10 executes payout control (S8). In this process, the payout control means 150 credits the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the winning small winning combination, triggered by the determination that the small winning combination has been won by the winning small winning combination 140. Further, when the credit exceeds the upper limit value (for example, 50 cards), the payout control means 150 pays the medals of the number of payouts exceeding the upper limit value of the credit from the hopper unit 320 to the medal payout exit MO. put out.

Next, the replay processing means 160 of the main control unit 10 executes the replay control (S9). In this process, the replay processing means 160 executes the replay process and puts it in the ready state when the winning determination means 140 determines that the replay has won a prize. If the winning determination means 140 determines that the replay has not won a prize, the main control unit 10 skips the process of step S9 and shifts the process to step S10.

Next, the game state transition control means 170 of the main control unit 10 executes the game state transition control (S10), and returns the process to step S2. In this process, the gaming state transition control means 170 is on the effective line L1 when the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 is the symbol combination related to the transition of the gaming state. The game state is shifted to the game state corresponding to the symbol combination displayed in. Specifically, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state to the RT2 state when the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130.

Further, the game state transition control means 170 executes a process of shifting the game state to the bonus arrangement state when RBB1 or RBB2 is won, and operates the winning bonus when RBB1, RBB2 or CBB wins. The process of causing and the process of ending the activated bonus are executed. For example, when the winning symbol combination of RBB1 is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the game state transition control means 170 operates the RBB1 to shift the game state to the first bonus state. Execute the process.

If the winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is not won in the internal lottery, or if the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 is used to control the reel stop, a symbol combination different from the symbol combination related to the transition of the gaming state or the bonus winning symbol combination is effective. When it is displayed on the line L1 and the bonus is not operating, the main control unit 10 skips the process of step S10 and shifts the process to step S2.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, one game is executed by executing the processes of steps S2 to S10.

<Payout control>
FIG. 13B is a flowchart showing the payout control executed by the payout control means 150 in step S8 of the game control process shown in FIG. 13A.

In the payout control by the payout control means 150, the payout control means 150 first determines whether or not a small winning combination or replay has won a prize in this game (S21). In this process, in the winning determination control by the winning determination means 140 (see step S7 of FIG. 13A), the payout control means 150 wins a small winning combination of winning symbols or a replay by controlling the reel stop by the reel controlling means 130. It is determined whether or not it is determined that the symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L1.

In the process of step S21, if it is determined that the small winning combination or replay has won a prize (YES), the payout control means 150 is predetermined to the winning small winning combination if the winning winning combination is a small winning combination. The number of medals to be paid out in this game is determined based on the payouts, and if the winning combination is a replay, the number of medals to be paid out is determined based on the specified number of medals to be inserted in this game. The number of payouts is set in the payout information storage means 151 (S22). In this process, for example, when it is determined that the bell has won a prize in this game, the payout control means 150 determines that the number of medals to be paid out is 9 based on the payout of the bell, and the payout counter 196 has 9 medals. Set the value "9" corresponding to. Further, when the payout control means 150 determines that the replay has won a prize in the current game by referring to the replay winning storage means 161 and the specified number of inserted cards in the current game is three, the current game The number of medals to be paid out is determined to be three, which is the same as the number of automatically inserted medals, and the value "3" corresponding to the three medals is set in the payout information storage means 151.

After executing the process of step S22 or in the process of step S21, if it is determined that the small winning combination has not won in the current game (NO), the payout control means 150 records the operation in the operation record control means 600. Arithmetic processing is executed (S23). In this process, the payout control means 150 first prohibits the execution of the interrupt process by the main control unit 10. Next, the payout control means 150 saves the data used in the used area from the register to the back register. Then, the payout control means 150 calls the operation record control means 600 described in another area of the ROM to cause the operation record control means 600 to execute the operation record calculation process.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the small winning combination or the replay does not win, that is, the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the bonus winning symbol combination such as RBB1, RBB2, CBB is an effective line. Payout information is stored when medals are not paid out, such as when the stop display is displayed on L1 or when a symbol combination different from any of the winning symbol combinations of multiple types of combinations is stopped and displayed on the valid line L1. It is configured so that the initial value "0" is maintained as the storage value of the means 151.

After the operation record calculation process by the operation record control means 600 is completed, the payout control means 150 executes the payout process (S24) and ends the payout control. In this process, the payout control means 150 credits the payout number of medals determined to be paid out in this game when the small winning combination wins. When the credit exceeds the upper limit (for example, 50), the payout control means 150 pays the medals exceeding the upper limit of the credit out of the number of payouts from the hopper unit 320 to the medal payout exit MO. put out.

<Operation record calculation processing>
FIG. 14 shows an operation record when the operation record control means 600 is called by the payout control means 150, which is a module of the used area, in the process of the payout control step S23 by the payout control means 150 shown in FIG. 13 (B). It is a figure which shows the operation record calculation processing which is the subroutine executed by the control means 600.

In the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment, the effective stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed after the start lever SL is started, and the symbols are combined on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Is displayed, and the winning / non-winning of the winning combination is determined by the winning determination means 140, so that the advantageous period displayed on the ratio display device 610 at the time of executing the payout control after the result of one game is obtained. A numerical value indicating the stay ratio, a numerical value indicating the continuous character ratio in 6000 games, a numerical value indicating the character ratio in 6000 games, a numerical value indicating the continuous character ratio in the total number of games, and a combination in the total number of games. The numerical value indicating the object ratio and the operation record calculation process to be calculated are executed.

In the operation record calculation process, first, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the winning combination in this game is a replay (S31). In this process, the operation record control means 600 sets a value in the payout information storage means 151 by the payout control means 150 based on the information for determining whether or not the replay stored in the replay prize storage means 161 has won. It is determined whether the role that triggered the game is a small role or a replay.

If it is determined in the process of step S31 that the replay has won a prize in this game (YES), the operation record control means 600 may reinsert the medals but pay out the medals from the hopper unit 320. 400 times to total the number of medals shown in steps S32 to S36 in order to prevent the number of medals stored in the payout information storage means 151 from being added to the cumulative storage means 199 when the replay is won. The process proceeds to step S37 without executing the process of adding the number of payouts to the cumulative storage means 199.

It operates by determining whether or not the replay has won, based on the information that determines whether or not the replay stored in the replay winning storage means 161 is won, not the value stored in the payout information storage means 151. If the record control means 600 wins a small winning combination in which the same number of payouts as the specified number of inputs in this game is set, the record control means 600 determines that the winning combination is not a replay winning prize but a small winning combination, and the payout information storage means 151 is used. A value equal to the stored specified number of inputs can be added to the cumulative storage means 199 400 times.

If it is determined in the process of step S31 that the replay has not won in the current game (NO), the operation record control means 600 pays out a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out in the current game. The stored value of the information storage means 151 is added to the cumulative first counter 199a 400 times (S32).

Next, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the current game is a game in the bonus state (S33). In this process, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not any of RBB1, RBB2, and CBB is operating in this game, and it is said that either RBB1, RBB2, or CBB is operating. If it is determined (YES), the stored value of the payout information storage means 151, which is a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out in this game, is added to the cumulative third counter 199c 400 times (S34).

Next, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the game this time is a game in the first bonus state (S35). In this process, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not either RBB1 or RBB2 is operating in this game, and when it is determined that either RBB1 or RBB2 is operating. (YES) adds the stored value of the payout information storage means 151, which is a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out in this game, to the second counter 199b accumulated 400 times (S36).

As described above, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment executes the processes of steps S32 to S36 regardless of the value stored in the payout information storage means 151 in the game in which the replay has not won a prize. It is configured to add the stored values of the cumulative storage means 199 400 times. That is, the operation record control means 600 is different from the bonus winning symbol combinations such as RBB1, RBB2, and CBB and the winning symbol combinations of any of the plurality of types of combinations due to the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in this game. Even when the number of medals to be paid out is 0, such as when the combination is stopped and displayed on the valid line L1, the value “1” which is the stored value of the payout information storage means 151 in the processes of step S32, step S34, and step S36. It is configured to execute the process of adding "0".

After executing the process of step S36, if it is determined in the process of step S31 that the replay has won a prize in the current game (YES), in the process of step S33, the game in a game state other than the bonus state. If it is determined that the game is (NO) or in the process of step S35, if it is determined that the current game is a game in the second bonus state (NO), the operation record control means 600 is a single game. Is executed, the increment update is executed in which the value "1", which is a value corresponding to one game, is added to the stored value of the counter 199d for 400 games (S37). Next, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not 400 games have been executed (S38). In this process, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the storage value of the game 400 times counter 199d is the value "400", and thereby, from the time when the 400 times cumulative storage means 199 is initialized, 400 games are played. It is determined whether or not the game has been executed.

If it is determined in the process of step S38 that 400 games have been executed (YES), the operation record control means 600 puts the 15 sets of individual storage means 200 configured as the ring buffer into the first counters 199a and 400, which are cumulative 400 times. The stored values of the cumulative second counter 199b and the cumulative third counter 199c are transferred and stored (S39). Next, the operation record control means 600 executes the cumulative update process (S40). In this process, the operation record control means 600 includes the total number of payouts for 15 sets stored in the 15 sets individual storage means 200, the total number of payouts for 15 sets of continuous bonuses, and the combination of 15 sets. The total number of items to be paid out is calculated, and each cumulative total of the calculated 15 sets is stored in the 15-set cumulative storage means 201.

Next, the operation record control means 600 initializes the cumulative storage means 199 400 times (S41). In this process, the operation record control means 600 stores the numerical values for 400 games in the cumulative storage means 199 400 times, and reflects the stored numerical values in the 15 sets of individual storage means 200 and the total cumulative storage means 202. Therefore, in order to enable counting of 400 games again, the cumulative storage means 199 is initialized 400 times, that is, the value "0" is set as the storage value.

Next, the operation record control means 600 calculates the continuous bonus ratio in the 6000 games and the bonus ratio in the 6000 games (S42). In this process, the operation record control means 600 calculates the value of the continuous bonus ratio at 6000 games and the value of the bonus ratio at 6000 games.

When calculating the value of the continuous bonus ratio in 6000 games, the operation record control means 600 stores the cumulative total of 15 sets of the number of payouts (B1) and the number of continuous bonus payouts stored in the 15 sets cumulative storage means 201. Based on the cumulative total (B2) of 15 sets of the above, the continuous accessory ratio (= (B2 × 100) / B1) (%) in 6000 games is calculated and stored in the ratio storage means 203.

When calculating the value of the accessory ratio in 6000 games, the operation record control means 600 stores the cumulative total (B1) of 15 sets of the number of payouts and 15 of the number of payouts of the bonus stored in the 15 sets cumulative storage means 201. Based on the cumulative total of sets (B3), the bonus ratio (= (B3 × 100) / B1) (%) in 6000 games is calculated and stored in the ratio storage means 203.

After executing the process of step S42 or in the process of step S38, when it is determined that the stored value of the game 400 times counter 199d is not the value "400" (NO), the operation record control means 600 determines the number of games. Start the game count totaling process. In the game count totaling process, the operation record control means 600 first executes a number addition process, which is a process for adding the stored values of the total game count counter 204 (S43). In this process, since the operation record control means 600 has executed one game, the total number of games counter is added in order to add the value "1", which is a value corresponding to one game, to the total number of games counter 204. The number-of-times addition process for calculating the result of adding the value "1" to the stored value of 204 is executed.

Next, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the value calculated by the number-of-times addition process executed in the process of step S43 exceeds the upper limit value that can be stored in the total number of games counter 204 (S44). In this process, the operation record control means 600 has an upper limit in which the value calculated by the number-of-times addition process can be stored in the 3-byte total game count counter 204, which is a preset capacity in the RWM of the main control unit 10. It is judged whether or not the value is exceeded.

When the operation record control means 600 determines that the value calculated by the number-of-games addition process exceeds the upper limit of the total number of games counter 204 (YES), the value calculated by the number-of-games addition process is set to the total number of games counter 204. That is, the process proceeds to step S49 without being stored in the RWM of the main control unit 10. On the other hand, when the operation record control means 600 determines that the value calculated by the number-of-times addition process does not exceed the upper limit value of the total number of games counter 204 (NO), one game is executed. Increment update is executed by adding the value "1", which is a value corresponding to the game, to the stored value of the total number of games counter 204 (S45). In this process, the operation record control means 600 adds 1 to the stored value of the total game count counter 204, so that the result of the count addition process executed in the process of step S43 is stored in the RWM of the main control unit 10.

Next, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the current game is a game executed in a state where the advantageous period is started by the advantageous period control means 400A (S46). In this process, if it is determined that the current game is a game executed with the advantageous period started (YES), the operation record control means 600 stores the stored value of the advantageous period game number counter 205. 1 is added (S47). In this process, since the operation record control means 600 has executed one game with the advantageous period started, the value "1", which is a value corresponding to one game, is set to the advantageous period game count counter 205. Performs an increment update to add. The process of step S47 constitutes a process of totaling the cumulative number of advantageous period games, which is the cumulative number of times the game is executed in a state where the advantageous period is started by the advantageous period control means 400A in the present embodiment.

By executing the processes of steps S46 and S47, the operation record control means 600 sets the cumulative number of advantageous period games, which is the cumulative number of times the game is executed with the advantageous period started by the advantageous period control means 400A. The number of games played during the advantageous period can be totaled.

After executing the process of step S47 or in the process of step S46, if it is determined that the current game is not a game executed with the advantageous period started (NO), the operation record control means 600 , The value of the advantageous period ratio, the value of the continuous bonus ratio at 6000 games and the total number of games, and the value of the bonus ratio at 6000 games and the total number of games. Among them, the advantageous period ratio calculation process for calculating the value of the advantageous period ratio is executed (S48). In this process, the operation record control means 600 sets the total number of games (A1) stored in the total number of games counter 204 and the total number of games (A2) in the advantageous section stored in the advantageous period game counter 205. Based on this, the advantageous period stay ratio (= (A2 × 100) / A1) (%) is calculated, and the calculated result is stored in the ratio storage means 203. The process of step S48 constitutes an advantageous period ratio calculation process, which is a process of calculating an advantageous period ratio which is a ratio of the cumulative number of games and the cumulative number of advantageous period games in the present embodiment. Further, the advantageous period stay ratio constitutes the advantageous period ratio in the present embodiment.

After executing the process of step S48 or in the process of step S44, when it is determined that the value calculated by the number-of-times addition process exceeds the upper limit value of the total number of games counter 204 (YES), the operation record control means 600 determines. It is determined whether or not the winning combination in this game is a replay (S49). In this process, the operation record control means 600 sets a value in the payout information storage means 151 by the payout control means 150 based on the information for determining whether or not the replay stored in the replay prize storage means 161 has won. It is determined whether the role that triggered the game is a small role or a replay.

If it is determined in the process of step S49 that the replay has won a prize in this game (YES), the operation record control means 600 may reinsert the medals but pay out the medals from the hopper unit 320. In order to prevent the number of medals to be paid out stored in the payout information storage means 151 from being added to the total cumulative storage means 202 at the time of winning a non-replay, the total cumulative number of medals shown in steps S49 to S54 is totaled. The operation record calculation process is completed without executing the process of adding the number of payouts to the means 202 and the process of calculating the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games and the bonus ratio in the total number of games.

It operates by determining whether or not the replay has won, based on the information that determines whether or not the replay stored in the replay winning storage means 161 is won, not the value stored in the payout information storage means 151. If the record control means 600 wins a small winning combination in which the same number of payouts as the specified number of inputs in this game is set, the record control means 600 determines that the winning combination is not a replay winning prize but a small winning combination, and the payout information storage means 151 is used. A value equal to the stored specified input number can be added to the total cumulative storage means 202.

In the process of step S49, if it is determined that the replay has not won in the current game (NO), the operation record control means 600 is a process for adding the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a. The payout number addition process is executed (S50). In this process, the operation record control means 600 adds the stored value of the payout information storage means 151, which is a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out in this game, to the total cumulative first counter 202a. The payout number addition process for calculating the result of adding the stored value of the payout information storage means 151 to the stored value of the first counter 202a is executed.

Next, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the value calculated by the payout number addition process executed in the process of step S50 exceeds the upper limit value that can be stored in the total cumulative first counter 202a (S51). ). In this process, the operation record control means 600 may store the value calculated by the payout number addition process in the total cumulative first counter 202a of 3 bytes, which is the capacity preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10. It is judged whether or not the upper limit that can be exceeded is exceeded.

When the operation record control means 600 determines that the value calculated by the payout number addition process exceeds the upper limit of the total cumulative number 1 counter 202a (YES), the operation record control means 600 sets the value calculated by the payout number addition process to the total cumulative total number 1. The operation record calculation process is terminated without being stored in the 1 counter 202a, that is, the RWM of the main control unit 10. On the other hand, when the operation record control means 600 determines that the value calculated by the payout number addition process does not exceed the upper limit value of the total cumulative first counter 202a (NO), it is stored in the payout information storage means 151. The value is added to the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a (S52). In this process, the operation record control means 600 mainly adds the result of the payout number addition process executed in the process of step S50 by adding the value stored in the payout information storage means 151 to the total cumulative first counter 202a. It is stored in the RWM of the control unit 10.

<Summary of this embodiment>
As described above, in the operation record calculation process shown in FIG. 14, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment pays out information storage means to the 400 times cumulative storage means 199 shown in steps S32 to S36 in the game in which the replay wins. The process of adding the stored value of 151, the process of adding the stored value of the payout information storage means 151 to the total cumulative storage means 202 shown in steps S50 to S56, the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games shown in step S57, and the continuous winning combination. It is configured not to execute the process of calculating the bonus ratio in the total number of games played.

Therefore, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment performs the processes of steps S32 to S36 and steps S50 to S50 when it is determined that the replay in which the medal is not paid out is won in the process of step S31 or the process of step S49. Since the process of step S57 is not executed, the time required for executing the processes of steps S32 to S36 and the processes of steps S50 to S57 out of the time required for the calculation of the operation record is set. Since it can be shortened when the replay wins, the time to execute the operation record calculation process becomes longer than the cycle for executing the interrupt process (about 1.49 ms), and one interrupt process is executed. By eliminating it, it is possible to prevent it from affecting the progress of the game.

Further, in the process of step S31 and the process of step S49, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment refers to the replay winning memory means 161 provided in the used area, and has the replay won a prize in this game? Whether or not it can be determined. Therefore, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a module in the used area that the operation record control means 600 refers to when determining whether or not the replay has been won at the time of executing the processes of steps S31 and S49. By executing the processes of steps S31 and S49 with reference to the replay winning storage means 161 provided in the above, the processing of steps S32 to S36 and the processing of steps S50 at the time of winning the replay without providing a new storage means. -It is possible to determine whether or not to omit the execution of the processing of step S57, and the processing of steps S32 to S36 and the processing of steps S50 to S57 are executed without increasing the capacity of the program. It is possible to shorten the time required for.

The processes of steps S31 and S49 constitute the determination process in the present embodiment. Further, the processes of steps S32 to S36 and the processes of steps S50 to S56 constitute the addition process in the present embodiment. Further, the 400-time cumulative storage means 199 and the total cumulative storage means 202 constitute the payout number storage means in the present embodiment.

Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, if the replay is won and the medal is not paid out in the operation record calculation processing by the operation record control means 600 included in the separate processing module described in the different area, step S31. If it is determined in the process of step S49, the process of steps S32 to S36 and the process of steps S50 to S57 are not executed, so that the step of the time required for the operation record calculation process is taken out. Since the time required to execute the processes of S32 to S36 and the processes of steps S50 to S57 can be shortened, the operation record calculation is performed by the game control processing module described in the used area. It is possible to prevent the game from being affected by the progress of the game.

Further, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment is calculated when the storage value of the total game count counter 204 reaches the upper limit value and the total game count counter 204 cannot be incremented and updated, that is, as a result of the process of step S43. When the value exceeds the upper limit of the total number of games counter 204, the process of updating (adding) the stored value of the total number of games counter 204 executed in the process of step S45, and the processes of steps S46 and S47 are executed. The process of updating (adding) the advantageous period game count counter 205 and the advantageous period ratio calculation process executed in the process of step S48 are configured not to be executed.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, by executing the process of step S45, the total number of games counter 204 is the upper limit value of either the total number of games counter 204 or the advantageous period game number counter 205. In the case of exceeding the above, the execution of the processes of steps S45 to S48 is stopped, so that the time required to execute the canceled processes of steps S45 to S48 can be shortened. It is possible to prevent the progress of the game from being affected by the fact that the time for executing the operation record calculation process becomes longer than the cycle for executing the interrupt process and one interrupt process is not executed. it can.

Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the total number of games counter 204 reaches the upper limit value before the advantageous period game number counter 205, that is, the upper limit can be reached by executing the processes of steps S45 to S48. Since the counters that have the potential are limited to the total number of games counter 204, refer to the total number of games counter 204 when determining whether or not the operation record control means 600 cancels the execution of the processes of steps S45 to S48. For example, the time required to execute the determination can be reduced by eliminating the need to execute the process of determining whether or not the stored value of the advantageous period game count counter 205 has reached the upper limit value. Since it can be shortened, the time for executing the operation record calculation process becomes longer than the cycle for executing the interrupt process (about 1.49 ms), and one interrupt process is not executed. , It can be prevented from affecting the progress of the game.

Further, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment is calculated when the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a reaches the upper limit value and the total cumulative first counter 202a cannot be incremented and updated, that is, by the process of step S50. When the value exceeds the upper limit of the total cumulative first counter 202a, the process of updating (adding) the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a executed in the process of step S52, and the processes of steps S53 and S54. The process of updating (adding) the total cumulative third counter 202c executed in step S55, the process of updating (adding) the total cumulative second counter 202b executed in the processes of steps S55 and S56, and the process of step S57 are executed. It is configured not to execute the process of calculating the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games and the bonus ratio in the total number of games.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the total cumulative first counter 202a out of the total cumulative first counter 202a to the total cumulative third counter 202c exceeds the upper limit value by executing the process of step S52. In the state, the execution of the processes of steps S52 to S57 is stopped, so that the time required to execute the canceled processes of steps S52 to S57 can be shortened, so that the operation record calculation can be performed. It is possible to prevent the progress of the game from being affected by the fact that the time for executing the process becomes longer than the cycle for executing the interrupt process and one interrupt process is not executed.

Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the total cumulative first counter 202a reaches the upper limit value before the total cumulative second counter 202b and the total cumulative third counter 202c, that is, the processes of steps S52 to S56 are executed. Since the counter that may reach the upper limit is limited to the total cumulative first counter 202a, when the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not to stop the execution of the processes of steps S52 to S57. , The process of determining whether or not the stored values of the total cumulative second counter 202b and the total cumulative third counter 202c have reached the upper limit values can be determined by referring to the total cumulative first counter 202a. Since it is not necessary to execute the above, the time required to execute the judgment can be shortened, so that the time for executing the operation record calculation process becomes longer than the cycle for executing the interrupt process, and once. It is possible to prevent the progress of the game from being affected by the fact that the interrupt processing of is not executed.

The total number of games counter 204 and the total cumulative first counter 202a constitute the first counter in the present embodiment. Further, the advantageous period game count counter 205, the total cumulative second counter 202b, and the total cumulative third counter 202c constitute the second counter in the present embodiment. Further, the process of step S45, the process of step S47, the process of step S52, the process of step S54, and the process of step S56 constitute the counter addition process in the present embodiment. Further, the process of step S48 and the process of step S57 constitute the ratio calculation process in the present embodiment. Further, the total cumulative first counter 202a constitutes the cumulative payout number counter in the present embodiment. Further, the total cumulative second counter 202b and the total cumulative third counter 202c constitute the bonus cumulative payout number counter in the present embodiment.

Further, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment executes the processes of steps S32 to S36 400 times regardless of the value stored in the payout information storage means 151 in the game in which the replay has not won a prize. In order to add the stored values of the cumulative storage means 199, by controlling the reel stop by the reel control means 130 in this game, a combination of bonus winning symbols such as RBB1, RBB2, and CBB, or a combination of winning symbols of a plurality of types of combinations. Even when the number of medals to be paid out is 0, such as when a different symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the effective line L1, in the processing of step S32, step S34, and step S36, the stored value of the payout information storage means 151 is used. It is configured to execute a process of adding a certain value "0".

Further, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment is when the result of the payout number addition process executed in the process of step S49 does not exceed the upper limit value of the total cumulative first counter 202a in the game in which the replay has not won a prize. Executes the processes of steps S52 to S56 and adds the stored values of the total cumulative storage means 202 regardless of the values stored in the payout information storage means 151. Therefore, the reel control means 130 in this game By the reel stop control by, the number of medals to be paid out is increased, such as when a bonus winning symbol combination such as RBB1, RBB2, CBB, or a symbol combination different from any winning symbol combination of multiple types of winning combinations is stopped and displayed on the effective line L1. Even when the number of sheets is 0, in the processes of step S52, step S54, and step S56, the process of adding the value "0" which is the stored value of the payout information storage means 151 is executed.

With this configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment pays out medals for the processes of steps S32 to S36 and the processes of steps S52 to S56 by the operation record control means 600 when the replay has not won a prize. The bonus is activated with the 400 times cumulative first counter 199a and the total cumulative first counter 202a, in which the increment update is executed while the bonus is operating and not operating, without executing the process of determining whether or not the bonus has been performed. Operation record control for each of a plurality of counters, that is, the 400-time cumulative second counter 199b, the 400-time cumulative third counter 199c, the total cumulative second counter 202b, and the total cumulative third counter 202c, in which the increment update is executed. By executing the processes of steps S32 to S36 and steps S52 to S56 by the means 600, medals are paid out, and medals that are unnecessary when the processes of steps S32 to S36 and steps S52 to S56 are executed. Since the process of determining whether or not the payout has occurred can be omitted and the time required for executing the processes of steps S32 to S36 and steps S52 to S56 can be shortened, the operation record calculation process can be performed. It is possible to prevent the progress of the game from being affected by the fact that the time for executing the above is longer than the cycle for executing the interrupt processing and one interrupt processing is not executed.

As described above, in the operation record calculation process shown in FIG. 14, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is an operation record control means even when the number of medals paid out is 0 when the replay has not won a prize. By executing the processes of steps S32 to S36 and steps S52 to S56 according to 600, medals are paid out, and medals that are unnecessary when executing the processes of steps S32 to S36 and steps S52 to S56 Since the process of determining whether or not the payout has occurred can be omitted and the time required for executing the processes of steps S32 to S36 and steps S52 to S56 can be shortened, the operation record calculation process can be performed.
