Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a predetermined winning according to a display result of a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable.

  A slot machine generally includes a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels on which a plurality of types of symbols as identification information are drawn on the outer periphery, and first, a bet number is determined by a player's BET operation. The reels start to rotate when the start operation is performed with the set number of bets set, and the rotation is stopped by operating a stop button provided corresponding to each reel. When all reels stop rotating, a winning combination is generated when a predetermined winning symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter referred to as a symbol combination) is arranged on the winning line. To do.

  These winning combinations include special roles with a transition to a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player, small roles with the addition of gaming values such as medals, and replays that can be played without using gaming values. There is a re-playing role accompanied by a game. These winning prizes are generally those that allow winning of the winning combination on the condition that the winning lottery performed at the same time as the start operation is won, and the combination of symbols constituting the winning combination in the winning lottery It is controlled so that it can be aligned with an effective line, and it is controlled so that a combination of symbols constituting a combination that is not won in the combination lottery is not aligned with an effective line.

  In this type of slot machine, the game is controlled to a specific game state such as RT that is advantageous to the player, and when the end combination serving as the end condition of the specific game state in the specific game state is won in the role lottery, If the right remains, the operation procedure for avoiding the end combination is informed, and it is proposed to intentionally avoid the end of the specific gaming state by performing the reel stop operation according to the informed operation procedure (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

JP 2008-237780 A

  As in the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, even if the end combination that is the end condition of the specific game state in the specific game state is won in the role lottery, the end combination is avoided when the right to navigate remains. In the case where the operation procedure to be performed is notified, if there is no right to navigate, the operation procedure for avoiding the end combination is not notified, but if the selected operation procedure matches the operation procedure for avoiding the end combination, the operation is ended. It is possible to avoid the winning combination, and even when the right to navigate is not left, the end of the specific gaming state can be somewhat delayed.

  However, in the conventional slot machine of this type, the game procedure is such that the operation procedure for avoiding the winning combination is notified or not notified only depending on whether or not the right of navigation remains, in the specific gaming state. I couldn't raise my interest enough.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine that can enhance interest in a gaming state advantageous to a player.

In order to solve the above-described problem, a slot machine according to claim 1 of the present invention provides:
The game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using the gaming value, and a variable display device (reel 2L, 2C, 2R) is a slot machine (slot machine 1) in which one game is finished by deriving the display result and winning can be generated according to the display result derived to the variable display device,
A pre-determining means (internal lottery) for determining whether or not to allow a prize to be generated before the display result of the variable display device is derived;
Derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated when deriving display results from the variable display device;
When the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) is operated, the display result is displayed on the variable display device (reels 2L, 2C, 2R) according to the determination result of the prior determination means (internal lottery). Derivation control means for performing control for deriving
A specific result (replay GR31 to 36) in which derivation of an advantageous display result (SP replay) advantageous to the player is permitted by the predetermining means is controlled to the first gaming state (RT2) determined with a first probability. First gaming state control means for
Second gaming state control means for controlling to the second gaming state (RT3) in which the specific result (replay GR31 to 36) is determined with a second probability higher than the first probability by the prior determination means;
A game state transition means for transitioning to the first game state (RT2) when a transition display result (special replay) is derived as a display result of the variable display device in the second game state (RT3);
Operation mode notifying means for notifying the operation mode of the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R);
With
In the derivation control means, when the determination result of the prior determination means is the specific result (replay GR31 to 36), the operation mode of the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) is a first condition. When both conditions (first stop reel) and second condition (second stop reel) are satisfied, control is performed to derive the advantageous display result (SP replay), and the derivation operation means (stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R) When the operation mode satisfies the first condition (first stop reel) but does not satisfy the second condition (second stop reel), the advantageous display result (SP replay) is also displayed as the transition display. Control for deriving a normal display result (normal replay) different from the result (special replay) is performed, and the operation mode of the deriving operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) is the first. If the condition is not satisfied (the first stop reel) a particular result when deriving control means for performing control to derive the transition display result (special replay),
The operation mode notification means includes:
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the specific result (replay GR31 to 36), both conditions of the first condition (first stop reel) and the second condition (second stop reel) First operation mode notification means for reporting an operation mode satisfying the conditions;
A second operation mode notifying unit for notifying an operation mode satisfying the first condition (first stop reel) when the determination result of the prior determination unit is the specific result (replay GR31 to 36);
Including
In the second gaming state (RT3), control is performed in a first period (all navigation sections) in which notification is performed by the first operation mode notification means, and after the end of the first period (all navigation sections), Control is performed in the second period (partial navigation section) in which the notification by the second operation mode notification means is performed.
According to this feature, in the second gaming state, first, when the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the specific result, the first period during which the notification by the first operation mode notification means is performed, that is, the advantageous display result And the operation period that satisfies the conditions of both the first condition and the second condition that can avoid the transition to the first gaming state is controlled, and the first period is ended. Thereafter, the second period during which the notification by the second operation mode notification means is performed, that is, the first condition that the transition to the first gaming state can be surely avoided although the advantageous display result cannot be reliably derived. Control is performed during a period in which an operation mode that satisfies the conditions is notified.
For this reason, in the second gaming state, it is possible to derive an advantageous display result while avoiding the transition to the first gaming state by first being controlled in the first period. Since all notifications are not immediately ended even when the game ends, the advantage display result can be derived by itself while avoiding the transition to the first game state by being controlled in the second period. The interest in the second gaming state can be effectively increased.
It should be noted that the advantageous display result advantageous to the player is a display result in which a gaming value is given, a display result in which a right advantageous to the player is given, or a display result with a high probability that an advantageous right is given, A display result or the like in which a lottery is performed as to whether or not to shift to a state advantageous to the player is applicable.
Further, the operation mode of the derivation operation means may be a timing at which the derivation operation means is operated among a plurality of predetermined timings, or may be an operation order of the derivation operation means corresponding to a plurality of variable display units, A combination of both timing and operation order may be used.

The slot machine according to means 1 of the present invention is the slot machine according to claim 1,
The operation mode notifying unit includes a notification right number storage unit (RAM 91c) that stores a notification right number (number of times of navigation) that is a right controlled in the first period (all navigation sections).
While the notification right number (navigation count) remains in the second gaming state (RT3), the notification right number (navigation count) is digested and controlled in the first period (all navigation sections), Control is performed in the second period (partial navigation section) on condition that all of the number of notification rights (number of times of navigation) have been consumed.
According to this feature, in the second gaming state, a state in which the number of notification rights remains, that is, the first condition and the second condition that can derive the advantageous display result and avoid the transition to the first gaming state. Even though the right to be controlled in the first period in which the operation mode that satisfies both conditions is informed remains, it does not shift to the second period which is disadvantageous than the first period, The player can digest the number of notification rights with certainty.

The slot machine according to means 2 of the present invention is the slot machine according to claim 1 or means 1, wherein
The variable display device includes three or more variable display units (left, middle, right reel),
A winning can be generated by a combination of display results derived to the variable display section,
The operation mode that satisfies the first condition is an operation mode (first stop reel) that first causes the variable display unit that satisfies the first condition among the variable display units to derive a display result,
In the operation mode that satisfies both the first condition and the second condition, the display result is first derived from the variable display unit that satisfies the first condition among the variable display units, and then the second This is an operation mode (first and second stop reels) for deriving a display result for the variable display unit that satisfies the above condition.
According to this feature, even a player with low skill can operate the derivation operation means according to the operation mode notified by the notification means.

The slot machine according to means 3 of the present invention is the slot machine according to any one of claims 1, 1 and 2,
The operation mode notifying means ends the first gaming state (RT2) after the first period (all navigation sections) and the second period (partial navigation section) have ended in the second gaming state (RT3). ), When a predetermined condition (watermelon, cherry win) is established before shifting to), control is again performed in the first period (all navigation sections) or the second period (partial navigation sections). Yes.
According to this feature, even if both the first period and the second period end in the second gaming state, the predetermined period is satisfied before the transition to the first gaming state, so that the first period again Or since it may be controlled during the second period, the interest can be maintained even after the first period and the second period in the second gaming state.

The slot machine according to means 4 of the present invention is the slot machine according to any one of claims 1 and 1 to 3,
The gaming state transition means is configured to shift to the second gaming state (RT3) when a specific condition (SP replay winning) is established in the first gaming state (RT2).
According to this feature, even if the second gaming state ends and the first gaming state shifts, it is possible to shift to the second gaming state again, so the second gaming state ends and the second gaming state ends. Even if it shifts to 1 game state, an interest can be maintained.

Each part of the control circuit mounted on the game control board 40 is controlled directly or indirectly. The ROM 41b stores fixed data such as programs executed by the main CPU 41a and various tables. The RAM 41c is used as a work area when the main CPU 41a executes a program. The I / O port 41d inputs / outputs a control signal to / from each circuit connected via a signal input / output terminal included in the main control unit 41.

  Further, the main control unit 41 is supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 41c is held while the backup power is being supplied.

  The main CPU 41a repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 is changed as a basic process, and step by step according to the change of the detection state of the various switches. Execute the process to move to. Further, the main CPU 41a has an interrupt function as described above, and can interrupt the basic process by the occurrence of the interrupt and execute the interrupt process. The voltage output from the power interruption detection circuit 48 The power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed in response to the input of the decrease signal, and the timer interrupt process (main) is executed at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  The main CPU 41a transmits various commands to the effect control board 90 via the I / O port 41d. A command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the effect control board 90 to the game control board 40. The transmission line of the command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is composed of a strobe (INT) signal line, a data transmission line, and a ground line, and is connected via the effect relay board 80. The game control board 40 and the effect control board 90 are not directly connected.

  An effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

  The effect control board 90 includes a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), an effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54 (see FIGS. 1 and 4) disposed on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1, and the reel LED 55 described above. Etc. are connected, and these effect devices are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. However, in addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output control unit may determine the output pattern of the effect device, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be performed. The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the units.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and a microcomputer provided with an I / O port 91d. The sub control unit 91 controls the effect, and the effect control board 90. A display control circuit 92 that performs display control of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the LED, an LED driving circuit 93 that performs drive control of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 that controls audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, When the power is turned on or when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time, a reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a and a detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90 are detected. The switch detection circuit 96 outputs time information including date information and time information. The power supply voltage supplied to the timepiece device 97 and the slot machine 1 is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a power drop detection circuit 98 that outputs a voltage drop signal to that effect to the sub CPU 91a, other circuits, etc. , And the sub CPU 91a receives various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs various controls for performing effects, and directly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. To control automatically or indirectly.

  Similar to the main CPU 41a, the sub CPU 91a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function). One of the interrupt terminals of the sub control unit 91 is connected to a strobe (INT) signal line that is output when the main control unit 41 transmits a command, among the command transmission lines, and the sub CPU 91a receives the strobe signal. An interrupt is generated based on the input to acquire a command from the main control unit 41 and execute a command reception interrupt process to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub CPU 91a executes an interrupt process (sub) to be described later by generating an interrupt every time the number of clock inputs reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval. One of the interrupt terminals of the sub-control unit 91 is connected to the power interruption detection circuit 98, and the sub CPU 91a responds to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power interruption detection circuit 98. Execute processing (sub). Further, when an unused interrupt occurs in the sub CPU 91a, an unused interrupt process for immediately returning to the original process is executed.

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in an internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned OFF, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on with no bet amount set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by turning the setting key switch 37 to the OFF state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the main CPU 41a detects a voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48, a power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed. In the power interruption interrupt processing (main), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 41c, which will be described later, and data for destructive diagnosis (in this embodiment, 5AH) in which any bit is 1 in the RAM 41c, that is, a specific value other than 0 In addition to storing data, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, and the RAM 41c is stored. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 41c. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main CPU 41a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c at the time of activation, confirms the value of the destructive diagnosis data, the RAM parity is 0, and the destructive diagnosis The processing state of the main CPU 41a is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the value of the data for use is correct, but the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or is destroyed If the value of the diagnostic data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state so that the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the other error states, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the setting change state described above. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all the data stored in the RAM 41c is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and when the main CPU 41a determines that the data in the RAM 41c is normal when the power is turned on. Although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, only the data necessary for the restoration of the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up among the data stored in the RAM 41c. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the backed up data.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player For example, it is not necessary to restore the state of all input ports to the state before power interruption.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 91a detects the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98, the sub CPU 91a also executes a power interruption interrupt process (sub). In the power interruption interrupt processing (sub), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 91c described later, and destructive diagnosis data in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 91c, and data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c. The RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on 0 becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 91c.

  Then, the sub CPU 91a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c at the time of activation, and based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the RAM parity is 0. The processing state of the sub CPU 91a is restored to the state before the power interruption. If the RAM parity is not 0 (1), it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main sub CPU 91a, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 91c is held by the backup power source even during a power failure, and the sub CPU 91a determines that the data in the RAM 91c is normal when the power is turned on. Although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 91c, only the data necessary for restoration of the control state is backed up in the event of a power failure out of the data stored in the RAM 91c. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the backed up data.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player It is not necessary to restore the state of the input port or the progress in the middle of the production when it is interrupted. For example, while backing up only data indicating the gaming state such as whether it is in the BB or the normal gaming state, other than the effect corresponding to the gaming state (the effect during the BB during the BB, the normal effect when in the normal gaming state) If a power outage occurs during the execution of a specific production (such as a small role announcement), it will be backed up when the power is turned on instead of resuming the specific production that was being performed at the next power-on. An effect corresponding to the gaming state being played may be executed from the beginning.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a general work, a special work, a set value work, a stop phase work, a non-saved work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  The important work is a work in which data that is inconvenient to be initialized at the end of the BB, such as various display devices and LED display data, input / output data of the I / O port 41d, and a game time clock counter, is stored. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, and the total number of medals paid out in the BB. The special work is a work that stores data to be initialized only before the start of setting, such as data for transmitting a command to the effect control board 90 and various software random numbers. The set value work is a work in which a set value used when performing a lottery in the internal lottery process is stored. After initializing 0 before setting is started (before shifting to the setting change mode), 1 is stored. The set value that is corrected and newly set at the end of the setting (when the setting change mode is ended) is stored. The stop phase work is a work in which data indicating the stop phase of the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R is stored, and data indicating the stop phase is stored when the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are stopped. The Rukoto. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of activation. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main CPU 41a is stored, and the unused stack area is established by any one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. In this case, the used stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main CPU 41a operates when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both ON, when a RAM error occurs, when starting only when the setting key switch 37 is ON, BB At the end, when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both OFF, when the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed, the six initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied In addition, five types of initialization are performed in different regions to be initialized according to each initialization condition.

  Initialization 0 is performed when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both ON at the time of start-up, and initialization is performed before the transition to the setting change mode or when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In initialization 0, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) of the storage area of the RAM 41c other than the used stack area are initialized. Initialization 1 is an initialization performed only when the setting key switch 37 is in an ON state at the time of start-up and shifts to the setting change mode. In the initialization 1, in the storage area of the RAM 41c, All areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) other than the in-use stack area and the stop phase work are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when both the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are in an OFF state at the time of activation, and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. The stored work, unused area, and unused stack area are initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 0 and initialization 1 are performed before transition to the setting change mode. However, they may be performed at the end of the setting change mode, that is, after the setting is confirmed. In this case, if the set value work is initialized, the determined set value is lost. Therefore, the set value work is not initialized.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a winning is awarded when the winning symbols are aligned on any winning line. The types of winning combinations are determined according to the state of the game, but can be broadly divided into special roles with transition to big bonus and regular bonus, small roles with payout of medals, and setting of bet number. There is a re-player who can start the next game without needing.

  The big bonus may be indicated as BB and the regular bonus may be indicated as RB. In some cases, a big bonus or a regular bonus is simply referred to as a bonus. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to set a winning flag in the RAM 41c to win the internal lottery and allow winning of the winning combination.

  5-8 is a figure for demonstrating the technical matter relevant to the kind of winning combination, the symbol combination of a winning combination, and a winning combination. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41.

  In the slot machine according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the main control unit 41 has RT0 and RT0 controlled after the end of the bonus, RT2 and RT3, which will be described later, are aligned on the winning line, which will be described later. RT1 controlled by RT1 and RT1 controlled by the winning replay described later in RT4 and RT4 controlled by RT4, which will be described later, or RT3 described later described below. RT2 controlled by winning a special replay to be performed, RT2 controlled by winning a special replay (referred to as SP replay) in RT2, and controlled when BB1, BB3, RB2 described later in RT0 to RT4 are won RT5 and BB2, BB4, and RB1 described later Among the bonuses, such as RB and BB, which is controlled by RT6 it is controlled at the time was, and by winning the special role, is controlled in any of the game state.

  RT1 to 3 are more advantageous to the player than RT0 and 4 to 6 in that the winning probability of the re-gamer is high and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT0 and 4 to 6. A state.

  In RT1 to RT3, the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT0 and 4 to 6, but among them RT3 is the most anticipated acquisition of the number of navigation stocks described later. It can be said that this is an advantageous state for the player. Further, while there may be a direct transition from RT2 to RT3, there is no direct transition from RT1 to RT3, and in this respect RT2 can be said to be a more advantageous state for the player than RT1.

  RT0 and 4 have a low probability of winning a re-gamer, and the payout rate of medals per game is lower than RT1 to 3 and 5 and 6, compared to RT1 to 3 and 5 and 6. This is a disadvantage for the player.

  RT5 and RT6 have a lower probability of winning a re-gamer than RT1-3, and the payout rate of medals per game is lower than RT1-3, which is less disadvantageous for the player than RT1-3. However, it is more probable for the player than RT0 and 4 in that the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than RT0 and 4 and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than that of RT0 and 4. This is an advantageous state.

  In the slot machine according to the present embodiment, as described above, the main control unit 41 can control the gaming state to be RT0 to 6 and bonus, while the gaming state is RT1 to 4, the sub-control unit 91 can control the gaming state. The effect state can be controlled during an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect for notifying the internal lottery result can be executed.

  Referring to FIG. 5, special bonuses among the winning combinations include big bonuses 1 to 4 (hereinafter, each big bonus is referred to as BB), regular bonuses 1 and 2 (hereinafter, each regular bonus is referred to as RB). ) 6 types of bonuses are included.

  BB1 is awarded when a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines. BB2 is awarded when a combination of “network 7−network 7−network 7” is arranged on any of the winning lines. BB3 is awarded when a combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is arranged on any of the winning lines. BB4 is awarded when the combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” is aligned on any of the winning lines. BB4 is awarded when a combination of “black 7-white 7-net 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines.

  When winning one of BB1 to BB4, a regular bonus 1 (hereinafter referred to as RB1) is transferred to a bonus that is controlled every game. Further, when any of BB1 to BB4 is won, the game is shifted to a bonus that is controlled every game as a regular bonus during BB (hereinafter referred to as BBRB).

  While there is a bonus transferred due to winning of BB1 to BB4, a big bonus medium flag corresponding to the type of the winning BB is set in the RAM 41c. Further, while in BBRB, a regular bonus medium flag corresponding to BBRB is set in the RAM 41c. That is, while the big bonus medium flag is set to the ON state, the regular bonus medium flag corresponding to BBRB is set to the ON state.

  The bonus generated due to the winning of any one of BB1 to BB4 is terminated on condition that 316 or more medals have been paid out.

  RB1 wins when a combination of “net 7-net 7-black 7” is aligned on any of the pay lines. RB2 is awarded when a combination of “white 7-white 7-black 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines.

  When winning one of RB1 and RB2, the bonus is controlled once as a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB). While there is a bonus transferred due to winning of RB1 and RB2, a regular bonus medium flag corresponding to the type of RB that has won is set in the RAM 41c.

  The bonus generated due to the winning of either RB1 or RB2 ends on the condition that any winning combination has won six times or 12 games have been consumed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the game state is controlled by RT5 from the internal winning of any of BB1, BB3, or RB2 until the winning is won, and the winning is made after winning of any of BB2, BB4, or RB1 Until then, the gaming state is controlled by RT6. In the internal RTs 5 and 6, the probability of winning the replay is higher than that in the normal gaming state. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, after the bonus is over, the gaming state is controlled to RT0.

  Even if one of BB1 to BB4, RB1, or RB2 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, if the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated at an appropriate timing to enable winning of these roles, these I won't win a role. The symbols composing BB1 to BB4, RB1, and RB2 ("black 7", "white 7", and "net 7") are arranged within 5 frames on each of the left reel 2L, middle reel 2C, and right reel 2R. This is because it has not been done.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the small combination among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning roles, there are middle bells, lower right bells, upper bells 1-8, middle watermelons, right lower watermelons, upper watermelons, lower cherries, middle cherries, one role, right-up bells, right-up bevels, Includes a rising rivet.

  The middle bell is awarded when the combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line L1, and eight medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the bells are arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when a middle bell is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that a winning can be made regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  The right-down bell is when any combination of “Replay-Bell-Replay”, “Replay-Bell-Plum”, “Plum-Bell-Replay”, and “Plum-Bell-Plum” is aligned on the winning line L1. Wins and 8 medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the replay and plum of the left reel 2L are arranged at a position one below the bell, and the replay and plum of the right reel 2R are arranged at a position one above the bell. Therefore, when any combination of “Replay-Bell-Replay”, “Replay-Bell-Plum”, “Plum-Bell-Replay”, and “Plum-Bell-Plum” is prepared, “Bell-Bell-Bell” "Will be aligned to the right.

  Further, either the plum or the replay is arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L and the right reel 2R, and the bell is arranged within 5 frames in the middle reel 2C. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when a right-down bell is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that a winning can be made regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L-8R.

  Next, the upper bells 1 to 8 will be described. The upper bell 1 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Orange-Orange” is aligned on the winning line L1. The upper bell 2 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Orange-BAR” is aligned on the winning line L1. The upper bell 3 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-BAR-Orange” is aligned on the winning line L1. The upper bell 4 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-BAR-BAR” is aligned on the winning line L1. The upper bell 5 is awarded when a combination of “plum-orange-orange” is arranged on the winning line L1. The upper bell 6 is awarded when the “Plum-Orange-BAR” combination is aligned on the winning line L1. The upper bell 7 is awarded when the combination of “Plum-BAR-Orange” is aligned on the winning line L1. The upper bell 8 is awarded when the combination of “Plum-BAR-BAR” is aligned on the winning line L1.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the replay and plum of the left reel 2L, the BAR and orange of the middle reel, and the BAR and orange of the right reel 2R are arranged at positions one level below the bell. “Orange-Orange”, “Replay-Orange-BAR”, “Replay-BAR-Orange”, “Replay-BAR-BAR”, “Plum-Orange-Orange”, “Plum-Orange-BAR”, “Plum-BAR-” When any combination of “Orange” and “Plum-BAR-BAR” is arranged, the combination of “Bell-Bell-Bell” is arranged in the upper stage.

  In the left reel 2L, replays and plums are not arranged within 5 frames, and orange and BAR are not arranged within 5 frames for each of the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R. Therefore, even if one of the upper bells 1 to 8 is won in the internal lottery to be described later, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the winning upper bell configuration symbols must be operated at an appropriate timing. For example, you won't win the winning top bell.

  The middle stage watermelon becomes a prize when a combination of “black 7-watermelon-watermelon”, “white 7-watermelon-watermelon”, “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is arranged on the winning line L1. When the middle watermelon wins, 5 medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, in the left reel 2L, any one of black 7, white 7, and watermelon is arranged within 5 frames, but for each of the middle reel 2C and right reel 2R, It is not placed within 5 frames. For this reason, even if the middle stage watermelon is won in the internal lottery described later, the middle stage watermelon will not be won if the stop switches 8C and 8R corresponding to the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R are not operated at an appropriate timing. .

  The right-down watermelon is awarded when a combination of “Bell-Watermelon-Black 7” and “Bell-Watermelon-White 7” is aligned on the winning line L1. When a watermelon with a downward right wins, 5 medals are paid out.

  In addition, in RT0-4 etc., weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries that can be won at the same time as any of BB1-BB4, RB1, RB2, one piece role, normal replay, tumble replay, promotion replay, The number of SP replay judgment values is read separately from the bonus at RT5 and 6, respectively. Strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one-piece combination, normal replay, fall replay, promotion replay, SP replay Therefore, the winning probabilities of each of the strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, single-player, normal replay, fall replay, promotion replay, and SP replay are guaranteed to be constant.

  When the gaming state is BBRB, weak cherries and all combinations are targeted for internal lottery and are sequentially read out as targets for internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 14, all roles are all small roles other than right-up bevel, that is, middle bell + right-down bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + lower right watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle cherry + one piece + right up bell + right up rivet.

  When the gaming state is RB, all combinations, RB bell 1, RB bell 2, and RB bell 3 are targeted for internal lottery, and are sequentially read out as targets for internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 14, RB bell 1 is a right-up bell + right-up bevel, RB bell 2 is a right-up bell + right-up rebebe + right-up beryl, and RB bell 3 is all Small bell, middle bell + lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + lower watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle Cherry + 1 piece + right rising bell + right rising bevel + right rising rebebe.

  Next, the internal lottery will be described in detail. In the internal lottery, all reels determine whether or not each winning combination described above is allowed, that is, whether or not the symbol combination that generates the winning combination is allowed to perform control to align with any winning line. Before the stop (actually, when the start switch 7 is operated), it is determined. In the internal lottery, a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired from the random number generation circuit 42. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state, the obtained random number for internal lottery, the gaming state, and the determination value of each winning combination determined according to the set value set by the reset / setting switch 38 Depending on the number.

  In this embodiment, from the number of judgment values of each combination and combination of combinations, the range of determination values for each of the general combination and special combination such as a small combination and replay combination, and the general combination and special combination And the range of judgment values to be won in duplicate, and the internal lottery is not exclusive, and the general and special roles are won simultaneously in one game. There can be. However, for special roles of different types, the range of determination values to be won in duplicate is not specified, and special types of different types are exclusively drawn.

  In the internal lottery, the number of judgment values determined for the combination or combination of roles that are the subject of the internal lottery and the current gaming state are sequentially added to the random number for internal lottery, and when the result of the addition overflows, Or it is determined that the combination of the winning combination is won.

  The number of determination values acquired in the special lottery internal lottery increases as the set value increases. As a result, the larger the set value, the higher the probability of winning the special combination in the internal lottery.

  When winning of any combination or combination of combinations is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination of combinations or combinations determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storage work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set.

  Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. In addition, when a special role + general role is won, a special role winning flag indicating that the special role is won is set in the special role storage work, and a general role winning indicating that the general role is won Set the flag in the general role storage work. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described. The main CPU 41a refers to the table index and table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Create a stop control table for each reel. When one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the referred stop control table is drawn. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of frames to be drawn according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of frames to be pulled in at each timing when the stop operation is performed. In this embodiment, stepping motors that make one turn at a cycle of 168 steps (0 to 167) are used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven for 168 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 8 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are 1 to 21 (see FIG. 1) from the reel reference position. 3) is assigned.

  On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 1 to 21 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 1 to 21 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 1 to 21 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of drawn frames by area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of drawn frames by area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). (The lower symbol area)) When the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at the timing (the timing at which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each area number) It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Next, when the main CPU 41a effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel will be described. .

  If any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively, the area number of the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. And the number of drawn frames corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired frames.

  Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of drawn frames until it is stopped is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. Thereby, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of frames to be drawn from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and further, one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel).

  In other words, table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state and stop control tables corresponding to reel stop states (and stopped positions of stopped reels) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the reel is based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern. The stop control is performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of drawn frames, and the reel can be stopped by drawing a maximum of four symbols after detecting a stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In this example, if any winning combination is won, the winning combination will be drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the winning combination will be drawn so that the winning combination will not be aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a number of drawing frames that do not have any combination is defined. And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that has not been performed will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  If a special role is won in a state where the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or if the special role is won at the same time as the simultaneous winning role, etc., the selected small role will be maximized in the range of 4 frames on the winning line The number of draws to be drawn is fixed, and for the stop operation position where the selected small role cannot be drawn into the winning line within the range of up to 4 frames, the selected special role is maximized within the range of 4 frames to the winning line A stop control table in which the number of frames to be drawn is determined so as to be pulled in as much as possible is generated, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, A control is performed to stop them in a uniform manner, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within a 4-frame pull-in range.

  That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. As a result, after winning a small role and then winning a special role, the special role is won, and compared to the case where the special role is preferentially won, Since the special combination can be won, the player's medal can be increased as much as possible before the special combination is won, and reel control advantageous to the player is performed. When a special combination and a small combination can be drawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the small combination.

  Next, if a special player and a re-playing player are elected at the same time, such as when a re-playing member is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the winning re-playing player is placed on the winning line. A stop control table in which the number of frames to be drawn is determined so as to be pulled in as much as possible in the range of four frames is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of up to four frames.

  When a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. 15, a maximum of 4 re-game players determined according to the types of re-game players won at the same time and the order of stop operations are displayed on the winning line. Control is performed so as to stop evenly within the frame drawing range. FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of replays are won simultaneously.

  When the replay GR1 (normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the pay line L1 and stopped.

  When replay GR2 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promoted replay 1 of the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line L1. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the pay line L1 and stopped.

  If Replay GR3 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Lower Replay) is won and stop operation is performed in the middle left and right order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replayers will be aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the pay line L1 and stopped.

  When replay GR4 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2 + bottom replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle right / left order, the combination of promotion replay 1 among the selected re-playing players is placed in the winning line L1. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  When replay GR5 (normal replay + promotion replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the pay line L1 and stopped.

  When Replay GR6 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected replaying players is aligned with the winning line L1. Control to stop is performed, and when stop operations are performed in an order other than right center left, control is performed to align the combination of normal replays with the winning line L1 and stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2, and the normal replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. The reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R according to the operation order.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for allowing the replays GR1 to 6 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2.

  For this reason, in RT4 where replays GR1 to 6 are subject to internal lottery, if any of replays GR1 to GR6 is elected, the promoted replay will win with a probability of 1/6, and the transition to RT1 Become.

  When replay GR11 (falling replay + promotion replay 2) is won and a stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the stop replay combination is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  If Replay GR12 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Normal Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 among the selected replay players will be aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right, the control for stopping the combination of falling replays on the winning line L1 is performed.

  When the replay GR13 (falling replay + promotion replay 1) is won and a stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is stopped in alignment with the winning line L1. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of fall replays is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  If Replay GR14 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Normal Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle right-left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replayers is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays aligned with the winning line L1.

  If Replay GR15 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected re-players is aligned with the winning line L1. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right, the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  When Replay GR16 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Normal Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of the promotion Replay 2 among the selected replay players is the winning line L1. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the right middle left, the control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2, and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. The reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the fall replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R according to the operation order.

  As described above, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to allow the replays GR11 to 16 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2 and to avoid the fall replay.

  For this reason, in RT1 where replays GR11-16 are subject to internal lottery, if any of replays GR11-16 is elected, the promotion replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and RT1 is maintained, The fall replay wins with a probability of 5/6 and moves to RT4.

  When the replay GR21 (falling replay + special replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left middle, right, and right, the combination of the special replays among the selected replay players is controlled to stop at the winning line L1. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than left middle right, control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  When replay GR22 (falling replay + special replay + normal replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of special replays among the selected replaying players is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right, the control is performed so that the combination of the falling replays is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  When replay GR23 (falling replay + special replay + lower replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle / left / right order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, the control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  When Replay GR24 (Tumble Replay + Special Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the special replay combinations among the selected replay players are aligned to the winning line L1. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, the combination of the fall replay is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  If Replay GR25 (Tumble Replay + Special Replay + Promotion Replay 1) is elected and right-pressed, that is, if a stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the right reel 2R is first stopped, the special replay among the replayed players selected When the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the combination of the two is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped, and the left reel 2L is first stopped or in the middle mode, that is, the middle reel 2C is first stopped. In this case, a control for stopping the combination of the fall replays on the winning line L1 is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the special replay and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, Regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the special replay or the fall replay is always won.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to win special replays and avoid falling replays with the replays GR21 to GR25.

  For this reason, if one of the replays GR21 to 25 is elected in RT1 where the replays GR21 to 25 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay wins with a probability of 1/5 and the process proceeds to RT2. Then, the fall replay wins with a probability of 4/5 and shifts to RT4.

  When the replay GR31 (special replay + SP replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left middle right, the combination of the SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. If the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line L1, and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right. If it has been made, control is performed to stop the special replay combination in alignment with the pay line L1.

  When replay GR32 (special replay + SP replay + normal replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line L1. When the stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle and right, control is performed to stop the combination of the normal replays in the winning replay combination with the winning line L1, and then press the middle or right When a stop operation is performed, control is performed to stop the combination of special replays aligned with the pay line L1.

  When replay GR33 (special replay + SP replay + lower stage replay) is won and stop operation is performed in the middle left and right order, control to stop the combination of SP replays among the selected replaying players on the winning line L1 If the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays among the selected re-playing players is aligned with the winning line L1, and the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right. If it has been made, control is performed to stop the special replay combination in alignment with the pay line L1.

  If Replay GR34 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Lower Replay + Falling Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle right / left order, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line L1. If stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of normal replays among the selected re-playing players is controlled to stop at the winning line L1, and left or right press When a stop operation is performed, control is performed to stop the combination of special replays aligned with the pay line L1.

  When Replay GR35 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the SP replay combinations of the selected replay players are aligned to the winning line L1. When the stop operation is performed in the order of right middle, left, and right, the combination of the normal replays among the selected re-playing players is controlled to stop at the winning line L1, and left or middle press When a stop operation is performed, control is performed to stop the combination of special replays aligned with the pay line L1.

  If Replay GR36 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay + Falling Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of SP Replay among the selected replayers will be the winning line When the stop operation is performed in the order of right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. Alternatively, when a stop operation is performed by middle pressing, control is performed to stop the special replay combination in alignment with the pay line L1.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the SP replay, special replay, and normal replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Accordingly, the reel control is performed so that the SP replay, special replay, or normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning SP replays with the replay GRs 31 to 36, and different operations are performed as operation modes for winning SP replays or normal replays and avoiding special replays. A mode is set.

  For this reason, if the replay GR 31 to 36 is the target of the internal lottery, if one of the replay GRs 31 to 36 is won, the SP replay can be won with a probability of 1/6 and transferred to RT3. Thus, the normal replay or special replay is won with a probability of 5/6 and RT2 is maintained. In addition, when SP replay is won as will be described later, one or more navigation stocks that are advantageous to the player are always given. Therefore, if one of the replays GR31 to 36 is won in RT2, 1 / It is possible to shift to RT3 where the SP replay wins with a probability of 6 and one or more navigation stocks are given, and it is easy to win the SP replay, that is, the navigation stocks are likely to be given.

  Also, in RT3 where replays GR31 to 36 are subject to internal lottery, if any of replays GR31 to 36 is elected, SP replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and one or more navigation stocks to be described later are given On the other hand, the normal replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and RT3 is maintained, and the special replay wins with a probability of 4/6 and shifts to RT2.

  Next, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 16, a maximum of 4 small combinations determined according to the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the order of stop operations are displayed on the winning line. Control is performed so as to stop evenly within the frame drawing range. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of small combinations are won simultaneously.

  If left bell 1 (lower right bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing left, the combination of right down bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line L1.

  If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing left, the combination of the right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 6, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line L1.

  If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and stopped by left-pressing, the combination of right-down bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line L1.

  If left bell 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the combination of right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, or the transition result is aligned with the winning line L1.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the right-down bell is arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the left bells 1 to 4 are elected, a stop operation is performed by pushing left. In this case, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the right lowering bell is aligned with the winning line L1, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the left bells 1 to 4 are elected because there are places that are arranged, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, it becomes the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed at an appropriate timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line L1, and in this case, the control is performed so that the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line L1.

  When middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, control is performed so that the combination of the middle bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line L1.

  When middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the selected small roles on the winning line L1 is performed. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 6, or the transition result is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  When middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line L1 is performed. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line L1 is performed. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by middle push Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line L1, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, an appropriate range that will be drawn in the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 will be used. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line L1, and in this case, the control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line L1.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line L1. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition result is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line L1.

  When right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the right bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing right However, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line L1, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Therefore, even if the right bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, an appropriate drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 is appropriate. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line L1, and in this case, the control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line L1.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, While the right-down bell or middle bell always wins, the upper bell may be aligned at a certain rate by performing a stop operation in a mode other than the specific mode according to the type of winning role. There are cases where the bells are not aligned and the transition outcomes are aligned.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, it is impossible to intentionally select a specific operation mode unless the type is known. Although a medal can be surely obtained by winning a prize, the upper bell can be won only at a fixed rate at a rate of 2/3, and a medal cannot be surely obtained.

  When RB bell 1 (Right-up bell + Right-up Rivebe) is elected and a stop operation is performed by left-pressing, control is performed to align and stop the combination of right-up bells among the selected small roles on the winning line L1. If a stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right side, control is performed so that the combination of the right rising rivets is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped.

  If RB Bell 2 (Rising Right + Right Rising + Right Rising) is won and stopped by pressing the middle, the combination of right rising bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by pressing the button to the left, the combination of beveling to the right is stopped to align with the winning line L1, and when the stop operation is performed by pressing the button to the right, Control to stop the combination in line with the winning line L1.

  RB bell 3 (middle bell + lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + lower watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle cherry +1 sheet role + right-up bell + right-up bevel + right-up bevel), and if the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of the right-up bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line L1. Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed to stop the right-beveled bevel combination aligned with the winning line L1.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the right-up bell, the right-up bevel, and the right-up bevel are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the RB bells 1 to 4 are won, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, any combination of a right-up bell, a right-up bevel, and a right-up bevel will be aligned on the pay line L1 and 10 medals will be paid out, but at a rate of 1/3 Only "bell-bell-bell" combinations will be aligned to the right.

  Although not specifically shown, when a bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line L1 regardless of the stop order of the reels and the operation timing. To be controlled.

  Also, all roles (middle bell + lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + right lower watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle (Cherry + 1 hand + right-up bell + right-up rivebe) is selected, the “bell-bell-bell” combination is controlled to rise to the right regardless of the reel stop order and operation timing. The

  Next, processing executed by the main control unit 41 in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. In the slot machine 1, the game is progressed by repeatedly performing the game processing one game at a time. For this purpose, the game must first be in a state where the game can be progressed.

  In order to be able to advance the game, for example, the set value work is stored in the set value work with the set value in the normal range with the main control unit 41 including the main CPU 41a activated, and the data stored in the RAM 41c. The condition is that there is no abnormality. When the game is in a state where progress is possible, game processing is repeatedly performed in the slot machine 1 game by game. Hereinafter, each game in the slot machine 1 will be described.

  The “game” in the slot machine 1 is, in a narrow sense, a period from when the start switch 7 is operated to when the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped. Since the setting of the bet number before the operation of No. 7, the payout of medals and the transition of the gaming state are also performed after the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, these incidental processes are also included in the “game” in a broad sense. And

  The game control process is also executed after the power is turned on and a predetermined boot process is performed, or immediately after the setting is changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. When processing of one game is started, first, the number of bets is set by operating the one-sheet BET switch 5 or the MAXBET switch 6 or by inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 4, and operating the start switch 7. A BET process for instructing the substantial start of the game is performed.

  If the player has won a replay in the previous game, the same bet number as the previous game is automatically set by the replay game flag (the replay game flag is erased at this stage). In the BET process, every time a bet number is set, a BET command that can specify the number of medals used for setting the bet number is transmitted to the effect control board 90.

  When the number of bets is set by BET processing and the start switch 7 is operated, a random number for internal lottery is extracted, and winnings for each combination determined according to the gaming state are allowed based on the extracted random number value. A lottery process is performed to determine whether or not to do so. In the lottery process, an internal winning command indicating the setting status of the winning flag set in the RAM 41c according to the lottery result is transmitted to the effect control board 90.

  Further, in the lottery process, when any special combination is won, a process for controlling to RT5 or RT6 is performed.

  When the lottery process is completed, a reel rotation process is performed next. In the reel rotation process, the reel motor 32L is provided on the condition that a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed from the start of rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R in the previous game. , 32C, 32R are driven, and rotation of all the left, middle, and right reels 2L, 2C, 2R is started.

  When a predetermined condition (detection of the reference position by the reel sensors 33SL, 33SC, 33SR after the rotation speed reaches a constant speed) is established from the start of rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R Is enabled. Thereafter, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated by the player, the driving of the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R is stopped, and the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped.

  In the reel rotation process, a reel rotation command for notifying the start of reel rotation is transmitted to the effect control board 90 when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, and rotation of any one of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is stopped. Each time, a reel stop command capable of specifying the area number of the corresponding stop operation position of the corresponding reel is transmitted to the effect control board 90 to determine which reel has been stopped.

  When the driving of each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is stopped, a winning determination process is performed for determining whether any role symbol is derived and displayed on the winning line in the display result at the time of stopping. If it is determined in this winning determination process that any of the winning combinations has been won, various processes corresponding to the winnings generated on the game control board 40 are performed.

  In the winning determination process, after the winning determination is made, a winning determination command that can specify the presence / absence of a winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out is sent to the effect control board 90. In the winning determination process, when it is determined that any of the special roles has been won, a process for controlling the corresponding bonus is performed.

  Further, in the winning determination process, when it is determined that the transition outcomes are aligned when RT0 to RT3, a process for shifting to RT4 is performed. Further, when it is determined at RT1 that the fall replay has been won, a process for shifting to RT4 is performed. Further, when it is determined at RT4 that the promotion replay has been won, a process for shifting to RT1 is performed. Further, when it is determined that the special replay is won in RT1 and RT3, processing for shifting to RT2 is performed. Further, when it is determined that the SP replay is won in RT2, processing for shifting to RT3 is performed.

  When the winning determination process ends, a payout process is performed. In the payout process, medals are paid out or credits are added according to the number of payouts set in the winning determination process. However, when the number of credits accumulated as data reaches 50, the hopper motor 34b is driven to pay out an excess number of medals from the medal payout opening 9.

  Also, in the payout process, when the payout of medals is started by payout of winnings or credits (including medals used for setting the number of bets), a payout start command for notifying the start of payout of medals is sent to the effect control board 90. When the medal payout by winning and winning the credit is completed, a payout end command for notifying the end of the medal payout is transmitted to the effect control board 90.

  In the payout process, a bonus end determination process for determining whether or not a bonus end condition corresponding to the bonus is satisfied during the bonus is performed as various processes not related to winning.

  In the bonus end determination process, when it is determined that the bonus end condition is satisfied, a process for controlling to the preparation mode is performed.

  In the payout process, a game state command that can specify the game state of the next game is transmitted to the effect control board 90.

  Also, in the payout process, a winning flag that does not carry over (a winning combination of a small combination or replaying combination) is deleted, and a bonus winning flag stored in a special work is not deleted. As a result, the bonus winning flag is carried over to the next game until the winning bonus is won. At the end of the payout process, that is, at the end of one game, a game state command indicating the game state of the next game is sent to the effect control board 90. Then, the process for one game ends, and the process for the next one game starts.

  In the repetition of the game as described above, the main control unit 41 of the game control board 40 shifts the game state among RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4, RT5, RT6, and bonus, and the progress of the game A command is transmitted to the effect control board 90 according to the situation. On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 of the effect control board 90 performs various processes based on the command received from the game control board 40.

  Next, processing executed by the sub control unit 91 will be described. The sub-control unit 91 first executes a predetermined effect initial setting process, and after performing an effect control restoration process for restoring the control state in the effect control board 90 to the state when the power supply is stopped, the effect-side random value Repeat the update process.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 generates an interrupt for controlling the progress of the production at a predetermined time interval (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the reset / interrupt controller sets the timer interrupt flag of the RAM 91c to the ON state. Then, the effect control interruption process is executed. In the effect control interrupt process, the contents of the internal register are saved, the effect backup process is executed, and when the sub control unit 91 is restarted, the data required for restoring the control state before the restart is backed up. Is done.

  Further, command analysis processing for analyzing various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 is executed, and predetermined effect control processing is executed. By this effect control process, various game effects are performed by displaying an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and generating sound from the speakers 53 and 54 according to the progress of the game in the slot machine 1. Image element data and moving image data for performing a game effect are stored in a predetermined ROM.

  In order to perform a game effect, the RAM 91c of the sub-control unit 91 has various counters, areas for setting various flags, a game state command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, and an internal winning command. Area for storing the winning status of the game, the combination of the display results derived to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, the information indicating whether or not a winning has occurred, and the game state applied in the game running on the game control board 40 side (The winning situation and the gaming state are twice) are also provided in the RAM 91c.

  Further, in the effect control board 90, a stop symbol table for determining the display result of the variable display device 2 based on the reel stop command is provided in the RAM 91c. However, since the reel stop command includes only the type of the stopped reel and the number of the symbol stopped in the middle as information, it is not possible to determine what symbol is stopped by this alone. For this reason, the ROM 91b stores in advance a table showing all symbols arranged on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. With reference to this table, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped on the stop symbol table. The symbol is registered. The sub-control unit 91 produces an effect based on the registration information of the stop symbol table.

  In addition, various random values counted by a random number circuit (not shown) or the like are updated on the side of the effect control board 90, and then the contents of the saved register are restored, and then the effect control interrupt process ends.

  In the effect control process executed in the effect control interrupt process, the sub-control unit 91 executes the above-described game effect according to the AT control process for controlling the effect state to the AT according to the game state, etc. A game effect execution process is performed for this purpose.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs an AT lottery to determine whether or not to control the AT by executing an AT lottery process included in the AT control process. In the AT lottery process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined lottery condition is satisfied based on a command from the main control unit 41, and the AT lottery is executed when the predetermined lottery condition is satisfied. In the AT lottery, it is determined whether to give the number of navigation stocks and how much the number of navigation stocks is given.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates a period during which the AT can be controlled. By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock by 1, it is controlled by AT for a predetermined number of games (30G, 50G, 70G, 90G, 111G, 222G, 333G, 555G in this embodiment), during which the navigation effect is executed. Is done. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player because the AT is controlled over a longer period.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining an example of a lottery condition that triggers the AT lottery. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining an example of a table referred to in the AT lottery.

  The AT lottery condition is satisfied when a cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won at RT0 to RT4.

  When the gaming state is RT0 to 4 and the lottery mode is the normal mode (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or when the SP replay is won and the AT lottery condition is satisfied, FIG. 18A shows AT lottery is performed with reference to the table. For example, the sub-control unit 91 identifies RT0 to RT4 based on the game state command from the main control unit 41, and cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay based on the internal winning command. Identify that you won. In addition, the sub control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the normal mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91c.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18A is referred to, if the winning combination is a weak cherry, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 95%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 5%. Thus, the AT lottery is performed, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery is 0.05 (= 0 × 95% + 1 × 5%).

  When the table shown in FIG. 18A is referenced, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 70%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 20%. The AT lottery will be held so that the number of Navistock will be determined to be 2 at the rate of 8%, and the number of Navistock will be determined to be 3 at the rate of 2%, and it is expected to be won by one AT lottery. The number of expected navigation stocks to be obtained is configured to be 0.42 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%) from the sum of the number of navigation stocks × winning rate.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18 (a) is referred to, if the winning combination is a middle cherry or SP replay, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 70%, and the number of navigation stocks is 2 at a rate of 20%. The AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10%, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is the number of navigation stocks × The sum of the winning rates is 1.4 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%).

  When the game state is RT0 to 4 and the lottery mode is the high probability A mode, when the cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won and the AT lottery condition is satisfied, FIG. AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. For example, the sub-control unit 91 identifies RT0 to RT4 based on the game state command from the main control unit 41, and cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay based on the internal winning command. Identify that you won. Further, the sub-control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the high probability A mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91c.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18B is referenced, if the winning combination is a weak cherry, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 70%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 20%. The AT lottery will be held so that the number of Navistock will be determined to be 2 at the rate of 8%, and the number of Navistock will be determined to be 3 at the rate of 2%, and it is expected to be won by one AT lottery. The number of expected navigation stocks to be obtained is configured to be 0.42 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%) from the sum of the number of navigation stocks × winning rate.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18B is referred to, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 70%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 2 at a rate of 20%. AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10%, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery is the number of navigation stocks × winning rate From the sum, it is configured to be 1.4 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%).

  When the table shown in FIG. 18B is referred to, if the winning combination is a middle cherry or SP replay, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 2 at a rate of 80%, and the number of navigation stocks is 3 at a rate of 20%. As shown, the AT lottery is performed, and the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is 2.2 (= 2 × 80) from the sum of the Navi stock number × winning rate. % + 3 × 20%).

  When the gaming state is RT0 to 4 and the lottery mode is the high probability B mode, when the cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won and the AT lottery condition is satisfied, FIG. AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. For example, the sub-control unit 91 identifies RT0 to RT4 based on the game state command from the main control unit 41, and cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay based on the internal winning command. Identify that you won. Further, the sub-control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the high probability B mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91c.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18C is referred to, if the winning combination is a weak cherry, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 70%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 2 at a rate of 20%. AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10%, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery is the number of navigation stocks × winning rate From the sum, it is configured to be 1.4 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%).

  When the table shown in FIG. 18C is referred to, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 2 at a rate of 80%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 20%. In this way, the AT lottery is performed, and the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery is 2.2 (= 2 × 80% + 3 × 20%).

  When the table shown in FIG. 18 (c) is referred to, RT0, 1, 4 are used, and if the winning combination is a middle-stage cherry or SP replay, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 100%. The AT lottery is performed, and the number of expected navigation stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery is configured to be 3 (= 3 × 100%) from the sum of the navigation stock number × winning rate. ing.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18C is referred to, RT2 and RT3, and if the winning combination is SP replay, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at 70%, and the navigation stock at 20%. As the number is determined to be 2 and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10%, the AT lottery is performed, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is It is configured to be 1.4 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%) from the sum of the stock number × winning rate.

  As described above, when the gaming state is RT0 to 4 and the lottery mode is the high probability A mode, it can be expected that the number of navigation stocks is larger than that in the normal mode. Furthermore, when the lottery mode is the high probability B mode, it is possible to expect a larger number of navigation stocks than the normal mode and the high probability A mode.

  Returning to FIG. 17, the AT lottery condition is satisfied at the end of the BB.

  When the AT lottery condition is satisfied by the end of BB, the AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies the end of BB based on, for example, a game state command from the main control unit 41.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18D is referred, at the end of BB1 to BB3 (at the end of BB accompanying the winning of BB1 to BB3), the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 70%. The AT lottery was held so that the number of Navistock was determined to be 1 at 20%, the number of Navistock was determined to be 2 at 5%, and the number of Navistock was determined to be 3 at 5%. The expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected in one AT lottery is 0.45 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 5% + 3 × 5) from the sum of Navistock number × winning rate %).

  When the table shown in FIG. 18 (d) is referred to, at the end of BB4 (at the end of BB accompanying the winning of BB4), the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 100%. A lottery is performed, and the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery is configured to be 3 (= 3 × 100%) from the sum of the Navi stock number × winning rate .

  As described above, at the end of BB1 to BB3, the winning of navigation stock can be expected, while at the end of BB4, the winning of three navigation stocks is confirmed.

  Returning to FIG. 17, the AT lottery condition is satisfied at the end of RB (excluding BBRB).

  When the AT lottery condition is satisfied by the end of the RB, the AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies the end of the RB based on, for example, a game state command from the main control unit 41.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18 (e) is referenced, AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined at a winning rate corresponding to the number of winning / losing points described later given during RB.

  Specifically, at 0 to 7 points, the AT lottery is performed so that the navigation stock number is determined to be 0 at 95% and the navigation stock number is determined to be 1 at 5%. The number of expected navigation stocks that can be expected to be obtained by lottery is configured to be 0.05 (= 0 × 95% + 1 × 5%) from the sum of the number of navigation stocks × winning rate.

  In 8-15 points, the number of Navistock is determined to be 0 at a rate of 70%, the number of Navistock is determined to be 1 at a rate of 20%, and the number of Navistock is determined to be 2 at a rate of 8%. AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at the ratio of, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is calculated from the sum of the number of navigation stocks × winning rate, It is configured to be 0.42 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%).

  At 16-23 points, the number of Navistock is determined to be 1 at 70%, the number of Navistock is determined to be 2 at 20%, and the number of Navistock is determined to be 3 at 10%. The number of expected navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is 1.4 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2) from the sum of the number of navigation stocks × winning rate. × 8% + 3 × 2%).

  At 24-31 points, the AT lottery is performed so that the navigation stock number is determined to be 2 at 80% and the navigation stock number is determined to be 3 at 20%. The number of expected navigation stocks that can be expected to be configured is 2.2 (= 2 × 80% + 3 × 20%), based on the sum of the number of navigation stocks × the winning rate.

  At 32 points or more, AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 100%, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is the number of navigation stocks X It is configured to be 3 (= 3 x 100%) from the sum of the winning rates.

  As described above, at the end of the RB, the expected value of the winning number of the navigation stock differs depending on the number of winning / losing points acquired during the RB, and the more the winning / losing point number, the more winning the number of navigation stocks can be expected. In particular, if you win 16 or more points, you will win 1 or more Navi stocks. If you win 32 or more points, you will win 3 or more Navi stocks. Is fixed.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs an effect called “Janken Chance” in each game during the RB. The janken chance is determined by janken according to the winning combination of the game and the first stop reel selected by the player, and the aforementioned winning / losing points are given according to the result.

  FIG. 19 (a) is a diagram showing the relationship between the winning combination, stop order and victory / defeat in Janken chance, and FIG. 19 (b) is a diagram showing the number of winning / losing points given according to the opponent, FIG. 19C is a diagram showing display contents according to the result of winning or losing.

  The sub-control unit 91 first performs an opponent selection lottery for selecting an opponent when the game is started when a chance is played. The opponent consists of A and B. As shown in FIG. 19 (b), when B is selected than when A is selected as the opponent, it is given in the case of winning and a draw A lot of winning and losing points are set.

  When the opponent is determined, the opponent is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. When the winning combination is RB1 to RB3, “go” corresponds to the left reel, “choki” corresponds to the middle reel, right “Par” corresponding to each reel is displayed as an ally card.

  Then, according to the winning combination and the first stop reel selected by the player, the opponent's card is displayed. If the ally card wins, it wins, and if the ally cart and the opponent's card are the same, a draw If you lose a friendly card, you lose.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), if the RB bell 1 is won and the first stop is the left reel, the win is won. If the first stop is the middle reel, the draw is made and the first stop is made. If it is a right reel, it is determined to lose.

  Also, if RB Bell 2 is elected and the first stop is the left reel, it will be lost, if the first stop is the middle reel, it will be won, and if the first stop is the right reel, it will be a draw. It has been established.

  Also, if RB Bell 3 is elected and the first stop is the left reel, it will be a draw, if the first stop is the middle reel, it will be lost, and if the first stop is the right reel, it will be won. It has been established.

  As described above, when the RB bell 1 is won and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the combination of the right-up bells among the selected small roles is controlled so as to be aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by pressing, the control is performed so that the combination of the right rising rivets is aligned with the winning line L1, and the RB bell 2 is selected. When the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle, the selected small In the combination, control is performed to stop the right-upward bell combination aligned with the winning line L1, and when the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the control is performed to stop the right-upward beveled combination aligned with the winning line L1. When a stop operation is performed by pressing the right button, control is performed so that the combination of the right-up rivets is aligned with the pay line L1, and the RB bell 3 is selected. If performed, control is performed so that the combination of right-up bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line L1 and stopped, and if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or middle, the combination of right-up bevel is awarded. Control to stop the line L1 is performed.

  Therefore, in Janken Chance, when the bells are aligned to the right, the teammates win, the bells are not aligned to the right, and “Bell-Bell-Replay / Plum” or “Replay / Plum-Bell” are to the right. -If you have a combination of "bells", you will draw or lose an ally card. That is, the combination of symbols stopped on the reel is linked to the winning or losing chance of the Janken chance in the liquid crystal display 51.

  Further, when the winning combination is not RB1 to RB3 but all roles or is out of play, that is, when no winning combination is selected, when the opponent is determined, the opponent is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. “Go” is displayed as a friendly card corresponding to each of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel. In this case, “Choki” is always displayed as the opponent's card, and the team always wins. At this time, if the winning combination is all roles, the bells will always be aligned to the right, and if they are off, none of the combinations will be aligned with the winning line L1, but “Black 7-Black 7” will increase to the right. -Black 7 "combination is ready.

  As described above, the number of winning / losing points given when the teammate card wins differs depending on the opponent selected at the start of the game. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19B, when the opponent is won, 4 points are awarded if the opponent is A, and 8 points are awarded if the opponent is B. In the case of a draw, if the opponent is A, 1 point is awarded, and if the opponent is B, 2 points are awarded. In the case of losing, no winning or losing points are awarded regardless of whether the opponent is A or B.

  In addition, when winning all roles, not only 4 points (8 points if the opponent is B) associated with winning, but also + α is 1 to 4 points (2, 4, 6, 8 if the opponent is B) One of the points). These points are allocated equally. Furthermore, in the case of losing, in addition to 16 points, 1 to 4 points (any of 4, 8, 12, 16 if the opponent is B) are given as + α. These points are allocated equally.

  As mentioned above, in the AT lottery at the end of the RB, winning of one or more Navistock will be confirmed with 16 points or more, so one or more will be won by winning 4 or more opponents or pulling out. The winning of Navistock will be confirmed.

  In addition, as described above, when the opponent is B, more wins / loss points will be awarded if the opponent wins or draws, but once the opponent is selected in the opponent selection lottery When B is selected as an opponent, a table with a high ratio of selecting B is selected from the next time onward, and more win / loss points can be expected thereafter.

  In addition, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a winning / losing history of Janken chance over a period of RB, and a winning count number indicating the winning expectation degree of Navistock according to the result of Janken chance.

  In the game history of Janken Chance, “X” is displayed corresponding to the losing game, “△” is displayed corresponding to the draw game, “◯” is displayed corresponding to the game winning “A”, and the game winning “B”. ◎ is displayed corresponding to, and the symbol “7” is displayed corresponding to the missed game.

  The winning count is +0 when losing a chance, +1 when winning, +1 when winning A, +2 when winning B, and +4 when losing. As mentioned above, 4 points will be awarded if you win A, 8 points will be awarded if you win B, 16 points will be awarded if you lose, and one or more navigation stocks will be won if you win more than 16 points. Since the winning count is 4 or more, winning of one or more navigation stocks is confirmed. On the other hand, even if the winning / losing point is less than 16 points, the winning of the Navistock can be expected. Therefore, even if the winning counter is less than 4 at the end of the RB, the winning of the Navistock can be expected.

  As described above, in this embodiment, whether or not the lottery condition is satisfied is determined by the AT lottery process performed by the sub-control unit 91. When the lottery condition is satisfied, the AT lottery is performed.

  When the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more is determined in the AT lottery, the sub-control unit 91 stores an AT flag indicating the AT and the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. Based on the AT flag in the RAM 91c, the sub-control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control to AT, and specifies the remaining number of navigation stocks. When the AT flag indicating AT is set, it is possible to control the AT by consuming one navigation stock number.

  When the number of navigation stocks is acquired when the AT flag indicating AT is set, the number of navigation stocks acquired this time is added to the number of navigation stocks specified from the AT flag.

  For example, when an AT lottery is performed when an AT flag indicating that the AT is set, the AT flag corresponding to the result of the AT lottery is updated. Updating to the AT flag corresponding to the AT lottery result is, for example, adding the number of navigation stocks corresponding to the result of the current AT lottery to the number of navigation stocks specified from the AT flag stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. It may be possible to rewrite the number of navigation stocks to an AT flag that specifies the number of navigation stocks, and any method may be used as long as the current AT flag according to the result of the AT lottery can be specified.

  The sub-control unit 91 manages the control to the AT based on the AT flag set according to the result of the AT lottery by performing the AT management process included in the AT control process when RT1 to RT4. .

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 controls the AT to be AT when it is specified from the AT flag that it is AT. That is, when navigation stock remains, AT control is started. During the period from RT4 to RT2, the navigation effect can be executed under the control of the AT without consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stocks.

  When controlled by AT and controlled by RT1 and RT2, the start condition to AT by consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock is satisfied, and a predetermined number of games (in this embodiment, Until the navigation effect of the number of games won in the number-of-games lottery described later) is executed, it is controlled to ART which is advantageous RT and AT. When the number of navigation stock is consumed, it is updated to the AT flag indicating the number of navigation stock subtracted by 1.

  The sub-control unit 91 executes the navigation effect executed by the navigation stock when the navigation stock is consumed by 1 in the AT management process, that is, when the transition from RT1 to RT2 or when a predetermined number of games have elapsed in RT2. A game number lottery for determining the number of games is executed.

  The number-of-games lottery is to determine the number of games of 30G, 50G, 70G, 90G, 111G, 222G, 333G, and 555G by lottery, and is performed with reference to Tables 1 to 4 shown in FIG. When table 1 is referenced, the average number of games selected is about 40G. When table 2 is referenced, the average number of games selected is about 45G. When table 3 is referenced, the average number selected. The number of games is about 50G, and when the table 4 is referenced, the average number of games selected is determined to be about 60G.

  These tables 1 to 4 are transferred to a table having a larger average number of games by winning a table transfer lottery. As a trigger for the table transfer lottery, even if the navigation stock remains in the AT, the latent lottery is won and the navigation effect is not executed. If the game shifts to RT4 once, the normal replay is performed during the AT. There are cases where a prize has been won more than a certain number of times. Then, these tables are transferred to a table with a small average number of games when, for example, the transition outcomes are complete in a state where RT4 and no navigation stock remain.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 consumes one navigation stock, and executes a game number notification effect for notifying the determined number of AT games when the number of AT games is determined by the number-of-games lottery. In the game number notification effect, when one navigation stock is consumed, the player is prompted to operate the effect switch 56, and the effect is to notify the number of games in response to the operation of the effect switch 56. It is.

  In the game number notification effect, if the number of games won in the game number lottery is 90 or less, the number of games won in response to one operation of the effect switch 56 is notified, and 111 or more If the number of games is won, after 90 games have been informed once, the operation of the effect switch 56 is further urged and finally determined in response to the operation of the effect switch 56 in that state. The number of games played is notified, and the player's expectation can be further enhanced.

  Note that, when the betting number setting operation is performed without operating the effect switch 56 and the game number notification effect is cancelled, the game number is counted while displaying “????” as the game number. Is started, and an effect is struck as to whether or not the AT ends for each number of games that can be won in the game number lottery. For this reason, the player can know the number of AT games accompanying the navigation stock by operating the effect switch 56 at the time of consumption of the navigation stock, and can operate the effect switch 56 without operating the effect switch 56. By canceling the notification effect, it is possible to choose not to know how long it will last until the AT ends and to maintain the expectation until the end.

  The sub-control unit 91 stores the number of games won in the game number lottery in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 controls to AT during a period until the number of games in the RAM 91c becomes zero. When the number of games remains and the target role of navigation is won, a navigation effect is executed.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs AT management processing, and controls to non-AT when the remaining number of games becomes 0 in ART. At this time, if the number of navigation stocks indicated by the AT flag is 0, it is updated to the AT flag indicating that it is not AT. In other words, a series of AT termination conditions are satisfied when the AT flag for controlling from AT to non-AT is 0.

  When it is specified from the AT flag when it is controlled to be non-AT that it is not AT, it is not controlled again by the AT and the navigation effect is not executed. Thereby, when it is RT2, there is a higher possibility that the transition outcomes will be aligned, and the possibility of being controlled by RT4 is increased.

  On the other hand, if the number of navigation stocks specified from the AT flag when controlled to non-AT is 1 or more, when the target role of the navigation effect is won, 1 is consumed and the number of games is drawn. The AT is controlled until a navigation effect is performed over the number of won games. Then, the number of navigation stocks is also 0, and the number of navigations is also 0, so that the AT ends.

  The sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state when the AT flag is specified by the AT management process. The navigation target combination corresponding to the game state is replay GR1 to 6 when RT4, replay GR11 to 16 and replay GR21 to 25 when RT1, and replay GR31 to 36 when RT2. In RT1-4, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination.

  As a navigation effect when winning replays GR1 to GR6, a push order (see FIG. 15) for winning a promotion replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR1. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR2, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR3 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 4 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR5, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 6 is won, a message such as “Right Middle Left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navigation effect when the replays GR11 to 16 are won, the push order (see FIG. 15) for winning the promoted replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR11. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 12, a message such as “Middle right and left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 13, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 14, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 15 is won, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 16 is won, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navigation effect when winning replays GR21 to GR25, a push order (see FIG. 15) for winning a special replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 21. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 22 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the replay GR 23 is won. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 24 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 25 is won, a message such as “Right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navigation effect (excluding RT3) when the replays GR31 to 36 are won, a push order (see FIG. 15) for winning the SP replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the replay GR 31 is won. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 32 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 33 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 34, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 35, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 36 is won, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  Further, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a push order (see FIG. 16) for surely winning the right-down bell or the middle bell is notified. For example, when winning the left bell, the left reel is stopped as the first stop reel, so that the right falling bell can be reliably won, so “left!” For stopping the left reel as the first stop reel. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the middle bell is won, the middle bell can be surely won by stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel, so “medium!” For stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel. A message is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Also, when the right bell is won, the middle bell can be reliably won by stopping the right reel as the first stop reel, so “right!” For stopping the right reel as the first stop reel. A message is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target role. For this reason, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being conscious of the type of the winning navigation target combination.

  In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. In addition, the navigation effect is not limited to what is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to make the promotion replay winning, the special replay winning, the SP replay winning, the bell winning selected intentionally, and avoid the falling replay winning.

  In the AT control process, the sub-control unit 91 performs a lottery mode lottery that determines whether the AT lottery mode is the normal mode, the high probability A mode, or the high probability B mode. In the lottery mode lottery, whether a predetermined lottery condition (in this embodiment, a watermelon (weak watermelon, strong watermelon) wins at RT0 to 4 or at the end of AT) based on a command from the main control unit 41 is established. It is determined whether or not a lottery mode lottery is executed.

  As described above, the lottery mode indicates the winning probability of the number of navigation stocks applied to the AT lottery. The higher probability A mode than the normal mode and the higher probability B mode than the high probability mode A can be expected to acquire a larger number of navigation stocks.

  When the lottery mode lottery condition is established by winning the weak watermelon at RT0 to 4, the lottery mode lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the weak watermelon in FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies RT0 to RT4 based on, for example, a game state command from the main control unit 41, and specifies a weak watermelon winning based on the internal winning command.

  When the table corresponding to the weak watermelon in FIG. 21 is referenced, the normal mode is determined at a rate of 50%, the high probability A mode is determined at a rate of 40%, and the high probability B mode is determined at a rate of 10%. As described above, a lottery mode lottery is performed.

  When the lottery mode lottery condition is established by winning the strong watermelon at RT0 to RT4, the lottery mode lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the strong watermelon in FIG. For example, the sub-control unit 91 specifies RT0 to 4 based on the game state command from the main control unit 41, and specifies strong watermelon winning based on the internal winning command.

  When the table corresponding to the strong watermelon in FIG. 21 is referred to, the lottery mode lottery is performed so that the high probability A mode is determined at a rate of 50% and the high probability B mode is determined at a rate of 50%. .

  When the lottery mode lottery condition is satisfied by the end of AT, the lottery mode lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the AT end of FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies the AT end based on the AT flag and the number of remaining games, for example.

  When the table corresponding to the AT end in FIG. 21 is referred to, the lottery mode lottery is performed so that the high probability A mode is determined at a rate of 80% and the high probability B mode is determined at a rate of 20%. .

  When the high probability modes A and B are controlled, the mode drop lottery is performed at the time of the normal replay winning of RT0, 1, 2, 4 and the high probability mode A is selected. For example, the normal mode is shifted to the normal mode with a probability of about 1/9 at the time of the normal replay winning, and if it is RT2, the mode is shifted to the normal mode with the probability of about 1/60 at the time of the normal replay winning, and the high probability mode B. If it is RT0, 1, or 4, it will shift to the high probability mode A with a probability of about 1/3 at the time of the normal replay winning, and if it is RT2, the high probability mode A with a probability of about 1/20 at the time of the normal replay winning.

  In the sub-control unit 91, as described above, when the SP replay is won, an AT lottery is performed and a winning of one or more navigation stock numbers is acquired. Furthermore, when SP replay wins at RT2, one or more navigation stocks can be acquired, and the winning probability of replay GRs 31 to 36 that allow SP replay shifts to RT3 higher than RT2.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 22, the sub-control unit 91 controls to any one of the no-navigation section, the partial navigation section, and the entire navigation section in RT3.

  The section without navigation is a section without any navigation when the replays GR31 to 36 are selected. In RT3, winning the special replay will shift to RT2, so if the replay GR31-36 is won in the no-navigation section, the SP replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and the navigation stock is 1 One or more of them are given, and a normal replay wins with a probability of 1/6. Together, RT3 is maintained with a probability of 1/3, while a special replay wins with a probability of 4/6. It will shift to RT2 with probability.

  The partial navigation section is a section in which partial navigation is performed in which only the first stop reel that can maintain at least RT3 when the replays GR31 to 36 are selected is notified. For this reason, when replay GR31-36 is elected in a partial navigation section, the SP replay wins with a probability of 1/2 by stopping the first stop reel notified by partial navigation first. One or more navigation stocks are given, and even if SP replay does not win, normal replay wins with a probability of 1/2 and RT3 is maintained.

  The whole navigation section is a section in which full navigation is performed in which the push order that can win the SP replay when the replays GR31 to 36 are won is notified. For this reason, if the replays GR31 to 36 are won in all navigation sections, the reels are stopped in the order informed by the entire navigation, so that the SP replay will win and at least one navigation stock will be given. It becomes.

  In addition, a partial navigation in which a first stop reel that can maintain the RT3 at the time of winning the replays GR31 to 36 in the partial navigation section is executed, and the SP is performed when the replays GR31 to 36 are selected in the entire navigation section. All navigation to notify the push order that allows the replay to be awarded is executed, but the notification mode in these partial navigations and all navigations is also the same mode as the navigation effect described above It may be good or different.

  Also, in RT3, in any section, when the push order bell is won, the navigation effect described above is executed, so if the stop operation is performed in the notified order, the process proceeds from RT3 to RT4. There is no end to it.

  In addition, while controlled by RT3, the number of AT games does not advance even if some navigation, all navigation, and navigation effects are executed. The number of Navistock is never digested.

  When shifting to RT3, the sub-control unit 91 first determines whether to control to a no-navigation section, a partial navigation section, or an entire navigation section. These differ in the proportion of sections controlled according to the state before the transition to RT3. For example, in this embodiment, if the state before the transition is non-AT, the no-navigation section, the partial navigation section, and the entire navigation section are determined equally, and if the state before the transition is AT, the partial navigation section Or all navigation sections are determined equally. If the state before the transition is AT and the lottery mode is the high probability mode B, the entire navigation section is determined.

  When the transition to a partial navigation section or the entire navigation section is determined, a navigation number lottery for determining the remaining number of partial navigations or all navigations is performed. The number of times of winning the navigation is stored in the RAM 91c, and 1 is subtracted every time the replay GR 31-36 is selected and a partial navigation or a full navigation is executed.

  In this embodiment, when a transition to a partial navigation section or an entire navigation section is determined, a navigation number lottery is performed, and a partial navigation or a total navigation is executed for the selected number of navigations. The number of times of navigation may be determined as the number of times of navigation without performing the number of times of navigation. In addition, when the replay GRs 31 to 36 are won in the partial navigation section or the entire navigation section, a navigation execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the partial navigation or the entire navigation is performed. A configuration may be adopted in which all navigation is performed, and when the transition to a partial navigation section or all navigation sections is determined, the winning probability of the navigation execution lottery is determined from a plurality of different probabilities.

  Moreover, once it shifts to all the navigation sections, it shifts to a part navigation section when the number of times of navigation becomes 0 without shifting to other sections until the number of navigations won at that time becomes 0. . When all navigation sections are finished, skip all navigation sections and move to no-navigation sections without skipping some navigation sections. To do. When a transition is made from the entire navigation section to the partial navigation section, the navigation frequency lottery is performed again, and the navigation frequency of the partial navigation section is determined. When the number of times of navigation in a part of the navigation section is also zero, the transition is made to the section without navigation, during which the replays GR31 to 36 are elected, and the special replay wins to transition to RT2.

  Also, if a role with a relatively low probability of winning, such as cherry or watermelon, is won in a non-navigation section or a partial navigation section, if there is no navigation section, a partial navigation section or a partial navigation section In the section, the section promotion lottery that decides whether or not to be promoted to all navigation sections is performed, and by winning, if there is no navigation section, some navigation sections or all navigation sections, some navigation sections Then, it shifts to the whole navigation section. In addition, even if some navigation sections are not promoted to all navigation sections, a lottery will be added to the number of navigations, and if you win, the number of winning will be added to the number of navigations Yes. In addition, if a role with a relatively low probability of winning such as cherry or watermelon is won in all navigation sections, a lottery will be added to the number of navigations, and if won, the number of times won will be added to the number of navigations. It has become.

  In this embodiment, in a no-navigation section or a partial navigation section, if a role with a relatively low probability of winning such as cherry or watermelon is elected, if there is no navigation section, a partial navigation section or all navigation sections, In some Navi sections, a lottery for the promotion of sections to determine whether or not to be promoted to all Navi sections and a lottery with an additional number of navigations are performed, but in some Navi sections, SP Replay was won by oneself If the answer is correct in the order of pushing the SP replay on its own, or if the normal replay or SP replay is won on its own in the no-navigation section, that is, if the normal replay or SP replay is awarded on its own, You may make it perform a promotion lottery or an addition lottery.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram showing the transition status of the navigation section in RT3.

  For example, at the time of transition to RT3, when the transition to the partial navigation section is determined and two times are won in the navigation number lottery, the transition to the partial navigation section is performed, and the remaining number of navigation times is two. When the replays GR31 to 34 are elected in this state, a partial navigation in which only the first stop reel capable of maintaining RT3 is notified is executed, and by performing a stop operation accordingly, RT3 is maintained and the remaining number of times of navigation is maintained. Is once.

  In this state, if the cherries are won, promoted to all navigation sections, and once won in the navigation count lottery, the system shifts to all navigation sections, and the remaining navigation count is one. When the replays GR31 to 34 are elected in this state, RT3 is maintained and RT3 is maintained by performing a stop operation in accordance with the stop order in which the stop order capable of winning the SP replay is notified. And one or more navigation stocks will be given. Then, the remaining number of times of navigation is 0, and a shift is made to a part of the navigation section, so the number of navigation times is selected. If the number of times of navigation is selected three times, the system shifts to a partial navigation section, and the remaining number of times of navigation is three. In this state, the watermelon is won and there is no promotion to all navigation, but if the number of navigation times is added and the lottery is won once, some navigation sections are maintained and the number of navigation times is increased to 4 times. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, at RT3, when the replays GR31 to 36 are elected, one or more SP replays are awarded and a special replay winning that will shift to RT2 is avoided. Only the first stop reel capable of avoiding a special replay winning that will shift to at least RT2 when winning the replay GR31-36, all navigation sections in which all navigation in which the stop order is notified is executed. When there is a partial navigation section in which some of the informed navigation is executed, no navigation section in which none of the information is reported, and when it is first controlled to all navigation sections, immediately after the end of all navigation sections, Since it shifts to a partial navigation section without shifting, even if the entire navigation section ends, all notifications do not end immediately, By being controlled between, since its own at a by winning the SP replay while avoiding the transition to RT2 becomes possible to acquire the navigation stock, it is possible to enhance the interest in RT3 effectively.

  Further, in the state where the number of navigations in all navigation sections remains in RT3, that is, the number of all navigations in which the stop order in which the SP replay is won and the navigation stock can be acquired is informed remains one. There is no transition to the partial navigation section or the no-navigation section, and the transition to the partial navigation section is always made after the number of navigations reaches zero, even though the number of navigations for all navigation sections remains. Therefore, the player can surely digest the number of navigations in the entire navigation section without shifting to a partial navigation section or a section without navigation that is disadvantageous to the entire navigation section.

  In RT3, the condition for avoiding the transition to RT2 is the first stop reel that is stopped first among the three reels, and the SP replay winning condition is the first stop reel that is stopped first among the three reels. And the second stop reel to be stopped next, the latter is notified in all navigation sections, and the former is notified in some navigation sections in some navigation sections, so even a low-skilled player is notified. The operation of stopping the reel can be performed in the above operation mode.

  In addition, a promotion lottery that determines whether or not to be promoted to all navigation sections or partial navigation sections by winning a role with a relatively low probability of winning such as watermelon or cherry in some navigation sections or no navigation sections. If it is selected and won, it will be promoted to the entire navigation section or partial navigation section, so the expectation that navigation stock can be acquired even if the entire navigation section or partial navigation section ends in RT3 is maintained Can be made.

  In addition, even if a special replay wins at RT3 and moves to RT2, it is possible to move to RT3 again by winning SP replay at RT2, so RT3 ends and shifts to RT2. However, it can give a sense of expectation that Navistock can be acquired.

  Even if RT4 is the most unfavorable gaming state for the player and does not shift directly to RT3, it shifts to RT1 when the promoted replay wins in RT4, and further special replay is performed in RT1. Since winning makes a transition to RT2, which may shift directly to RT3, RT4 can also make a transition to RT3 and have a sense of expectation for acquiring navigation stock.

  In this embodiment, when the AT target combination is won, the stop mode changes according to the stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. However, as the AT target combination, the stop switches 8L, 8C, The stop mode may be changed in accordance with both the operation timing of 8R (so-called eye-pressing timing) and the operation timing and stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. As an operation mode that is advantageous to the player when the AT target combination is won, an effect of notifying the timing of the stop operation or both the timing of the stop operation and the pressing order may be performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, SP replay to which one or more navigation stocks are given is applied as an advantageous display result advantageous to the player, but at least a display result advantageous to the player may be used. Display results with a high probability of winning Navistock or a high average value of the number of winning Navistock, and a display result of whether or not to shift to a state advantageous to the player, such as the lottery mode lottery described above May be applied.

  Also, in this embodiment, the game state that is the most disadvantageous for the player as the normal game state is RT4 that does not shift directly to RT3, that is, when the promoted replay wins in RT4, it shifts to RT1, In RT1, it is a configuration that shifts to RT2 that may shift directly to RT3 when a special replay wins, but at least a configuration that does not shift to RT2 that can shift directly to RT3 from RT4 as a normal gaming state The configuration may be such that the transition from RT4 to RT2 can be performed directly. Even in such a configuration, the transition to RT2 may be performed directly when RT4 transition conditions are satisfied in the RT4. Since it will shift, RT4 will also move to RT3 and give it a sense of expectation for acquiring Navistock. It is possible.
