In addition, the main control ROM 40b stores a plurality of winning combination determination tables in which internal winning probabilities for each gaming state and for each winning combination are determined as an allocation range of winning combination determination random numbers. Further, in the main control ROM 40b, a stop table of symbol combinations for each combination is determined in advance. The stop table is a table in which symbols to be stopped and displayed are determined for each combination according to the operation timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player. The main control RAM 40c stores (sets) various information that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachi-slot 10.

Next, the winning combination determination tables T1, T2, and T3 stored in the main control ROM 40b will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the main control ROM 40b, the type of winning combination to be selected and the winning probability of each winning unit to be selected (number based on the range of random values). ) Is stored in a table for each gaming state. Each winning combination determination table is used by the main control CPU 40a according to the gaming state. In general games, a winning combination determination table T1 is associated with a low-probability RT game, a winning combination determination table T2 is associated with a high-probability RT game, and a winning combination determination table T3 is associated with a BN game.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), in the winning combination determination tables T1 and T2, each of red BN, white BN, cherry, watermelon, bell, replay, four-bell, and SIN Winning probability is defined. The winning probabilities for the red BN role, the white BN role, and the four-bell role are determined based on the single winning in which the winning of each winning role is stipulated independently, and a plurality of winning roles (in this embodiment, two types). Is defined by the sum of duplicate winnings defined by duplication. The single winning and the overlapping winning are determined as different winnings (winning winnings), for example, while including the same winning winning combination of red BN. On the other hand, the combined winning probability including the single winning and the overlapping winning is defined as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (b), regarding the winning of the winning combination that is the subject of the double winning, a winning probability is defined for each of the single winning and the overlapping winning. In other words, regarding the winning of red BN role, there are two types (red BN + 4 bells) of red BN role and 4 bell role when red BN role is elected independently In some cases, the winning combination will be a double winning combination of red BN. Also, the red BN winning combination probability is 1/1800, the red BN overlapping winning probability is 1/900, and the sum of these is the red BN winning probability shown in FIG. 5 (a). The winning combination determining random numbers are distributed so as to be (1/600). In the following description, when winning the red BN role, it means the single winning of the red BN role and the overlapping winning of the red BN role.

  Regarding the winning of white BN role, there are two types (white BN + 4 bells) of white BN role and 4 bell role when white BN role is elected independently In some cases, the winning combination will be a double winning combination of white BN rules. In addition, the winning probability of the white BN role alone is 1/1800, the white BN role winning probability is 1/900, and the sum of these is the winning probability of the white BN role shown in FIG. The winning combination determining random numbers are distributed so as to be (1/600). In the following description, when winning the white BN role, it means a single winning of the white BN role and an overlapping win of the white BN role. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, the sum of the winning probability (1/600) of the red BN role and the winning probability (1/600) of the white BN role is defined as 1/300. ing.

  In addition, with regard to the winning of the 4-bell role, there are two types (red BN + 4 sheets), the red BN role and the 4-bell role, where the winning of the 4-bell role is a single-spot elected 4-bell role. (Bell) or two types of winning (white BN + 4 bells), a white BN role and a 4-bell role, may result in a duplicated 4-bell role. In addition, the winning probability of single winning of 4 bell roles is 1/900, and the winning probability of overlapping winning with each BN role of 4 bells is 1/900, respectively. The winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability (1/300) of the four bell combination shown in FIG. In the following explanation, when the winning of the four-bell role is meant, the single winning of the four-bell role and the overlapping winning of the four-bell role.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), in the general game, the winning probability of the replay role is a high probability RT game (1 / 1.7), which is larger than that of the low probability RT game (1 / 7.3). Random numbers that determine the winning combination are distributed so as to increase. On the other hand, in the general game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probabilities of the winning combinations other than the replay combination have the same probability.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, in the high-reliability RT game in which the winning probability of the replay role is set to the high-probability lottery state, the consumption (injection) of medals held by the player is reduced by the amount that the re-game is easily given. Can be given to the player. Such a high-definition RT game is an advantageous state for the player.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the winning combination determination table T3, the winning probabilities of cherry, watermelon, bell, and four bells are defined. In the winning combination determination table T3, the winning combination determining random numbers are distributed so that each BN combination, replay combination, and SIN combination are not subject to lottery. Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the bonus game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability of the bell combination is significantly higher than that in the general game.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the BN game in which the winning probability of the bell role is greatly increased as compared with general games, the medal possessed by the player is increased by the amount that it is easy to win the bell role and easily obtain the award medal. Can do. Such a BN game is advantageous for the player.

  In general games, the winning combination probability of a small combination is set to a predetermined probability in a winning combination determination table in a bonus standby state to be described later. At the time of winning the BN combination in such a bonus standby state, the winning combination is replaced (rewritten) with the winning of another winning combination (small combination or out of combination).

Hereinafter, the sub control board 41 will be described.
The sub-control board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a sub-control ROM 41b that stores a control program for the sub-control CPU 41a, and a sub-control RAM 41c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided. The sub-control CPU 41a is connected to the effect display device 14, the speaker SP, and the lamp R.

  The sub-control CPU 41a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The sub-control program is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In addition, the sub-control ROM 41b displays a display effect pattern indicating the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a sound effect pattern indicating the sound output mode of the speaker SP, and a light emission effect pattern indicating the light emission mode of the lamp R. Is remembered. The sub-control RAM 41c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10. Specifically, the sub control RAM 41c stores (sets) sub status information (such as a flag) related to the gaming state by the sub control CPU 41a.

Hereinafter, processing related to the variable game executed by the main control CPU 40a based on the main control program will be described.
When the main control CPU 40a receives various operation signals, the main control CPU 40a executes predetermined control determined by the various operation signals. The main control CPU 40a executes display control of the various information display units 17 each time by inputting various operation signals and performing various controls. Further, when paying out award medals based on a prize-type winning, the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 when the credit upper limit number (in this embodiment, “50 (sheets)”) is exceeded. Thus, each time a drive signal is output, control is performed so that one award medal is paid out. The main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 at the time of credit settlement, and controls the player to pay out medals for the credit.

  The main control CPU 40a sets the number of bets when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 or when an operation signal of each of the BET buttons 19 and 20 is input. The main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits every time the BET buttons 19 and 20 are operated. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits when the number of credits is increased by inserting medals. Then, the main control CPU 40a causes a game startable state in which a variable game can be performed when the bet number of 3 bets is set.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a role lottery (internal lottery) when an operation signal of the start lever 22 is input in a state where the game can be started. Then, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the winning combination determination random number from the main control RAM 40c, and the value belongs to the range of each winning combination value in the winning combination determination table stored in the main control ROM 40b. A role lottery is performed to determine whether or not there is. In the role lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination to be won using the winning combination determination table corresponding to the gaming state. The main control CPU 40a recognizes the gaming state by setting state information (such as a flag) indicating the gaming state in the main control RAM 40c. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs the role lottery in this way functions as a winning combination lottery means.

  When determining the winning combination, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c role information (such as a flag) indicating the type of the determined winning combination. That is, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the red BN combination or the white BN combination is won, the main control CPU 40a carries over the combination information of each BN combination in the main control RAM 40c until the winning of each BN combination is generated. . In this way, the state in which the role information of each BN combination is carried over is a bonus standby state in which the occurrence of winning of each BN combination is permitted but is waiting for the generation. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a determines that a small role is won, the main control RAM 40c becomes small in response to the end of the variable game (one time) subject to the role lottery regardless of whether or not the small role is won. Erase the role information of the role.

  In addition, when determining the duplicate winning, the main control CPU 40a stores in the main control RAM 40c information indicating the type of each winning combination defined in the duplicate winning. For example, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the red BN combination and the four-bell combination are won, the main control CPU 40a stores the red BN combination information and the four-bell combination information in the main control RAM 40c.

  For this reason, each BN combination becomes a winning combination that can be carried over the variable game until winning is determined. On the other hand, the small combination becomes a winning combination that cannot be carried over the next and subsequent variable games regardless of whether or not a winning decision is made.

  The main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the variable game at the timing when the player detects the operation of the start lever 22 (after performing a predetermined process such as a role lottery), and the lottery result of the role lottery and A variable game start command indicating a gaming state in which the variable game is played is output to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This variable game start command also instructs the combination information of each carried BN combination. The main control CPU 40a detects the operation of the start lever 22 by the player, and in a state where the wait time has elapsed since the end of the immediately preceding variable game, each reel is started so as to start the rotation operation of each reel. Control. Further, the variable game start command to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) can be output in accordance with the start of the rotation operation of each reel.

  Subsequently, when the CPU 40a for main control inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R based on the player's operation, it performs control (stop control) for stopping the reels corresponding to the various operation signals. Further, the main control CPU 40a grasps information on fluctuation or stop of each reel based on a position signal from a reel sensor corresponding to each reel. That is, the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to grasp the change status of each reel during the change of each reel, while the main control CPU 40a knows the stop status of each reel during the stop of each reel. Let The main control CPU 40a maintains the rotating operation without performing stop control on the rotating reel until various operation signals are input from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

  When the main control CPU 40a inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, the main control CPU 40a outputs the various operation signals to the sub control CPU 41a. The various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R indicate the operation status of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R by the player, that is, which stop button is operated and the order in which the stop buttons are operated. (Sub-control CPU 41a) to grasp.

Next, stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
Based on the determined winning combination, the main control CPU 40a stops each reel within a predetermined range (maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player. Stop the combination of symbols. When the main control CPU 40a stops each reel that is rotating, a combination of symbols based on the winning table selected and the stop table stored in the main control ROM 40b from the operation timing of each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R. Perform stop control to display For this reason, each reel does not necessarily stop at the timing of the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, and the timing of the stop operation by the player does not match the timing at which each reel stops (so-called so-called). , “Slip”). For example, in the control with “slip”, when the timing of the stop operation by the player for the symbol to be stopped is early, each reel is forced to slide in the fluctuation direction of each reel and the symbol to be stopped is stopped on the winning line. Let

  For this reason, if each reel does not have five or more parts of the other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols that you want to stop, it will stop on any winning line as a result of slip control. The desired type of symbol can be stopped and displayed. On the other hand, in each reel, when other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols to be stopped have five or more portions, it is desired to stop at any winning line even with slip control. There are cases where it is not possible to stop the display of types of symbols.

  The main control CPU 40a stops and displays the BN stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when each BN combination is won (carrying over the winning combination). Further, the main control CPU 40a, when winning each BN role, if winning in combination with a small role due to duplicate winning of each BN role, etc., the stop eye corresponding to the small role (combination of symbols) ) Is displayed with priority.

  On the other hand, when winning each BN role, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the stop operation timing by the player at a predetermined timing, and also has not won a small role or won a small role. However, if the stop eye corresponding to the small role cannot be stopped and displayed, the “chance eye” indicating that there is a possibility of winning the BN role is stopped. This “chance” is not displayed when the winning combination is won, but can be stopped when the cherry or watermelon combination is missed. In this case, a BN combination is missed (combination of combination information) is generated.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the cherry stop eye when the timing of the stop operation by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the cherry role is won. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stop eye and the chance eye when the stop operation timing by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the cherry role is won. In this case, the cherry role is missed.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the watermelon stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the watermelon role is won. On the other hand, when the timing of the stop operation by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the watermelon role is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stoppage eye and the chance eye. In this case, a watermelon role is missed.

In addition, when the replay winning combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the replay stop eye that is a prize for the replay winning combination regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.
Then, the winning combination of each BN combination and small combination is not determined, that is, when the extraordinary combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the discontinuation stop eye regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

Next, stop control at the time of winning the four-bell role (left correct bell role, middle correct bell role, right correct bell role) will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), in the pachislot machine 10 of this embodiment, three stop buttons are selected when "left correct bell combination", "middle correct bell combination", and "right correct bell combination" are selected. Control performed based on the stop button operated first is different. In the present embodiment, the correct answer pressing order corresponding to each of the bell combinations is selected.

  When the correct answer is obtained based on the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a is in the middle stage of the middle reel 13C (medium reel middle stop position D5) as shown in FIG. [ANY / Bell / ANY] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle the three lines L1, L3, and L4. Note that the main control CPU 40a determines that the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R are [ANY] when the correct answer is reached based on the winning of the bell role, but the winning line L1, L1 is determined by [Bell Bell Bell]. Each reel is stopped and displayed so as to form either L3 or L4. In this way, in the stop display across a plurality of winning lines, as will be described later, a winning combination of the bell role occurs simultaneously for the plurality of winning lines (in this embodiment, three). In the following description, “bell winning prize” or “bell winning” means stop display across a plurality of winning lines based on the bell winning.

  On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a is in the upper stage of the middle reel 13C (upper stop position D4 for the middle reel), as shown in FIG. [ANY / Bell / ANY] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one winning line L2. The main control CPU 40a determines that the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R are [ANY] when the push order is incorrect based on the winning of the bell role, but the winning line L2 is determined by [Bell Bell Bell]. Each reel is stopped and displayed so as to form. In the following description, the phrase “missing a bell role” or “bell spilling” means a stop display across only one winning line based on the bell role.

  That is, when the left correct bell combination is won, the stop button 23L for instructing to stop the left reel 13L is operated first, and the bell stop eye that becomes a bell winning is displayed in a stop order. On the other hand, at the time of winning the right correct bell role, the bell stop eye that spills the bell as an incorrect push order is displayed as a stop indication that one of the stop buttons 23C, 23R for instructing to stop other than the left reel 13L is operated first. Is done.

  Further, when the middle correct bell combination is won, the bell stop eye which becomes a bell winning is displayed as a stop in response to pressing the stop button 23C for instructing to stop the middle reel 13C first. On the other hand, at the time of winning the middle correct bell role, the stop button 23L, 23R for instructing to stop other than the middle reel 13C is operated first. Is done.

  In addition, when the right correct bell combination is won, the bell stop eye that becomes a bell win is stopped and displayed by pressing the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R first. On the other hand, at the time of winning the right correct bell role, the bell stop eye that spills the bell as an incorrect push order is displayed as a stop indication that any one of the stop buttons 23L and 23C for instructing to stop other than the right reel 13R is operated first. Is done.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye that becomes a bell winning regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the correct answer is the pushing order when the bell role is won. Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays a bell stop eye that spills a bell regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the push order is incorrect when the bell role is won.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, in the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the “four-bell function” is selected, the middle reel 13C is used regardless of the stop button that is operated first among the three stop buttons. [ANY / Bell / ANY] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one winning line L2 in the upper stage (upper stop position D4 for the middle reel). Note that the main control CPU 40a determines that the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R are [ANY] when the four-bell role is won, and is determined according to the stop button that the player stops and the timing of the stop operation by the player. (In this embodiment, bell spill [stop bell different from bell bell bell]) is stopped and displayed. In the following description, the term “four-bell winning” or “four-bell winning” means a stop display across only one winning line based on the four-bell winning. Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays a bell stop eye that becomes a four-bell winning regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player when the four-bell role is won.

  In addition, in this embodiment including overlapping winnings with each BN role, it is possible to double winning with each BN role by enabling a 4-bell role that can generate a prize regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player. In the floating game that is the target of the game, a scene is created in which at least the winning of each BN role is not generated.

Next, stop control at the time of winning the SIN combination will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 6D to 6F, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the control performed based on the operation mode of the three stop buttons is different when the “SIN combination” is won.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the SIN role, when the timing of the stop operation by the player is performed at a timing enabling the SIN winning, as shown in FIG. [White Seven Bar Watermelon] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one winning line L2 regardless of the button.

  On the other hand, if the timing of the stop operation by the player is a timing at which a SIN winning is not possible when the SIN role is won, the main control CPU 40a may first operate a stop button for instructing a stop other than the right reel 13R ( As shown in FIG. 6E, [Bell / Replay / Bell] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one of the pay lines. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when the SIN combination is won, when the stop operation timing by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first ( As shown in FIG. 6 (f), [Replay / Bar / Replay] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one of the winning lines. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when the SIN combination is won, when the stop operation timing by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first ( First right operation), as shown in FIG. 6 (f), stop display of [bar / bar / bar] is allowed so as to straddle only one pay line L3.

  In other words, the main control CPU 40a, when the SIN combination is won, the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first, and when the SIN winning is not possible, [bar] is stopped and displayed on each reel. If a stop operation is performed by the player at the timing, the [bar / bar / bar] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one pay line L3. In the following description, a symbol combination that forms a winning line by [Bell / Replay / Bell] is referred to as “normal SIN spilling stop eye”. In addition, in the following explanation, a symbol combination that forms a winning line by [Replay / Bar / Replay] is called “special SIN spill stop”, and among them, a symbol combination that forms a winning line by [Bar / Bar / Bar] Is called "bar stop eyes". Each SIN spilling stop eye is different from any of the stop eyes shown in FIG. In addition, each SIN spilling stop eye does not give a prize medal to the player even if it is stopped on the winning line, but is different from the stop stop eye.

  The main control CPU 40a then wins the SIN role, that is, the SIN win regardless of the stop button that is operated first when the stop operation timing by the player is the timing at which the SIN winning is possible when the SIN role is won. The SIN stop eye is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins the SIN role and the timing of the stop operation by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button for instructing to stop other than the right reel 13R is operated first, A normal SIN spill stop eye that is a normal SIN spill, that is, a normal SIN spill stop is displayed. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the SIN role, if the stop operation timing by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button 23R instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first, A special SIN spilling stop, that is, a special SIN spilling stop eye is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the SIN role, the timing of the stop operation by the player is the timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, and when the [bar] can be stopped and displayed in each row, If the stop button 23R for instructing to stop 13R is first operated, the bar stop eye is stopped and displayed among the special SIN spill stop eyes. In the present embodiment, when [bar] can be stopped and displayed in each column, symbols are arranged on each reel so that the SIN winning is not possible.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination when all the reels are stopped and the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this case, the main control CPU 40a reads out the combination information from the main control RAM 40c, and performs a winning determination for determining whether a combination of symbols corresponding to the read combination information (winning combination) is stopped and displayed on the winning line. . Further, in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a identifies the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line from the position signal input with each reel being stopped, and the combination is the role information. It is determined whether or not the winning mode corresponds to (winning role). When the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is a winning mode corresponding to the winning combination information (winning winning combination), the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination (affirmative) based on the winning combination information. On the other hand, if the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is not the winning mode corresponding to the winning combination information (winning winning combination), the main control CPU 40a does not win the winning combination based on the winning combination information (ie, the winning combination). Judgment of missing winning combination based on information.

  Then, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined by the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a performs control according to the winning mode determined to be the winning. That is, the main control CPU 40a performs control for shifting the gaming state and control for paying out prize medals in accordance with the prize mode. Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a outputs a winning instruction command indicating that the winning is determined to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This winning instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to recognize the winning combination of the winning combination instructed by the variable game start command.

  Specifically, when determining the winning of each BN combination, the main control CPU 40a performs BN game control as a game state control for shifting from the next variable game to the BN game. In this BN game control, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of BN payouts of award medals awarded (paid out) to the player from the first variable game after the start of the BN game. Further, the main control CPU 40a ends the BN game with the end of the variable game in which the BN payout number exceeds the maximum payout number (360 in the present embodiment).

  When determining the winning of the cherry role, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out two prize medals. Then, the main control CPU 40a determines the cherry stop eye so as to straddle the two winning lines L2 and L3 in the upper stage of the left reel 13L (upper stop position D1 for the left reel) when determining the winning of the cherry role. When the stop display is made, it is controlled to pay out four prize medals, which is twice the number of two winnings of two cherry roles. Further, the main control CPU 40a stops the cherry stop eye so as to straddle only one winning line L1 in the middle stage of the left reel 13L (left reel middle stop position D2) when determining the winning of the cherry role. When displayed, control is performed to pay out two prize medals. The main control CPU 40a performs control so that one or more prize medals are not paid out when determining that the cherry role is missed when the cherry role is won.

  Further, when determining the winning of the watermelon combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out six award medals. Note that the main control CPU 40a performs control so that one or more prize medals are not paid out when determining that the watermelon role is missed when the watermelon role is won.

  When determining the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a performs control to pay out four prize medals. When the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye which becomes the bell winning at the time of determining the winning of the bell role, three times the winning of the bell role is generated at the same time, which is three times four. Control to pay out 12 award medals. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out four prize medals when the bell stop eye that spills the bell is stopped and displayed at the time of determining the winning of the bell role. In this case, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the gaming state to be described later.

  Further, when determining the winning of the four-bell role, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out four award medals. In this case, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the gaming state to be described later.

  When determining the replay winning combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for replaying the next variable game. As such control, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet number as that of the variable game for which the winning is determined.

  When determining the winning of the SIN role, the main control CPU 40a performs SIN game control as a game state control for shifting to the SIN game for the next one-time variable game. In this SIN game control, the main control CPU 40a ends the SIN game with the end of one variable game that is the target of the SIN game. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the variable game to be the target of the SIN game so as to be in the gaming state at the time of winning the SIN role that triggered the SIN game. The main control CPU 40a does not perform the SIN game control when determining the SIN spillage when the SIN combination is won. In this case, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the gaming state to be described later.

Next, the transition state of the gaming state controlled by the main control CPU 40a based on the variable game according to the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
When shifting the gaming state, the main control CPU 40a outputs a state instruction command indicating the transitioned gaming state to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This state instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (the sub control CPU 41a) to grasp the gaming state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a shifts from the next variable game to the BN game (BN) with the occurrence of winning of each BN winning combination (BN winning) in the general game, that is, the stop display of the BN stop. In this case, the main control CPU 40a makes the transition from the next variable game to the low probability RT game (low probability RT) regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning when the BN game ends.

  Further, during the control of the low-probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the SIN role and makes a transition to the high-probability RT game (high-definition RT) when a special SIN spill occurs in the SIN spill. During the control of the low probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the SIN role and continues the low probability RT game from the next variable game depending on the occurrence of a SIN prize or a normal SIN spill. That is, in the low probability RT game, if the special SIN spill stop eye is stopped and the SIN game is not performed even if the SIN role is won and the SIN spill stop eye is stopped, the transition condition to the high probability RT game is satisfied. In addition, in the low-accuracy RT game, when the SIN role is won and the SIN stop eye is stopped and the SIN game is played, or when the SIN role is won and the SIN spill stop eye is displayed, the normal SIN spill stop eye is stopped and displayed When the game is not performed, the transition condition to the high probability RT game is not satisfied and the game is continued.

  Further, during the control of the high probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the role of the bell and makes the transition to the low probability RT game when the bell spills. Note that during the control of the high probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the bell role and continues the high probability RT game from the next variable game depending on the occurrence of the bell winning. That is, in the high-definition RT game, if the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and spills the bell is stopped and 12 award medals are not obtained (4 award medals are obtained), the low probability RT The game transition condition ("falling condition" which is the end of the high-definition RT game) is satisfied. In addition, in the high-definition RT game, if the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and is awarded a bell win is stopped and 12 award medals are obtained, the transition condition to the low-definition RT game is not satisfied and is continued. The

  In addition, during the control of the high probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the 4-bell role and continues the high-definition RT game from the next variable game depending on the occurrence of the 4-bell winning. That is, in the high-definition RT game, if the bell stop eye that wins the 4-bell role and wins the 4-belt is stopped and four prize medals are obtained, the transition condition to the low-probability RT game is Continued without being satisfied. In addition, when winning the four-bell combination, there is also a duplicate winning combination with each BN combination, so there is a case where the next game (next time or later) is shifted to a BN game.

Next, a process related to a variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs various commands such as a variable game start command and a winning instruction command, the display content of the effect display device 14 and the sound of the speaker SP are executed so as to execute various effects based on the content instructed by the command. The output content and the light emission mode of the lamp R are controlled. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a grasps the winning combination missed (non-winning) instructed by the variable game start command when the winning instruction command is not input. Further, since the sub-control CPU 41a can grasp the stop status of each reel, the sub-control CPU 41a can also grasp the missed winning combination from this stop status.

  In addition, when the state instruction command is input, the sub control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub state information indicating which gaming state is controlled in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a performs control for causing various effects each time a variable game start command is input.

  Then, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state of the effect display device 14 in accordance with the game state controlled by the main control CPU 40a. As a result, the player plays a variable game according to the effect state of the effect display device 14. In such an effect state, the game state is recognized by the player based on the type, and an effect that allows the player to play the game advantageously is performed. The effect states in this embodiment are classified into a plurality of types as shown in FIG.

  Specifically, in the production state, there is an ART mode that is performed when the gaming state is a high-definition RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the ART mode. This ART mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a high-probability lottery state and an effect of assisting (assisting) the Bell winning a prize.

  Further, the effect state includes a preparation mode that is performed when the game state is a low probability RT game. In the case of the preparation mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the preparation mode. This preparation mode is a state in which a special SIN spill and an effect of assisting a bell winning are performed while the winning probability of the replay role is in a low probability lottery state.

  The effect state includes a normal mode that is performed when the game state is a low probability RT game. In the case of the normal mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the normal mode. This normal mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a low-probability lottery state, and the special SIN spilling and the effect of assisting the bell winning are not performed.

  The effect state includes a BN mode that is performed when the game state is BN game. In the case of the BN mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the BN mode display screen. This BN mode is a state in which a bell role can be won with a high probability and an effect of assisting a bell winning is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a sets the effect flag (information) indicating the type of effect state in the sub control RAM 41c, thereby grasping the controlled effect state. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a selects the image display data for the background image corresponding to the effect flag, and controls the display content (display screen) of the effect display device 14 based on the selected image display data. To do.

Hereinafter, the control contents in each effect state will be described together with the display effects in the effect display device 14.
As a result of performing the control in each effect state described below, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so that the effect state is shifted in the manner shown in FIG.

First, control related to the normal mode will be described.
When the gaming state is a low probability RT game, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the normal mode.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during the normal mode (during normal mode control). During normal mode, each BN role (including duplicate winning with 4 bell roles), Cherry role, Watermelon role, Bell role, 4 bell roles (including overlapping winning roles with each BN role), Replay role The winning of SIN role and winning (missing) are instructed.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the BN mode when the winning of each BN combination is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform an effect that assists the correct answer in the pressing order (bell winning) when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. In other words, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so as to make it difficult to win a bell. In the normal mode, when a player wins the bell role, a bell win occurs when the player happens to push the correct answer.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a displays an effect so as not to perform an effect that assists special spilling of SIN when the winning of the SIN role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the device 14 is controlled. That is, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so as to make special SIN spilling difficult. In the normal mode, a special SIN spill occurs when the player first operates the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R when the SIN combination is won.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART entry lottery when the winning of the small role is instructed. In this ART rush lottery, random numbers are assigned to either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability (for example, the sum is 1/260) based on the winning combination instructed to win. Done. The sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode when deriving the “winning” result in the ART entry lottery, while in the ART mode when deriving the “non-winning” result in the ART entry lottery. Does not generate the right to transfer. In the ART rush lottery of the present embodiment, random numbers are distributed so that the ART first win probability calculated as “winning” calculated in consideration of the winning probability of each winning combination is approximately 1/260. .

  The random numbers used for the ART entry lottery and various lotteries described later are updated every predetermined cycle and stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Then, the sub control CPU 41a acquires random numbers used in the lottery from the sub control RAM 41c when performing various lotteries, and performs random lottery based on the acquired random numbers.

  Further, when generating the right to shift to the ART mode, the sub control CPU 41a sets [1] to the ART flag indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. Set. That is, when the ART flag is set to [1], the generation of the ART mode is guaranteed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a continuously holds the setting contents of the ART flag even when the mode is shifted to another mode such as the BN mode. In the following description, “with an ART flag” means that the right to shift to the ART mode is generated, that is, the ART flag is [1]. Further, “without ART flag” means that the right to enter the ART mode has not occurred, that is, the ART flag is not [1] [0 (zero)].

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a derives the result of "winning" in the ART entry lottery, and when the ART flag is present, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode from the variable game or the variable game after a predetermined number of times. The production state is controlled so as to shift to the preparation mode for notification. In this case, the low probability RT game is continued in the game state. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the normal mode when the result of “non-winning” is derived in the ART entry lottery.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a gives a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player if the stop button 23L is not operated first in each variable game. For example, as a penalty, do not start the ART mode control when instructing a special SIN spill, do not perform an ART rush lottery, or perform an ART rush lottery, but make sure that a “non-winning” result is derived. Or In the present embodiment, the special SIN spillage is prevented from occurring when the stop button 23L is first operated. As a result, during the normal mode, the ART mode cannot be entered unless the ART mode entry right is acquired by the ART entry lottery.

Next, control related to the preparation mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a is in a low-probability RT game, and after the ART flag is present during the low-probability RT game (there may be a predetermined number of times), the sub-control CPU 41a Control state to ready mode.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning instructions during the preparation mode (during preparation mode control). In preparation mode, each BN role (including duplicate winning with 4 bell roles), Cherry role, Watermelon role, Bell role, 4 bell roles (including duplicate winning with each BN role), Replay role The winning of SIN role and winning (missing) are instructed.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the BN mode when the winning of each BN combination is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs “bell navigation effect” for assisting the correct answer in the pressing order (bell winning) when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so that a bell winning is assisted. Note that during the preparation mode, when the player wins the bell role, the player wins a bell prize by following the bell navigation effect.

  The bell navigation effect is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, three images simulating a stop button are displayed side by side, and a number “1” is attached to one of the three images. For example, when “1” is attached in the middle of the three, the player is made aware that the stop button 23C should be operated first.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the bell navigation effect is performed in accordance with the start of the variable game when the winning of the bell role is instructed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a bell navigation effect with the content of informing the correct push order according to the type of bell combination instructed to win. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a, when instructed to win the middle correct bell role, causes the stop button 23C to perform a bell navigation effect with the content of informing the operation first.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a directs the “SIN navigation effect” to assist the special SIN spill when the winning of the SIN role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so that special SIN spillage is assisted. In the preparation mode, a special SIN spill occurs when the player follows the SIN navigation effect when the SIN role is won.

  The SIN navigation effect is performed by the effect display device 14. The effect display device 14 displays three images imitating the stop button side by side, with “1” on the right, “2” in the middle, and “3” on the left of the three. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to display the character string. In this SIN navigation effect, the stop button 23R should be operated first, and then the stop button 23C should be operated in the order of the stop button 23L, and each stop button at the timing of the stop operation for stopping and displaying [bar] on each reel. Let the player know what should be operated.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the SIN navigation effect is performed in accordance with the start of the variable game when the winning of the SIN role is instructed. For this reason, during the preparation mode, the winning of the SIN role is actively notified by the SIN navigation effect.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since there is an ART flag, if the right to shift to the ART mode has occurred, the winning information of the SIN role and the special SIN spilling that will trigger the transition to the high probability RT game The information to be guided is notified, and the player is led to a highly reliable RT game.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the ART mode when a special SIN spill is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a highly reliable RT game.

Next, control related to the ART mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the ART mode when the game state is a high-definition RT game. Since the start of the ART mode control is triggered by a special SIN spill, it is synchronized with the start of the high-reliability RT game in the gaming state.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the ART mode (controlling the ART mode). In ART mode, each BN role (including duplicate winning with 4 bell roles), Cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, 4 bell roles (including duplicate winning with each BN role), replay role The winning of SIN role and winning (missing) are instructed.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the BN mode when the winning of the BN role is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the “bell navigation effect” so that the “bell navigation effect” is performed as in the preparation mode when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. Controls the display content of. That is, during the ART mode, the performance is performed so that the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted and the bell winning is assisted. Note that during the ART mode, when the player wins the bell role, the player wins a bell prize by following the bell navigation effect.

  During the ART mode, the gaming state may shift to a low probability RT game due to bell spilling. Also in this case, the sub-control CPU 41a continues to control the ART mode, and at the time of instructing the winning of the SIN role during the control of the ART mode, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a SIN navigation effect to achieve a highly accurate RT game in the gaming state Assisting the return of

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a stores the remaining G number indicating the number of times of the variable game that can be performed in the ART mode in a predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. This remaining G number is also the number of times that the game can be assisted by the player by means of a bell navigation effect in the ART mode. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a continuously holds the remaining G number even when a transition is made to another mode such as the BN mode. In the following description, when the remaining G number is “0 (zero)”, the remaining G number is not set while the remaining G number is not set. Further, when the remaining G number is other than “0 (zero)” (≧ 1), the remaining G number is set while the remaining G number is being set.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a adds [50 (times)] as the remaining G number when shifting to the ART mode from when the remaining G number is not set. The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c every time the start of the variable game is instructed in the ART mode. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of variable games that can be performed in the ART mode, that is, the number of variable games that have elapsed since the start of the ART mode, based on the variable games.

  The sub-control CPU 41a notifies the player of the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c using the effect display device 14. Thereby, the player can be made aware of the number of times that the variable game is performed in the ART mode.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the ART mode from the setting of the remaining G number, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the ART mode with the remaining G number being set. The transition from the setting of the remaining G number to the ART mode is caused by the transition (return) from the BN mode to the ART mode which is won during the ART mode.

  Then, if the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a can execute the next variable game if the ART mode continuation condition is satisfied (continuation). The effect state is controlled to continue the ART mode. On the other hand, if the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the next fluctuation if the ART mode continuation condition is not satisfied (non-continuation). The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that a high-assist RT effect for notifying the end of the ART mode from the game is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a continuation rate indicating a rate (probability) at which the continuation used in the ART continuous lottery of the ART mode after the transition is achieved when generating the right to transition to the ART mode.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART continuous lottery when the start of the variable game in which the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)” is instructed during the ART mode. This ART continuous lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either [continue] or [non-continue] so that the continuation rate determined when the right to transition to the ART mode is generated. The sub-control CPU 41a grasps the continuation rate used in the ART continuous lottery from information (flag or the like) indicating the continuation rate stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to continue the ART mode when deriving the result of [continuation (winning)] in the ART continuous lottery. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not generate the right to continue the ART mode when deriving the result of [non-continuation (non-winning)] in the ART continuous lottery.

  Then, when deriving [continuation] in the ART continuous lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a again adds [50 (times)] as the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c as the continuation condition is satisfied (re-addition). And the production state is controlled so as to continue the ART mode.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 41a for sub-control derives [non-continuation] in the ART continuous lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the high-precision RT effect is performed as the continuation condition is not satisfied. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the high-accuracy RT effect and then performs the high-accuracy RT effect until the occurrence of bell spillage. The sub-control CPU 41a sets [0 (zero)] to the ART flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c in accordance with the highly accurate RT effect.

  During such a high-definition RT effect, the sub-control CPU 41a is not setting the remaining G number, so that the display content of the effect display device 14 is not performed so that the bell navigation effect is not performed even if the bell role is won. To control. That is, during the high-precision RT production, the production is performed so that it is difficult to avoid the bell spill and the bell winning is difficult. In addition, during high-definition RT production, bell spillage is avoided in a scene where the player happens to push in the correct order when he wins the bell role, and a bell win occurs. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal mode in response to a bell spill during the high-definition RT effect. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game.

  In this embodiment, the ART mode is controlled by dividing a variable game corresponding to the remaining G number (grant number) into unit periods with one set. Further, depending on the establishment of the ART mode continuation condition, the control is again made to the ART mode for one set after the passage (digestion) of the ART mode for one set. Further, when the ART mode continuation condition is not established, the ART mode control is terminated with the progress (digestion) of one set of ART mode as an end condition. Therefore, in this embodiment, the continuation (loop) of the ART mode, that is, the extension is realized by the establishment of the continuation condition of the ART mode.

Next, the contents of control in the BN mode will be described.
When the gaming state is a BN game, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the BN mode. Note that the start of the control in the BN mode is synchronized with the start of the BN game in the gaming state because it is triggered by the winning of each BN role (BN winning).

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to notify the number corresponding to the BN payout number managed by the main control CPU 40a during the BN mode. The sub-control CPU 41a can grasp the number corresponding to the BN payout number based on the winning result instructed by various commands.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during the BN mode (during BN mode control). During the BN mode, the winning of a bell role and winning are mainly instructed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the “bell navigation effect” is performed in the same manner as in the ART mode when the winning of the bell role is instructed. That is, during the BN mode, an effect is performed so as to assist mainly in winning the winning of a bell. In the BN mode, when a player wins a bell role, a player wins a bell winning by following the bell navigation effect.

  In addition, when the end of the BN game is instructed, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift from the next variable game to the normal mode or the preparation mode based on the setting state of the ART flag. In this case, the gaming state is shifted to the low probability RT game.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal mode if there is no ART flag when the BN mode ends (BN end). On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the preparation mode if the ART flag is present when the BN mode ends (BN end). During the preparation mode for shifting in this way, since the sub-control CPU 41a has an ART flag, it has acquired the right to shift to the ART mode, so that a highly reliable RT game, that is, the ART mode is entered. It will guide the player.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, during the ART mode, not only the gaming state is a high-definition RT game but also an effect (bell navigation effect) for the player to play a game advantageously in a variable game is performed. State. As a result, in the ART mode, the number of scenes where the player holds (injects) medals is reduced, and the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted, and the acquisition of award medals based on the bell winning is assisted. For this reason, it becomes an advantageous state for the player during the ART mode.

  In addition, during the normal mode, it is possible to obtain a chance to lead to a high-definition RT game through the ART rush lottery. However, an effect for the player to play the game advantageously in the variable game (bell navigation effect or SIN This is a state in which no navigation effect is performed. Thereby, in the normal mode, special spilling and bell winning are not assisted. For this reason, during the normal mode, the player cannot be brought into an advantageous state for the player.

  Further, during the preparation mode, while the gaming state is a low-probability RT game, an effect (bell navigation effect or SIN navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. As a result, in the preparation mode, special SIN spilling, that is, the transition to the high-accuracy RT game is assisted, and the acquisition of the prize medal based on the bell winning is assisted. For this reason, during the preparation mode, the player is in an advantageous state (advantageous gaming state). Further, during the preparation mode, the player can be guided to a state advantageous to the player.

Note that during the high-definition RT effect, an effect (bell navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is not performed, but since the game state is the high-definition RT game, the player is in an advantageous state.
Accordingly, in the present embodiment, a state that is advantageous for the player (advantageous gaming state) is from the preparation mode to the normal mode through the high-definition RT effect.

  Further, during the BN mode, the game state is BN game, and an effect (bell navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. Thereby, in the BN mode, a prize medal winning based on a bell winning is assisted. For this reason, during the BN mode, the player can continuously obtain award medals based on the winning of the bell role.

  Further, in the present embodiment, during the ART mode that is in the high-definition RT game, the remaining G number of the ART mode in this set is added and added in relation to the winning of each BN role (hereinafter referred to as “ART addition”). ) May be given a benefit that is advantageous to the player. Hereinafter, processing performed by the main control CPU 40a and the sub control CPU 41a regarding ART addition, that is, the provision of a privilege will be described.

First, an outline of ART addition will be described.
In this embodiment, if the game state is a high-definition RT game (the production state is in the ART mode) on condition that the winning content is duplicated winning of each BN role and 4 bell roles during the game, the first In some cases, the start of the variable game by the operation of the start lever 22 is stagnated (hereinafter referred to as “freeze”). During this freeze, each reel is accompanied by a change or stop (operation) in the production, and the stop of [7 Align], which is an extra stop (a specific stop result) based on the stop in the production. As a trigger, it is possible to execute a freeze effect (hereinafter also referred to as “additional dance”) as a stagnant effect that adds ART. In addition, during this freeze, it is possible to execute a freeze effect (hereinafter also referred to as “development opportunity”) as a start notification effect that causes each reel to change or stop on the effect and encourage the execution of the extra dance. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the winning content is a winning combination of red BN and 4 bells (red BN + 4 bells), the player is allowed to perform a random dance with a freeze at a rate of 100%. ing. During the freeze in this case, the performance is developed in a flow where the extra dance is performed after the stop of [Addition of red 7], which is a stoppage for the extra dance preparation (a special stop result and a special stop result) to be described later. The

  In addition, when the winning content is a double winning combination of white BN and 4 bells (white BN + 4 bells), a 20% (1/5) rate of freezing will be added to perform random dance. ing. During the freeze in this case, after the stop of the development preparation stop (predetermined stop result), which will be described later, after stopping the [Red 7 shift], the additional dance stop stop (the predetermined stop result) As a result of the development chance accompanied by the reach fluctuation by each reel, whether or not it becomes [special stop result] [white 7 assortment] is produced, the production is developed in the flow of the extra random dance. Note that whether or not to perform an extra random dance at a rate of 20% (1/5) is determined by an execution lottery described later. If the winning content is a white BN role and a duplicated 4-bell role (white BN + 4 bells), 80% (4/5) is not accompanied by freezing, that is, no extra random dance is performed. It is like that.

  In addition, in the case where the winning content is a single winning role of 4 bells, it is accompanied by a freeze but is not allowed to perform a random dance. During the freeze in this case, after the development preparation stop (predetermined stop), which will be described later, is stopped, the development chances are given, and as a result, the production develops in a flow that does not cause an extra random dance. Is done.

  In addition, if the winning content is a double winning combination of each BN role and 4 bells, if the gaming state is in the low probability RT game, freezing will not be accompanied, that is, so as not to carry out the extra dance and development opportunities It has become. For this reason, the winning content (winning role) indicating the overlapping winning combination of the red BN role and the four-bell role is a specific effect decisive role in which the execution of the extra dance as the specific effect is determined when the gaming state is a high-definition RT game. And it becomes a specific role classified as a special species. On the other hand, the winning content (winning role) indicating the double winning of the white BN role and the four-bell role is a bonus effect execution based on a lottery execution when the game state is a high-definition RT game, It is a lottery combination and a specific combination classified as a specific type.

First, the processing performed by the main control CPU 40a regarding the ART addition will be described.
The main control CPU 40a repeatedly performs processing based on the main control program for each predetermined control cycle, thereby sequentially performing various processes according to the extra dance setting process shown in FIG. 10 and the extra dance execution process shown in FIG. .

  That is, in the extra random setting process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the winning combination of the red BN role and the four bell role (4 bells + red BN) is won in the winning lottery (step S10). If this determination result is negative, the process proceeds to step S20. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S10 is affirmative (when 4 bells + red BN is won), the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the high-probability RT game is being controlled (high-probability RT). (Step S11), and if this determination result is negative, the extra random setting process is terminated.

  When the determination result in step S11 is affirmative (when the high-accuracy RT is being performed), the main control CPU 40a performs various processes relating to the addition turbulence as a result of performing the processes in subsequent steps S12 to S17. That is, when the process proceeds to step S12, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a specific operation (hereinafter also referred to as a “first right operation”) in which the stop button 23R is first stopped is performed, If this determination result is negative, the extra dance setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S12 is affirmative (in the case of the first right operation), the main control CPU 40a allows the stop display of [Red 7 assortment] as a stoppage for adding extra dance, and the stop operation by the player Is performed at a timing to stop and display [Red Seven] on each reel, [Red 7 set] is stopped and displayed (red 7 set stop) (step S13). In this case, [Red 7 assortment] is stopped and displayed while winning the four winning bells. In this way, the main control CPU 40a that permits the stop display of [Red 7 assortment] functions as a stop permission control means.

Here, a description will be given of the control performed by the main control CPU 40a in order to stop and display [Red 7 assortment].
The main control CPU 40a is operated at the timing when the stop button 23R is first operated on the condition that the red BN combination and the four-bell combination are selected, and the stop operation by the player stops and displays [Red Seven] on each reel. If there is, as shown in FIG. 14B, [Red Seven / Red Seven / Red Seven] is stopped and displayed on the non-winning line L5. In the present embodiment, such a combination of symbols that forms a non-winning line by [Red Seven / Red Seven / Red Seven] is called [Red 7 set]. Depending on the stop display of this [Red 7 set], it may be added later. It is informed that ransom is performed. Further, at the time of the stop display of [Red 7 assortment], a 4-bell winning at the winning line L2 also occurs. The main control CPU 40a first operates the stop button 23R on condition that the red BN combination and the four-bell combination are won, but the stop operation by the player displays [Red Seven] on each reel. If it is not time to perform, [Red 7 Align] is not stopped and displayed. Also in this case, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative regarding the determination result of step S12.

  On the other hand, the CPU 40a for main control, when the other than the stop button 23R is operated for the first time on condition that the red BN combination and the four-bell combination are elected, regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player [set of 7 red] The stop eye which becomes a 4 bell winning prize not including is stopped and displayed.

  Returning to the description of the extra dance setting process, when [Red 7 Align] is stopped and displayed, the main control CPU 40a operates the start lever 22 in a state where the game can be started, that is, an operation for starting the next variable game (next game). In response to (Start) (Step S14), freeze is set (Step S15). As described above, the main control CPU 40a is operating in the high-probability RT game, the red BN role and the four-bell winning combination, and the stop button 23R is first operated in the overlapping winning variable game. This is the establishment of the specific condition, and the stagnation control (freeze control) for setting the freeze is performed in response to the first operation of the start lever 22 after the specific condition is established. As a result, the main control CPU 40a is set in a state in which it is possible to perform the extra random behavior. The main control CPU 40a outputs a freeze instruction command for instructing the freeze setting to the sub control CPU 41a in accordance with the freeze setting. This freeze instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to grasp the setting of the freeze.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs an extra random execution process (step S16) shown in FIG. 11 which is a process for executing the extra random dance. Note that the added random dance execution process will be described later. Then, the main control CPU 40a, as a result of performing the extra dance execution process, executes the extra dance, and then cancels the freeze upon completion (step S17), and ends the extra dance setting process. The main control CPU 40a outputs a freeze release instruction command for instructing the release of the freeze to the sub control CPU 41a in accordance with the release of the freeze. This freeze release instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to grasp the release of the freeze.

  After that, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to start the fluctuation (normal rotation) of each reel based on the operation of the start lever 22 in step S14, similarly to the case where the freeze is not set, and cancels the freeze. Therefore, a stop operation by each stop button is made acceptable.

  In addition, since the determination result in step S10 is negative (4 bells + red BN is not won), when the process proceeds to step S20, the main control CPU 40a wins the white BN role and the 4 bells winning combination ( 4 bell + white BN) is determined. If this determination result is negative, the add-on dance setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S20 is affirmative (when four bells + white BN is won), the main control CPU 40a performs an execution lottery for lottery whether or not to execute the extra random dance. This execution lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to “winning” and “non-winning”. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, this execution lottery is performed by distributing random numbers so that the “winning” lottery result is “20% (1/5)”. When the execution lottery is performed, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the result of “winning” is derived in the execution lottery (winning the execution lottery (1/5)) (step S21). In the case of negative, the extra dance setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S21 is affirmative (when winning in the execution lottery (1/5)), the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the high probability RT game is being controlled (during the high probability RT). A determination is made (step S22), and if the determination result is negative, the extra random setting process is terminated.

  When the determination result in step S22 is affirmative (when the high-accuracy RT is being performed), the main control CPU 40a performs various processes related to the addition turbulence as a result of performing the processes in subsequent steps S23 to S30. That is, when proceeding to step S23, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a specific operation (first right operation) in which the stop button 23R is first stopped is performed, and when this determination result is negative. Finishes the adding random dance setting process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S23 is affirmative (in the case of the first right operation), the main control CPU 40a allows a stop display of [Red 7 shift] as the development preparation stop eye, and the stop operation by the player If the timing is the timing at which [Red Seven] is stopped and displayed on each reel, [Red 7 shift] is stopped (red 7 shift stopped) (step S24). In this case, [Red 7 Shift] is stopped and displayed while winning the four winning bells.

Here, the control performed by the main control CPU 40a to stop and display [Red 7 shift] will be described.
The main control CPU 40a is operated at the timing when the stop button 23R is first operated on the condition that the double winning combination of the white BN role and the four-bell role is performed, and the stop operation by the player stops and displays [Red Seven] on each reel. If there is, as shown in FIG. 14C, [Watermelon (with red seven) / Red seven / Red seven] is stopped and displayed on the non-winning line L5. [Watermelon (with red seven)] means [watermelon] in which [red seven] is located above [watermelon]. In the present embodiment, such a symbol combination that forms a non-winning line by [watermelon (with red seven), red seven, red seven] is called [red 7 gap], and this [red 7 gap] is stopped and displayed. Is informed that there may be a chance of development after that, and that there is a possibility that an extra dance will be performed. At the time of the stop display of [Red 7 shift], a 4-bell winning is also generated on the winning line L2. Note that the main control CPU 40a first operates the stop button 23R on condition that the white BN combination and the four-bell combination are won, but the stop operation by the player displays [Red Seven] on each reel. If it is not time to perform, [Red 7 shift] is not stopped and displayed. Also in this case, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative regarding the determination result of step S23.

  On the other hand, the CPU 40a for main control, when a player other than the stop button 23R is operated for the first time, on condition that the white BN combination and the four-bell combination are selected, [Red 7 shift] regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player. The stop eye which becomes a 4 bell winning prize not including is stopped and displayed.

  Returning to the description of the extra dance setting process, when [Red 7 shift] is stopped and displayed, the main control CPU 40a operates the start lever 22, that is, an operation for starting the next variable game (next game) in a state where the game can be started. At the start (step S25), freeze is set (step S26). In this way, the main control CPU 40a is in a high-probability RT game, is a winner of the white BN role and the 4-bell role, and is selected for the run lottery. The first operation is defined as establishment of the specific condition, and the freeze is set in response to the first operation of the start lever 22 after the establishment of the specific condition. As a result, the main control CPU 40a is set in a state in which it is possible to perform the extra random behavior. The main control CPU 40a outputs a freeze instruction command for instructing the freeze setting to the sub control CPU 41a in accordance with the freeze setting.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a starts reach variation related to the development chance with production variation or stop for each reel (step S27), and temporarily adds [white 7 assortment] as the stoppage of the extra random dance. To stop (stop white 7 alignment) (step S28).

Here, a description will be given of the control performed by the main control CPU 40a in order to stop the “white 7 alignment” due to the reach fluctuation accompanying the development opportunity.
During the reach fluctuation, the main control CPU 40a rotates each reel in the forward direction as shown in FIG. 15B, and then, as shown in FIGS. 15C and 15D, the left reel intermediate stop position D2. After the left reel 13L is temporarily stopped so as to stop [White Seven], the right reel 13R is temporarily stopped so as to stop [White Seven] at the right reel middle stop position D8. As a result, the same [White Seven] is temporarily stopped at the middle stage of the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R, and the [White Seven] is also temporarily stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel 13C. It is notified that the “white seven” is in a straight line in the middle stage (winning line L1) of the reel, that is, the state of “listening”. Further, during the “listening” state, the main control CPU 40a repeats the forward and backward rotation operations of the intermediate reel 13C in small increments as shown in FIG. D5 is accompanied by a reel winding operation for determining whether or not to stop [White Seven]. Note that the rotation from the bottom to the top of the fluoroscopic window 16 is reversed when the rotation during the rotation operation of the reel of the variable game without a freeze effect is a normal rotation.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a temporarily stops [White Seven / White Seven / White Seven] on the winning line L1, as shown in FIG. (Derivation of [success] described later). In the present embodiment, such a symbol combination that forms a winning line by [white seven, white seven, white seven] is called [white 7 set], and depending on the temporary stop of this [white 7 set] It is informed that the extra dance is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the number of frames (one stop position of the fluoroscopic window 16 is rotated by one unit) immediately before the rotation is determined in order to temporarily stop [White 7 Alignment] as a result of the reach fluctuation. Yes. For this reason, when [Red 7 shift] is not stopped and displayed in step S24 of the extra dance setting process, different stop eyes may be temporarily stopped even in a scene where [White 7 alignment] should be temporarily stopped. is there.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs an extra random execution process (step S29) shown in FIG. 11 which is a process for executing the extra random dance. Note that the added random dance execution process will be described later. Then, the main control CPU 40a, as a result of performing the extra dance execution process, executes the extra dance, and then cancels the freeze state along with the completion (step S30), and ends the extra dance setting process. The main control CPU 40a outputs a freeze release instruction command for instructing the release of the freeze to the sub control CPU 41a in accordance with the release of the freeze.

  After that, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to start the fluctuation (normal rotation) of each reel based on the operation of the start lever 22 in step S25, similarly to the case where no freeze is set, and cancels the freeze. Therefore, a stop operation by each stop button is made acceptable.

  If the determination result in step S20 is negative (when 4 bells + white BN are not won), the main control CPU 40a is the same as steps S20 to S23 if it is won for the single winning of 4 bells. The freeze is set and the reach fluctuation is caused during the freeze. Further, in this case, the main control CPU 40a temporarily moves [White Seven / White Seven / White Seven] to the winning line L1, as shown in FIG. (The derivation of [failure] which will be described later). In the present embodiment, it is informed that, due to the temporary stop of the symbol combination that does not form the winning line by such [White Seven / White Seven / White Seven], no additional dance is performed thereafter. After that, the main control CPU 40a executes the reach variation, and then releases the freeze upon completion (derivation of “failure”). The main control CPU 40a outputs a freeze release instruction command for instructing the release of the freeze to the sub control CPU 41a in accordance with the release of the freeze. As a result, in this embodiment, it is possible to make the player have expectations for duplicate winning with the white BN role and ART addition even when the four-bell role is alone.

  Further, when the process proceeds to steps S16 and S29 of the extra dance setting process, the main control CPU 40a performs the processes of steps S40 to S47 of the extra execution process, and performs various processes related to the execution of the extra dance.

  In other words, in the extra random execution process, the main control CPU 40a determines an operation pattern indicating a change or stop operation mode of each reel accompanied by the extra random dance (step S40). When determining the operation pattern in step S40, the main control CPU 40a performs a pattern lottery for drawing one of a plurality of types (in this embodiment, nine types) of operation patterns shown in FIG. This pattern lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to each of the operation patterns P1 to P9. This pattern lottery is performed by assigning random numbers so that each of the operation patterns P1 to P9 is determined at the same rate. Then, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) information (such as a flag) that can specify an operation pattern in the main control RAM 40c. The main control CPU 40a outputs a pattern instruction command for instructing the type of the determined operation pattern to the sub control CPU 41a in accordance with the determination of the operation pattern. The pattern instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to grasp the type of the operation pattern in accordance with the determination of the operation pattern. The main control CPU 40a that determines the operation pattern in this way functions as an operation mode determination means.

Here, the operation mode of each reel in the extra random movement indicated by each operation pattern will be described.
In the present embodiment, among the movement modes to stop or change the production of each reel during the uplifting dance, [Red Seven / Red Seven / Red Seven] or [White Seven / White Seven / White] The operation mode for temporarily stopping [Seven] of [Seven] is predetermined and patterned and managed. In the present embodiment, such a symbol combination that forms the winning line L1 by [Red Seven / Red Seven / Red Seven] or [White Seven / White Seven / White Seven] is referred to as [7 sets]. ] To indicate the addition of ART.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in each of the operation patterns P1 to P9, [7 set] shown in FIGS. 16D and 16E is temporarily stopped once (minimum) to three times (maximum). The type of stop eye to be stopped when stopping temporarily is defined for each.

  That is, the operation pattern P1 is configured such that [7 alignment] is performed once and [7 alignment] by [white seven] is temporarily stopped (white 7). Further, the operation pattern P2 is configured such that [7 alignment] is performed once and [7 alignment] by [Red Seven] is temporarily stopped (red 7).

  The operation pattern P3 is configured to repeat [7 align] twice, and [7 align] by [white seven] is temporarily stopped twice (white 7 → white 7). Yes. In the operation pattern P4, [7 alignment] is performed twice, and [7 alignment] by [white seven] is temporarily stopped in the order of [7 alignment] by [red seven] (white 7 → red 7). ) Is configured as follows. Further, the operation pattern P5 is configured such that [7 alignment] is performed twice, and [7 alignment] by [Red Seven] is temporarily stopped twice (red 7 → red 7). Yes.

  In the operation pattern P6, [7 alignment] is 3 times, and [7 alignment] by [white seven] is temporarily stopped 3 times (white 7 → white 7 → white 7). It is configured. In the operation pattern P7, [7 set] is 3 times, [7 set] by [white seven] is temporarily stopped twice, and [7 set] by [red seven] is further repeated. It is configured to temporarily stop in order (white 7 → white 7 → red 7). Also, the motion pattern P8 is [7 Align] three times, [7 Align] by [White Seven] is temporarily stopped, and [7 Align] by [Red Seven] is temporarily repeated twice in order. (7 white → red 7 → red 7). In the operation pattern P9, [7 alignment] is 3 times, and [7 alignment] by [Red Seven] is temporarily stopped 3 times (red 7 → red 7 → red 7). It is configured.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, after the first [7 set] is temporarily stopped by the extra random dance, each operation pattern is set so that it can be expected to stop further [7 set] regardless of the type. Is configured.

  Note that the operation pattern is such that each reel is rotated forward or reverse as an operation mode, and as a result, the stop eye to be temporarily stopped is rotated by a number of frames (one stop position of the fluoroscopic window 16 is one unit) immediately before the rotation. It is determined by what. For this reason, if [Red 7 alignment] is not stopped and displayed in step S13 of the extra random setting process, or [Red 7 misalignment] is not stopped and displayed in step S24, the stop is different from [7 alignment]. Eyes may be temporarily stopped.

  Returning to the explanation of the extra dance execution process, when the operation pattern is determined, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the predetermined time of 4 seconds has elapsed (step S41). Variations in production of each reel related to random dance are started (random dance variation start) (step S43). In step S41, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not 4 seconds have elapsed from the start of the next game in step S14 when the process proceeds from step S15. It is determined whether or not 4 seconds have elapsed since the 7th stop. In step S41, the main control CPU 40a determines whether four seconds have elapsed using the timer function of the main control RAM 40c.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S41 is negative (when 4 seconds have not elapsed), the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the start lever 22 has been operated during the elapse of 4 seconds (step S42). If this determination result is affirmative, a change in production of each reel related to the extra dance is started (start of fluctuation fluctuation) (step S43). In step S42, the main control CPU 40a detects the operation of the start lever 22. However, the detection does not start the variation game, but the variation in the production of each reel, that is, the production of each reel related to the addition dance. Start the change. The main control CPU 40a instructs the detection of the operation of the start lever 22 in accordance with the operation of the start lever 22, and outputs a turbulence fluctuation start instruction command for instructing the start of the extra turbulence to the sub control CPU 41a. . This random dance change start instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to grasp the start of the production change of each reel related to the random dance change.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S42 is negative (when the start lever 22 is not operated), the main control CPU 40a returns to step S41 until each of the processes of steps S41 and S42 becomes affirmative. Repeat repeatedly. That is, after the process of step S40, the main control CPU 40a starts a variation in the production of each reel related to the uplift, with the upper limit of 4 seconds from the process as a reference (step S14 or step S28). The main control CPU 40a outputs a random change start instruction command to the sub control CPU 41a as 4 seconds elapse.

  For this reason, if the main control CPU 40a does not detect the operation of the start lever 22 after the processing of step S40, the main control CPU 40a has an effect on the performance of each reel related to the extra turbulence after the upper limit of 4 seconds elapses from each reference processing. Start the change. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a detects the operation of the start lever 22 as the operation means after the process of step S40, the upper limit of 4 seconds is shortened from the respective reference processes to the detection of the operation of the start lever 22. Then, the change in the production of each reel related to the extra random dance is started.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the variation start time from the start of freeze setting by the operation of the start lever 22 after the stop display of [Red 7 assortment] to the start of the variation on the production of each reel related to the addition randomness is maximized. While this is set to 4 seconds, such a change start time can be shortened by operating the start lever 22. Further, in the present embodiment, the variation start time from the temporary stop of [White 7 assortment] during the freeze to the start of the variation on the production of each reel related to the extra dance is set to a maximum of 4 seconds. Such a change start time can be shortened by operating the start lever 22. In this way, the main control CPU 40a that shortens the fluctuation start time until the start of the fluctuation in the production of each reel related to the extra random dance functions as a shortening control means.

  Subsequently, when the change in the effect of each reel related to the extra random dance is started, the main control CPU 40a becomes the extra stop eye based on the operation pattern stored in the main control RAM 40c determined in step S40 [7. Alignment] is temporarily stopped (7 Alignment Stops) (step S44). In step S44, based on the operation pattern, the main control CPU 40a causes each reel to perform a change in performance or a random change that causes a stop so as to temporarily stop [7 sets] 1-3 times. In step S44, the main control CPU 40a performs predetermined fluctuations (for example, 1....) When performing random fluctuation that temporarily stops [7 sets] a plurality of times (2, 3 times) based on the operation pattern. The change or stop in the production of each reel is controlled so as to temporarily stop [7 sets] at intervals of 5 seconds).

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs an additional random lottery as the release lottery (step S45), and further determines whether or not the result of the continuous lottery is continued (step S46). When this determination result is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the extra dance execution process as the establishment of the release condition, and then proceeds to steps S17 and S30 of the extra dance setting process, thereby ending the dance fluctuation related to the extra dance. To release the freeze. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S46 is affirmative (in the case of continuation), the main control CPU 40a repeats the processing of steps S40 to S46, thereby further continuing the turbulent fluctuation related to the additional turbulence and setting the freeze. Let it continue.

  Since the determination result in step S46 is negative (non-continuation), the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not 4 seconds, which is a predetermined time, has elapsed as in step S41 when releasing the freeze, The freeze is released after the elapse of 4 seconds. During the elapse of 4 seconds, the main control CPU 40a detects the operation of the start lever 22 as in step S42, but does not release the freeze by this detection. On the other hand, when the operation of the start lever 22 is detected during the elapse of 4 seconds, the main control CPU 40a outputs an operation detection command for instructing detection of the operation of the start lever 22 to the sub control CPU 41a. This operation detection command causes the sub-control board 41 (sub-control CPU 41a) to grasp the operation of the start lever 22 from the end of the turbulent fluctuation related to the added-up turbulence until the release of the freeze.

Here, the control performed by the main control CPU 40a in the continuous lottery of the extra random dance in steps S45 and S46 will be described.
In step S44, the main control CPU 40a controls the variation or stop of each reel related to the extra random dance, and as a result, the final [7 assortment] is temporarily stopped and the extra random dance is continuously drawn. The last [7 set] is the first [7 set] for the operation patterns P1 and P2, the second [7 set] for the operation patterns P3 to P5, and the operation pattern P6 to P9. It means the third [7 set]. The continuous lottery for such extra random dance continues at a rate of 50% (1/2), that is, assigns random numbers to either [continue] or [non-continue] so that step S46 is positive. Is called. The CPU 40a for main control that performs the random lottery for the random dance in this way functions as a release lottery means.

  The main control CPU 40a, when deriving [continuation (winning)] in the continuation lottery of the extra random dance, sets the continuation condition of the extra random dance, that is, the determination result in step S46 is affirmative. On the other hand, when the CPU 40a for main control derives [non-continuation (non-winning)] in the continuation lottery of the extra random dance, the main control CPU 40a denies the continuation condition of the extra random dance, that is, the determination result in step S46.

  Further, when the continuation right of the extra random dance is generated and the determination result in step S46 is affirmative (in the case of continuation), the main control CPU 40a returns to step S40 to determine the operation pattern again, and based on the determined operation pattern The reels are controlled to change or stop so as to perform a random dance.

  In the present embodiment, the control is controlled to be an extra random dance with the operation mode based on the operation pattern as one set. Further, depending on the establishment of the continuation condition for the extra random dance, after the progress (digestion) of the extra random dance for one set, control is again performed to the extra random dance for one set. Further, when the continuation condition for the extra random dance is not satisfied, the control of the extra random dance is terminated with the progress (digestion) of the extra random dance for one set as an end condition. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the continuation (loop), that is, the extension of the additional turbulence is realized by the establishment of the continuation condition for the additional turbulence.

  In the present embodiment, an effect time longer than the wait time is set as the effect time related to the freeze effect (additional dance and development chance). For this reason, after the freeze effect is accompanied, rotation of each reel for playing the variable game is started in a situation where the wait time has elapsed. While the freeze effect is being executed (during freezing), the start of the variable game is performed by operating the start lever 22, but each reel is stopped by operating each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R. The operation cannot be performed, and the start of the variable game is stagnated accordingly. The main control CPU 40a that controls the setting and release of the freeze in this way functions as a stagnation control means.

  Next, processing performed by the sub-control CPU 41a regarding the ART addition will be described. In the following, description will be made on the assumption that the gaming state is the ART mode during the high-definition RT game.

The sub-control CPU 41a performs a predetermined process in accordance with the extra dance setting process and the extra dance execution process performed by the main control CPU 40a.
That is, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to receive a single winning combination of four bells, a redundant winning combination of red BN and four bells, or a redundant winning combination of white BN and four bells, [Red 7 navigation effect] ], The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the “red 7 navigation effect” to be performed for the scene in which the main control CPU 40a allows the “red 7 alignment” or “red 7 shift” stop display. The sub-control CPU 41a does not perform [Red 7 Navi Effect] when the gaming state is the ART mode during the low probability RT game.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), the sub-control CPU 41a displays images simulating stop buttons that prompt the player to stop each stop button in the order of right → middle → left. The numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are assigned in order, and the display contents of the effect display device 14 are controlled so as to perform a red 7 navigation effect in which “aim for red 7” is displayed.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to perform the single winning of the 4-bell role or the overlapping winning of the white BN role and the 4-bell role, when the freeze instruction command is input after accompanying the red 7 navigation effect, The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to cause [development reach effect] by the display effect related to the development opportunity. In this way, the sub control CPU 41a determines that the main control CPU 40a is the first right operation, and causes the extended reach effect to be triggered by the start of the freeze based on the operation of the start lever 22. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the development reach effect when the freeze instruction command is not input even after the red 7 navigation effect is accompanied.

Here, the development reach production will be described.
In the development reach production, as shown in FIG. 15A, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the effect image together with “development” and controls the display content of the production display device 14 so as to notify the start of the development opportunity. To do. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display contents of the effect display device 14 so as to display an image in which a plurality of types of effects are scrolled in the same number of columns as each reel.

  Subsequently, the sub-control CPU 41a displays an image for stopping and displaying “white 7 image” imitating [White Seven] in the left column among the symbols on the effect, and then on the right column among the symbols on the effect. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to display an image in which “white 7 image” imitating [White 7] is stopped and displayed. As a result, an image in which the same “white 7 image” is stopped and displayed is displayed on the left and right columns of the effect display device 14, and a “white 7 image” simulating [white seven] is also stopped and displayed on the middle row. As a result, it is notified that [white 7 image] is in a state immediately before being aligned, that is, in a “listening” state. Further, as shown in FIG. 15 (e), the sub-control CPU 41a repeats the up and down movements of the symbols on the middle row in the “listening” state, while the middle row [white 7 The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to display an image of a symbol-swinged image asking whether or not to stop [image].

  Subsequently, when the overlapping winning combination of the white BN role and the four-bell role is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a displays an image of the pattern-scratched image during the development reach effect, and as shown in FIG. 15 (f). An image to be stopped and displayed with [White 7 images] arranged in a straight line is displayed, and the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to derive the result of [Success]. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the main control CPU 40a to perform an uplifting behavior, so that the result of [success] is derived in the development reach effect for the scene where [white 7 alignment] is temporarily stopped. . For this reason, depending on the result of [Success] derived for the scene where [White 7 assortment] is temporarily stopped, it is notified that the extra random dance is performed thereafter.

  On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a, when the single winning of the four-bell role is instructed, after displaying the image of the pattern-scrambled image during the development reach production, as shown in FIG. The display contents of the effect display device 14 are controlled so as to display the images that are not displayed in a line and display the images, and to derive the result of the advanced reach effect [failure]. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a derives the result of [failure] in the development reach effect for the scene where [white 7 assortment] is not temporarily stopped because the main control CPU 40a does not perform the extra turbulence. Let For this reason, depending on the result of [failure] derived for a scene in which [white 7 assortment] is not temporarily stopped, it is informed that no additional dance is performed thereafter.

  The sub-control CPU 41a inputs a freeze release instruction command because the main control CPU 40a releases the freeze without causing the turbulent fluctuation related to the added-up dance after deriving [failure] in the development reach production. become. Subsequently, when the freeze release instruction command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the display contents of the effect display device 14 so as to perform the display effect (normal effect) based on the operation of the start lever 22 as in the case where the freeze is not set. Control.

  In this embodiment, it is configured such that a display effect by a symbol on the effect is performed in accordance with a change or stop in the effect of each reel performed in the see-through window 16. In other words, the development chance is developed by cooperation between the reach fluctuation accompanied by the change or stop of the production of each reel and the development reach production performed in accordance with the reach fluctuation. In this way, the main control CPU 40a that controls the change or stop in the production of each reel related to the development opportunity functions as a stagnant production control means.

  Returning to the description of the control of the sub-control CPU 41a, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the display related to the uplifting after accompanied by the development reach effect when the double winning combination of the white BN role and the four-belt role is instructed. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to perform [addition effect] by effect. In this way, the sub control CPU 41a causes the main control CPU 40a to perform an extra effect for a scene in which [White 7 Alignment] is temporarily stopped due to the reach fluctuation related to the development chance.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to overlap the red BN role and the four-bell role, when the freeze instruction command is input after the red 7 navigation effect, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the display effect related to the extra random dance. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to perform [addition effect]. In this way, the sub control CPU 41a causes the main control CPU 40a to perform an extra effect for the scene in which [Red 7 assortment] is stopped and displayed.

Here, the addition effect will be described.
16 (a) and 16 (b), the sub-control CPU 41a displays an image of “lever strike” together with “additional ransom”, and notifies the start of the extra ransom. 14 display contents are controlled.

  Subsequently, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the pattern instruction command, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the operation mode of the extra dance to be performed. Subsequently, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a random change start instruction command, as shown in FIGS. 16D and 16E, at the timing when [7 sets] are temporarily stopped based on the specified operation pattern. In addition, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to display an image of the number of times the ART is added in the extra effect, and notify the result of the ART extra. In addition, the notification of the result of adding ART notifies the number of times of accumulating the number of times of adding ART when [7 set] is repeated. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the number of times to add the ART each time [7 sets] is temporarily stopped based on the operation pattern, according to the type of [7 sets] to be temporarily stopped.

Here, the control performed by the sub-control CPU 41a to determine the number of times to add the ART will be described.
As shown in FIG. 17, the sub-control CPU 41a performs an addition number lottery for each of the [7 sets] temporarily stopped based on the operation pattern instructed by the pattern instruction command. This extra number lottery determines the ART addition of the number of times “10G (10 times)” or “20G (20 times)” when [7 Alignment] by [White Seven] is temporarily stopped, while [Red When [7 Align] by [Seven] is temporarily stopped, the ART addition of the number of times of “30G (30 times)” or “50G (50 times)” is determined.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, compared with [7 set] by [White Seven], [7 set] by [Red Seven] makes it possible to expect a larger number of ART additions. In the operation pattern of the present embodiment, after [7 Align] by [Red Seven], [7 Align] by [White Seven] is not set, so [7 Align] The larger the number of ART additions, the higher the number of ARTs that can be expected.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the player of the number of times of ART addition determined by the number-of-additions lottery at the timing when [7 Align] is temporarily stopped based on the operation pattern. Control display content. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a adds ART at a predetermined timing (for example, every 1.5 seconds) when an operation pattern for temporarily stopping [7 sets] a plurality of times (a few times) is instructed. Control is performed to notify the cumulative number of times.

  In the present embodiment, the display effect is configured in accordance with the change or stop in the effect of each reel performed in the see-through window 16. That is, the extra random dance is developed by the cooperation of the random fluctuation that causes each reel to change or stop in the production, and the extra production performed in accordance with the random fluctuation. In this way, the main control CPU 40a that controls the fluctuation in the production of each reel related to the extra dance functions as a stagnant production control means, and the sub control CPU 41a that performs control for adding the ART during the extra dance. It functions as a privilege grant control means.

  The sub-control CPU 41a adds the number of ART additions determined by the addition number lottery to the remaining G number. In this case, the number of times may be added for each extra number lottery, or the accumulation in the extra random behavior for one set or a plurality of sets may be added together. Therefore, in this embodiment, the continuation (addition) of the ART mode, that is, the extension is realized by the addition of the extra number lottery by the extra random dance.

  Returning to the description of the control of the sub-control CPU 41a, the sub-control CPU 41a performs an extra effect based on the random fluctuation start instruction command, and then, as shown in FIGS. ”And“ Lever strike ”are displayed. Then, when the CPU 41a for sub control again inputs the random change start instruction command, the sub control CPU 41a performs control related to the additional effect again. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a again performs control related to the add-on effect for the scene in which the main control CPU 40a continues the add-on dance (freeze) by setting “continue” in the add-on random play lottery.

  On the other hand, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs an operation detection command instead of inputting the random fluctuation start instruction command again, the effect display device 14 blacks out the display screen and notifies the non-continuation (end) of the extra random dance. The display content is controlled, and control related to the end of the extra effect is performed. The sub control CPU 41a maintains the state until the input of the freeze release instruction command after blacking out the display screen. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a is concerned with the end of the extra effect for the scene in which the main control CPU 40a terminates the extra dance (cancels the freeze) by setting “non-continuation” in the extra lottery continuous lottery. Take control.

  Thereafter, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a freeze release instruction command, the “bonus” is displayed as an image, and the display contents of the effect display device 14 are displayed so as to perform a final effect informing the winning of each BN combination that has been won in duplicate. To control. As described above, the sub control CPU 41a causes the final effect to be performed from the scene in which the freeze is released in the situation where the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of each BN combination.

Next, the execution mode of the freeze effect will be described based on the display effect performed on the effect display device 14 and the operation of each reel performed on the see-through window 16 (reel).
First, the case of a single winning combination of four bells will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (a), in the scene where the stop operation of the stop button can be accepted because it is not freezing at the time of single winning of the role of four bells, the effect display device 14 displays the red 7 navigation effect. Done. That is, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), a red 7 navigation effect is performed on the effect display device 14, and the timing to stop and display [Red Seven] on each reel from the right reel 13R according to the red 7 navigation effect. When the stop operation is performed, [Red 7 shift] is stopped and displayed in the fluoroscopic window 16 as shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13A, in the scene where the freeze is set (freeze start) based on the operation of the start lever 22, an extended reach effect is performed on the effect display device 14, and the reach on the fluoroscopic window 16 is reached. Variations are made. That is, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15E, the effect display device 14 performs an extended reach effect based on the design on the effect, and also based on the change or operation on the effect of each reel in the see-through window 16. Reach variation occurs. Thereby, the development opportunity based on the development reach production and reach variation is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15A, at the timing of operation of the start lever 22, “Development” is displayed on the effect display device 14 to notify the start of the development reach effect. In addition, [Red 7 shift] is stopped and displayed in the fluoroscopic window 16. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), the effect display device 14 starts changing the design of the effect, and the see-through window 16 starts changing the effect of each reel. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 15C, [White 7 image] is stopped and displayed in the left column on the effect display device 14, and [White Seven] is temporarily stopped on the left reel 13 </ b> L in the fluoroscopic window 16. Is done. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 15 (d), [White 7 image] is stopped and displayed in the right column on the effect display device 14, that is, “Hearing” by [White 7 image] is stopped and displayed. Thus, [White Seven] is temporarily stopped on the right reel 13R, that is, “listening” by [White Seven] is temporarily stopped. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 15 (e), the effect display device 14 displays an image of a pattern-swinging image asking whether to stop [White 7 image] in the middle row, and also displays the middle reel in the perspective window 16. A reel turning operation is performed to ask 13C whether to temporarily stop [White Seven].

  After that, as shown in FIG. 15G, the result display device 14 derives the result of “failure” due to the development reach effect, and the white window 7 is not temporarily stopped in the fluoroscopic window 16. In this way, there is a development opportunity for notifying that no extra dance is performed.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the freeze is released, a stop button stop operation can be accepted, and a display effect as a normal effect is performed on the effect display device 14, and the fluoroscopic window 16. The fluctuation of each reel that is normally rotated is performed.

Next, the case where the winning combination of the white BN combination and the four-bell combination will be described.
As shown in FIG. 13 (b), when the winning combination of the white BN role and the four bell role is performed, the red display 7 navigation effect is performed on the effect display device 14 as in the case of the single winning of the four bell role. In the scene where the stop operation is performed according to the 7 navigation effect, [Red 7 shift] is stopped and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 16.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13B, in the scene where the freeze is set (freeze start) based on the operation of the start lever 22, the development display effect is performed on the effect display device 14, and the reach on the fluoroscopic window 16 is reached. Variations are made. That is, as in the case of a single winning combination of four bells, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15E, a development chance based on the development reach effect and reach variation is performed.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13B, the result display device 14 derives the result of “success” from the developed reach effect, and the suspending dance stop eye is temporarily stopped in the fluoroscopic window 16. That is, as shown in FIG. 15 (f), [White 7 image] arranged in a straight line is displayed on the effect display device 14, and [White Seven / White Seven / White Seven] is displayed on the winning line L 1 in the fluoroscopic window 16. Is temporarily stopped. In this way, a development opportunity for notifying that the extra random dance is performed is performed.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13 (b), an overriding effect is performed on the effect display device 14, and random fluctuations are performed on the fluoroscopic window 16. That is, as shown in FIGS. 16B to 16G, the effect display device 14 performs an extra effect based on the display effect, and the fluoroscopic window 16 causes a change in the effect on each reel or a random change due to a stop. Done. As a result, the extra dance based on the extra production and the random fluctuation is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), the effect display device 14 provides an effect of informing the start of the extra dance, and “white 7 assortment” is temporarily stopped in the fluoroscopic window 16. . Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 16C, when the start of the start lever 22 after 4 seconds has elapsed or before 4 seconds have elapsed, the effect display device 14 produces an effect of adding ART. At the same time, the see-through window 16 causes a variation in the effect of each reel (forward rotation). That is, when the start time of the change is shortened by operating the start lever 22 before 4 seconds elapses, the operation is expressed as if the change in the effect of each reel has been triggered by the operation of the start lever 22. It is done. Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 16D and 16E, an effect of notifying the number of ART additions is performed on the effect display device 14, and [Red Seven] or [White Seven] [ 7 Alignment] is temporarily stopped, and the notification of the ART addition count and the timing at which [7 Alignment] is temporarily stopped coincide with each other.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 16D and 16E, the effect of notifying the number of times the ART is added on the effect display device 14 and [7 assortments by [Red Seven] or [White Seven] in the fluoroscopic window 16 are provided. ] Is temporarily stopped once to three times based on the operation pattern.

  Then, in the scene in which the last [7 sets] based on the operation pattern is temporarily stopped (after three executions at the maximum), on the effect display device 14 based on the result of continuous lottery of the extra random dance performed by the main control CPU 40a. The production is performed, and each reel is changed in the see-through window 16. When the continuous lottery of the extra random dance performed by the main control CPU 40a is “continue”, as shown in FIG. 16 (f), the production display device 14 produces an effect of informing the start of the extra random dance, and the extra random dance again. Is performed (+1 set). Note that the previous [7 alignment] (here, [7 alignment] by [Red Seven]) is temporarily stopped in the fluoroscopic window 16.

  After that, as a result of repeating the flow of FIG. 16 (b) → (c) → (d), (e), the main control CPU 40a is temporarily stopped in the scene where the last [7 set] based on the operation pattern is temporarily stopped. Once again, a random lottery will be held. On the basis of the result of continuous lottery of the extra dance performed by the main control CPU 40a, the effect display device 14 produces an effect, and the see-through window 16 changes each reel.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13B, when the continuous lottery of the extra dance performed by the main control CPU 40a is “non-continuous”, the effect display device 14 performs an effect similar to that shown in FIG. Is called. After that, when the freeze is released, stop button stop operation can be accepted, and as shown in FIG. 16G, the cumulative number of ART additions notified through the effect display device 14 via “Bonus” and addition dance ( Here, a final effect of displaying an image of “+ 100G”) is performed, and each reel that is normally rotated in the fluoroscopic window 16 is changed (to a bonus).

Next, the case where the red BN combination and the four-bell combination are won simultaneously will be described.
That is, as shown in FIG. 13C, when the red BN combination and the four-bell combination are won, the stop display of the stop button can be accepted because the freeze operation is not being performed. , Red 7 navigation effect is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 14A, a red 7 navigation effect is performed on the effect display device 14, and a stop operation is performed according to the red 7 navigation effect, as shown in FIG. [Red 7 alignment] is stopped and displayed in the fluoroscopic window 16.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13C, when the freeze is set (freeze start) based on the operation of the start lever 22, the presentation display device 14 performs an extra presentation, and the perspective window 16 changes the random behavior. Is done. That is, as shown in FIGS. 16A, 16 </ b> C to 16 </ b> G, the effect display device 14 performs an extra effect based on the display effect, and the perspective window 16 changes or stops the effect on the effect of each reel. Random fluctuation based is performed. As a result, the extra dance based on the extra production and the random fluctuation is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16A, the effect display device 14 performs an effect of informing the start of the extra dance, and [Red 7 assortment] is stopped and displayed in the fluoroscopic window 16. Subsequently, as in the case of overlapping winning of the white BN role and the four-bell role, as shown in FIGS. 16C to 16G, the extra dance based on the extra effect and the random fluctuation is performed.

  Then, in the scene where the last [7 set] based on the motion pattern is temporarily stopped (after the maximum of 3 executions), the effect display device 14 produces an effect based on the result of the continuous lottery of the extra random dance performed by the main control CPU 40a. And the reels are changed in the see-through window 16. When the continuous lottery of the extra random dance performed by the CPU 40a for main control is “continue”, as shown in FIG. 16 (f), it is added by the effect display device 14 as in the case of overlapping winning of the white BN role and the four-bell role. An effect is provided to notify the start of the ransom, and the swaying is performed again (+1 set). Thereafter, the flow of FIG. 16B → (c) → (d), (e) is repeated as in the case of winning the white BN role and the four-bell role.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13C, when the continuous lottery of the extra random dance performed by the main control CPU 40a is “non-continuous”, the effect display device 14 is the same as in the case of overlapping winning of the white BN role and the 4-bell role. Thus, an effect similar to that shown in FIG. Thereafter, in the scene where the freeze is canceled, as in the case of overlapping winning of the white BN role and the four-bell role, as shown in FIG. The change of each reel which becomes normal rotation is performed (to bonus).

  In this embodiment configured as described above, the player is notified of the ART addition, that is, the provision of a privilege, by temporarily stopping [7 sets] during freezing. And during freeze, it is possible to display [7 assortments] on the fluoroscopic window 16 a plurality of times (up to 3 times) with a set of random additions, that is, the notification regarding the ART addition can be displayed a plurality of times. , [7 Align] is temporarily displayed and the effect is displayed so that the number of times (profit) of adding ART increases.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the red BN role and the four-bell role are elected, the extra dance is performed via [Red 7 assortment], while when the white BN role and the four-bell role is elected, the extra is added. When random dance is performed, the random dance is performed without going through [Red 7 assortment]. As a result, it is possible to increase variations in the process up to the extra random dance according to the winning content.

  Further, when the red BN role and the four-bell role are selected, a random dance is performed via [Red 7 assortment]. That is, when the red BN role and the four-bell role are selected, a stop display of [Red 7 assortment] is allowed by the main control CPU 40a prior to the extra rampage, and a red 7 navigation effect is provided to notify that effect. Is performed by the sub-control CPU 41a. Thereby, a player can be made to grasp | ascertain the flow to an addition random dance.

  On the other hand, at the time of overlapping winning of the white BN role and the four-bell role, if the extra random dance is performed, the extra random dance is performed without going through [Red 7 assortment]. That is, at the time of overlapping winning of the white BN role and the 4-bell role, the red 7 navigation effect is performed by the sub-control CPU 41a, but the stop display of [Red 7 assortment] is not allowed by the main control CPU 40a prior to the overloading dance. . However, when the white BN role and the four-bell role are overlapped, when the extra random dance is performed, the development chance is given by the main control CPU 40a and the sub control CPU 41a prior to the extra random dance during the freeze. As a result, the player can be made aware of the flow to the extra dance without going through [Red 7 assortment].

  Further, in the present embodiment, in order to stop and display [Red 7 assortment], the first right operation by the player (affirmation in step S12 or affirmation in step S23) is used as a stop operation. Thereby, as a result of the player performing the first right operation, the player can be connected to the freeze, so that the player can grasp the transition to the freeze.

  Also, in the present embodiment, in order to temporarily stop [7 Align] due to extra random dance, on the condition that [Red 7 Align] or [Red 7 Misalignment] is stopped and displayed according to the red 7 navigation effect. Yes. As a result, the player performs a stop operation so as to stop and display [Red 7 alignment] and [Red 7 shift] according to the red 7 navigation effect, so that the player can entertain the extra dance performance. Become.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in order to display [White 7 Alignment] with a development opportunity, it is a condition that [Red 7 shift] is stopped and displayed according to the red 7 navigation effect. As a result, the player performs a stop operation so as to stop and display [Red 7 shift] according to the red 7 navigation effect, so that the player can entertain the development opportunity.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a technique is used in which the expression is expressed so that the number (addition) of the ART addition increases as [7 set] is temporarily stopped during the addition dance. Further, with regard to the extra random dance, the fluctuation start time can be shortened by operating the start lever 22 until the fluctuation in the production of each reel (random fluctuation) is started. In other words, during the uplifting dance, the effect is expressed as if the change in the effect of each reel was started by the operation of the start lever 22 by the player. Furthermore, with regard to extra random dance, it will be re-executed after the fluctuation in the production of each reel based on the motion pattern is completed by becoming “winning” in the continuous lottery of the extra random dance performed until the end of the extra random dance based on the motion pattern. It is supposed to be. That is, during the extra dance, the player's operation of the start lever 22 is expressed as if it was reflected in the result of the continued lottery of the extra dance.

  Further, in the present embodiment, with regard to the continued random drawing of the extra random dance, the last [7 set] temporary stop based on the operation pattern is used as a trigger. As a result, even if [7 set] is displayed a plurality of times (up to 3 times) based on the motion pattern, the continuous lottery for the extra random dance is only one, so in the continuous lottery for the extra random dance, Even in the case of “continuation”, “7 sets” can be displayed a plurality of times.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 18A to 18D, the same [7 sets] temporary stop is generated based on the result of continuous lottery of addition random dance between selection modes of different operation patterns, Furthermore, the same ART addition may be generated.

  18 (a) to 18 (d), there are three [7 sets] temporary stops in the order of [white seven] → [white seven] → [red seven] in the transparent window 16. On the premise of the scene of the extra random dance in which the notification of the ART addition of “10G (times)” → “20G (times)” → “50G (times)” is generated on the effect display device 14 at each [7 set]. Yes.

  That is, in accordance with the temporary stop of the first [7 Align] at the fluoroscopic window 16, the effect display device 14 is notified of “+ 10G”, that is, “10 times” of ART addition. Subsequently, in accordance with the second temporary stop of [7] at the fluoroscopic window 16, the effect display device 14 reports “+ 30G”, that is, the first “10 times” ART addition and the second time. The occurrence of the “30 times” ART addition, which is an accumulation of the “20 times” ART addition, is notified. Subsequently, in accordance with the third stop of the “seven” at the fluoroscopic window 16, the effect display device 14 notifies “+80 G”, that is, the first and second “30” ARTs. Occurrence of the “80 times” ART addition, which is an accumulation of the “50 times” ART addition and the third “50 times” ART addition, is notified.

  As shown in FIG. 18 (a), in the extra random dance based on the motion pattern P8, three precondition [7 assortments] are generated without interposing the random extra lottery between each [7 assortment]. .

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 18B, in the extra random dance based on the motion pattern P4 and the motion pattern P3, “continuation” is performed in the continuous lottery performed at the last (second time) [7 times] timing in the motion pattern P4. ”Is derived, and [7 assortment] that is the premise is generated by [7 assortment] based on the subsequent operation pattern P3.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18C, in the extra random dance based on the motion pattern P2 and the motion pattern P5, “continuation” is performed in the continuous lottery performed at the last (first time) [7 times] timing in the motion pattern P2. ”Is derived, and [7 Align] is generated three times as a premise by [7 Align] based on the subsequent operation pattern P5.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18D, in the extra random dance based on the motion pattern P2, the motion pattern P2, and the motion pattern P3, it is performed at the timing of the last (first time) [7 sets] in the first motion pattern P2. In the continuous lottery, the result of “continuation” is derived, and [7 alignment] is generated twice by [7 alignment] based on the subsequent operation pattern P2. Subsequently, the result of “continue” is derived in the continuous lottery performed at the last (first time) [7 assortment] timing in the second operation pattern P2, and the subsequent [7 assortment] based on the operation pattern P3 is performed. , Three preconditions [7 sets] occur.

  For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 18A, the player generates an “80 times” ART extra without satisfying “continuation” in the extra lottery continuous lottery, and the subsequent extra random dance in the subsequent lottery. Even “non-continuation” can generate at least “80 times” ART addition.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 18B, the player generates an “80 times” ART extra by satisfying “continuation” once in the extra lottery of the extra lottery, and tentatively, Even “non-continuation” can generate at least two [7 sets], ie, “30 times” ART additions.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 18C, the player generates an “80 times” ART extra by satisfying “continue” once in the extra lottery continuous lottery. If it is “non-continuous”, the occurrence of one [7 ass], that is, “10 times” of ART addition is stopped.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 18D, the player generates “80 times” ART extra by satisfying “continue” twice in the extra lottery continuous lottery, and “ By satisfying “continue” once, it is possible to generate two [7 sets], ie, “30 times” ART addition. On the other hand, in this example, if the player cannot satisfy “continuation” in the continuous lottery of the extra random dance, the player will stop generating the ART addition of “7 times”, that is, “10 times”.

  As described above, when the same [7 sets] and ART addition are generated, the conditions to be satisfied differ depending on the operation pattern. In addition, in the movement patterns P4 and P8 that define two or three [7 assortments] in one set of extra random dances, the continuous random drawing of the extra random dances is not inserted until the second or third [7 assortment]. Even in the case of “non-continuation” in the continuous lottery, it is possible to generate [7 sets] at least twice.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) During freezing, an extra random movement accompanied by the operation of reels of a plurality of rows (in this embodiment, three rows) is performed, and an ART can be added during the extra dance. With regard to such ART addition, the player is notified by a temporary stop of [7 set]. Then, during the extra dance, [7 assortment] is stopped a plurality of times (in this embodiment, a maximum of three times), that is, the notification regarding the ART addition can be performed a plurality of times. The effect is expressed in such a way that the profit from the addition of ART increases as the number of stops is increased. By using such a technique of expression, it is possible to improve the interest during freezing.

  (2) During a freeze in which the start of a variable game is stagnant, some players may be confused without knowing what is happening because the progress of the variable game is stagnant. For this reason, in the case of the winning combination of the white BN role and the four-bell role, the development opportunity is given prior to the extra dance during the freeze. This allows the player to know what is happening when a development opportunity is made during the freeze. That is, it is possible to prevent the player from being confused.

  (3) In the case of the winning combination of the red BN role and the four-bell role, the stop display of [Red 7 assortment] that notifies the start (setting) of the freeze prior to the freeze is allowed. As a result of permitting the stop display of [Red 7 assortment] in this way, when the [Red 7 assortment] is displayed as a stop, the player can be made aware of what is happening. Also, in the case of overlapping winning combination of white BN and 4 bells, [Red 7 assortment] is not allowed, but if a development opportunity is made after the start (setting) of freeze, what happens? It will be possible for the player to grasp. For this reason, it is possible to increase the variation of the process up to the extra dance, and to prevent the player from being confused even if the variation is increased in this way.

  (4) The stop display of [Red 7 assortment] includes a first right operation by the player as a stop operation. Thereby, as a result of the player performing the first right operation, the player can be connected to the freeze, so that the player can grasp the transition to the freeze. For this reason, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of a situation where it is impossible to grasp what is happening during the freeze.

  (5) In order to temporarily stop [7 Alignment] due to extra random dance, [Red 7 Align] or [Red 7 Misalignment] will be selected according to each overlapping winning combination at the time of overlapping winning of each BN role and 4 bell role. The configuration includes that the display is stopped. As a result, the player performs a stop operation so that [Red 7 Alignment] or [Red 7 Misalignment] is stopped and displayed in accordance with each overlapping winning combination at the time of overlapping winning of each BN role and 4 bell role. Will be able to entertain the player. For this reason, the interest of the process up to freezing as well as during freezing can be improved.

  (6) In order to temporarily stop [White 7 assortment] at a development opportunity, the configuration includes the condition that [Red 7 shift] is stopped and displayed when the white BN role and the 4-bell role are duplicated. did. As a result, the player performs a stop operation so as to stop and display [Red 7 shift] at the time of overlapping winning of the white BN role and the four-bell role, so that the player can have an opportunity to develop. For this reason, the interest of the process up to freezing as well as during freezing can be improved.

  (7) For the extra random dance, a technique is used in which the expression is expressed so that the profit from adding the ART increases as [7 set] is temporarily stopped. Further, with regard to the extra random dance, the variation start time (maximum 4 seconds in the present embodiment) can be shortened by operating the start lever 22 until the operation of the reels in a plurality of rows is started. In addition, with regard to the extra random dance, the “continuation” is performed in the continuous lottery of the extra random dance performed until the end of the extra random dance based on the operation pattern. It was set as the structure. Therefore, when the fluctuation start time is shortened by the player's operation of the start lever 22 during the freezing, the effect is expressed as if the operation of the reels in a plurality of rows is started in accordance with the operation. Furthermore, depending on such a performance expression, in a situation where “continuation” is made in the continuous lottery of the extra random dance, this result is reflected in the operation of the start lever 22 by the player, and as a result, the extra dance is performed again by the operation. That is, it is expressed as if it were continued. By using such a technique of expression, it is possible to improve the interest during freezing.

  (8) Concerning the continued lottery of the extra random dance, the last [7 set] temporary stop based on the operation pattern is used as a trigger. As a result, even if a temporary stop of [7 sets] is displayed a plurality of times based on the operation pattern, the continued lottery of the extra random dance is only once. Even in this case, [7 sets] can be displayed a plurality of times (in this embodiment, two times or more). In other words, compared to a specification that requires “continuation” in a single lottery continuation lottery for one [7 set] temporary stop, [7 sets] stop chance, that is, a player can enjoy The number of scenes can be increased effectively.

  (9) During the freeze, the operation of the start lever 22 for performing the start operation is employed as a trigger for shortening the fluctuation start time due to the operation of the start lever 22 by the player. That is, since the role lottery is performed on the basis of the start operation, the player's operation is expressed as if it is a lottery opportunity for the continued lottery of the random dance. As a result, the kite can also contribute to the effective realization of the effect expression such that the extra dance is performed again by the player's operation, that is, continued.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In this embodiment, regarding the development opportunity, even when [Red 7 shift] is not stopped and displayed based on the red 7 navigation effect, [White 7 alignment] can be temporarily stopped.

  -In this embodiment, regarding the extra dance, it is possible to temporarily stop [7 alignment] even when [Red 7 alignment] or [Red 7 shift] is not stopped and displayed based on the red 7 navigation effect. .

  In the present embodiment, steps S12 and S23 of the extra random setting process can be deleted, and the first right operation is not required as a condition for the stop display of [Red 7 alignment] or [Red 7 shift]. You can also. In this case, for example, a stop operation is performed at a timing at which a specific symbol (for example, [Red Seven]) is stopped and displayed on each reel as a stop display condition of [Red 7 Alignment] or [Red 7 Shift]. It is good only as well. In addition, as a condition for the stop display of [Red 7 Alignment] and [Red 7 Shift], stop display can also be made possible by a stop operation at an appropriate timing in an appropriate order without any conditions. This can be realized by the main control CPU 40a forcibly controlling the stop display of [Red 7 alignment] or [Red 7 shift].

  -In this embodiment, it is good also as a structure which generate | occur | produces the flow which does not go through the flow through a development opportunity irrespective of the winning contents of each duplicate BN and 4 bell combination regardless of the winning content of the duplicate winning. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which always passes through a development opportunity for generation | occurrence | production of a superfluous dance. Also, at the time of overlapping winning of the white BN role and the 4-bell role, if the determination result of step S21 is negative, the development chance to derive the result of “failure” is performed as in the case of the independent winning of the 4-bell role. Also good.

  In the present embodiment, prior to the extra random dance or the development opportunity, it is not necessary to perform notification by a specific stop eye of [Red 7 alignment] or [Red 7 shift]. In this case, it is possible to suddenly generate a freeze by operating the start lever 22, and to perform an extra dance and a development opportunity.

  In the present embodiment, [Red 7 assortment] can be displayed in a stopped state even when no extra dance is performed. In this case, it may be configured to notify the level of the possibility of the extra random dance depending on whether [Red 7 alignment] or [Red 7 shift] is stopped and displayed. For example, it is more likely that an extra random dance will be performed when [Red 7 Alignment] is displayed when [Red 7 Shift] is displayed. Under this alternative example, it is also possible to make the development chance feasible after [Seven Red].

In the present embodiment, it is possible to set a freeze for a single winning combination of a red BN role or a white BN role, and it is also possible to perform a freeze effect such as an extra dance.
-In this embodiment, it is not necessary to set a development opportunity.

  In this embodiment, if it is possible to notify the start of the extra random dance, the extra random dance preparation stop may be changed to, for example, [White 7 Align] or a dedicated stop. Similarly, the development preparation stoppage may be changed.

  In the present embodiment, step S21 of the extra dance setting process may be deleted, and the extra dance may be executed at a rate of 100% when the white BN combination and the four-bell combination are selected. On the other hand, a process corresponding to step S21 can be added between step S11 and step S12 of the extra dance setting process, and the extra dance is not performed at the time of overlapping winning of the red BN role and the four-bell role. May be included.

  -In this embodiment, if it is possible to notify the start of the extra dance, the development mode of the development chance may be changed, and the extra dance stop eye is changed to, for example, [Red 7 assortment] or a dedicated stop. May be. In addition, with respect to each reel, some effect (development reach effect) can be performed only by the effect display device 14 with a rotation different from the normal rotation.

  -In this embodiment, the freeze setting can be set based on the winning details in the role lottery. However, as in the bonus standby state, the freeze (additional dance etc.) is set based on the information already acquired. It may be possible. In addition, regarding freeze (additional dance, etc.), it may be set in a situation where there is an ART flag that is not in the ART mode. In this case, it may not be based on the winning contents in the winning lottery. In addition, regarding freezes (additional dance, etc.), it may be possible to make a setting at the time of overlapping winning of each BN combination in the normal mode or the preparation mode. In addition, freeze (such as extra dance) may be settable during BN game. In this case, during the BN game, a lottery similar to the ART rush lottery may be performed, and when it becomes “winning”, it may be possible to set Freeze 8 Addition Ranbu etc.).

  In the present embodiment, the opportunity for shortening the variation start time until the start of the variation in the production of each reel related to the extra random dance is not the operation of the start lever 22, but the BET buttons 19, 20 and the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, or a dedicated operation means (button or the like) may be set. The operations of these various levers and buttons may be set not only to a single operation but also to a plurality of operations, or so-called “long press” that maintains the operation detection state.

  In the present embodiment, the timing for performing the random drawing of the extra random dance may be during the execution of one set of extra random dance based on the operation pattern, and is performed during the timing of step S43 of the extra random dance execution process or during step S44. You can also. As for the extra random dance, in the case of a specification that does not shift to step S40 to step S43 of the extra random execution process without operating the start lever 22, the extra random dance is performed at the timing of operating the start lever 22 that triggers the transition to step S43. It is also possible to perform a continuous lottery.

  -In this embodiment, the ratio of “continuation” may be changed in the continuous lottery of the extra random dance, and the lottery can be selected by lottery at the start of the extra random dance (freeze setting). It can also be determined, or can be determined by lottery from a plurality of types of ratios (continuation rate) each time or in part when determining the operation pattern.

  -In this embodiment, if the extra lottery continues lottery is “non-continuous”, it freezes immediately without setting the same 4 seconds as the start time of the variation on the production of each reel related to the extra random dance. It is also possible to adopt a configuration for canceling. In addition, in the case of “non-continuation” in the continuous lottery of the extra random dance, the final effect or the normal effect may be executed with respect to the display effect of the effect display device 14 when the start lever 22 is operated.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration of the operation pattern may be changed. For example, [7 Align] can be either [Red Seven] or [White Seven]. In addition, as the operation pattern, a pattern may be set in which [7 Align] is ended without being stopped even once by adding random dance. In addition, the operation pattern may be set to a pattern that determines [7 aligns] by [white seven] after [7 aligns] by [red seven]. In the operation pattern, if the maximum number of times [7 set] is temporarily stopped is plural, it may be changed to two times or four times or more. In the pattern lottery, the ratios for determining the operation patterns P1 to P9 may be different for each pattern.

  In the present embodiment, regarding the ART addition, the sub-control CPU 41a may determine the total number of ART additions based on the operation pattern, and distribute and notify the determined number for each [7 sets]. .

  -In this embodiment, ART addition was set as a privilege, but a privilege that increases the continuation rate of ART continuous lottery in ART mode can also be set, or a privilege related to an increase in award medals can be set in BN games. it can. Moreover, as such a privilege, you may show a player the effect and image which can be seen only during freezing.

  In the present embodiment, three rows (all rows) of reels are varied with respect to random fluctuations or reach fluctuations. However, one or two rows of reels may be varied. For example, when changing the reels in one row, [Red Seven] is stopped and displayed at any one of the symbol stop positions instead of [Red Seven Align], or the symbol stop position is replaced with [White Seven Align]. [White Seven] is stopped and displayed on any of the above, or [Red Seven] is stopped and displayed on any of the symbol stop positions instead of [Seven].

  In the present embodiment, the period for controlling the ART mode can be determined by time. In this case, in order to extend the game period, the time for controlling to the ART mode is extended.

  In the present embodiment, the specification of the transition of the production state until the entry of the ART mode may be changed. For example, by changing to the preparation mode on the condition that the prescribed number of times of the fluctuating game has passed in the normal mode, It is also possible to create a state that allows a transition to the mode, and to make a specification that shifts to the ART mode when a special SIN spill occurs thereafter.

  In the present embodiment, the ART mode can be realized by a stock type that manages a set unit. In this case, in order to extend the game period, the number of sets to which the ART mode is given may be added. Further, the period during which the ART mode is controlled can be set according to the number of times of the bell navigation effect. In this case, the number of various navigation effects may be added to extend the game period.

  In the present embodiment, the advantageous game state may be advantageous to the player, and for example, the winning probability of the combined replay role can be set almost the same as other game states. In this case, in the advantageous gaming state, it is possible for the player to be advantageous if the specification allows the bell navigation effect to be performed.

In this embodiment, the configuration of the game state may be arbitrarily changed, and the types of general games having different RT performances can be increased.
In the present embodiment, a combination of symbols that determines award medal payout can be set as an opportunity for the transition between the low probability RT game and the high probability RT game.

  -This embodiment can also be applied to the pachislot machine in which the effect display device 14 is not provided. In this case, the effect state is notified to the player by the light emission effect of the lamp R, or a dedicated lamp for each effect state is provided to light the effect state to the player, or the sound of the speaker SP The player may be notified of the effect state by the effect. In this case, various effects such as a freeze effect and various navigations may be performed by the lamp R and the speaker SP.

  In the present embodiment, the end of the BN game can be defined only by the number of winnings, or can be defined only by the number of executions. In addition, the types of BN roles can be increased, or the BN role may be a challenge time (so-called “CT”).
