It is to provide a slot machine that can prevent the player from inadvertently giving a sense of expectation to the player, and can maintain the player's interest in the game even if the game is continued. .

  In order to achieve the above object, the slot machine according to the present invention is a slot machine capable of executing a game in which a game medium is inserted and a plurality of reels displaying a plurality of symbols are rotated and stopped. A combination lottery means for performing a combination lottery for determining at least one combination or deviation from a plurality of combinations and a plurality of reels on which a plurality of symbols are displayed, and then a stop based on a reel stop operation. When a signal is received, a reel control means for displaying a predetermined symbol at a predetermined position by reel stop control, and a winning flag is set when a winning combination is determined in the winning lottery, and the corresponding selecting flag is set. In the state, when it is determined that a symbol or a combination of symbols based on the combination determined in the combination lottery is displayed by the reel stop control, the player including the payout of game media is assigned to the player. A bonus grant control means for performing a control process for granting a bonus and a notification effect having information useful for displaying a symbol or a combination of symbols based on the symbol determined in the symbol lottery in the reel stop operation Effect control means for performing a control process for carrying out a predetermined effect including: a winning combination for performing a winning game when the corresponding symbol or combination of symbols is displayed in the winning combination; When a specific lottery result is obtained in the combination lottery, a specific combination in which symbol 1 or symbol combination 1 may be displayed and symbol 2 or symbol combination 2 may be displayed by the reel stop operation. The winning game 1 for performing the notification effect for displaying the symbol 1 or the symbol combination 1 in the winning game, and the symbol 2 or There is a winning game 2 for performing the notification effect for displaying the pattern combination 2, and when the result of the specific winning lottery in the winning game 2 is the specific winning lottery result, the privilege granting control means performs the predetermined game. It is conceivable to perform a control process for giving a privilege.

  A slot machine capable of playing a game in which a game medium is inserted and a plurality of reels on which a plurality of symbols are displayed is rotated to stop the game. And after receiving a stop signal based on a reel stop operation after rotating a plurality of reels displaying a plurality of symbols and a combination lottery means for performing a combination lottery for determining at least one combination or disparity, Reel control means for displaying a predetermined symbol at a predetermined position by reel stop control, and when the reel stop control determines that a symbol or a combination of symbols based on the result of the lottery is displayed, the game medium is paid out. A bonus grant control means for performing a control process for granting a predetermined bonus to a player including the winner, and winning a specific role in the role lottery performed in the winning game And counting means for counting the number of times, and in the winning lottery in the winning game, the winning probability in the winning lottery is the specific role or a role other than the specific role than the specific role When the other low winning combination is won in the combination lottery and the corresponding symbol is displayed, the game medium is paid out, and when the specific combination is won in the winning combination lottery in the winning game, the player's reel stop operation The corresponding symbol is always displayed, and when the other combination is won in the winning lottery in the winning game, the corresponding symbol may or may not be displayed by the player's reel stop operation. The game end requirement is that the number of acquired game media in the winning game reaches a predetermined number, and the other role is won in the winning game. In a mode corresponding to the number of winning of the specific combination counted by the counting means when the winning game is completed, the control process for giving the player a privilege related to the acquisition of the game medium is performed. Further, it is conceivable to further perform a control process for giving a player a privilege related to the acquisition of the game medium.

Here, the game medium is a medium inserted into the slot machine for playing a game, and for example, a coin, a medal, or a chip can be considered. Moreover, as long as this object can be achieved, the product is not limited to an article, and for example, an electromagnetically acting material such as a magnetic card can be applied. In addition, the introduction of the game medium includes a case where the player actually inserts a game medium from a game medium insertion port provided in the slot machine or the like. Using a predetermined number of credited game media is also included.
Here, as the “combination”, in general, a “winning role” for performing a “winning game” for making the game proceed in an advantageous manner for the player and a predetermined number of game media are paid out when winning. A general combination and a “re-playing combination” for “re-playing” in which the next game can be executed without inserting a game medium are included. In this embodiment, a specific game state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer in the role lottery is different from that in the normal game can be set as the game state that can be executed in the winning game or the general game. In this case, the case where the winning probability of the re-gamer in the role lottery is higher or lower than the normal game is included. In addition, the case where the winning probability of the re-gamer is greatly different from the normal game and the case where it is very slightly different are also included. Furthermore, when there are lottery results for a plurality of re-game players as a specific game state, even if the total value of the re-game player win probabilities is the same as that of a normal game, the win probability (ratio) of each re-game player ) May be different from normal games.

Here, “winning game” means “winning game” in which a game proceeds in an advantageous manner for a player when a winning game is won in a winning lottery and the symbol corresponding to the winning game stops and wins a prize. It is a role that can be performed.
Among the winning combinations, there is a regular bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as “RB combination”), and this RB combination is a combination of shifting to an RB game, which is one of the winning games. Can be performed a number of times.
In addition, there is a big bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as “BB combination”) among winning combinations, and this BB combination (sometimes referred to as “1 type BB combination”) is transferred to BB game which is one of the winning games. It is a role to let you. This BB game is a game in which a general game and a transition to an RB game can be made under certain conditions during the general game, and the general game and the RB game are reached until a predetermined number of game media payouts is reached. It is a game that can be repeated.

  An RB game performed during a BB game may be referred to as a shift regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as “SRB game”). In addition, as shown below, the SRB game may be referred to as a “second winning combination”. It is also possible to set a plurality of BB games. For example, it is possible to provide a plurality of BB games with different setting of the winning probability of a predetermined combination and the number of finishes.

  In addition, a middle bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as “MB combination”) can be set as a winning combination, and this MB combination (sometimes referred to as “2 type BB combination”) is one of the winning games. It is a role to shift to MB games (sometimes referred to as “2 types of BB games”). In this MB game, a predetermined number of game media to be paid out for a game in which a winning process (sometimes referred to as “CB game”) is performed when a combination of predetermined symbols is stopped, regardless of the result of the winning lottery. This can be done continuously until (the number of finished sheets) is reached. It is possible to set a plurality of MB games, for example, it is possible to provide a plurality of MB games with different end number settings. Furthermore, a single bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as “SB combination”) can be set as a winning combination, and this SB combination is a combination that is transferred to an SB game which is one of the winning games. This SB game is a hit game in which only one game is played.

The “general combination” is a combination in which a predetermined number of game media are paid out when a general combination is won by lottery and a symbol corresponding to the general combination is won.
As will be described later, “re-gamer” means that a re-gamer is won by lottery, and when the symbol corresponding to the re-gamer stops and wins, the game is replayed without inserting game media. It is a role that can be implemented “replay” (also referred to as “replay”). In addition, when a re-gamer wins and wins, a re-game can be performed with the same number of bets as the number of bets in the game before winning the re-gamer (the number of inserted game media), or different bet numbers. You can also play again. In addition, as the specified number of game media that can be inserted in one game, an arbitrary number can be used, and a plurality of types of re-games can be set.

In the “lottery” for determining one combination, for example, it is desirable to generate a random number and determine one winning combination based on the value. Regarding the generation of random numbers, it is conceivable to use a random number generator or to generate them on software using a computer or the like.
The “reel on which the symbol is displayed” includes a reel that is physically rotated and stopped by a motor or the like, and a reel on the image that is displayed on the display device and is rotated and stopped on the image. It is. The “reel control means” performs stop control of the rotating reels when receiving a stop signal transmitted based on the player's stop operation. In this case, it is possible to set the rotation of all the reels to be stopped by one stop operation, or to set only the reels that have been operated to stop based on the operation corresponding to each reel. Is possible.

In the case where “a symbol or a combination of symbols based on the result of the role lottery is displayed”, it includes the case where the symbol corresponding to the role determined in the role lottery is displayed on the active line and winning a prize. The symbol corresponding to the combination determined in (1) is not displayed on the active line, but the case where a so-called outlier is displayed is included, or in the case of the combination lottery, a predetermined symbol corresponding to the case of deviation is displayed Is also included.

  “Granting a predetermined privilege including payout of game media” includes not only payout of game media, but also information useful for a player to display a symbol corresponding to a role determined by a role lottery, for example. Including a presentation effect that includes a so-called premier image that is not normally seen. It should be noted that the effects performed by the effect control means include not only effects using images and sound but also effects using display lamps and other operable accessory devices.

As the “specific combination”, any combination including a general combination and a replay combination can be set. “When a specific lottery result is obtained in the role lottery” includes not only a case where a predetermined role is won but also a case of a loss. In the case of a loss, “symbol 1 or symbol combination 1” or “symbol 2 or symbol combination 2” is displayed as a symbol corresponding to the slip.
For “symbol 1 or symbol combination 1” and “symbol 2 or symbol combination 2”, when a particular role lottery result is obtained for a specific role, and the symbol on one reel is targeted In some cases, symbols 1 and 2 which are different symbols are displayed (for example, replay and bell). Further, when symbols on a plurality of (for example, three) reels are targeted, a symbol combination 1 and a symbol combination 2 having different symbols displayed on at least one reel may be displayed. In this case, when the symbols are different (for example, replay / replay / replay and replay / replay bell), or when the symbols are the same but the displayed reel positions are different (for example, replay / replay / replay). -Bell and Replay Bell Replay).

  In this embodiment, in the winning game 1, when a specific combination lottery result is obtained in the combination lottery, a notification effect for displaying the symbol 1 or the combination 1 of symbols is performed, so the player is based on this notification effect. Thus, symbol 1 or symbol combination 1 can be displayed. On the other hand, in the winning game 2, since the notification effect for displaying the symbol 2 or the symbol combination 2 is performed, the player can display the symbol 2 or the symbol combination 2 based on the notification effect.

In addition, when a specific lottery result is obtained in the winning lottery in the winning game 2, the control process for giving a predetermined privilege is performed, so that the winning game 2 can be said to be a gaming state advantageous to the player.
Further, in the winning game 2, the player displays the symbol 2 or the symbol combination 2 based on the notification effect, so that the symbol 2 or the symbol combination 2 is referred to as a symbol different from the normal or a symbol combination different from the normal. it can. On the other hand, since the control process for giving a predetermined privilege is not performed even if displayed, symbol 1 or symbol combination 1 can be called a normal symbol or a normal symbol combination.

  Therefore, in the hit game 2 which is a game state advantageous to the player, an unusual event occurs (for example, a different symbol or a different symbol combination is displayed) and the player feels uncomfortable. By preventing the occurrence of unusual events in other gaming states, it will not inadvertently give the player a sense of expectation, so that even if the game continues, the player's interest in the game will be maintained. Can be expected.

  In the slot machine according to the present invention, the winning requirement for the winning game is that the number of acquired game media in the winning game reaches a predetermined number, and in the effect performed by the effect control means, There is a special effect 1 that starts with the start of the winning game 1 and a special effect 2 that starts with the start of the winning game 2, and the end requirement of the special effect 1 is the lottery after the start of the special effect The special effect 1 may continue to be performed even after the winning game ends, and the requirement for the special effect 2 to end is that the winning game 2 The symbol 1 or the symbol combination 1 is displayed in at least a part of the period during which the special effect 1 is being performed. Performs the notification effect, it said that performs the notification effect for displaying the symbol 2 or a combination of symbols 2 to at least a portion of the period of the special effect 2 periods being implemented contemplated.

In this embodiment, the special effect 1 is started with the start of the winning game 1, and the special effect 1 ends when the number of winning of the predetermined role in the winning lottery after the start of the special effect reaches the predetermined number. The special performance 1 may be continuously performed after the end. On the other hand, special effect 2 is started with the start of winning game 2, and special effect 2 is also ended when winning game 2 ends.
Therefore, the player can recognize that it is in a special gaming state by the special effect, and the requirements for ending the special effect are different between the games 1 and 2, so that the progress of the effect and the progress of the game can be changed. it can.
Furthermore, at least a part of the period in which the special effect 2 is performed by performing a notification effect for displaying the symbol 1 or the combination 1 of the symbols in at least a part of the period in which the special effect 1 is being performed. Since the notification effect for displaying the symbol 2 or the symbol combination 2 is performed during a part of the period, it can be expected that the player's interest in the game is increased.

  In the slot machine according to the present invention, when the notification effect for displaying the symbol 1 or the symbol combination 1 is performed in the game in which the special effect 1 is continued after the winning game is finished, the reel stop is performed. If the symbol 1 or the symbol combination 1 is not displayed by the operation, it may be impossible to shift to a gaming state advantageous to the player.

In this embodiment, in a game in which the special effect 1 is continued after the winning game, when the notification effect for displaying the symbol 1 or the symbol combination 1 is performed, the symbol 1 or the symbol combination 1 is displayed by the reel stop operation. If it is not displayed, it is impossible to shift to a gaming state advantageous to the player. Therefore, in the game in which the special effect 1 is performed, the player 1 according to the instruction content of the notification effect 1 or the combination 1 of the symbols It is considered that the reel stop operation is performed so that is displayed.
Therefore, it can be expected that the player's interest in the notification effect is increased, and that the player's interest in the game is increased.

  As the slot machine according to the present invention, there is a re-playing combination that can execute the next game without inserting the gaming medium when the corresponding symbol or combination of symbols is displayed in the combination. In the state, there is a specific gaming state in which the winning probability of the re-playing role in the winning lottery is different from that of a normal game, and the winning game of the re-playing role is higher than the normal game, Furthermore, in the bonus granting specific game for performing the control process for granting the predetermined bonus, when the winning combination is won in the winning lottery, the winning game 2 is displayed after the corresponding symbol or symbol combination is displayed. When a winning combination is won in the role lottery in a game state other than the bonus-giving specific game, before the corresponding symbol or symbol combination is displayed It is conceivable to perform per game 1.

In the present embodiment, when the winning probability of the re-playing role is higher than that of the normal game, and in the privilege granting specific game for performing the control process for giving a predetermined privilege, when the winning combination is won in the role lottery Is configured to perform a hit game 2. In other words, in a bonus-giving specific game that is advantageous to the player, if a winning combination is won in the role lottery, the game state shifts from a gaming state that is advantageous to the player to another gaming state, but is not disadvantageous for the player. Then, the process can be shifted to the hit game 2 and a control process for giving a predetermined privilege can be performed. Furthermore, in the winning game 2, the game proceeds in a state advantageous to the player, and as in the winning game 1, the game state is disadvantageous for the player, or the game state advantageous to the player cannot be changed. Does not occur.
On the other hand, in a game state other than the bonus-giving specific game, when a winning combination is won in the winning lottery, the winning game 1 is performed without performing a control process for giving a predetermined privilege.
Therefore, it is possible to change the progress of the game and give the player a game fun, so that it can be expected to increase the player's interest in the game.

  As the slot machine according to the present invention, the specific game can be executed during the winning game, and the specific game being executed is continued even if the winning game is ended during the specific game. It is thought that it is done.

  In this embodiment, the specific game can be executed during the winning game, and the specific game can be continued even after the winning game is finished. Therefore, it is difficult for the player to determine whether or not the winning game is finished. It is possible to provide a player with a game of fun. Further, in the hit game 1, when the special effect 1 continues even after the hit game 1 is finished, the player can give the player an impression that the hit game 1 is continued by the special effect 1. It is possible to give gamers a fun game.

  According to the above-described invention, in the hit game 2 which is a game state advantageous to the player, an event different from the normal event is generated (for example, a different symbol or a combination of symbols different from the normal symbol is displayed). By preventing the player from feeling uncomfortable by giving the player a sense of incongruity and preventing the occurrence of unusual events in other gaming states, even if the game is continued, Expect to sustain interest.

This game is performed every time the player tilts the start switch 50, and the process from the start of rotation to the stop of rotation of the reels 40L, 40C, or 40R can be repeated as one unit of game. .

  Examples of the types of combinations described above include types such as winning combinations, general combinations, and re-playing combinations. The winning combination is a combination in which when a winning combination is won by lottery and when a winning combination is awarded according to the winning combination, a winning game that allows the player to advance the game advantageously can be performed. Further, the general combination is a combination of paying out a predetermined number of game media when a general combination is won by lottery and a symbol corresponding to the general combination is won. It should be noted that the general combination includes a so-called single combination in which the payout number of game media is one. In addition, when a re-gamer wins a re-game player by lottery and wins all the symbols according to the re-game player, a re-game (also referred to as replay) is performed without newly inserting a game medium. It is a role that can.

  Also, for example, when a predetermined symbol is displayed in the reel stop operation, the RT operation state (specific game state) in which the probability that the re-gamer is won by the role lottery means is set to a higher value than the normal game is executed. Can be given to the player. As this predetermined symbol, not only the symbol constituting the above-mentioned role but also the symbol (so-called spilled eye) displayed when the symbol corresponding to the winning role cannot be stopped. It may be one of the symbols displayed in the case of a shift in the role lottery.

  Here, “winning” indicates that a combination of symbols is aligned on the active line, and corresponding processing is performed based on the display. Examples of the processing include transition of the RT state and processing of paying out game media when game media payout is set. “Stop” means that the reel that was rotating stops and the symbol drawn on the reel stops in the display frame. “Display” means that the reel that was rotating stops. This means that the symbol is displayed at a predetermined position (for example, on the effective line) in the display frame.

In addition, there is a regular bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as “RB combination”) as a winning combination, and this RB combination is a role that shifts to an RB game which is one of the winning games. It can be performed a predetermined number of times.
In addition, there is a big bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as “BB combination”) among winning combinations, and this BB combination (sometimes referred to as “1 type BB combination”) is transferred to BB game which is one of the winning games. It is a role to let you. This BB game is a game in which a general game and a transition to an RB game can be made under certain conditions during the general game, and the general game and the RB game are reached until a predetermined number of game media payouts is reached. It is a game that can be repeated. An RB game performed during a BB game may be referred to as a shift regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as “SRB game”).

There is also a mode in which a game in which a predetermined combination is won with a high probability is continuously performed until a predetermined number of payouts of game media is reached without playing an RB game. For example, it is also possible to provide a plurality of BB games with different setting of the winning probability and the number of finishes of a predetermined combination.
Further, as a winning combination, a middle bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as MB combination) or a single bonus (hereinafter referred to as SB combination) can be set. The MB combination (sometimes referred to as “two-type BB combination”) is a combination to be transferred to an MB game (which may be referred to as “two-type BB combination”), which is one of the winning games. Regardless of the result of the winning lottery, a game in which a winning process (sometimes referred to as a CB game) is performed when a combination of predetermined symbols is stopped until a predetermined number of game media payouts is reached. Can be done. The SB combination is a combination to shift to SB game which is one of the winning games, and this SB game is a winning game in which only one game is performed.

<Description of Main Control Circuit 100>
The main control circuit 100 includes a role lottery means 410, a reel control means 440, a main privilege grant control means 450, a re-game control means 460, and a specific game state control means 470.
The role lottery means 410 performs a lottery of a winning combination (winning combination, general winning combination, re-playing combination, etc.) by a combination lottery process. The role lottery means 410 includes, for example, a random number generator 112 (hard random number, etc.) for the role lottery, a random number extraction means 420 that extracts a random number generated by the random number generator 112, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means 420 And random number determination means 430 for determining the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination. The control processing by the role lottery means 410 is shown in the role lottery processing subroutine (see FIG. 6).

  The reel control means 440 controls the motors 80L, 80C, 80R by receiving the reel rotation start signal transmitted from the start switch 50, rotates the reels 40L, 40C, 40R, and the reel stop switch Based on the reel stop rising signal transmitted at the start of the operation of 52L, 52C, 52R or the reel stop falling signal transmitted at the end of the operation, control related to the reel operation for stopping the reels 40L, 40C, 40R is performed. In the stop control, a symbol combination control is performed to prevent or prevent the stop symbols from being aligned according to the winning combination. The control processing by the reel control means 440 as described above is shown in the reel fluctuation / stop subroutine (see FIG. 7).

When the main privilege granting control means 450 determines that a winning combination or a general winning combination is won in the winning lottery process, and the winning symbol determination regarding the stopped symbol is a winning combination of symbols corresponding to each winning combination, Control is performed to execute a winning game that proceeds in an advantageous manner for the player and payout of a predetermined number of game media.
When the re-game control means 460 determines that the symbols corresponding to the re-gamer have been prepared by the winning symbol determination regarding the symbol that has been won by the re-game player in the lottery process, the next game medium is not inserted. Control for playing a game is performed. The control process by the main privilege grant control means 450 and the replay control means 460 is shown in a winning determination / flag-off process subroutine described later (see FIGS. 8 to 15).

  The specific game state control means 470 is configured such that when a predetermined start requirement is satisfied, the game mode is set to a RT operation state (specific action) in which the probability that a re-gamer is won by the combination lottery means is set to a higher value than a normal game. After changing to the RT operation state (specific game state) and changing to the RT operation state (specific game state), a control process is performed to release the RT operation state (specific game state) when a predetermined release requirement is satisfied. In the RT operation state (specific game state), not only when the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than that of the normal game but also the same as the normal game or lower than that of the normal game.

FIG.

<Description of main routine>
First, the control process of the main routine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In this main routine, a control process when a game is performed once, in which one step from when a player inserts a game medium until a plurality of reels displaying a plurality of symbols is rotated and stopped is performed once. Indicates.
First, it is determined whether or not the value of the parameter NRP is greater than 0 (step S10). Here, the NRP is a parameter that determines whether or not to replay, and is set so that replay is performed when it is larger than 0, and replay is not performed when it is 0 or less. Further, as shown in step S656 of FIG. 14, when a re-game player is won in the winning lottery and the symbol corresponding to the winning player stops and wins, 1 is input as the value of NRP. .

If it is determined in step S10 that the value of NRP is 0 or less (NO), it is determined that no replay is performed, and then it is determined whether or not a game medium is inserted (step S10). S12). If it is determined in this determination that a game medium has been inserted (YES), the process proceeds to step S18, and the inserted number counted by the game medium counter installed below the game medium insertion port 38 is detected as a bet number. To do. However, when the number of game media exceeding the specified number (three in this embodiment) is inserted, the game media exceeding the specified number is stored in the RAM 110 as the number of credits.
If it is determined in step S12 that no game medium is inserted (NO), it is next determined whether or not there is a credited game medium (step S14). If it is determined in this determination that there is no credited game medium (NO), the process returns to step S12 again, and the determination processes in steps S12 and S14 are repeatedly executed.

  If it is determined in step S14 that there is a credited game medium (YES), it is next determined whether or not a bet operation signal has been received (step S16). This bet operation signal is transmitted when the player operates any one of the bet switches 32, 34 and 36. If it is determined in this determination that the bet operation signal has not been received (NO), the process returns to step S12 again, and the determination processing from step S12 to step S16 is repeatedly executed. If it is determined in step S16 that a bet signal has been received (YES), the number of bets is detected from the received bet operation signal (step S18). In either case of inserting a game medium or using a credited game medium, the detected bet number is stored in the RAM 110 as a new bet number, and when using a credited game medium, A process of subtracting the number of credits of the game medium by the number of detected bets is performed (step S20). Then, the process proceeds to a role lottery process subroutine (step S24).

  If it is determined in step S10 that the value of NRP is larger than 0 (YES) and it is determined that the player is in the replaying state, 0 is input to the value of NRP to cancel the replaying state (step S22). A re-game control process is performed in which the process from S12 to step S20 is not performed, and the process proceeds to a combination lottery process subroutine (step S24). That is, when it is determined that the game is in the re-gaming state, the game can be performed without newly inserting a game medium or consuming the credited game medium. In this embodiment, the bet number in the re-game is controlled so as to set the same bet number as the bet in the previous game. However, a bet number different from the bet number in the previous game is set. It is also possible to perform control.

In the combination lottery processing subroutine of step S24, combination lottery is performed by the combination lottery means 410, and flag-on processing for turning on the SRB flag, the BB flag, the replay flag, and the general combination flag is performed according to the winning combination. . Details of this subroutine will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
Subsequent to the combination lottery processing subroutine (step S24), based on the result of the combination lottery, the reel variation and stop subroutine (step S26) performs control processing relating to the movement of the reels that are stopped after the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R are rotated. ) Is performed. This reel fluctuation / stop subroutine is performed by the reel control means 440, and details of this subroutine will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

Next, after the reels are stopped by the reel change and stop subroutine, a winning symbol determination is performed, and a flag-off process is performed based on the determination result, and an RT operation state (specific game state) is set. A winning determination / flag-off process subroutine (step S28) for performing the RT setting process is performed. Details of this subroutine will be described later with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
Then, a payout process (step S30) for paying out a predetermined number of game media corresponding to the winning game based on the winning lottery and winning symbol determination is performed. In the payout process, it is possible to actually pay out the game media from the game media payout outlet 62, or to credit a predetermined number of game media instead of paying out.
Next, game state information is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S32), and one game is completed by the above control processing. By repeating the control process shown in this main routine, the player can play a plurality of times.

<Description of the game state flow>
Next, an outline of the flow of the gaming state that proceeds by the control processing shown below will be described using the schematic diagram of FIG.
In the present embodiment, only in the initial state when the power is turned on for the first time, the winning combination probability of the re-playing role is low and the non-RT state is displayed.
In this embodiment, except for the initial state, this RT1 operation state is a normal gaming state, and the winning probability of the re-gamer is low (total winning probability of the re-gamer: 1 / 7.3, (See FIG. 27). After the transition from the initial state to the RT1 operating state, the game is executed in any gaming state of the RT1 to RT8 operating states. In the game state inside the BB with the BB flag turned on, the RT5 operation state is entered. When the BB game is started, the state shifts to the RT6 operation state, and when the SRB flag is turned on during the BB game, the RT7 operation is carried out. When the SRB game is started, the RT8 operation state is set. However, even if the BB game is ended, the RT6 to 8 operating state being continued is continued.

In the RT1 operating state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is low (total winning probability 1 / 7.3, see FIG. 27). In the RT1 to RT4 operating states performed when the BB is not operating, the RT1 operating state is the gaming state that is the most disadvantageous for the player, and the RT4 operating state is the gaming state that is most advantageous for the player. Therefore, the player can play the game so that the RT1 operation state shifts to the RT4 operation state via RT2 and RT3, thereby giving the player a game fun.
In RT1 operation state, winning combination RP1 which is one of the re-game players in winning combination lottery is won, reel stopping operation is performed in the correct pressing order (reel stop operation order), and the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are displayed. If it is, the RT1 operating state shifts to the RT2 operating state. Further, when the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are not displayed without performing the reel stop operation in the correct pressing order, the RT1 operation state is maintained.

In the RT2 operating state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is high (total winning probability is about 1 / 1.38, see FIG. 28). In the RT2 operating state, if the symbol corresponding to the correct pressing order is not displayed without performing the reel stop operation in the correct pressing order without winning the reel stop operation in the correct pressing order by winning the pressing order RP2 role that is one of the re-games in the winning lottery , Transition from RT2 operating state to RT1 operating state (fall down). Further, when the reel stop operation is performed in the correct pressing order and the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are displayed, the RT2 operation state is maintained.
In the RT2 operating state, when the symbol corresponding to the special RP combination is displayed in the winning lottery, the RT2 operating state is shifted to the RT3 operating state.

In the RT3 operating state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is high (the total winning probability is about 1 / 1.37, see FIG. 29). In the RT3 operating state, when the winning order RP4 role, which is one of the re-playing roles, is won in the winning lottery, and the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are not displayed without performing the reel stop operation in the correct pressing order. Shifts from the RT3 operating state to the RT2 operating state. Further, when the reel stop operation is performed in the correct pressing order and the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are displayed, the RT3 operating state is maintained.
In the RT3 operating state, if a symbol corresponding to the correct pressing order is displayed by winning the reeling operation RP3 which is one of the re-games in the winning lottery and performing the reel stop operation in the correct pressing order , Transition from the RT3 operating state to the RT4 operating state. Further, when the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are not displayed without performing the reel stop operation in the correct pressing order, the RT3 operation state is maintained.

In the RT4 operating state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is high (total winning probability is about 1 / 1.76, see FIG. 30), and as described later, a notification effect (AT) for notifying the correct pushing order is provided. Can be implemented.
In the RT4 operating state, if the symbol corresponding to the correct pressing order is not displayed without performing the reel stop operation in the correct pressing order without winning the reel stopping operation in the correct pressing order by winning the pressing order RP4 combination which is one of the re-game players in the winning combination lottery , Transition from the RT4 operating state to the RT2 operating state. Further, when the reel stop operation is performed in the correct pressing order and the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are displayed, the RT4 operating state is maintained.
Further, in the RT2-4 operating state, when the spilled portion of the general combination 2 (bell) is displayed, the state shifts (falls) to the RT1 operating state.
In the RT3, 4 operation state, a notification effect (AT) useful for displaying a symbol advantageous to the player by the reel stop operation can also be performed. Therefore, the RT3, 4 operation state is advantageous to the player. A gaming state.

  Next, in a game in which the RT1 to RT4 operation states, if the BB combination is won in the combination lottery and the BB flag is turned on, the state shifts to the RT5 operation state corresponding to the inside of the BB. In the RT5 operating state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set intermediately (the total winning probability is about 1 / 3.26, see FIG. 31). In the RT5 operating state, when a symbol corresponding to the BB combination is displayed and a prize is won, the state shifts to the RT6 operating state that operates when the BB game starts.

In the RT6 operating state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is low (total winning probability is about 1 / 7.3, see FIG. 32). In the RT6 operation state during BB game, when the SRB combination is won in the combination lottery and the SRB flag is turned on, the state shifts to the RT7 operation state corresponding to the inside of the SRB.
In the RT7 operating state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is high (total winning probability is about 1 / 1.35, see FIG. 33). Further, when the symbol corresponding to the SRB combination is displayed and winning in the RT7 operating state, the state shifts to the RT8 operating state that operates when the SRB game starts. In the RT8 operating state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is low (the total winning probability is about 1 / 1.7.3, see FIG. 34).
In the RT8 operation state, the winning probability of the SRB role in the role lottery is high (1 / 1.7), and if the SRB role is won again in the role lottery and the SRB flag is turned on, the inside of the SRB Transition to the corresponding RT7 operating state. Even if the SRB game ends, the RT8 operating state is continued as it is.
Although not shown, in the non-RT state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is low (for example, the winning probability is 1 / 7.3).

Further, when the BB game is ended in any of the RT6 to 8 operating states during the BB game, the RT6 to 8 operating state being continued is continued as it is.
That is, even if the RT operation state (specific game state) is executed during the BB game and the BB game is ended while the RT operation state (specific game state) is being executed, the RT operation state (specific (Game state) is continued. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when the RT operation state (specific game state) is being executed and the game is ended, the RT operation state (specific game state) being executed is continued, so that it is started at the start of the BB game. When the special effect continues after the end of the BB, the player can be given a stronger impression that the winning game continues until the special effect ends.

  When the BB game is finished and the BB is not activated in the RT6 operating state, the winning order RP1 winning combination is won in the winning lottery, and the reel stop operation is performed in the correct pressing order, and the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are displayed. If it is, the RT6 operating state shifts to the RT2 operating state. Further, in the RT6 operating state, if the winning order RP5 winning combination is won in the winning lottery and the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are not displayed without performing the reel stop operation in the correct pressing order, the RT2 from the RT6 operating state to the RT2 Transition to the operating state.

In the RT6 operating state, if the winning order RP5 winning combination is won in the winning lottery, the reel stop operation is performed in the correct pressing order, and the symbol corresponding to the correct pressing order is displayed, the RT6 operating state is shifted to the RT4 operating state. To do.
In the RT6 operation state, when the spilled portion of the general role 2 (bell) is displayed, the RT6 operation state is shifted (falls) from the RT6 operation state.
In the RT6 operation state, when the symbol corresponding to the special RP combination is displayed in the combination lottery, the RT6 operation state is shifted to the RT3 operation state.

  When the BB game is completed and the BB is not activated in the RT7 operation state, the winning order RP1 combination is won by the combination lottery, and the reel stop operation is performed in the correct pressing order, and the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are displayed. If it is, the RT7 operating state shifts to the RT2 operating state. In the RT7 operating state, if the winning order RP5 combination is won in the winning lottery, and the symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order are not displayed without performing the reel stop operation in the correct pressing order, the RT2 from the RT7 operating state to the RT2 Transition to the operating state.

In the RT7 operating state, if the winning order RP5 role is won in the winning lottery, and the reel stop operation is performed in the correct pressing order and the symbol corresponding to the correct pressing order is displayed, the RT7 operating state transitions to the RT4 operating state To do.
In the RT7 operation state, when the spilled portion of the general combination 2 (bell) is displayed, the RT7 operation state is shifted (falls) from the RT7 operation state.
In the RT7 operation state, when the symbol corresponding to the special RP combination is displayed in the combination lottery, the RT7 operation state is shifted to the RT3 operation state.
That is, in the RT6 operating state and the RT7 operating state when the BB is not operated, the RT1 to 4 operating states are shifted in the same manner.

  When the BB game is terminated in the RT8 operating state and the BB inoperable state is displayed, if a spill of the general role 2 (bell) is displayed, the RT8 operating state is shifted (falls) to the RT1 operating state. It is like that. In the RT8 operating state, there is no transition to the RT2-4 operating state, which is more advantageous than RT1.

  Therefore, the RT7 operation state has a high probability of winning a re-gamer and can be transferred to an advantageous RT operation state, and the RT8 operation state has only a low RT game operation state with a low probability of winning a re-gamer. Cannot migrate. Therefore, if the player wins the SRB role in the role lottery during the BB game, not displaying the symbol corresponding to the SRB role and ending the BB game advances the game in an advantageous state. be able to.

  In addition, when the BB role is won in the operating state of RT2, 3, 4 which is advantageous for the player, a special BB effect is performed by the sub-control circuit 200, and a privilege for adding the number of times of the notification effect (AT) is added. The given control process is performed. On the other hand, when the BB combination is won in other gaming states, the sub-control circuit 200 performs a normal BB effect and does not perform a control process for adding the number of times of the notification effect (AT). .

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of a game in which a notification effect (AT) is being performed, if the BB role is won, a game in which a special BB effect is performed and the notification effect (AT) is not performed. When the BB combination is won, the normal BB effect can be performed. Furthermore, it is also possible to determine whether the special BB effect is performed or the normal BB effect is performed by using two elements, that is, whether the RT operation state is set and whether the notification effect (AT) is being performed. .

  As described above, there is an SRB game (second winning game) corresponding to an SRB role (second winning game) that can be executed in the BB game (winning game). When the corresponding symbol is displayed in the reel stop control based on the reel stop operation in a state where the corresponding SRB flag (second hit flag) is set, the SRB game (second win game) In the RT7 operation state (specific game state) executed when the flag corresponding to the SRB combination (second winning combination) is set, the winning probability of the re-game combination in the combination lottery is high (about 1 /1.35) and can be transferred to other RT operating states (for example, RT3, 4 operating states) with a high probability of winning a re-gamer in the role lottery, and other RT operating states after the end of the BB game (winning game) (Specific play It can be controlled so as to shift the state).

  Therefore, this RT7 operating state (specific game state) is a game state that is very advantageous for the player, and the player plays the SRB role (second winning combination) in the BB game (winning game) role lottery. When winning the game, it tries to maintain the flag set corresponding to the SRB combination (second winning combination), so that it gives the player a game of fun and makes the player interested in the game. You can expect to increase and sustain it.

Each control process for realizing the above-described game flow will be described below along the flow of the main subroutine.
<Role lottery processing subroutine>
Next, the role lottery processing subroutine performed in step S24 of the main routine will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, it is determined whether a start switch ON signal has been received (step S40). The start switch ON signal is a signal transmitted by the operation means 300 when the player operates the start switch 50. Based on this signal, the reel control means 440 performs control for starting the rotation of the reel. Perform (see step S164 in FIG. 7).

If it is determined in this determination that the start switch ON signal has not been received (NO), the determination process in step S40 is repeated. In other words, the player waits for the game to start until the player operates the start switch 50.
If it is determined in step S40 that the start switch ON signal has been received (YES), a game start signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S42), and the process proceeds to step S44. Here, the game start signal transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 in step S42 is used in the control process shown in FIGS. 17, 18, 19, 21, 24, and the like.

Next, in step S44, one of the RT1-RT8 operating general lottery tables corresponding to the value of the parameter NRT (= 1-8) is read (step S44), and the process proceeds to step S46. As a general lottery table at the time of RT1 to RT8 operation, FIG. 26 shows a common lottery table of common setting roles at the time of RT1 to RT8 operation, and FIG. 27 to FIG. .
Although not shown, in a non-RT state when the power is turned on, a lottery table for non-RT (not shown) is read from the ROM 108 and a lottery process is performed. As described above, in the non-RT lottery table, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set low (for example, 1 / 7.3).
In the combination lottery table of common setting combinations at the time of operating RT1 to RT8 shown in FIG. 26, general combination 1 (cherry), general combination 2 (non-pressing order bell and pressing order bell), and general combination 3 are set. The winning probabilities corresponding to the set values 1 to 6 are shown. For example, in the setting 4, the winning probability of the general combination 1 (cherry) is 1 / 71.4, the winning probability of the non-push order bell of the general combination 2 is 1 / 10244.0, and the pressing order of the general combination 2 The winning probability for Bell is 1 / 4.5, and the winning probability for general role 3 (watermelon) is 1 / 79.7. That is, in the common setting combination, the winning probability of the push order bell is set to be relatively high. In this embodiment, the probability of the common set combination is common in all states (RT1 to RT8), but the probability may be varied depending on the state. However, it is preferable to set a probability of approximation in any state.

There are a displayed push order RP2 group and a push order RP2 group right in which a symbol corresponding to the correct push order is displayed when a reel stop operation of the right reel is first performed. It is 18. That is, the combined winning probability of the pressing order RP2 is 1/6. As described above, in the RT2 operating state, since the normal RP winning probability is high, the total winning probability of the re-gamer at RT2 operating is about 1 / 1.8 (1 / 1.8 + 1 / 2048.0). Is getting higher.
Note that, for all pushing orders RP, whether the reel stop order (pushing order) is correct or incorrect, some combination of RPs is displayed and replay is performed in the next game.

The total winning probability of the re-gamer in the RT5 operating state is about 1 / 3.26 (1 / 4.1 + 2/32). As described above, in the RT5 operating state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is It is moderate. Note that the BB combination is not set in the combination lottery table during RT5-8 operation corresponding to the inside of the BB and during the execution of the BB game.

FIG. 32 shows a combination lottery table of individually set combinations at the time of RT6 operation corresponding to the normal game during the BB game. In this combination lottery table, a special RP that is one of the re-game combinations, a pressing order RP1, a pressing order RP5, and an SRB combination are set.

FIG. 34 shows a combination lottery table of individual setting combinations at the time of RT8 operation corresponding to the SRB game during the BB game. In this combination lottery table, a normal RP that is one of the re-playing combinations and an SRB combination are set.
More specifically, the winning probability of normal RP is set to 1 / 7.3 in all set values. In addition, the winning probability of the SRB combination is set as high as 1 / 1.7 in all set values. The total winning probability of the re-gamer in the RT7 operating state (normal RP win probability) is 1 / 7.3, and the win probability of the re-gamer is low.

The combinations of symbols corresponding to each condition device when RT1 to RT8 are operated are shown in FIGS. 37 and 38, and the combinations of symbols corresponding to the general roles 1 to 4 are shown in FIG. The combination of symbols corresponding to the combination is shown in FIG.
In the combination lottery tables of FIGS. 26 to 34, the name of the condition device corresponding to each combination of the common setting combination and the individual setting combination at the time of operating RT1 to RT8 is also described. FIG. 37 to FIG. 39 show information on the transition / maintenance of the gaming state when the combination or symbol combination is displayed (see remarks) and the gaming state (RT1 to RT8) in which each condition device is set. Yes.
In the reel symbol arrangement of FIG. 36 and the tables of FIGS. 37 to 39, for example, No. 0 and No. In FIG. 13, symbols of replay 1 and replay 2 are shown. Although both symbols are different symbols, since at least a part of the appearance, color, and shape is common, the player can recognize that the symbols are compatible with replaying. Similarly, as a symbol indicating the general role 2 (bell), for example, No. 14 and no. 18 shows the design of bell 1 and bell 2. Although both symbols are different symbols, since at least a part of the appearance, color, and shape is common, the player can recognize that both symbols are symbols corresponding to the general role 2 (bell). As another design, for example, No. 17 with red 7, no. 4 to white 7, no. 19 with a bar, no. 11 is a white bar. 12 cherry, no. 20 shows a design showing a watermelon.

  The right column of FIGS. 37 and 38 shows which condition device is set in the non-RT and each RT operating state. Here, when a circle is attached, it indicates that the condition device is set as a lottery target. For example, in the re-game-ABCDF of the condition device number 2, it indicates that it is set at RT1, 5, 6, 7.

37 and 38 show a recombination combination symbol combination table among condition devices that cannot be carried over, and FIG. 39 shows general combinations 1 to 4 (bell, cherry, FIG. 40 shows a symbol combination table of a BB combination and an SRB combination which are condition devices that can be carried over.
The description of the replay game combination push order RP and the general combination push order bell will be described taking the push order RP1 group (321 correct answer) of the condition device 3 of FIG. 37 as an example.
The numeral 3 indicates the left reel, 2 indicates the middle reel, and 1 indicates the right reel. Therefore, in the pushing order RP1 group (321 correct answer), when the reel stop operation is performed in the pushing order of the right, middle and left reels, the symbols corresponding to the correct answer are displayed, and the right, middle and left reels are pushed in the pushing order. When the reel stop operation is not performed, the symbol corresponding to the correct answer is not displayed.
In the push order RP, the transition and maintenance of the game state is determined depending on whether or not the reel stop operation is performed in the correct push order. In the push order bell, many games are determined depending on whether or not the reel stop operation is performed in the correct push order. It is determined whether or not the medium can be paid out.

  If the reels are operated in the correct push order when winning the push order bell in the role lottery, as shown in the lottery table shown in FIG. 35, as shown in the lottery table shown in FIG. Any combination of symbols is displayed and there is a payout of 13 game media indicated by PAY1. on the other hand. If the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct pushing order, the combination of symbols of either the bell D or E of the condition device (when incorrect) is displayed, and the payout of the three game media indicated by PAY2 is made. is there.

Specific symbol combinations for each condition device such as the bells A, B, and C of the condition device 1 and the bells D and E of the condition device 2 are shown in the symbol combination column of FIGS.
For example, in the case of the re-gamer (ABCDEG) of the condition device number 4 in FIG. It has come to be. If it is a replay player (replay) B, either the red 7 or bell 1 on the left reel, the bar, red 7, white 7 or watermelon on the middle reel will be on the right reel, or cherry on the right reel. Is displayed. In the case of a replaying player (replay) C, either white 7 or watermelon is displayed on the left reel, replay 1 or replay 2 is displayed on the middle reel, and cherry is displayed on the right reel.
For Replay D (replay) D, either the red 7 or bell 1 on the left reel, the replay 1 or replay 2 on the middle reel, the bar, red 7, white 7 or watermelon on the right reel Any one of the four symbols is displayed. In the case of a replaying player (replay) E, replay 1 is displayed on the left reel, either replay 1 or replay 2 is displayed on the middle reel, and either bell 1 or bell 2 is displayed on the right reel. Yes.

As described above, after the combination lottery table corresponding to each RT operation state is read out, the combination lottery for acquiring the random number and performing the lottery determination is performed (step S46). Specifically, the random number generated by the random number generator 112 is extracted by the random number extraction means 420, and the random number determination means 430 compares the extracted random number with the read lottery table and determines the winning.
Next, as a result of the lottery determination, it is determined whether or not the SRB combination has been won (step S48). If it is determined in this determination that the SRB combination has been won (YES), the SRB flag is turned on (step S50). Here, the “flag” is a value (indicator) indicating a data state or a calculation state of the CPU 106. Next, 7 is input to the value of NRT to set the RT7 operating state (step S52), and the process proceeds to step S72.

  If it is determined in step S48 that the SRB combination is not won (NO), it is next determined whether or not the BB combination is won (step S54). If it is determined in this determination that the BB combination is won (YES), the BB flag is turned on (step S56). Next, 5 is input to the value of NRT to set the RT5 operating state (step S58), and the process proceeds to step S72.

If it is determined in step S54 that the BB combination is not won (NO), it is next determined whether or not the re-game combination is won (step S60). If it is determined in this determination that the re-game combination is won by the combination lottery (YES), the re-play flag is turned on and stored in the RAM 110 (step S62), and the process proceeds to step S72.
If it is determined in step S60 that the re-playing combination is not won (NO), it is next determined whether or not the general combination is won (step S64). In this determination, if it is determined that the general combination is won by the combination lottery (YES), the general combination flag is turned on and stored in the RAM 110 (step S66), and then whether or not the push order bell is won is determined. (Step S68).

  If it is determined in this determination that the push order bell has been won (YES), a push order bell win signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S70), and the process proceeds to step S72. In the control process of the sub-control circuit 200, it is also possible to determine whether or not the winning of the push order bell is possible by using the combination lottery information signal (see step S74 in FIG. 6) instead of the push order bell winning signal.

If it is determined in step S64 that the general combination is not won (NO), the lottery determination result is determined to be out of order, and a predetermined control process at the time of out is performed, and the process proceeds to step S72. move on.
After performing a series of processing related to flag-on as described above, in step 72, the symbol number and control symbol data corresponding to the winning combination in the winning lottery are read from the ROM 108 and used for the reel fluctuation and stop subroutine described later. This data is stored in the RAM 110 (step S72), and the process proceeds to step S74.
In step S74, a role lottery information signal including information on the condition device number indicating the result of the role lottery is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S74), and this subroutine is terminated. The combination lottery information signal transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 in step S74 can be used to determine whether or not the push order bell or push order RP can be won. As described above, the push-bell winning signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 at the time of the push-bell winning (see step S68), but this role lottery information signal is applied instead of the push-bell winning signal. You can also.

<Explanation of reel fluctuation / stop subroutine>
Next, in the main routine of FIG. 5, when the above-described combination lottery processing subroutine (step S24) is completed, a reel fluctuation and stop subroutine (step S26) is then performed. The reel fluctuation / stop subroutine will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, the symbol number and control symbol data stored in step S72 of FIG. 6 are read (step S160). Next, it is determined whether or not a predetermined minimum game time has elapsed (step S162). If it is determined in this determination that the shortest game time has not elapsed (NO), the determination process in step S162 is repeatedly executed. That is, as described above, the rotation of the reel, which is the next process, cannot be started until the shortest game time has elapsed. By this control, the number of games played in a certain time is controlled to be within a predetermined number.

If it is determined in step S162 that the shortest game time has elapsed (YES), the start switch ON signal has already been received (see step S40 in FIG. 6), and the reel rotation start signal is driven by the motor. Transmission to the circuit 114 starts rotation of the motors 80L, 80C, 80R, and rotates the reels 40L, 40C, 40R (step S164).
Next, it is determined whether or not the reel that has started rotating is at a constant speed (step S166). If it is determined in this determination that the rotation of the reel has not yet reached a constant speed (NO), the determination processing in step S166 is repeated. That is, the reel stop control, which is the next step, cannot be performed until the rotation of the reel reaches a constant speed.

If it is determined in step S166 that the reel is rotating at a constant speed (YES), it is next determined whether a reel stop signal has been received (step S168). Here, the reel stop signal is a signal transmitted by the operation means 300 when the player pushes any one of the stop switches 52L, 52C, 52R.
If it is determined in step S168 that the reel stop signal has been received (YES), the reel control means 440 performs the symbol combination control (stop control) of the reel corresponding to the stop switch that has transmitted the reel stop signal. (Step S170).

  Here, the control processing in steps S168 and S170 will be described in more detail. When the stop switch 52L for the left reel is pushed, the reel control means 440 uses the motor 80L that rotates the left reel 40L. Stop control of step S170 is performed. Similarly, when the stop switch 52C for the middle reel is pushed, the stop control in step S170 is performed for the motor 80C that rotates the middle reel 40C, and the stop switch 52R for the right reel is pushed. In this case, the stop control in step S170 is performed for the motor 80R that rotates the right reel 40R.

  In the symbol combination control (stop control) in step S170, based on the symbol number and control symbol data read in step S160, the frame when the reel stop signal is received is the first frame, and the reels are slid up to the fifth frame. Within that range, symbol combination control (pull-in control) for stopping a predetermined symbol on the effective line, or symbol combination control (kicking control) that does not stop the symbol is performed.

Here, FIG. 36 shows an example of reel symbol arrangement. With regard to the re-game player, the symbols corresponding to each condition device are shown in FIGS. Regarding the pressing order RP, when the reel stopping operation is performed in the correct reel stopping order (pressing order), the reels are stopped so that combinations of symbols corresponding to the correct pressing order as shown in FIGS. 37 and 38 are displayed. Control is made.
In addition, as for the push order bell of the general combination 2, a combination of symbols as shown in FIG. 39 is displayed. However, when the reel stop operation is performed in the correct reel stop order (push order) shown in FIG. A combination with a payout of 13 game media is displayed. If the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order), a combination with a payout of 3 game media is displayed.
Further, as will be described later, there may be a notification effect (AT) for notifying the correct reel stop order (push order) of the push order bell (see FIG. 24). Therefore, if the correct reel stop order according to the combination of combinations can be notified by the notification effect (AT), the player can surely receive payout of 13 game media, and the player's game It can be expected that interest in will increase.

However, in the state where the SRB flag is turned on, that is, in the game at the time of RT7 operation, even if the reel stop operation is performed in an arbitrary reel stop order (push order), it is always displayed on a plurality of valid lines. Thus, the reel stop control is performed. Therefore, in the game when the RT7 is activated, 13 game media are always paid out when the push order bell is won in the role lottery. However, by performing the above-described notification effect (AT) in the same manner, it is possible to show the player that the reel stop order (push order) is correct and that 13 payouts have been made. Therefore, it is possible to give a game fun to the player.

In the present embodiment, in a BB game (win game), when a winning order bell (specific role) is won in a role lottery, a corresponding symbol is displayed in a mode in which the number of game media to be paid out is large (13). And the corresponding symbol may be displayed in a mode in which the number of paid out game media is small (three), and the RT7 operating state (specification) that is performed when the flag corresponding to the second winning combination is set In the gaming state), when a winning bell combination (a specific combination) is won in the combination lottery, a reel stop control is performed in which a corresponding symbol is displayed in a manner in which the number of paid out game media is always large in any reel stop operation. It is supposed to be. It is possible.
Therefore, in this case, since the special effect can be continued after the end of the BB game (win game), more game media are hit than the actual number of game media acquired in the BB game (win game). Since it is possible to give the player an impression that the game has been acquired, it is expected that the player's interest in the game will be raised and maintained.

Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. 7 again, if it is determined in step S168 that the reel stop signal has not been received (NO), the control proceeds to step S172 without performing control related to the stop. In step S172, it is determined whether all reels have stopped (step S172).
If it is determined in this determination that all reels are not stopped (NO), the process returns to step S168 again, and the control processing from step S168 to step S172 is repeated. As described above, every time the reel stop signal is received, the process of performing symbol combination control (stop control) of the corresponding reels is repeated until all reels stop.

  If it is determined in step S172 that all reels are stopped (YES), an all reel stop signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S173), and this subroutine is terminated. Here, the all-reel stop signal transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 in step S173 is used in the control processing shown in FIGS. 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, and the like.

<Explanation of Winning Determination and Flag Off Processing Subroutine>
In the main routine of FIG. 5, when the reel fluctuation and stop subroutine (step S26) is completed, a winning determination and flag-off process subroutine (step 28) is performed. The winning determination and flag off processing subroutine will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, it is determined whether or not the game state is an SRB game (step S200). If it is determined in this determination that the SRB game is being played (YES), an SRB game processing subroutine (step S202) is performed, and the process proceeds to step S212. A detailed description of the SRB game processing subroutine will be described later.
If it is determined in step S200 that the game state is not SRB game (NO), it is next determined whether or not the game state is BB game (step S204). If it is determined in this determination that the BB game is being played (YES), the BB game in-process subroutine (step S206) is performed, and the process proceeds to step S212. A detailed description of the BB game processing subroutine will be described later.
If it is determined in step S204 that the game state is not BB game (NO), it is next determined whether or not there is a winning combination (step S208). If it is determined in this determination that there is a winning combination (YES), a winning combination processing subroutine (step S210) is performed, and the process proceeds to step S212. A detailed description of the winning combination processing subroutine will be described later. If it is determined in step S208 that there is no winning combination (NO), the process proceeds to step S212.

In step S212, stop reel display symbol information obtained by the winning symbol determination process is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S212), and this subroutine is terminated. Here, the display symbol information signal transmitted to the sub control circuit 200 in step S212 is used for control processing and determination processing related to the display symbol of the sub control circuit 200.
Hereinafter, a detailed description of the subroutine shown in steps S202, S206, and S210 will be given.

<Description of SRB game processing subroutine>
Next, FIG. 9 shows a detailed explanation of the SRB in-game processing subroutine (see step S202) executed when it is determined in step S200 that the SRB game is in progress in the winning determination and flag-off processing subroutine (see FIG. 8). This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown.
First, it is determined whether or not a reel symbol stopped by the reel fluctuation and stop subroutine described above has won a prize (step S300). Next, the game count and the winning count are counted, the game count and winning count data are updated, and the updated data is stored in the RAM 110 (step S302). These data are used as conditions for ending the SRB game. When the number of games or the number of winnings reaches a predetermined number, the SRB game is ended. In particular, in the present embodiment, the game ends with two games or two winnings.

Next, the payout number is counted to update the payout number data, and the updated data is stored in the RAM 110 (step S304). This data is used as a BB game end condition. When the payout number reaches a predetermined number, the BB game is ended.
Next, it is determined whether or not the BB game end condition is achieved (step S306). If it is determined in this determination that the BB game end condition has been achieved (YES), 0 is input to the values of NBB and NSRB to cancel the RB game state and the BB game state (step S308). ), The process proceeds to step S314.
If it is determined in step S306 that the BB end condition is not achieved (NO), it is next determined whether or not the SRB end condition is achieved (step S310). If it is determined in this determination that the SRB termination condition has been achieved (YES), 0 is input to the value of NSRB to cancel the SRB gaming state (step S312), and this subroutine is terminated. If it is determined in step S310 that the SRB termination condition has not been achieved (NO), the SRB gaming state is not released and the process proceeds to step S314.
In step S314, control processing is performed so as to continue the value of NRT as it is (step S314), and this subroutine is terminated. That is, in the present embodiment, the control process is performed so that the RT operation state that has been performed is continued as it is regardless of whether the BB game is ended or the SRB game is ended.

<Description of processing subroutine during BB game>
Next, FIG. 10 shows a detailed explanation of the BB game processing subroutine (see step S206) executed when it is determined that the BB game is being played in step S204 in the winning determination and flag off processing subroutine (see FIG. 8). This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown.
First, it is determined whether or not the reel symbol stopped by the above-described reel fluctuation and stop subroutine has won a prize (step S400), and then, as a result of the winning symbol determination, it is determined whether or not any combination has won. (Step S402). In this determination, if it is determined that there is no winning (NO), if the general combination flag is on, the flag is turned off (step S404), and the process proceeds to step S410.

If it is determined in step S402 that there is a winning (YES), the payout number is counted, the payout number data is updated, and the updated data is stored in the RAM 110 (step S406). Then, the general combination flag is turned off (step S408), and the process proceeds to step S410. This data is used as a BB game end condition. When the payout number exceeds the end number, the BB game is ended. In addition, as an end number of sheets which becomes the end condition of BB game, 103 sheets can be illustrated, but it is not limited to this.
If the number of finishes is 103, the winning order will be won in the winning lottery, and if the corresponding symbols are always displayed on a plurality of active lines and the payout of 13 game media matches, 8 times Since the winning of 13 × 8 = 104 payouts, the BB game ends.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the BB game end condition has been achieved (step S410). If it is determined in this determination that the BB game end condition has not been achieved (NO), this subroutine is ended as it is. If it is determined in step S410 that the BB game end condition has been achieved (YES), 0 is input to the value of NBB to release the BB game state (step S412). Next, control processing is performed so as to continue the value of NRT as it is (step S414), and this subroutine is terminated. That is, in this embodiment, even if the BB game is finished, the control process is performed so that the RT operation state that has been performed is continued as it is.

  As described above, even if the RT operation state (specific game state) is being executed during the BB game and the BB game is ended while the RT operation state (specific game state) is being executed, the RT operation being executed The state (specific game state) is continued. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when the RT operation state (specific game state) is being executed and the game is ended, the RT operation state (specific game state) being executed is continued, so that it is started at the start of the BB game. When the special effect continues after the end of the BB, the player can be given a stronger impression that the winning game continues until the special effect ends.

  Further, the BB game end requirement in the present embodiment is that the cumulative number of game media acquired in the BB game exceeds 103. Among the general roles 1 to 3 in which a game medium is paid out at the time of winning a prize, a role having a high winning probability of the role lottery is a push order bell (probability 1 / 4.5). Therefore, after starting the BB game, if the winning lottery is followed by the push order bell, and if there are 13 payouts with a large payout number, 8 times × 13 = 104, which exceeds 103 BB game ends. Therefore, as will be described later, by notifying the player of the correct reel stop order (pushing order) by the notification effect (AT), when the winning order win is won in the lottery drawing, 13 game media are always paid out. Can be expected.

  Further, as will be described later, the special effect is started at the start of the BB, and the end requirement for this special effect is that the number of wins of the push order bell in the role lottery after the start of the BB game reaches ten times. As described above, the BB game may end when the number of push order bell wins in the winning lottery after the start of the BB game is 8 times. In this case, the special performance is continued even after the BB game ends. become.

In other words, in the BB game (winning game), if the corresponding symbol is always displayed in a manner in which the number of game media to be paid out is large when winning the push order bell (specific role) in the role lottery, the special production end requirement It is conceivable that the BB game (winning game) end requirement is reached before reaching.
Therefore, it is possible to give the player an impression that more game media can be won by winning the game than the number of actual game media acquired in the BB game (winning game). You can expect to increase and sustain it.

<Explanation of the processing sub-routine for winning the role>
Next, in the winning determination and flag off processing subroutine (see FIG. 8), the detailed explanation of the winning combination processing subroutine (see step S210) executed when it is determined in step S208 that there is a winning combination is shown in the flowchart of FIG. Will be described.
First, it is determined whether or not a reel symbol stopped by the above-described reel fluctuation and stop subroutine has won a prize (step S500). As a result of the winning symbol determination, it is determined whether or not any winning combination has been won (step S500). S502). If it is determined in this determination that the winning is made (YES), it is next determined whether or not the winning combination has been won (step S504). If it is determined in this determination that the winning combination has won (YES), a winning combination winning subroutine is performed (step S506), and this subroutine is terminated. The winning prize winning subroutine will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.

  If it is determined in step S504 that the winning combination has not been won (NO), it is next determined whether or not the re-game is won (step S508). If it is determined in this determination that the re-gamer has won (YES), then a re-gamer win-time subroutine is performed (step S510), and this subroutine is terminated. The re-game winning prize subroutine will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS.

  If it is determined in step S508 that the re-playing combination is not won (NO), it is determined that the general combination has won, and the general combination flag whose flag is on is turned off, and BB, SRB If the flag is on, carry-over processing is performed (step S512), and this subroutine is terminated.

Returning to the determination of step S502, if it is determined that there is no winning (NO), then a spilled eye determination subroutine is performed (step S514), and the process proceeds to step S516. The spilled eye determination subroutine will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.
In step S516, it is determined whether the BB and SRB flags are on (step S516). In this determination, if it is determined that the BB and SRB flags are on (YES), carry-over processing of the flag is performed, and if the other flags (re-playing combination, general combination) are on, The flag is turned off (step S518), and this subroutine is terminated.
If it is determined in step S516 that the BB flag is not on (NO), the flag on flag (re-playing combination, general combination) is turned off (step S520), and this subroutine is executed. finish.

<Explanation of the winning prize winning subroutine>
Next, the winning prize winning subroutine shown in step S506 of the flowchart of FIG. 11 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 12, it is first determined whether or not the SRB combination has won (step S540). If it is determined by this determination that the SRB combination has won (YES), 1 is input to the value of NSRB (S542), and the SRB flag is turned off (step S544). Then, 8 is input as the value of NRT (step S546), and this subroutine is terminated.
In other words, when the SRB combination wins in the game at the time of RT7 operation inside the SRB flag, the state shifts from RT7 to RT8 operation state.

If it is determined in step S540 that the SRB combination has not won (NO), it is determined that the BB combination has won (step S548), and a BB start signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S540). S550). The BB start signal transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 in step S550 is used for control processing of the BB effect state setting subroutine (see FIG. 16). Next, 1 is input to the value of NBB (S552), and the BB flag is turned off. (Step S554). Then, 6 is input to the value of NRT (step S556), and this subroutine is terminated.
That is, when the BB combination wins in the game at the time of RT5 operation inside the BB, the state shifts from RT5 to RT6 operation state.

<Explanation of subroutine for winning re-playing role>
Next, the re-game role winning subroutine shown in step S510 of the flowchart of FIG. 11 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 13, first, it is determined whether or not the value of NRT is any one of 1, 6, and 7, that is, whether the RT1, 6, and 7 are in an operating state (step S600). In this determination, if it is determined that the value of NRT is not 1, 6, or 7 (NO), that is, it is not any of RT1, 6, and 7 operating states, the control processing of steps S602 to S606 is not performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S608 as it is.
If it is determined in step S600 that the NRT value is any one of 1, 6, and 7 (YES), that is, the RT1, 6, and 7 are in the operating state, the next lottery is performed. It is determined whether or not the reel stop operation is performed in the correct reel stop order (push order) by winning in the pressing order RP1 role (step S602).

If it is determined in this determination that the reel stop operation has been performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order) (YES), it is next determined whether or not a BB game is in progress (step S603). If it is determined by this determination that the BB game is being played (YES), the process proceeds to step S608. If it is determined in step S603 that the BB game is not being played (NO), next, 2 is input to the value of NRT (step S604), and the process proceeds to step S606. If it is determined in step S602 that the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order) (NO), the values 1, 6, and 7 already set as the NRT values are maintained. The control process is performed (step S606), and the process proceeds to step S608.
In other words, in any game of RT1, 6, 7 in the non-BB state, when the winning order RP1 winning combination is won in the winning lottery and the reel stopping operation is performed in the correct reel stopping order (pushing order), the next game When the operation is shifted to the RT2 operation state and the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order), the current RT1, 6, 7 operation state is maintained.

In step S608, it is determined whether or not the value of NRT is 2 or 7, that is, whether the RT2 or 7 operating state is in effect (step S608). In this determination, if it is determined that the value of NRT is neither 2 nor 7 (NO), that is, neither RT2 nor 7 is in an operating state, the control process of steps S610 to S614 is not performed and the process is directly performed. The process proceeds to S612.
If it is determined in step S608 that the value of NRT is either 2 or 7 (YES), that is, RT2 or 7 is in the operating state, next, in the winning lottery, the pressing order RP2 It is determined whether or not a reel stop operation has been performed in the correct reel stop order (push order) (step S610).

In this determination, if it is determined that the reel stop operation has been performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order) (YES), the values 2 and 7 already set as the NRT values are maintained. The control process is performed (step S612), and the process proceeds to step S616. If it is determined in step S610 that the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order) (NO), it is next determined whether or not the BB game is being performed (step S613). If it is determined that the BB game is being played (YES), the process proceeds to step S616 as it is. If it is determined in step S613 that the BB game is not being played (NO), next, 1 is input to the value of NRT (step S614), and the process proceeds to step S616.
In other words, in any game in the non-BB state RT2, 7 operating state, when the winning order RP2 winning combination is won in the winning lottery and the reel stopping operation is performed in the correct reel stopping order (pushing order), the current RT2, 7 When the operation state is maintained and the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct reel stop order (push order), the next game shifts to the RT1 operation state.

In step S616, it is determined whether or not the value of NRT is 3, that is, whether or not the RT3 is operating (step S616). If it is determined in this determination that the value of NRT is not 3 (NO), that is, it is not in the RT3 operating state, the process proceeds to step S624 as it is without performing the control processing of steps S618 to S622.
If it is determined in step S616 that the value of NRT is 3 (YES), that is, it is determined that the RT3 is in operation, the winning order RP3 winning combination is won in the winning lottery, and the correct reel stop order (pushing order) is selected. ), It is determined whether or not a reel stop operation has been performed (step S618).

If it is determined in this determination that the reel stop operation has been performed in the correct reel stop order (push order) (YES), then 4 is input to the value of NRT (step S620), and the process proceeds to step S624. . If it is determined in step S618 that the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order) (NO), then the value of 3 that has already been set as the NRT value is maintained. A control process is performed (step S622), and the process proceeds to step S624.
In other words, in a game in the RT3 operating state, when the winning order RP3 winning combination is won and the reel stop operation is performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order), the game shifts to the RT4 operating state from the next game, and the correct reel stop When the reel stop operation is not performed in order (pushing order), the current RT3 operating state is maintained.

In step S624, it is determined whether or not the value of NRT is either 3 or 4, that is, whether RT3 or 4 is in an operating state (step S624). If it is determined in this determination that the value of NRT is neither 3 nor 4 (NO), that is, neither RT3 nor 4 is in the operating state, the control processing of steps S626 to S630 is not performed and the next processing is continued. Proceed to step S640 shown on the page.
If it is determined in step S624 that the value of NRT is either 3 or 4 (YES), that is, RT3 or 4 is in an operating state, then the order RP4 combination is pushed in the combination lottery. It is determined whether or not the reel is operated in the correct reel stop order (push order) (step S626).

In this determination, if it is determined that the reel stop operation has been performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order) (YES), the values 3 and 4 that have already been set as the NRT values are maintained. The control process is performed (step S628), and the process proceeds to step S640. If it is determined in step S626 that the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order) (NO), next, 2 is input to the value of NRT (step S630), Proceed to S640.
In other words, in any game of RT3, 4 operation state, when the winning order RP4 combination is won in the lottery drawing and the reel stop operation is performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order), the current RT3, 4 operation state is maintained. When the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct reel stop order (push order), the next game is shifted to the RT2 operation state.

Moving from FIG. 13 to FIG. 14, in step S640, it is determined whether or not the value of NRT is any of 6 and 7, that is, whether or not RT6 or 7 is in an operating state (step S640). If it is determined in this determination that the value of NRT is neither 6 nor 7 (NO), that is, neither RT 6 nor 7 is in an operating state, the control process of steps S642 to S646 is not performed and the process is directly performed. Proceed to S648.
If it is determined in step S640 that the value of NRT is either 6 or 7 (YES), that is, RT 6 or 7 is in the operating state, then in order of winning combination RP5 It is determined whether the reel stop operation has been performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order) (step S642).

If it is determined in this determination that the winning operation has been performed and the reel stop operation has been performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order) (YES), it is then determined whether or not a BB game is in progress (step S643). If it is determined by this determination that the BB game is being played (YES), the process proceeds to step S648. If it is determined in step S643 that the BB game is not being played (NO), then 4 is input to the value of NRT (step S644), and the process proceeds to step S648. If it is determined in step S642 that the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order) (NO), next, 2 is input to the value of NRT (step S646), Proceed to S648.
In other words, in any of the games in the non-BB state RT6 or 7 operation state, when the winning order RP5 combination is won in the winning lottery and the reel stop operation is performed in the correct reel stopping order (pushing order), the next game starts RT4 When the operation state is changed and the reel stop operation is not performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order), the next game is changed to the RT2 operation state.

In step S648, it is determined whether or not the value of NRT is any of 2, 3, 6, and 7, that is, whether the RT2, 3, 6, or 7 is in an operating state (step S648). If it is determined in this determination that the NRT value is neither 2, 3, 6, 7 (NO), that is, it is neither the RT 2, 3, 6, 7 operating state, the control of steps S650 to S654 is performed. Without processing, the process proceeds to step S656 as it is.
If it is determined in step S648 that the NRT value is 2, 3, 6, 7 (YES), that is, the RT 2, 3, 6, 7 operating state is established, Then, it is determined whether or not the special RP is won in the role lottery (step S650).

If it is determined in this determination that the special RP has won (YES), it is next determined whether or not a BB game is being played (step S651). If it is determined by this determination that the BB game is being played (YES), the process proceeds to step S656 as it is. If it is determined in step S651 that the game is not BB game (NO), next, 3 is input to the value of NRT (step S652), and the process proceeds to step S656. If it is determined in step S650 that the special RP has not been won (NO), a control process is performed to maintain the values of 2, 3, 6, and 7 that have already been set as NRT values ( Step S654), the process proceeds to step S656.
In other words, in any game in the non-BB state RT2, 3, 6, 7 operating state, when a special RP wins, the game shifts to the RT3 operating state from the next game, and when the special RP does not win, RT2, 3, 6, and 7 operating states are maintained.

  In step S656, 1 is input to the value of the parameter NRP (step S656), and then the replay flag is turned off. If the BB and SRB flags are on, flag carry-over processing is performed. (Step S658), this subroutine is terminated. The re-game is performed in the next game by the control process of step S656 (see step S10 YES in FIG. 5).

  As described above, in the RT7 operating state (specific game state) executed when the SRB flag (second winning flag) is set in the BB game (winning game), the winning probability of the re-gamer in the winning lottery is It is possible to shift to another RT operation state (for example, RT3, 4 operation state: see steps S640 to S654) that is high (about 1 / 1.35) and has a high probability of winning a re-game player in the role lottery, and is a BB game Control can be performed so as to shift to another RT operation state (specific game state) after the (winning game) ends.

  Therefore, this RT7 operating state (specific game state) is a game state that is very advantageous for the player, and the player plays the SRB role (second winning combination) in the BB game (winning game) role lottery. When winning the game, it tries to maintain the flag set corresponding to the SRB combination (second winning combination), so that it gives the player a game of fun and makes the player interested in the game. You can expect to increase and sustain it.

  In the above-described embodiment, the game state transition and maintenance control processing is performed based on the determination as to whether or not the reel stop operation has been performed in the correct reel stop order (pushing order). The control process may be performed based on the displayed symbols instead of the ones. For example, based on the determination as to whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the correct answer has been displayed as a result of the reel stop order operation being performed in the correct reel stop order (push order), the game state transition and maintenance control processing is performed. You can also.

<Explanation of spilled eye determination subroutine>
Next, the spilled eye determination subroutine shown in step S514 of the flowchart of FIG. 11 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 15, first, a general combination 4 is won by a combination lottery, and it is determined whether a so-called spilled pattern is displayed without displaying a corresponding symbol by a reel stop operation (step S640). If it is determined by this determination that no so-called spilled eyes are displayed (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is. If it is determined in step S640 that a so-called spilled eye is displayed (YES), it is next determined whether the value of NRT is any of 2 to 8 (step S642).

If it is determined in this determination that the value of NRT is not any of 2 to 8 (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is. If it is determined in step S642 that the value of NRT is any of 2 to 8 (YES), it is next determined whether or not a BB game is in progress (step S643). If it is determined in this determination that the BB game is not being played (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is.
If it is determined in step S643 that the BB game is being played (YES), then 1 is input to the value of NRT (step S644), and this subroutine is terminated.
That is, when a so-called spill of the general role 4 is displayed in any game in the RT2 to 8 operating state, the next game is shifted to the RT1 operating state.

<Description of main routine (continued)>
As described above, the subroutine shown in steps S202, 206, and 210 is finished, and the winning determination and flag off processing subroutine shown in FIG. 8 is finished. Here, returning to the main routine of FIG. 5, the winning determination and flag-off process subroutine of step S28 is terminated, the payout process of step S30 is performed (step S30), and the information signal of the secondary gaming state is transmitted to the control circuit 200. (Step S32), the main routine ends. Based on the gaming state information signal transmitted in step S32, the sub-control circuit 200 can perform various control processes based on the gaming state.
As described above, the control process for playing a game in which one process from the time the symbol fluctuates until it stops is completed.

(Description of control processing performed by sub-control circuit 200)
Next, based on the signal received from the main control circuit 100, each subroutine showing the control processing performed in the sub control circuit 200 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
In the BB effect state setting subroutine shown in FIG. 16, it is determined whether a normal BB game (BBJOTAI = 1) or a special BB game (BBJOTAI = 2) is performed according to the game state when the BB combination is won. In the BB state corresponding notification effect control subroutine shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, control processing for performing the notification effect corresponding to the normal BB game and the special BB game is shown. In the notification count addition determination subroutine shown in FIG. 19, when the winning order RP2 is won in the special BB game, a control process for adding the notification count is performed. In the notification count addition lottery subroutine of FIG. A control process for adding a typical number of notifications is shown. In the BB time effect control subroutine shown in FIG. 21, it is determined whether an effect corresponding to a normal BB game or an effect corresponding to a special BB game is performed. In the normal BB effect control subroutine of FIG. A specific control process for implementing an effect corresponding to the special BB game is shown in the special BB effect control subroutine of FIG. 23. In the notification image display subroutine shown in FIG. 24, a control process for performing notification effect (AT) is shown.

<Description of BB effect state setting subroutine>
First, the BB effect state setting subroutine will be described with reference to FIG. In this subroutine, it is determined whether a normal BB game (BBJOTAI = 1) or a special BB game (BBJOTAI = 2) is performed according to the game state when the BB combination is won.
In FIG. 16, first, it is determined whether or not a BB start signal has been received from the main control circuit 100 (step S700). If it is determined in this determination that the BB start signal has not been received (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is.
If it is determined in step S700 that a BB start signal has been received (YES), that is, if it is determined by the main control circuit 100 that a BB game is to be started, then BB is determined by a lottery at RT2, RT3 or RT4 operation. It is determined whether or not a winning combination has been won (step S702).

If it is determined in this determination that the BB combination is won (YES) in the combination lottery at the time of RT3 operation or RT4 operation (YES), 2 is input to the value of the parameter BBJOTAI (step S704), and this subroutine is terminated. . Thereby, after the BB game is started, the special BB game is performed.
If it is determined in step S702 that the BB combination is not won in the combination lottery during RT3 operation or RT4 operation (NO), 1 is input to the value of the parameter BBJOTAI (step S706). 10 is input to the value of the counter TSUJO (step S708), and this subroutine is terminated. Thereby, after starting BB game, normal BB game is performed.

  The counter TSUJO is a counter that counts the number of times (the number of games) that the normal BB effect is performed in a normal BB game with BBJOTAI = 1. After the BB game starts, the value is decremented by 1 from each value for each game, and when the value becomes 0, the normal BB effect is ended. In other words, since 10 is input as the initial value of BBJOTAI, the normal BB effect is ended when the winning order lottery is won 10 times after the start of the BB game.

  As described above, when the BB role is won in the RT3 or RT4 operating state which is advantageous for the player who has a high probability of winning the re-game player and also performs the notification effect (AT), the value of the parameter BBJOTAI is set to 2. When BB combination is won in other gaming states, 1 is input to the value of the parameter BBJOTAI.

<Description of the BB state corresponding effect control subroutine>
Next, the BB state corresponding effect control subroutine will be described with reference to FIG. In this subroutine, a notification effect according to the value of the parameter BBJYOTAI is implemented.
In FIG. 17, it is first determined whether or not a game start signal (see step S41 in FIG. 6) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (step S720). If it is determined in this determination that the game start signal has not been received (NO), the determination process in step S720 is repeated as it is. That is, it is in a standby state until the game is started. If it is determined in step S720 that a game start signal has been received (YES), then, based on the gaming state information signal received from the main control circuit 100 (see step S32 in FIG. 5), the game It is determined whether or not the state is a BB gaming state (step S722).

  If it is determined in this determination that the BB gaming state is not set (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is. If it is determined in step S722 that the game state is BB (YES), then in the role lottery based on the role lottery information signal received from the main control circuit 100 (see step S74 in FIG. 6). It is determined whether or not the pressing order RP2 is won (step S724). Here, when the winning order RP2 is won in the role lottery, depending on the pressing order of the stop switch, normal display symbols such as replay, replay, and replay are displayed in the order of left, middle, and right reel, and special cases In some cases, a replay / replay / bell that is a simple display pattern is displayed.

If it is determined in this determination that the pressing order RP2 is not won (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is. If it is determined in step S724 that the pressing order RP2 has been won (YES), it is next determined whether the value of the parameter BBJOTAI is greater than 0 (step S726). If it is determined in this determination that the value of BBJOTAI is 0 or less (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is.
If it is determined in step S726 that the value of BBJOTAI is greater than 0 (YES), it is next determined whether the value of parameter BBJOTAI is greater than 1 (step S728).
In this determination, if it is determined that the value of BBJOTAI is 1 or less (NO), that is, BBJOTAI = 1, the replay, the replay, and the replay order to display the replay are displayed from the ROM 208. The image data to be read is read, the notification image is displayed on the display device 70, and the process proceeds to step S734 (step S730).

If it is determined in step S728 that the value of BBJOTAI is greater than 1 (YES), that is, BBJOTAI = 2, the replay, replay, and bell for displaying special display symbols are displayed from the ROM 208. The image data to be notified is read, the notification image is displayed on the display device 70, and the process proceeds to step S734 (step S732).
In step S734, it is determined whether or not an all-reel stop signal (see step S173 in FIG. 7) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (S734). If it is determined by this determination that all reel stop signals have not been received (NO), this determination process is repeated. That is, the display of the notification image that notifies the predetermined pressing order is continued until all reels stop. If it is determined in step S734 that all reel stop signals have been received (YES), this subroutine is terminated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the notification effect for displaying a normal display symbol (replay, replay, replay) or a special display symbol (replay, replay, bell) is always performed when the value of BBJOTAI is 1 or 2. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be performed in at least a part of the BB game period in which the value of BBJOTAI is 1 or 2.

  As described above, in the BB game with BBJYOTAI = 2, which is a game state advantageous to the player, a different replay, replay, and bell symbols (combination of symbols) are displayed to give the player a sense of discomfort. On the other hand, in a BB game with BBJYOTAI = 1, which is another game state, a normal replay, replay, replay symbol (combination of symbols) is displayed, and a different symbol (combination of symbols) is displayed. Can be prevented. Therefore, since the player is not carelessly expected, even if the game is continued, the player's interest in the game can be expected to be maintained.

<Description of the BB state corresponding effect control subroutine (part 2)>
In the above-described embodiment, when BBJOTAI> 1, a notification image for displaying replay, replay, and bell, which are special display symbols, is always displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the implementation shown in FIG. In the embodiment, based on the lottery process, it is determined whether to notify the pressing order for displaying a normal display symbol or to notify the pressing order for displaying a special display symbol.

  In FIG. 18, first, it is determined whether or not a game start signal (see step S41 in FIG. 6) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (step S740). If it is determined in this determination that the game start signal has not been received (NO), the determination process in step S740 is repeated as it is. That is, it is in a standby state until the game is started. If it is determined in step S740 that the game start signal has been received (YES), then, based on the game state information signal received from the main control circuit 100 (see step S32 in FIG. 5), the game It is determined whether or not the state is a BB gaming state (step S742).

  If it is determined in this determination that the BB gaming state is not set (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is. If it is determined in step S742 that the game state is BB (YES), then in the role lottery based on the role lottery information signal received from the main control circuit 100 (see step S74 in FIG. 6). It is determined whether or not the pressing order RP2 is won (step S744).

If it is determined in this determination that the pressing order RP2 is not won (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is. If it is determined in step S744 that the pressing order RP2 has been won (YES), it is next determined whether the value of the parameter BBJOTAI is greater than 0 (step S746). If it is determined in this determination that the value of BBJOTAI is 0 or less (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is.
If it is determined in step S746 that the value of BBJOTAI is greater than 0 (YES), it is next determined whether the value of parameter BBJOTAI is greater than 1 (step S748).

In this determination, if it is determined that the value of BBJOTAI is 1 or less (NO), that is, BBJOTAI = 1, the normal BB lottery table is read from the ROM 208, lottery processing is performed, and the process proceeds to step S754. Proceed (step S750).
If it is determined in step S748 that the value of BBJOTAI is greater than 1 (YES), that is, BBJOTAI = 2, the special BB lottery table is read from the ROM 208, lottery processing is performed, and step S754 is performed. (Step S752).

Here, FIG. 41 shows an example of the normal BB lottery table, and FIG. 42 shows an example of the special BB lottery table. Both lottery tables have NO. Six pushing orders of 1 to 6 are set, and the winning probability of each pushing order is determined for the condition devices 4 to 6 corresponding to the pushing order RP2.
In the normal BB lottery table of FIG. 41, the probability that the pressing order in which replay, replay, and replay, which are normal display symbols, are displayed in each condition device is 80% (= 40% × 2), The probability that the push order in which the replay, replay bell, which is a special display pattern is displayed, is won is 20% (= 5% × 4).
On the other hand, in the special BB lottery table shown in FIG. 42, the probability that the pressing order in which the replay / replay / bell that is a special display symbol is displayed is won in each condition device is 80% (= 20% × 4). Yes, the probability that the pushing order in which replay, replay, and replay, which are normal display symbols are displayed, is won is 20% (= 10% × 2).

In step S754, image data notifying the push order determined in the lottery process in step S750 or step S752 is read from the ROM 208, and the notification image is displayed on the display device 70, and the process proceeds to step S756. (Step S754).
In step S756, it is determined whether an all-reel stop signal (see step S173 in FIG. 7) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (S756). If it is determined by this determination that all reel stop signals have not been received (NO), this determination process is repeated. That is, the display of the notification image that notifies the predetermined pressing order is continued until all reels stop. If it is determined in step S756 that an all-reel stop signal has been received (YES), this subroutine is terminated.

  As described above, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 18, it is determined based on the lottery process whether the push order for displaying the normal display symbols is notified or the push order for displaying the special display symbols is notified. For example, it may be determined based on the number of notification performances (AT) that have been acquired.

<Description of Notification Number Addition Determination Subroutine>
Next, referring to FIG. A notification number addition determination subroutine for performing a control process for adding the number of executions of the notification effect (AT) when the winning order RP2 is won in the role lottery in the special BB game of BBJOTAI = 2 will be described.

  In FIG. 19, it is first determined whether or not a game start signal (see step S41 in FIG. 6) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (step S760). If it is determined in this determination that the game start signal has not been received (NO), the determination process in step S760 is repeated as it is. That is, it is in a standby state until the game is started. If it is determined in step S760 that the game start signal has been received (YES), then, based on the game state information signal received from the main control circuit 100 (see step S32 in FIG. 5), the game It is determined whether or not the state is a BB gaming state (step S762).

  If it is determined in this determination that the BB gaming state is not set (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is. If it is determined in step S762 that the game state is BB (YES), then, based on the winning lottery information signal received from the main control circuit 100 (see step S74 in FIG. 6), It is determined whether or not the pressing order RP2 is won (step S764).

If it is determined in this determination that the pressing order RP2 is not won (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is. If it is determined in step S764 that the pressing order RP2 is won (YES), it is next determined whether or not the value of the parameter BBJOTAI is greater than 1 (step S766). If it is determined in this determination that the value of BBJOTAI is 1 or less (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is (step S766).
If it is determined in step S766 that the value of BBJOTAI is greater than 1 (YES), that is, BBJOTAI = 2, a notification number addition lottery subroutine (see FIG. 20) is performed (step S768). Exit.

<Description of Notification Number Addition Lottery Subroutine>
Next, the notification frequency addition lottery subroutine executed in step S768 of the notification frequency addition determination subroutine of FIG. 19 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 20, first, a notification game number addition lottery table is read from the ROM 208, and lottery processing is performed (step S780). As this notification game number addition lottery table, for example, 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 are set as the number of games to be added, and each winning probability is 1/5. However, the information game number addition lottery table is not limited to this, and any other information game number addition lottery table can be used.

Next, a control process for adding the value determined in the lottery process in step S780 to the value of the counter NAT is performed (step S782), and this subroutine is terminated. Here, NAT is a counter for controlling the number of executions (games) of notification effects (AT), and 0 is input as an initial value. For example, when 10 is determined in the lottery process in step S780, the notification effect (AT) can be further added 10 times.
Furthermore, you may make it alert | report the result of the lottery process of step S780. In this case, for example, whether or not the notification effect (AT) is performed may be notified, or the number of times that the notification effect (AT) is performed may be notified.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, in the special BB game with BBJOTAI = 2, when the winning order lottery is won and the winning order RP2 is won, the notification count addition lottery subroutine is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the reel stop control, when a replay / replay / bell that is a special display symbol is displayed, a notification number addition lottery subroutine may be executed.

Furthermore, when the symbol replay / replay / replay or the symbol replay / replay / bell is displayed in the reel stop operation, it is possible to perform a control process of adding the number of times of the notification effect (AT), At this time, when the symbol replay / replay / bell is displayed, the probability that the number of executions of the notification effect (AT) is added is higher than when the symbol replay / replay / replay is displayed. be able to.
In addition, when the number of executions of the notification effect (AT) is added in the lottery process described above, it is possible to notify the added number of games, and the number of remaining games that can be used for the notification effect (AT). Can also be notified.

As described above, in a game in the RT2, RT3 or RT4 operating state, when a BB combination is won in the combination lottery, a BB game of BBJOTAI = 2 is performed (see FIG. 16), and BBJOTAI = 2 In the BB game, a control process for adding the number of notification effects (AT) is performed (see FIGS. 19 and 20). In other words, in the game of RT3, 4 operation state advantageous to the player, when winning the BB role by winning lottery, the game state shifts from the game state advantageous to the player to another game state, but disadvantageous for the player. In order to avoid this, in the transitioned BB game, it is possible to perform a control process for granting a privilege related to the notification effect (AT).
On the other hand, in the game state other than the game of RT3 or 4 operation state, when the BB combination is won by the combination lottery, the control process for adding the number of executions of the notification effect (AT) is not performed, so the progress of the game It can be expected that the player's interest in the game will be enhanced because the player can be changed and the game can be interesting to the player.

<Description of BB-time effect control subroutine>
Next, with reference to FIG. 21, a BB-time effect control subroutine for performing control processing for performing the normal BB effect or the special BB effect according to the value of the parameter BBJOTAI will be described.
In FIG. 21, it is first determined whether or not a game start signal (see step S41 in FIG. 6) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (step S800). If it is determined in this determination that the game start signal has not been received (NO), the determination process in step S800 is repeated as it is. That is, it is in a standby state until the game is started. If it is determined in step S800 that a game start signal has been received (YES), it is next determined whether or not the value of the parameter BBJOTAI is greater than 0 (step S802). If it is determined in this determination that the value of BBJOTAI is 0 or less (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is.
If it is determined in step S802 that the value of BBJOTAI is greater than 0 (YES), it is next determined whether the value of parameter BBJOTAI is greater than 1 (step S804).

  If it is determined in this determination that the value of BBJOTAI is 1 or less (NO), that is, BBJOTAI = 1, a normal BB effect control subroutine (see FIG. 22) is performed, and this subroutine is terminated. If it is determined in step S804 that the value of BBJOTAI is greater than 1 (YES), that is, BBJOTAI = 2, a special BB effect control subroutine (see FIG. 23) is performed, and this subroutine is terminated.

<Description of Normal BB Production Control Subroutine>
Next, the normal BB effect control subroutine, which is the control process shown in step S806 of the BB effect control subroutine of FIG. 21, will be described with reference to FIG. In this normal BB production control subroutine, after the BB game is started, the value of the counter TSUJO (the value at the start of the BB game is 10) is decremented by 1 each time the winning order is won in the role lottery. Until BB becomes 0 (that is, after the start of BB, until the winning bell is won 10 times in the winning lottery), a normal BB effect image is displayed.
As described above, after winning the BB, if the winning bell is won in the winning lottery and the payout of 13 game media is received, the BB game is completed in 8 wins. Therefore, the normal BB effect image may be continuously displayed even after the BB game ends.

In FIG. 22, first, it is determined whether or not the value of the counter TSUJO is larger than 0 (step S820). If it is determined in this determination that the value of TSUJO is 0 or less (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is.
If it is determined in step S820 that the value of TSUJO is greater than 0 (YES), then the normal BB effect image data is read from the ROM 208 and the normal BB effect image is displayed on the display device 70. (Step S822), the process proceeds to step S824. This normal BB effect image is a general image that gives an impression that the BB game is being executed, and continues for a plurality of games, and an image corresponding to the value of the counter TSUJO is displayed in each game. ing.

  In step S824, based on the winning lottery information signal received from the main control circuit 100 (see step S74 in FIG. 6), it is determined whether or not the winning order has been won in the winning lottery (step S824). If it is determined in this determination that the push order bell has not been won (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is. If it is determined in step S824 that the push order bell has been won (YES), control processing for subtracting 1 from the value of the counter TSUJO is performed (step S826), and the process proceeds to step S828. In step S828, it is determined whether the value of the counter TSUJO is 0 (step S828). If it is determined by this determination that the value of TSUJO is not 0 (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is.

  If it is determined in step S828 that the value of TSUJO is 0 (YES), then the value of parameter BBJOTAI is initialized by inputting 0 (step S830), and then the notification count addition lottery subroutine ( 20 is performed (step S832), and the process proceeds to step S834. As already described, the notification number addition lottery subroutine in step S832 is shown in the flowchart of FIG. 20, but in the lottery table performed at the end of the normal performance, the number of games is larger than the lottery processing performed during the special BB. Can be added. For example, 0, 10, 20, 40, and 60 are set as the number of games to be added, and each winning probability is 1/5. However, the information game number addition lottery table is not limited to this, and any other information game number addition lottery table can be used.

  In step S834, it is determined whether an all-reel stop signal (see step S173 in FIG. 7) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (S834). If it is determined by this determination that all reel stop signals have not been received (NO), this determination process is repeated. That is, the display of the normal BB effect image is continued until all reels are stopped. If it is determined in step S856 that all reel stop signals have been received (YES), this subroutine is terminated.

<Description of Special BB Production Control Subroutine>
Next, the special BB effect control subroutine that is the control process shown in step S808 of the BB-time effect control subroutine of FIG. 21 will be described with reference to FIG. In this special BB effect control subroutine, after the BB game starts, the special BB effect image is displayed until the BB game ends.

  23, first, the special BB effect image data is read from the ROM 208, and the special BB effect image is displayed on the display device 70 (step 840), and the process proceeds to step S842. The special BB effect image is an image that gives an impression that a BB game is being executed and that a game different from a normal BB game is in progress, and continues over a plurality of games. Yes.

  In step S842, it is determined whether an all-reel stop signal (see step S173 in FIG. 7) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (S842). If it is determined by this determination that all reel stop signals have not been received (NO), this determination process is repeated. That is, the display of the special BB effect image is continued until all reels are stopped. If it is determined in step S844 that all reel stop signals have been received (YES), it is next determined whether a BB end signal (see step S414 in FIG. 10) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (step S414 in FIG. 10). S844).

  If it is determined in this determination that the BB end signal has not been received (NO), the present subroutine is immediately ended. If it is determined in step S844 that the BB end signal has been received (YES), then the value of parameter BBJOTAI is initialized by inputting 0 (step 846), and this subroutine is terminated.

As described above, when BBJOTAI = 1, the normal BB effect is started at the start of the BB game, and when the number of pushing order bells in the winning lottery after the start of the BB game reaches the predetermined number (10 times). Since the normal BB effect ends, the normal BB effect may continue to be performed after the BB game ends. On the other hand, when BBJOTAI = 2, the special BB effect starts when the BB game starts, and the special BB effect ends when the BB game ends.
Therefore, the player can recognize that the game state is special due to the normal BB effect or the special BB effect, and the end requirement of the effect is a normal BB game (BBJOTAI = 1) or a special BB game ( Depending on whether BBJOTAI = 2), it is possible to change the progress of the production and the progress of the game.
Furthermore, during at least a part of the period in which the normal BB effect (BBJOTAI = 1) is being performed, a notification effect for displaying replay, replay, and replay, which are normal display symbols, is performed, and a special BB effect is provided. Since at least a part of the period when (BBJOTAI = 2) is being performed, a notification effect for displaying a replay / replay / bell that is a special display symbol is performed, so that the player's interest in the game is increased. It can be expected to increase.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 25, it is possible to execute a game in the RT6 to 8 operation state during the BB game, and the RT6 to 8 operation state can be continued even after the BB game is finished. It is possible to make it difficult for the player to determine whether or not the game has ended, and to give the player a game fun. Furthermore, in the case of BBJOTAI = 1, if the normal BB effect continues even after the BB game ends, the player can give the player an impression that the BB game is continued by the normal BB effect. It is possible to give gamers a fun game.

  When BBJOTAI = 1, the normal BB effect continues after the end of the BB game, for example, when the BB game ends while the game in the RT6 or RT7 state is being executed, the RT6 or RT7 operation that continues In the role lottery in the state, when the winning order replay 2 is won and the notification effect is made to display the replay / replay / replay which is the normal display symbol, the symbol replay / replay / replay is not displayed by the reel stop operation. In this case, it is impossible to shift to the RT2 operating state, which is a gaming state advantageous for the player (see FIG. 25). Therefore, in a game in which a normal BB effect with BBJOTAI = 1 is performed, the player may perform a reel stop operation so as to always display the symbol replay / replay / replay in accordance with the instruction content of the notification effect. Therefore, it can be expected that the player's interest in the notification effect is increased, and that the player's interest in the game is increased.

  On the other hand, in the special BB game with BBJOTAI = 2, the BB effect and the notification effect continue after the end of the BB game as in the normal BB game with BBJOTAI = 1 (for example, the RT2 operation cannot be performed). No transition to a state) or a transition to a gaming state that is unfavorable for the player (for example, transition to the RT1 operating state), and it is expected that the game will proceed in a state advantageous to the player it can.

<Description of Notification Image Display Subroutine>
Next, a control process for performing a notification effect (AT) for notifying a predetermined pressing order when the value of the counter NAT is larger than 0 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. In this subroutine, control processing by the effect control means 540, and in a game in which AT is set (a game of NAT> 0), when the winning order bell or the pushing order replay is won in the winning lottery, the reel stop switch operation is performed. A control process for displaying an effect image for informing the correct reel stop order (so-called AT) is performed. By this control processing, the player can display corresponding symbols on a plurality of active lines, and can receive more game media (13 cards), or to a more advantageous gaming state. It is possible to shift or maintain an advantageous gaming state.

24, first, it is determined whether or not a game start signal (see step S41 in FIG. 6) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (step S900). If it is determined in this determination that the game start signal has not been received (NO), the determination process in step S900 is repeated as it is. That is, it is in a standby state until the game is started. If it is determined in step S900 that a game start signal has been received (YES), it is next determined whether or not a role lottery information signal (see step S74 in FIG. 6) has been received from the main control circuit 100. (Step S902).
If it is determined in this determination that the combination lottery information signal has not been received (NO), the determination process in step S902 is repeated as it is. That is, it is in a standby state until a winning lottery information signal is received. If it is determined in step S902 that the combination lottery information signal has been received (YES), it is next determined whether or not the value of the counter NAT is larger than 0, that is, whether or not AT is being performed (step S904). . If it is determined in this determination that the value of NAT is 0 or less (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is.

If it is determined in step S904 that the value of NAT is greater than 0, that is, AT is being performed (YES), next, a control process for decrementing the value of the counter NAT by 1 is performed (step S906).
Next, based on the information of the winning lottery information signal received from the main control circuit 100, it is determined whether or not the push order bell or the push order replay is won (step S908). If it is determined in this determination that neither the push order bell nor the push order replay has been won (NO), the present subroutine is terminated as it is.

  If it is determined in step S908 that the push order bell or push order replay has been won (YES), the correct push order corresponding to the push order bell or push order replay won in the role lottery is next retrieved from the ROM 208. A reel stop order notification image for notifying (reel stop order) is read out and displayed on the display device 70 (step S910), and the process proceeds to step S912. In step S912, it is determined whether an all-reel stop signal (see step S173 in FIG. 7) has been received from the main control circuit 100 (S912).

  If it is determined by this determination that all reel stop signals have not been received (NO), this determination process is repeated. That is, the display of the reel stop order notification image is continued until all reels stop. If it is determined in step S912 that all reel stop signals have been received (YES), this subroutine is terminated.

  In a normal BB game with BBJOTAI = 1, when a winning order RP2 is won in the role lottery, a control image in step S910 displays a notification image for displaying a normal symbol (replay, replay, replay), and BBJOTAI. In the special BB game with = 2, when the winning order RP2 is won in the role lottery, a notification image for displaying a special symbol (replay, replay, bell) is displayed by the control processing in step S910.

(Description of other embodiments according to the present invention)
In the above-described embodiment, when the winning order RP2 is won in the role lottery, the symbol replay / replay bell is always displayed in any of the display windows when the reel stop operation is performed in the predetermined pressing order. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, depending on the timing at which the reel stop operation is performed, either symbol replay / replay / replay or symbol replay / replay bell is performed. The reel stop control can also be performed so as to be displayed.
Furthermore, as described above, when the symbol replay / replay / replay or symbol replay / replay / bell is displayed in the reel stop operation, the control processing for adding the number of times of performing the notification effect (AT) is performed. At this time, the probability that the number of implementations of the notice effect (AT) is added more when the symbol replay / replay / bell is displayed than when the symbol replay / replay / replay is displayed. Can be high.
