  The image ROM 86 stores dot data for forming an image. The video RAM 87 operates as a temporary memory when an image is formed by the image control IC 88.

  The internal configuration of the slot machine 1 described above is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the internal configuration. For example, a detachable memory card and / or PLD (Programmable Logic Device) may be configured so as to be attachable, and necessary information may be read from the memory card and / or PLD (Programmable Logic Device).

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present invention, coins, bills, or electronic valuable information (credits) corresponding to these are used as game values. However, the game value applicable to the present invention is not limited to this, and examples include medals, tokens, electronic money, and tickets.

  Next, display contents in the topper effect device 27 will be described. The topper effect device 27 includes a cumulative value of the number of accumulated games (hereinafter, referred to as “accumulated number of games”) that has been executed since a specific prize is awarded and a theoretical value of an interval at which the specific prize is established. (Hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “the prize winning theoretical value”) is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the cumulative number of games is displayed in a different display form depending on the number of games. A method for controlling the display contents will be described later.

  Subsequently, a main control program executed in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the main control process.

  First, when the power switch is turned on (power is turned on), the main control board 71 and the sub control board 72 are activated, and the controller 41 executes the initial setting process of step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1. . In this initial setting process, the main CPU 42 executes the BIOS stored in the ROM 44, expands the compressed data incorporated in the BIOS into the RAM 43, executes the BIOS expanded in the RAM 43, and executes various peripheral devices. Perform diagnosis and initialization. Further, the main CPU 42 writes a game program or the like from the ROM 44 to the RAM 43, and acquires payout rate setting data and country identification information. The main CPU 42 also performs an authentication process for each program during the execution of the initial setting process.

  Next, in S2, a winning interval theoretical value is acquired. Here, the winning interval theoretical value may be the winning interval theoretical value of JACKPOT or the number of games for insurance payout (a prize that is always given when the game is executed a predetermined number of times). These numerical values are stored in the RAM 43 or the like. Further, when the winning probability of JACKPOT is stored in the RAM 43 or the like, the winning interval theoretical value can be calculated by calculating the reciprocal of the probability value.

  In S3, the main CPU 42 sequentially reads out and executes game programs and the like from the RAM 43 and executes main game processing. By executing this main game process, a game is played in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment. The main game process is repeatedly executed while power is supplied to the slot machine 1.

  Next, specific processing of the main game processing in S3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the main game process in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment. Each program shown in the following flowchart is stored in the ROM 44 or the RAM 43 provided in the slot machine 1 and is executed by the main CPU 42.

  First, in S11, the main CPU 42 performs a start acceptance process. At this time, in the start acceptance process, the player inserts a coin and performs a bet operation using the BET button in the operation button 26.

  In S12, the main CPU 42 determines whether or not the start button in the operation button 26 has been pressed. This determination is made based on a signal input to the main CPU 42 in response to pressing of the start button. If the start button has not been pressed (S12: NO), the process returns to the start acceptance process (S11) again. Thereby, operations such as correction of the number of bets can be performed. On the other hand, when the start button is pressed (S12: YES), the bet number set based on the bet operation is subtracted from the credit number currently owned by the player and stored in the RAM 43 as bet information.

  In S13, the cumulative number of games is counted (incremented) after the specific prize is awarded until the current time. The counted cumulative number of games is stored in the RAM 43.

  In S14, a unit game process is performed. The unit game is a series of processes in which a symbol row is variably displayed on each reel, then stopped, and a prize is determined based on the stopped symbols.

  In S15, it is determined whether or not a specific prize has been established. As this specific prize, a big bonus, JACKPOT, or the like can be set as appropriate.

  In S16, processing based on a specific prize is performed. Thereafter, in S17, the cumulative number of games is reset. That is, the cumulative number of games is set to zero.

  In S18, the display mode of the topper effect device 27 is controlled based on the cumulative number of games.

  Next, display mode control processing will be described. This process is executed using the cumulative number of games and the winning interval theoretical value stored in the RAM 43. Further, the first display mode table, the second display mode table, and the third display mode table are used.

  First, the first display mode table will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the contents of the first display mode table. In this table, the cumulative number of games and the font size are associated. For example, when the cumulative number of games is “300”, it is defined that the cumulative number of games is displayed with the font size “40”.

  Next, the second display mode table will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the contents of the second display mode table. In this table, the cumulative number of games and the font are associated. For example, when the cumulative number of games is “300”, it is defined that the cumulative number of games is displayed in a “bold” font.

  Next, the third display mode table will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the contents of the third display mode table. In this table, the cumulative number of games and the background effect are associated. For example, when the cumulative number of games is “300”, it is displayed without a background effect. Moreover, as a background effect, the background shown to FIG. 10 (A), (B) is employable, for example.

  In addition, the numerical value and setting content prescribed | regulated by the 1st-3rd display mode table are only examples, and can be set suitably. Further, another display mode table for defining the font color or the like may be used.

  Further, a predetermined BGM may be output according to the cumulative number of games.

  Since the lottery of a specific prize is performed for each unit game, the ease of winning a specific prize in the next game does not change even if the game has continued to be lost. However, since the player tends to have a sense of expectation that the gaming machine in which the losing has continued will win in the next game, the display form of the topper effect device 27 is , You can sensibly inform the ease of winning.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a configuration of the topper effect device 27 when a plurality of gaming machines are connected and JACKPOT in the plurality of connected gaming machines is set as the specific prize will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 shows a case where one topper effect device 27 is installed above the four slot machines 1. In this case, any one of the lighting effect drive circuits 61 provided in each of the four slot machines 1 may control the display content of the topper effect device 27, or may be controlled by a server (not shown).

  Since the display contents in the topper effect device 27 are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

[Display mode table setting method]
Next, a method for setting numerical values in the display mode table will be described. It is set using the winning interval theoretical value acquired in S2 of FIG. In addition, the number of numerical ranges in the first display mode table (“5” in FIG. 12), the number of numerical ranges in the second display mode table (“5” in FIG. 12), The number of numerical ranges (“5” in FIG. 12) is acquired. And the numerical range which divided | segmented the winning interval theoretical value equally by the said number can be made into the numerical range of each display mode table.

  Note that the first to third display mode tables shown in FIG. 12 are merely examples, and the number of numerical ranges and the types of modes to be set can be set as appropriate.

  For example, when the winning interval theoretical value is “1000”, the numerical range shown in FIG. 12 is set. In addition, in the said example, although divided | segmented into the numerical range equally, this invention is not limited to this.

  In the display mode shown in FIG. 4, the display mode of the cumulative number of games is controlled using the cumulative number of games and the winning interval theoretical value, but the numerical display data determined in the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 13A, the acquired winning interval theoretical value and the cumulative number of games can be displayed in a fractional format. At this time, the display mode of the cumulative number of games may be changed as in the above-described embodiment.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the result of dividing the cumulative number of games by the winning interval theoretical value may be displayed in a percentage format. At this time, the display mode may be changed based on the percentage value.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13C, the relationship between the cumulative number of games and the winning interval theoretical value may be displayed in a graph format.

  In the embodiment described above, the display contents of the topper effect device 27 are controlled by the processor of the slot machine 1, but the topper effect device 27 itself is configured to have an independent processor, and the processor is used. The display control of the topper effect device 27 may be performed. According to such a configuration, it can be realized as a detachable display on the gaming machine.

  Note that the above-described flowchart is merely an example, and the process may be realized by another flowchart as long as it can obtain a result equivalent to the above-described process.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, Of course, various improvement and deformation | transformation are possible within the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. The present invention can also be realized as a display method for executing the above-described processing. Furthermore, the present invention can also be realized as a program for causing the computer to execute the display method and a recording medium on which the program is recorded.
