Gaming machine

Abstract

The objective is to achieve efficient control processing. [Solution] The CPU of the gaming machine is capable of executing a jackpot start process, which is a process related to the start of a jackpot, in special operation processing. The jackpot start process includes at least a first process that, if the special operation timer is "0", proceeds to the second process, and if the special operation timer is not "0", returns to the special operation process; a second process that sets the address of the jackpot opening setting table in a first pair register composed of general-purpose registers; a third process that calls a data storage process that stores data based on the address value stored in the first pair register; and a fourth process that calls a jackpot entry opening operation setting process.

Claims

[Claim 1] It is a gaming machine, A game control board equipped with a game control microprocessor that performs game control, The game includes a game control board equipped with a game control microprocessor that performs game control based on commands from the aforementioned game control board, The game control microprocessor comprises at least a CPU, a ROM storing a program executed by the CPU and information referenced by the program, and a RAM capable of storing information updated by the program. The CPU has at least multiple general-purpose registers of one byte each. The CPU is capable of executing a jackpot start process, which is a process related to the start of a jackpot, in special operation processing. The aforementioned jackpot start process includes a first process that, if the special operation timer is "0", proceeds to the second process, and if the special operation timer is not "0", returns to the special operation process. The second process involves setting the address of the jackpot opening setting table in the first pair register, which is composed of the general-purpose registers, A third process calls a data storage process that stores data based on the address value stored in the first pair register, A fourth process that calls the grand prize slot activation setting process, which includes at least the following: The CPU is capable of executing a large prize opening / closing process in the large prize opening operation setting process, which opens and closes the large prize opening. The aforementioned opening and closing process for the main prize slot is as follows: If the counter for opening and closing the main prize slot is "0", the fifth process returns to the main prize slot operation setting process; if the counter for opening and closing the main prize slot is not "0", the fifth process proceeds to the sixth process. The sixth process involves subtracting "1" from the counter for the number of times the main prize slot is opened and closed, A seventh process loads the number of times the main prize slot is opened and closed as a data value into the first register of the general-purpose registers, An eighth process involves loading the opening / closing pattern table address of the grand prize slot into a second pair register composed of the same registers as the first pair register, or into a second pair register composed of different general-purpose registers than the first pair register. A ninth process involves adding the data value stored in the first register to the address value stored in the second pair register, and then loading the contents of the address value stored in the second pair register into the first register as a new data value. The tenth process calls the special operation timer selection process, The 11th process involves loading special operation determination data as a set value into the first pair register, A 12th process that updates the grand prize solenoid data by taking the exclusive OR of the grand prize solenoid data and the setting value stored in the first pair register, at least, A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
